“Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” Warren Buffett .

Coach Maria here,

Let’s just remember when we get pushed off our path at times why we started. .

Success takes time folks. Be fair to yourself and keep nurturing your goals. .

They will appear eventually and when they do you must keep them watered and thriving.

Otherwise we worked really hard for that one moment in time when we could be enjoying more moments from our efforts!

Amen

Best workout pal!

Happy heavenly birthday Mr Bill. I miss you so so sooooo much 🥹. Not a day goes by where I don’t laugh thinking of all the funny moments! Im using your total gym and your Jillian Micheal’s bands hahahahahahahah. Thank you for so many memories and an endless supply of moments to chuckle 🤭 about.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

GOD BLESS AMERICA ❤️🤍💙

🍔BBQ Tips for Staying ON PLAN

🌭 Before loading food up on your plate, scope out what All your options are ahead of time so that you are in full control of what you put on your plate.

🍔 PROTEIN! Skip the bun and have a potato! Try getting the leanest and cleanest option for protein.

🥗 VEGGIES second. Next to your protein, put some fresh veggies. Roasted veggies or cold, a perfect sidekick to your protein!

🥙 BRING YOUR OWN! I always bring my own meats to grill and or a side dish of veggies and fruit. This way I full control over seasonings and lean cuts. Plus it’s nice to help contribute.

🍪 ENJOY a little treat! It's all about LIFESTYLE folks! Enjoy your favorite treats but within portions.

🍷 DRINKS! If you are choosing to drink alcohol set yourself a drink limit before hand so that you stick to it! Can’t go wrong with a glass of Cabernet ❤️ 2 drink max! WATER WATER WATER! Bring it with you!

💃 HAVE FUN! Gatherings are our way of taking a load off and enjoying our friends and families and not allowing food to have power over us. Laughing and enjoying others is where it's at!

At the end of the day it’s just food. There’s no good or bad food. It’s just food. So eat the food!!! Just have a great time!

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE to snag an early morning Personal Training time slot! For the first time in years I have a Wednesday and Friday 7:30am 60min window open starting July 1st!

Just text “JULY” to 617-835-2316 and let’s schedule your discovery call!!!

Can’t wait to meet you 😊

Often times we’ve lived in a state of overwhelm when we get to work on our goals.

We try to change too many things all at once because we “want things fast” or we simply have been given the impression that it’s just how it goes.

This tends to lead to failure and self pity mixed with doubt. Not a great place to be in TRUST ME. I can totally relate.

That is why as a coach I believe in picking only ONE THING to adjust, change, and improve. One thing at a time.

Make this one thing normal and a part of everyday life and build from there by choosing ANOTHER ONE THING. These will all add up into an amazing outcome. .

Perhaps you appreciate the love for your family

Perhaps you appreciate your body and how you nourish it.

Perhaps you appreciate your strength and work it to its fullest.

Just notice more of what you appreciate and allow them to grow and become even more amazing!

Have a great day!

The only way is through!

Regret is something I never want to feel again.

I make sure I go for everything I want to EVEN though there are roadblocks.

Not everything worth working for is easy and may come with less ideal moments but it’s WORTH It!

I never regretted changing my life for the better♥️

Spring is here and I know you don’t want to feel the regret of not starting now when it comes to your health.

Let’s go for it!

We had a fun visit from Trish Adams and Kerry Fenlon yesterday! As you can see we were not having fun at all! 😭😆

I love coaching strong, independent, hard working men & women!

Those who are ready to get to work and enjoy having fun while doing so.

Those who trust the process.

Those who find solutions for all roadblocks.

I love supporting my clients through some of the most important times of their lives.

I help them become strong and independent with their healthy lifestyles.

You are not just a client to me, you are a beautiful relationship in which I am blessed to have ❤️

2oz eggwhites

1/4c rolled oats

3 months Mila Mila!!!!!!

You are such a happy chill little thing. You are talking up a storm cooing, laughing, and drooling all the while (teething?). You are finally letting mama and dada get more sleep these days (thank you). As hard as it is getting up in the middle of the night with you I love it all at the same time. You have started to roll over and have dropped your swaddle at 2 months. You found your hands and love to wake up soothing yourself back to sleep. We love you beautiful cutie girl especially your big brother ❤️❤️❤️

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

You see, there at times when success feels fast and fun, and there are times where you feel it isn’t working and you start to question.

In the end just know that this will happen over and over again as it’s just a part of success.

Are you strong enough to keep going EVEN when it feels like the end?

Keep going my friends.

There’s one thing about me that you can count on is that I never quit, I may slow down at times but I’ll
Never quit.

Who else has my energy?

I would LOVE to work with you!!!

The depths of your sibling bond knows no bounds, Mateo! As an exemplary older brother, you envelop dearest Mila with wholehearted warmth, love, and kindness. It humbles me to witness such selfless maturity from one so young. Celebrating your 2nd birthday next month; how time flies when we bask in precious moments like these!

Knock knock, who’s there, your New Years resolutions.......... oh how are those goals going by the way??

Just working on some client programs while testing them out! Watch out clients here I come! 😎

I LOVE a good stirfry so easy and delicious!

What if I told you that you could never have that slice of pizza, or your birthday cupcake, or that Friday night glass of wine EVER AGAIN?

What if I told you that you WOULD lose weight aka muscle and maybe a little fat BUT you would have to be ok with gaining it all back and maybe more?

What if I told you in order to reach your goals your new normal would be that you would feel extremely low energy and fatigued while trying to do your workouts?

YUP! You would say HECK NO!!!! Welcome to all the reasons why I am extremely against ANY FAD DIETS.

I provide health, fuel, healthy habits, mindset, sleep and stress support, recovery for clients, AND WE STILL ENJOY OURSELVES!!!! We drive for sustainable RESULTS and NEVER a diet or add restrictions.

Look how happy they are too!
