THINspiration Thursday

Alright, it's March 1st y'all. Getting your sexy back doesn't happen overnight. Depending on how far off the wagon you fell over the holidays will determine the kind of goals you should be setting to get beach-body ready by summer. Now I know most of you are saying, "Umph, this body is going nowhere near the beach, let alone a bathing suit."

If that's you, I'm talking to YOU. The majority of you. The ones that sadly aren't comfortable in your own skin. The ones that loathe a body part so much that you miss out on experiences in life. The ones that keep doing the same ol' thing, expecting different results. The one that yesterday keeps saying tomorrow.

I know a lot of people have a hard time finding motivation because they get discouraged that they'll never look like the girls in magazines. Screw the girls in the magazine. They've never had kids. Are airbrushed to the max. Have spray tanned abs. Spend 5 hours/day in the gym.

You need to set realistic goals for yourself. Maybe you just want to lose the jiggle in your underarm. Want a firmer booty. To lose 10 pounds. To feel more energized. You must set realistic goals for YOU and lead a lifestyle that is conducive to achieving the goals (and vision) you want. You also must get your mind right. I truly believe that if you follow the ABC's you will find a new found confidence in yourself that is hiding behind all that holiday leftovers --

ATTITUDE: You must have the right attitude from the moment you start. Develop a success-orientated attitude and avoid negativity at all costs. If you can get your significant other to embrace this same attitude, it will make things a lot easier. Wake up everyday with a commitment to stick with it.  

ACCEPTANCE:  You must accept the fact that this isn't going to happen overnight. Fat loss is hard and just as it slowly crept on over the last 6 months, it will take that much time, if not more, to get it off. Once you accept that you need to give it time, it ultimately makes the journey a lot easier.

ACTION: You must take action and apply what you know you need to do, because until you do it, it really doesn't matter what you know. Love this quote below - so true. Don't be the one left behind.


BELIEF: You must believe that you will succeed and attain the beach body you want for the summer. As the saying goes 'You must believe it, if you want to achieve it.' And that doesn't mean if you don't have shredded abs and ripped biceps that you've failed.

CONSISTENCY: You MUST be consistent with your training and nutrition. Summer season will be here in approximately 13 weeks, which is enough time to make significant changes in your body, provided you are consistent with your training and nutrition from now onwards. There's no room for major errors. Small mistakes will happen, but repeated mistakes or major slip-ups are not acceptable.

If you're looking for a way to jumpstart you into action, I encourage you to look into my Ultimate Body products. They will transform your body, give you more energy and build lean muscle by summer!

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...

CHICKEN NUGGETS anyone??

If this doesn't stop you from going through the drive thru - then we have quite a bit of work to do! "Mechanically Separated Chicken" is the actual name for this pink paste that looks nothing like chicken. Eventually this pink paste will be shaped into little boots, fried and placed in Happy Meals around the world!
