I can’t believe a week has already passed since I was on the beach in Turks & Caicos. 
It truly is one of my happy places. We've been going there since 2006. 
Speaking of beaches, I see a lot of posts, programs promising to help women get bikini or beach “ready”. 
What exactly is that??? 
Is there some magic measure?
Here is how to get “ready”
1) Grab a bikini, tankini, full piece etc. 
2) Put it on
3) Go to the beach.
4) Have fun

Here’s the thing. No one gets to decide who is “ready”. I saw women of all shapes, sizes and ages rocking their bathing suits on my vacation and I loved it. Don’t let anyone make you feel less. Ever.

Now, I understand feeling confident. But, again, what is the measure for that? What makes you feel confident? Don’t let others decide that for you. 

This is why I take a health first approach. Eat enough (stop starving yourself). Eat beneficial, nutrient dense foods (most of the time). Get in your steps and resistance training. Also, learn to give yourself some grace and don’t feel you need to be perfect all of the time. No one is perfect and trying to live that way just creates stress. 

When my clients start implementing this, something magical happens.
They have more energy, they start feeling better, stronger and more confident. 
There is a shift from a focus on the number on a scale to how they feel overall. 
From that, they gain momentum and confidence. Then the goal moves to how much better can they be. How much stronger can they get. They have that aha moment where it clicks. Stop with the under eating, crazy cardio and stepping on the scale everyday. I love seeing & hearing my ladies excitement when they see and feel themselves getting stronger vs just wanting to “lose weight”. 

Stop focusing on what others think and focus on you! You will get there. 

Hey, I just turned 50 and for me it’s all about my health, strength, energy. This will always be my focus. 
Once YOU focus on that, the rest will follow.
