Macro Basics

In April I wrote about planning ahead and prepping meals as well as finding someone to support you in your goals as a way to sustain success while using macros to achieve your goals. I’d like to expand on that and possibly make things easier for people just getting started in their journey with macros,Continue reading “Macro Basics”

You Aren’t Alone

After the quarantine, the gyms in Arizona opened back up – briefly on May 18th. They ended up closing again on June 29th. That is a whole other topic for another time or post. Anyway, during the brief time that the gym was open I was working with a client and she was telling meContinue reading “You Aren’t Alone”

Kitchen Challenge

For most people, the loss of day to day routines came with the quarantine. Many of us found ourselves pretty bored. I know that my folks as well as a few friends of mine set up 1000+ piece puzzles, and would work on them throughout the day when they were feeling listless, and they hadContinue reading “Kitchen Challenge”

Loving Yourself More Fully

What if you were satisfied with your body? What if healthy choices and self care were easy and joyful? How might your life be different? What would become possible? In my state we have a commercial that airs, it’s for a cosmetic surgery office. The commercial has different women in a “candid” setting, talking aboutContinue reading “Loving Yourself More Fully”

The Power of Compliments

I once gave a speech on the effects words can have on water molecules, and how positive, loving, uplifting, and encouraging words made these amazingly beautiful and intricate molecules and negative words created almost evil looking molecules. This was based off of the experiment done by Dr Emoto. I encourage you to Google the picturesContinue reading “The Power of Compliments”

Some of these things might be helpful for you as well, or theyContinue reading “Macro’s for Quarantine and Beyond…”

Movement = Quality of Life

Years ago I took classes to become a certified life coach. It just seemed like a natural progression and a really good fit for training, nutrition and lifestyle changes. At one point in the training we had to come up with our own coaching model. Most of my classmates had Venn diagrams of things dealingContinue reading “Movement = Quality of Life”

Say What?

I was talking with a co-worker the other day and I guess our topic of conversation was something that most of my co-workers wondered about, because within minutes what started out as a one one one conversation became me talking and educating 5 people on the subject before the sixth person came in mid-conversation andContinue reading “Say What?”

My Goal for Alkemy

The other day I walked past my daughter’s bedroom and she was standing on her bed drilling screws into the wall above her window to hang a curtain rod. That singular sight stopped me dead in my tracks and I was flooded with so many thoughts and emotions. My first thought was visions of herContinue reading “My Goal for Alkemy”

Making Changes

We made it! Another revolution around the sun. This time last year people were reflecting on experiences of the previous year as well as setting goals and resolutions for the year ahead. January 1st fell on a Tuesday in 2019 and this year it falls on a Wednesday. The majority of resolutions won’t be startedContinue reading “Making Changes”
