Did you know that research shows that high cortisol levels are closely linked to an increase in belly fat? Our cortisol levels are the highest 30 minutes after we wake up in the morning and should start to decrease after 3 pm. However, this is not the case for all of us, especially type A personalities and high achievers...true story unfortunately.
.
.
.
There are things we can do, however, to lower our cortisol levels like meditation and yoga, deep breathing exercises, regular undisturbed sleep, a power nap during the day, just to name a few...and certain herb adaptogens that keep hormones like adrenaline , cortisol, and the endocrine system balanced are vital for reducing belly fat.

Cortisone impacts every other hormone in the body and throws it out of whack. DM me for more details @C2healthsupply and follow us for daily tips on ant-aging.

It’s a hamstring/glute circuit...time to get ready for Spring right around the corner 💥

Great recipe sent to me by a client! The only thing I would change is adding more protein per serving! Calls for 3 turkey slices per serving snd I would add in at least one more.

Testimonial from a nutrition client who was tellling me this over the phone and I said”hey, can you write this down? I love what I’m hearing!”
It’s about having energy and enjoying food by knowing how to combine meals. #educateyourself

I’ve always been a runner, in fact, a sprinter, when it comes to dealing with HARD and especially anything dealing with my emotions and vulnerability. Can anyone relate?
Oh here comes vulnerability...see ya 💥bam I’m outa here 💥
.
.
.
Someone in my life once said to me, a zebra doesn’t change its stripes, you’ll always be a runner. 😡
This is not true and don’t let anyone tell you that you’ll never change. We can change if we are aware of our character defects and we all have them.
.
.
.
The first step is seeing the patterns that aren’t serving us well. The second step is hard because it involves feeling 😫
We must recognize the emotion causing the disfunction and actually feel it.
We can “ run” from healing in so many different ways: keeping ourself so busy that we don’t have time to deal with the pain, pushing people out of our life that are there to help us with our healing, addictions that put a temporary band-aid on our emotions, whether through chemicals, food, etc.
.
.
.
Step three is trusting one “safe” person with this area of healing and allowing them in a loving snd non-judgemental way hold us accountable. This is part of our growth and it’s vulnerable and necessary @bdanelsonfashiongroup ❤️
.
.
.
My mantra for today: Even though I want to run from certain situations out of fear, I completely and wholeheartedly love myself enough to stop the cycle and I’m getting stronger every day as I trust the courage it takes to be vulnerable and feel the pain I’ve run away from for so long, knowing that pain leads to growth. I AM stronger because of this...so be it 💥

My new nutrition clients Zack and Beth just lost 7.5 and 10 lbs respectively and while eating carbs 😱...and it’s a lot more food than you think! They both have more energy and feel satisfied because they are learning what works for them individually. If we learn to “listen” to our body, it will tell us what it needs. Intuitively, we all know when we are doing something to support our health and when we aren’t. It’s not about self-judgement though, it’s about discernment💥
DM me for details or go to my website c2fitnessandnutrition.com
It’s time to be healthy ❤️

To get a testimonial such as this is why I do what I do! We have collaboratively strengthened her low back along with her abs and hips and Leigh is a much happier version of herself. 💥

This came up in my FB memories this morning and just what I was having a conversation about with a client @teeniekunz whom I’m so grateful to have in my life ❤️
.

“I’ve learned that when you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing.” Lulu The Good Vibe.co
.
.
.
It’s a journey to let go and trust that the universe, God is working on our behalf. 🤔
So, when specific subjects find their way to us in quotes, conversations with others, billboards, etc. and multiple times throughout the day? Well, just know that these are not random. 👍🏻
.
.
.
These are answers to prayers our soul is crying out to our higher power and our greatest potential and we should always listen. It’s unconditional love saying to us, “you are being hard on yourself and judging yourself in this area, now let go and let love.”❤️
.
.
.
Mantra for Monday: I release my perception of control over this certain area in my life ( name the area), knowing that the universe and God have my back and that there is something to learn from this. I don’t have to have all the answers. All I have to do is trust and forgive any part of myself that chooses to judge my situation or others for that matter.
.
.
.
Now, let go and be #grateful for the lesson and appreciate the people and small moments that make today satisfying and happy.

“Fall in love with someone who is both your safe place and your biggest adventure.” Bianca Sparacino
.
.
.
But what does “SAFE” actually mean? I didn’t know until I I found it @bdanelsonfashiongroup ❤️
What this means is that when when we are most vulnerable, we can share our fears with our partner knowing that they won’t turn it against us but rather feel honored that we trust them with our “perceived weaknesses.”
.
.
.
Have you ever shared something with a friend, family member, partner, and they immediately form a judgement towards you and then bring it up as a tactic to “warn you against yourself?” 🤔
These people are not SAFE my friends! 🤷🏼‍♀️ It doesn’t mean that they are bad or good. It simply means you cannot and should not share anything with them in this area of your life again.
.
.
.
Unconditional love says “I hear you and I’m glad you trust me with this. I’m honored and I pray that your intuition, spirit, God guides you and gives you discernment.”
It is not our place to judge others, it’s our place to support the people we love. Make sure you are a SAFE place for those around you. We are hard enough on ourself and when we need advice, we will ask.
.
.
.
Your opinion means zero to me unless it comes from a place of authentic, non-judgemental love.

My virtual nutrition and personal training client...wow Tara’s legs 😱
She’s lost 7 lbs since October and managed it all through the holidays. 7 lbs is a lot on a 5’2” frame...so proud of her progress, especially since she couldn’t fathom doing personal training with her busy schedule! #workingmom#nailingit
#makethetime

Some days are harder to stay positive...I’m sure we can all agree? I find myself at times thinking about the devastation of losing a loved one that people are going through and it makes me feel somewhat self absorbed posting anything about exercise tips and nutrition on social media.
.
.
.
Yet, we as small business owners, still have to market ourselves because life doesn’t stop and it has no mercy...it has just temporarily stopped, like completely stopped, for those who are suffering right now.
.
.
.
So, can we just take a moment away from “ourself” to acknowledge that there is real pain and suffering going on in a lot of lives right now and yet still somehow know that we have to stay hopeful and grateful for the day, the people and circumstances around us we should be expressing appreciation towards, and love towards anyone going through hardship right now?
.
.
.
My mantra for today: as I stop for a moment and express and feel sorrow for those suffering right now, I send love and peace to them knowing that I don’t have to know all the answers, I only have to extend unconditional love in a prayer or service. I don’t have to carry the weight of it all and I choose to stay positive and hopeful knowing I have a purpose and part of that is lifting the spirits of those around me. So it is ❤️
