"Don't wait until the fourth Thursday in November, to sit with family and friends to give thanks.
Make every day a day of Thanksgiving." -Charmaine J. Forde
If we’re being honest EVERY month should be one of gratitude, but let’s allow this month to be our reminder to focus particularly on the recognizing all the things we have to be thankful for! Time to get Glowing & Growing! <3
This month we will be taking a deep dive into the true meaning of gratitude. And I’m talking more than just saying “thank you” and being thankful for the blessings in our lives - practicing gratitude is about being intentional with our thoughts and actions. What we focus on is what grows, so we want to concentrate especially on the things for which we are grateful! #gratitudeattitude
You will also get weekly meal plans, daily inspiration, hundreds of workouts you can do wherever you get wifi (home, gym, traveling for work etc.) and a place to find support in these WILD times. I know that everyone’s lives are looking a little bit different this fall and I want to be there to SUPPORT YOU!
For me I know I am at my BEST when I am properly fueling my body, working out and pouring into my own cup through personal development (if this is new to you NO FEAR, I GOT YOU with a daily PODCAST CALENDAR) anything that really grounds me and brings me back to a place of gratitude.
I’ll be spicing it up with some weekly themes:
Bless & Stretch Sundays - where we will talk about how gratitude is connected to giving. Let’s leave a little sparkle wherever we go. ; ) We will discuss ways to bless others (while also blessing ourselves) and get in a little extra stretch for those growing muscles!
-Get Up & Glow Mondays – it’s glow time! Mondays will be all about how to get motivated and start each week out with the momentum to shine all week long. We will also discuss self-care practices for a more radiant you!
-Light It Up Tuesdays - will ignite a spark on creating positive habits along with what we can do to establish a healthier environment for overall wellness. We will light up with enlightenment on topics that will inspire us to keep glowing & growing.
-Sweater Weather Wednesdays – spilling the beans about the fun fall things! Fall outfits, fall foods, fall activities, fall scents and more! Let's cozy up to the warmth of the season and share about our absolute favs while being grateful for all the Autumn splendor!
-Squash It Thursdays - as we wind up each week we will talk about squashing negativity to shine more light on positivity! Topics will include setting boundaries, how to stop sweating the small stuff, how to release stress along with a few squash recipes just because!
-Full of Gratitude Fridays – the last day of the work week gets even better when we talk having a grateful heart and how to be more intentional with an attitude of gratitude. I'll share the benefits of keeping a gratitude journal, being grateful for experiences, appreciating growth in every stage of life, and outwardly expressing that feeling of gratitude with action.
-You SHINE Saturdays - the bright & golden day where we will talk all about increasing our confidence and seeing the very best in ourselves! We will recognize our worth and create self-care habits that help us shine brighter than before.
If we come full circle back to fitness - I have personally found myself on all #s on the scale - If we’re being honest I spent a good portion of my life gaining and losing the same 10lbs with WHATEVER fad diet was on the cover of US Weekly *cringe* only to be left frustrated, uninspired and saying some pretty harsh things to myself.
Know what’s funny? I found a LOT of other people were in this sick cycle too #hamsterwheel and the main objectives for not making any progress in these departments were VERY similar - No time, money or confidence.
Enter my fourth baby; the B-Team Bootcamp.
In this welcoming space we focus on 3 main things:
Exercise: I know I may be a weirdo but working out is my SANITY. I’ve been an athlete my entire life and I genuinely ENJOY working out - I KNOW I am the minority here and ENJOYING working out isn’t a requirement BUT getting your heart rate going and moving that body IS. Beachbody on Demand - or SWEATFlix as I like to call it - has hands down THE BEST workout programs on the planet. They have something for EVERYONE - and most require little to no equipment and come in right around 30 mins. Cardio, Strength, HIIT, Dance, Pilates, Yoga - you name it; I have something for you. When you join the Bootcamp you’ll have the option to work through one of these programs which lays it ALL out there for you. Absolutely NO guesswork. (and Best part is you’re streaming so they’re avail ANYWHERE you got wifi) and theyre designed by the PROS; read RESULTS.
Nutrition. Truth Circle - this is my struggle. I KNOW what to eat - but the damn wine won’t stop calling me from the kitchen every day when the clock strikes 5pm. That being said a STRONG % of your success will come from proper nutrition and keeping that in mind the B-Team Bootcamp has you covered in this dept as well. Shakeology is THE most important part of my meal plan. It’s a meal replacement (or if you’re pregnant or nursing it would be a supplement) made for whole-food sources, packed with antioxidents, superfoods, pro/pre-biotics and SO much more. I have had one every single day for the past 5 years. In that time it has greatly decreased my coffee intake, INCREASED my energy, kept my HANGRY afternoon feelings at bay, replaced my multivitamin AND prenatal vitamin, helped with my digestion, curbed my sweet tooth and perhaps best of all - it’s just delicious. You can read more about it here!
Mindset: Now this is a recent addition to my Bootcamp because it’s taken me awhile to realize your mindset is probably the MOST important component. Your body isn’t going to do ANYTHING if your mind doesn’t tell it to and if you’re telling yourself “you could never do that” or “this is only temporary” well I’m sorry but it is. One of my fav quotes “Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right” is my life mantra (for health and other aspects). So we take a little time each week to pour into ourselves with some self love and confidence building activities. DON’T PANIC - I know this can be unfamiliar territory BUT I PROMISE, yes PROMISE, this will be a HUGE factor in establishing a healthier routine - and the activities are doable; journaling, affirmations etc.
And lastly SUPPORT. Accountability is CRUCIAL when going through any sort of life change, let alone a health and wellness program. Luckily this Bootcamp is filled with like-minded people all doing the same thing at the same time. So not only do you get daily tips and tricks on meal planning, prepping, nutrition, fitness etc from me you get Peer Support from others walking the walk - encouraging one another, feeling the losses and celebrating the wins TOGETHER.
Participation in the group looks different on everyone - so sweaty selfies are not required (although encouraged!). If you want to post a picture of every meal you take because you’re proud of them POST THEM, share your recipes! If you want to quietly take it all in - creep away as long as you’re getting some help from what I’m providing.
And if you’re like me and really want to take the accountability to the next level we have morning zoom workouts - 6am and 7am so we all log on and workout together. Everyone is doing their own workouts and after a quick hey, hi whats up - it’s biz time.
And to end it like those ol’ terrible commercials “I’m not just the President, I’m also a client” here are my 6 weeks results from one of our 20 minute programs from Sept-Nov of this year!
