Fuel Yourself

It's AMAZING to me how eating different foods makes me feel. I admit this past week i haven't worked out as much as i should have or eaten as i should have. These 2 go hand in hand for me and i am sure for everyone. The less you do, the less you feel like doing. This past week has been physically and mentally tough as my body hasn't been fueled properly and IT STINKS!!
DO MORE. PUSH YOURSELF. Today, i woke up with that mentality AND it is working for me! BE INSPIRED! STAY INSPIRED! XO

NEW LIFE CHOICE

WOW! I've been all over the board with what i want to be when i grow up! Growing up, all i ever wanted to do was become a movie producer. I graduated high school and went on to college to pursue that dream. While away in school, i made a few bad choices. Towards the end of the school year, i was involved in a bad car accident that altered my life plan. Ever since that day, i have questioned what i wanted to do for years. I enrolled myself into cosmetology school and realized i had a knack for doing hair! I LOVED it! I found out i was pregnant a week before graduating. I went on to take my cosmetology exam to become a licensed hairstylist in the state of Florida. I passed the theory with flying colors. I missed the practical half by 2 points. Instead of kicking it up a notch and re-taking the exam, i went back into depressed "whoa is me" mode. I decided to stay working as a waitress/bartender while i was pregnant. (Living the dream - i know:) After my son was born, i decided it was best to stay at home with him. I was back to "what should i do with my life?".

My son was so attached to me that i ended up being a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM). It has been awesome! I wouldn't trade the time in the world for anything! My son just turned 3! I took on a part-time job last Novemeber and LOVE it but wanted and needed MORE for myself. Just recently, i signed up to become a BEACHBODY COACH! When my friend, Dara, decided to become a coach, she put it out there she was looking for people who wanted to change their life. Her posts literally tugged at me and pulled me into this world of GETTING FIT, FEELING GOOD, and INSPIRING OTHERS. I signed up to be a COACH to keep myself accountable and inspire others. I am excited about this NEW JOURNEY and i'm finding my way in this world. Being 31 without a "LIFEPLAN" is something i've always had to deal with - but it's been my personal choices that have brought me to this place. I can't go back and change those choices - BUT, i can make the choices i have in the future to better my life and that is what i am doing! XO

Commitment

I have always struggled with a healthy body image. I've always thought i need to lose a little weight and tone up. When putting clothes on, i change outfits at least 3 times before deciding "this looks ok". Since i can remember, when i see a picture of a fit muscular body, i stare in "awe" and wish i looked like that - YET, never do anything about it, except for the occasional walk/run, etc. In the past, i have had gym memberships and even personal trainers BUT never committed to the nutrition part of it so i never achieved what i wanted.

About 2 months ago i started Focus T25. I was doing great with the program and looked and felt better. 3 weeks into it, we went on vacation and things just got messy. I fell off the bandwagon and struggled to get back on. I failed myself yet again.

Today, i am committing to achieving the body i've always wanted. I am starting another Beachbody program called "21 Day Fix". They say it takes 21 days to form a habit and i will have done just that if i can complete this program. So many people in my life tell me i am crazy for "going on a diet". This isn't a diet. It's a lifestyle - a new way of living. The 21 day fix is a fool proof way of getting nutrition right. It teaches you correct portions of each food group each day. The idea is you will get use to this way of eating and continue on with it after the 21 days is over.

I am excited to start this adventure and get it right this time. Follow me on this journey if you'd like and if its something you think you would be interested in - contact me and we can make that happen! xo
