🔥What’s the “main thing” you can focus on — starting today — to move you closer to your goals?

🔥So true! Is this something you keep in mind when you make food choices?

❓MYTH OR FACT ❓

🤔Sleep will help my workout performance.

🙈

🙉

🔥FACT 🔥

Getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep is important for your health – and it’s vital to your workouts.

👉🏼One reason is safety: when you go into a workout tired, your risk of injury goes up.

Plus, the more energized you feel after a good night of sleep, the more energy you can bring to your workout.

But from a recovery standpoint, sleep is critical at a cellular and hormonal level.

✅Anabolic hormones (like human growth hormone – HGH) help your muscles recover and grow. HGH is released during periods of deep sleep.

✅Catabolic hormones contribute to the breakdown of tissue, and these include cortisol and adrenaline, which are linked with (among other things) stress. When you don’t get enough quality sleep, you can have higher levels of these hormones.

Do you notice a link between how much sleep you get and your workouts? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🦁Do I really need to take a rest day?
Taking a rest day can help your results. But it's up to you!
Reasons to take a rest day:
✅Prevent physical burnout: Too little rest can leave you depleted, stale, and sore.
✅Prevent mental burnout: constantly pushing yourself can set you up to start dreading (vs. looking forward to) your workouts.
Plus, rest days can help you:
🔥Create a more balanced life: fitness is important, but so are your other hobbies and interests.
🔥Spend time with your family and friends.
🔥Do some “adulting.” Grocery shopping, meal prepping, chores, errands, etc. have to get done at some point.

❓MYTH OR FACT ❓

🤔 Myth or Fact: If you work out, you can (mostly) eat whatever you want.

🙈

🔥MYTH🔥

What you eat matters – not just for your results, but also for your health.

Eating a healthy diet:

❤️ May help you live longer
🧡 Keeps your skin, teeth, and eyes healthy
💛 Strengthens your bones & muscles
💚 Boosts your immune system
💙 Lowers risk of many diseases (heart disease,
type 2 diabetes, and some cancers)
💜 Helps your digestive system
🖤 Supports a healthy pregnancy
🤍 Helps reach/maintain a healthy weight
🤎 And so much more: mood, energy, focus,
sleep, etc.

👉 Your food focus should be on lean proteins, healthy fats, vegetables and fruits, and whole grains.

How many times have you given up on healthy eating for the day? The week? The month? Just because you didn't avoid a temptation or two?? Coach Drea has a tip today on Day 11 of our MID-YEAR REBOOT that will help you the next time this happens!

Head to our Temple Training Community Page to hear a fantastic daily tip to keep you on this healthy living journey!!

🤷🏻‍♀️What should I eat after I work out?

💪The easy answer: A protein- & carbohydrate-based snack or meal:
oatmeal & eggs, yogurt & berries, or a turkey sandwich.

Or, you also can create a custom post-workout meal based on your unique needs.

👉🏼The National Academy of Sports Medicine suggests:
1 to 1.5 grams of carbs per kilogram (1 kg = 2.2 lbs) of body weight.
15-25 grams of protein

For a person weighing 150 lbs (68 kg), that means: 15-25 grams of protein and 68-102 grams of carbs.

❓What’s your go-to post-workout snack or meal? 👇👇👇

I heard a word this morning from a Coach that reminded me that it is ok to go back to the basics! What a timely message because today is the first day of our MID-YEAR REBOOT!!

❓What is “mindful” eating?

😮Researchers found that most people spend 20+ minutes eating and 60+ minutes drinking while doing something else … every single day.

Being “mindful” can help you become more intentional about your food choices.

Mindful eating means paying attention to:
✅What foods you buy and what is in those foods,
✅Where your food comes from,
✅How you prepare foods,
✅Where and how you serve it,
✅Chewing and tasting your food, and
✅How specific foods make you feel during and after eating them.

⁉️Do you practice mindful eating?👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

21-Day Habit Challenge

Have you ever wondered how successful people “got successful”?

It wasn’t because of their willpower.

It was because of their daily habits.

Successful people have created habits that help them achieve, maintain, and grow their success!!

Have you found yourself wanting to develop healthier habits?
Perhaps you have tried, made it through a few days, then quit.

What I’m about to share with you will help you to:

*Become the kind of person who is CONSISTENT with their health
*Enjoy more energy and confidence
*And stop gaining and losing the same 10 pounds over and over again!

It’s called the 21-Day Habit Challenge, starting on Monday, June 20th!

If you’re someone who starts and stops new healthy habits every few days, weeks, or months…

Or you WANT to create new, healthy habits but don’t know where to start or which ones are most important to help you reach your goals…

Or maybe you know you NEED accountability to start getting consistent…

Then you’re going to LOVE this online challenge.

Hey 👋🏾– Let’s talk about goal setting and keeping things fresh and fun.📓

Which is awesome … because it helps with motivation.

But there’s one thing to keep in mind. The fastest route between you and your goals is pretty simple.

It’s taking ACTION.

Doing JUST ONE THING. ☝️🏾

On those days when you are tired or stressed or don’t feel like it, just DO ONE SMALL THING to reinforce your commitment to yourself.

Even if that small thing looks like going for a 5-minute walk, sitting quietly and practicing breathing, or drinking a glass of water instead of a soda or sugary coffee.

Making those small healthy choices day in and day out makes it easier to make bigger choices in the future.

Which will help move you toward whatever results you are looking for!

Plus... it helps you feel good in the moment, too!

What’s one small step you can take RIGHT NOW to help you feel better/fitter? Just a question to ask yourself!

Make it a great day.

So often, our clients think MOTIVATION is the problem, but it's actually MINDSET.

You will not ALWAYS be motivated to work out and eat well! However, if you know WHY you want to get healthy, that will spark a fire in you every day!

So stop trying to FIND the motivation and start understanding and defining your WHY!!

Schedule your FREE Wellness Breakthrough session today to gain clarity on your WHY!

Take Care of You - Guest: Andrea Johnson Welcome to Life, Love and the Pursuit of Happiness with Denise Taylor. This week begins the celebration for Denise's latest book "Embrace Your Power & Go". ...

This jumped off the page at me so I must share it with YOU!!

💡Believe in yourself – you’ve got this.

First of all, can I get a DOUBLE TAP if you agree??? 👇🏾 👇🏾

It took me a long time to get here.
But since we are ALL always right on time, that’s okay. The fact that I GOT HERE is what matters.

And now that I’m here looking back on the many years that I felt SO bad for doing (or not doing) these things, here’s the truth:

👎🏾 You can not pour from an empty cup. Taking the time to rest and resort will help you show up with excellence (not perfection) daily.
🍕 Your health and wellness are on you! No one is coming to feed you or move your body for you!
➡️ No one owns your time but you, and “NO” is a complete sentence. You don’t have to be all things to all people.
😅 You CAN change your mind. As often as you want, in fact! You’re the boss! It is totally okay to protect your peace!

You👏🏾 do 👏🏾 not 👏🏾 need 👏🏾 to 👏🏾 apologize!

Why?

Because apologizing for the time, space, and the things you need to build and sustain your best life is important.

So let that apology go and stand in your power as the beautiful, strong woman you are. What’s something else you’re not apologizing for?

Don't miss our 1st Annual Health & Wellness Fair - TOMORROW, SAT., 2/12, 9AM - 2PM, AT CLAUDE MOORE PARK IN STERLING!

This is sure to be the biggest fitness and wellness event of the season, featuring interactive demos, keynote speakers, local vendors, and more!

The NAACP - Loudoun Branch Health & Wellness Fair is free to the public, and we're excited to see you there!

Drop a ❤️❤️ below if you agree! 🙏🏻 Just a friendly reminder to stay the course; you will get to see the results you are looking for if you remain consistent.

I get this question often, why is it so challenging? When will this be easy?

Have you ever asked that question?

What I do realize now is that may not be the goal. The goal is to get fitter, stronger, and move better. This may require days that will be challenging.

Some days you have to choose your hard. It’s hard to try to level up, and it can be hard to remain the same.

The truth is you are one unique person, and you are here on this earth for something great.

Don’t let the obstacle disturb you, disturb the obstacle!!

You don’t have to be perfect to lose weight or get healthy. Just a reminder.

What’s the thing you don’t do perfectly that you will give yourself permission to not do perfectly in 2022? 👇🏻

Just out of curiosity: How does this make you feel? 

A) Motivated! … I’m doing something right, 2022 is my year! 

B) Frustrated … oh, now wonder, I’m going to start doing this TOMORROW!

Drop a letter 👇🏾👇🏾

OR…

Drop a YES if this surprises you 👇🏾👇🏾

One year ago, I promised I would change my life.

I had come off of a year where I was blessed to survive— but was exhausted.

To be honest, I know it was not sustainable the way I was doing business.

I just didn't feel worthy of what my heart dreamed of, and I put all this effort into making more money but at what cost?

So while 2021 was a year I expected to take things to the next level, instead, it became about taking things to the next level in a different way…

So now, for the first time, I'm choosing to focus on the things that bring me joy, and I release all of the stuff that keeps me feeling stuck on an emotional level.

The moral of the story?
Question your goals: Sometimes, they are what is keeping you stuck.
