A Strong Woman

A Strong Woman:

 

After last week, it was a hard week for me,  I struggled with my own strength!  I viewed being strong as bad! People who are strong usually suffer the most. No one ever thinks a strong woman can fall, can break, or can become insecure!

 

It's hard for me to ask for help.  Everytime I do, it's viewed by others as weakness, or I get attacked, or I end up hurting myself even more or hurting, annoying, or frustrating other people with my insecurities, my emotions, and my problems!

 

Which only makes it harder to ask for help in the future!  I mean why would you if you keep having all the above every time? 

 

However,  the benefit of being a strong woman,  is the fact that I know every struggle will only make me that much stronger! It reveals a strength you didn't know you had. It reveals who will really help you,  who will attack you,  and who will laugh at you for falling!

 

Though the lessons can be hard sometimes, they are worth learning!  The struggles are worth enduring! The pain is only temporary and so is the darkness! 

 

The knowledge learned can never be taken from you and neither can your new found strength! 

So ladies: here's to all of your beautiful smiles through the tears, the silent struggles while helping everyone else, and the strength you will never lose! 

 

We are strong! And I have every intention of showing my daughter just how strong I am for her and our family! 

 

To those who helped me last week even if it was offering me some chocolate or just sitting silently by me while I work things out, or listening to me,  thank you! I really appreciate you!

Expectations

Ok seeing this, this morning and reading my personal development this really "hit" me today! 

 

How many people have felt like this?  You EXPECT so much from someone or from a group of people? Why? Because you know you would give  ALL of you to do the same!!!!

 

Anyone?

 

Well here's today's lesson: you cannot EXPECT anything from anyone else but yourself!

 

Does this mean you lower your expectations? 

 

HELL NO!!!!

 

Never lower your expectations  to meet someone elses! Instead find people who will meet yours! But even better find people who EXCEED your expectations!  Why?

 

Because it's always good to learn and grow! Finding people that exceed your expectations in a positive way will help you to develop even better expectations for yourself! 

And the process keeps continuing as you keep growing and learning and becoming the best person you can become! 

 

So today: look at the people you surround yourself with!  Are they under your expectations,  meeting them,  or exceeding them? 

 

Then find the people in the third option!

 

End of lesson! Lol

Does this work?

I know many of you are probably watching me from the other side of the fence and just wondering : Does that really work?

Am I right?

It's ok, I totally understand. I use to do the same thing! I would watch others losing weight, getting healthy, making money and think there's no possible way that really works!

However, one day I got inspired to jump that fence and join in the challenge to better myself! Boy am I glad that I did! I lost 90 lbs. and am happier, healthier, and a little more financially stable! Can I get a Woot Woot!

The point is: you can do it too! You really can! This really does work and I am here to show you the way!

If your comfortable sitting on the other side of the fence and just watching me that's alright too! But my goal is to inspire you to jump that fence like I did!

Now is the time to jump! My next Better You Challenge starts on July 6th, and I only have room for 4 more people! So take it from me: Jump! Prove it to yourself that it really does work!

The storm within

Sometimes it's hard to be strong and silent when your fighting your own battle! Sometimes you need to breakdown and let out the storm raging inside of you. At least that's what people say! Right?

 

They say let it out and talk about your struggles. Get the burden off your chest so you can breath again. Well today I made that mistake!  I let the storm win. I released my feelings and emotions!

 

In the end all it did was cause more pain, a sense of loss, and I hurt those around me. Why do I do this to myself. I try to be the outgoing,  happy person all the time, but sometimes my emotions get the best of me. And before I can even think, BOOM! It's to late and the explosion already happened.

 

It's hard to stop and analyze your emotions before you speak, especially when your feelings have been building and building for too long. *sigh*

 

I know I can handle my burdens. I know I'm not that stressed. I love being happy and I choose to be happy! So why today? Why did I breakdown today? What was the catslyst? I wish I knew! 

 

But lessons can only be learned from this today! Sometimes it might be better to struggle in silence and alone. At least that way no one else gets hurt along with you!

 

I am stronger than this and I can handle my emotions better than this!  It may be hard but it can be done!  Mind over matter right?

 

Well my heart may be bleeding but my mind knows that I can and will overcome all the negative and let the positive continue to shine! 

 

Life is hard! But it's so worth living it to the fullest!

 

There, my self pep-talk did me some good!

 

 Hopefully it will help someone else.

If you feel like your struggling alone. Know that your not!  We all have our own battles! And we can all conquer them and win even if the storm within is raging! 

Create Happiness

One thing that I have learned with all of my personal development this year: YOU have to create your happiness! YOU are responsible for yourself! 

 

People try to chase happiness....like its going out of style! Lol... "well if I had this....I would be happy....if I could do this....I would be happy...."

 

You know what? 

 

You can be happy NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE OR DO NOT HAVE!

 

So be happy! Fight for what makes you happy! Work your booty off to be happy but do not chase happiness! Create it yourself! 

 

You will be surprised at how much better things will go when you wake up a happy person and go to bed a happy person! Choose happiness! Life is to short to chase it!

 

Just create it and boom! Your a happy person no matter what life throws at you,  no matter what people say,  and no matter what you have or don't have!  No one can take away your happiness when you choose to create it yourself!  

 

Me: I create my happiness every day! I challenge you to do the same!

Success Story 2

I know I preach a lot about Shakeology and the benefits  it provides but how can I not shout it to the heavens when I not only know the benefits but see them! 

 

Shakeology  is great for weightloss,  I am proof of that, but the other amazing health benefits are things you cannot see other than in the smiles of the people. I posted awhile ago about my husband's cholesterol levels and how Shakeology  has helped him but today I want to share someone else  with you who is near and dear to my heart.

 

My father!

 

My father is Type 2 diabetic.  Did you know that Shakeology  has the majority  of ingredients  in it that help fight and reverse diabetes?  I am so super proud of my father who drinks his Shakeology  every day and works hard to live a healthier  and happier  lifestyle. His numbers are dropping and his doctor is  very happy with his results.

 

I love you dad and am so proud of you!

Insanity Max 30

So, me being the completely forgetful person that I am, have not posted my transformation pictures from my latest programs. I am sorry about that. I swear sometimes if my head was not attached I would lose the poor thing. I am such a forgetful person. I do really good some day's and then others I cannot remember something that was discussed two minutes ago. The joys of being me!

However, something that I want everyone to realize is DO NOT BE AFRAID of taking pictures of yourself. As you make healthy lifestyle changes and start exercising, eating right, cutting out the bad stuff, and improving on your lifestyle the changes happen naturally. However we never tend to really notice the changes because we see ourselves everyday. We do not really notice. Other people do however. So keep going. They notice and they watch you.

The best way for ourselves to SEE the changes is in our pictures. So take the pictures. Do not be afraid of them. Once you get them side by side you will always be amazed at the differences you notice. Once you SEE them you finally realize how far you have come and how much you have physically (and hopefully mentally and emotionally) changed. The pictures are a great way to measure your health and fitness success. NOT JUST THE SCALE. The scale lies to us. Frequently.

Measure yourself, take pictures, weigh yourself, and then gage how you actually feel. This is the best way to gage your success. Do these steps every 60 days and gage yourself from the past 60 days. How do you feel now? How have your measurements changed? How has your weight changed? What's the biggest difference you SEE?

So that's my little piece of advice for today. Take your pictures. And then watch the changes happen. And if you need help, support, and encouragement. I am here for you!

My story

~Transformation Tuesday ~

 

Welcome to my story! 

 

On the left was me when I weighed 220 pounds. I didn't care about myself at all.  I had no motivation and was depressed.  I was pre-diabetic, already undergone two back surgeries, and was sick ALL the time. I was not happy and I didn't believe I deserved to be. Worst of all I didn't believe I was worth anything. 

 

In 2010 that mindset changed.  I had my daughter and it was no longer just me. She needed me to be there for her. So I decided to make a change.  Enter Beachbody and my amazing coach Megan Plaizier Gutke. She got me started with Brazil Butt Lift and Shakeology. 

 

I lost 90 pounds! (Me on the right)

 

The change is beyond incredible and I cannot adequately explain all of the amazing differences not only physically,  but mentally and emotionally as well.

 

I'm here now living life to the fullest, I'm here for my daughter, and my relationship with my husband has grown even stronger.  The most important factor is that now I believe in myself. I love myself. And I know that I am worth so much more than I could have ever imagined.

 

Now I help to pay it forward and to help others to realize their potential and to dream again, but most importantly to believe in and love themselves.  If you are ready to feel how amazing this feels then PM me. My next accountability group starts July 6th. 

 

Don't keep wishing!  Start doing!

One of "THEM" days!

Have you ever had one of "THEM" days? Well that would be me today. It's one of "THEM" days! LOL...

Naturally its the first of the month which means bills are due (usually not a big deal), but also it means new specials are out for Beachbody, new sales for SCAR Blades, and a new month calendar to plan out. Normally I don't sweat the first of the month and the usual strategies that I employ on this day to get everything lined up for the month but then it happens. The one thing that makes it start to spiral downward.

NOTHING WORKS!

LOL...

Yep, all of my technology is giving me issues today. My daughters tablet does not want to boot up, at all, no matter how many times I have tried to reboot it, my laptop has a million updates to do that have to be done before you can use it, my desktop of course crashes and has to be rebooted, my internet is moving beyond slow for some reason and apparently only one piece of equipment can be using the internet at a time and if any other pieces try to connect then it causes ALL of them to crash.  My phone is even saying that I now have apparently no storage available (this is a common occurrence on my phone for some reason even though I know millions of people that have WAY more stuff on their phone that is the SAME AS MINE) so naturally it will not let me do anything with my phone until I free up some space.

*SIGH*

LOL..

So... what's my strategy to get through the day even though I usually rely heavily on my technology to get me through the day (even though I have so many issues with technology regularly, we do not get along)? Well.... My strategy: Breathe!!!!  Just breathe! Simple really. We all have "THEM" days. It's not the end of the world (even though it may feel like it sometimes)! I can totally get through this and if nothing works today then nothing works today. I always have tomorrow. And if something happens that means I do not have tomorrow, well then I guess it doesn't really matter that I didn't get it done today! LOL... 

So I am going to enjoy today! The rest of today! If I can get some more work done then I will... but I'm not going to stress if I cannot get online today or if technology doesn't want to work for me (smart phone my booty....lol...if it was smart it would work...lol)! Its okay. Really it is! At least I did what matters today:  I drank my Shakeology, I worked out, and I got to spend the day with my daughter! My little mini me! SHE is what counts! So overall, even though nothing worked, everything really worked out anyways!

Just hopefully tomorrow technology and I will be friends again! LOL

Signed: Your technologically impaired friend.... ME! LOL
