Have you ever felt like you don't recognize yourself anymore, like you have lost the body and perhaps the person you use to be.  After sometimes a "break" in looking after yourself whether it be 1 month, 1 year or decades there always comes a point where people look at themselves in the mirror as ask "what happened!"  

Perhaps it was making your career first, perhaps it was taking the time to have kids, perhaps your job requires a lot of travel or, or, or.  The list could go on and on.  Today we share 7-8 ways to help you reclaim your body and all you need to do is start with ONE, then add a second and so forth.  It didn't take you 4-6 weeks to lose yourself, it will take time, patience and consistency to get it back so be kind to yourself as you start to change habits and claim back who you want to be on the inside and outside.

Its so easy to get caught up in the doing.  Doing work, doing school, doing kids activities, doing life that we forget to pause and be still for a moment to be grateful for the job, the kids, the relationships etc.

It won't be easy at first to just be still for a moment or two, but overtime, like everything else, it will become easier.  Find a time of day that you can be consistent with to just sit, be still and be grateful for your life.

What are ways you take time to be grateful?  We would love to know!  You never know who may love your idea and do it for themselves, so leave a comment on how you are grateful.

There are lots of reasons/excuses why people quit on their fitness.  Today we are chatting about 9 possible reasons/excuses why people quit on themselves and don't get resourceful.

We all fall victim to excuses, we are no exception, but recognizing that it is an excuse, figuring out why you are making that excuse and figuring out how to overcome it is what's important.

If missed any reasons, or perhaps a reason or excuse you have used leave us a comment on how you overcame it - you never know who you might help or inspire.

This episode is a bit of a spin off from last week when we touched on the topic of how our emotions can hold us back from moving forward.  Normally this emotion is fear, but what we as humans do is add meaning to our feelings or emotions which can be tied back to a past experience and so your mind is simply responding in accordance with your learn reaction.

This can also be referred to as our perceptions or how we see the world.

When we have a thought or feeling, we start to believe it, good or bad, proving the point that we are 100% who we believe and feel ourselves to be.  When you realize you ARE NOT your thoughts, feelings and emotions, you are able to open up space for a different story about what is happening.  Rather than being fearful of all the what if's, re-writing the story to what new experience will I get to have that will allow me to grow and be a better person.

Everyone wants to increase their metabolism, which makes sense as your metabolism plays a huge role in your body composition.  Your metabolism directly impacts how many calories you burn during your workout and through out the day and there are many things you have control over to boost your metabolism which is what we chat about today.

As a side note, we do go off on a bit of a tangent, but relevant none the less :)

We doing a bit of a continuation from last week on creatine and how creatine has lots of benefits from cognitive health to building lean muscles and fat loss.

It's a quick chat today about creatine and should you use it.  Creatine is one of THE most studied supplements on the market, and today we are talking specifically about creatine monohydrate.

Creatine has been shown to help build lean muscle which then helps you burn more calories at rest - so a win win really.  Creatine is an amino acid naturally found in some meats and has been shown to not only help with building muscle but increase oxygen to the brain which then increases your focus and mental clarity.

The brand I use is PVL found here...PVL | 100% Pure Creatine
