Transformation Challenges- Orangetheory Fitness and DietBet- Halfway!

 Today is my 7th year blogging! Yay for consistency. Consistency is the key for any type of transformation in life. If you have a goal, you must be consistent in your efforts towards that goal. This year, my health has been a priority and I needed to work on my consistency,  so I joined a new gym and a dietbet. I signed up for transformation challenges that focus on showing up consistently because if you don't,  then you won't achieve.

I am halfway through the Orangetheory 8 week challenge and feel amazing- I been taking 5 classes a week, eating right and putting in 100%. I hope i lose a good amount of body fat and whether I come in 1st place or not, I'm still winning because I'm stronger, healthier,  and learned that if I truly want something,  I am capable.  This gym challenges me on a daily basis which is something I need as a stay at home Mom... I used to have work goals to reach and have always been an achiever in college, sports, work... but when your life is focused on being a Mom, you come last and your own goals sort of dissappear. Going to Orangetheory gives me an hour to push myself,  challenge my mind and body and feel proud of what I accomplished.

Dietbet has been fun too because I been meeting my monthly weigh in goals and as a result,  I win money! Can't beat that! 

I have lost 16 lbs so far over 6 weeks... I am on my way to another 10 soon. 

Life is short so you have to do what makes you happy. 

I am happy I get to blog about my life experiences and challenge myself to grow as a person. 

Cheers to health and 7 years of blogging!

Time is precious and in order to accomplish all you need to do, you need to prioritize. Chapter 2 is all about priorities! Think about this, "When you say everything is a high priority, then nothing is a high priority." So what is a Priority? Become proactive by recognizing these Priorities Principles: Working smarter has a higher return than working harder: Find better ways to work ad make the most of moments you have.  Dan Kennedy says, "Disciplined use of time everybody else wastes can give you the edge." You can't have it all If you want to be successful as a person and s a leader, you must make choices! You must prioritize! You cannot have it all. No one can. The good is always the enemy of the best When faced with two good choices, what should you choose? Remember that the good must sometimes be sacrificed for the best. Proactive beats Reactive Every person is either an initiator or a reactor when it comes to planning You can cho

The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins- an anxiety and panic attack sufferer turned author... 2nd author review for Women's History Month

Mel Robbins, another talented female author, used to suffer from anxiety and had panic attacks on a regular basis. Her solution in the book 5 Second Rule is to reframe your thinking and tell yourself that you are excited instead. I wanted to highlight her book because she is a Life Coach like me and she suffered from mental illness and has been successful... hopefully I will be successful like her. It is encouraging to see many people with mental struggles doing their thing in this world and influencing so many other people. Anyway, let me back up. What is the 5 Second Rule? The 5 second rule is simple yet powerful. The next time you get an impulse to make a positive change, count down from 5-4-3-2-1- and start taking action. The trick is to count down because this does something special in your brain to stop you from procrastinating. (By the way, I took this summary and tried to use my owns words from Flashreads). The book has a few big ideas: Act within 5 seconds of getting an i
