Open for motivation…

A dose of motivation will change your life almost overnight.

The best part of my job is seeing clients achieve amazing results. Whether they drop a few sizes, lose the baby weight, get off their blood pressure meds, or shrink their waist, the excitement is always contagious.

There really isn’t a clear way to describe the euphoria that settles in once you’ve realized your fitness goal. You have to experience it.

Though each successful client is unique with different goals, one element unites them.

They are all highly motivated.

You see, I am in a unique position. I know how to get you (or anyone else who walks through my door) into great shape. I can coach you through a 50-pound weight loss. I can guide you to a healthier body. I can even train you into a toned athlete.

But there is one catch.

You’ll need to be motivated.

See, saying that you want to get into great shape isn’t enough. You need motivation—and that’s just half of the equation. The other part (and the most important) is ACTION.

Nothing happens until you take action.

You can want it, think about it, mull it over, ponder it, plan it, and then re-plan it. But nothing happens until you take action.

While I may not know your story—it’s probably safe to assume that you are dissatisfied with your body and know that you can improve your fitness level. You want to look better, to have more energy, to experience fewer aches and pains, and to enjoy sweet satisfaction as you achieve your goals once and for all.

I know that all of my successful clients were once in your shoes. They wanted to change their bodies. They felt urgency. And then they did what most fail to do. They took action and contacted me.

But there is more to it than that. They then committed to a program, put in the exercise, stuck to their diet and met their goals. There’s nothing more gratifying than getting back into those jeans that now sit in the back of your closet.

People who take massive action get massive rewards. And those that simply talk about losing weight will continue to put weight on, pound after pound. I hate to put it that way, but it’s the truth.

So what do you want?

  • To drop 20 pounds
  • To feel younger
  • To look better in your birthday suit
  • To become healthier

How bad do you want it? How much motivation do you have? Enough to take MASSIVE ACTION?

The rewards are great IF you do.

(Your first step is to call or email me now to get started.)

Stressed Out?

Regular exercise is a simple solution to get you feeling good fast.

This is because every time you exercise your body increases its production of endorphins, which are responsible for that feel-good euphoria you get after a great workout or while chomping down on a piece of chocolate.

However, before you turn to chocolate and skip the gym, remember the end result of each and choose which one will help you reduce stress in the long run. (Hint: It’s not the chocolate!)

Sausage and Cabbage Comfort Soup

Homemade soup is a wonderful way to enjoy healthy, quick meals at home. This recipe for Sausage and Cabbage Comfort Soup is packed with wholesome fiber from fresh vegetables and protein from sausage. Make a big pot on the weekend and then reheat bowls throughout the week for fast, nutritious meals that will keep you on track with your fitness goals.

What you need
Serves 20

1 ½ pounds mild Italian sausage, loose
1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼” rounds
1 head green cabbage, core removed and shredded
3 large tomatoes, diced
2 teaspoons sea salt (plus more as needed)
fresh ground black pepper (about 5 cracks)
1 teaspoon ground sweet paprika
8 cups chicken broth
Basil leaf to garnish *optional

Instructions

1. Brown the sausage at the bottom of a large soup pot over medium high heat, breaking it into small pieces as it browns. Remove the cooked sausage from the pot and set aside in a bowl, leaving the oil from the sausage in the pot.

2. Add the onions, garlic and carrots to the pot with the hot oil. Continue to cook over medium high heat, stirring often as the veggies become tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and tomatoes, and continue to cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Mix in the remaining ingredients and bring the soup to a low simmer for 20 minutes.

3. Add more salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. Enjoy!

This book was so enlightening to read!

This book was incredibly insightful. I loved the authors realistic approach to living a better life.  And it came at the right point in my life too!!

Inspiring.  Great tips and helpful facts to help you live a healthier and productive lifestyle.  If you are looking to turn your life around and want to get a good start, this book will help you do it.  ~Elise Davis Chavez

A gift of inspiration and common sense.  I read this book in one sitting.  The messages will be filtering through me for years to come.  The voice is very clear and impactful.  We think making big changes in our lives is complicated, but this book shows how it can be done in simple, clearly defined steps.   It's not just about nutrition, it's not just about exercise - it's about healthy thinking and how healthy thinking leads to healthy choices.  I'm keeping it by my bed for many future re-readings, whenever I need more inspiration and redirection. ~Mary

I am giving this book to everyone on my list!  Laura is the best motivator and most well informed trainer.  Her approach to fitness is so straight forward.  Her motivating words and specific suggestions have made getting fit possible for me, and so many people I have met in her classes.  ~Jen

 WORKSHOP TESTIMONIAL:

"I attended the "Empower Yourself" workshop in May 2013 and it was a transformational experience for me.  To be honest, I thought I was signing up for a nutrition class but what I experienced was a life wellness class that gave me techniques to handle my hectic schedule.  I learned to take a few minutes a day to relax and focus on the positive aspects of my life, so that I could more calmly handle the issues that come up during the day.  I also learned relaxation techniques for the evening that really helped me get a peaceful night's sleep for the first time in years.  Another key component of the class is healthy eating and learning which foods are good for your body and which foods you should avoid.  I added two servings of greens to my meals which made me feel lighter and eliminated the bloated, sluggish feeling that I used to have after meals.  Overall, I feel in control of my life now.  I am empowered to make healthy choices in the food I eat and healthy choices in the way I handle stressful situations.  I no longer have that fuzzy, groggy feeling when I wake up in the morning.  I feel focused and engaged in making choices that move my life in a positive direction.  I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to lead a happpier, healthier life." D.W., Westport

"I attended Laura's Living Well Workshop in January and it was a perfect way for me to start off the new year.  I decided to commit to the 4 week program because I knew that I needed to calm my mind and try to deal with everyday stressors in a better way! The great thing about working with Laura is that she treats everyone so specifically and individually.  Even though there were other members of the group with me each week, Laura has a way to tailor her teachings and motivation towards each of us and what we each specifically need.  We started off by discussing the foundations of healthy living - moving our bodies each day, adding more servings of greens to our days, calming habits and of course, meditation.  I had never really thought of using meditation but had been encouraged to try it.  Having Laura lead us through it each week was very safe and comforting.  I quickly realized that by meditating and focusing on positive, nourishing thoughts I would be able to face things a busy day can send my way.  I also hear Laura's voice in my head pushing to take calming breathes, telling me to look for the positive in tough situations and be aware of my choices and choose positively.  Finally, the best part of working with Laura is that she truly practices what she preaches and teaches.  She is a phenomenal role model in body, mind, and soul.
