We are born into this world with free will.  We choose how to live our lives, we are free to perceive our life as one of growth or a life of struggle, we are free to shift our lives at any second in time. By practicing and exercising our independence to choose how we care […]

About 10 months ago when I started my Genesis journey two words coming from my coach had me in utter disbelief.  Those words went against everything I had held consistent with the process of weight loss.  I couldn’t believe she was asking me to refrain from these two dearly loved words that had helped me drop some […]

Vacation????? I CAN DO IT!!! I just finished my first week away since beginning my transformation with Genesis! I MADE IT & I’M SO HAPPY!

If you always do what you’ve done, you will always get what you’ve always got. -Ed Foreman If we are spiritual we tend to willingly start a yoga & meditation practice, if we are gym rats we have no problem hopping out of bed to hit the iron, if we love to cook we can’t […]

The month is dedicated to GT Newbies and keeping it real with our mythbusters… Myth:  Daily High Intensity workouts will result in a fit and defined body FAST.  Rest days only hold me back.
