No Going Back!

What a difference a face makes! Looking back I realize my face was basically telling me that my health was in the toilet! Ouch!! As you can see from the photo on the Left, before I got started with my healthy journey I was suffering from some major bloat plus some health issues that no one could diagnose. It was a very frustrating time for me and I was doing everything I could to muster a smile!
I had horrible immune issues and I was dealing with hormonal problems which caused major weight gain and mood swings!! I was not sleeping well, and was battling with chronic fatigue. You name it, and I tried it to get healthy again!

I eventually hit a wall as nothing I found worked for very long. I was inconsistent and fell prey to some pretty wicked cravings and bad habits. I really DID want to get control over my life, my health and get the HAPPY ME back again, however I felt stuck and didn't know what to do next. I had tried it all and failed misserably!

They say when you pray the Almigty listens and I feel like He heard my prayers and offered a solid solition that He knew I could handle. I practically stumbled upon Shakeology and Beachbody fitness one night!

At first I scoffed at the thought that it or a Coach could help me, but something about their process caught my eye and I knew it was different then anything else I had tried. So I decided to give it a shot for at least the 30 day trial and see what would happen. My thought was, at least they'd give me my money back if I failed miserably again. Which I totally thought I was going to do! Thankfully that wasn't the case!

I was super impressed by the attention to detail and interest in keeping things simple and organic! No more working out for hours with little to show for the effort, and I was able to get away from chemicals and additives, which are something my body just can't handle having PCOS. My 1st week on the program I was noticing a difference in how I felt and over the course of one challenge (90 days) I lost 40lbs!!

Shortly after I became pregnant with baby #2 and I gained some weight back and used the same process to lose all the weight again plus more! Anyhow, there are more details, but I don't want to bore you. The main thing is, once I decided to focus on the important things instead of quick fixes, that's when I started to see the positive changes stick!

With the proper nutrition daily and working out for 30 min a few times a week... I started to shed the extra lbs and my body changed! And I've kept it off!! And although it took some time to find something that worked, I'm thankful for the process/opportunity the Almighty gave me. It not only changed me on the outside but changed me on the inside forever! I am also now in better health then I was in my 20's and I'm 40!! And I no longer battle with immune issues or have problems balancing my hormone levels, which is HUGE!

This has been an amazing journey for me! If you've been feeling stuck too, I don't mind lending a hand to help out. Just comment below or personal message me and we can chat more and get you on your road to success too!

How to get your kids to eat healthier!

The best way I know of getting the kids to eat healthier is to have them help you prepare the food! Egg muffins are a super simple meal to make, and an easy way to get the kids involved too! All you have to do is cut up your toppings, lay them aside and mix the eggs. Once you're done mixing the eggs (I recommend the adult do this if the kids are little), add the egg mixture to the muffin tin evenly, and then have the kids sprinkle in the toppings. Easy peasy! In this recipe we used 12 eggs, added 1/4 cup onion, 1/2 cup tomato and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake @ 375° for 20 minutes. I'm so proud of Miss K for helping me make these today! 💕 She did such a great job helping! And once they were done she was super excited to chow down on the fruits of her labor.

The battle is on!

Ughhh...The sickies have made it to our home!  All I want to do is run for cover or put on a gas mask and pray no one coughs, wipes their nose on me or sneezes in my face! Haahhaaa! Such wishful thinking for mommy of three! There's not even the slightest chance I won't at least get sneezed on or have someone wiping their buggers on my shirt. Hey! That’s life when you have little kids. And expecting to have beautiful tops that don’t look like condors eliminated all over them is everyone woman’s dream, but not necessarily a reality! Oh, and how I’d love to wear beautiful clothing on a regular basis. But for now, I’ll settle for my t-shirts, yoga pants and the occasional dress up moment for a special outing. Fancy clothing will have to wait for this Momma, because I don’t get a lot of time to mess around with being ultra-stylish. When I do stop to try and sort out my outfits, do my hair or brush my teeth… is usually the time my toddler or the 5 yr old start going through my
