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 :)

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!

Before

Alrighty blogger world, I recently became a Beachbody coach!

I know what you're thinking... "A Beachbody coach? Those guys are annoying! All they want you to do is buy their stuff and workout all day everyday."

An image of a ripped sweaty half naked man and woman that looks like a man eating raw beef with one hand an lifting a dumbbell the size of your head in the other used to come to mind when I heard someone was a Beachbody coach.

But over the past couple of years I've been researching it trying to decide if it was something that I wanted to do. Turns out, it is! I'll admit, I was skeptical at first but so far things are going good! I was worried that people would see me as one of those mindless meat heads, or a pushy salesman. I am hear to say that I am neither!

First off, yes, I do want to build my team and my clients, but ONLY because I wholeheartedly believe in the programs that Beachbody produces! I want to HELP people! Whether it be with their health and fitness goals, or their financial situation.

Being a personal trainer was one of my favorite jobs aside from the selling that I had to do. I hated being that pushy buy! buy! buy! person... I believed in myself and my ability to help people reach their goals, but I was working for a well know gym that didn't seem to mind upping the price of personal training every month or so. Eventually it got to the point where I would be trying to sell to someone who could barely afford their gym membership! I hated being under the foot of a corporation, so I quit. It was a hard decision. I LOVED my clients, and I LOVED watching them reach their goals, but I couldn't work for a soul sucking company.

About a month ago, I had my first baby. I'll admit that I didn't work out as much as I should have, and didn't eat super healthy while I was pregnant. My first trimester was nausea land, and my second and third trimesters were force-myself-to-eat-playland. In hind site, I wish I would have forced myself to workout more and eat healthier. I'm not saying I was a total slob and did absolutely nothing. I just didn't do as much as I could have. I didn't gain that much extra weight either, but I lost A LOT of muscle tone. It makes me want to cry because of how much I lost. I was beefin up and lookin good.

I want to get back to that place! SOOOOO.....

Here I am internet! All 154 pounds of me. (I was 156.6 when I took the pictures)

Pardon my dirty bathroom....

I am on my journey to getting back into shape. My goal weight is 135. That's 19 lbs. TOTALLY doable! 

I hope that posting my 'Before' pictures will help keep me accountable and motivate me to push through those hard day when I want to stuff my face with cupcakes and french fries. 

Want to join me in reaching your goals? I would LOVE to hear from you! I have challenge groups going every month that are full of people who are all working towards a personal goal and keeping themselves accountable! Message me for details, or just to chat! :)

My WHY

Last year I made it known that through most of high school I battled an eating disorder. (You can read about it HERE) I struggled with my self worth and self esteem. Through some deep soul searching, praying, and overcoming some major medical problems, I realized I was going about getting the results I wanted in the wrong way. 

I decided that I wanted to learn all I could about health and fitness. The more I learned and put what I was learning into practice, the better I felt about myself. I started to realize that I don't have to be a size 2 in order to feel good about myself! 

The feeling you have when you are genuinely happy is the best feeling ever and I've spent my life trying to help others feel the same. No one deserves to feel like they are inadequate simply because they wear a certain size of clothing. 

I never want my daughter to go through what I went through. I want her to love herself and others no matter what they look like. 

This is why I decided to become a Beach Body coach. I want to help others take charge of their health and feel like they are on top of the world! 

Why do I bring this up? Because Monday there will be a SNEAK PEEK Facebook group where they will tell you all about coaching. We will share testimonies and everything you ever wanted to know about what BeachBody is all about. All you have to do is listen and participate by watching other coaches stories. If you've ever considered becoming a coach, I would HIGHLY recommend this sneak peek group! 

What's better than being able to earn an income for living a healthy life??

What Get's YOU In The Mood?

Let's face it.... the hardest part about running, is getting your butt out the door. Once you hit the pavement or the dread mill, what tunes do you rock out to to keep your legs going? 

I like songs with a good beat, that talk about a hot body, or not giving up. 

Here's 20 songs that keep me jammin through my run:

1: Turbulence - Steve Aoki & Laidback Luke

2: Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo

3: Hot Like Wow - Nadia Oh

4: Your Body - Christina Aguilera

5: We Run the Night - Havana Brown

6: Warrior -Ke$ha ( I like to play this song when I hit my wall... it makes me remember that I'm a WARRIOR!)

7: Something For the DJs - Pitbull

8: Problem - Natalia Kills

9: Pound the Alarm - Nicki Minaj

10: No Sigue Modas a.k.A Ella No Sigue Modas- Don Omar

11: Live It Up - Jennifer Lopez

12: I Will Not Bow - Breaking Benjamin (another wall song... AWESOME)

13: Hello -Karmin

14: Can't Hold Us Down - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

15: Dark Horse -Katy Perry

16: Let the Groove Get In - Justin Timberlake

17: Let's Go - Calvin Harris

18: Zumba - Don Omar

19: Sexy Movimiento - Wisin & Tandel

20: She Wolf - Shakira

Of course, this list is constantly changing, so I'd like to know what YOU run to!

Oh Lupita

Who watched the Oscars Sunday night? There were a lot of good moments, but the one that stuck with me the most was this beautiful lady and her humility.

No matter your dreams, fitness or not, THEY ARE VALID! 

Don't ever stop pursuing your dreams.

 Don't ever give up, and don't EVER let people make you believe otherwise!
