I am the kind of girl who thrives on routine… which is why these last couple weeks have been tough on me. It might not seem like it but moving into a new place can really get you out of whack. Everything changes. Especially when it’s involving 4 adults, 3 dogs and 2 cats; things can get pretty cray-cray up in here

As a fitness & nutrition coach this is one of the questions I get asked the most. Actually I lied. It’s pretty much is the ONLY question I get asked - and with good reason right? I am a fitness trainer after all. We ask our dentist if our teeth hurt and we go to our hairdresser to get our hair cut.

We’ve all heard it a million times from our Doctor, trainers, esthetician and parents….DRINK MORE WATER.
Some of us will do it without even hesitating, while the other half think the water made from coffee is good enough. But, whether you understand this or not, drinking water is so important. Not only does drinking water save you money (he prices of coffee at Starbucks can get ridiculous!) but there is valid proof and research as to why we should all drink more water:

Do you constantly find yourself scrolling through Instagram looking at pictures of other girls and comparing them to you? Could it be that you think they have a better butt? Tighter abs? More followers? You might think, ‘How can you be better than her?’ so that you can feel successful and happy.

These days, I love setting goals. However, I haven’t always been this way. . Back when I was in high school, I was more focused on the cute boy on the basketball team or spending time with my friends than I was focused on my future. Oh the good ‘ol days lol.

If there were only one body part that all of us ladies wanted to grow it would be the…GLUTES!
Some ladies are born being bootylicious while the rest of us have to work for it. I’ve been able to grow mine slowly.

Ok so let’s be real for a sec, as women, we tend to compare ourselves to others. I know I am 100% guilty of this. However, does that mean its ok if everyone does it? Hell no!

Welcome to 2019. The year of crushing our fitness goals, am I right? I know that the holidays can be fun and all but they might not be the most helpful as far as our fitness journey is concerned. Of course, the new year is about starting fresh and new beginnings. I know many of you ladies will make promises to yourselves of losing those extra lbs that you’ve been trying to lose since 2018.

I used to go all out on Thanksgiving, like 2-3 plates all out! However, I would feel sick the rest of the day and I wouldn't’’t really even get to enjoy it. That is not fun either. Instead I serve myself a little bit of everything and sit down and talk to those around me. I would honestly just scarf down the food without even looking up and kept eating and eating like an open pit. I prefer not to do that just so I won’t feel sick after and get to enjoy the rest of my night and be able to rest up for BLACK FRIDAY

I get asked this question a lot, by friends, family, clients , etc. Basically everyone is intrigued by this question. I think it's partially because everyone is looking for an easy fix to losing weight and getting healthy. I mean if not there wouldn’t be an entire industry of supplements and diet pills promising to get you thin quick, Or maybe they just want to maximize their time at the gym since most don’t really like it but they go because they figure it's the only way they will lose weight.

Whenever someone embarks on a fitness journey, its is human nature to want to go all in. Meaning you want to buy every fruit and vegetable in the grocery store, new gym clothes and accessories and most importantly supplements. My clients are always asking me what is the best supplement that they can get for the best results. The fitness industry has led us all to believe that without these supplements we will never get the results that we want.

Now that the temperatures are dropping (except over here in Miami) it's nice to snuggle up with your loved ones and indulge in a nice bowl of comfort food. There’s just something about cold temperatures and a nice big bowl of Mac n’ cheese or a nice warm cup of chili that brings the whole Netflix n Chill to a whole new level. Winter months also mean a bit more fluff in the trunk.I mean if the bears do it….shouldn’t that be normal?

You are not alone. Many of my clients come to me with some sort of trauma they’ve had with the weight scale. There is a 50/50 chance that they NEVER use that dreaded object. Some of them hide it away in the bathroom closet collecting dust and occasionally let it catch some light when they want to weigh luggage to prevent that $50 “overweight” fee.

Coffee has been my addiction but I do know that it isn’t that great for you. So I have tried to like green tea because of the many health benefits it has. That was a fail. I usually just end up throwing the tea away (I know, so sad). I gave up on my attempts of trying to get into the “tea” world and came to terms with the fact that my love for coffee will just have to do.
