Coaching through my Experience


I remember those days working at Fedex in the city. Long commutes in the Train to get to work and to come back home. Feeling that there was more to life, that I was created for more. Working 12+ hours a day and coming home to eat Pizza and watch Netflix. Finding the time to workout and take care of my health was not easy at first, but the sacrifices were worth it because it opened many doors that I never imagined were possible. 

I was so afraid at first of becoming a coach, the financial struggle, the fears of rejection, the fear of not knowing a lot of people. But

now I live a life with Purpose helping others see theres more! Inspiring, Mentoring, Leading others to be the best version they were created to be. So blessed for all the great experiences, the places, the supportive, and uplifting people I being able to meet. A coach is simply a mentor, a leader, a friend that wants to see you succeed! But must importantly a normal person sharing his struggles and victories with the Hope to inspire someone to change!

Becoming a coach is that one decision I can honestly say I will never regret. If you have thought or even considered becoming a coach let's talk.

Have Faith





What giants are rising in your life that are holding you back from reaching your full potential?
For me this Giant represented emotional eating, depression, lack of discipline, LAZINESS! But I now I was created for more. I am a warrior and I will conquer all the things that were holding me back. 

One can simply say I'm going to conquer this things and expect them to magically disappear but the reality is that is does not work like that. Every day you have to wake up and fight for what you want. God has giving you the power to have control over this things in your life. But as you begin to show up and through consistent action you will begin to defeat them. 

It's going to be a long process, but you need to start. And stop allowing the destructive behaviors take a hold of your life. The first step I recommend is to create a plan of how your day is going to go down. So plan ahead of time so things can go according to plan. Start taking actions! what are those things you been leaving for tomorrow and every day you feel guilty for not doing them. Maybe is the I will start my workouts next MONDAY and Monday comes and you don't do a thing. Or maybe is something as simple as cleaning your room, doing your homework or even doing you hair. Common! being honest with yourself is the first step, guys! 

So remember set up you calendar and make sure you are getting enough hours of sleep everyday. Because if you are feeling tire and sluggish you won't be able to accomplish anything.

For me my list consist of waking up at 5am and going to bed at 10-11pm at night. Dedicating a least one hour to god in the morning and doing my personal development as well. I make sure to do my 30 minute workout every day and also prepare my foods in advance. What you put in your calendar is entirely up to you my friend but just make sure you create your calendar with the things that are important to you.

Cottage Cheese, Veggies Burrito

 This morning I woke really hungry and I was craving Tacos for breakfast! I know tacos in the Am, the hunger was real! Before I started prepping my meat, I remembered today is Friday and I can't eat meat. I am a catholic so it's part of the tradition. Honestly is something I don't really know the why, so I guess I will Google it later on when I'm done writing this Blog. But this year was a personal choice not to eat meat during this time.

So I took a look at my nutrition plan to see what I can substitute meat with and obviously Eggs where the first choice. Since I eat them almost every day for Breakfast with Oatmeal. But today I wanted to do something different.

Eating healthy doesn't have to be boring, you only need to have a system in place. For me that's where the 21 day fix program come in place because it has allow me to learn how to eat according to my needs. But unlike most programs, this program is really flexible when it comes to the choices we can make when it comes to our foods!




I like to keep things as simple as possible since I don't love to be in the kitchen. I prefer things that are quick and easy to make. If i saves me money, time and is simple, I'm making it. I personally don't like to add a lot of condiments to my meals. I do my best to eat it at simple as possible, Just adding a little bit of salt, black pepper and some garlic.

The ingredients were:


 2 Eggs (Red Container)
 2% Cottage Cheese (Red Container)
 1 whole wheat Tortilla ( 2 Yellow Containers)
 Onions (Green Container)
                                            Green Peppers (Green Container)



I used a table spoon of Coconut Oil to fry the veggies and eggs,
I warm the tortilla about a minute each side. This meal is fairly simple to make and it won't take a lot of your time. I love the fact that you can get as creative as you want with the meals, as long as it fits your containers needs for the day. I'm really excited about my my Fitness Journey because I finally found something that works me.

Friday Yummy Breakfast



I was craving Cottage Cheese this morning. I usually eat it at night but today I decided to add for breakfast with my oatmeal and a spoon of peanut butter. 

I use the 21 day fix system to measure my foods. It helps me save time and I know I won't be over eating. Everyone in my support group starts with this program. Specially those that really struggle with nutrition. 

I notice that cottage cheese gives me an extra boost before my workouts so I started incorporating it more in my diet lately. Right now my goal is to reduce body fat and continue building muscles. 

This journey can be difficult at times that's why I surround myself with like minded people to continue pushing forward. Don't give up, keep pushing!!

Remembering the Past

Going through my old pictures tonight I found one that brought tears to my eyes. Because it took me back to one of the darkest moments in my life. We all battle many demons on a daily basis back then mines were depression, anxiety, emotional eating, feeling worthless, and even suicidal.

I was so addicted to food back then, Food was my comfort, food was my escape, I felt food was the only thing I had control over. But I will eat junk food and then feel guilty afterwards. During those times I felt the storm was never going to pass and now that I’m able to look back. I can’t believe it was all part of a bigger plan, because most of the people that come to me for help somewhat are going through something similar. Through the storm God is equipping you for the next chapter in your live. I believe this with all my heart
Sometimes the biggest battles in this journey can not be measure on the scale. Believe in the process and show up everyday guys. it can really save your life the way it has saved mine. Stay faithful the storm will pass

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN

It doesn't matter how many times you failed before what matters is that you never give up. This journey has been really hard and challenging for me but each time I given up I discovered another reason to come back stronger. Before I gave up because I was afraid to be around people, I guess you can call it Social Anxiety. But also it had to do a lot with laziness. I will find any little excuse to stay home and do nothing but play video games. I will eat ice cream and play video games for over 12 hours everyday.  I had to learn the hard way I'm the only one stopping my self from the things I want. I really want to turn my life around and make my health a priority is not jus the fact I also want to look good lol. It was hard for me to start lifting 15 pounds in this move and watching everyone one else lifting 100s. Just watching my friends lift heavier then me it made me feel a little down, but once I started to focus in me again everything changed. I started to remind my self that this is my journey and I stopped comparing my progress to theirs. Currently lifting 75s and loving the changes and progress. It's been 31 days straight since I started working out consistently and not slowing down. From here I am more determine to become the man God created me to be. 

To all my badasses out there start believing in you again and start slowly. You will reach your goals as long as you consistently show up to your game. Create a game plan and follow it. Take care and God bless you and remember there is Greatness inside you!

Have Faith, Not Fear!

Today was one of those days I really had to dig down to get through it. We all have this two voices in our heads and I like to call them the hater and the winner. Today the hater was trying to ruin my day with a lot of negative self talk. Saying things like you are not good enough, you don't have the strength, you failed in the past and look at you 3 weeks in the gym and you are not getting results. I have to be aware when this is happening because before I will stay in bed and eat Pizza and Ice cream to feel better. Now I decided to take a different approach and is call personal development. 

I read books that focuses on rewiring your brain or re programing and as crazy as it sounds. It has helped me a lot because of all the new Ideas that I find in the books. There is one book in particular that I am reading at the moment, and this book it's called "The Charge" by Brendon Burchard. Many of the ideas that he shares in the book are not really unfamiliar to me, but the way he breaks it down it's so easy to Understand and put into practice. 

This journey has many challenges but most importantly it has shown me all the parts that make me who I am, the good and the bad. I have come into terms with the fact I am very lazy and a procrastinator. I will look for any excuse not to do the things I need to do to move forward. It's not easy but I found that coaching other people has helped me stay accountable to my Fitness Goals. Since I have a lot of people that look up to me. 

Whatever it is you are struggling in your life at this moment. God is using this storm to help you become stronger, and although you may not understand this at the moment. It will become clear when the right time comes. So stay faithful, remember to do your workout, drink your water and eat healthy. And if you can pick up the book I mentioned here today. I know this is going to be of great help to you as well. One more thing just remember you are not alone in this journey

Have Faith, not Fear!!
