Do you believe it? BACK 2 SCHOOL IS HERE!! WOOT WOOT! If you're a parent you know how good it feels to get back into a routine. Life is smoother. Kids know what to expect. YOU know what to expect. You actually have a moment to process a thought. I feel most parents love back to school time not because they are thrilled their kids are getting older (this part is actually pretty hard on the heart strings). Most parents say they love back 2 school because they TRIVE off a good solid routine.
I just wanted to send some love & encouragement and say-NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT FOCUS BACK ON YOU! (I know this is hard! Just remember-YOU EXIST TOO!)
Wanna try something new-DO IT!
Wanna push yourself harder-DO IT!
Wanna step outside your comfort zone-DO IT!
Just a reminder to:
STOP following the trends
Start doing what feels good to YOU!
If you don't know what feels good, you can answer these questions below to help you find your answer...
1. What gives you energy?
2. What fills your soul with joy?
3. What makes YOU proud of YOU?
NOW.......GO DO THAT THING and make it apart of your NEW ROUTINE!
7 smalls steps to get started on the right foot 👣
If you know you need to do something to make a change in your lifestyle but don’t know where to start, listen up. There are so many conflicting “diets” out there and “professionals” who are spouting off their advice. Even if they mean well, it all can just turn into noise.
It’s overwhelming! It’s stressful! And, it’s discouraging.
The truth is, we all had to start somewhere and most of us started small, with little things that worked for us personally. Below is a list of things you can do to start making small changes but keep in mind, each thing is a suggestion and 100% customizable to you.
Waking up one day and jumping all in sounds like a good idea for a second. But once the motivation fades (and trust me, it fades) most people fall right back into their own ways.Start with baby steps that are doable for you so that you can make a lifelong change.
Keep a food diary. When you write down everything that you are eating and drinking throughout the day, it will help you become more conscious of it. You can’t mindlessly snack when you have to write it all down!
Set reminders in your phone that tell you to stand up/move/walk/stretch. If you are sitting at a desk all day the times that you stand up and move can really add up!
If you’re not a fan of water, add some lemon, lime or a flavoring to it to make it more enticing. Set reminders to drink a cup of water every hour.
Try one new vegetable a week If you’ve never tried kale before, for instance, buy a bunch, go home and google a way to make it.
Dress nice, do your hair and/or do your makeup at least once per week. Or get all dressed up on a Sunday just to go food shopping! It’s a real confidence booster and when you look good, you feel good. It will subconsciously make you want to treat yourself better and make healthier choices.
Try a nut milk You may want to give up dairy entirely, but start with small choices.Buy almond milk instead of regular milk next time you go to the store and work it into circulation in your home.
Shut off your phone for 15 minutes a day. Let’s be honest, you both need a break from each other. Shut it off and put it in another room just to give yourself that little extra screen break. 15 minutes a day is one hour and 45 minutes a week without phone time! What can you do with almost an extra two hours added to your day?
If these seven steps racked your brain and made you think of something else you can do to take a baby step, go for it! If you ask 10 people where they started, you would get 10 different answers. Different tactics work for each of us and that’s A-ok
What is going to be your first baby step? Or what was it for you?

A LITTLE MORE INFO:
BOXING-The boxing workouts will focus on combinations of punches and footwork that build in complexity along with conditioning drills that build power using body weight to increase lean muscle mass, speed/agility with fast footwork that will push you into high-intensity spikes of fat-burning, and endurance to boost performance so you burn more calories faster.
LIFTING-Joel will take you through 2 weightlifting workouts each week—one day of upper body to build strength and power, and the other day concentrating entirely on lower body/legs, because every punch you throw explodes from the ground up. •
UPPER-You will do Lift Upper Body each week to increase strength and power and help tone your triangle (chest, back, shoulders, biceps, and triceps). This is when you really hit the weights to make sure there’s strength, force, and power behind every punch.
LOWER-You will do Lift Lower Body each week to build your base (legs), because every punch you throw explodes from the ground up! Punching power is generated by the strength in your legs. That’s your foundation and it’s where everything starts.
