Most Important

Even though your mind can get caught up in eating healthy, choosing the right portions, and finding time to work out - remember to take time each day to reset and remember what is important, what your priorities are, and how you can change your focus back to where it needs to be.

I love that my "job" allows me to take that refocus any time I choose. Because of my husbands job at a private Christian University, he has Good Friday off and that means we have a TRHEE DAY WEEKEND as a family. So we decided to take today to be in the moment and share our time together as a family.

Amidst our busy culture that is always go-go-go, we need to remember that the current moment we are in will NEVER come again - so take the time to slow down and remember this moment. So many people told me when J was first born that "he will grow up fast"and it will go by in an instant. While that is SO true - I don't HAVE to let it go by in an instant. I can milk the moments, the days, the cuddles, as MUCH as I possibly can. It can be hard sometimes, but I do believe that it is NECESSARY.

So in this moment I want to simply stop and love.

What will you stop to do today?

Is it time?

What kinds of changes do you need to make in your life today?

Do you have something that you are working toward?

For me, we have a vacation coming up - and a lot of my energy lately is going into THAT. And I know that I would not be able to meet my goals if it wasn't for my challengers in my support groups. We keep each other accountable AND encouraged. We post when we are struggling AND when we have victories. I AM going to accomplish my goals - and I will do so because of my groups.

I have FIVE SPOTS LEFT for my upcoming online fitness support group officially starting on MAY 5TH. If you have any goals before Summer arrives that you need help with - let me know! You do not have to work at it alone! Some of the best people I know now, have been from people I have met in these groups! We build lasting friendships because we are working toward the same things!

Let me know if you are interested in filling one of the last few spots!

Bring on Round 2!

So instead of starting a Second round of 21 Day Fix - I am going to do Round 2 of Focus T25!

I had such great results with it when I first started and I am ready for that again.

I loved everything about that program. It is funny, because at first, my husband and I did the first video "Alpha Cardio" when we first got it - and WOW. We were so sweaty and exhausted at the end of it!!

I took a moment after that first time and so many thoughts came into my mind:

You can't do this.
That was just the first one, imagine how hard the other 11 are.
You should give up.
It is going to take you forever to reach your goals.

Why do we do that to ourselves? Negative self-talk can bring you down FAST and HARD.
But I am SO glad I had the support of my challenge group, because I stuck with it and I completed Alpha and Beta. AND I lost 25 pounds doing so. I loved the energy in the videos, I loved how Shaun T makes you feel like he's in the room pushing you harder if you stop or want to give up. But most of all - I loved that it WORKED.

So because of that I am facing on ROUND 2. I am so excited! I know that I will have a great outcome and I will start to feel stronger every day again.

So who's with me?!

My husband, son, and I are going to California in THIRTY-TWO days and I will be READY! The program is 90 days - and I will finish them again - but I know that even the first 30 are going to be life changing.

I have a support group coming up at the end of this month and I would LOVE for you to be a part of it. We motivate, encourage and help one another through the excited and difficult times of creating healthier lifestyles for ourselves. PLUS the T25 challenge pack is on SALE right now. Contact me if you are interested in joining this group and want to start T25 with me. Let's do this.

Are you ready?
