Things I Love Tuesday

How was everyone’s Labor Day?! Three day weekends have a tendency of throwing me off – glad to be back into the groove of things today!

Things I am absolutely loving on today:

Benefit’s ‘Gimme Brow.’ Okay so – everyone’s eyebrows are on fleek?! Not this girl’s. Until this!! It’s like a mini mascara brush – and with one quick swoop it looks like I have my life together! (Although Harlow does not seem too excited about it…)

Fabletics! I finally signed up and I’m so excited for my first outfit that I got for… $15!? Craziness.

Dunkin Donuts. Thanking God for giving me the self control today to not order a pumpkin donut - geez oh man the temptation was so real.

What products/things/ideas are you loving on this week?! Talk soon! XO 

Exciting Things!

So many exciting things going on! I have (finally!) become a Certified Personal Trainer through NSCA and things have been a little hectic, so Harlow and I were so happy to spend a little staycation with Caye! It felt so good to be back in the city, and Harlow and I spent some time just walking around -  I pointed out some special spots and told stories and it was all so much fun. 

Harlow was really digging the towels in the room and was not digging the fact that we did not have the Disney channel. She kept running over to the bathroom, putting her head on the towels and saying, "Goodnight, everybody!" Total ham. And she LOVED the Children's Museum - it was our first time and now I know - DO NOT go to the third floor before you are prepared to get soaked!! Next time I will plan accordingly!

We are so blessed to have so many great and supportive people in our lives. And a lot of exciting things going on - stay tuned!

My Fitness Journey

The never-ending journey!

This post is for all the moms struggling to lose those last few pregnancy pounds, the girls who have tried numerous diets and workouts without the results they were looking for, the guys who are struggling to gain confidence in their body. This is for you!!

This picture is me – today – right now.  I am in NO WAY posting this so you can body shame yourself or strive to get where I am. Your journey is YOUR OWN! I have stretch marks, too. I have days where I feel uncomfortable with my body, too. If you only knew what I went through to get HERE, you would feel SO much better about your own journey!

I worked and continue to work hard for my body. It is SO incredibly important to me that I am in a HEALTHY place – and that’s where you should strive to be as well. Just like everything else in life, these things take time, hard work, and dedication.

I am so fortunate to have found Beachbody and to be surrounded with people who are so encouraging of my fitness journey. If you are struggling or just in need of motivation and support, you are not alone! I would be happy to help you in any way that I can, just contact me!

If I could give any small piece of advice, whether it be about your fitness journey or anything in life, it would be to just go for it. Don’t think even for a second that you can’t or you won’t or how much time it’s going to take. You have to believe in yourself, because sometimes you may be the only one believing – and that’s okay! Lukewarm is NO GOOD. Go for it – with everything! Xo
