We are Graceful and Strong as F
I cannot believe that May is already gone and the pressures of June are here and we are all at a loss for how we as humans can cause such malaise and grief. Last week was mentally tough to absorb how such hate can still be among us humans. Please don't take this a political stance, however if we don't acknowledge the hurt and pain we will never grow as human beings,never Grow as individuals, never grow as a group, never grow as a society. We have to acknowledge the wrong and make steps to make it wright. All Lives Matter...but right now Black Lives Matter.
One of my mentors said the other day...remember your last airplane ride? Life these past few months have been just like those pesky instructions that we all have to listen to and tend to just let go in one ear and out the other... "PUT YOUR OXYGEN MASK ON"...Think about that! Are you truly putting yourself first? How effective can you really be if you are only there 25%, 50% or even 75% of the time.
I have finally realized how valuable I am when I am at my best. When I am at 100%. The online community that we have privately is embracing that we are Made for More! We are Strong AF. We are Brave. We are Committed. And we are Better Together.
We’re better with you, too. As always, my door is and always will be open to you and I would be honored to have you join us in lifting each other up. This isn’t just about a workout program or a shake. It’s about the connection we all need.
I'm Here for you! Just hit reply and we can chat about how we can support you too.

Time to Get Uncomfortable

As I sit here thinking about the things in life that have weighted me down at one point or other in my life...I cannot help but think that those things also helped me learn. Once you can establish the things that are weighing you down or holding you back at that moment you decide to free yourself is the time in which you start to flourish and fly towards better things.

I struggled with my nutrition, a few medical issues, and working out during MM100, but, I finished. I learned so many interesting things about my body and sheer existence during that program it help mold me into a better person. I may have only lost 5.7 pounds, 4.75 inches while others lost a lot more. We must remember that comparison is the death of joy. So I celebrate the fact that I was able to do what I did with what was going on in my life those 4 months.

After getting thru Thanksgiving and Christmas the endless food days at work...I started 2020 with a 3 day refresh. A complete detox of all the "crap" food I was on the path of eating. It is there where I saw the joy again with eating clean foods, showing my kids that greens are good, carbs may be enjoyed, but not over indulged. Teaching myself again along with my little ones the importance of balance. During those 3 days I was able to shed 3.5 pounds and 2.5 inches. Whoop.

Now I am onto my next adventure of a program that honestly I was not jumping for joy about, however, I knew I wanted to focus on mobility, low impact activity, whiling gaining lean muscle. After only the first week of Barre Blend I am feeling a difference in my body. I am standing taller, I am gaining confidence that I once had back. I am feeling my muscles work in a way that is needed right now in my life. I need my core and back to continue to gain strength as my kids are getting bigger and well heavier...hahah.

Are you ready to adventure out of your comfort zone? Stepping out of your comfort zone is where change happens...it's where you find me...so lets go. lets do this...Time to get uncomfortable
