 Confidence and Persistence



Do you ever find yourself doubting your abilities and thinking you are not good enough, well I most certainly do. I know that we all struggle with some internal self-confidence issues. Whether you can admit it or not, self-doubt is just human nature. I personally know that I am capable of many things but often doubt myself to the point of not believing I can do them. 

I have talked myself out of things that I know I am capable of but instead let that little voice in the back of my head so "No, you can't." I don't want to doubt myself but sometimes that voice is strong and loud and it is hard not to listen. 

So this year I am focusing on two words to guide me: Confidence and Persistence. I did this last year and gave myself two words to focus on (Embrace and Patience) which related to where I was in my life and how I wanted to live my life. I felt like picking two words allowed me to have a meaning behind everything I was doing. Which is why I am doing it again for 2024!

Confidence is something I am working on. I want to be more confident in my goals, my abilities, my knowledge, my life! I will be working to do the research behind why or what I am doing so that as I move forward in situations I will not have room for doubts. That voice in the back of my head seems to always come forward and create self-doubt. I accept that failure is a part of life and I will not let that voice scare me out of my accomplishments. 

Persistence goes hand in hand with confidence. I have decided to commit to my goals and what I want to accomplish this year. I will set goals for myself and not back down from achieving them! Persistence to me means always moving forward and giving it my all no matter what happens. I am ready to do what it takes to make my goals a reality and find success. 

These two words mean I will be true, honest, and committed. I am ready for what 2024 has to bring. I want to see my potential and not back down when life gets a little...or a lot hard! I am ready for it all!

Happy 2024! Bring on the progress, growth, and happiness!


Keep Calm and Exercise On

 Hello Fit Fam,       Well, it has been a minute! And I mean a hot minute. I started trying to build up online content last year while I was a stay-at-home mom and thought that I was going to be able to build up my blog, my online training clientele, and my overall online presence. Boy was I wrong! I found a full-time job, stopped pursuing my personal training dream, and let "excuses" of my new job and day-to-day life distract me! Well, I am turning a new leaf and getting back to why I started this blog. Honestly, I started it mostly for me. For me to be able to write out my thoughts as a fitness professional who is living this thing we call life. Trying to set healthy goals and behaviors for myself, my friends, my family, my clients, and especially my daughter. The world is often filled with junk or people who are out there trying to sell you crap. Although I now work in a sales role I don't want to just sell something to a client or customer, I want to give you somethin

Hydration is Key

 Hello Fit Fam,       When you think about hydration what comes to mind? Do you even know what good hydration looks and feels like? Do you understand the importance of hydration in your day-to-day activities?     These are some basic questions I like to ask my personal training clients when they are setting their fitness goals. Doesn't matter if you are looking to become more active or training for a high-intensity competitive event. Average Joes to Elite Athletes have to think about hydration every single day. Even on your rest days, you need to be thinking about HYDRATION!     So let's start with the basics, what is hydration? Hydration is the replacement of body fluids lost through sweating, exhaling, and eliminating waste. But there is more to hydration than just the water you consume through fluids and foods.  There are these lovely things called electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals that dissolve in fluid and are required for things like proper nerve function, acid-base

A Year Ago...

 Hello Fit Fam,      Let's talk about reflecting. I was just reminded that one year ago I completed one of the greatest feats of my physical fitness career. I raced in my very first half ironman or 70.3-mile triathlon. This event is comprised of a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride, and a 13.1-mile run. I had signed up for this race multiple times (3 to be exact) and for a bunch of life reasons had to cancel it twice. But lucky number 3 stuck and I did the dang thing! I was committed, and motivated, and needed to do this for myself.      What shocks me the most about the training process for this race, was every person I ever talked to who does these endurance-type races (running, cycling triathlons, etc) they all do it socially and with a training team. I on the other hand have always been a solo type of training gal. I enjoy being by myself, on my own. I don't like to rely on others for pacing or meets up. Don't get me wrong I love working out with others and I am a peopl
