Think Positive!




When I began to exercise after my pregnancy, I always saw the trouble. A very smart man told me that to transform my body I must see only the good. “You must always be positive, because your body can only do what your brain sees.”

Here are some transformative thoughts to have - Remember you’re always choosing either one. Choose wisely!


Instead of trouble I began to see opportunity
Instead the negative, see positive
Instead of bad, see the good
Instead of can’t, say can
Instead of hope, say I will
Instead of self-doubt, feel self-confident
Instead of second-guessing myself, I trust myself.
Instead of dwelling on my mistakes, I accept them and move ahead.
Instead of kicking myself for my last shot, I think about my next shot
Instead of worrying about what could go wrong, I focus on what I do right
Instead of being self-critical, I give myself the benefit of the doubt.
Instead of pondering my weaknesses, I assert my strengths.
Instead of thinking of what my body is not, I think of what my body can do.


The resolution is to see the opportunity instead of trouble. 
Confidence is everything.  From there, it’s a small step to winning.

Client Spotlight: A new perspective is all it takes!

  I have been overweight all of my life. At a young age, I often stopped playing early in games that required heavy running and movements as it pained to do these activities for long.  The fear of being ridiculed or being excluded from activities sometimes forced me into pushing myself which was not necessarily a bad thing because it allowed me to get in some form of exercise. I was the only overweight child in the house which made it difficult for my parents.  They often felt that putting one on a diet while the rest were free to eat what they wanted was somewhat cruel.  I am of Caribbean background and I can honestly say that eating home cooked meals was considered to be healthy despite the amount of carbs on your plate.  Eating unhealthy meant that you were eating burgers, pizza, fried chicken etc…. but if the chicken was fried in the same dwelling you rested your head… it some how was regarded as healthy.  This was the dilemma. Around the age of 12 my p...

Train the mind the body will follow

I find that often times my actions do not match what I believe. I find that I often preach to others what they should be doing but in review of my actions, I am doing something completely different and sometimes even opposite.    I came to the realization that the reason behind this problem was that I was living to please others. What does that mean? I was busy caring about everyone else’s feelings and disregarding mine. I used to overextend myself, doing anything anyone asked to honor their feelings. I did not want anyone to think I was not nice or that I was selfish.   Losing weight is not that complicated. The formula for weight loss is actually quite simple, however we humans tend to like to complicate things. We make it even more complicated when we approach it with the need for instant gratification.    After working one on one with many clients and talking to hundreds of people through the years, I think I can say with some authority that the fa...
