My fave workout partner. 💋

There are a ton of benefits to meditation. Recently these 4 benefits have really been helping me.

1) Enhances self-awareness: focusing on your breath coming in and out of your body really reminds you you’re alive. It also helps you stop focusing on other people and really notice yourself.

2) Controls stress: Between constant changes since this pandemic has started, being a full time mom, having a job and building a business theres a bunch of things I have to handle everyday and meditation helps me slow things down and put the day in order.

3)Controls anxiety: I have a lot of big goals and put a lot of pressure on myself. Meditation helps we slow things down, take things one thing at a time and realize that everything doesn’t need to get done at once.

4)Keeps you present: this one is so big with me because I really do want to enjoy all the little moments with Liv and not be in such a eagerness to get too tomorrow’s success’s that I don’t appreciate the gift of today.

How does meditation help you? 💋

I think a lot of peoples problem when it comes to fitness is that they stress about their specific goal instead of really embracing the lifestyle.

I’ve been to 10 states and another country the last 3 months so getting to my specific goal is taking me a little longer.

But every where I’ve been I’ve found healthy options for food and I’ve made time to workout (even if it’s just in my hotel room with bands) because instead of looking at working out and eating clean as some punishment I have to endure in order to reach this goal I’ve embraced that it’s apart of being human. I’m still on the path towards a goal but I’m not letting it become a stress if it’s not happening exactly when I’d like it too.

We brush our teeth, use the bathroom, and take a shower everyday. Eating clean and finding some time to move should be on that list of daily activities as well.

Goals are fun, they motivate you and build your self confidence once completed but once they are reached your done and you should never be done with eating clean and working out.

If you need help with shifting your mindset on how you think and feel about fitness shoot me a DM that says 💋

The picture on the left I was 128lbs doing a lot of cardio and eating at a deficit because I was doing the Miss California Pageant. I was about 160lbs the year before and most people couldn’t believe how small I got.

Since Livia I’ve been pretty steadily around 135 which is my normal weight when I’m working out and eating clean.

The picture on the right is me at 155lbs, eating extra calories (to fuel muscle growth) and lifting heavy.

You’re body is like clay weighting to be molded and the foods you eat and the exercises you choose are the tools you use to get the curves or the cut you want.

It takes discipline, knowledge, consistency and hard work but you truly can make your body a work of art.

Message me “Body Goals” if you want me to help create your goal body. 💋

If you want a natural b***y you gotta feed it!

Most people have a really unhealthy relationship with food because in society we value it when it’s art (culinary practices) but we don’t learn enough about the science.

When my clients come to me are usually eating way less then they should and not feeding their muscles. They think in order to get the body they want they gotta only eat salads and work out 7 days a week.

Ain’t nobody got time for that. If you’re interested in learning more about eating meals that match your workouts and will help you hit your body goals without starving yourself DM me “Body Goals”. 💋

Heading back to California tomorrow. It’s been fun seeing the country the last few months but I am missing LA!

This random trip was definitely an experience but I am ready to be back in my natural environment and a consistent schedule.

Anybody else have a city that they can’t stay away from for too long? 💋

Get some sun and boost those serotonin levels. 😁 . 🌻☀️

Who didn’t feel like working out this morning but still worked out this morning? 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️

And it’s because I rely on my habits instead of motivation. I treat eating clean and working out like brushing my teeth or taking a shower. It’s a necessary part of my upkeep.

Too many people treat it as a hobby that you wish you had more time for and that mindset is keeping you unhealthy.

Stop waiting for a doctor to tell you you’re sick and you need to take these meds everyday and subscribe yourself to a healthy lifestyle.

If you need someone to help you build habits that will keep you in check rather you’re motivated or not...Send me a DM. ☺️💋

The Sizzlin Summer Challenge begins tomorrow... if you want to build that b***y and sn**ch that waist before bathing suit season begins... hit the link in the bio. 💋

The face when a potential client is telling me they don’t have time to work out.

You don’t really need more then 30 minutes of working out a day if you’re eating right. And it’s a lot easier to eat right when you have a meal plan for the week.

If you’re not ready to change be honest but I’m not one for excuses. There’s always a solution if you look for it and there’s always an excuse if you look for it.

If you’re looking for a solution join my Sizzlin Summer program that starts Monday. Link in bio. 💋
