Everyone wants the absolutes. But with fitness, it's about the series of variables. So how does cardio and fat loss work? Cardio is one variable in your lifestyle equation. When the body gets consistency (low to moderate intensity), it begins to respond. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    The fitness industry does a lot of guessing. Some educated based on research, science and studies. And others just guess at the expense of your health. Your body was designed to adapt and recover. What can you do to move your body forward with consistency? Further, be specific and clear with your goals.  How do you want to look? How do you want to feel? Do you want to be a certain number on the scale? Do you want to be a certain size on the hanger? You could lose muscle and become a smaller version of yourself. Is that what you really want? Your lifestyle equation is comprised of a variety of variables. Strength/Resist

We focus more on what we don't have, instead of recognizing and utilizing what we do have. Take inventory. For example, let's go shopping! When you are out looking and buying things, what is your focus? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Overall, we focus on what we don't have. So when you are looking at what you don't have, that pair of jeans, it leads you to a new shirt, a new pair of shoes, a purse, and even more accessories.  But turn the tables and think.... I have a great pair of jeans and shoes to match. Maybe a new top would enhance exactly what I need the outfit to look like. Now to find the shirt.

Coming off of vacation, I was reminded how important it is to recharge your mind, body, and spirit. But we tend to over complicate the recharge process! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    In last week's episode #576 How to Synchronize Your Heart and Your Mind, we chatted about the 6 ways to accomplish this. You must take off your old self to become your best selfie. It's having your hearts and your minds focus of things above, not of earthly things.  To recharge your mind, body, and spirit, there are activities that help. And that one activity is writing.  Allow yourself to see the possibilities before the opportunities even present themselves. Some famous people you may have heard of (Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield) to name of few talk about writing out your goals. Research shows how writing pen to paper affects the outcomes of achieving your goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Write to connect your life's dots! Passi

The new school year is about to start. This is a fresh start. So dare not to compare. We not only do an injustice to ourselves, but we do it to our children; sometimes not even knowing it. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Let this year be the fresh start, not just for you, but for your children. If your child is good at something: Don't assume it's the right opportunity again. Discuss the goals and aspirations of what your child wants. Decide what is best for this year. If your child isn't good at something: Don't assume the same thing will happen this year.  Put in place measures to prevent the "bad". Find the brighter possibility. Encourage and set boundaries. The K.I.S.S. ~ Dare not to compare! Let go of what happened last year. Look for the possibilities. Seize the opportunities. A new school year brings about a new adventure. It's a new chapter and you get to choose the characters and the stor

In becoming a mama for the first time, it never crossed my mind that iron sharpens iron. My children sharpen me.  My children have taught me so much. Those times when I have flashbacks as if I'm looking directly in a mirror. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    As moms, we tend to miss the boat on how much we are being taught because we are always teaching, nurturing and serving. The opportunity to grow personally can actually be exponentially magnified when you allow yourself to be sharpened by your children. Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Honestly, we look at mentors, parents, coaches, teachers, and pastors to sharpen us.  How can our children sharpen us?  When you give yourself permission, humbling yourself and truly acknowledging what you don't know, the door of greatness open further. God gave you your children to teach you more! The life lessons we only get when

You might think that you can store up strength, energy, goodness, even exercise. But what it takes is for you to restore daily. The only thing that's stored easily is fat. And even that has it's limitations. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    So as you are beginning your day, in the middle of your day, you need to pursue your schedule, your opportunities to restore daily. You build your lifestyle daily! There's no cramming for life like we used to cram for exams. It takes consistent daily efforts to get you where you want to go. Restore daily! Now this thought can actually give you greater hope. You don't have to do it all in one day, even though growing up you seemed to be able to accomplish these feats.  Anything worth having takes work; diligent, consistent effort and energy on your part. Restore daily! What have you been trying to rush through, cram for in your life? Your business. Your education. Your

Are you trying to escape the feeling, "I'm too bloated, I could just die!"? Whether it's that time of the month, or anytime during the day, being bloated makes you and everyone else uncomfortable. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    You aren't feeling good. In fact, you might be feeling fat, unattractive, insecure and just plain "blah". So what can you do about this problem of being bloated? Being bloated is your body reacting to your lifestyle.  It's the red flag that's flown at the beach. But honestly, most of us ignore it. We would rather carry on how we are comfortable doing life, than make change to necessitate goodness from the inside out. Habits die hard. Now this chat is not to make you feel guilty. but if you are saying, "I'm too bloated, I could just die!", than listen carefully. Pass this on to your family and girlfriends. When we say we're bloated, it's actually our body this is inflamed. The in

Stop for just a moment. Clear your thoughts. Allow yourself to fee the beat of your heart. Just breathe! Something that comes so easy, we take for granted. But it's moments when your blood pressure is rising. Your face is feeling hot slowly turning red. Just breathe! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    You can stop time today if you pause for just seconds and just breathe! This may seem hokey to you. But there is a reason why something so easy can be so fragile all at the same time. Without breath, there's no life. So call out to yourself today. Feel the breath move throughout your body, rejuvenating and renewing you at the cellular level. This is what it means to have self love. Taking the minutes to embrace who you are at a given moment. Maybe your day or week has been challenging. And it's all you can do to hold yourself together. Just breathe! Let go of what you can't control. Just breathe! The K.I.S.S.

If you want to control every aspect of your life, you must learn how to synchronize your heart and your mind. And really, it can be the hardest thing you ever do. It takes work, lots of energy, focus and determination. Because as you go through life, things of this world will try to distract and derail you. You'll be let sitting there, a quandary, what's next?  Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Is this really all life has to offer me? When you synchronize your heart and your mind, the world is your oyster. Nothing is impossible. It's glorious! Colossians 3:1-3  "1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." If you are living your days with only the mind, or only the heart, it's like driving with a flat

Life is full of roller coasters. Big ones and some even bigger! Even though you can be having fun or challenged by your days, there comes a point where you thirst. Are you in the desert? The thirst for water that rejuvenates the soul. The thirst that can't be quenched without the goodness, the love and the grace of God. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    For me, the busyness can induce chaos and upset my day where I forget to even include Christ in it. As the day lingers to night, the frustration builds. The guiltiness of not having success weighs heavy on my heart. Are you in the desert? Maybe you're searching for something better. An opportunity to soar on wings like eagles. But when you do it alone, it becomes evident; you're in the desert. A land that has no peace, always wanting more than what you have. Concerned for others yet exhausted to care for you. The dull ache becomes stronger and the spirit w

With school around the corner (some of you may have already started), your schedule is becoming bottlenecked too fast. Relax! You go from freedom, no specific schedule, to every hour being spelled out to what must be accomplished. It's even happening in the schools. The whole day is planned out; no room for spontaneity. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    So on this sizzle Saturday, I want you to relax. Don't plan anything. Don't over schedule yourself. Sleep in. Stay all day in your pajamas. Have a movie day. Don't fret over the perfect eating plan and getting the exercise done. RELAX! Focus on each other. Give attention to what deserves your greatest attention. And that's your family. You might have to think about relax as not only a verb in doing, but as the noun to schedule. We over schedule ourselves, especially our children. There's nothing better at rejuvenating your mind, your body, and your spirit

Our children have a way of pushing our buttons. They get under our nerves and keeping your cool can become the battle. It's exhausting. It's draining. You're playing referee. Nothing is accomplished when you and your child is battling against one another. Part of this is human nature. Our ego says we want to be right. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    But as a parent, it's more than being right! You are raising a child to be who she/he was created to be. That's a huge responsibility. A huge undertaking! It's hard for us to understand what raising a child really entails. We think we know. But until you have the child, the reality doesn't kick in. Keeping your cool can be mesmerizing. Parenting itself can be overwhelming. Am I doing it right? What can I be doing differently? It's crazy! Sometimes you wonder how you get through the day. Keeping your cool becomes easier when you focus on your role as a parent

I want you to pause. Think about something that makes you smile bringing you a sense of warmness filling your heart with contentment. Winning in the moment. Maybe it's ocean breezes and a gorgeous sunrise. The snuggles time with your little ones. The quietness of the night where every creek in the floor can be heard. The moment as your husband softly and gently caresses your hand and holds you tight. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    As you day gets more hectic and more weight is placed on your shoulders, what do you do? Sink into the world or create impact by winning in the moment. If you always see the bigger picture, it's a quick way to fall into overwhelm. You know there is much to do. But trying to absorb that pressure and stress you place upon yourself can throw you for a loop. So let's put a twist on it. Turning things around to work for you not against you and that's winning in the moment. "Instea

Eating healthy on the go can be a tremendous challenge. The temptation of yummy foods that trigger your hunger make you question why you eat what you eat. It's really not fair at all. And that sweet tooth is even tougher. The convenience is so tempting. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Can you really eat healthy on the go? Yes you can! However, it does take a little more effort on your part. Preparation starts in the kitchen and on your phone. When you are eating healthy on the go, you need to know where you are going and for how long. So let's break that down into categories. Eating on the go can happen at work, while shopping, going to the movies, outdoor recreation activities, takeout, and vacation. The K.I.S.S. ~ Eating healthy on the go is simply if you... PREPARATION begins in the kitchen and on your phone. PORTABILITY is key to your success in what you can eat. Must be east to pack, and watch the

When your day gets long and drawn out, your voice echoes victory. Initially, you might be hearing squeals and squeaks hoping to drown out your weariness. Your voice echoes victory. When the days seem longer than the nights, hold your heart and let it pound with gratitude. The squeals and squeaks can be irritating, but it doesn't need to consume you. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Open up your mind, body, and spirit and let your light shine bright. When the junk hits the fan, let it fall. You trying to pick up all the pieces will only increase your frustration causing you to hunker down. Giving up is not an option. How can you let your beauty and goodness be diminished? You are fearfully and wonderfully made. That's a pretty amazing description of who you are. No you may not be feeling it. In fact, it might be simpler to focus on the junk. It takes less energy. But have no fear, your voice echoes victor

Are you ready to take flight? The sky is the limit. When you choose to see the possibilities. Nothing is impossible! As your day kicked off, the to-dos, the lists, the domestic beauties (chores), you begin to align your schedule organizing your day on what you wanted to focus on. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    I want you to focus on your schedule. How do you feel thinking about it? Tense - Relaxed. Nervous - Calm. Frustrated - Excited. Zone in on those feelings. Do your feelings give you an enlightening presence? What this does to you helps you understand if your mindset is of abundance.  The sky is the limit! "Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into." ~ Wayne Dyer You are going to see the goodness, the greatness in what is happening. Optimistic. Encourageable. When you tap into the abundance mindset, you see the "cans" and leave the nos, nots and nevers. Look at a challenge

There is nothing more frustrating than wanting something so bad, but the needle doesn't seem to be moving. You are at a stand still desiring to get going. But the goodness of waiting is upon you. How are you feeling today? Are you really embracing the presence of the day? Or do you prefer to stay in the busyness mode running yourself in the ground? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    I can't help but think that we stay busy for fear of what we might not be doing. Therefore, we would be accountable for it. But the reverse of that is waiting; allowing yourself to be quiet. The goodness of waiting. Lamentations 3:25-26  "The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." Keeping ourselves trapped in the rat race can actually be how we receive hope. This doesn't make sense as we just briefly think about it. But with thorough, deep

Age seems to be a definite factor in how we live our lives. It helps us define what we can or cannot do. And when it comes to your children, how much does age contribute to your activity? Is getting older hurting your children?  And not because they are getting older, but you are. My sons absolutely love games. For them, spending time together is playing games. Now that seems like an easy enough task for me to handle. But gaming is not my forte. I crash before I blink! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    They don't care about my crashing. They want me there cheering them on, laughing hysterically because I can't play and just having fun with them. Yet how I view it...I'm not good at it. There's nothing I can do to make me a better player. So why waste their time and get them frustrated because of my inabilities to play games? Do you hear the two different tones to what my sons verses what I see? The want mo
