Sometimes you just need to stop, take a deep breath and put things in perspective.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Perspective is the way we look at things when we look at them from a certain distance and it allows us to appreciate their value.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It’s been one hell of a year, however I am so grateful for all the silver linings I have been blessed with this year..

Transformation Tuesday

It’s not about perfect.

It’s about effort.

And when you bring the effort every single day, that’s where transformation happens.

That’s how change occurs!

These pictures are 2 weeks shy of being three years apart.

I remember just how uncomfortable I felt that day. I HATED taking full body pictures of myself, however I had just seen a post about “take the picture anyway” in which it spoke about your kids aren’t going to care how your hair looked, what clothes you were wearing or how “fat” you were, they just want the pictures that captured the moments you shared together.

My how things have changed! Now, I can’t stop taking pictures. I sure hope when my son looks back at his mothers pics one day, he can remember just how persistent his mother was on her journey to good health.

Push YOURSELF, because NOONE else is going to do it for YOU.

The last two weeks I have been pushing myself like never before.

After working virtually for two months and then being off for two months, and undergoing a Total Thyroidectomy, I figured it was to be expected.

My day starts at 5 am when I wake to take my little pill that replaces the hormones my thyroid once produced. I do my morning workout, get ready for work. Work a full day, come home, prepare dinner for my family, meal prep for the next day, run my coaching business for a few hours and then do it gain the next day.

Yeah, that does sound exhausting!!

Earlier this week I went for my 8 week post-op lab work. Today o for a call from my doctor and he said “Your TSH (thyroid stimulating thyroid) is extremely high” which means my little pill isn’t strong enough and it’s not producing enough hormones and I’m very hypothyroidic (I made that word up)

Which explains the extreme fatigue, hair loss, dry skin (thought that was from living in the oven of AZ), weight gain/inability to lose weight (Thankful I haven’t gained any weight in the last two months, but I also haven’t lost any, and I’m working my b***y off), and increased sensitivity to cold (explains why I am wearing a jacket when it’s a 116 degrees outside).

I can use this all as my EXCUSE or my REASON...

You already know... it’s my fuel. I will NOT let my thyroid disease define me, I will not let it win. I will continue to push myself each and everyday.

“Your life, your success, your happiness really are in your own hands. The power to change, the power to let go, be adventurous and embrace your potential all lie within your reach. Remember no one can save you, no one can shift you, all of that is your responsibility and what better time to embrace that change than now?”

This spoke so deeply to me. I remember so clearly how I was feeling 2 1/2 years ago. I was so unhappy. I constantly looked to others for my own happiness and was constantly disappointed. WHY? Because my happiness does not lie in the hands of anyone else.

It’s up to ME!!

Once I started taking care of me, via working on my mental and physical health, doors began to open.
I have done things I never imagined I would do, like complete obstacle course races, complete 15+ 5Ks alone last year, kayaking, paddle boarding and more.

I became a health and fitness coach, which continues to bring me happiness through the friendships I have formed, the lives I have been able to change and the income from my side hustle that allows me to save money for vacations and now put towards medical bills.

Non of this would have been happening, had I not embraced CHANGE the day I committed to my first fitness program, and then coaching.

I’m forever grateful for my coach, who shared this gift with me..

Now I’m here to share this gift with you.

Are you looking to lose weight? Gain muscle? friendships? Happiness? Extra income?

Well I can help you find that and more!!

Looking to mentor no more then 10 woman during the month of July, to work aside me as I make my COMEBACK!!

Is it going to be you?

“Either you control your destiny or your destiny will control you. Life won’t stop for tour pauses and procrastinations. It won’t stop for your confusion or fear, will continue right along without you.
Whether you play an active part or not, the show will go on.” -Gary John Bishop

Tomorrow I will be committing AGAIN to the program that started it all for me, the program that reversed 80% of my health concerns literally in 3 months.

80 Day Obsession!!

It’s 80 days of obsessive focus on fitness and nutrition, spread over 13 weeks.

Is it extreme? Oh, yes. The workouts are intense — averaging 45 minutes to an hour in length. And the diet guidelines are every bit as demanding. I’ll be following a specially calibrated macro-nutrition plan perfectly timed to produce amazing results at each phase of the program.

I would be lying if I didn’t say I was nervous about this commitment, as I’m just about a month out from my Thyroidectomy, haven’t really pushed hard in a workout in over a month and it shows with muscle loss and decreased endurance.

But what I do know is that I completed this program in the worst of health and shape of my life, and even though I’m not at my best, I’m a long way from where I used to be.

You can hang around and watch me or you can join me.
Life is gonna go on, might as well play an active part in it.

Now enrolling for our July virtual group.

Get in contact with me if you want more info.

The more the merrier. Guys, this includes you!

Never underestimate the INVESTMENT you make in YOURSELF!!!
🤘🏻

As I stand here 5 days post op and feeling GOOD, I can’t help but imagine how different my situation would be if I was faced with this surgery two and a half years ago.
🤔
I was obese, pre-diabetic, pre-hypertensive, had extreme triglyceride levels, high cholesterol and anxiety.
I had no nutritional knowledge, never indulged in personal development and was miserable.
😩
Although the last few months were extremely hard mentally, I had my fitness programs to dive into to keep my anxiety and emotions afloat and a nutrition program to keep me from completely going off track.
I went into this surgery after many tests with thumbs up from various specialist. During recovery I experienced a deflated lung due to my intubation tube moving into my right lung and leaving my left lung with no air for the last few minutes of the surgery.
I was put on 10 liters of oxygen and given a breathing treatment. Due to me being in the best health of my life, within 2 hours I was able to get off the oxygen and inhaling 2000 on the spirometer.
🥼
Due to my having a strong core, I was able to get myself from lying to sitting using mainly my core and not straining my neck.
When my surgeon came in the morning after surgery, she said she knows my recovery will be a good one, as I was in GREAT HEALTH. I couldn’t help but smile when she said that. Why? Because I did that. No one else, no drugs or surgeries.
Me showing up imperfectly CONSISTENTLY over time earned me the title “Healthy”.
🏃🏻‍♀️
I say this all simply to say, the BEST investment you can ever make is in your HEALTH.
You never know what the future has in store for you, be prepared!

Celebrate the small wins.
They come together and create BIG wins.
😁
When I started my health journey a little under 2 1/2 years ago I was very unhealthy. One of the biggest concerns was my triglyceride levels.
😞
“High levels of triglycerides (greater than 200 mg/dl) are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and therefore coronary artery disease and stroke.”
🤯
When I started my journey my Triglycerides was at THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE! Yes, 389!!
When I say I was unhealthy, I really mean it.
That was just one of the MANY concerns.
😭

Well today I got my latest blood work results and as they were letting me know my cholesterol is still slightly elevated, I noticed there was NO MENTION of my Triglycerides.
I asked and she responds with, oh they are in NORMAL range.
🤗
From strictly DIET and EXERCISE (NO MEDICATION), I have lowered my Triglycerides from 389 in January 2018 to 142 in May 2019!!

Consistency over time will get you results!!!!!

On a side note, my cholesterol is a little elevated 😞, but I know I’ve been snacking on alot of packaged salty/crunchy snacks during Quarantine..
I’m allowing myself some grace, but once I’m healed from surgery, it’s ON!

You can’t calm the storm, so stop trying.
What you can do is, calm yourself.
The storm will pass.
⚠️ LONG POST ⚠️

As each day passes, I’m learning there are many things out of my control. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t affect my mental health.
The last couple of months have been HARD. There is no easy way to put it. Aside from the pandemic, we each have our own worries and concerns.
My anxiety has been taking me on the ultimate rollercoaster ride. I’m talking the tallest, loopiest roller coaster you can imagine.
I’ve experienced the anxiety where you have tingling all through your body, numb limbs, shortness of breath, ringing in your ears, chest pain, lightheaded and dizzy. Where you feel like if you don’t concentrate in your breath, you might just stop breathing.
Yes it’s “all in my head” and No, I cannot “just calm down”, “stop thinking”, “stop worrying”. That’s not how this works! I wish it did, trust me.
What I can do, is do what brings me joy. What eases my symptoms, and calms my soul, even if it is just for a few hours.
I exercise.. I know it sounds cliche, but it’s the truth.
Instead of popping a pill (trust me I have had no choice a few times), I push play, I take a walk, a run or a meeting with nature.
Two 2 1/2 years ago, NON of these remedies were on my radar. I coped the o my way I knew how.. with FOOD!
I am so grateful, that even though there have been more hard days lately, that I now have the tools to help myself work through these days.
How do you treat your anxiety?
What are your tips?
