What its like to "work on my own terms"

A few weeks ago I made the final decision to STAY home put more dedication into Advocare, my Photography and my blog! Alot of people keep asking HOW? or WHY? Well Ill tell ya- the days go by fast! Although one of the days i worked from bed which was great!! My day never ends. Its just nice NOT having to get up with alarm clock, making my own schedule. Cant complain! Im the kind of person who enjoys freedom, who doesn't like to be miserable and ill do whatever it takes to be happy! Don't pass up an opportunity if someone offers it to ya! My one YES changed my life. 


My days have been full of cleaning, laundry, calls, meetings, organizing and working on my website! Its not as easy as it sounds! Im trying to get into a routine but my days vary! So its kinda just going with the flow at this point! I like it!! :) 


Ive added in yoga to my workout routine atleast 2x a week! I think its important for the mind, body and soul! I dont stretch nearly enough and i don't know how to relax! so WIN WIN. 


Ive increased my running this week.. so 4x a week i am running 3-4 miles. The actual 'running' i do is about 1.5 miles, but I push and push! I have no doubt in my mind that i will be RUNNING that entire half marathon in September! 

Ive been trying different foods and recently Skinny Meg posted this amazing 'Lazy girl' breakfast! I had to try!! So delic!!! 


2 Kashi 7 Grain waffles with chobani greek yogurt a little honey & cinnamon with some strawberries! Wala! You get everything you need in there :) Jeff loved them too! 


Every tuesday i realize its the day i need to look back at her far I've come...physically and mentally! 
Yesterday i celebrated another pant size down! I also celebrated another transformation. When you celebrate it- it should be more than just HOW you look. Its how you feel, or what you've accomplished! LIKE running without stopping 1.5 Miles! Holding a plank for 1 minute and 30 seconds! Watching my back fat disappear! The choices of food i make! 



So heres to the transformation! Heres to 59.5lbs gone, heres to keeping it off! Heres to the days i wanted to quit-but didnt! Heres to the days i wanted to skip the gym, but didn't!

weekends are for...

Weekends aren't the same for me as they are for others. I am only off every other weekend and those weekends "off" are spent doing my other "jobs" such as photography stuff or things for my challenges that I host... but I LOVE it. This weekend I had a surprise visitor! She literally texted me Saturday night and said "should I come tomorrow afternoon?" UM yes, I will never say NO to a visitor especially this one. <3 You only have so many people in this world that understand you and get you 100%. Luckily I have a few of those in my life including Brittany. We have been best friends since 10th grade and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is my {{person}} <3   Saturday started out "crappy" literally, had a toilet overflow that turned into a pool in our bathroom then a ceiling that was leaking. What a mess and not how I wanted to spend the first half of the day...... I spent the rest of the day meal planning for my upcomi...

Adulting is HARD.

Lets be honest. LIFE is NOT easy. LOTS of choices to be made, and when you are a parent the choices you make no longer just effect you-they effect your children so life gets even harder.  I spend A GOOD amount a time a week self reflecting on how far I've come and where I want to go--we go through moments in our lives of "what IF" . I tell ya, I'm SO thankful that Advocare has come into my life. I think it has helped me grow as a person, a leader, financially and health wise. Ill take you back to my early 20s. I was a lost person, mentally. I didn't know where I belonged in life. I knew a few things-- I LOVED people, I LOVED helping people, I LOVED photography, but in those early years in our lives we are told "GO TO COLLEGE , GET A DEGREE, get a JOB and thats it" but I always thought of myself as 'DIFFERENT' I never wanted to just go behind a desk and work. I get BORED very easily and like to different things. Teaching, Psycholo...

2017..THE year for flashfitgirl

Image
2017.... I've heard the saying  2015 was practice... 2016 was the warm up.... 2017...its GAME time. But what does it all mean? How many times have you thought THIS IS MY YEAR? Then you get to March and you haven't finished that book you said you would, you skipped your work out 7 days  now, laundry days have turned back to every day, your brand new planner is a mess, the kids are driving you mad, and you're letting little things eat you up?! YUP. Its happened to me... and I can guarantee if you're reading this, its happened to you too! We are 25 days until a brand new year and guess what if you feel like you've already failed- YOU ARE WRONG! If you haven't done anything you've said you were going to, time to get on it, if its MORE time you need- then its time to find it. But then you run into those problems again-  how can you find the time if you don't have it. I wish I had all the answers. BUT what I can do is share what has worked for me f...
