"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Happy "Thankful Thursday"! Will Power is something that comes from within us. Will Power is definitely something we can control when it comes to our eating habits as well as our dedication and motivation to fitness. As with everything in life, the key is moderation, especially when it comes to food intake. Having the Will Power to pass up that cupcake your co-worker brought to work or that Sunday Night pizza you ordered for the kids plays a KEY role in weight management and overall health. Will Power also plays a KEY role in NOT hitting the snooze button on the alarm in the morning and getting out of bed to get that morning workout in. I challenge you to record ALL your food intake and to log your physical activity for a week. You will be surprised at your accomplishments!

"Discipline is the bridge between Goals & Accomplishments" ~ Jim Rohn

Happy "Thankful Thursday"! Goals are something we set out to reach on a daily, weekly, monthly and annually basis. Many times we find ourselves distracted from the end goal, only reaching half way or if none of our goal. DISCIPLINE is the bridge that connects the goals we set out to reach and turns them into accomplishments. In fitness and health, many of us decide to go on a new diet plan, workout plan, vow to omit "guilty pleasure" and the list goes on. Let's face it, life and desires get in the way. Having discipline can aid in reaching the accomplishments you want. At the end of the day having the discipline to implement a new habit with become rewarding. It is said it takes 21-30 days to adopt a new habit. So remember to stay focused, have discipline and once you reach your goals, it will all be worth it!

Happy "Thankful Thursday"! Today I am Thankful for the ability to BELIEVE that anything is possible! My philosophy in life is "If you Believe in it, you can Achieve it'! Believing in something applies to all aspects of life whether it be health, fitness, career, relationships, dreams or desires. Five years ago I believed I could start my own business, I did it. Recently, since fitness and health are a way of life for me, I believed I could start a blog to share my experiences, knowledge and passion with the ability to captivate an audience, I have. Thank you for reading!! Remember if you dream of it, believe in it and you can do it!

Happy "Thankful Thursday"! Today I want to share how Thankful I am to have HEALTHY ADDICTIONS like eating healthy, working out and enjoying life! Living an active and healthy life is very important to me so naturally I am addicted to anything fitness or health related. The gym is my drug of choice while fueling my body with foods high nutrients and protein is key to maintaining my very active lifestyle. Addiction is naturally view by society as a negative thing, however, if your addiction is living a healthy well balanced life through exercise and healthy eating, then I believe this is a GOOD thing. Regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, helps prevent heart and cardiovascular disease, reduces depression and stress, gives you energy, helps with self-esteem and maintaining healthy relationships. Life is full of choices so make the right choice! XO

Happy "Thankful Thursday"! For today's Thankful Thursday I would like to express how Thankful I am to have PASSION for fitness, health, my business and my relationships (friends, family, colleagues). Without passion we lack determination and strive. Passion is what fuels us to succeed and is also what keeps us going. Having passion helps in our overall health and happiness in life. If you love what you do and why you do it, there is no better feeling in the world. I wake up every morning excited to enjoy my first cup of coffee before I get my fitness routine in, followed by happiness and fulfillment in my passion for my career choice. Plus, how can I forget my PASSION in writing this blog for you all! XO

Last week I decided to launch "THANKFUL THURSDAYS"! Not only do I LOVE fitness but I also love to INSPIRE! So for today's "THANKFUL THURSDAY" post I would like to share how thankful I am to have a healthy mind! With a healthy mind I can think clearly, make positive decisions in my daily life and most importantly, I have the ability to achieve anything I put my mind to. One of my favorite quotes is "Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE, the word itself says 'I'm POSSIBLE'!" ~ Audrey Hepburn.

In life, anything is possible, all you have to do is believe then achieve. In the world of health and fitness, you CAN achieve your Get Fit goals! The first step is believing.
