The Holistic PCOS Chick

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...

I'm not gonna focus on all the mistakes I've made in the past few months. I'm just gonna focus on moving forward with my goals from here on out. Learning to focus on what you can control rather is way better then stressing over the past. 1st workout  post 3-Day Refresh  felt really good today!

She's glad she doesn't have to starve herself to lose weight. "I'm so excited about this dinner plate. It really hits home that I ...

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...

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...
