Set Your Sails

How often have you thought that you would like to get fit? How often have you put it off? All you have to do is set your sails and take off with the wind! 

There are so many resources out there and support to help you through. Reach out and take advantage of those. Don't wait till the end of the year. Resolutions are a great way to start your year, but why not finish off this year with a great ending instead?!

That is what I am planning on doing. I am going to start a new program in my next fitness support group in hopes of preventing that holiday bulge. It is called Core De Force and I am beyond excited to kick some butt! Check it out!

If this is a program that interests you, you can sign up with me as your coach and join my next support group so we can do it together! Here is the link to that event. I would love to have other people to start this new program with me :)

Holiday Slim Down

Slimming down BEFORE the holidays? Are you Crazy? Why not be like everyone else in the world and just wait till the beginning of the year?
I'll tell you why. Did you know that the average American gains 5-10 pounds during the holiday season? That means that much more weight to lose come January. Who wants that much more stress?

Lets get a jump start on those resolutions and still enjoy the holiday food in moderation!
I am starting a group on the 28th of November to help you through the holidays and still feel good about yourself by the end of the year! I can pair you up with a fitness program that comes with a meal plan. If you are interested, you can sign up with me as your coach at www.teambeachbody.com/tdefelice and send me an email at tldefelice@gmail.com to get more info!

Too Skinny... Or Healthy?

I have had some people tell me that I am too skinny. I have even had people tell me that I look like I have been starving myself. Do you know how much this bothers me?
I was considered obese before I started my fitness journey. It has taken me nearly 2 years, but I have finally hit my goal weight and size and I am PROUD of that!!!

People never told me that I was too fat, but they feel that it is okay to say that I am too thin. How does that make sense? I definitely didn't work hard to become fat, but I have worked hard to become thin and fit. You know what else? I am still not where I want to be. I still have places that jiggle and I am going to tone those up. This is what HEALTHY looks like! I did not starve myself. I ate healthy and exercised to get the my body to what God meant it to look like.
If you know someone that is thin and healthy, please don't tell them that they are too skinny. It is not a compliment and it may hurt someone's feelings.

Vacation day 3

Waking up in a new town is exciting!  I woke up before my alarm ready to go out and walk around :) My husband's Aunt went with me to exercise in San Marcos, Texas! We walked 3 miles and it was awesome.  There is a university there that is gorgeous.  We saw one of the original buildings from the university and just had to walk to it. The view from there was beautiful too!

After a yummy breakfast at the bed and breakfast we stayed at, we headed to visit the town of Gruene  (pronounced Green). A little walking and shopping were on the list of things to do before we met up for lunch :)

The shopping led to me finding the perfect cowboy boots!  Yay!

After lunch and a couple hours in the car, we finally made it to the Ranch! Yay! The place is so pretty. We walked a little more here too! Lots of exercise,  but no Country Heat workouts yet.

Vacation day 2

Welp, exercise is going to be scratched off the list till I am no longer on the train. I was really going to try, but it just isn't possible to do it in a little sleepette. Not only is the room comfy cozy, but I have my carry-on in there too. I have to admit, this has been so relaxing :)
The food on the dining car is amazing!  I really, really love to eat! Being on vacation makes it even more enjoyable!  I had a Greek yogurt cheesecake for dessert yesterday and I loved every bite of it, hehe!

Here are some pictures of what I have had so far.

I'm still making healthy choices, but enjoying the not so healthy snacks in moderation :) 

On Vacation

I am incredibly excited to say that I am officially on vacation! I have the privilege to be a part of a woman's trip to Texas. Waking up at 3:30 am to get ready to be at the train station was actually pretty easy. The excitement of new experiences has got me in hyper-drive or something. This trip has a lot of firsts for me. Riding on a train for longer than a 20 minute tourist scheme, being in Chicago and Texas, staying in a bed and breakfast, being away from my husband and kids for an extended amount of time, and these are  just the ones that I know of.
I have already had the experience of eating in the dining cart on the train and that was a fun experience. The "waiter" was not as pleasant as I had hoped. He was short with us all and brought me coffee and charged me for it even though I didn't ask for it. It didn't go to waste though, I gave it to my mother-in-law :) My meal wasn't the healthiest, but it wasn't too bad. I had a chicken and biscuit sandwich with a fruit cup. I do intend on sticking to my regular diet and exercise routine while I am on this vacation! I hope circumstances allow me to stick to it :)

Stay tuned for more updates!
