Commitment

Commitment, what a huge word huh? It can have so many meanings to different people so what is it all about?

I have been having a hard time staying committed to working out on a schedule. If you know me super personally people know that I am not one that likes things out of whack and what not. I like things in a pretty little row, where they are supposed to be, I like things to be done on time, and I prefer a routine.

I have been finding that living in America and not 5 minutes from my job takes a lot of effort to work out. I have to get up at 5:30 for work, then I work all day and come home to cook dinner because most times I am getting hungry as I walk in the door. I am no longer committed to my results, my health, or my fitness/life plan. There has been a shift and I am trying to get it worked out and find a solution to my problem so that I can once again be committed to my life, goals, and desires!

1.) I have to stay focused. I try to do too many things at once instead of doing everything one thing at a time. I need to be more patient and focused.

2.) I need to really remember why I am doing this for the long term.

3.) I am going to start preparing my meats etc on Sunday's and make that a bulk cooking day and eat what I actually set aside.

4.) I am not going to follow I am going to lead myself and family back into the healthy healthful meals.

5.) I am going to be committed to my 5 AM workouts and choose a routine that is between 30-45 minutes 5-6 days a week and stick to that schedule.

6.) Put everything that I have into what I do! :)

This is my before and after and I need to remember WHY I started this journey of health for myself and family!!!!


What is your why? Do you have problems with commitment in a part of your life?

Disney Princess Half

Running is something that I have always been interested in and took a liking to since the Army. I ran every morning it seemed like for up to 6 miles at a time. It was pretty rough but we did it. The more and more I get to my fitness goals I have to keep myself entertained. I am doing Brazil Butt Lift again but I started to run with the girls that I work with today and I can say that I felt WONDERFUL getting outside after a really long morning in the office behind a desk. Not to mention I am taking my last college class and I am SO PROCRASTINATING on this 10 page paper that I have due next week. I digress....... Well about 2 weeks ago I was looking up the Disney half marathon that happens in January and I stumbled across the Disney Princess Half Marathon! AHHHH how crazy would it be for me to run at Disney World in a TUTU!!!! HA HA HA!

Since I have turned 30, I have taken on this thing about getting out of my comfort zone and going for the things that I made excuses for and running 13 miles was one of them. I thought about doing it while I lived in AK and now the time is nearing and I am thinking that this is TOTALLY something that I should do!

I ran today for the first time in awhile and I have the runkeeper app on my iphone. I never used it before but I tried it today and it was AMAZING. What I ended up doing was getting into a race with myself LOL it told me what my pace was and I ran to keep it there needless to say what was supposed to be a group run turned into a solo run but I ran 3.1 miles in 27 minutes which was pretty cool! I think I am going to keep this up and see if I can get through the next two weeks (I'm going to San Diego and FL) with running whenever I can. If I can keep up with it and not face any injuries at running 3 times a week than we shall see what happens! I am totally excited! I can't wait to let you know if I am going to register or not!

TO GETTING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!!!! AND TO BEING 30!!!!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!!!

My health maintenence helper

Other than putting healthy food in my mouth I am in LOVE with my health shake, Shakeology. I SWEAR this helps me maintain my weight. I am not always conscious of what I eat and I don't always eat as many vegetables as I should, this helps my body and I stay where I want it to stay.

I totally believe that it is worth the investment because I love my life and I really love it looking the way that it does and with that I love how I feel when I have nothing to worry about. Living a healthy lifestyle has a side effect, and that side effect is weight loss and then you graduate to weight maintence. This is the first time that I have ever in my life been concious of what I put into my mouth and now that I am I really want everything that goes in there to be clean and natural. This product is all of that, it helps me maintain my regularity, I have more energy, I don't wake up groggy all the time, I can get through my workouts and I get my daily vitamins and antioxidants that help prevent cancer. This is my prevention tool for weight maintenence and a premature death due to lack of health.
Why don't you take the challenge and get out of your comfort zone and give it a try for 30 days. There is a bottom of the bag gaurentee and all you have to do is return if it you don't like it and if you drink all of it you can return the bag empty.......you have nothing to lose but some weight......I don't know but I know that it has worked for me and it has worked for the friends that I know that have tried it! Give it a shot!

Being Healthy is TOUGH

I was reading somewhere that Gwen Stefani said that being skinny and fit is torture. I truly think that it can be and I 100% agree with her. Losing weight and eating healthy is something that we don't all learn to do right. So we have to change everything about us and we don't exactly know important eating is in our life. I mean we eat 3-6 times a day some even more. Eating is the center of our lives we do it ALL the time.

If you have never exercised either it can also be a foreign. I mean who REALLY wants to get up and run if when you start you are going to be huffing and puffing and not being able to make it down the street. Or you had the intention of running and all you can do is walk. It makes you feel like a failure or it can bring out the famous BEAST mode! I know though that even if BEAST mode is turned on there is a little bit of doubt in regards to failure.

That the thing though, it's so EASY to gain weight all you have to do is eat and eat and eat. It requires no real effort just hand to mouth and that's it. It's easy to do the easy right? Well the easy is unhealthy and will lead you to a ton of health problems.

So here is something that I always heard from different successful people. In order to do something and be successful at it you have to be uncomfortable. That means running until you are huffing and puffing and then walking and knowing that every single day that goes by you are going to get better, you are going to do better and you will BE better. You HAVE to make yourself uncomfortable to ensure that you will NEVER go back to the place that you were in. You have to torture yourself ok not really but you have to be in pain, you have to talk about what is bothering you and come to terms as to why you have gotten yourself to where you have good or bad, recognize it and own it. Move forward and don't move backward. Change is uncomfortable but eventually like anythin you will get used it, and will have to make yourself uncomfortable again.

Brazil Butt Lift Challenge Group!

Helping people is one of the things that I love to do. There is nothing like the feeling that you have CHANGED yourself in a way that YOU can change. There is nothing in the world like confidence and pride especially when you have done something as drastic as changing your whole body. For that reason I am going to host another BOMBSHELL Brazil Butt Lift Challenge!On 9/10.

It will be 60 days in length for you to finish it and along the way you will receive a private Facebook group for motivation, a meal plan that is made to the foods that you enjoy, and a killer body when you are done your transformation! If you live in the Cape Cod area I will also give my challengers a free BOMBSHELL photo shoot after the 60 day challenge!

Support is what is always missing when one is trying to lose weight and that is what I want to provide and more. It isn't going to be easy but it is totally going to be WORTH IT! I look forward to hearing from you so that together we can make your dreams come true! 

Email me if you would like more information or would like to sign up!I only have 5 spots and they always go FAST as I post my challenges on facebook too!

Take care of you!!!!!

Playing outside

Yesterday was a really beautiful day so before the weekend ended all I wanted to do was to take some pictures of my kiddo. We spent a majority of the day in church we went to the service and then to the new comers class that the church hosted. It was really great! I found my church home! Every thing that the pastor talked about I was totally into. God has answered my prayers that's for sure! I am totally happy that the church search is over and we can go and enjoy what we will now call our "home." 

I wanted to take pictures for some time, we drove around the Cape but the light was too harsh and I would have been disappointed with my shots so I eagerly waited to go home! There they are :) I hope they you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Weary about the Beachbody Challenge?

So many people have NO IDEA what the Beachbody Challenge is and I am going to explain it.

There are many people out there that can lose weight on their own no issues, they just get it done. Others need support and someone to be accountable to. They need affirmations and they need to know that them losing weight is the BEST thing for them. You see, when people start losing weight it is usually a one man Army. A family of four and Mommy wants to lose a few pounds. Family starts to criticize the dinners she is making or the fact that she eats rice cakes. She then feels bad and embarassed and stops and maybe gains even more weight than previously thought.

This is where the challenge group comes in. I will have 1-5 people in a group setting with a provate Facebook group led by me and the challenge team members. WE WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE every single day of the journey. Everyone can do the same workout or do one of their own. The only thing is you need to do three things.

1.) Buy or wipe the dust off your Beachbody workout.
2.) Drink Shakeology every day!
3.) Be present in the facebook group and push play every day!

I will be there to moderate give advice on meal planning, grocery shopping and proper exercise form with most of all SUPPORT to you individually and as a group! This is the part that I feel is missing when one is losing weight. The support and a place to vent your frustrations and feelings!

I MEAN another PLUS you get to make NEW FRIENDS!

The video above provides testimonials of people going through and that have completed their transformations! Take a peek and let me know what you think! Email me or comment if you would like more information!
