Mommy Monday

For all you moms out there! Here are some ways you can stay on track towards a healthier lifestyle.

Wednesday spotlight

Today's spotlight is on a client of mine, Lekeisha. She started her weight loss journey July 2011, with changing her eating habits, and working out! She is now using herbalife to help her continue her journey, and has lost a total of 57 pounds since her start! Just by her posts reflecting self love, positive vibes, and amazing results, I knew I had to interview her for my first spotlight! Read below what inspires her, and what tips she shares!

What was your motivation to start your weight loss journey?
When I started I was taking more medication than my grandma, and it really hit me when my grandma was in the hospital. I started for her, and use her as inspiration.

What has been the most challanging aspect of your journey?
Finding what works for me, because I have plateaued 2-3 times since July 2011. Also what is hard is balancing my work outs and my food within my busy schedule having two jobs and going to school.

What has been the most fun aspect of your journey?
Challenging myself! Like before I wasn't a runner, now I can run constant for 20 minutes!

What is your favorite work out?
SQATS!! I love squats. I like to squat 25 times, with the 40 pound bar.

Do you have any tips for people wanting to start their own healthy journey?
Meal plan!! Plan your meals 3-4 days at a time,NAND freeze half because it keeps them fresh. Also in even plan out my herbalife shakes and teas so that I can have them quick, and when I am working.

Last like what do you think herbalife provides you that you needed to keep your weight loss/healthy journey going?
It is great to detoxify my body naturally without a lot of calories!

Tip Tuesdays: planning

When I started my healthy lifestyle in March 2012, I immediately made a plan/schedule. I was so excited that I dove right in however, at that time I didn't realize, until a few weeks in, how important making a schedule was to my weight loss journey! Planning helped me stay accountable and mindful of my daily goals I set for myself. Planning became fun for me! Here is a video on how you can start planning and making a schedule for yourself. Start little, and implement this into your healthy journey this week! Tag me in a photo of your schedule on Instagram! @superhatlady







Set your goals as detailed as possible. Here is an example of my work out goals. Nothing pretty, but it gets the job done and it is to the point! I even set a goal for how many calories I want to burn from working out on that.

Fit Fridays

Hi everyone! Have you ever had a day where you just couldn't make it to the gym, but you still needed to get some kind of work out in? Or you cant fall asleep, but you already worked out earlier in the day? Give my before bed circuit a try. My max is doing this 4 times, then ill finish with a streach. Of course you can do this any time of the day. The important part is you get moving, and get your heart rate up! This is for beginners, and I will add to this before bed time work out in future posts! I hope you guys give this a try, and let me know how it goes!
