One of the things I ❤❤about being a Beachbody coach is the fact that I get to continually work on improving myself. Not just my outer appearance 💪🏻but also the inside through great nutrition 🍉🍌🍓and personal development📖. How many other companies really push you to improve all aspects of yourself?

Personal development to me is one of the major reasons I know I am reaching the goals I've set for myself and in my business.

This past month I have had several aha moments💡💡. I have really come to realize that when you truly care about helping others, you will be helping yourself too.

Nido Qubein said the following: "Whether you are a success or a failure in life has little to do with your circumstances ; it has much more to do with your choices. "

I just love this. It helps remind me that no matter where you are, YOU can make the choices needed to be a success or failure.

Mornings at our house in the past, have been ciaos to say the lest. With two toddlers 2 and under, it has become evident that we need some kind of routine or schedule. Plus as I am making fitness and personal development a priority in my life, I have been struggling to figure out how to make time in my busy day to squeeze everything I want to get done in.  

Our new morning routine which I'm loving is as follows:

First its breakfast for the girls while mom works out. (sometimes this also turns in to cartoons with milk while mom works out. Either way its working for us.)  Then it's a movie or independent playtime for the little girls while I read some much needed personal development and drink my chocolate Shakeology.. Followed by a walk or reading books together in the rocking chair. The past few days have been so hot, that the walk has actually taken place before cartoons and reading. We have also started stopping at nearby parks, halfway through our walk for the girls to play. This has helped ensure that the walk is enjoyed by all.  

I think the girls are benefiting from my workout and reading too. It definitely puts me in a better mood and is a great start to our day!

What kind of things do you guys do eac

This morning was one of those mornings where I had a lot of things on my agenda however I kept feeling like I needed to be else where. So after dropping my girls off for Tuesday play date at grandmas I started to drive and soon realized where I needed to be.

I am so thankful that I could take time this morning to serve my Savior and Heavenly Father in the Temple. It helped ease some of my stressed and worries of the past few weeks.

I am leaving now with calmness and a happy heart knowing that I listened to that still small voice and followed that prompting.

You know how sometimes you wake up in s bad mood. Well that was today. 

My little girl woke up so early and I just wanted to stay in bed. But I had a choice. I could be "mean mom" and let my grumpiness start our day out poorly or I could do something about it.

So while she ate breakfast I choose to get my workout in. It made such a difference. We are now off to the park!  Exercise does amazing things besides burn calories. Maybe it's all the endorphins.

I totally thought when I first started 21 day fix back in November last year that I wasn't going to be able eat anything and I would be starting the entire time!

Well I was so wrong. I just starting a new round and I am happy to repor that most of the time I'm stuffed and can hardly eat everything I'm suppose to! Umm WOW. A nutrition/portion control plan where you lose weight but stay full. Umm yeah.

I just love it. Here is everything I ate today, only thing not pictured was my Chocolate Shakeology. It might not look like a lot but I feel so full and wasn't hungry at all today! Win win

So after Memorial Day. I felt yucky.  Too much junk food. 🍔🍪🍦So It was time for a 3 Day Refresh. To be honest, I was a little skeptical but I stuck with it. I successfully followed the plan to a T".

I ended up loving 💜it. I felt great and had tons of energy. The best part.....I broke my weight loss plateau. 💥🎉🎈💟So overall it was a huge success. 2.5 lbs and 5 inches gone! (And still gone! It wasn't just water people!!) Wahoo.

And even better news, you can add the 3 Day Refresh to several of the challenge packs. Such a great way to kickstart the healthier you! Comment below with your email for details.

This past week has been a great week. What made it a great week? Well. I decided to stop being "mean mom" as my 2 year old had recently calling me. I had been stressed and have had no patience.

I decided Monday that this has to stop. I need to be a happier mom. I need to savor this time in our life. So I made a conscious choice and made more of an effort to be more present in my kids life.

I started by getting up early. Reading my personal development books. Getting in my workout as early in the day as possible. We started going to the park everyday, going for walks, having picnics, and playing. We turned off the iPad more. We are staying busy with errands. I stopped obsessing on whether I got the house cleaned or if they got their clothes dirty.

Lately, I have really been working on really being myself. I have always had a tendency to be a "people pleaser". Now, to some of you this may not seem like a negative thing, everyone around you is happy. However overtime, I have come to realize that although everyone else is happy, it is at the expense of you. Deep down, you are not happy. You are struggling and no one sees it because you focus on pleasing everyone else. 

The below quote has really helped put things in perspective for me.

"Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be YOU!!"

I am striving to live each day as me, and focus obtaining my happiness while helping others reach theirs. But not at the expense of mine.
