Who's with me?

I absolutely love Max Capacity training app. I've done in the past and I haven't stopped thinking about doing it again. This morning it was a no-brainer to just do it. I keep procrastinating restarting my workout lifestyle and I know this one is easy for me because it's quick, it tells me what to do, and I see results. I'm just using it today to get myself started. I kept overthinking and rethinking which made me keep procrastinating. Today, I decided to make it day one and  to just do it! I know for two very dear friends this year, they did not decide the day they were diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. It just happened. So this was a wake-up call for me to do the same with my health and for me in particular my workout lifestyle to just do it, just start, doesn't matter the day of the week, the day of the month or the month of the year. Start because health issues, ailments, and diseases are waiting to come out unless a healthy lifestyle is maintained. it ...

Same Focus, Improved Service, just a name change

Image
Okay, so, I changed the name of my social media pages to my first and last name.  Was that a bad idea? I'm still Coach Jackie. I am still Healthy Witness. I completely confess that my heart sunk when I saw that 4 people unliked my Fcaebook page as soon as the name was changed. 10 in total for the week. 😟 10  My purpose, motivation, and responsibility has NOT changed. Yes, I feel very responsible for helping others, guiding others, and inspiring others for a healthy lifestyle. It is my hope that more people will LIKE this page, be inspired, and given hope that they also can live life healthier and more fulfilling through adjustments and changes. People should feel supported and helped and encouraged. Resources should be shared and given and available for all walks of life to succeed. I know where I was years ago and for the decades prior, I only felt certain people had certain Privileges and certain opportunities to succeed while I only had my...
