Week One of the PNP March Challenge - What We Learned
10 March 08 03:13 PM | Corinne | 12 comment(s)

This month, my clients are doing a little challenge. Honestly, I read, re-read, and then finally wanted to quit reading their journals last month because so many of them were totally sabotaging their workouts and clean menus. It is frustrating as a trainer...

Sometimes I think my blog is turning into a motivational/food blog. But hey, what holds most of us back from getting the body we want? Fat girl thinking that drives us to eating foods we shouldn't. I have loads of free exercise programs for you already...

I Want To Lose Weight. Where Should I Start?
19 November 07 04:28 PM | Corinne | 3 comment(s)

You should start with Phit-N-Phat. Ya'll have a great day! Just kidding, sort of, but this is a popular question I get asked online and in person. We all know that what you eat has a lot to do with it, but I find more people are successful when they...

When Eating Clean Isn't What You Want To Do
17 November 07 10:53 AM | Corinne | 2 comment(s)

I have a number of girls, mostly my younger girls going to school or just starting out in life, who struggle with all or nothing thinking. They want to get healthy, have recent memories of being fit and toned, and feel like they have to do everything...

Rainy Sunday

Well, it’s getting colder outside and it’s rainy here in Nashville. It looks like a good day for rest from the workouts. I haven’t taken one this week so today I will focus on washing clothes, cleaning up, and playing with my son and husband. Even on...

Hello Arms!
21 October 07 02:47 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I did my arms workout and it went good. My left arm is still so weak since my December Ulnar Nerve injury. Anyway, when I was doing my curls today I had to use 5lbs on the left arm. I guess that nerve must effect the bicep firing mechanism. Anyway...

It’s Peanut Butter Friday
21 October 07 02:43 PM | Trish | with no comments

Looks like I made it to another cheat day and it couldn’t come any sooner. Honestly, I love eating clean but this week peanut butter has been on my mind something ridiculous. Tonight I will be having the biggest bowl of peanut butter and jelly mixed with...

Sunday and It’s a New Week

The definition is starting to pop on my upper body. Legs are looking better, but with my loose skin they may always be a mess. I’m very happy with my upper body though. Looks like the new training and eating is really working. I took off yesterday. Business...

Listen to Your Body When You Diet and Exercise
21 October 07 02:41 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I woke up sort of sore and just feeling a little sluggish. After coffee and breakfast I decided I had too much to do today to try and force a huge leg workout and cardio session that would likely leave me washed out for the rest of the day. Using...

Mixing It Up With a Full Body Cardio Routine
21 October 07 02:39 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I met with my personal trainer and I gave him two options: we could do a full body cardio routine inspired by Phat Camp and exercises inserted by me or do my scheduled chest routine. We opted for the full body routine. These types of workouts are...

Leg Strength…It’s a Good Thing
21 October 07 02:39 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today I did my leg routine and a little cardio afterward for a cool down. Legs are one of those body parts that I feel you should work hard and if you work them hard enough you shouldn’t have a lot left over for cardio. Sometimes I will try to blow them...

Working Out ALL DAY…or so it seems
21 October 07 02:28 PM | Trish | with no comments

Today is one of those days where I’m so busy with work and life that I am squeezing it all in when I can. Many of us forget that a workout doesn’t have to be XXX amount of time at X o’clock. It can be thrown at your body all day in shorter bouts with...

Saturday and Sunday Combo
21 October 07 02:27 PM | Trish | with no comments

Busy, busy, busy. That’s the best way to describe things these days. Getting in the workouts takes creativity, scheduling, and flexibility. Eating right takes discipline and preparation. That’s what life is about, though, learning how to do all that you...

One of the services I offer my online training clients is daily review and commentary of their food journals through the use of our member’s only discussion board. I teach them to eat clean and suggest small, liveable changes to their menus so that they...

What is a marketing trap? REDUCED FAT PEANUT BUTTER! Day in and day out read and hear of people unknowingly duped by “Big Peanut Butter” that they are changing their health picture by eating this marketing ploy. Have these people actually checked the...

Pimping Organic

Yo, going organic ain’t easy but it’s necessary. This post isn’t going to be about why regular food is bad and organic food is good. This article is about two often overlooked sides of going organic: it’s not always the best choice and going organic for...

It’s the start of another Phit-N-Phabulous week here at PNP. Clients are weighing in and losing fat, new exercise plans are starting, and some of us are trying a new eating style I designed over the last few weeks. It’s not earth shattering, but it is...

Clean Eating
03 October 07 09:11 PM | Trish | with no comments

Clean eating means a lot of things. It’s not just about the foods you eat, but it’s the lifestyle you choose to go along with it. I don’t always eat clean but it is something I strive for. Eating clean, or the attempt to do it, leaves me feeling in control...
