Hello, all! Today, I will bring you MY favorite fitness things of 2015. This year I lost around 18 pounds and gained a STRONG BRAIN! Boom! One of the things that used to bring my brain and body down was my addiction to sugars! I mean m&m's in the large bag downed in one sitting. So my FIRST favorite thing of 2015 has to go to QUEST Bars! Quest Bars are packed with REAL ingredients and as little as 1 gram of sugar per bar. You can bake these little suckers, or pop em' into your smoothies. (Quest also sells protein powders) When I have the need for sugary sweets-I go to my cabinet and grab a Quest Bar. My favorite is the Oreo flavor. Full of protein, tastes like a cookie and has almost zero sugar...🙋🏾yes please. Quest Bars have been my go to all year. Highly recommend to anyone.

Vulnerability.

Alright, today I am choosing vulnerability.I am currently working with the person that helped me bring #InsanityLive to all of you and a network of great people-coaches to be exact, who are sharing their stories.I am so inspired day-in and day-out by the people I have met in the fitness industry. That's including students; past and present. My "fitness story" has far less to do with weight loss and much more to do with my well-being mentally. My body, of course, suffered from my poor decision making, lack of interest in life and self-destructive behavior. I did not believe this world was benefiting from my life. I could see only that I was bad...that I made everything worse. The only thing I believed were negative thoughts and the emptiness I felt. I made attempts on my life and ...maybe that's too much information for you. But, how can I help someone out of the dark if I let them believe they are stuck there?Anyway, for whatever reason...this "world" I believed to be better without me, kept me around. Then I started exercising. It was the only thing I could FEEL.I had been so numb. I did Shaun T's Insanity, I did T25, I ran and I did everything to work the pain out. Day, after day, I would zone out of the workout and begin to cry..but I just wanted to make it through SOMETHING that day.It kept me going for months.. Maybe even years until I collapsed. My mind was just too big of a monster. I was hospitalized and came out *brand new.* I did some intensive therapy and I looked to martial arts to fuel my spirit; as it always had before. Then I found Insanity Max 30. This is not to say a bunch of people didn't help me along the way, because they did. It also doesn't mean therapy didn't help, because it absolutely changed me. But what REALLY changed ...what REALLY made me stop and THINK"Why am I doing this? Why am I still trying?" The moment Shaun T looks into the camera during some crazy tricep dip circuit and says, "It's from within you! So how are you gonna do it? It's MORE than just exercise, it's YOUR LIFE!" I am changed forever. It gets me every time. I remember the first time I heard it and I was already in tears. From that second forward, I CHOSE TO STAY. I chose to BELIEVE that I was worth the work because I didn't want anyone else to ever feel the way I felt. Sure, I lost weight and my body can do super cool jumpy things...but it was about that moment when I created a new groove in my brain. That second that I made a conscious decision to train my brain. That meant when I wanted to quit, I had to keep moving. It may sound silly, knowing I was working out...but I took that moment with me everywhere and every day. I live that phrase.I make damn sure I work everyday to keep myself up...to keep the fire burning inside of me. Because I want to ignite YOU. I want YOU to know how freaking AWESOME you are when you don't believe it and I want to reinforce that amazing energy when you DO believe it. That's why I choose to be a BeachBody coach. That's why I choose to teach Live classes and that's why I'm here today. To me, exercise is not losing weight or looking good...it's LIFE. #fitspiration#ifeelsick#iloveyou#wecandothis#fitness#brittfit#teambeachbody#findyourMAX

If you're not SMILING and ENJOYING yourself, you're doing it wrong. We are all aware not all exercise is fun, or enjoyable... But if you treat your workout as something FUN...as a REWARD...you will reach your goals and you will find it easier to keep moving,

Sometimes exercising alone can be too much! Grab a buddy! Find a group fitness class! Just get in there and start changing your life! It's not about SKINNY, It's about HEALTHY.

All you have to do is START.

BrittFit! Tips :)

Just some reminders for you! Remember that any amount of time spent exercising is better than NO time spent exercising! Try not to over do it! Praise yourself! Rest when you're tired and then get back in it. If it's TOO EASY you're not challenging yourself and that means you're not changing. You're awesome!

LITTLE REMINDER #008: Just because something is low in calories, it is not necessarily healthy. Remember your body uses (energy) calories every second you are alive.
