Wellness Refocused Coaching and Consulting
Your experiences matter.
It's been about a month since I've written on here, but let's be honest, that was a recipe - that's not real writing. I've said it before on Facebook more recently, but here as well - I write when I feel compelled. I write when I feel it's the most beneficial to me. I feel… Continue reading Catching Up
If you've ever lost weight - extreme or not - there's always the fear that you may revert back to your original size. That even if you've been practicing habits for years that you will wake up one day and magically lose them. As someone who was obese that fear is in the back of… Continue reading I Think I Found My Groove Again
The past four Decembers I've thought about what I wanted to do in the New Year. I've thought about what I had already accomplished and how I could build on that. Last year, my goals consisted of competing in my second bikini competition, getting stronger in my lifts and excelling at my job. I entered… Continue reading You Can Fail and Not Be A Failure, 2017 I’m Coming For You
We all talk about the importance of enjoying the ride. Enjoying the journey as you develop and accomplish goals and figure out how to create some kind of balance in your life. It's not a 50/50 balance I'm seeking and I think most of you will agree that you're not looking for that either, but some days 60/40 feels equal or 25/75 gives relief.
Part of my coaching incorporates writing. I mentioned that a few posts back when I did the "Shoulds" post. Everything I believe I should be and where I learned it. This post is from another assignment I gave a client last week. What are all the mean words and phrases you say to yourself and… Continue reading If You Don’t Have Anything Nice To Say
This past week I conducted an experiment. I thought it was a pretty important experiment. I told JP and my therapist about it. I told them both that wanted to show others what my old eating habits looked like in comparison to my current day. I think too many people stumble across my page and… Continue reading I Grabbed What I Could and Tried To Let Go of Things and People
Yesterday was a big day. Mentally for me I felt like I was in a good place to try a day of eating like the old me. The me before the fitness and health journey. A lot of people throughout the day said I was brave because this would give them anxiety. I guess it's… Continue reading Day of Eating: Old Cristina versus New Cristina
It's Tuesday and that means that our social media feeds will be filled with transformations. I know I'll be sharing mine. You'll get the clear visual for many of the transformations, but a few will also make note of mental growth or strength gains that aren't completely visible. Especially lately, I've been trying to look… Continue reading Challenge Accepted: Old Me versus New Me
I get a number of questions on my posts on Instagram every day. Some I try to answer right away and others I miss. There are a few I ignore, let's not lie, people want information faster than Google can provide it and that leads to some questions that I believe I don't need to… Continue reading Q and A: Who are you?
Since I shared my day of eating and I'm in a cut for competition, I thought I would share JP's day of eating while he's reversing into maintenance. It's a different perspective than from when I was reversing because 1. he's a man and testosterone is a very helpful hormone for weightloss and muscle development… Continue reading His Day of Eating: Week 3 of the Reverse DietÂ
