Letting The Cat Out of The Bag

Let me start by saying, No, I'm NOT pregnant. We have two beautiful boys and are so grateful for them!!  Not trying for a third right now :)

So I've let you in on a few hints that I have this HUGE goal for next year and I haven't even said what it is. That's because I've been scared!  I've only told a few family/friends about this and that was scary too. Afraid of judgement and the fact that others will have expectations of me and that I'm not strong enough yet. But I've got to put that STUFF aside!  For the past five months this I've been thinking about it.  Thinking, "um... Really?  This is the goal that I want to achieve?" And the more I think about, the more I tell myself, "yes." Why not?

So here goes the first step, (deep breath)... in 2015, my goal is to compete in a bikini competiton (yikes!!). 

There it is!  For some, you may ask why? And I've thought about this a lot because I have asked myself that same thing. So in my life, I have been notorious for stopping short of goals and not giving myself the best of me. If I'm doing something for someone else, it's easy for me to attain a goal and complete a project because I am accountable to that other person. But with my goals, I have to stop doing that. And what better way to break out of that vicious cycle than to hold myself accountable to YALL and go all the way with a goal once and for all!!
I'm a mom of two boys and I tell my challengers all the time that they can accomplish their dreams, and I want that to!!  


Do I have a lot of work ahead of me??!!!  ABSOLUTELY!!  I have a lot of "fluff" that needs to come off and then, I will begin prepping for a competition. I haven't given myself an exact timeline yet. I will work until some of the fluff is gone. But I have a feeling it will take between 4 and 5 months to prep. 

I plan on sticking with my workouts, and maybe doubling up on some days. I have to "clean" up my diet and dinner portions.   In February, the 21 Day Fix Extreme is released and I will be completing that. And when my fluff is gone and I am ready to begin prep, I will be doing Body Beast which is an at-home extreme fitness program through Beachbody. 

Can I prep entirely at home for this goal without stepping foot in a gym??  That's the plan!  Realistically, I don't have time to go to a gym and I don't want to take more time away from my boys. And by the research I've done, this program should be able to get me awesome results!!

I'll keep y'all posted throughout this journey, because it will definitely be a crazy one!!

Happy Friday!!

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 ...

Transformation Tuesday:: 21 Day Fix Results-Round1

The results are in!  I lost exactly 4 lbs while doing the Fix fitness program.  Now, I left out the portion part, because that is where I strayed and hence why I am doing a round 2.  I saw the most weight-loss the first week and then smaller losses the second two weeks. Planning & Prepping!!  is what made me successful!  The days that I didn't have to think about what I was going to eat, were the best days.  I stuck to the plan for the first week really well, and then I "eye-balled" it.  Did my results reflect that?  Absolutely!  Could I have lost more?  Absolutely!  Am I disappointed in myself?  Yes and No.   Throughout this entire year, I have really made an effort to make this a lifestyle and sometimes, life happens.  We eat with friends and we eat out a lot.  It just isn't something practical to say that we are going to eat at home every night.  However, I know that I need to make my mind strong...
