Today, mid November I went for a swim.. I have continually vowed that I would never get in the water until mid June. I was relieved to find it quite a pleasant experience. Perhaps that no swim clause should be deleted. Boundaries only exist because you put them in place. Try opening up to something new. It can be quite refreshing ;) -J

Diet simply defines the food that you put in your mouth. So when I ask you how is your diet? What mean is what do you eat, not what recent paleo-atkins-grapefruit-lemonade-highcarb-lowcarb-21day-shrinkbellyfat-mediterranean-cabbage-weightwatcher's way to get "slimfast". What do you eat?

Trick or treat always ends in the parents gorging on their children's candy. Maybe they don't eat it all at once. Maybe they do it gradually over time so their child won't notice. We adults can be just as sneaky as children when it comes to candy. The problem with Halloween is that all of a sudden your house is filled with bite sized miniatures of your favorite candies. Maybe it has been your mantra to keep junkfood out of the house but on halloween all bets are off. I have seen halloween be the gateway drug to christmas and newyears. Once you have your Halloween binge, then it's Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Newyears. Then its back on the diet wagon. Maybe this year choose trick over treat. The trick is, stick to your diet.

How bout this heat!?? This is just a PSA reminding you to stay hydrated. How do you know you are hydrated? You urine should run clear at least once a day. If it ranges from orange to yellow drink more water! Hydration ensures that your metabolism runs efficiently and keeps your body and mind in balance. Drink up my friends it's gonna be a long hottttt summer!

This year I am focusing on baby steps. Rather than procrastinating because a task itself is too large to tackle. I am focusing on taking small steps, or small bites and making sure to celebrate the small victories. As long as you are moving you are not standing still. You can not change in a day but you can change your day. Whatever it is that you have been meaning to do, take a small step today.

I feel fall in the air and winter on the horizon. It is starting to cool down. This is the prime time for outdoor fitness. Cardio is one of the most abused form of exercise. I see people doing hours of fruitless cardio in the gym. In order for you to yeild weightloss results with cardio it must be done efficiently and correctly or you may find yourself exhausted and discouraged. It must also be accompanied with a nutritious beneficial diet plan. I am now offering both. Starting In Septermber I am offering 45min cardio bootcamp with a 15 min stretch accompanied by nutrition consultations and guidence. If you are interested and motivated please inbox me for more information.

"Summers' coming" that's a common motivational excuse to get your health and body in order. But summer doesn't last. Don't make your fitness goals seasonal. Think longterm. Think quality of life, think reaching and living your goals. Excuses will only move you further away from your desires.

It seems like every woman I know is on a diet. I too have been guilty of chronic dieting. When I was younger I obsessed about my weight to the point of illness. But out of that darkness I have built understanding. I have learned how to care for my body. How to feed and nuture it correctly. I recognize that you "get out, what you put in". The truth is that everyday we grow older. There is not much we can control. But you never know what you can "prevent". Start thinking about your body's future today.

Recenty my family planted a garden. It is an incredibly gratifying and interactive activity. Tending and planting is a good source of both physical activity and good clean healthy food. The rewards are plenty. Plant a garden today!

Will power can be an extremely beneficial when attempting to redirect your eating habits. Intially when you set out to change your ways will power is all that you have. Eventually that will power will take on a new form. It becomes acceptance. Acceptance then grows into a lifestlye change. People always ask for cheat days and cheat meals. I believe they are necessary, but only when your willpower has transformed into a lifestlye. You see when you commit to change, a cheat meal will not end in self-sabotage. When you commit to change you can have your cake and eat it too.

In this time if economic uncertainty having a personal trainer or joining a gym may seem like a luxary. Eating organic healthy foods may seem like a fantasy reserved for those with higher incomes. I am here to tell you that where there is a will there is a way. The first thing that you need to do. Is mentally commit to change. Once you have made this commitment seek out the experts, online, on television and in person, who hold the keys to your success. You must be willing to learn and adapt. Working out and exercise is not restricted to a gym. Healthy eating is not restricted to the organic section. If you are intersted in learning more about health and fitness on a tight budget drop me a line.
Take care of yourself -J

Have you tried HIIT? High intensity interval training is short and not so sweet. It is a series of intervals where you push your body to it's max for short bursts of time. It is proven to burn more fat throughout your day than continual cardio ie. Running on the treadmill. If you are interested in learning more about HIIT cardio. Come train with me... Don't worry! I'll go easy on you ;)

The new year is coming. Januaray is well known for new beginnings. As we kiss 2013 good bye, ask yourself "am I a badass?"... If the answer is "no" clear a space on your calendar to come and train with me. Together we will tap into and release tge bad ass in you. Have a happy healthy day! -Jenille
