Parenting is hard work!

Keeping it real today, I haven't posted much today because it's really hard to post inspiring, motivating, or even just funny things when you feel like the worst parent and person in the world! 

Yes, I know I'm not a bad parent! I just have bad reactions sometimes and today was one of those days! I had a mommy meltdown! My patience was gone and my frustration took over! 

Once you react that's what is taken into account with all the people involved! It's so hard to have a positive reaction when you are so frustrated! Today my reaction wasn't positive at all for my daughter or myself! Hence the feeling of failure as a parent! 

But after my meltdown I broke down in front of my daughter! I'm not sure she has ever really ever seen me cry, cry! Heck, I don't think there are more than a few rare people who have ever seen me cry, But today she did! 

We both hugged each other and said we are sorry, her for her tantrum and attitude and me for yelling and losing my patience! It's typical that we both have the same attitude and patience levels! Lol, this is going to be a learning process for us both! 

Afterwards I'm sitting in my room trying to collect myself and my thoughts when she comes in and brings me this little post it note! Needless to say I started crying again, only happy tears this time! I just happened to be looking at these other two pictures of us together when she brought me this note! 

So the point of this story, we all make mistakes, we all breakdown, we all have moments of failure, but even through it all we can still come out on top, become stronger, become wiser, still somehow manage to inspire someone else, and admit when we are wrong, apologize, and work to make everything better! Simply put, we are all pretty dang amazing for what our hearts and head put us through! 

So do not be afraid to admit you make mistakes, do not be afraid to apologize, and do not be afraid to be your real self! 

Maybe my daughter needed to see the more real sensitive side to me! Maybe it will help her understand her sensitive side too! After all, she is a little version of me! And she still is my heart!

No Black Friday Fever

Awe! 

Here's to sleeping in, staying warm with a cozy fire, and drinking a holiday coffee, relaxing while shopping online this year for everything! I have to say I'm quite happy! Lol 

I've never once gotten Black Friday fever! I have no intention of ever getting Black Friday fever! Lol 

To me, I would rather be home with my family, enjoying the day together, then out trying to find a good deal on things that don't really matter to me! Don't get me wrong, I would like to have a lot of things, but it's not about those "things" it's about the smile you can give to someone else! The joy you can bring to others! To me, that's priceless! 

So I will spend this day with my family and buy things online or randomly throughout the next month without worrying over a good deal! If I am meant to get it then I will! And with the power of positive thinking it will still be an amazing deal later on anyways! 

So here's to all you beautiful people who are taking it easy today and still giving thanks for what you have! 

To all the Black Friday shoppers: good luck! Lol

Would you?

It's the start of a holiday week and there are so many things, reasons, and people to be grateful for! However, I am the most grateful for the ability to work from home 90% of the time (hopefully 100% soon 😉) and be with this little girl all day! 

She is my heart, my why, and the reason that I and my husband work so hard on making our dreams come true! She is worth staying home for and being able to attend all of her events without asking someone else for permission and time off of work! She makes everything that we do worth while! 

Now tell me if you could make $500 extra a month by simply working out, eating clean 80% of the time, and posting about it on social media....would you? 

What would that extra money mean to you, your family, your goals? Would it give you more freedom to be with the people you love more or the ability to do more of the things you like to do, or to be able to finally plan that dream vacation? 

For me, it's to see her smile everyday, and yes, she's totally worth doing that and so much more for!

Don't Do it!

Not going to lie: it still hurt to get moving this morning even after ice, heat, and stretching yesterday! But I did T25 RIPT and now I feel soooo much better! I can move again! Lol However, I know sore (from working out) is good because it means I'm changing my body to be stronger! 

Today is Friday and it's the start of the weekend! Woot Woot! It's also the time where a lot of us go out with friends or on dates! Now what ends up happening is we see other people and we start what? 

COMPARING OURSELVES! 

Well I'm here to tell you don't do it! Simple as that!

Live every moment in the actual moment! Enjoy yourself this weekend! Love yourself and let that be all that matters! We are all different! We are all unique! So there really is no need to compare ourselves to anyone else because no matter what you will always be you, not this other person, and you are amazing! 

So I wish you a happy, fun, and safe weekend! Enjoy it! Enjoy you!

Never Give Up

~Long Post Alert~

There are not enough words to explain the gratitude, the blessings, the confidence, the emotions that I have undergone on this amazing journey! 

Going from the "big girl" on the block to the one that people say "you've always been little so you do not know what it's like to be big" has indeed been strange! However, I do know that feeling! I know that sinking feeling of drowning in my own self-pity, letting the depression swallow me whole, and giving up on myself! I know the tears shed for never feeling like you matter and the anger and frustration for hating yourself, your body, your emotions, and even God at times! 

I remember telling myself that nothing I ever do will make a change or matter so why even bother! I had given up on myself! 

BUT YOU WILL NOT! 

You will never give up on yourself! Why? Because I refuse to let you! I have been there and I know that change can and will happen when YOU are ready for them! So together we will make you strong enough to endure the journey of changing from Negative to Positive! We will work on achieving YOUR goals together! You are not alone! Together we can achieve anything! Like seeing you smile! Like loving yourself, your body, your emotions, and God for giving you the strength to CHOOSE to fight for yourself! 

I want you to do it, just to prove you can! I did! I proved myself wrong so many times on this journey and surpassed so many of my goals! You can do it too! 

The question is: will you? 

PM me if you are ready to find out who you really are again!

Become Extraordinary

Ok, so over the past couple of weeks I have decided to start doing things to get out of my comfort zone, because let's face it when you stay in your comfort zone things become stagnant and boring after awhile and I am soooo not a boring person, and it's been difficult and challenging for me but also really fun and rewarding! 

For instance, I LOVE dancing! I can even dance in front of people with no big concerns, however, TEACHING people to dance....... Soooooo out of my comfort zone! I do not consider myself a teacher personality but more of the preacher personality! Lol, I can dance all day long and motivate you to shake what your mamma gave you, but teaching you HOW to shake it is beyond me! Lol

So, I became CIZE Live certified so I can actually start teaching people step by step on how to dance! (Tomorrow morning btw @Super Fly Fitness 9:00 am) This has challenged me in some new ways and yes it's scary but also very rewarding! I LOVE having this opportunity to do something new, get out of my comfort zone, and see how I do! 

So today I'm going to challenge you to do one small thing to get out of your comfort zone! Please share with me what you did! If you do, I might share something else that I have been trying lately to get out of my comfort zone!

Throwback Transformation

So I decided to kind of do a throwback today to my first ever transformation video I made! Lol

This was two years ago! 

I think it might be time to update and do a new one! Lol

But I hope this one inspires some of you to take that leap of faith!

Becoming Organized

I have to say, I am enjoying my project today! Lol....  Getting some new binders created to help get and keep me organized! This one is just my precious one to hold all my CIZE Live notes, sign ups, and extras! (Yes, I said my precious... Lol)

However, this binder has influenced me to become more organized with all aspects of my Beachbody business! Who knew: when you find your passion you become more willing to spend your time creating that passion. Lol... So I'm creating a binder for my team, my clients, and my dreams and goals! 

As my business builds it becomes even more important to stay organized! What's some fun ways that help you to stay organized!

Use what you have!

Boom baby!  Welcome Beta Phase! Man, I forgot how much I love💕 Beta phase💕 of this program! My fat was really crying this morning 😭😭😭!  It was awesome! Lol 😎

Seriously though,  how many of you have a Beachbody program but have never really used it fully?

I want you to take this quote to heart today from Zig Ziglar: "It's not what you've got, it's what you use that makes a difference!"

I know so many people who say they have programs and they don't work, but let's be honest with ourselves, did you even really use them and follow them through the entire program,  even once? 

I doubt it, otherwise you would have seen and FELT results! So today, make a commitment to yourself to use your program FULLY! You invested into yourself,  you might as well make that investment work for you!  😆
