IS THE SCALE YOUR FRIEND??? Contrary to popular belief, weighing in DAILY will help you reach your weight loss goal much sooner than doing it once a month or not doing it at all. I used to believe that the scale didn’t matter it was only how my clothes fit… But then I realized the power of the mind and how weighing in daily truly reaches an entirely new subconscious level that made me think twice about what I put in my mouth. Those that are afraid of the scale have a mental block ~ they’re terrified of what number will be on the scale; so in turn they eat more calories than they should and gain unwanted weight… and before long instead of reaching for your skinny jeans you realize that your fat jeans are much too tight for comfort. Studies have shown that using the scale daily will indeed help you lose weight faster! Trust me weighing in daily will change you from having a scared, fat conscious mentality to a "bring it on" weight loss men...

Quotes of the Day: to Uplift Your Spirit I don't know about you, but I love to read positive quotes regularly. The energy of thoughts and words are powerful. You may have heard the saying, "You are what you think about", it has truth to it. Think about your body image and then take a look in the mirror -- do you see the resemblance?  Everything in your life is a mirror of you core beliefs. So, if you want to improve your life, then you must first improve your thoughts... A good way to do that is to read uplifting quotes often. Below are a few quotes I am inspired by, I hope they inspire you as well. :) Inspirational Quotes "The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results."  ~ Anthony Robbins

Do YOU Really Want to be Fit? I'm constantly asked how to get in shape... It's always a mental decision to begin any lifestyle change.  I decided to be fit because I wanted to be a strong mother for my children and a healthy wife for my husband.  I wanted to be free of frustrations and guilt of not fitting my clothes well.  I wanted to have more energy & feel empowered every single day.  And most of all, I wanted to believe in me!  So I made the choice to get in shape.  I decided that eating healthy food tastes a whole lot better than eating high fat foods that only made me feel worse in the morning.  After all, nothings more frustrating than working out hard in the gym only to sabatage my efforts by eating poorly - I've done it a million times and trust me it's not worth it! It's Up to YOU Decide today to take control of your health & fitness.  Believe in YOU!  Believe that you can achieve your goals!  Believe that...

START YOUR DAY OFF RIGHT by Jumpstarting Your Metaoblism Eating breakfast is more than important for so many reasons. You'll not only feel better after a 8 hour fast but you'll also give your muscles the needed energy to develop, burn fat and supply your brain with the needed nutrients for clear mental health. Studies have shown that starting your day off without breakfast can lead to over eating later in the day. The best way to start your day is with an all natural breakfast consisting of protein and a complex carbohydrate. My favorite meal of the day is my breakfast for many reasons. It not only tastes delicious but it’s my fuel to get me through my busy day. Carol’s Favorite Oatmeal Breakfast 1/8 cup steal cut oats 1/8 cup whole oats Small handful of whole wheat ½ cup water Bring to a boil then put on medium heat and ad ½ cup Vanilla Almond Milk Mix in 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder 1 tsp cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg Stir and enjoy! Oatmeal has many health benefits, no...

CREATE THE BODY OF YOUR DREAMS "The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results."  ~Anthony Robbins   "Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body." ~Norman Vincent "Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy." ~Izaak Walton YOUR EMOTIONS ARE POWERFUL! Your body and world around you reflects your true feelings. If you are unhappy with who you are your body will reflect that in many ways. Your way of living also is a dead give-a-way to your habitual feelings and emotions. Do you have a cluttered home or an organized clean home? How you live is a reflection of your subconscious thoughts and feelings. Look within your...

DIET TIPS FOR  CLEAN EATING It's hard to believe that summer is almost here. I love this time of year and I love everything about summer, the warmth of the sun, the sound of children playing outside and of course the many family and friend get-togethers ~ I seriously love it all! With summertime comes fun, delicious BBQ’s which can mean unwanted weight gain as well… Here is a plan for diet success with tips on how to maintain a swimsuit ready physique while enjoying all of the wonderful backyard parties…

GET RIPPED BEFORE SUMMER! * TIP OF THE DAY * Diet is 85% of Fitness Success How many people do you know that go to the gym everyday but never change? It’s because their diet does not support their fitness goals. I can’t stress enough about the importance of proper nutrition. It’s imperative to eat small clean wholesome meals every 3 to 4 hours. Eating the right fuel is 85% of the equation. You can do sit-ups and push ups all day long but you won’t be able to uncover those sexy abs until you burn the fat that’s covering them, and that comes from proper nutrition along with regular daily exercise. If you want to be ripped before summer then commit today to working out at least 5 days a week - no excuses.  Then eat clean whole foods -  that means stay away from canned, boxed or processed foods of any kind.  Be sure to drink plenty of water, at least 60 to 80 oz and eat protein with every meal & snack.  And have your last meal of the day by 7 pm - af...

A LETTER TO MY FRIEND THE GIFT OF GRATITUDE The other day my dear friend emailed me asking for advice, she was feeling a bit low and was in need of a little TLC on how to get out of the emotional rut she was in... I gladly shared with her how to shift from a sad mood to a happy, joyful state of being. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, depressed or feel any negative emotion for that matter life can seem more difficult and frustrating. You’ll have less energy and you’ll be more fatigued than usual. By choosing to live in an Attitude of Gratitude you can literally shift your energy level from being pessimistic to optimistic. Doing so you will shift your energy frequency to a higher empowering level which in turn you’ll feel better and have tons more energy to get you through your busy day. You’ll also eat healthier, you’ll have the desire to exercise more and you’ll be much more fun to be around.

TIP OF THE DAY... GRATITUDE! Each morning start your day with the attitude of gratitude. Give thanks for everything in your life including your miraculous body that you have been blessed with. I'm sure you've heard the saying having 'an attitude of gratitude' - it’s a powerful way of being. Give thanks for your beautiful body and how wonderful it is. By doing so you will feel happier, you'll attract fabulous people & experiences into your life and you’ll lose weight faster too. And you'll soon discover how much more you have to be grateful for!

A HARD BODY AT ANY AGE! As a Lifestyle Fitness coach I focus on balancing the body, mind and spirit to create a powerful, positive mind-set; by doing so goals can become a reality with a well-designed fitness and LivFit meal plan. I believe to achieve ultimate health you have to begin by loving who you are right now! By focusing on and learning how to have a positive mind-set every dream can come true. I ask my clients to take time to sit down and write out what they really want. I ask them why they want to lose weight. What are reasons for change? Whatever it is I have them write it down and create a powerful vision. Then I ask them to focus on it daily. To curb emotional eating I teach how to focus on pampering oneself by indulging in what you love to do; such as reading a good book, taking a walk, calling a close friend, going shopping or getting a manicure. I also coach how to be prepared emotionally by having a mental game plan for when those emotional urges arise for cravings...

HOW TO SCULPT A SIX PACK   SIX PACK ABS I'm often asked is how to achieve a six pack.  It's a lofty goal for some but very achievable with hard work, endurance along with clean eating. You can have a tight, sexy mid-section by following my Six Pack Ab program. By committing to it you will have a killer washboard stomach within 90 days (if you don't have a lot of weight to lose and if you do it will just take you a bit longer). It's not easy but it's well worth your time and energy to work towards such a lofty goal. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?   First you need to look at your family's genetics. What is your physique like now? How about your family, what are your parents and siblings figures like? Do they carry most of their weight in their abdominal area or the bottom half? If you carry your weight mainly around the middle then it will take you a bit longer to see your awesome six pack than those that carry their w...

I'm all about living life to the fullest which includes, living a happy & abundant lifestyle. I'm also a big fan of supplements; I know how healing they are for the body. I recovered from Rheumatic Fever when I was as child because of supplements. MY HERO My dear Mother is my ultimate hero for so many reasons, one of which she literally saved my health by teaching me the power of supplements. I took Penicillin to protect my heart for 6 years in my youth; it ultimately destroyed my immune system which brought on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. From that experience I learned how to take control of my health and wellness by eating whole foods, supplementing my diet and exercising daily. Had I not been ill in my youth I would not be the fitness guru ...
