Imagine being 80 yrs old & realizing you missed out on a lifetime of memories because you didn’t think your body was good enough.

Imagine looking back & realizing you didn’t get in the photos… because you didn’t like how you looked.

You didn’t go swimming…. because you were worried about your thighs.

You didn’t wear the bathing suit… because your stomach wasn’t flat enough.

You didn’t take the trip… because you wanted to lose weight first.

You held yourself back from experiences, connection & being fully present… because you were at war with your own body.

And the part that hurts …. Your body was never the thing keeping you from living.

The rules you created around your body were.

The constant waiting.

“I’ll do it when I lose 20lbs.”
“I’ll buy the clothes when I’m smaller.”
“I’ll take pictures when I feel confident.”
“I’ll start living when I finally feel comfortable in my skin.”

But what if that day never comes?

What if the life you’re waiting for is happening right now?

You don’t need to hate your body into changing it.

You don’t need another extreme plan.

You don’t need to punish yourself into becoming someone else.

You need to learn how to take care of yourself from a place of self-respect.

The goal isn’t just fat loss. The goal is confidence, energy, strength, freedom, a body you trust & a life you don’t want to hide from.

So ask yourself: Are the things you’re doing today creating the life you actually want to live?

Because one day you’re going to look back at this season of your life.

Make sure you’re proud of how you showed up for yourself.

Saturday, Sept 12 our coaching doors close again until mid October. We have 8 spots left.
The decision is yours. Comment READY to see if we’re good a fit to work together.

You are probably never going to feel 100% ready.

Ready to start.
Ready to change.
Ready to invest.
Ready to be uncomfortable.
Ready to do something differently.

Waiting until you feel ready is one of the easiest ways to stay exactly where you are.

You don't need certainty.

You need a willingness to take the next step anyway.

😂🤣😂

Let’s call a ♠️ a ♠️ … …… you’re afraid.

Not because you don’t want it badly enough. Not because you’re lazy or don’t have the discipline.

You’re afraid because betting on yourself feels risky.

What if you commit… & don’t follow through?

What if you invest the money…& end up right back where you started?

What if you try… & disappoint yourself again?
Sometimes the thing standing between you & the change you want isn’t money, time or being too busy.

It’s that you don’t fully trust yourself yet.

You’ve collected evidence for years that says:

“I always quit.”
“I can’t stay consistent.”
“I’ve tried everything.”
“This is just who I am.”

So when an opportunity comes along, your brain doesn’t ask: “How can I make this work?”

It asks:
“What if I fail?”
“What if I can’t?”
“What if this is just another thing I don’t finish?”

But, what if instead you asked: “What would I do differently this time?”

How would I show up differently?
What support would I need?
What systems would help me succeed?

The goal isn’t to become someone who never struggles.

The goal is to become someone who trusts herself enough to keep going when she does.

The biggest transformation isn’t losing the weight. It’s becoming the woman who finally believes: “I can count on myself.”

We have 8 spots left in our cohort starting Sept 14. It’s time to bet on yourself.

Things you say that make trainers & coaches want to bang their head against a wall: ROUND 2

1. “Do you have any more recipe & snack ideas?”

2. “I’m just going to wait until after [insert random life event/busy thing] to start.”

3. “It’s just my slow metabolism & cortisol. My naturopath said so.”

4. “This workout program is way too easy.”

5. “I can’t protect my environment. Geez, I have a husband &/or kids that live here too, you know.

6. “I can’t get my steps in. I have to sit perfectly still on this bench while I watch my kids play [insert any sport]

7. “Maybe I’m eating too little?”

8. “I’m just going to try it on my own”
And … Five years later… same s**t.

9. “I would really love to take control of my health & become a client, but I’m in perimenopause.”

10. “I want to lose at least 40–50 lbs, but I don’t want to do this… or that… & no
to that as well.”

11. “The scale went up/stayed the same, so I ate the pantry… or I quit.”

Well… this was a cool surprise. 💜

Kevin & I just found out that Fitgirlsrock was voted Best of FMM by the community again this year.

I completely forgot about the voting. We didn’t promote it or even remind anyone to vote… so finding out that you still took the time to nominate & vote for us means so much.

This year, Fitgirlsrock took home:

🥇 GOLD — Fitness Centres
🥇 GOLD — Weight Loss & Nutrition
🥈 SILVER — Personal Trainer
🥈 SILVER — Holistic Wellness

We are incredibly grateful. Not just for the awards, but for what they represent.

Every woman who has trusted us with her health. Every person who has joined us at one point in-person & now entirely online. Every conversation, every workout, every breakthrough, every hard day & every win.

This is why we do what we do.

To know that the Fort McMurray community sees the work we’re doing & believes it deserves to be recognized is pretty special.

Thank you, Fort McMurray. 💜

We’re honoured to keep doing what we love & even more honoured to do it with you.
