The Holistic PCOS Chick

Of course since Kloe is little she has no problem being bright and shiny  first thing in the a.m. even with waking up in the middle of the night... I'm sure you Moms feel my pain ... but this Momma needs a little extra boost to get going after waking up. Especially after doing taxes last night! That will definitely suck the life right out of a person! I totally feel crosseyed today and could care less if I ever see another number again!! That's why I'm super grateful for Shakeology! It's complete changed how I function first thing in the morning. It's super easy on my sensitive digestive system and it provides me with a steady flow of energy all day without over stimulating my body or causing me to crash. Not to mention it wakes me up and keeps me going with a spunky toddler all day. I ❤ it! #MyShakeologyStory #GoldenScoop #Sweepstakes #tbbcoach411

I felt….STUCK....FRUSTRATED...and generally UNHAPPY with the way life was going….I was struggling to find the “happy me” and "my smile". I just couldn't get out of the negative funk I was in and it felt like I would be stuck FOREVER. No matter what I tried I couldn't get a grip on my life, my health or my weight and all I wanted was a solid simple solution. Once I started surrounding myself with AMAZING and SUPPORTIVE people, learning how to start making healthier and consistent food choices, and adding FUN exercises into my BUSY life as a MOM...that's when I finally hit my turning point! That's when my LIFE STARTED TO CHANGE! Now I am on my way to being in the best shape of my life and I'm 40!! With TWO kids that are 10 yrs apart, I may be busier then before but I know what works and what has improved every aspect of my life at 40!! **See below...You don't want to miss this** I am looking for 10 WOMEN (you DON'T have to be a Mom to joi

Top 3 MUST DO'S Being aware of your calorie intake is super important, but its only a small peice of the puzzle when it comes to getting healthier. Here are the top 3 things I did and continue to do to improve my health... 1. Be consistent with healthy habits. AKA eat more whole foods, less sugar and exercise 3-4 times a weeks.  2. Ditch all the chemicals and additives. Trade out cleaners, airfreshners and anything with dies or perfumes for healthy non toxic options. 3. Pay attention to your portion sizes and eat consistently through the day. #top3 #chemicalssuck #healthychoices

Epic Mommy fail kinda day! My daughter took advantage of a rare moment , grabbed my pillow and decided to have a little FUN ... Let's just say I was less the pleased ! Before doing anything rash I decided to call my hubby . He's awesome and talked me down off the ledge  so that I could CHILL and focus. Not a great start to my day... Poisitive thought for the day...the pillow can be replaced, I didn't blow my stack and I was able to clean everything up easily enough. Also a BIG thank you to Kaleb my awesome son who came down to watch his sister so I could clean up the mess without any added disasters.   #mommyfail #toddlerdays #omg

Being a busy Mom I have to keep things super simple. Thankfully "simple" doesn't have to mean boring though. I like to use containers to measure my portions. That helps me take the guess work out of things. And I also like to eat foods that I know my family will like too! The meals I make typically have 5 ingredients or less. Which makes putting meals together a sinch! Here's a lunch example from the other day. For more info on the containers you're welcome to email me at fitfaband38@gmail.com This salad was my post workout healthy FILLING lunch today 😙! This shows that you don't have to starve yourself to reach your goals and get the esults you want. You just have to eat the right foods in the right portions. Easy peasy! 1.5💚 1💛 1❤

My workout today was... ummm... well... interesting! When I finally got motivated to workout the weather had turned yucky ☔,  so I opted for some FUN with Turbo Fire 💪👟. Its fast paced and has great music! Just what I needed since I was in a mood today 😕. After popping in the DVD Kloe started off working out with me. Then she quickly got bored 😯 and decided it would be more fun to lay on the floor right in my path 😲. Awesome! So about 20 min in while I'm huffing and puffing she says, "Mommy! Pony tail!!" What?! So I stopped and quickly did some hair 💇. Then 10 min from the end just when I hit my groove I hear, "Mommy! Potty!" Really?! Ugh 😬... Regardless the small interruptions it felt good to get it done, and even if we had to stop for potty time I'd rather stop then clean up a mess. Do you workout with toddler interuptions too? Share your stories below. I'd love to hear them! #toddlerroadblock #mommydomyhair #workinoutwithmytoddler

That moment you leave for the grocery store hungry and realize you forgot the healthy snacks! NO!!!! #dughmoment #groceryshoppingwhilehungry
