Bella Diva Fitness-Laura DalSanto

I saw this ancient yet so TRUE quote the other day on a beautiful friend of mine’s IG page 💜 Who by the way I met a year ago here on IG and instantly connected ✨ She is another absolutely beautiful soul who inspires on the daily.

Anywhoo… it really made me think…

This statement is SO powerful & true yet you or I still will think gosh maybe it is better to have X or to look X or whatever X BUT how do you know that other “thing” is truly happy or healthy or REAL???

It destroys our mental & physical health. Literally.

So I’m reminding YOU NOW. Use what you have & water it daily with love, self pep talks, eating healthy foods, moving daily…doing things you LOVE 💜 Laughing!!!!

I promise ya… your grass is gonna be Greener🌱🌱

Just like anything else, getting started is the hard part but once you feel it grow you will keep going 🦋

Happy Thursday Bella Diva

It’s a new month & 1/2 way through 2022 😆
I decided to share 5 new things about me that are not related to food or fitness 🥰 for any new followers this year.

💜I am 43 years old. Some days my mind & joints feel that but honestly I still feel 23 only a much more mature & wiser version 😉
💜I LOVE living in Naples Fl. The bright blue water, the fluffiest clouds & the most vibrant colors in nature. I am Originally from Maryland. The bright warm weather is literally a mood changer for me. I have loved Here for 18 years
💜 I truly have a 6th sense of feeling the energy of others. A strong sense of intuition & listening. It’s one of my super powers ⚡️ (One of the reasons I’m so connected to all my clients 🤍)
💜 I grew up dancing so I have a built in competitive switch. I have had to learn to control that as I have gotten older & especially when I was diagnosed with Addisons disease. Don’t get me wrong… I can get loud when it comes to a game of Uno with the fam 😂 but physically I have had to change that and it definitely was not easy.
💜 Last, I LOVE to sweat. I love to sweat when working out. My favorite sweat is when I’m on my mat. Yoga mat. Yoga is a physical sweat but it is more of an emotion. My grounding. Sweating through powerful meaningful poses that speak to me in my life are the best sweat. During the toughest times in my life my yoga sweat has saved me. It reminds me I can walk through any firing flames and survive on the other side.

Happy June 🌴

I have said it hundreds of times…and I will continue to tell you….
STOP Dieting
STOP Restricting
STOP Torturing Yourself

It IS possible to live a forever healthy lifestyle & still enjoy foods that make you happy & satisfied.

First step: You must believe & trust! Just like any new chapter you start.
2nd….. well that’s how I can help you 😉
To create a lifestyle plan that works for YOU

Stop restricting & start enjoying ☯️
.

Said NO ONE EVER who wants to live a feel great look great happy healthy life ☯️

Do you still know someone who feels this way?

If so maybe you can encourage & show someone that eating healthy is actually tasty & moving their body will melt all the stresses away ⚡️

Happy Wednesday Bella Diva 💜
Lift someone else up today 🦋

Well No WAY 🤯😝 Your kidding?

Haven’t you heard me by now?
❌STOP DIETING ❌

What is your biggest struggle with eating healthy?

🥑 You Don’t know what to make?
🧀 You make Foods “not allowed”
🥙 You need help with time blocking?
🌮Maybe you have habits you need to break & create new thought patterns?

I got ya! These are all easy fixes.

Give me one of your favorite foods below and let me give you an easy healthy idea on how to make it Divalicious 🤩

.
.
.
.
.

“Be Yourself. Who else can you be?
It takes less effort & energy to be yourself, BUT it also takes courage.”

All my expressions here are definitely my real authentic self.
From just needing to sit alone in deep thoughts or laughing hysterically loud because I can be dramatic 😆 to just being content.

One rule in the diva zone (my studio) between myself & ALL my clients is:
We share what’s going on. Our true authentic selves.
Good or Terrible. Joyful or Sad.
It let’s each of us know we are human & ALL of us has or are going through a battle or struggle.
I believe as we get older we feel more confident to live authentically.

So if you feel like you haven’t been then know it is OKAY to make the shift at anytime.
The more you do it the easier it gets 💟

Happy Thankful Thursday Bella Diva

😂 Great Question 🤣

No but seriously… it really is what you eat & what you don’t eat and a few other ingredients to help slim down your waist line.

Sometimes it could just be one simple change.
The biggest request I get when it comes to new exercises is one for “Abs”

Doing core workouts are definitely great for getting your core & back stronger and definitely creating more toned muscles but until you eat a little healthier & reduce the sugar you consume your “abs” will remain the same 😆

Happy Tasty Tuesday 🥙🥝🧀🌮🍑

Just a little Fit Diva reminder ⚡️

This week has been a little more hectic for myself & for many other women I know.
I will always encourage you to move through the madness.
It doesn’t have to be your best or your hardest, but just move.
I promise you you will feel better when you move the stress away 😉

Happy Fit Friday Bella Diva 💜
.
.
.
.
.

Do you have a daily routine?
Morning? Evening?
What is something you must do daily?

YES of course I do 💁🏻‍♀️😆
Without one I would be ping pinging around and I would start my day feeling lost and then…well then nothing would go right.

Every morning (yes even on vacation) I start my day sitting for 10-15 minutes with my coffee waking up & thinking.
Then my face regimen routine, little make up, pull my hair up & then… I have a 10-15 stretch routine EVERY morning.
Daily habits really do set you up for success & the best part you can start ANY time.

Ok then I make breakfast for hubby & I. Leave myself 20-30 minutes to get anything else accomplished before I see clients!

FACT: Change Your Routine Change Your World 💫

Happpyyyyy Thursday 💜

You gotta zoom in to see what I see 💜

It’s one of “my” power words DIVA

In ancient Roman time, when a woman was given the title “Diva” it was a sign of a powerful & influencing woman.
A Woman of Value 🌟

Honestly the most important part of what I do isn’t the sweating or physical strength or the healthy food ideas it IS helping every single women I get to help become mentally stronger & to be sure they feel like a Woman of Value 💎

Someone once said to me… I don’t consider myself as a diva & I think you should change your logo 🙄

I love the word Diva & if your a hard working woman who knows what she wants… I think that’s a pretty darn Amazing description ⚡️

Happy Fit Friday to you Bella Diva 💜

And I promise these are the last pics from Italy for a while 😉

What makes you feel beautiful? Drop me a 💜 if you feel the same.

I know if I steer off my regular routine too long I definitely do not feel healthy which ultimately makes me feel blah and results in not feeling confident ☯️

I do not live an all or nothing life.
I mostly eat healthy. Workout regularly because I like the way it makes me feel (& look of course)

That’s why it’s SO easy for me not to go off too much while I’m away on vacation & when I’m back I just go back to my regular routine.

Yes I ate lotsa of delicious bread, pizza, pasta, gelato. But a lot to me is just more than I would normally do. I don’t eat til I feel sick. I ENJOY it.

It takes practice & habits. The great news…. You can start that ANY time in your life⭐️

Happy Thursday 🌴

New week vibe ⚡️

You feed your body good healthy foods 🍓🥑 to feel great & perform better on all levels.
Don’t forget to Feed your mind & soul good thoughts so you feel happier & more positive on a daily basis.
Whenever something goes wrong or if I’m just in a “mood” and I’m about to think negative I have learned to say in my head…

-Watch your thoughts they become words…
-Watch your words they became actions…
-Watch your actions they become habits…

It works! Try it next time 💜

Happy new week

Ohhhhh my “Diva” look 😏. Some may call it a resting bi$ch face… I call it the look of being Unstoppable-Fierce-Strong & my absolute favorite power word….Tenacious 💪🏽

Who else feels the same? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

It’s SO true. I know I feel this way often and I see it on a daily basis with my ladies.

They will come into my studio feeling blah, or think they can’t get it done today AND poof… just like that 💥 they leaving feeling energized both physically & emotionally⚡️

So if your blah or having a not so great day….MOVE your body because it really does move out that stank stagnant blahness & creates feeling amazingness ⭐️⭐️

Oh just a few affirmations I like to say on the daily 💪🏽

What are yours?

Oh just two Fit Chicks from Maryland sippin our Matcha on this gorgeous day in paradise 🍵🌴

When you meet someone for the first time and you both look at each other and say….

We Are Going to be Friends 💕

Yep, true story years ago. We may not see each other as often as we would like but when we do 💥💥💥

Happy
.

Every time I see this cute yet true quote it makes me say…Yep 🥦🧁

The ol’ 80-20 rule does work.
You can have balance..but Balance without guilt. That’s the key.

I hope you know eating healthy & even more importantly the right portion of healthy isn’t that difficult.
Plan-Prepare & Enjoy your favorite sweet treat from time to time.

Nothing like a Monday to start something new🍓🧀🥬🍕🍋💪🏽

~The passion for stretching yourself & sticking to it, even or especially when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset.~

I am always trying to inspire or teach you ways to stretch & strengthen your body, but what needs to be stretched & strengthen more?…..YES your mindset.

And that is the true challenge ⭐️

When it’s not going as planned or as quick as you would like… apply that to any health/fitness or personal goal you have…
Take a moment & ask yourself why?
Is it something you can change? And if the answer is no. Then just stick to your plan & stretch your mindset 😉✨

YES YOU DO 💪🏽💜

Positive Affirmations do work.
Say this out loud & have the best weekend bella diva 💟

Success is the harmony of:
💜Purpose
🤍Resilience
💜Joy

Days when I don’t feel like I’m successful or gaining moment or moving onto something “more” these 3 powerful words pop up in my head.

Am I living my purpose ☑️
Am I Resilient ☑️☑️
Am I Giving & Receiving Joy 💯

I hope these words bring a smile & joy to your day.

More Sweat-Less Stress are just some of the vibes I’m bringing into this new year 🌟

Living in a warm weather area in the winter & wearing bright colors definitely helps me to stay motivated to move daily. Thought I would share some bright light with ya!!!

How are you going to sweat more & stress less? Lemme know ⬇️

Me: wake up 20 minutes early every morning to either get in a mental mile & to be sure I pencil in “me time” weekly because a hard working woman deserves it☯️☺️
