Becoming a family of FIVE

I remember finding out I was pregnant with our THIRD baby. I CRIED! 😭😱🙈
I looked at our two kids in the tub right that moment and wondered HOW we would ever manage with THREE! I CRIED! 😳😂

I worried how they would react and if we would have enough LOVE for them all! I mean, we had JUST started figuring out life as a family of four. I CRIED! 🤷‍♀️

I was also really getting in a groove with my health and fitness, being in the MIDDLE of my 3 week cleanse, then BAM, time to GAIN weight again. I CRIED. 😝🤣
BUT- I decided to soak up every moment with my kids and ENJOY life as a family of four before our world changed again. We took some trips and spent TIME together- making precious memories we'll hold FOREVER. I SMILED. 😍

I continued to workout and drink my superfoods shake to stay in shape for a healthy pregnancy and easier labor and delivery. Plus, it helped relieve stress. I SMILED! 😍

Then our precious Kathryn came into our lives in just one push. I SMILED. 😍

I didn't have to stress about rushing back to work or how to make ends meet while I was on maternity leave. I SMILED! 😍

I still workout and maintain a healthy lifestyle- even getting to do a LIVE Mommy and Me workout that was FILMED to help other moms find their healthy and fit lifestyle! I SMILED! 😍


Now, our lives are CRAZY, as expected, but I get to be PRESENT and figure out what works for US! And we have the PERFECT baby who COMPLETES our family and can barely remember a time when she wasn't here! Seems a LONG way from when we first learned we would be outnumbered. So... I SMILE! 😍😍😍

FLIP the Gratitude Switch

I have been reading this fabulous book- FLIP the Gratitude Switch, by Kevin Clayson and learning all kinds of great lessons!

So, OF COURSE, I wanted to share with YOU!

"If my circumstances won't change, maybe I can change the way I look at my circumstances, and maybe as a result, they actually WILL change."

WOW! Right?!?

It's EASY to show gratitude and thanks for those things in our lives that are going RIGHT, but all those things that frustrate us??? Much easier to get fed up and show anger or frustration! So NOW the CHALLENGE is showing gratitude for the FRUSTRATIONS.

In other words, when someone cuts you off in traffic, instead of letting your road rage fly, show GRATITUDE to have avoided an accident and that you're safe. When your kid draws on your walls or uses your expensive makeup to make herself "pretty"- show gratitude that you HAVE curious and imaginative kids and appreciate this small portion of their life that will not last long enough.

When you control your reactions to the LITTLE frustrations DAILY and show gratitude with those tiny frustrations, you'll have a much easier time overcoming MAJOR challenges. And when you FLIP your attitude in a moment, you can change the trajectory of your day... your week... your month... your year... your LIFE!

My CHALLENGE to you: Be GRATEFUL in the small moments when you would normally be frustrated and express anger. Do it for SEVEN days and let me know how it impacts you and your family!

Cloud Bread

Hey guys! So I have been LOVING my new progressive program that I've been doing! It comes with its own meal plan and is LOW CARB- getting carbs from whole foods like sweet potatoes, NOT your nutrient-lacking simple carbs like BREAD! (and we all LOVE bread, right?!? ;) )

3 Week Shift Shop results


So- how can you satisfy that bread craving, not feel deprived, but still stay on track to reach your GOALS?!? CLOUD BREAD!!!

Fresh out of the oven- kid approved!
Made this last night with the help of my five year old and he APPROVED! I am NOT a chef by any stretch of the imagination so I was a little intimidated by this recipe at first! I got it from my Shift Shop Recipe Book and it turned out great! 

CLOUD BREAD:

Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 dash cream of tartar
1 dash sea salt- optional
1/3 Cup organic Greek yogurt

Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 300
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
3. Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Place whites and yolks in separate medium bowls. Set aside.
4. Add cream of tartar to egg whites. Beat with a mixer on high until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
5. Add salt and yogurt to egg yolks. Beat with a mixer on medium until blended. Gently fold 1/3 of egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture. Fold in the remaining egg white mixture until just mixed. Do not over mix.
6. Use a spoon to transfer a scoop of egg mixture onto prepared backing sheet, gently spreading into a thick pancake shape about 3 inches in diameter. Repeat five times.
7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and exterior is crispy to the touch. Immediately loosen with a spatula; allow to cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container. 

Try it out and let me know what you think!!!!

Workout with your kids

Sometimes I feel guilty for choosing to workout when the kids are awake. Ever felt that way?

Thoughts like- "If I'm not 100% present 100% of the time does that make me a bad mom?" AND "Am I giving them the BEST of me?" cross my mind!

Even though I'm an online health and fitness coach, I still struggle sometimes!

Then I remember what a GIFT it is that I CAN workout and take care of this body God gave me- and how IMPORTANT it is to show my kids to do the same! And, DUDE, my kids LOVE to workout with me!!!

Seriously- check out how much FUN my 5 year old and I had! Quality time and burning some calories/energy!!!

Banana ICE CREAM

Y'all! This recipe is SO easy and QUICK! The kids LOVE it and you can literally make it with only ONE ingredient!!!!

What is it---- FROZEN BANANAS! That's IT!

The more RIPE the bananas- the SWEETER!

What you need: Bananas, sliced, and frozen on parchment paper- this allows them to blend MUCH easier than a whole banana and placing them in a single layer keeps them from clumping together.

1. Slice bananas
2. Freeze in a single layer on parchment paper lined baking sheet
3. Process in food processor until SMOOTH
4. Include any add-ins you like to taste: Vanilla, Peanut butter, almond butter, cacao powder, shakeology, protein powder, cinnamon.

I added a little vanilla and peanut butter to mine! Delicious!

The kids LOVED helping make this and thought it was "the best thing EVER" ;)

Nothing better than kids getting excited to HELP and LOVE a HEALTHY dessert
Personally, I smothered my Chocolate Protein Mug Cake with it! Holy YUM!

Determination and the Breastfeeding Journey

I remember this little gadget like it was yesterday.
It represents the struggle, the failure, the DETERMINATION, and ultimately, the SUCCESS that started my breastfeeding journey with my first baby.

When I had my first baby, I thought breastfeeding would come naturally and be EASY. Then after 27 hours of labor and delivery, he passed his meconium, and they had to RUSH him away before I got to hold him (so much for my idyllic picture of baby straight to chest  After two hours, I finally got to meet him and things went great while we were in the hospital.
Then, we got HOME. He LOST weight at his 1st checkup and the Dr automatically recommended formula. 


I remember the first time his daddy got out one of the formula bottles to feed him and I LOST IT. Complete MELTDOWN- had to go outside and literally SCREAMED in agony! I felt like a FAILURE and had NO idea how to get better. 
I thought that was my ONLY option until my lactation consultant said, "Well, you can just pump and give him that" 
I kept attempting to nurse at EVERY feeding, then he would SCREAM, I would be sore, and that led to me pumping in TEARS and Daddy feeding him a bottle of pumped milk.
That's when my LC introduced me to this little contraption, which involved putting the pumped milk in the syringe, latching baby onto my breast, but actually feeding him through this little tube in his mouth so he related nursing to getting his milk. It was quite the ordeal and someone else had to be with me to actually hold the syringe while I cradled baby and made sure the tiny tube stayed in his mouth. 
It was THREE months of constantly visiting the lactation nurse and trying EVERY possible option to get him to nurse. My mom (who was rooting for me every step of the way) told me no one would blame me for quitting. My LC said I should maybe consider switching to formula so I wasn't a stressed out mom. 


That's when it CLICKED- somehow at that visit- SEEING him latch correctly and understanding what I was looking for just made sense. I went home and nursed him and we GOT IT! 
When I went for my LAST visit with my LC she was SHOCKED to see me and could not believe I was still nursing. I remember her weight him after a feed and seeing how MUCH he had just eaten!!! Tears of JOY streamed down my face!
It was one of the most TRYING journeys I've ever endured, but by FAR one of the most REWARDING!!!! He nursed over two years and I learned so much that I've been able to easily nurse both my girls! 
Overcoming that trial was just the BEGINNING of a journey of learning to LOVE myself and recognizing my STRENGTH as a woman and as a mom- KNOWING that if I BELIEVE and am willing to put in the WORK- ANYTHING is possible!!! 
For all you Mamas STRUGGLING---- give yourself GRACE! This journey can be CRAZY, but God created us to be EXACTLY what our babies need! Never underestimate your POWER and your WORTH!

Amazing 61 Year Old Transformation

I remember when Cindy came to me over two years ago. I remember it WELL because she sent me a message and ordered her challenge pack WHILE I was in the hospital after deliver June the day before 😍 I was so thrilled and honored she reached out to me!

She was going to turn 60 that year and was DETERMINED to get healthy and look and feel better than ever!👊

You see, her amazing husband has MS and she is his primary caregiver. She could make EVERY excuse in the book- too busy, my husband needs me, I don't have time for myself, I deserve to eat whatever I want, I'm too stressed to worry about what I eat. BUT she DOESN'T! She has been an inspiration since Day ONE! 👏👏👏

I hear SO MANY excuses from people, but Cindy could negate ANY of those and prove that those excuses are NOT real reasons to put off becoming your HEALTHIEST self- whatever your age, fitness level, or time limits.


And you know what is even MORE noticeable in these pictures than the PHYSICAL transformation (which is INCREDIBLE, don't ya think?!?) It's that SMILE in the after pics on top! Notice in her before pics, she RELUCTANTLY took them and made sure her face did not even show.
 

At 61, she has completed PIYO, Country Heat, Insanity Max:30 and is not doing 22 Minute Hard Corps! Talk about dedication!!! 💪

Ongoing Health and Fitness Accountability Group

MOTIVATION and DISCIPLINE...

I am told almost EVERY day that women need my motivation or discipline. I get asked HOW I stay so motivated! Here's the thing- I don't! Every day I wake up KNOWING what I have to get done, not always motivated to do it!

When I first started working out at home when Benton was just 8 months old, it was the LAST thing I wanted to do every night. What made the difference? ACCOUNTABILITY! And it still makes the difference today! Except now I stay accountable to EVERYONE I aim to inspire- especially my customers in my private support and accountability groups!

For almost FOUR years, I have started a NEW group for new challengers starting their health and fitness journeys EVERY month. It's one of my FAVORITE things I do as a coach because it's truly where the MAGIC happens! Being in a group is the ONLY reason I stuck with my first workout program when I first decided I HAD to get back in shape to get my body back and FEEL better!

I recently had my THIRD baby and have been working HARD to get back to the CONFIDENT woman I am when I look and feel my BEST!

Right before going to the hospital to have Baby K vs 9 weeks postpartum


One month of consistent workouts and making progress with healthy eating
This time around, I'm doing something for the FIRST time- I'm starting a NEW group!!! What's DIFFERENT?!? it's gonna be NEVER ENDING!!! That's right- a ONE time commitment gets you group support and accountability for LIFE! Because I want NO ONE left behind! This is not a QUICK fix, but a lifestyle change and I've seen too many people yo yo- getting results and then falling back into old bad habits and then starting over AGAIN! But not YOU- not this time! If you have health and fitness goals and want a solution once and for all--- THIS is your chance!

You'll get to be in our EXCLUSIVE and PRIVATE Members-only group on Facebook with unlimited support and accountability to reach your BIGGEST goals, no matter how long it takes! 

What will you NEED to assure a spot? A Beachbody program that's right for you, Shakeology, me as your COACH (this group is for all my existing customers as well as new) and a will and want to CHANGE! This is my FAVORITE solution is our ONE YEAR All Access Pass!

Apply here so we can chat and see if this is right for you!
