A few words to live by. Helping others will lift you up.

So, I was watching some tv this morning when my little Caitlin came up, grabbed my remote and started flipping through the channels... I finally snatched it back from her, but when I went to change my channel back, I couldn't help but hesitate and listen for a second... I ended up leaving it on the channel for the next 30 minutes and took in an amazing message that I thought I would share with all of you. 

Happy Sunday my friends! I hope you all have a blessed day! 

Lose up to 15 Pounds in 21 Days with my FREE Online Support & Accountability Group!

What if I told you that you could lose up to 15 pounds in just 21 days and you could still enjoy your WINE & CHOCOLATE!?  What??? It's all about portion-control and working out consistently for just 30 minutes a day.  And to make things super-easy (for those who tend to get easily confused by a bunch of calorie counting or measuring things out...such as myself), the program comes with 7 color-coded portion control containers.  If the designated type of food fits into the container...you can eat it. It comes with a meal plan, workout tracker, charts and breakdowns of what types of foods can go into which containers... it's seriously genius! (green=veggies, purple=fruits, etc) If I can figure it out with my dumb blonde moments and pregnesia... you guys will have no problem! 

So, I'm looking for a group of people who are ready to give this program a try with me to see what kind of amazing results they can get in just 21 days! You'll get everything you need to succeed, including a free spot in my online support and accountability group to keep you on track from start to finish!! Let me know if you're interested, because spaces will be limited and based on first-come, first-serve! I'd be more than happy to answer questions you may have about the program and look forward to getting the group kicked off on Monday, May 26th! (So just think... you could be 15 pounds lighter before Summer even gets here!!!) WOO HOO!!!

Reserve your spot in my challenge group before it fills up!

In honor of Throwback Thursday & College Graduations coming up...

In honor of Throwback Thursday (#tbt) and graduations coming up... I thought I would take a moment to share my own college graduation story:

As many of you may or may not know, my dream was to graduate from Virginia Tech, where I began my college education! But little did I know at the time, God had another plan for me and I got pregnant with my sweet little Pete. But I made the decision to keep pushing towards my goal to graduate college, moved to northern Va to live with my now husband and transferred to George Mason University! 

It was something that I always knew I would do for myself! As easy as it would have been to give up and choose not to go back to school, I was determined and driven and wasn't going to look back and have regrets one day! It wasn't easy... And it took some extra time, but I did it! 

When I finished my last class in August 2010, I was 8 months pregnant with Nathan! I actually received my diploma in the mail, the day that I got home from the hospital with him! My children and growing family have obviously been my number 1 priority, so I still need to find time to frame and hang my diploma... (Which has been hiding in my closet for the past 4 years) 

I think at one point, a part of me was almost embarrassed that it had taken me so long to achieve my bachelor's. Instead of really celebrating my hard work and achievement, I was comparing myself to all my fellow high school graduates who were receiving their Master's degrees in the time it took me just to get my Bachelor's. But now that I'm a little older, more confident in myself and proud of all of my amazing achievements-- including my beautiful family-- I figured I would look back at what I did and be proud to share my accomplishments!

Moral of the story is this: Don't ever give up on something that you have set out to achieve! You're almost always going to run into obstacles on your way, but whether you choose to give up or keep pushing yourself, is totally up to YOU and ONLY YOU!!

Monday Motivation. What is your "Why"? What motivates you to keep going when things get tough?

This is a post that I shared with one of my Health & Fitness Support/Motivation Groups today and I felt like I wanted to share it with all of you as well. 

Monday's Motivation: 

As a Beachbody coach, one of the first things we have to do is figure out our "why". Your "WHY" is what keeps you going when times get tough. It's that reason for refusing to quit, settle or sacrifice! It has played such a huge role in not only my physical health transformation over the last year, but also my mental state of mind! 

My "WHY" is my children and their future! In order to raise my kids with the faith, confidence, determination and guidance that they will need to get through this crazy, sometimes scary world... I need to set the bar for them and live by example! Kids learn what they live and live what they learn... 

I want my kids to learn that no matter how big your dreams may be, and how impossible they may seem... I'm here to not only tell them that they CAN live out their dreams, but to prove to them that they can do absolutely anything they put their minds to... by going after my own dreams and goals!

You have to have faith, believe in yourself and push even harder in those moments of doubt! That is what makes the difference between a dreamer and an achiever! They are my reason for being the best version of me that I can be! They are the reason I decided to get healthy, fit, and start my own business as a coach where I get to help other people start their own health & fitness journeys, reach for their goals and be an example to others that anyone can make a decision to do better for themselves!

Who says you can't be pregnant and have a great bikini booty? Haha

So as you all probably know from some of my recent posts, my newest health & fitness challenge group started up and this group is doing amazing!! I can tell that they are going to totally ROCK their workouts for the next 30+ days!!

And I must admit... I almost didn't get my own workout in today since my new Brazil Butt Lift Master Series didn't come in the mail until late this afternoon. Then I had to run off to coach gymnastics, rush home to make dinner for the kiddos before the babysitter came, then had a quick dinner date night with the hubby and lastly a team call at 8:30PM, but I am proud to say that I got in my workout this evening!!!

I totally had some great excuses to skip it, and I had to make some modifications with the belly, but I'm staying accountable and not only doing it for me, but to lead by example for my awesome challengers! No EXCUSES!
