Turn your Resolution into RESULTS

Is it the no monthly contract  at the local gym?

Or maybe the 7-10 pounds you’ve packed on between Halloween & Christmas?!

Or…. perhaps the ever popular “this is my year” attitude??

I’m sure there are tons of reasons why…. but a recent study shows the TOP 3 New Year’s Resolution in America are:

*EXERCISE MORE*

*LOSE WEIGHT*

*Improve DIET*

With obesity rates rising  and heart disease being the number one cause of death in America, its AMAZING so many people want to focus on their health. 

Yet, only 8% of American’s are actually successful in achieving their resolutions!

Why?

They don’t have a system of tools and support!

They’re afraid of change – they fear failure – they don’t know HOW to get started - they don’t have a support system - Etc, etc, etc!  I get it…. change, failure and not knowing how to get started, and lack of support are all scary.

But here’s the deal… if you make a few temporary changes the results will also be…. you guessed it…  temporary. You won’t truly achieve what you’re setting out to do unless you make a CHANGE!

A change in the way you think – act- believe and yes – a change in your LIFESTYLE!

So – what’s the deal?

First off  – it's much easier said than done! (Come on…. you’ve probably had a health and fitness resolution since Y2K)

Making a lifestyle change – a HEALTHY lifestyle change isn’t always easy.

Some people will doubt you or maybe your doubting yourself, others may not support you when support is all you need, and then there are those who have nothing nice to say, but don't know how to keep their mouth shut. You’re afraid you don’t have the time or the money – But these are all just excuses – if you have a plan – you can overcome every single excuse – and then some!

AND I CAN HELP YOU!

Committing to a healthy eating and a consistent exercise routine is HARD. But so is living in a body you’re unhappy with.

CHOOSE YOUR HARD.

Then take action.

I’ve started and stopped my fair share of “changes” but nearly 3 years ago I made one change which has forever changed my life.

I made my health my number one priority!

I had been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance and had lost 15 lbs of muscle. After taking a year to figure out food, I worked with a trainer and feel in love with fitness.  I took my new found love for fitness, along with my passion for food (yup, I'm foodie) and started running online accountability groups filled with other women who had similar struggles as I did – similar fears – and similar goals – TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE!

I bought P90X3 - I pushed play – in my home – for 30 minutes a day. I worked just as hard at home if not harder, than I did with my trainer. I was not only supporting the women in my groups, they were supporting ME! We were in this TOGETHER! Checking into the group daily for accountability ~ I was sharing advice and they were implementing it ~  I was sharing my struggles as were they ~ I provided the meal plans and recipes and low and behold ~ WE GOT RESULTS!

So I ask you all to take this as a personal INVITATION to make this your year.

Your time to shine and your time to FOLLOW THROUGH with your commitment – your commitment to BE HEALTHIER! TO BE THE BEST YOU!

I’m kicking off my Turn your Resolution into RESULTS Support and Accountability Group

January 4th and I am looking for 10 people to join me!

You will receive:

1:1 coaching,

ongoing accountability,

tips,

meal planning,

recipes,

Merry Christmas to ME!!

Do you buy yourself a Christmas present?

Every year for I don't know how long, I've been buying myself a Christmas present. It might be a series of yoga classes, reiki training, highlights and a new do, the list goes on and on, but I treat myself to something I REALLY WANT!

Well last week the Masters Hammer & Chisel was released and 72 hours later I had bought my Christmas present! Merry Christmas to me! As you may or may not know us I have a gluten intolerance, which resulted me to losing 15 lbs of muscle before I knew what was wrong with me. The road to gain my muscle back has been long and hard! I've gained and lost along the way, as well as plateaued, which is why I'm so excited Hammer & Chisel was at my door yesterday!

My struggle to gain weight is finally over as I now have a system which is going to push me harder then my awesome ass-kicking trainer did. I've got a meal plan system telling me exactly how much protein, veggies, fruit, carbs, and healthy fats I need each day to achieve my goals. I've got a system which is able to grow with me as I get stronger. I've got an amazing support and accountability system, which will push me on the days when I don't want to workout.

So have you been struggling to tone up or gain weight?
Then I invite you to join me on my journey to get chiseled in 2016.

Fill out the form if you're interested and I'll give you all the info. 

There is strength in numbers. Make 2016, your sweet 16!

Keep Smiling,
Michelle :-)
