Start Somewhere

~Transformation Tuesday ~

So I have heard several people state that they could never do what I do, that they would not have such a drastic transformation,  that they do not need to lose any weight, that these programs or Shakeology does not work, and so on and so forth.

All I can say to them is that they are right.  If you are not willing to work for it with the programs, then the programs will just sit on your shelf and not work for you. If you are not willing to drink Shakeology then your right it's not going to benefit you, if you are not ready to try and commit then it will not work because you have already made up your mind that it will not work! 

Mind Over Matter! What you believe is what you get! 

All I can say is that it worked for me! I drink Shakeology every day, I workout 5-6 times a week with a program, and I have lost 90 lbs with Beachbody! This company,  these programs,  and Shakeology have been my lifesaver with my health, fitness, and happiness!  Plus I can earn extra income and  pay it foward to help others to live healthier and happier lives as well!

So my advice today: do not compare yourself to someone else's "highlights" in his or her journey. Everyone has to start somewhere! So make up "your" mind for yourself that you are ready to start, to commit, and to be dedicated to yourself.  If you are ready to commit them I am ready to commit to you to help you reach your goals, but I can only help you if you are ready!

Yes these programs work, yes Shakeology is amazing,  and yes I am healthier and happier than I have ever been but the key takeaway is that you could be too! You just have to believe in yourself and start!

My next accountability group starts the first week of September.  Are you ready?

Mommy Timeout

There are times (multiple times if I'm honest with myself) where I fail as a parent. My little girl is just like me and knows exactly how to push my buttons. Naturally a good parent would not react first, but think through a child's behavior, but I on the other hand react first before thinking it through and logically talking out the situation with my daughter. I know I'm not the only parent who faces this struggle of reacting before thinking, but it still makes me feel like a bad parent!

When I get this feeling, after reacting and thinking and apologizing to my daughter and making her apologize to me and talking with her about things, I go to a mommy timeout!

This is where I go to think about how I can improve myself to stop reacting first. To remember my daughter is still learning. To remember she is just like me and that is not bad, but rather adorable and precious that I was granted this beautiful little mini me!

I have to remind myself that even though I failed in this situation that I am not a bad parent. I am still learning as well. I am a great mother! Just like my daughter is an amazing little girl!

This picture reminds me that my family is everything that I want and work hard for and why I work on improving myself so I can be better for them!

Wear what you want!

There was a time where I thought people who lived in their workout clothes were just lazy because I was the type of person who had to be dressed "properly" everyday with my hair and makeup done!

 

Yes, that is seriously how I use to think! Now however, I finally understand, that for.busy people, who work for themselves and are constantly on the run,  you want to be comfortable and yet still look nice!

 

On the weekends, I have to get all dressed up for work, but throughout the week, I'm my own boss, running my own business, and I can dress how I want! And I want comfort!

 

I have become one of those people I once thought were lazy! I live in my workout clothes! But it's comfortable and actually, I'm still technically dressed for my passion "job"!!! Lol... so it's a win for me!

 

Plus the workout clothes are all actually pretty dang cute so I still feel all dressed up! Lol

Do you get to wear what you want?  Set your own hours? Be your own boss?

I am incredibly grateful that I get to all week long!

A Strong Woman....part 2

Thank God that I am strong woman!

A few years ago I would never have thought that about myself! I actually thought the opposite of that!  However,  I know now that I am a strong woman!

My life is not perfect,  but I thank God that it is not! No one can be perfect and a perfect life will never exist! The struggles we face only make us stronger and wiser!

Not going to lie: yesterday was a rough day for me on several different levels that I kind of cover on Periscope, but today I know those struggles are meant to make me who I need to be!

Last night I was thankful for so many things in my life! My husband,  my daughter,  my father, and my family and close friends! Life is to short to not be happy and grateful for each and every day you have with the ones you love! 

Never take them for granted,  say "I love you" everyday to them,  and always remember all the good times!
