I can't begin to explain all the emotion I am feeling.
😰
Today, I completed my mission-I set out and accomplished what I wanted to do with this mom bod.
💃
I want to thank you all for being here and supporting me every step of the way.
Through my struggles and truimphs, my highs and lows, through thick and thin.
Rain or Shine.
💕🌞 ☔
I am still in disbelief that this is real life, that this is ME.
You can chase your dreams too, all you gotta do is believe in yourself and give it your best shot, day in and day out!

🎶
Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down
It can break your heart.
🎶
Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road
At the end of the day.
🎶
But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way
Of taking it's own sweet time.
🎶
No, life ain't always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride.
🎶
- Gary Allan

Go after it & don't quit til your satisfied.

6/10/19➡2/4/20

Wed Feb. 5th will be the last day of Rock Your Mom Bod.
Thurs Feb. 6th I will post an update about my new fitness page!

The last 3 years have been very challenging and eventful, but I am also thankful.
👐
Jan. 2017 I had a fulfilling career, I was working on my health & wellness and I was and didn't know it.
Jan. 2018 I became a stay at home mom of a 3 month old baby and was trying to figure EVERYTHING out, again.
Jan. 2019 I experienced family trauma and was struggling with who I was and who I wanted to be.
Jan. 2020 I know who I am and I know where I am going because of God and His plan for me! Jeremiah 29:11
We all have good & bad days but everyday I am reminded I am beyond measure!
✨✨✨

In a few weeks I am not going to be posting here as Rock Your Mom Bod.
I have change my fitness handle on Instagram so I will be making a new Facebook Fitness page as well.
I've been thinking about the name change for awhile and for several reasons:
1- I am starting a new program soon to work and focus on a bigger, badder, stronger me.
2- I have lost all the baby weight plus some and am the smallest and fittest I have ever been in my life, thus, my mission with Rock Your Mom Bod has been completed.
3- I am going to continue to stay at home with Lucas until he starts school. So getting my certification as a Personal Trainer is still very much wanted but not needed at this time.
I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS LEFT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO ME ON THIS JOURNEY. WITHOUT GOD, FAMILY & FRIENDS I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS.
Please stay tuned for this upcoming transition!

Thank you Facebook for showing me how far I've come in 10 years!😱

I've been doing for two months now & I only have a few weeks left....but I wanted to see where I've come since I started for
⬇
11.6lbs gone, my are popping now more than ever without even trying to , I'm starting to see definition in my , my mental and physical and have improved tremendously. My has been alot cleaner and more on point than it has been in my whole life (yes I still follow the 80/20 rule when it comes to holidays, parties, etc but I don't and always get and my very rarely flares up)
I say all that to say this:
👇
I am a "wife" and a mother
I have a busy life.
I have a job and other responsibilities.
I have stress.
I am trying to live the and follow God's plan for me.
I am just like YOU and I didn't let these things and ALL the excuses I could have used to keep me from being my best self & living my best life
💯

💥 💥
Yesterday, I celebrated my 2 year fitversary of starting back after having Lucas.

😱😱😱
This didn't happen overnight.
This took and most of all,
😭😰💦🙏
But one thing I never did was give up!!!
I am a million times closer to where I want to be.
I am working on bigger & badder things this year.
I am coming after ALL the things they said I'd never have & WILL become the person they said I would never be.
💯🏆

🌟CHANGE🌟
How much can one see in a year? (Jan4 2019 - Jan3 2020)
Try almost 30lbs!
That's as much as Lucas weighs right now!
😱
I can't wait to see what God has in store for me this year!!!

When you decide enough is enough and put God in charge, you WILL find out who you are and where you're going.
➡➡➡
The last 2 years for us on the has had countless up's, down's, and road blocks but...
⛔
We never took a detour.
We followed the right directions. We asked for help when we got lost.
⛪

Everyday we make choices.
Choices that either put us closer to our or destroy everything we've put forth to get here.
🏆
Is a 2020 for you?
🎇
Contact my girl .thack

SO many things accomplished in almost 8 months
📆
I am not using Christmas this year as an excuse to give up on my but I promise you will still enjoy it just as much!

Jeremiah 29:11
⛪📖
Don't let one weekend of , & deceive you into thinking you've undone all the you've incurred over the last month.
It's absolutely okay to allow things in for 2 or 3 days.
📅
Yes there will be a gain, but it's all water weight anyways.
💧
It will mess with your head but as long as you it too and get , you'll see that drop and you'll break plateaus and reach new records.
🏆
God has His plan you for & I believe He wants you to enjoy the life He gave you.
👪
Creating new habits and living that 80/20 lifestyle will set you up for long term success.

With God, anything is possible!
⛪
It is possible to build the life & body you want!
👪💪
Today's has me seeing progress since I started really getting my act together & affirmation that I'm getting to where I want to go!
⬇
📷 Pic 1 shows you my demise, my arms.
😳Looking at today's pic, I was like "my arms are slimming down!" I've always hated how big they looked. If they were solid muscle I'd be okay with that! But truthfully they were just plain flabby.
🌟Current progress from 5/28/19, 8/16/19, 12/10/19 totals almost 20lbs down. Idk how many inches. Probably a few!
📷 Pic 2 was 2 months PP, getting to know my baby and new body. Not really caring about nutrition or exercise until the New Year.
🌟Current progress 12/10/17 - 12/7/19 is 36lbs gone!!! And a truck load of inches!
I am headed for another milestone; I'm am THIS close 👌 to grabbing it by the back of the shirt and pulling it down!!!
🏆

I have been Blessed, God's so good to me!
❤
Him sending me my Lucas will always be my greatest blessing.
👼
Any other blessings along the way are just bonuses!
🌟
He knows what we need, when we need it.
All you gotta do is pray and have faith!
🙏🙌

It's really nice to see the lean gains coming in.
Happy !!!
💪😀👊

You know what amazes me?
The crazy 💩 people are willing to try so they can lose weight.
😵
There ain't a pill or drink that 100% legitimately is gonna be responsible for your
💊🍸
YOU HAVE TO CLEAN UP YOUR DIET & YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE.
I'll say it louder for the ones in the back, idc.
👋😤
Y'all go ahead and keep trying that lastest fad diet or something an internet scam claims to do.
Imma keep letting my light shine in that old-fashioned way of losing weight for real
💯✌

It amazes me that women look at the sky and think - "Wow, God is SO amazing!"
😍
But then look in the mirror and think - "Ugh.!"
As if He didn't create both
👼
There is nothing wrong with you, you are perfect just the way God made you.
💞
But if you want to let the best you shine, you've got to get out of that comfort zone.
✨
If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you
💯

When you look in the mirror, do you like who you see?
😍
Well you should because you have to live with that person for the rest of your life.
🙈🙉🙊
I am so thankful that God gives me opportunity after opportunity to continue on this path.
🌉
Over the last 10 months I have lost 20+lbs and today I had to cinch the bottom band of my sports bra up at least an inch!
📏
I am so close to the 40 lost mark. Think I just might cry if I do.
😭
These dreams & goals I've have for over 5 yrs are starting to become real. Like really REAL.
😱
I want to thank everyone who has shown/given me support with your likes and comments! (Keep them comin'!) It means alot!!!
😊💕
I know I can get annoying with sharing my journey but you really don't understand what this journey is doing to me & that's ok!
This journey is MINE & I will OWN IT!
💯

20lb difference from Thanksgiving 2018 ➡ Thanksgiving 2019
🌽
I don't know my exact on the left (guessing 167/168) but I do know I was always stuck fluctuating between the same 5lbs.
😣
But honestly, I was sabotaging my own .
👇
❎My was 50/50.
❎I would more times than I'd like to admit because I just didn't know how to deal with my problems.
❎I never drank enough water.
❎I was eating too much processed foods; making poor carb choices.
❎I tried to use every excuse as to why I wasn't seeing my body .
I was 100% convinced I was going to look like this no matter what and I stayed like this for several more months.
😥
I FINALLY decided enough was enough. I had to do something in order to become the person I so desperately wanted to be
🙋
Through in God and believing that I CAN change, I started cleaning up my with whole foods, more water, completed several programs (no matter how bad I wanted to quit and do something else) and just overall making my days more active and productive
📈
If you want to pursue your own transformation
⬇
🌻You've got to get excited about it!
🌻You've gotta put in the work if you want to get the results.
🌻You have to start walking closer with God.
🌻You need to know you are beautiful & wonderfully made.
🌻You have to drop the guilt and realize there is absolutely nothing selfish about making yourself a priority.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 💚
Be thankful for EVERYTHING

Do you ever take a to about what means to you?
💭
This year has a meaning for me....
There have been many things I have endured, good & bad.
😀😞
It's made me look myself to REALLY be for God's wonderful & gracious He has bestowed upon me
⬇
My son/my best friend, a man who loves me no matter what, who works hard to give us our wants/needs and no one else whom I would choose to do life with.
👪
Family, no matter the circumstances, who loves you unconditionally.
👩👨
A warm & safe home, where I am able to free to choose what I want to & , to wear and a to rest my body. All the that we take for granted on a basis, like water, and a dependable to get us where we want to go.
🏠🍎☕💧🚗
Our & able bodies!
🏃💪
I am also thankful that I am able to enjoy an 80/20 when the food spreads cover every inch of the kitchen, all while continuing to quality and unwanted !!!

10/29/19 ➡ 11/23/19
8.5lbs ⬇ in less than a month
🏆
Most people bulk up in the winter. But not me!!
Feeling too good to let the holidays stop me from feeling & living my best
💯
Progress pics were in order because I have officially lost 30lbs since starting my "fit again" journey Jan. 2018 & hit a new weight I have never seen as an adult
😱😅
Now that's something to celebrate!
🎉
You can do things you never thought possible. All you need is God & the power of belief!

Oct. 2009 ➡ Nov. 2019
How has a DECADE already come and gone!?!?
😱
I thank God for TIME.
⏰
Thankful for time to live and love
💏👶
& for the glow up! 💖

& carbs won't make you fat
🍔🍟🍕🍝🍞🍩🎂🍦🍪🍫

Two different women.

Two different lives.

Two different bodies.

Two different goals.

SAME weight.
----------------------
Yes, there are these things that we each wished we had from the other 😎
We each deal with our own daily stress/struggles of being queen of the castle 👑
But we both set aside time to become the best version of ourselves💃
Do you know how great it feels when you finally hit that goal weight? 🏆
Freakin' awesome right?!?! 🎉
However, that number isn't everything & doesn't define complete happiness 😔
Because you may not look the way you envisioned 💭
That's why it is so important to give it 💯 EVERY. SINGLE. DAY &
Don't quit until you're satisfied!!!!

Spreading a little
⬇
I have officially broke the 150 mark AND am able to fit into these capris for the first time ever!😱
(I bought them 4 yrs ago for way cheap and they were always too tight😬)
YOU CAN DO IT! Believe me. Because I never thought I would see this day.
On a side note....all my bottoms fit good in the and 🍑 but too big in waist.
Ladies, what are some of your favs that stay put!?
Thanks! 💕
