    Some people don't stick it out long enough to get over the hump. That person was me too. That was one of the many and main reasons I yoyo'd up and down with my weight throughout my 20's that among other things. It was that I got to a point that I thought I couldn't take my physique any further and so I'd say ok well this is the stopping point. I didn't know that my body had just hit a plateau and that's why that point seemed like it was the end for me each time I lost weight up to a point. I didn't know plateauing did not mean I should give up and face the fact that the saddle bags I had weren't going away it just meant I needed to do something new to get them down more. That it meant I just needed to work harder because the same routines were getting easier. That I was indeed progressing I was just adapting and that is why things needed to change. Remember keep going and also change things up. If you reach a plateau mix things up and just keep going.

Who wants a book at the end of the year with mostly blank pages? Each day is an opportunity to write a new page in your book, so fill the day with all things meaningful and fill your page. Be thankful, be grateful, meditate take a few minutes for yourself and just breath 2 minutes 5 minutes maybe even 10 minutes to go within. See greatness unfold. And finally remember be true to you and listen to your inner voice, that gut feeling inside you the one of truth that is positive and tells you that yes you can do it, you can make ideas happen, you can be your best you. And each day you can do better.
    Love this! And love those photos of you. You look great, and those leggings are badass! Congrats on your certification!

    Hey Chelsea! What's up girl? Thank you. I have to admit I have come across a lot of leggings but these by far are my favorite. Thank you for the compliment it was my first time shooting with Mike Cadotte and I could be more pleased with the photos he was great to shoot with. And I can't tell you how much of a smile it puts on my face to know that I passed and I am a personal trainer. Your congratulations means a lot! Thank you.

    Can't tell you how jealous I am of you in sunny San Diego. This winter has been horrific! I'm sick of snow and single digit temperatures!! Cardio and heavy deadlifts/back is on the schedule for me today. Have a great day!!

    Hi ladies, I'm here. Apologies for being M.I.A. great news though. I decided to go for it and compete at the Arnold. I really wanted to go for it. Even if just for the expo but I decided this is it this is going to be my first show of the year to compete given I live only an hour flight from Washington D.C. (my current residence) to Ohio. Heck yeah! I couldn't and didn't want such an opportunity to compete at such a prestigious competition to pass me by. I placed 15 out of 29 remarkably beautiful fit women amazing hard working women. Bikini Class C Arnold Amateur. It was the experience of a lifetime. Wouldn't trade it for the world. And the EXPO omg how fun It was like a reunion catching up with fit friends I've known since before my first competition in 2012 and those I have met online and connected with. It was great seeing the big names in the industry too. I am bummed I missed Dave though! I Love Dave Palumbo OMG those eyes and he is so funny. And he does the BEST interviews. I digress. If you haven't been to the Arnold Expo or Competed! Do It! This was my first show of the year and I wanted to go BIG so I did it was Amazing.

    Oh there is one thing I was stressing a tiny bit about as I knew I would be on my cycle the week of the show ugggh :-( sad face.... Thank God however I came on a couple days earlier than I was suppose to which put me at the tail end of my cycle on comp day. That was one of the toughest weeks for me. I was not letting my cycle stop me from doing the show though. Last year I kid you not EVERY Single comp I wanted to do fell on the week of my cycle so I didn't compete at all. I refused to let that be the case for me this year and said forget it don't care I want to do the Arnold so I am doing it. I am pleased soooo pleased and glad I did. I placed 15 sure but man was I happy I mean this was an International Show and I competed against women from around the world who came with their best physiques too That's something to be really proud of and I thank God so much for the opportunity HE has given me to do so many amazing things in fitness that I love. Wow! Gratitude.

    I get so tired of oatmeal, egg whites and shakes for breakfast. I have dairy issues so can't have yogurt! I may try protein pancakes. Ever make those?
