You can always break bad habits!

Hi loves!

This has been my life for the past 6 months!! I don't regret it but I'm starting to see how it can spiral out of control and put me right back where I started. I was almost 200 lbs., plump and unhappy, finding attention and love in all the wrong places....

So I'm challenging myself to 21 days of no cheating, regimen and dedication to myself! ‪#‎icandoit‬ ‪#‎again‬

Challenge yourself daily, it's a part of growing and developing who you truly are!

Bad habits are hard to break, what is even harder is knowing exactly what you need to do to get yourself to your goals but you are not doing! 

My tips to you:

>> Make it conscious, don't only figure out what it is but WHY you are doing it. 

>> Put it in WRITING so it sinks in and post it up somewhere where you will see it everyday.

>> Switch you bad habit with a good habit, something that will help distract you from your bad habit!

So now I am going to truly challenge myself (and encourage you too do the same) and close out 2015 strong!

Who is with me!? Send me an email so that I can help get you started before the New Year!

Be a goof with me!

Hey gorgeous!

Ahhhh I'm a three legged monster, just kidding just kidding! :D

Email me or comment below so we can get you started. I cannot wait to have you join me on this journey

You have to work for it!

Sometimes, this is harder to do then to realize. I know exactly what I need to do to get the body, mind, and soul that I want. It's just getting past my own excuses to actually achieve it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I go through waves, intense waves of extreme self-control with my eye on the prize. And then boom, life hits, and every excuse in the book seems valid! The true balance is to find that middle point between the two extremes. Find the point that you can balance consistently, without wavering to one extreme or the other. This will be different for every person, that's what I found in my coaching and personal experience.

So my advice to you, is to really assess some goals that are not only a little bit scary but also attainable. And be accountable to those goals. Find a community that will uplift you and support you while you find your balance.

Remember that nobody's perfect, and were all going on her own health and fitness journey. You can do it, I know you can!

Hidden Gems: The music that will keep you SWEATING!

Your music can really change your workout!

Whether you like pop, rock, rap, or country, MUSIC can change your whole mentality and TRANSFORM your workout. Have you checked out Spotify yet? HOLY HELL this is music heaven, and I thought Pandora was the best thing, Spotify is killing it! 

Recently one of my challengers was asking for advice on music, the music in her daily program was just not cutting it anymore. HEY I feel the same way! I usually mute my home fitness program and tune in to some epic JAMS on Pandora. WELL I found that Spotify's playlists that FitSugar created are my new workout soul mates <3 

Here are the TOP 10 Playlists to REVAMP your workout

1. 100 Best Workout Songs

FitSugars ULTIMATE playlist on Spotify is a great way to not let your day to day routine get boring because 100 songs will last you a LONG time. With so many eclectic options in one place, you are SURE to find some new songs to add your own playlists.

Top Track: "F.N.T." - Semisonic 

 2. Cardio Electro-Pop

Perfect for an upbeat cardio workout -- or HEY a dance party is always needed on a slow day! You will hear some well known electro-inspired stars like LCD Soundsystem <3 and Robyn. BUT you may fall in love with some new sounds like Future Rock. 
Top Track: "Que Veux-Tu" - Yelle 

3. Epic Workout Playlist

Some days are good, some days are TERRIBLE, while other days you are on FIRE!! If you are hitting a wall and you just cannot seem to get through that wall, press play to this bad boy. Epic Workout Playlist is AMAZING and it will not only put you in a good mood but you will have that fuel you need to get in your workout and KILL IT! Power through whatever you have going on with this playlist.
Top track: "Countdown" by Beyoncé << my imaginary best friend! hahah

4. Indie Rock and Run

This is not a station you see everyday, but for you runners out there who love to get your ROCK on, you better CLICK follow! These hard-hitting anthems will keep you feeling like a rock star for your whole run, and who doesn't like to be a rockstar!
Top track: "Tightrope" — Walk the Moon

5. Cardio: Hip-Hop

Classic tracks and brand new hits that will bring the beats of hip hop into your daily workout. It's a perfect pick when you need an extra boost of energy or enthusiasm and you want to get your groove on.... can you tell I like to throw dance parties?
Top track: "Vivrant Thing" by Q-Tip

6. Run 5 miles in 50 minutes

If a 10-minute mile is your speed, here's a playlist custom-made for your workout routine —run five miles in 50 minutes. Each tune is 150 BPM, the perfect tempo to keep your pace.
Top track: "Shake It" — Metro Station

7. Running High tempo > 140 BPM

When running music is your fuel, a bad playlist can ruin everything if you aren't careful! Coming from someone who DREADS running, a playlist can make or break my run. If you are an experience runner that wants to make sure her music is as fast as she is, check out these >140BPM songs, you will love them!
Top track: "All the small things" Blink 182

8. Country Cardio

Whether you want some hot cowboy music (save a horse ride a cowboy RIGHT!?) or sassy tunes from independent ladies (some Carrie Underwood legs are my DREAM!), this is a rocking' country playlist and will have everything you need!
Top Track: "Play Something Country" - Brooks and Dun

9. Coachella 2013 Workout Mix

Holy hell this is one of my FAVORITE playlists of the bunch.... If you went to Coachella I am sure you will appreciate this one, and if you didn't go you will wish you were there live! Rock on and sweat on <3
Top Track: "The Stars" - Moby

10. Strength Training Playlist

Plug into this strength training playlist to keep you MOTIVATED and moving at a consistent pace while doing some hard moves. Each song is 90 to 100 BPM, the perfect speed to help you achieve controlled reps and not rush through your workout. It is important to focus on slow controlled movements when doing your strength training, this playlist is where it is at!
Top track: "California Soul" — Marlena Shaw

oh and what the hell here is an EXTRA!

Wake up and Yoga <3 -- appropriate since I am on a 30 day yoga challenge!! 

Cool, calm and collected -- these are the thoughts that I start my morning off with when I meditate and stretch out my body and mind. This playlist will help you find your center and ensure your practice is filled with love and light! Try it on for size <3

The beauty of music is it can transform you emotionally, it can fuel you to kick ass in a kick boxing class, lift a little heavier, or relax and meditate, the choice is YOURS! Try any and all of these playlists OR make your own and share with the WORLD! Comment below your favorite playlists!

Much love, peace, and wisdom.
