We have all heard the mantras a million times with their cheerful message of success, “Believe and Achieve” or “Believe in Yourself and Anything is Possible”.  However, more often than not, we don’t take these statements to heart.  We let them slip by without registering the meaning, or perhaps giving them a flippant “yeah right!”  Before you brush off these simple but powerful statements, STOP and take note!  A huge factor in success is amazingly simple yet often times difficult, belief in yourself!  Often women start on a journey toward a weight loss or fitness goal over and over again, only to end up quitting simply because they don’t believe that they can do it or have what it takes.  The road to fitness success seems too long or the results don’t come fast enough and they lose faith.  In order to change your life, you have to BELIEVE that you have the power within yourself to make a change and finally find success!

The world we live in is FAST.  Instant results are a normal part of our daily lives.  From instant search results on the internet, to instant oatmeal and one-click overnight shipping, we expect things to come to us quickly and without much effort.  However, even in this fast paced world, there are things that still take time and effort.  Building relationships, educational pursuits and perfecting desired skills take time, hard work, commitment and patience.  And just like other long term endeavors, your journey on the path to health and fitness takes time, dedication, perseverance and daily consistency in order to create success.

What is on your mind as summer approaches?  Is it fun, sun, enjoying the beach and life itself?  Or does your heart fill with dread at the thought of shorts, swimsuits and the beach, which all add up to pure mental and emotional torture?

Unfortunately, if you are like most women, as the temperature starts to rise and sweaters go in the back closet, fear and anxiety is triggered and it’s all focused on the dreaded summer wardrobe and activities. Read more!

Do you love your scale? It would be safe to assume that you answered this question with a booming “NO!” For a majority of women, the scale sits in a corner seeming to mocking us, doing it’s evil best to draw us in so that we find ourselves unwillingly stepping on it’s platform of doom and subsequently suffering an aftermath of self-loathing and depression concerning the number that flashes on it’s wicked dial. Like an old flame that we know is bad for us, we either try our best to avoid it’s temptation by shoving it in the back of the closet or even throwing it in the garbage. Or, we simply cannot stay away and keep going back repeatedly, over and over, as a means of self-torture, even though we know it may bring us pain. It is very possible that our relationship with the scale is a one that can linger throughout our lives, year after year only to bring us misery. At Bombshell Fitness we’ve trained thousands of women over the years and a large majority of clients come to us viewing the scale as a reminder they are “fat failures”!
