My Journey

I have something I want to share with you...I haven't shared this in a LONG time. I get this ALOT...ya but did YOU really get results from those workouts you do? Were you every really overweight?
..or I get, your so fit, why do you workout so much? 

I try to be VERY Open & Honest with you guys about my journey over the past 2 years.

THIS, was NOT EASY! When you struggle with Self-Esteem, Self-Image issues, weight issues, food addiction issues, all on top of struggling with what you THINK your ideal body is the LAST thing you feel like doing is making a TOUGH decision to change. Saying OK, I will draw a line in the sand right here and take each day one at a time, set small goals and STOP DOING THIS TO MYSELF! I tried crash diet after crash diet, shakes, pills, gym with trainer...you name. I would smoke to suppress my appetite so i would gorge myself. <----vicious cycle.

After I had Brodilynn I KNEW something needed to change. I KNEW it was NOT ok to pass my self-hating self-destructive ideas about myself onto her...i was the woman who needed to mold her into a woman who LOVED herself. I needed to BE the change! I needed to break through my addictions, a big one being food.

So here is what I did...NO MORE EXCUSES....your bad genetics, your babies, your lack of support, your lack of motivation..SHITTY EXCUSES. If you want something you need to believe you can have it. Your setback doesn't lie with your pregnancy, your children, your genes, your spouse..they lie with YOU and the crap your telling yourself. NOOO its absolutely not easy...and the first step is the Hardest! But guess what...its worth it. Out of this comes self worth, confidence, the power of knowing you can do ANYTHING and YOUR worth it! <---TRUST ME, this is NOT something KC 2 years ago would have said to you, i gained this.

I DID THIS. I AM WORTH IT....YOU are WORTH it!

So here is what i will do....
I am going to host a support group for YOU! I will show you EXACTLY how I changed my life. I will give you the tools you need to live healthy (no diets here...have you seen what I love to eat? HELLO..cheese please!), I will help you start to move. I will help you find your self confidence and give you your life back. <---Im paying it forward. I struggled and I'm here fighting because I don't want YOU to have to struggle!! We are in this together!

The VIP group is going to start in October! The spots will be limited so I can give you 100% of my time and effort. Together we are going to get you to those goals. I PROMISE. <--All you have to do to say YES, I am READY to take back control of MY life.

PiYo is designed  to improve strength, flexibility, breathing, and posture. Regardless of your fitness level and goals, PiYo was designed to suit all needs.  Everyone from extreme athletes to people looking to lose 50+ pounds can benefit from this program. Because of the low-impact, gentle nature of the movements in this program, it would be ideal for people with injuries or older people who want to sculpt and tone but whose bodies don't agree with higher impact on the joints. With that said, this program would be amazing for ANYONE who was looking to increase flexibility and strength.

21 Day Fix Results and Meal Plan

Well here it is everyone!  My official 21 Day Fix results!

First off, let me mention how much I LOVE this program!  I have always struggled with the nutrition side of things and getting the eating right.  The 21 Day Fix made this a no-brainer for me.  I was eating everything I loved and was full all the time.  I was really surprised how much healthy food I was overeating before!

21 Day Fix Results:

I lost 10 pounds and 11.25 inches total in 3 weeks!
I followed the meal plan as close as possible (yes, I am human!) and did the recommended double days for the last week.

Here is the meal plan I followed for the 21 Day Fix:

I can't stress enough how important planning out your meals for this program is! The first day I made my usual shake, chocolate with peanut butter and a banana, and used up ALOT of my portions!  It's important to spread out your portions across 6 meals a day.

Here is a quick video I did to explain how the meal plan works:

Honestly, this program truly is a gamechanger!  I would highly recommend this program to beginner level people who have a significant amount of weight to lose as the modifier is wonderful.  I would recommend it to couples wanting to do a program together or someone on a tight budget.  I would recommend it to someone who has a very short amount of time to reach a goal-vacation, wedding, grad, event, etc.  I would also recommend it so anyone who is experiencing a plateau!  YES, I would recommend it to EVERYONE!!
