7 years ago on this day {April 21, 2011}…

I made a decision that would change our family’s future forever.

I made a purchase on a credit card  without my husbands knowledge.

I made the commitment to myself to change.

I made the decision to do something for me and I was selfish about it.

We were living paycheck to paycheck- well above our means, like putting groceries on a credit card

I was miserable with me, my body, and how i felt every day! I needed change and when my coach so kindly kept reminding me (for 8 months) that she had something that could help me I finally caved… the only regret O have is that i didn’t do it sooner

I didn’t want to sell to friends and family- i didn’t want to push anything on anyone- I just wanted to save the extra money while I worked on me… 2 weeks into my personal journey and I wanted EVERY MOM to feel like I did… so I continued to share my journey with a little flare of having them(anyone) join me on this journey- because the missing piece for me was Accountability and if I could get more of that I would be golden!

Little did I know that 2 months later I would be walking away from my $40k year teaching job for $60 a month  but my passion is what truly shined and broke me from the chains of having a boss and someone telling me where to be and what I needed to do- along with kids that disrespected me and would rather be on the streets… I always had a passion for teaching but this opportunity gave me a purpose to share!

I love to empower women… I love to help them love themselves… and I love sharing how they can change their family’s future!

7 years ago change my life forever and I didn’t even like working out now I love it because it helps me love myself and shows me how taking care of your body truly reflects your mood! I knew nothing about fitness or nutrition for that matter- but I’m learning every single day!

This journey wouldn’t have been possible without all of my coaches

When you want something bad enough you will do the things that will get you there! If that means wake up early, go to bed later, sacrifice sleep or your TV shows, its all about HOW BAD YOU WANT CHANGE!!!

In the last 6 1/2 years of my journey I have wanted change so bad, as bad as I wanted to breath! Here are some tips to help you change your current state or what you want!

1. Change your routine.- Whether you need to wake up earlier or go to bed later.
2. Get someone to keep you accountable.- Share your goals with a spouse/significant other, a friend/coworker.
3. Change the scenery.- If your house is dark- lighten it up, if you are working out at the gym, start at home.
4. Get something that will motivate you.- smaller shirt, swimsuit, new workout clothes/shoes.
5. PLAN AND PREP.- Plan each week out, when you’ll workout, what you’ll eat. and prepare for it! Set you workout clothes out the night before/take them to work and wear them home. Prep your meals, breakfast-snacks-lunches-dinners. YES YOU CAN PREP IT ALL!

You can’t change if you continue to do the things you’ve been doing that are not changing you!!!!

Lets be honest Shaun T is a KILLER trainer!!! He knows what he is doing and these workouts, we are seriously CHALLENGED!!! There are mornings I wake up and I dread the workout, because I know I will be pushed to my limits, but then I forget the workout— I forget what we did last week and feel like everything is new!!! I have increased some of my max out times, but I have to modify as well!!!!

OMG!!!!! I cannot believe I let myself get to where I was on day 1 ????????????

Being a fitness and health coach, you would think I was on my A game 100%, well let me tell you a little secret— I AM HUMAN! Life gets in the way and I totally got depressed and was in a bad place in my mental state in June-November and I would eat and slack in my workouts… But my mojo is BACK!!!!
