Determination

Hope you are having a wonderful morning!

I think a lot about what I write each week and how it can impact just one person. I feel fortunate to have the ability and platform to bring motivational and inspirational content each week.

I also hope to be real and transparent.

Today I wanted to talk about determination.

This day, July 7th is a tough day for me. I felt it starting last night and thankfully I have learned enough over these last four years to better cope with the after-effects I still feel from our sons’ birth.

I am so thankful for the wonderful outcome for us both, and that we can truly celebrate the miracle he is tomorrow! Big number 4!

His birth was 100% determination.

I was not giving up and neither was he.

And that’s life.

We get the opportunity each day to get up and do what we are called to do and impact other lives. I know I am here today to share stories of grit, falling down, getting back up.

That road postpartum was no joke.

And I’ll be real, has left an edge to me.

I am thankful it is softening as the years go on and I am starting to appreciate the experience. It has taken a while to be able to write this freely about it.

But one thing I have learned is we all have a journey inside of us. We all navigate hardship; we fall down and we get back up. The road is never easy.

Just like your health and wellness goals.

We start fresh each day and pick away at it, working out, eating well, and balancing life.

It always takes longer than any of us would like and it takes determination.

As we worked through the barbell complex this a.m. I kept telling myself, you are strong and capable. Then we got to the two minutes of cardio, I chose the assault bike for some fun reason, and I reminded myself of his 55-hour birth…2 minutes was nothing after that!

Ha…there’s positives right…hope you are smiling.

I want you to know you can do whatever you are working on. Keep getting up each day with determination and as always ask for help.

You do not have to travel this journey alone. We all need coaches pushing and motivating us.

We are an email away and please reach out anytime.

Get after your day!

Are You Ready…

Hope you had a good week this week.

At TFW we have been truly enjoying seeing our clients and NEW faces in our gym this week AND on our Virtual Workouts.

Love that we even have this opportunity, with virtual workouts.

The main theme right now is helping everyone get back into a rhythm. Its amazing what accountability and a schedule can do to help everyone get back on track. (Myself included!)

The thing we know is we serve high performers who have a ton of competing priorities. We are juggling our family, career, stress, anxiety, AND more.

Its tough, because we tend to always put ourselves last…or I’ll start next week…when the kids go back to school…

The list goes on.

One thing I know for certain, there will never be a perfect time, but there has never been a more important time for you to take care of you.

Not trying to harp on anyone, but I know this is true.

And its not as hard as we may think.

We help you simplify how to take care of you, despite all the competing priorities.

And dare I say our workouts are FUN? I think what is fun about it, is the relationships you build, the people you meet, the commonalities we all have.

Everyone struggles…EVERYONE.

But you don’t have to be alone. We give you a simplified approach so that all you need to do is show up and we take care of the rest. We will work through nutrition and honor where you are today, then help you get where you want to go.

Its never been a better time to join our program and you can attend in person, small groups…we are opening our workouts to SIX people as well as our Virtual Live Workouts. We have over 50 LIVE Workout Times between our in person and virtual times.

Shoot me a message back and we’ll get you started.

Have an amazing day today!

That feeling is contagious

We are back full swing in our gym, well not quite full swing but about 50% capacity and the energy is awesome.

I can’t tell you how amazing it is to see the smiling faces whether it is 5:45am or 6:45pm at night. Also, the virtual workouts are still going strong.

What a time we are living in and I am thankful we can still impact people, maybe just a tad different but most parts are pretty similar.

I know for myself these past months I have struggled to find any real motivation and we absolutely have so much more going on in our world. I am hopeful we are making huge changes.

I believe the biggest responsibility Tony and I have is to raise our kids right. We will lead by example everyday showing them how to treat people and how to serve others.

If you are struggling TFW is a safe place to come.

We will listen, encourage and find the best avenue for you to succeed. There is no one size fits all to our approach.

We have this amazing 28-Day Reset, Focus and THRIVE Post Lock Down Program going on and you can join in any Monday through the month of June.

It is never too late to start taking care of you and be the best you can be.

You deserve to feel good and when you do its amazing how you can give back to the world.

This world needs you.

Let’s do this and if you need help its not too late to get started.

Shoot me a message back if you want to get reset, focus and THRIVE!

We got you!

A simplified approach to getting ME back

Hope you are having a great day. I just finished a workout and it feels so good to get back in the gym (in a safe manner) and lift some weights. Today was deadlift day, which means it’s always a good day!

The feeling I had when I was driving to the gym was certainly tired. It was a bit early, but it’s about the only time I can successfully get a workout these days.

Listen, to say we have been stressed out is an understatement. I know you feel what we are feeling. Anxiety has been through the roof and I swear each day presents a new challenge. (Like the steering going out in our car…good times.)

The feeling when I drove home was accomplished, a smile, now the day can begin. I will honestly feel this way the rest of the day. And I’ll most likely be in bed by 9pm because, did i mention, it was deadlift day…

Joe DeSena the owner of Spartan Races said he always gets up and does 300 burpees each morning…because what could come at him in a day that is worse than 300 burpees?

I can’t think of anything.

I have talked about taking the first step. It is ALWAYS the hardest when doing anything new.

But it’s the most critical part.

I encourage you now more than ever to value your health. Take any underlying health concerns to heart and take the first step in a health and wellness program.

We make it easy, approachable, and all levels are welcome.

We put together a great 28-Day Reset, Focus and THRIVE Post Lock down Program to help you step by step get into a new routine.

You will have in person or virtual workouts! (or both)

Meal Plan, Grocery List and Recipe Guide! (Real Food, easy recipes)

Accountability (THIS IS WHAT WE NEED THE MOST!)

Daily Motivational Emails – Keep you pumped up

Private FB Group (Community and support)

Optional – Before/After Assessments (Numbers are great, but not everything – sometimes we just want to feel better and we get that.)

Join us, it’s $199.

We have a clean, safe, and friendly environment. We ALWAYS kept our classes small (no more than 10).

Shoot me a message back, let’s do this.

It’s never been a better time to take care of you.

Hope

I read this the other day and book marked it to share with you.

Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.

Loved this and had to tie it into my message for you today. We ALL have been experiencing some version of fear.

Fear of losing a loved one.

Fear of losing our job.

Fear of the unknown.

Hope is what can get us through when nothing else seems to matter.

I encourage you to wake up each day and be hopeful about our future. A lot has changed to say the least. What gives me strength each day is hope.

I have hope that we will continue to help people when it comes to their health and fitness.

Sure, the landscape has changed, but we don’t sit and wait to see what happens. We know we need to move our bodies, eat reasonably well and take care of our mental health.

It has never been more important for driven, high performers to take care of their health.

Have hope and today is a new day.

We are not promised tomorrow.

We can expect or desire certain things in our life, that’s hope.

What do you expect?

What do you desire?

Let’s make it happen.

Too much is at stake now, your health has never been more important.

Have hope, our future depends on it.

Refocus: Clarity, Energy, Necessity

Today I want to talk about getting refocused.

As we start to see things opening up, we will catch a glimpse of what our future has in in-store for us. This quarantine has been hard on everyone.

Schedules have drastically changed, moods all over, what was important may be obsolete.

This is our new normal.

We may feel we lost our focus, but it had to shift.

First, it is ok, we need to breathe and release what we were doing and focus on what we can do.

If you are beating yourself up or frustrated acknowledge the feelings. Then seek clarity.

Gain clarity on what you want.

For most of us we need to create space to dream again. We have been so focused on everything else, we have let ourselves go, listen it happens.

We have seasons of life and things had to shift. Gaining clarity on what you want going forward will help you see what’s next for you.

Then we need to generate energy.

Do we need to get back in a good sleep routine, nutrition cleaned up and some movement back in your life?

Then raise the necessity.

Its never been more important to take care of you. Schedules had to shift, focus or priorities had to shift, create the space to dream and decide what you want for your life going forward.

If you feel you have gotten off track with your health and wellness goals, number one its ok. Do not, I repeat do not, beat yourself up.

Seek clarity on what you want.

Generate the energy to do what you can.

Raise the need.

This is not easy and you don’t have to travel this road alone. We can help, whether it is virtually or soon from a safe and socially distant way in the gym.

Seeking clarity is one of the hardest things to do by yourself. Book a call to chat and see if now is the time to start taking care of you in some format or pass this message to a friend.

This journey has not been easy on any of us, but together we can move mountains.
