My PCOS Journey

Frustrated, anxious, exhausted, unbalanced, bloated... These were just a few of the things I was feeling after baby #2.

Some of the things I was feeling were not under my control, my daughter didn't start sleeping well until around month #10 and my PCOS symptoms were in full gear again. However I was determined to focus on what I could change, like making healthy choices and being consistent daily with fitness, nutrition, reading my Bible and staying focused on the positive.

With the aid of my accountability group I was able to restart my healthy routine I had obtained before Kloe came along. I would definitely not have gotten as far as I have today with out them!! Since baby #2, I have lost 25 lbs and A LOT of inches! My lower half has shrunk incredibly! I become strong enough to run a half marathon, something I thought I would never do. And I continue to help others make healthy changes daily too!

If you have been feeling like I was after baby #2, message me. I understand and we can discuss a plan of action to get you on your way. Don't suffer in silence and feel like you will never reach your goals. That is simply not true! If I can do it anyone can.

MEAL PLAN

Planning meals out ahead of time should not make you want to cross your eyes and faint at the thought! It's actually pretty simple when you think about it. It just takes a few minutes.

Guilt FREE Desert

Okay, so I'll admit that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. What I like about the 21 Day Fix program is that I can still live like a normal person and have a little desert with out having to stress. So the other night I came up with this yummy recipe: ~1-2 nectarines (depends on the size of the fruit and if your feeding family too) = 1 PURPLE container ~2-3 Shakes of Cinnamon ~Handful of almonds or pecans = 1 BLUE container ~1 YELLOW container full of Organic Oat and Honey Cereal (I actually didn't need to use the entire container) 1.Slice apricots and place on foil. 2. Sprinkle with Cinnamon and wrap up the foil gently. 3. Place in 350° oven for 15-20 min. 4. Roast nuts in a pan for a few min on low-med low heat. 5. Place baked apricots on a plate and top with a little cereal and nuts. You can drizzle a little juice let from the foil over the whole thing to kick up some sweetness, but it s not necessary.
Love this! It really is true. It's not always easy to shift our perspective when we're in the thick of it! Life can be HARD and it's easy to get caught up in fear, anger and staring at all the problems we face. But, by changing the way we think-- for the better  😄 ! It's worth the challenge we face in the process to make that shift happen. Prayer always helps and Jesus is always listening! Whether you think He is or not, I assure you He's listening and answers are coming.  ❤  "And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us." 1 John 5:14 Listening to those who've been through a tough spot and come out the other side gives hope. Listening to audible or reading books on positive motivation is encouraging. Surrounding yourself with other encouraging, happy and excited people helps too! The main thing I'm learning from going through personal struggles is to keep pursuing having...
