Diane Be Fit

Thursday’s thought! Stop giving other people the responsibility for YOUR life. It’s 100% your choices.  It’s all about what you do that matters most. If you’re not seeing the changes that you want to see in your life then you need to change some things.

Here’s a powerful word for you: It starts in your thoughts because your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your character, and your character becomes your destiny.

Take responsibility - do better!

Consistency is a major factor in your health! It’s not about what you do here and there, starting and stopping, yo-yo dieting, in and out of the gym, falling off the wagon…. In 18 years as a fitness instructor, I’ve heard every excuse possible! Excuses don’t burn calories, when it comes to personal training with me, excuses burn bridges. Being consistent in your diet and exercise routine is the only way to get healthy, be healthy and stay healthy. There is no magic pill, no magic shake, no shaker weight or waist band that will do it. It’s diet and exercise. That’s it. Now you know, so you can send me your $19.95 because you just got a truthful answer! 🤣🤣

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing everyone a healthy, fit, happy holiday!!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving meal then go for a nice walk for balance! 😎😎

Did you know if you go out and walk 4 miles once a week in four weeks you will have done more than a half marathon!!!

Exercise has so many wonderful benefits!! Make a quality decision today to incorporate exercise in your daily routine❤️

Today is your day!!! Make it a great one! Go for a walk or a run if you can! Just get up and move!! Go outside in the sunshine, a natural source of Vitamin D!! Be healthy minded! You can do some very simple and easy things every day that will make a huge impact in your life. Go for a walk, eat a ripe juicy apple, get some sunshine, take a nap, say a prayer, and find 10 things in your life that you’re thankful for. Just a few simple steps that promote a positive attitude with a healthy outcome!

Have a wonderful day and a great weekend ❤️

Get out there and make it happen!!!! 28.6 miles last week! 65 years old - stronger, healthier, wealthier, happier, more blessed than ever before!!!! Don’t make excuses! Make progress. Invest in your health!!!! You are so worth it!! Have a super day!! ❤️❤️

So tonight I held my plank for 6 minutes! While that’s good, I have held 7. See I dropped off planking regularly. My last half marathon run I held a 9 minute mile all the way. In my last leisure run last Sunday I ran 10:32 because I had slacked off competitive running! What’s the point here? You will loose what you don’t use. Stay consistent! Keep pushing! Keep challenging yourself!! I’m back to planking will have my 7 minutes back by next week. Back to competitive running too. Running a half marathon in Dallas this December, the weekend before my 65th birthday. I’ll never grow old or weak only wiser and stronger. The joy of the Lord is my strength! 💪🏻❤️❤️

I love everything about Sunday - from Sunday praise to Sunday lunch to Sunday football and my Sunday long run. According to Runkeeper this was my 2nd longest run, weighted run. Keep pushing, when things get tough, push harder, keep challenging yourself to be and do better. Today has been a great day 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️❤️

Pushing for it! 11 pounds down 24 to go. Will be the best shape of my life for December marathon in Dallas to celebrate turning 65! Age is nothing but a number 🎉🎉😎

Recently, I have received several calls about personal training for the summer. Right now I do not have availability but will possibly have 2 openings for Yazoo in June. In Yazoo I train at TCTI Fitness with Jeff N Kayla Curtis. Several have asked if you have to be a member of the gym to train and the answer to that is technically no, but you would have to sign a waiver and pay a daily fee. However my recommendation is if you’re going to do this and be serious and consistent about it your gym membership should be a priority and in my opinion, it is a necessity.

I have also been asked about other “personal trainers” and I do not offer my opinions on other trainers and whether they are or are not certified, but it is definitely my recommendation that you work with someone who is educated and carries the necessary credentials to get the best results and reduce liability. Experience is good, but the best results require experience and education because everyone is not the same and what works for one does not necessarily work for all, that’s a huge misnomer in the fitness world.

Jeff and Kayla are elite forces in the fitness business and I have been a trainer with them since they have been in the fitness business here in Yazoo City.  I highly recommend their gym and any questions that you might have about my qualifications or the gym they would be happy to answer.

Currently, I have 6 levels of certifications in the fitness realm- Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Step Aerobics Instructor, Certified Spin Instructor, Certified Kickboxing Instructor, Certified Group Class Instructor and I am a Certified Sports Nutritionist. I am currently working on two advanced certifications (spin and group) that I will have completed by the end of June. I am also a Critical Care Paramedic and my medical background helps ensure your safety. Lastly and most importantly, I am a faith based instructor and life coach. Health is from the inside out not the outside in. Many people can look great on the outside and be completely unhealthy on the inside. I have a strong belief in walking the walk and not just talking to talk. I will go ahead and admit it, I am a tough trainer and I do not sugarcoat. I do not allow you to make excuses and justifications for not doing what you have agreed to do and what I know you are capable of doing, so please consider all of these before you consider hiring me as your Personal Trainer.

If you would like a taste of the type of exercises that I emphasize the most, I am teaching Thursday night at 5:30. Feel free to drop in and experience one of my classes. All classes are free to members, and any nonmember can sign a waiver and pay a guest fee to join a class.

If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out anytime.

Have a beautiful day!🩷
