I woke up this Monday feeling insanely sick. I am talking about blue in the face, sorta nauseous, cold-sweat, please go pray to the porcelain God right this moment kind of sick. I thought to myself "GREEEAAATTT, this is exactly what I need right now because it's the week of my book launch. OFF COURSE, I'd come down with this, not right now. There's too much good stuff going on!" In order to start my work day, I found myself comfortably getting situated in my bathroom-office with wi-fi and a notepad. Just because I am sick, doesn't mean my inbox isn't going off the charts with interview requests, partnership offers, book launch deets and you know WORK and life stuff. So, I figured this is the time to live what I preach and take a moment to get really grateful because while this massive sucks, there's gotta be something good about life. I was taking a mental list - my home, my house, my parents, my DOG is getting shipped in this month, my fridge is full. I flexed my gratitude muscle even more, even about the th

Hey sister, welcome back to Sexy Through the Holidays! This IS my favorite time of the year, because I get to give gifts, meet with people and go to the places I like. But how to really balance the holidays hustle with the much needed time for self? I received a great question from the audience: How to you make time for yourself, in the midst of all the gatherings, family obligations, to do lists, Christmas shopping etc? So in this episode I discuss in details the rule of thumb I live by. Every time you say YES to someone, you say NO to yourself. Tune in to say YES to yourself and make this holiday season the best in your life! With love, Zlata Join the Sexyfit Makeover Challenge - starts on January 2nd!

OMG, I'm so busy! Sister, have you realized that being busy becomes an emotion during holidays? It actually becomes a whole array of emotions of overwhelm, guilt, stress, sadness, uncertainty, and many others. The other default emotion is "OMG, I'm so fat". But behind it is the feeling of discomfort in our clothes, feeling bloated or guilty for missing workouts or eating that third piece of pie. This morning I woke up and realized I had been so behind with the podcasts that the whole world of emotions started to creep in. So I wanted to sit down, put it on the paper and really understand how I feel. I feel guilty. How do I want to feel? I want to feel proud, accomplished and joyful for making it happen, serving you as a community and serving my mission and goals. So what is the action I can take to turn that emotion around? When you finish listening to this podcast, I ask you to really identify how you feel. Once you identify how you feel, you'll be able to identify the opposite feeling. Then ground yourself

Hey sexy, welcome back to Sexy Through the Holidays! We're in the midst of the holiday season, and it's quite possible that fitness has not been a part of your routine ever since Thanksgiving. Today I want to help you get out of the all-in, all-out way of thinking and make fitness fit your holidays. Why? Because the outcome of you spending time on yourself and caring for yourself through any type of movement makes you a better person. It's a way to deal with stress, to have clarity, control and more certainty in life. So why would we give this up? We sabotage ourselves through unrealistic expectations, the feeling of guilt after not meeting those expectations and also by not being prepared. The key is not to go all in, working out for an hour five times a week. The key is to keep consistent habits in place. Today I want to give you tips for how to keep up with your fitness routine during holidays, finish this year strong and walk into 2017 proud of yourself. With love, Zlata ORDER YOUR COPY OF THE SEXYFIT MET

Hi sisters, many of you reached out and wanted to know what was going on with the book I was writing. At first it was announced to come out in October. Well, that obviously didn't happen. I apologize for keeping you in the dark, but until now I just wasn't ready to share with you the ugly truth behind writing a book. In September we had a situation in the company that unveiled some great truths about people, relationships and the side effects of us not being able to let go of our ego. We lost money, I was in pain and fear and felt like a victim. As a result I started hating the book with every ounce of my body, because that book meant pain, loss and judgement for me. However, I realized that those were actually the stories I told myself, about the book and about how I became a victim. So instead of pushing it, I stayed true to myself and to what I've been teaching. I decided to slow down and focus on our wonderful clients, the members of the Mastermind, who trusted me to guide them, who believed that the Sexy

Hi sister and welcome back to the Sexyfit podcast! We are heading into the season when we tend to run into candy bowls on every step - on the street, at our working place, our friends' places and our own home. Do you know that on average Americans gain 10-12 pounds during the holiday season? Therefore I want to give you some quick tips for how to avoid gaining weight and be on top of your fitness journey at this time of the year. Let's be clear on one thing. I have nothing against eating candies and chocolate but it tends to become a mindless behavior during these days because candies and food are just everywhere. So I'm here to make sure you have the strategies and tips to stay on track but still enjoy all the treats you love. Here are my tips for how to avoid gaining weight this holiday season:   If you want to have a candy bowl at home or at office, buy the candy that you don't like so you'll be less likely to eat it. Set the limit for how much candy you're going to eat. Have some candy after workout

Hello gorgeous, today we're talking about some habits you might have, that are actually causing you to gain weight. Perhaps you're not even noticing them, but as a result the weight is slowly creeping in and you don't know why. I wanted to draw your attention to those bad habits, since we are moving into the holiday season and it's going to be harder to keep the weight off.  Now let's get straight into the 6 habits that are preventing you from having the body that you want. Night time snacks Night time snacks are not causing you to gain weight per se. It's the fact that we never budget for those snacks in our daily macro count. We may think we will have the will power to resist late night munching but in reality it rarely ever happens. Whether you are snacking on carbs or protein, make sure you are realistic and you know you're going to do that. Budget for them, plan your snacks to fit in your macros and just be prepared. Not eating all day and then eating everything in the evening This is someth
