I know I’ve been slacking lately and definitely could use to tone up!! We’re gonna start of right by prepping the healthy way! No C-R-A-Z-Y diet restrictions or furiously exercising for hours to work off the winter pounds. Yay!! Which means less stress and eating real food! And an extra bonus, because you’ll be fueling your body correctly you won’t be craving junk food, sweets or heavy carbs like before.

Dear scale, I'm so sorry but I have to break up with you. I used to hang on your every word, and value your opinion, but lately I really feel like you have been with holding important information from me! All you seem to do is discourage me and my friend's!! You never tell me how much muscle I have gained, how much fat I have lost or tell me awesome I look in my pants. However you'll be happy to show me how big my butt has gotten and make me feel like an elephant! So today I am parting ways with you. I know its difficult, but you will be ok. In all seriousness my recommendation on the scale is to hide it or get rid of it completely! It doesn't paint a accurate picture of what is actually going on inside your body. It can't tell you all the awesome changes your body is undergoing every minute of the day. It can't tell you if you have lost fat or gained muscle. It can't tell you how amazing you look in your pants and it can't show you the love you deserve...

My past had made me so fearful to make choices that I would literally wait to long and miss AMAZING opportunities out of fear. My thoughts at the time went something like this, "If I make that choice would it really be a good outcome? What if I fail? What if I succeed?!! Hmm... I don't know if I am ready for this?" I talk to people daily and hear some of these same fears. So restasured you are not alone if you have had any of those thoughts before. We do have to remember that FEAR is captivating. It holds us back from improvement. What is failure? Is it really lack of success? NO! Failure is just a useful learning tool to guide you, mold you, help refine you and show you were the errors are, so you can work to become better and stronger. So the next time you are weighing your options, speak some truth to yourself. Ask yourself "What could go right from this opportunity?" Then allow yourself the room to learn and succeed!
