I know it can be hard not to catch those Monday blues, but let me encourage you for a second.⁣
⁣
Instead of getting down/stressed/overwhelmed with all you have to do this week, let’s switch your perspective a bit. ⁣
Do you have air in your lungs? ⁣
Legs to run, walk, squat? ⁣
Arms to pick things up and put them down? ⁣
⁣
Yes? ⁣
Then you my friend, are blessed. There are people in the world right there that would give anything to move their body like you can.⁣
⁣
So use your God given ABILITIES this week. Look at this week as an OPPORTUNITY to actually take some ACTION. Action that brings you one step closer to your goals.⁣
⁣
Be intentional this week. Maybe for you that looks like penciling in an hour on your calendar 2x this week to get your workout in. Or maybe you are going to wake up early and go for a walk before you take the kids to school. ⁣
⁣
Just remember, today is full if opportunity. You make the choice.

Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE food. My favorites are Mediterranean (pita bread, hummus, kabobs oh my!) and I love some good tex mex 🌮⁣
⁣
But my point here is if you are hungry and craving things ALL THE TIME and can’t quit thinking about all those foods you won’t allow yourself to have, maybe your diet is a bit TOO RESTRICTIVE. ⁣
⁣
And/or maybe you aren’t eating ENOUGH. I see this often especially with women. I’ve had conversations with women that think 2000 calories (which most active women need at minim.) is an insane amount, let alone 1500 cals. These women usually have been dieting for years and never spent much time building back up their caloric intake. ⁣
⁣
Often times we can get trapped in a cycle of eating TOO LITTLE, especially when it comes to protein/overall calories and then have days where we eat WAY over because our body is hungry and our cravings out of control. ⁣
⁣
So maybe this is you. If it is, let’s chat! Send me a message! Let’s get you eating enough and the right balance of nutrients to support your body AT REST (BMR-basal metabolic rate baby!) and during activity (hello performance goals 💪🏻). When we do that you won’t be thinking of food 24/7 and actually enjoy foods YOU like a want to eat.

Happy Sunday ☀️ ⁣
⁣
Who’s getting a workout in today? Or are you taking a rest day? ⁣
⁣
I have a busy day tomorrow so I got my squat workout in yesterday & am doing upper body this morning! 💪🏻⁣
⁣
We went to church last night and it was just what this mama’s heart needed. ⁣
⁣
Hope everyone has a refreshing Sunday whatever today looks like for you! ♥️⁣
⁣
Ps. Really hoping for some SNOW ❄️ today in Dallas, anyone else?

I honestly don’t have the words for this week. I wish I did. I’ve felt defeated thinking about the future. Thinking about how can I possibly raise my son in a world that seems so dark, so lost. I kind of just wanted to crawl in a ball and hide from it all.⁣
⁣
But then I realized I can’t do that. What good would that do? No I have an important role to play. God has purposely placed Austin and at this time in history and given us our son to raise for such a time as this. It’s our job a Christ followers to teach him what Gods word says about marriage, love, forgiveness, hard work, how to treat others, how to be a strong biblical leader, etc. It’s up to us to raise up this next generation so that they can be the LIGHT. I couldn’t imagine growing up in this time in history and think about how confusing it’s going to be for these little ones. But guess what, God hasn’t left us alone in this world, he’s given us truth to stand on. ⁣
⁣
So mamas if you’ve been feeling down too, let’s take a stand in our homes, not retreat. Let’s commit to spreading light and living on the foundation of Gods word, the Bible. Let’s teach our children what Jesus says vs what our culture is going to tell them. ⁣
⁣
I thought these verses were fitting for what our nation is going through...praying for everyone 🙏🏻⁣
“Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.” 1 John 2:15-17 MSG⁣

Things are going to come up that are going to interfere with the goals you set out to achieve this week. ⁣
⁣
▫️How will you respond? ⁣
▫️What choices will you make to get right back on track?⁣
⁣
So often people will let one bad day ruin their whole week. They will let one bad meal turn into a whole week of unhealthy eating. If they miss one workout, they throw in the towel for the rest of the week. ⁣
⁣
But you know what you CAN do? ⁣
Accept it and keep GOING. ⁣
Give yourself grace but don’t give up just because things aren’t perfect. ⁣
If you’re striving for perfection, you’ll always struggle. ⁣
⁣
Strive for CONSISTENCY this week 💪🏻⁣

Ya’ll I am PUMPED for 2021 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
I am ready to see growth in all areas of my life. I don’t know about you guys but I am MOTIVATED. And if I could give you two pieces of advice as you start this new year it would be...⁣
⁣
▫️Write it all out: Put in down on paper. Your goals/intentions and just start with January. You don’t have to even commit to a full year. Write down your action steps and put them on your weekly calendar. For example, which days your gonna workout and what you will do on those days. Write down a meal plan to keep you on track when things get busy. Sometimes when you write things down it really puts it all in perspective and you might notice something you haven’t before.⁣
⁣
▫️Get you some accountability: This may mean hiring a coach. Or could mean buddying up with a friend or family member-checking in with each other and spurring each other on. Know that’s it’s okay to ask for help! It’s actually what successful people do 😉⁣
⁣
Maybe you are feeling depressed or unmotivated because of where you are at right now in your life and this is what I would tell you...⁣
You have 2 choices. ⁣
▫️You can choose to remain where you are repeating the same habits, doing the same things, etc. ⁣
▫️Or you can choose to make a change. Try something new. Maybe it will be uncomfortable at first but nothing great came from staying in ones comfort zone. ⁣
⁣
And lastly remember this...⁣
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” -Albert Einstein

You’re going to be bombarded with all the weight loss ads, detox teas, juice cleanses, body wraps, etc. tomorrow if they haven’t started getting you already. ⁣
⁣
But you know what? You can say “no, thanks.”⁣
⁣
You don’t have to do any of those crazy things and you shouldn’t be pressured into it or feel guilty. ⁣
⁣
While I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having weight loss goals, you shouldn’t feel like you have to change your body for anybody or to be accepted. ⁣
⁣
It’s okay to have goals that actually have nothing to do with the way your body looks. ⁣
⁣
For example...⁣
⁣
▫️Setting a strength PR on your deadlift⁣
⁣
▫️Increasing your mile run pace⁣
⁣
▫️Setting a record on strict push ups⁣
⁣
▫️Finally getting a bodyweight pull up⁣
⁣
▫️Reverse dieting to improve your metabolism and your health⁣
⁣
▫️Working on your hormonal health, improving your menstrual cycle, managing your stress⁣
⁣
▫️Meal prepping your lunch every day⁣
⁣
▫️Decreasing the amount of times you eat out per week to 1-2⁣
⁣
What I always tell my clients, if you focus on setting goals that aren’t just aesthetic related, you’ll be much happier and enjoy your training much more. ⁣

“I think a lot of women are afraid to be strong. I think they worry about what other people will think. They worry they will be judged. Many of us are still intimidated to walk into a weight room. Will we look awkward? Will people stare at us?⁣
⁣
What if you quit caring what other people thought about you. ⁣
Would your life look any different? ⁣
Would you FINALLY be able to go after your goals?”⁣ -Anna, Founder of Equipping Strength

Just a friendly reminder for those who still think an effective workout is one that burns the most calories 🔥 ⁣
⁣
But don’t worry, I totally used to think that. Which led to all my workouts being a long cardio session. Yes I “lifted weights” but not effectively because everything was fast paced with intervals of jumping on the treadmill or doing burpees 🤢⁣
⁣
Want to know the secret recipe? 📝 ⁣
⁣
Lift weights. Focus on squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, pull ups and rows (as your main lifts-not limited to)⁣
Progressive overload is key here, which basically means you need to do more over time (reps, weight, sets, etc...there is a method to it) ⁣
Work on those strength gains and you’ll build a nice shape 💪🏻⁣
⁣
Adjust your nutritional intake🍴 (this will change as your goals change) ⁣
You MUST be in a caloric deficit to lose weight! Want to maintain your weight and just build muscle? Well you’ll also need to make sure your intake is adequate as well as enough protein/balanced intake of macronutrients 🍳🍗🍠🥑⁣
⁣
Where does CARDIO fit in? 🏃🏻‍♀️⁣
Well you don’t HAVE to have cardio in your routine...I do suggest daily walking for everyone for all it’s benefits but if you want to do some formal cardio (esp if your goal is fat loss) there is a place for that. ⁣
Just use cardio as a tool to help increase your caloric deficit. Start slow maybe 30min sessions 2x a week and if you start to plateau then increase slowly. Do these after a strength session or on a separate day/time. ⁣
You don’t want your cardio to interfere with recovery so plan wisely 👌🏻 ⁣
Oh and if your goal is not fat loss and you loving running/cycling/etc in addition to lifting, you will need to increase your caloric intake to balance things out. ⁣
