Total You Transformations

My current situation...

I am feeling very accomplished (and quite proud of myself) this morning. With some serious self-determination, a YouTube tutorial and prayer, I cleaned the motor and fulfilled the service requirements for my treadmill!

Yeah, baby!
(Now I'm gonna take a nap...lol)

Yesterday was a rough day, my mind was beyond tired and my body was screaming in pain. As soon as I could, I literally crawled into my bed and did not move until my alarm went off this morning.

I woke up with the intent to workout but my body said, "No, sistah, you're gonna rest." I said, "Okay." and, after I finished with the one client who swam over for her session, my body shut down. I slept on and off throughout the day up until about 1:30 this afternoon. Boy, I needed that rest.

By 2:00, I felt good...my body wasn't hurting anymore and my mind felt clear. I wanted to workout but I knew I shouldn't do anything stupid strenuous...I just wanted to move.

Now, y'all may or may not remember that I gave up kickboxing (back in January 2023) because I had developed bursitis in my hips (my right hip was/is worse than the left hip). All the kicking was simply too painful to do. Several months ago, I went to a sports medicine specialist and he gave me some physical therapy style exercises to do; they helped.
That said, I came down to the studio, poke around and decided to do a TaeBo workout. I knew I'd get a good heart pump and have some fun with my boy, Billy Blanks, plus, I wanted to test out my hips.

Although I had to modify a couple of the kicks, it went well. I really enjoyed myself. It was like visiting an old friend. I can feel the pull iny right hip but the exercises that the doctor gave me worked and I feel pretty good.

I guess the point of this post is to say, always listen to your body. It's great to push limits but there comes a time that you must simply rest. Once you've rested, your body will thank and reward you.

Stay safe in this crazy weather, Transformationers.

Much love ❤️!

With 6 weeks and 2 days left til Joe and I sail off to The Caribbean, I wanted to give my workouts one more big push. So, I have incorporated this Bob Harper workout into routine.

It's an oldie but goodie (from about 11+ years ago) and it is a butt kicker...in other words...I love it!

Transformationers Kristy, Jean and I did a five walk this morning.

Today's walk was special because it marked Kristy's personal best!!! I am so proud of this young lady!

Have a wonderfully blessed day, Transformationers.

Remember, you are more than conquerors and YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS YOU! ❤️

Winning!

First FOOD PREP I've done in a while; feels good!
Mesquite chicken, baked potatoes, rice and stewed salmon. This'll hold me for several days!

Have a great weekend, Transformationers ❤️!

Hey, Transformationers, I now have 6:00am, Monday/Wednesday/Friday, training slot open.
Interested?
Call 336-978-2352 or message me. Let's do this!

Happy Monday, y'all!

What a way to start the day, Transformationer Jacob Ibrahim walked in the door and (right away) I noticed the changes in his body.

For the 3 weeks that Jacob has been with Total You Transformations, he has been enthusiastic and has given his all with each of the 9 workouts he has done.
Coupled with PORTION CONTROL (not dieting), Jacob is reaping the benefits of his work.

Keep up the good work, Jacob. We're all proud of you and are cheering you on!

❤️!

Okay, I've teased enough. Excited for the private entrance for my clients. This is more than twice the size of the room I was in.

I praise God for my husband, Joseph.When Forever Fit closed in December 2020, without missing a beat, he said, "No problem. I'll turn the family room into a studio for you." ...and he did. And, when the finished room downstairs became free, Joe said, "Okay, Miriam, I want you to have that room. God is blessing TYT and you need to grow."

Last Sunday, on his birthday, Joe spent the day cleaning the room and getting ready for me. He has worked his fingers to the bone in preparation.

At this moment, Joe (and ,David, our son-in-love) are moving the treadmill and elliptical down. Josh, our son, helped move a lot of stuff down yesterday.

Will post the finished work tomorrow.

❤️!

Other than a few odds and ends, only the elliptical and the treadmill are left to move into my new space (the TV and mirrors will stay for Joe, my husband. He is taking over this room).

Stay tuned. The new Total You Transformations studio will be up and running next week and, of course, pictures to come!

❤️

During our Saturday morning walk, Transformationers Jean, Kristy and I walked into at least two long spiderwebs and a couple of swarms (if that's the correct word) of gnats. Those friggin' gnats had a party and we were the venue.

Between the gnats and the humidity, the walk wasn't very pleasant but the fellowship was a blessing ❤️.

On a side note, I believe I broke some kind of record getting from my front door to the shower...lol. Swirl, gnats, swirl!

Have a wonderfully blessed day, y'all.

Much love ❤️!

For four blessed years, this has been my TOTAL YOU TRANSFORMATIONS studio and my own private sanctuary. But, Praise God, TYT has outgrown this space and is moving to a bigger space with even more to offer my Transformationers!

Stay tuned. The unveiling is coming soon!
❤️!

Exciting changes are coming to
TOTAL YOU TRANSFORMATIONS!
STAY TUNED!

2 miles on the treadmill this morning and 8.01 miles with my girl, Stacy Clark, at Tanglewood.

There's nothing more sweet than doing something you love (which, for me, is walking) with a dear sister-in-Christ: making memories and building relationship.

❤️!

Only two weeks into my new workout cycle/routine and I've already revamped it. The higher the goal, the higher the requirements to reach those goals.

Never become complacent. Always strive to be better than you were yesterday, last week, last month, last year!

Be 100% RELENTLESS. Be thankful for your ability to workout/reach your goals; it is a blessing.

Much love, Transformationers ❤️.

6.21 miles yesterday and 5.1 miles this morning with Transformationer Jean Banks. It's really wonderful when we get out of the studio and into the fresh air.

Lol...but, much to Jean's dismay, we're back to our regular kicka** workouts next week ❤️!

Have a wonderfully blessed weekend, Transformationers and Happy Father's Day!!!

Much love ❤️!

There was a time when I hated "rest days"...not anymore. Now, I embrace them.
Happy Sunday,
Transformationers!

Started out walking at 6:25 this morning with Transformationers Kristy Ainsworth-Redding and
Jean Banks. Kristy joined us for the first 3 miles but Jean and I were far from done; we continued for another 6.07 miles.

Yeah, bay-bee, a total of 9.07 awesome miles on this lovely Saturday morning!

What a wonderfully blessed way to start the day ❤️!
