Ive come a Long way on this journey!

The past year has been full of changes for me.  Maybe its the fact that my children *nearly* sleep through the night now and I once again can think with a clear head.  Maybe its just getting older.  Maybe its my new life as a mom and property owner, we've been stationed here for almost 10 years now and are truly a part of the community now.

I don't know.  But I like it.

3 months of work!  ...plus birthdays, wine and Christmas, no starving, only fun to get these results!

Wondering what the cultish following was all about, I jumped on the Beachbody bandwagon just to give it a try in December and will never look back.

so many inches of fat gone for good! 

I am a health nut at heart, I love being moderately fit and healthy.  Staying home to be a full time mom seemed to make taking care of myself impossible.  I cannot ignore my kids to get long workouts in.  We did not have money for me to go to a gym, especially not when I would have to add child care into that cost!  Being on a tight budget I was eating a lot of pastas and homemade white breads, beans and grains.

I was tired all the time and started slowly gaining weight back after I stopped breastfeeding.  Darn it.

It was time to kick it in gear.  I needed help, knowledge, education and guidance!

I got the 21 Day Fix package and loved every single thing about it.  The food containers made prepping my meals effortless.  Nothing I needed to remember, no calculations and NO STARVING.  Im a food girl.  I love good food, I adore cooking and I refuse to starve!

The shake I was so very skeptical of.  How on earth could this expensive item be any better than all the other shakes I have tried?  Well, now I know.  You get what you pay for and this stuff must be golden!  Long term energy, every day.  I no longer care about sweets and sugar AT. ALL.  Did I mention how delicious Shakeology is?  Yeah, its that good!  The superfood thing is not a fad, health and nutrition IS NOT A FAD its a way of life.  Eating well and being healthy should be everyones passion.

i workout in my kitchen, sometimes in my tiny living room and ALWAYS with a child or animal hanging off of me!

Now, I do my 30 minute workouts about 5 days a week.  I eat healthy most of the time.  If I fall off track I bring out my Fix containers for a little reminder.  I enjoy cake during birthday celebrations, nachos when I need a spicy treat and wine when I feel like celebrating!  (getting through an entire day of motherhood IS INDEED a reason to celebrate, btw)

i am on the smallest food plan.  i enjoy lots of healthy foods all day..  and sometimes chocolate and wine!

I have lost so much fat and gained so much muscle.  I feel good, no, i feel FANTASTIC!  I feel awesomely fantastically phenomenal.

a healthy and happy mommy of 2.  i am proud of my body and all my hard work!

I now enjoy Coaching others on their own journeys to health.  It is the best job in the world!  Living a healthy lifestyle and encouraging others to do so!

I Coach groups nearly every week of every month now.  Ask me how you can be in my next group!
