Bevvy Tea

Y’all this stuff……is SO good!
So I use Crystal Lite a lot because I get tired of plain water BUT honestly its not the best for us. It’s artificially sweetened & there’s no real nutrition value.
But THIS tea!! This tea has fiber to help me feel fuller so it reduces cravings & overeating so it can actually aid weight loss!!!
& it taste yum!!
Bevvy Tea for the WIN! 💓

Scheduling

Honestly without a schedule or to do list not much really gets accomplished.

I know for myself I have to use my planner. I live by that thing. Some may say that sounds like its ruling my life but honestly it’s what keeps me organized, on track, less overwhelmed, less chaotic, on time, & gives me freedom! When you manage 4 people every single day plus run several businesses you must work from a list!

All the time I hear people say “I don’t have time” for this or that but the truth is they’re unorganized & do their tasks in a chaotic way which takes more time. With a daily schedule we get more done which means we have time for those things we THINK we don’t have time for like fitness or preparing & cooking healthy meals or starting that new business or…..

& to me more time = freedom ❤️

I know there are several phone apps but I’m a pen to paper kind of girl so that’s what I do. Figure out what works best for you! I promise it’ll change your life for the better!

There’s NO Magic Pill

I talk with people all the time about weight loss & the truth is there’s no Magic Pill for weight loss! Its about what & how much you put in your mouth, are the workouts you’re doing enough & are you burning enough calories thru the day!!!

There are lots of workouts out there but if they don’t increase your calorie burn while you are doing them then you probably won’t see much weight loss….especially if your pretty sedentary the rest of the day.

Also…You must burn more calories than you eat.

No there’s no magic pill but sometimes just small tweaks can cause big results!

Holler if you need help!

You can hop in my Healthy Holidays group where I’ll be sharing EVERYTHING about how I stay fit, what I eat & other lil secrets to help YOU get to looking & feeling like you want!

This is a DONT MISS group!

Motivation

I thought a blog post on motivation would be fitting for a Monday b/c it’s the most dreaded day of the week.

I believe when we lack motivation it’s b/c we lack our WHY. We haven’t really solidified our reason(s) why we want to do or achieve something in fitness, health, business or life. (Of course motivation can also be lacking if we’re not doing a job we love or a workout that’s fun BUT those are things that can always be changed!)

Example: you want to lose weight. Well most people aren’t driven enough to do that just for themselves so doing it for someONE else usually brings that motivation in that they need. So for me I’m highly motivated to be fit & healthy to be here & present for my children. My children = my WHY.

My children are actually my why for everything – health, business & life.

Everything I do is for them as like most moms. We can use that unconditional love as motivation.

If you don’t have kids maybe you have fur babies or other people that depend on you – use that as your motivation.

Motivation has to come from within b/c of that love burning deep inside you. Nobody can give you motivation. This is why if you’re to achieve anything you must determine your why then really develop it. It will be your driving force on the days you don’t want to workout, eat healthy, work on your business, work on your personal development…..

So figure out what your driving force is then put it around you – you can even write it on sticky notes so you see it often – & this will push you each & every day !!
