We all want what we don't have. When it comes to our body-we are NEVER happy. We forget the MOST important part and that's really how we feel-that is what I've always and will focus on! Jan 2014 I decided I was going to take on an entire new lifestyle. A healthier one. I had 101 stomach issues my entire life and they literally diagnosed me with everything there was. It was awful and I was miserable. I was so miserable I didn't even notice how much weight I had put on. I  mean the doctors told me- but I didn't really see it. Thankfully I found the 24 Day Challenge and it changed EVERYTHING for me. I had lost 20lbs in those 24 days, 1 pant size and started to gain my confidence back! I felt amazing! I knew that this was what I needed to continue. As of today I am down 59.5lbs- I feel amazing and surprising myself EVERY single day with what I can accomplish! Its a struggle every day and I play around with what works for me- different routines, different eat...

We all wish 'weekends or days off' would last forever right? In a perfect world...we can create our days how we want it! Well when I decide something, I DECIDE IT and stick with it. I decided that I was not going to do the 9-5 M-F thing, that I wasn't going to live someone else' dream.....   As of MAY 26th I will no longer be a FULL time employee and I couldn't be MORE excited for this next step in my life, in our future...   Well this weekend was great, got a great workout done with my trainer on Saturday-in fact I still cant walk ;) HAHAHA. seriously. Squats with a 12lb kettle ball, Crunches, Jumping Medicine ball slams and some other craziness! IT felt great! I almost skipped Saturday morning & so glad I didn't! NEVER skip a workout. That is my MOTTO. The goals WONT be reached on their own.   I came home- cleaned, ran errands, grocery shopped, had a few calls and than we went out for Sushi!   Sunday morning I did Yoga with the gir...

Its time I share something with you all....  I wasn't always THIS happy.  I mean I've always been a HAPPY person...but I wasn't always here.  A picture hopped up on my Time Hop today ( an app that shows you old posts/pictures from that day, this is sometimes a good thing or a bad? LOL depends what pops up! HAHA Anyway a picture from 6 years ago from Vegas with some of my girlfriends popped up. I can remember that trip like it was yesterday! Although I had a great time! I was in a BAD place in life. I wasn't sure where I was headed career wise, my relationship at the time wasn't the best. I HATED my body & I was having TONS and TONS of stomach issues, but overall. I was miserable, DONT get me wrong thank goodness Ive always had amazing family & friends <3  6 Years ago VS. NOW I would cover it up with Binge drinking ( I would drink a lot of shots fast, get drunk- and than be miserable the rest of the night LOL ) not really fun, I smoked ciga...

Happy Monday all!  As you all return back to the week- of work, school, 'back on the grind' Remember how AMAZING it is to have another day, a NEW week to start, to reach NEW goals! Embrace Mondays- DONT dread them! <3 Spring HAS finally SPRUNG, and I think it is HERE to stay! This weekend was my weekend 'off' but I had no car so that kinda stinks, but hopefully it will be all better when I get it back & make me feel safe again!! ... Jeff was my driver for the weekend :/ WHAT a trooper! Friday night Jeff had a softball game- Corey played too (his cousin) so I got to hang with my favorite red head in Connecticut ( don't worry Britt you are still my favorite red head ;) HAHA) After softball I was  pretty HANGRY lol.... I left my snacks at home :( and defiantly way past my 2-4 hour window of eating so we decided we were going to get sushi! It was chopstick lessons for Mel----She couldn't do it, had to settle for the kids chopsti...

It has been way too long!!! Vacation took me off track a bit and things with my Photography & Advocare have been BOOMING! Keeping me busy! LOVE it. Anyway, I have a lot to talk about but today I am going to keep it SIMPLE and brief, I wanted to talk about something. Someone had recently said to me ' all that healthy stuff is too time consuming, I enjoy food ' UHHH yeah- ME TOO! And then someone else had brought up to me an article about a person said that they were 'happy being fat' AND right on! If that's what works for YOU then that is fantastic!!! here is my THOUGHT..... Id like you all to know I do this FOR me and FOR me only. I was NOT happy where I was. I was on 3 medications, I had pain every single damn day l. I couldn't bend over to tie my shoe I was exhausted & just had 0 energy.  I looked at pictures and thought GROSS. I just looked gross. I looked the way I FELT. I shopped in the maternity section at times in target becau...
