The D Word Part 2

It's Your Turn

I cannot tell you how excited I am for this MAJOR announcement! 

I've had so many people come to me and tell me they want to get into shape but that they're scared to start. They're afraid it'll be too hard and that they'll fail. 

First of all, if you start working out and stick with it, you can't FAIL! 

You can only fail if you don't try. 

Second, this program is designed to EASE you into fitness. It's designed to challenge you, but not destroy you. 

Make the decision to change your life for the better. 

*I am ONLY accepting 2-3 people who are serious about changing their lives to join my P90 test group the starts in October. 

Contact me if you are interested, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project. <3

*Again, feel free to make fun of me, I know that I am not the best at videos ;)

You Are Beautiful

The D Word

Let's be honest. There are a lot of misconceptions about depression. It's more common than you think!

P.S. You are more than welcome to laugh at me! I sometimes get lost in my thoughts and they don't come out super well ;)

Even more than my measurements,

 I can finally hold my plank again!

I can walk up the 3 flights of stairs to my apartment without feeling like I'm going to die.

I can fit into my skinny jeans again!

Most importantly, I'm FEELING GOOD. 

I'm not working out, eating right, and constantly posting selfies because I want to 'brag'. I'm posting them because I want people to know that you can meet your fitness goals! 

I'm posting them because I want the HELP people! 

This is my passion, and I want to help as many people as I can get to their fitness goals!

Alrighty, it's your turn! What are your goals?

Reach Those Goals!

My First Video!

Alrighty blogger world! I made my first video that helps explain why I do what I do! :) 

Not gonna lie, it was a little awkward talking to a camera but keep checking back for more videos! I'm definitely going to be posting more 

Vision Board

Welcome to my virtual vision board! This is a picture list of all the things that motivate me, goals that I'm working towards, and things that I love! 

Vision boards are great for keeping yourself motivated and remembering why you make goals in the first place :)

Get my 5k under 30 minutes again.

Learn to do something cool with my nails

Get my flexibility back!

Go to the temple at least once a month

Get my feet flat and legs straight in down dog

Beat my WOS time

Get my core strength back

What would be on your vision board?

YOU

Think.

 What is the most important thing in the world to you?

 Who are the most important people to you? 

Me? My religion and my family. 

I love my family more than anything in this world. My family has a history of knee problems, mental disabilities, and high blood pressure. My husband has a MAJOR family history of cancer. I've already had surgery on my right knee, been on crutches 3 times, and am on Zoloft for depression and anxiety. (Mostly for post-partum) My husband has been told by his doctor that he needs to start getting regular colonoscopys starting at age 30. 30! 

I hate pills. I hate being in the hospital. I hate feeling low and like I don't want to move. SO, I take preventative action. I try and eat well and workout. Now that's not to say that I don't indulge every once in a while, but I try and follow the 9:1 rule. 

Ever noticed how you feel after you've just eaten your weight in french fries and cookies? Ever noticed how you've felt after eating well for a day? There's a BIG difference isn't there? 

Ever noticed how you feel after you workout? AWESOME, right? 

Did you know that working out and eating well helps people with depression and anxiety IMMENSELY? I'm not saying it cures it, but it sure helps! Natural 'happy' chemicals are released into your body boosting your mood and energy. 

You can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on pills, doctors visits, physical therapy, etc, OR you can take care of yourself and save yourself the stress of hospital bill on top of hospital bill. 

SO, I eat and workout for my family. I want to live long enough to see my children grow up and have children of their own. I want my children to grow up learning to love their body and how to take care of themselves. 

Find your WHY and never forget it!
