Breast Cancer Survivors: Inspirational!

If you are alive today, chances are you know at least one woman who has gone through breast cancer.

I have a lovely client who is a survivor, as well as scores of ladies in my fitness classes, and who work out regularly at my gym.

Everywhere I turn I see survivors, and they are so inspirational.

This morning I got a call from our local news station asking me if I trained breast cancer survivors, I said "Yes."

They asked if I knew anyone who could come in shortly to give an interview, and I thought of one of my clients who is so strong and amazing.

Here she is on the news telling her story:

Breast cancer affects all of us, and it's a pleasure to know such strong and wonderful women who have gone through cancer and come out on the other side.

Holiday Hypnotherapy? Weight Loss Over the Holidays

One of the biggest reasons people gain weight at the holidays: lack of willpower.  But what if it was possible to manipulate your willpower, making you unwavering to the temptations of the season?     Hypnotist Colin Christopher , author of the book Success Through Manipulation: Subconscious Reactions That Will Make or Break You , who helps his patients lose weight through hypnosis, says hypnosis manipulates and strengthens a person’s willpower so much, that he guarantees anyone who uses it can lose weight this time of year when food is in abundance.       That’s not his opinion; the stats back it up.  The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology says that adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97%, and increased the effectiveness of weight loss post hypnosis by more than 146%. So how does it work? ·          Direct access to the subconscious – ...

Obstacle Course Fun!

Image
Obstacle course races are all over the place these days, and they are so much fun! My two older daughters finishing Rugged Maniac at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds July 2017 Races like Tough Mudder (the original), Spartan Race , Rugged Maniac and Warrior Dash are encouraging all sorts of people to get out there and try something new; to challenge themselves! You may not think you are strong enough or brave enough to try an obstacle course race, but you are! I thought the same thing a few years ago, before doing Tough Mudder. I was SCARED!  A personal training client was doing it for the third time, and when she invited me I knew I couldn't turn her down. I'm terrified here, before the race. June, 2015 We formed a team with some other ladies and had a really intense 18 km together in the cold and mud of Whistler. What a day; I 'll never forget it. This is making memories! Now I've done Rugged Maniac twice (LOVE IT!), Spartan once, Battle Frog once...

What is holding me back?

We all have dreams and hopes of one day being "something". Maybe we hope to be a parent, a spouse, a little skinnier, a little healthier, or whatever it may be. We all have aspirations to do or be something, but how many of us are reaching those goals? How many of us are living the way we really want to be living? We say we'll lose weight- "I'll start the new diet on Monday." We say we'll start working out- "I don't have time." We say we'll start doing this or that but why aren't we? What's holding us back? Look deep inside yourself and try to find motivation and meaning to go out there and do the things that you want to do. Make yourself the number one priority and make yourself happy. When you're happy, you'll be able to make others happy. So, go out there and do it!
