• Never give up on YOU •

I was scrolling through a girlfriends pictures last night looking for something in particular. What I found instead, rocked my world.

The picture on the left stopped me in my tracks. I quickly pulled a comparison photo that I took yesterday morning and tears filled my eyes.

That girl in the left, she wasn’t even at her heaviest, yet. Actually, she hadn’t even realized just how unhealthy she was.

The reason I cried when I saw the comparison wasn’t because of the reality of how bad it was, but more tears of joy from being so PROUD of myself.

I’m proud because after years of doing the quick fixes {destroying my body}, I have found how to LOVE myself. I’m proud because this didn’t take a shock to my system, depriving myself of food, or a product that would harm me in the long run.

I’m proud because I worked so HARD for this, and I never gave up on myself because I know I am worth it.

So thankful for a community of support, and for a company that thrives off of teaching us the importance of moving our bodies and balancing nutrition.

Trust me when I say that you CAN do this! If that girl on the left was able to pull it together and fall in love with her body (yes, the same girl that would sneak to fast food places, and eat allll the harmful things), then you absolutely can too.

This is why I am paying it forward and love it with every once of my being. Because we ALL deserve this freedom. We ALL deserve to be living our best life. And we ALL deserve to be PROUD of ourselves.

If you are ready for that change, shoot me a message! I will walk beside you every step of the way. You’ve got this gorgeous, I promise ♥️

Because no matter what, those 80 days are going to pass. Regardless of if you’re moving or sitting on the couch 😉

Might as well work that b***y and push through those 80 days with TONS of cheerleaders by your side working together.

How good would it feel to say, “look what I just did? And now I feel more confident than ever, and check out my 🍑!” 🤷🏼‍♀️

I PROMISE you can do this! Shoot me a message and let’s do this thing! It all goes down Jan. 15th! 💪🏼👊🏼

I remember that day, the one pictured here in the pool, as if it were yesterday.

I was in San Diego with my whole family, and I could not have been more uncomfortable in my own skin. Before doing anything that day, my sister in love and I sat outside while she helped me get set up with my first challenge pack.

I knew that pack would have all the tools I needed to help me, I just needed to WANT to help myself. I wasn’t sure I wanted to, so I begrudgingly said “ok”.

After this trip, and seeing all of the pictures of my unconfident self, I knew it was time.

What I didn’t know is that it was going to change ME as a human. That it would help me heal my open wounds of heartache, depression, loss and confusion.

The first time I shared that before picture, I met a new friend through it and she would have bet money that I had had gastric bypass surgery. It hit me then that my health was visibly more gone than I knew.

This change took hard work, and it still does every day. It takes choosing me from the second I wake up in the morning to the moment my head hits the pillow. It takes sweat and tears like you wouldn’t believe.

But through all of the hard work and through the moments of wanting to give up.. I’m so proud to say that it is worth it. I am worth it. I have succeeded and continue to. I will not give up on me. And you know what? YOU are worth it! You CAN do this! And you DO deserve it.

And shoutout to mama bear in picture number one, she’s had my back and supported me every step of the way ♥️

Let’s do this sister! Even if you have to quietly say “ok”, you journey will be so worth it.

I’ll never forget 2 years ago when a girlfriend asked me why I believed in this stuff.

At the time, I had just started drinking it and wasn’t 100% sure why I believed in it, I just knew I was feeling better - and it was a much better option than the crap I was putting in my body.

When I’m asked today why I believe in this superfood shake, I could go on for hours. The more I’ve learned about our bodies and what they need to be healthy, the more I’ve fallen in love with this.

• I love that I feel better • I love that my headaches are GONE • I love that the creators put their heart & soul into continuing to only make it better (that takes determination when it’s already the best 😉) • I love that they see the importance of our health to spend their lives helping us • I love that it’s not just a protein shake, meal replacement or weight loss tool • I love that it fuels me and makes my body happy • and I LOVE that it tastes like a peanut butter cup •

Any other questions on why I love this stuff? I’ve got a million and one reasons I would LOVE to chat about! ♥️

• ... take control of your pen and continue to write your story •

While I know quite a few of you know my story, some know all and some know none.
I guest blogged for The Gift of Second 2 years ago today. It was a breath of fresh air to share my story in the most reader’s digest version possible 😉

Enough for y’all to know my heart, know my struggles and see my victories.
If you missed it and have been curious to know my story and too nervous to ask (please feel free to reach out! We aren’t meant to go through life alone!), you can read my post at the link in comments ♥️

You guys! It's officially {Soup Season}!
These cooler nights have gotten me so excited to break out my crockpot and make some warm yummy soups.

My all time favorite food is chili! Through slowly turning my diet into a plant based diet, I was on a mission to find a vegan chili. Last fall I tested out this recipe and it was a hit! It's heart enough too, that I think if you added meat it would be a little to much.

There will be more recipes to come, but right now I'm craving this deliciousness 😍

You guys, I have found my new favorite recipe site! Not just because every single recipe looks AMAZING and made with whole foods, but I also want to be friends with Kate and her cute pup Cookie. Th…

My heart hurts today.

I was in tears this morning listening to the footage and nightmare stories of last nights devastation in Vegas.

And yet, in the midst of the pain, the stories of {love} between complete strangers doing what they can to make sure others survive, brings a sense of peace.

My heart is shattered, and the cracks are filled with pieces of hope amongst the beautiful humans effected last night.

It's easy to feel helpless in moments like this. But here's what you can do:

Keep praying, keep loving. Keep loving, keep loving, keep loving. ♥️
