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!

Building Your Family’s Healthy Eating Habits by Cooking and Eating Together

Including your children in the meal preparation process increases their awareness and appetite for healthy eating.

Help! My toddlers like to HIDE my Stuff!

If you have a toddler you'll totally relate to this pic/story! Especially if your toddler ❤'s to get into your things and hide them . Yesterday we decided to go downtown  to pick up some essentials for the family. When I went to pay I found that my bank card  was missing ! I searched and searched and couldn't find it ! We were super far from home, so I called my hubs  who saved the day by transferring funds  over to my business card. That way we could at least get some grocery's  for the family without having to return home. To add an extra twist to the day, my bank decided to flag ⚠ my purchases for fraud !! SAY WHAT?!! Thankfully my son  was there to help out while I made several phone calls to the bank to get everything fixed. Once we got home I went searching for the missing card.
