Diana: Inspiring Diabetes-Management & Weight Loss Client

Diana, Diana, Diana.

WOW, what a transformation!

She is a tender little one, at the youthful age of 24!

She came to me after being diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, and realized that if she didn’t make a change, her life would be cut short. She hoped that exercise could help prevent her from taking diabetes medication. (so far, so good!)

She works out with me 3 days a week, and walks every day at lunch. She watches what she eats, and has to ...

Motivation Through Breaking Records

Okay, so someone who I think is really smart once said to garner motivation from ***anywhere***– doesn’t matter from where. So recently I have been inspired to seek my 1RM in a few different exercises in order to break the records at Rise Above Performance. It’s a small gym in Belmont that focuses on performance enhancement. The adult female bracket is filled with high scores but I seek to break a few. Weighted pull ups (1RM), bench press (1RM), ...

10 Week Fitness Challenge Kickoff!

I haven’t divulged much to you, dear readers, because I feel too vulnerable. But I’ll just say that September through January were some of the roughest times of my life, and I fell into a depression. It’s only when you hit rock bottom that you are forced to make a change, so these past few months I have devoted myself to improving myself psychologically/emotionally. I implemented a multi-faceted attack, and throughout the months, I was able to transform! I used ...

Aerial Yoga, Plans, and Metta Prayer

Fun thing: Yesterday I took an awesome class at The Yoga Studio in Campbell. The class was aerial yoga. Now, I tell you with a little sheepishness that I hate yoga. I always want to like it, so I keep on taking classes, and keep on hating it. Can you believe I even had a private yoga lesson with a friend on Wednesday…and I still hated it. Lmao. Anyways, aerial yoga is the closest thing to yoga that I enjoy. ...

"Sometimes You Find The Light By Going Thru The Darkness!"

light-in-the-darknes

great tidbit from The Daily Love:

“We are not seeking to get something from someone else, really. We are seeking the feeling place of the presence of Love in our lives. And that starts to come in when we start to Love ourselves enough to take action that shows us that we Love ourselves. And many times we must go through the darkness so that ...

Sunday Morning Walk + Motivational Quotes

Sunday morning, 730 AM. I hop out of bed, throw on some warm layers and greet the crisp air. Luckily, Centennial Way Trail is only a few minutes walk from my house, so soon enough I am strolling down this long strip of cement. Is is the most scenic trail? No it’s not. But all I need is an empty trail. And at 730 AM on a chilly Sunday, that’s what I get. As I walk from South San Francisco ...

Developing Plan for Post Competition

I have been doing a lot of thinking about post competition and reading different things about it. It’s a really big deal. Competitors change their whole life focus for contest prep and take on this new form of dieting and training and LIVING, for this short moment onstage, then once it’s over and it’s traumatic and anti-climactic because it’s like…now what? It’s all over and life is back to “normal”…and what does “normal” mean anymore? How am I supposed to ...
