End of 2024 - That's A Wrap

-

 Hello Fit Fam,



As we come to a close of the 2024 year, I am looking back in absolute awe at what has happened to myself, my family, and my world!

From big career changes to our house trying to fall apart to losing my way with fitness; I am looking to get back to consistency and keep moving forward! I always pick two words to focus on going into the new year. They are driving factors for how I want my year to be. Motivation to keep me focused and centered around my goals. This year I have decided to pick:

1) Consistent

2) Progress

With all the mentioned changes in my life, I am looking to get back to being consistent. Consistent in all aspects of my life: fitness, nutrition, sleep, work-life balance, family time, online personal training, mindfulness, housework, and me! I have an amazing journal called Commit30. It breaks down easy ways to track workouts, nutrition, and other daily, weekly, and monthly habits. I have used it before inconsistently but this year I plan to use it consistently. I am so good at getting hyped and making big plans and then I often find myself easily distracted so I derail from my plans and don't stay consistent. I know this about myself and plan to get back to consistency!

I have seen myself go forward and backward all of 2024. I feel like I hit my stride and then all of a sudden I am moving backwards. I have bounced between multiple jobs and lost sight of where my career was going. I have lost fitness gains from a lack of commitment to my workout plans. I have forgotten the basics of healthy eating because stress and anxiety have caused me to eat poorly out of comfort. I am not far off from my goals of where I want to be but I want, no need to see progress forward this year!

I know that my life is amazing and I do not have a lot to complain about. I am overall healthy, I have an amazing husband, daughter, dog, extended family, house, job, car, hobbies, friends, and so many other things to be thankful for. I don't ever want to sound like I am not grateful for what I have. I just know that I am capable of so much more and want to share my joy and excitement, along with my knowledge of fitness with others. So in 2025, my goal is to help someone(s). That can literally be 1 person or it can be 20. I am going to get back to posting content regularly and looking to sign up a few more written program clients. So if you are like me a working parent who just needs a little guidance, motivation, or someone to hold you accountable, I am here to help!

Here is to staying consistent and seeing progress in 2025! I got this, you got this, we got this!!!

Keep Calm and Exercise On,

~ Liz ~

 Hello Fit Fam,     It's me! Liz! I am here to showcase my business...NewLizFitness! I am diving into this venture head first with the hopes to bring fitness to anyone that needs it! I want to help you Find Your Fit!       I have revamped my website ( www.newlizfitness.com ). I am staying current in my research and obtaining new certifications so that my knowledge and expertise are top-notch. And I am creating resources to ensure if you put in the work then the results will come!     I have always had a passion for exercise but I never thought this could ultimately become a career path! I have worked in many settings all focused on fitness, health, and wellness; but it wasn't until I was granted the chance to stay at home with my daughter that I realized I wanted to start my own personal training business for me. I love helping people get fit (keep in mind fit can mean a lot of different things to different people). I wanted the chance to do ...

Refocus on 2023 Goals

 Hello Fit Fam, This week I have been reflecting on my 2023 goal words, which in case you didn't know we are at the end of September and the year is quickly coming to an end with only 3 months left! AHHHH! I realized that my two words for 2023 hold even more significance now than when I started this year. In January I picked two words: Embrace and Patience, to define my year and they feel so meaningful now that I feel like I failed a little bit. I believe I have made progress but I know I can be doing so much more.  I am still a great mom and wife. I love my new job and feel like I am really getting into my groove. I am starting to get some consistency in my workouts and fitness progress. I even feel like my personal training business has started to pick up a little more. I know I am on the right path I just have to be MORE patient with myself and the process. I also have to embrace where I currently am in life. I know not everything will happen overnight but I will stay the c...

Work, Motherhood, & Life

 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 som...
