Monday Momentum:: Why am I doing this?

Momentum:strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events

At first I just wanted to loose the extra weight that I was carrying from having a baby.

Now:

It's about being healthy-

About feeling good-

About being the best wife and mom I can be-

About loving who I am-

About teaching my boys that natural food is good food-

And that treats are good too 😉

About helping others become healthy-

Helping them gain control of their lives-

Helping them feel good in their own skin-

Not comparing themselves to others-

Living life to the fullest-

Realizing our blessings-

Setting goals-

Working towards dreams-

Turning them into reality-

Helping others do the same!!

Because life is about more than looking good in a bikini!! Sure that can make you smile BUT 👆 if you don't do the other things, you can still be unhappy.

Life is about making meaningful relationships. Taking advantage of those opportunities that can truly change your life. Taking nothing for granted.

So here today, I hope this is able to help set your passion into momentum. There's no reason not to do what you love!! So get out there and live your life to the fullest!!

Happy 3rd Blog-aversary!!

It's been three (3) years to the day since I began blogging. I've taken a LONG break lately as I have had many transitions in my life. But in the past few weeks, I've been considering sharing more about the next stage of this journey called life with you all. In three short years, I have gone from motivating others to experiencing weight gain and depression. Being delivered from said depression and fighting to lose the weight. I'd say sometimes in life, motivation shows up in the difficult times and then sometimes it's no where to be found-- a bit of a roller coaster really. And about a year ago, I was tired. Tired of not getting enough sleep, tired of the structure and I needed a break. This break cost me about 20 lbs and goodness has it been tough to get my mind right again. But I'm experiencing life!! Enjoying the moment! And making memories with my family and friends that have been so good for my soul. And in this season, ...

The Summit...Would You Start Over?

So as most of you know, I went to Nashville last month for Beachbody's national convention called Summit. It is the most amazing event where people who's purpose is to help others get together, share wonderful ideas/trainings and completely refill your cup before you go back home. This year one of the speakers was talking about completing a workout program in it's entirety when we returned home. And they were telling us not to start over if we hit some bumps in the road. Now, I for one, am a habitual "starter over" so I probably turned a little red (those who know me know how a can get flushed in a split second). In a room of about 14k people, I was feeling like they were talking right to me. But then the best example was given...when you begin a hike/climb up a mountain, if you didn't like how fast you went or your progress in the first few hours, would you start over??? Um...NO way!! That seems like a no-brainer. There's no way that you would ...

Big Barrel Souvenir

This past weekend I experienced my first music festival, Big Barrel in Dover, Delaware. We were able to see Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Lynrd Skynrd and many others. It was a super fun and a much needed get-away. Get-Away was the key word!! I got away from all of my healthy eating habits too!! If following the 21 Day Fix eating plan, it would have been a weekend full of cheats and yellows. I had loaded baked potato, pulled pork sandwiches, fries and Olive Garden Pasta. I'm coming clean! I don't feel guilty because it doesn't happen all the time, but I don't feel GOOD! My body is mad at me and I can feel it. I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a 5lb weight gain!!! Ahhhh!! Five pounds of bloat and crap in just three days! Not exactly the souvenir I was hoping for... So, now what do I do??? I hop right back on my routine. I'm beginning the 21 Day Fix Extreme today along with...
