Joining Creating Better Tomorrow for Stress Free Holidays
You open up your planner. And immediately you feel overwhelmed. School holiday party this week. Extended family next week. Christmas shopping sometime in the mix. Clean the house for your in-laws coming over. Does this look anything like your agenda throughout late November and through December? And many of you probably have travel in there too.
First off, how about you and me, together, let's take a deep breath.
Starting on November 20th I will be helping you reach that goal of stress free holidays. Together we will work to drink our water, move, and to love ourselves. You will receive a daily email from me with a self love and gratitude action step (won't take long I promise!) and you in that email will also be your daily reminder on water and movement! AND you will be added into my private facebook group for clients only! I'd love to have you and invite you to learn more or contact me with any questions sarah@creatingbettertomorrow.com. Most importantly though, whether you join me or not, I pray that this holiday season is the most joyous and blessed season for you and those you love.

Cincinnati, Custody Issues, and Certification, OH MY!
THURSDAY I did Jillian Michaels' Killer Body Lower Body workout. That afternoon I finally decided on fitness goals for the year.
FRIDAY I did Killer Buns & Thighs Level 1 again. With 2 leg days in a row I thought it would be a problem but it wasn't!
SATURDAY we picked up a Volvo from Enterprise and drove to the West Chester, OH (AKA Cincinnati), IKEA store to check out some shelving for the front room (where I workout). We went with the intention to get one line but Benny decided on another line. It looks like this but one of the doors is wood not glass. Ordering the setup online is actually cheaper for shipping than having the store ship. So Benny has to finalize how many we need and get them ordered. I wanted to stop by Jungle Jim's afterwards but we were exhausted so we headed home.
SUNDAY I did Amy Bento-Ross' Drop Set Strength workout, the chest, back, and shoulder portions.
When my ex picked up Austin, Benny was trying to find out why he wasn't signing the IEP. My ex got pissed off and stormed out saying that he might not be letting Austin come back to my house again. Does anyone have any experience with custody modification involving a teenager? Please email me and let me know your story as we may have to go this route.
MONDAY I woke up sore in my shoulders and upper back so I did one of the Yoga with Adriane videos. This one happened to go with the #ChooseSelfLove concept.
My ex texted me on his lunch break saying he was leaving it up to Austin whether or not he's coming over and that Benny has no right telling my ex what to do in regards to Austin, especially since he's not working. My coworker said to not respond to that so my response is only where he won't see them (i.e. private online groups and this blog). I have a feeling that Austin may say he doesn't want to come over because we don't have the gaming systems to play with.
I have scheduled my Group Exercise Certification Exam for March 29th at 1:30 pm!
YESTERDAY I did the biceps, triceps, and core portion of Amy's DVD.TODAY I did the legs portion.

A Love Letter to Myself
THURSDAY I did P90X3 Pilates X. I read Chapter 12 - Initial Intake & Pre-Participation Screening. Austin texted me asking if he could spend Saturday at his friend's house and his friend was spending the night Friday (assumed at his dad's). I said OK.
FRIDAY I did Decelerator. During lunch I had an awesome call with Nicole Liolia to help me get things going with making money in this coaching business.
To start off I'm looking for 5 people to speak with for 30 minutes about their wellness goals and to help them with a tip or strategy to help them make progress over the next week. If you're interested in this FREE strategy session please email me to set up a time.
Austin texted me saying I had to drop him off at his friend's house 10 minutes after he got to my house. I was so confused and it was sounding like he was trying to get around his dad knowing he was going over there. We finally got it all figured out and his friend's dad picked him up at the ex's house.SATURDAY I did CVX in a silent house. Austin texted me asking if he could stay at his friend's house again because they were having so much fun playing RockBand. My ex said he didn't need to spend the whole weekend at a friend's house. Benny said it was OK because it was too cold to do anything anyway.
I went to the library and hung out for longer than I normally do with Austin. I got on one of the computers and attempted to do some work but didn't get very far. Before I left I made a couple of origami heart bookmarks, one for me and one for Austin. From there I went to a couple of stores and shopped. It was nice being out of the house alone going wherever I wanted for about 4 hours!
SUNDAY Austin texted to pick him up at his friend's house around 3pm. The snow wasn't bad at that time so I was like no big deal. However, by the time it was almost 3pm the snow was much heavier and hard to see outside our windows. I was ready to go when Benny said that I couldn't because my tires were too low. So I had to wait around for him to air them up. Then I wiggled my way on the slick, snow covered roads (and over 2 bridges) with my heart pounding both ways. With an elevated heart rate that was like another workout, right? LOL
MONDAY I began the last week of P90X3 with Dynamix. It was a good stretch because I was tired and my back was stiff (probably leftover from being terrified driving). I did a lot more reading (chapter wise only LOL) at lunch: Chapter 13 - Health Screening Assessments, Chapter 14 - Postural Analysis, and Chapter 16 - Physical Activity & Health.
YESTERDAY I did Isometrix. I read Chapter 17 - Cardiorespiratory Fitness Programming.
TODAY I did Accelerator. I'll start reading Chapter 18 - Programming for Muscular Fitness and will finish it up tomorrow.
This week's Weight Watcher's theme continues on the concept on choosing self love, giving yourself the attention, care, and acceptance you deserve. I've filled in the blanks for myself as an example. What I fill in may vary upon the day. I did struggle with coming up with a self destructive action/thought that I have since it's not something I continually think of.
Will you join me and write one for yourself?

Where Do You Need to Love Yourself More?
Valentine's Day has always seemed to be about loving someone other than yourself. Why not change the focus of this day to setting a plan and promise to Choose Self Love to care for yourself all year long?
Just as with everything in life we are stronger in one area of Self Love than the others. So where do you need to love yourself more? Take the free Self Love Pulse Check and find out! Discover where you're weak & strong in Self Love.
This free Self Love Quiz helps you to:
- Discover where you are strong at loving yourself and where you are weak in self-love, based on the “5 Gates of Self-Love.”
- Uncover how you can practically and tangibly love yourself better by focusing on the areas of self-love that most need your attention.
- Break self-love down to manageable and specific parts so you can see more clearly where you would be best served to focus on making shifts.
- Receive a full Self Love Pulse Check Report that reveals your scoring for ALL 5 Gates of Self-Love, the five foundations for deep, unwavering and strong self-love so you can feel great about the ways you do love yourself, and support yourself to grow in the ways you could be better to yourself.
The quiz takes under 7 minutes to complete. Take an act of self-love and give yourself the space to take it.
I took the quiz the other day and here are my results:
Living My Heart & Soul Desires - 23/35
Taking Care of Myself - 25/35
Having Loving & Respectful Relationships - 27/35
Being Compassionate with Myself - 28/35
Loving My Body - 32/35
The first step for me to work on living my heart and soul desires is this promise to myself:
I promise to never settle for less than my heart and soul desires.
I must be vigilant and watch myself to make sure I stay on the path. When I recognize that I'm slipping I must remind myself of this promise, repeating it like a mantra. Yes, it will be hard, but I'll take it with small steps, just like I did when losing weight.
Won't you join me on this journey to love yourself more?
