Patience is a Virtue

I get confronted on a daily basis from both my clients and other fitness competitors regarding their current workout/nutrition program and their results. A lot of the time we expect things to happen overnight - we are a pretty impatient bunch! However we all know that results do not happen overnight, hardly anything can happen that quickly. Unfortunately we can not wave a magic wand to see immediate results. Although at times we feel that we are working super hard in our workouts and making continuous efforts in our nutrition, there may be setbacks here and there that we easily forget about it. That's why I always recommend writing down EVERYTHING that you do - both workouts and nutrition. This way, you can always look back to see what you did in the past week that either contributed to your progress or hindered your progress. The #1 piece of advice that I always give is to be consistent in what you do - consistency is key and will ultimately lead to results. Trust in the entire process and what is set out in front of you and take each day 1 by 1 - if you tackle each day and know that you conquered it 100%, it will get that much easier to reach your goals....patience is a virtue :)

I'm Baaaacccckkk!

Ok, so I took a little hiatus from blogging. Maybe not a little one - it's definitely been a while and I apologize. The rest of my 2010 got a little crazy and there were many changes for me - some good and some bad. Needless to say, I am doing great and I'm ready to start blogging away again :)

I'm still currently personal training and teaching group classes and I'm having a blast with it all. I decreased my client load and now have a solid base of clients where I get more out of training and it doesn't burn me out. I also started working full time for a company that is beyond great - Lululemon Athletica. I have been wearing their clothes for years - best workout clothes around hands down! However the company itself is far more than just a retail clothing store that sells high quality workout clothes. It's a community of people that share the same values and beliefs, who come together to make each and every one of us better. In fact, I started blogging again because of Lululemon. We believe in goal coaching and setting 1, 5 and 10 year goals for ourselves. I know, it seems crazy to think of 10 year goals but I actually sat down and started writing - I knew I waned to blog again and to start up a new website in the near future so here I am :) I thank them for pushing me to reach closer to my goals every day.

So sit back and get ready for more healthy recipes, training tips and videos and a lot more of .... me!
