I'll Be Your Accountability

Working out with a friend is truly a great tool for losing weight. I read an article that said when you workout with someone else you are 3 times more likely to stick to the program.

Now, you might be thinking, “but I don’t have anyone to workout with!”

Let’s change that!

Losing weight is about accountability – to YOURSELF and to OTHERS.

If you told me that you were going to workout 5 days this week but never had to tell me if you actually did it… would you? My guess is probably not (depending on the kind of person you).

If you told me that you were going to workout 5 days a week but at the end of each week you had to report back to me – would you get your workouts done?

My guess… you would.

Why?

I’ve noticed that when I have to report in to others (personal trainer, business advisors, professors) that I don’t want to let anyone down…including myself!

So let me help you!

I want to create an accountability group. What this includes is SIMPLE and will take 5 seconds out of your day, just once a week.

I’m willing to collect emails (or do this through facebook) where whoever wants to report in how they are doing on their fitness program – whether it’s a DVD program like P90X or you are hitting the gym – can easily contact me!

We come up with what’s the best day for you to “report in,” figure out your workout goals and then start right up! Along the way there will be recognition & motivational prizes. :)

Think of me as your online accountability buddy!

My hand is reaching out to whoever wants it! Just send me an email or a facebook message & let's get started.

Yours in health,

What Can We Learn From Victoria's Secret?

Last night was the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show. During, immediately after and still today there’s an explosion of talk about the models. Twitter freaked out and of course it was a treading topic.

There were the expected comments that the models are too thin, they don’t workout, they’re anorexic, whatever. You can have whatever opinion that your heart desires. But that’s not the point of this blog post.

What I did notice during the brief hour the show was on TV, many real-life women & girls started talking about their own bodies. “Thanks a lot VS, now I’m just going to starve myself” – what WAIT?!

Watching tall, beautiful women strut their stuff in only lingerie will make the most confident person feel inferior. But that’s also not the point of this blog.

So what’s the point?

The point is… if you watched and wanted to make a change (an HONEST change), what’s stopping you?

There’s a few options when watching something like that… either use that new “motivation” you found, forget you ever watched it (Victoria who?) or continue to hate on your body.

Why hate on yourself? The way you treat yourself is the way other people will treat you.

Maybe you’ve hit the “enough is enough” point in your life and now you’re ready to do something about it. Let’s GET MOVING. Don't sit and hate on them or yourself - instead put in the work. Hit the gym, sign up for a race, press play on the workout dvd, do something!

This isn’t about Victoria’s Secret, models, bikinis, Katy Perry, whatever. It’s about YOU being the BEST version of yourself.

If I can help you do that, let me know. I'm happy to help!

Yours in health,
Caterina

Words are a powerful thing. Be careful what you say and who you say it to. With a word or certain tone of voice you can lift someone up or rip them down.
