Happy New Year Beautiful People!!!

I hope you brought the new year in with a new, positive and joyful mindset.

I don’t know about you but I am EXCITED about what the future holds. Excited because I know I am responsible for attaining my goals. I am capable of achieving them. 2018 showed me grit, it brought out strengths in me I didn’t know I had. I ended the year on such a high note with my family. I got so much family time in, much needed movie nights, date nights, laughing and not stressing about the time. I think I watched a movie with my 8 yr old at least 6 days out of his 2 week vacation. Thats huge for me especially with being a entrepreneur and wellness coach, I thank the Creator because had it not been for me pursuing my dream to work from home and make my own schedule I don’t know if I would have been able to do all the things we did as a family. I made the time for what my priorities were during this holiday break. Oh and I still made time for my fitness and maintaining a healthy guilt-free balance with my nutrition.

I have to say though I’m so happy they’re back in school. If you’re a teacher THANK YOU!!!! I mean it. Thank you for all that you do. I hope some kind parent gifted you a massage or spa day.

What are some of your priorities? I want to know. Is health and wellness, weight loss or living a stress-free lifestyle still on that list? On a scale of 1-10 where is it on that list and how can I help you gift yourself at least 20 minutes to dedicated more time for you?

Remember, the road to getting healthy and fit is a journey. It won’t always be easy. There will come a day when you lack the motivation to hit the play button. If that feeling persists, you might be experiencing burnout.

Don’t worry—it doesn’t have to last forever. I’m here to help!

Happy Friday Beautiful People

One of my super powers is that I don’t look at things like what I’ve been through. What’s your super power?

POWER UP Reminder: you don’t have to live in the hurt and pain you been through even if you’re still going through it. Grow through it. Choose again. That is NOT your final chapter. KEEP WRITING. 

I’ve had people count me out.
Say awful things about me.
Try to shame me.
I’ve been the underdog.
I’ve allowed myself to be in relationships that didn’t serve me.
Found myself in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship.
There were times I’d look back and questioned how I’ve continued to SHOW UP.
I’ve had my heart broken not only by people but by circumstances.
My valleys have been so low that I wondered why am I here. Like what is the purpose. BUT GOD!
I’ve been depressed. Suffered from anxiety. Until I said I no longer claim that over my life.
Like byeee heauxxx

Instead of asking why I began saying thank you. When I wake up. Expressing gratitude in the small things, in the darkness, in the weak moments, in my strongest defeats. Thank you. You chose this for me because you already knew how I’d get out of it. The fact that I’m standing here flexing is without a doubt, an answered prayer.

Don’t wait until 2019 to...
Show up for yourself
Find love
Start that business
Start that blog
Start on your health and fitness goals
Work on your credit
Open that savings account
Move...start packing to let the universe know you’re ready
Invest in your wellbeing
Rid yourself of toxic people
Break old habits that don’t serve you
Do things that will catapult your business
Make time for exercise
Eat healthier
Tell someone how you feel
Look into furthering your education
Let go
Forgive
Start that passion project
Turn loose shady people
Level up
Say yes more to LIVE and no to doubt

Keep Evolving Friends.

We’ve got work to do! If you’re looking for a cute workout. You’ve come to the wrong page! 

Looking for something simple to get a little sweat in and not looking for a mental and physical transformation, than keep on scrolling. 

To be honest this workout has kicked my (dang I can’t curse) every single day for the passed 5+ weeks. 

Its November and that means I can totally spill the beans about being in an Exclusive Pilot Test Group and the details of what you want to know about this cardio step beast of a workout program. 

3 chapters of this workout 

1. Commit 

2. Climb 

3. Conquer 

Its 6 days a week of cardio, endurance, fat burning, high intensity awesomeness. Monday thru Saturday. On Mondays you start of with BURN, by ridding yourself of maybe mistakes you’ve made during the weekend. Then by Tuesday you begin going FASTER, gaining momentum. Mid week you level up by getting STRONGER, you’ve now made it more than 1/2 way through the week so you are definitely becoming more POWERFUL, than you shred or CUT so you can find BALANCE(D). By the end of the week, we go into a recalibrating mode, not only to do it all over again because ALL THE WORKOUTS are different but to increase your progress. Its YOU vs YOU.

It’s GENIUS. Like mad scientist GENIUS. I’ve never done a program EVER like this before.

I’m in my head the entire time in a good way! You have to focus and constantly take your thoughts into the next level of determination. I never once said I can’t wait for this to be over. I’ll be the first to admit sometimes when it gets too hard first thought is to want to quit. In this you want to give it your all. And than it’s done. It’s only 20 mins. 

Everyday it’s excitement all over again to crush your goals. It doesn’t stop there. Each day there are three moves called TRANSFORMERS and each week you have to beat or increase your numbers from the previous week. First week not gonna lie didn’t even see it coming! But you better believe you want to bring your best you each time because you learn right away this is no walk in the park. 

Nutrition plan the most simplest one ever! Easy to follow. Simple recipes. And you’re given options so you can follow 2B Mindset while doing this program which is great because it gives you a sense of flexibility using the nutritional guide. 

My Honest Experience thus far (weeks 1-5) 

So Day 1 I was pumped, excited, happy, nervous, I’m in this secret exclusive pilot test, it’s so amazing and than I bombed the workout. Didn’t love it well because it was like with no warning the gun goes off and than the race is over...had to get use to that. 

I felt like I got caught with my pants down like all while I’m being told to keep up like whaaaa? But each day is brand new! Thats the magic and the following week you get a chance to push through a little harder, go a bit faster, find more balance and get stronger all while going through the motions. 

Click here to read my thoughts on when I first found out I was going to be part of the this Exclusive Pilot Test Group.

Let’s talk about what it means to Commit, to Climb and to Conquer below.

FIRST 2 WEEKS WE COMMIT.

Ask yourself, “How bad do you want this?”

WEEKS 3-4 WE CLIMB.

This is where you’re going to have to take it up a notch. Now you’re already committed to yourself, you’re going to find the power within to climb whatever hurdle you’re found yourself in before. No more, cause we’re climbing!

WEEKS 5-6 WE CONQUER.

Get to a level where you’ve committed, you have now already climbed, now you conquer. You conquer your mind, your goals whether its on and off the scale. You learn you are more than capable to conquer anything in 20minutes.

Are you EXCITED yet? Cause this is going to change your life on so many levels.

Happy Tuesday Lovers this past Sunday, I took one of the biggest steps in my adult life. I told myself I could NOT go into 2019 and not declare and dedicate my life to God and got baptized.
If you’ve been following. You know that I’ve been on my wellness journey and while navigating through my own and finding what works has had me tapping into parts of me I’ve buried, I’ve neglected, I’ve sabotaged, I’ve loved, I’ve sacrificed, I’ve nurtured and preserved. In doing all this work it’s allowed me to mentor and coach others on their health and wellness journey. Their journey to find wholeness, to tap into happiness, joy and unleash their confidence & will to go on & conquer each day.

I’ve been blessed in so many ways throughout my life. In the last two years alone. So many testimonies that honestly when I had to reflect to find one I couldn’t choose. For about a year I came to begin documenting my testimonies because when going through an obstacle it is so easy to forget all of the things God has been doing in my life. All the times that my life was literally spared or saved. That’s Gods grace and mercy. I could not choose one but I do know the one that needed to be heard was shared.

For weeks now I was thinking OMGoodness do I speak about the time when... or this/that time there has been so many times that I’ve made it OUT of some stuff and look back in amazement because I don’t know HOW...GOD. So many opportunities where I found myself in a room with big wigs and feeling like I don’t “qualify” and here I show up...GOD. That time when I went to give my resignation and was asked to rethink it over / stay a few more months to train, and walk away with my bonus, my sanity and on a high note...GOD. Or the time... I can’t yet. Not yet.

But what I can share is that every time I asked for guidance, clarity, a sign or for help. I got just that. I’ve had doors literally left open for me when others needed a key. In the wee hours I’ve heard answers that were deafening that I couldn’t deny it. Could not be mistaken for my thoughts, my voice and sometimes not my choice. There are many stories that follow each and every testimony but that’s for another day, another blog share.

But I do want to leave you with this..

Power UP Reminder:

1. there are treasures inside of all us. Each of us are perfectly flawed and still beautiful, still worthy, still stronger than anything we’ve ever been or are going through. We all grow on our time and it’s okay not to feel ready, not to feel like we’ve got it all together. It’s okay to not feel good enough, it’s just not okay to stay there too long. Feel all the feels and the emotions go on the ride and get off. Your home is not where the hurt is.

2. do ALL the things that make YOU proud of YOU. Even when you feel like things aren’t working in way or the timing in which it should be, keep pressing on. There’s the rain, than comes the rainbow and the treasure is at the end of each and every rainbow.  

I pray that we all remember this.

xo,

Cathy
