Some of us say we have certain goals, but don't actually know what it might entail to achieve said goals.
Some of us want what we want... while being comfortable the whole time and having an otherwise 'easy' life.
And others.... others do it differently. People who are successful at reaching their goals understand what it will take and they're willing to put in the work, even when no one is watching.
CHECK OUT THIS WEEK'S VIDEO for more about how most people end up inadvertently running away from their goals and how you can do exactly the opposite to finally make progress on yours.
XO,

P.S. Have you decided to end 2020 with some positivity? Maybe you are looking to get a bit leaner and healthier? Maybe you'd like to stop feeling so out of control around food and cravings? Maybe you want to finally commit to a home-based exercise program customized just for YOU.
And maybe you want ALL OF THE ABOVE (yeah....dream big!)
Did you know this is what I do for a living? I help all different kinds of people get from where they are right now to where they want to go. How? Through very targeted nutrition (never restrictive and always with room for FUN foods + drinks), a customized workout routine that can be followed from anywhere, and lots and lots of COACHING to get through the obstacles that derail most people -- time management, meal prep ideas, motivation, emotional eating, and lack of confidence that can make us feel less-than. If you've ever been curious about my 1-on-1 coaching program or would like to see details like the cost and some client before + afters, check it out!
If you're having some guilt thinking about investing into your health, consider this: My top priorities are family, health, and career. When I do a quick audit of my calendar and finances, these 3 priorities are VERY much reflected as such. Is health a priority of yours as well? Does your calendar and budgeting reflect this yet? If not, it may be time to reconsider whether or not it's a true priority.
Whether you and I ever end up working together or not, I look forward to the day when you email me back and tell me you've moved your health to a top 3 priority spot. I know you deserve it. And I know you're here to love others for a long time and do great things ... that deserves your health as well!
If you'd like to chat about how you can be well on your way towards your goals long before we pop the bubbly and say au revoir to 2020, you can sign up for a free call so we can make sure it's the right fit before moving forward. :-)

P.S. I have just 1 (but I can be talked into 2) spots left for 1-on-1 coaching in June. If you are interested in learning more, you are welcome to schedule a free 15-minute call. We'll chat about your goals and what you need and find out if it's the right fit for us to work together.
P.P.S. If you prefer to check out some details - including the cost - on your own first, I totally get that! I'm the same way. ;-) Check out my 1-on-1 virtual coaching package here.
Why my virtual coaching program is 12 months!
Hey people!
Have you ever noticed the ridiculous claims some health and weight loss coaches make?
“Drop 20 pounds in 21 days!”
“Lose 3 pants sizes in a week!”
Blah, blah, blaaaaaaaaah.
Why are we drawn to such statements? Well, because we want to believe it’s true, even though we’re skeptical. The truth is, it doesn’t work that way. The other truth is, even if it DID work that way, when you when back to doing life after the week or 21 days, it would all. come. back (sometimes with interest).
My private, virtual coaching is a longer-term commitment at 12 months and I LOVE IT that way. It works. Check out this video to find out why. :-)
Happy weekend!
In good health,
Tara
What the heck does my one-on-one coaching do?
Hello inter-web friends!
Two nights ago I attended an amazing event to raise money for research into natural cancer cures. This event was to celebrate the Iron Moms that were nominated here on Long Island, NY. I discovered what an Iron Mom is - a woman that puts health, nutrition, and fitness at the top of the priority list for herself, her family, and her community. An Iron Mom gives back, volunteers, and feels lit up about the tireless work she's tackling to make a difference. An Iron Mom often has overcome adversity, health struggles, and has seen the light of day. It was a massive honor to be in the company of such amazing women. If you were there, you know what I mean.
In preparation for my speech, I was taking a little inventory on what it is I actually do day in and day out. And I realized...that I have NEVER shared a sneak peak into my private one-on-one coaching program, Pioneer Nutrition and Fitness Coaching. Hmm. Well, I'm changing that today! You should know I can help you. You should know I work virtually, so geographic location is not a barrier for us working together. You should also know that each and every one of my clients is a partner of mine - a partner in our journey towards the healthiest, happiest, most confident version of themselves.
Watch the video for more details and recent results from current clients.
I can help you break the dieting cycle. Shoot me a note here if you have any questions.
