Off The Cuff with Christa Cooper

A quote that has hit me pretty hard through my own personal journey is this one, “don’t wish for it, work for it” no matter what your working towards and what goals you have set for yourself, we all can relate to the fact that nothing will get you there unless you’re willing to put in the work, right? It’s about working towards what you want and reminding yourself every day that it’s worth it … YOU are worth it! This is a quick chat on believing in yourself and setting yourself to a higher standard to get more out of what you want. Oh and my kids in the background … don’t mind them! HA! This is mom life …. #enjoy

As we kick off the new year, 2020 is here can you believe it? I don't set New Years Resolutions, I would rather consider this time of year a time to reset, re-charge and re-focus on what matters most to me. This week I share some motivational tips to help you get started on your healthy journey, whatever that looks like for you! We're all different, but I hope you'll find this helpful in whatever you have going on in your life right now. We can do this together!

This week I share a recent story of my husband's truck being broken into while we were out to dinner with our kids. So many have reached out to support us and asking for updates, so I thought I would share what happened and any updates I do have. I also wanted to use this time to remind others of ways to stay safe, not only over the holidays, but every day as this can happen to anyone. In looking at the bright side, everything happens for a reason. We may never know the reason ... but we'll grow from this and move on. Thanks for listening!

Wait, what? Lose weight and still eat cake? YES! I share my weight loss successes with you and yes, I still eat cake! It's not about a "diet" it's about a lifestyle change, and I hope this helps motivate and inspire you. It's time to live your best life, I hope you enjoy my story.

School started a few weeks ago and I am still trying to wrap my head around the new routine! I can't be alone, right? It's like I am hot mess express, running around trying to figure out how to do this whole mom thing all over again! From lunches, to dance, to chores and morning routine ... this is my crazy life! Listen in for real life stories of what's been going on in my world which I hope will remind other mom's out there that you are not alone. We got this!

I titled this episode, Why start tomorrow when you can start today, to hopefully inspire and motivate you to take small steps today to get you closer to your goal(s) tomorrow. It's a short message that I hope you'll enjoy and find motivating. You can do this!

Welcome to Episode 14 of Off The Cuff! WOW! This week I answer a question my husband asked me, "Where do I get all my energy?" and in my answer I have a question for myself "What am I going to do today to get me closer to my goals tomorrow?" That's what fuels my energy, might not be for everyone, but it's the way I live my life and feel it might be helpful to others in whatever they have going on in their life as well. I hope you'll take a listen and enjoy it. Feel free to reach out!

Hi guys!
Thanks for stopping by my page and taking a listen to Off The Cuff podcast! This week, I am getting back from vacation and 4th of July, so trying to get back in the swing of things! This week I started a new program ... 21 Day Fix with Beachbody and OMG ... let me tell you. I am LOVING it! My sister in-law introduced it to me and although I was hesitant at first, thinking I didn't want to "commit" to a program, I was wrong as soon as I did one of the workouts with her! I am only on Day 3, but really liking it and feeling it for sure!
I also talk about the importance of a accountability group and connect yourself with others who have similar goals or wanting to live a healthy life. That has been so successful for me and fun to connect with others on that level, share inspiration and help each other every day. If you are looking for a partner, message me!
I also couldn't resist sharing some new recipes :) This week I tried, baked bell pepper tacos, simple garlic shrimp and mini veggie egg cups. Below are the links to the recipes if you want to give them a try! YUM!

Hi guys! Thanks for checking out my page and taking a listen to the latest episode of my podcast "Off The Cuff!" This week I talk a little about my weight loss plateau and some helpful tricks to getting through it. The timing for me just isn't right, since I am getting ready to leave for vacation! BUT, I won't let that hold me back from having the best time! Time to celebrate my success so far :) I also talk about self-confidence and finding that within yourself, which can be hard over the summer months when we have to put that dreaded bathing suit on!! Right?? Well, don't let your insecurities hold you back from having a great summer with your family. THEY are watching! I came across a story recently that struck a chord with me, check out WDSD.COM - search Christa Cooper for my show notes page to see the full story.

This week I update you on my struggles with potty training my youngest! I also feel the presence of a guardian angel after high winds ripped through our neighborhood, and somehow our house and property went untouched. INCREDIBLE right? Take a listen as I dive in and share the latest in my life!
