⚖️ Let’s be real for a second.
💁🏻‍♀️Some of the things no one talks about during weight loss/weight gain journey is:

👚The clothes you mourn that no longer fit. I see people get upset often from weight gain going up a few sizes and forget that when we lose weight we are feeling the same thing. Through the past 4 years my weight has fluctuated drastically. From being thin to being pregnant, then losing weight, weight gain through pandemic, all over the place😂😂

💰The money you spend fluctuating weight!!!! You gain weight-you need bigger clothes
You lose weight- you need smaller clithes. Sometimes we get rid of clothes because we are in hopes to stay the same forever (we don’t stay the same forever, that’s a story for another post), We are in hopes to stay in our routine. We are in hopes that IF we gain/lose, it won’t be too much of a difference so we’ll be fine 😅 Now….. when you get rid of clothes, it’s HARD to get any value back for that money spent and it SUCKS!!!!! Thrift stores don’t give you much for adult clothes- you’re lucky into even get $3 😅 but if you know somewhere lemmmme know! 🤣🤣

🥗Eating good is hard. It’s boring, I’ll admit. It’s not like I hate ‘healthier’ options, it gets hard when you have cravings 🤣 No matter how tasty and creative you are with healthier options-ya get burnt out 🤷🏻‍♀️

🤸‍♂️Working out is HARD, especially when it’s been a while or have never done it, your body WILL adjust. You WILL live. Get creative with your work outs and don’t be afraid to sweat and feel the burn.

😅So to fill you in… health coaches, nutritionist, personal trainers ect. We’re NOT lying when we say ‘you HAVE to put the work in’ for results, there is no short cut.. sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m 21lbs down 🤩🤩🤩 since March and it wasnt easy but I am SO happy mentally. I feel stronger, I have tons of energy, I get up early again, I feel less stressed and for those who know me.. I have TERRIBLE sleeping issues (I tried everything)- my sleep is phenomenal 🤌

——- and yes…. I have stretch marks 🤷🏻‍♀️ it was a gift from my kids and ain’t going nowhere 🤣🤣

I appreciate all the patience and support!!! Thank You so much to everyone! It has been a good minute since I have been on here so I would like to update.

🥰I have so many new things coming hopefully by the end of this year

✅Things to expect:

-A new website
-Possibly a new name (I would like to target towards added things as I continue to grow my business)
-New programs and of course the programs that made this happen will stay

🌞This summer, I am focusing on:
-Reconstructing my health coaching business to give you the best coaching experience
-Studying for my new certifications to give you more opportunities than just 1:1 health coaching
-Adding new products to Bubbas light

Thank you for understanding and I can not wait to bring you a new opportunity to grow with me.

Dont forget to check out bubbas light for crafts and Skin-Deep for make up😘

Oooooh! This is a good one! You absolutely can 🥰 Be mindful of who you are and what you surround yourself with.
You are what you eat 🤷🏻‍♀️
Make wiser choices.
Where do you need your mindset?

It looks like a lot, but it’s not 😊

Most of my meals look like this 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lots of protein
Lots of fiber
Vitamin C
Good carbs
Tons of water in my day!

That pasta is also red lentil pasta 🍝

Okay ….. but does anyone actually like grapefruit?!? 😅

If so, do you eat it like that or is there a different way to enjoy it??

🍊 I like to try these every once in a while to see if I change my mind 🤣

When having movie time with kids but still trying to diet.
Try adding lemon and Tajin to your fruit 😊😊 SO GOOOD!!!

I LOVE breaded cauliflower 🥰🥰

Using my dandelion honey on my rice cake 😋😋😋

You know we are always trying out little nifty things in our house 😅

Picked some dandelions yesterday and turned it into honey 🤷🏻‍♀️

-good for the digestive system
-high in antioxidants
-considered vegan
-it’s suppose to be good for 6-12 months

How cool is this?!?

💁🏻‍♀️Before trying this at home, please be aware of where you are picking dandelions from considering you do NOT want to pick the ones that have already been sprayed since they are considered a w**d.

Okay don’t come at me 😅
🤦🏻‍♀️I’ve never been here before 🤦🏻‍♀️

But one just opened by my house and I need to know what the hype is!!

🤷🏻‍♀️What are your favorite things to order from here??? I must try it lol

🥗Eating healthy in my house isn’t really ‘hard’. It’s only hard when my kids want my food and things I’ve prepared for ME 😑🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
Then when I make a little extra just Incase they ask for some, then they don’t always go through it 😑😑🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I have spent some time away from social media these past two days. I have been focusing on studying and getting back in the gym and OMG it hurt so good 😅

I did two rounds today
BodyPump by AM
Spin by PM
Eating good and working out has been paying off. I have been feeling so good mentally and physically and shedding some weight 👍

I bust for the things I want 🥰

🥰My healthcoaching site will be down for a bit. You will have to reach me through here on FB. I appreciate the patience 🥰

😊I’m SOOO excited to be updating it and bringing new things to you all 😊

😋GUYS!!!!! This vegan Buffalo chicken wrap SOOOOOO delicious😋

😋😋 Eating healthy.. does NOT have to be boring 😋😋

Sautéed mushrooms and onions tossed up on a 🍔 Turkey Burger 🍔 and a side salad 🥗

💯 Keep on shining 💯

🥜Not only did I make butter, I also made homemade peanut butter and jelly🍓🫐

This was another EASY thing to make and hardly any ingredients. It was so delicious and all ingredients you can monitor 😍

🧩At the beginning of the year I had posted about my kids loving puzzles and the numerous of benefits it does for kids brain stimulation.
They were very eager for more of a challenge this round….
I got a 500 piece puzzle, you’d be surprised how quickly kids are. They finished it in 2 weeks.

This turned out to be an amazing way to keep them occupied without pulling out electronics and have them following you around that they’re bored 😩
Considering it is a bigger puzzle-it is also more time consuming. I picked a table that the puzzle could sit on as long as it needed. You’d be surprised how often the kids stop to add pieces here and there in passing 🤷🏻‍♀️

💕Seeing my daughter set up right next to me by choice truly melts my heart for so many reasons. I have never asked her to join me, she watched and wanted in lol

I cherish being a mother,
Giving them my knowledge
Giving them my strength
Being their inspiration
Being their role model

There are SO many things to cherish about being a mother.
Not only as a mother, but as a health coach and as a fitness instructor THIS inspires ME. While I’ve inspired her to set up, she’s inspired me with her being inspired to join 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Something I guess we forget to talk about as coaches/instructors.

🏋🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️ When we see our clients/members/patients trying something new, pushing harder, joining in, sticking with goals due to OUR inspiration.. it pushes us to keep going, it pushes us to improve what we already do, and to always present the best versions of ourselves. Sure, it’s our job to do it anyway obviously 😅 BUT it truly fuels our heart and gives us that extra push.

Spent the past two days at my father in laws and OMG this was SOOO good!!!!!

🙅🏻‍♀️STOP eliminating things. Quit depriving yourself from some of your favorite foods. Quit saying no 😩😩

🔑 MODERATION MODERATION MODERATION

And I’ll tell you, when I chose my ‘cheat’ meal. I picked something worth it and…. It was absolutely worth it 😅 I drank my margarita and enjoyed every bite

🧈I finally did it!
I had seen a friend made homemade butter and it was SO EASY!!!

The thing about homemade items is that YOU are in control of every single ingredient 😍 and it’s delicious ☺️

That liquid below-that’s buttermilk from… well the butter 🤷🏻‍♀️ made things with that too!

This is my ✨FAVORITE✨ breakfast 😍

🍞Whole grain bread
🥓Turkey bacon
🍳Egg
🥑Abocado
🌶️Hot sauce
🥛Small glass of kombucha

Hey guys!!!!

You DONT have to skip out on having pizza just because you’re trying to skip carbs 🤷🏻‍♀️
You don’t even have to skip out on your carbs, eat the carbs 😅

Pita bread though for pizza crust🤌🤌🤌

What a perfect personal size pizza without feeling guilty 😍

-turkey pepperoni
-garlic flavored olive oil
-tomatoes
-mozz cheese
-parsley

15minutes

SOOO GOOD!

✅Incase you needed a reminder to check your grocery list tonight before heading to the store… here’s your reminder 🤷🏻‍♀️

🤔 What’s on your grocery list lately?

🍀💚🍀💚Happy Saint Patty’s Day💚🍀💚🍀

Getting started over here ☺️

I was actually just talking about growth, experience and time the other day on my main profile. I was saying that I was actually enjoying being 30.
Growth, experience and knowledge truly come with age.

And yes it truly takes years to get to know others as well as yourself 🥰 Aging can be beautiful 🥰

Tried something different today. It was actually good, I enjoyed it.
80 calories, high in fiber, low in sugar, a dash of protein and packed with vitamins 🥰

I’m always looking for something different when I’m not feeling water but staying away from juice, soda or other sugary drinks.

This vegan meat is delicious!!!
Last time I tossed it with some bell peppers and rice so this time, I ate it over a tostada with Chile 😋
It’s definitely easy to get creative with this meat. This has to be one of my favorite vegan items for sure 😍
