🤩💥Let's give a huge shoutout to my client Sami Michel! Sami has been training with me for a year. She is down 28 lbs & 62.75 inches!💥🤩

❤️ Sami came to me a year ago. She was ready to make a change. If not, her health would have gotten the best of her. She is to young to let that happen.She shows up at least 5 days a week at the gym and her nutrition is on point. I have to say she is one very dedicated lady. I love her energy and determination.

❤️ She works a full time job and has her side business on the side. She is very busy but she shows up. She made the decision to change and she has stuck with it. Yes, she has had ups and downs with the scale and process but never gave up. This is what gets results. She is went from an XL (size 14 to a size 10!!🙌

❤️ I am so proud of all the hard work you put in. I couldn't ask for a better client and friend.😍 You always push yourself even when things feel uncomfortable and never complain. (Well maybe a little LOL!)I look forward to pushing you to the next level and getting more great results!💪 Thank you so much for letting me take this journey with you!!😘

One thing you have to realize is Sami still enjoys life and the foods she loves. She has learned control and how to enjoy things in moderation and still lose the weight. A healthy lifestyle does not have to be hard or complicated. Keep it simple!! She now has so much more energy, more confidence, and is living her best life.

Check out her before and afters. Incredible results!! 👇👇 You are gonna ROCK that swimsuit this summer!👙

"I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY RESULT IN MY LIFE. IF I WANT DIFFERENT RESULTS, I HAVE TO CHANGE MY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS"

Last day to register for the SUGAR DETOX CHALLENGE! Starts Monday March 21st! https://bit.ly/3pJTyQw

Going into WEEK 9! 7 Weeks until Show Day!!

The first pic was in December of 2021 right before I started my journey. As I look at these before and after pics, I see hard work💪🏻, lots of discipline, sacrifice, NO EXCUSES, sweat🥵, time and patience. I still ask myself “What was I thinking when I decided to start prepping for my first bikini competition?” LOL! I had no clue what I was getting into…

But I have to say it has been an amazing journey so far. I would have never dreamed my body could transform like it has so far, especially at 50!!😁

As women, when we get older our bodies go through so many changes. Our metabolism is not the same after we turn 40, we start having issues with belly fat and bloat, the scale is our emeny, hormone issues, menopause starts knocking on the door, sleep issues, no energy and more. Things we used to do to help keep the weight off and keep us healthy doesn't work like it did before.

I guess you can say this is where I was at in my life. I was busting my butt in the gym🏋️‍♀️ like I normally do, but I was at a plateau and the scale kept going 🆙. I weighed more than I ever did!!🤦‍♀️ I knew my nutrition was NOT on point and I had to get control before it got out of hand. This is WHY I needed this challenge. I needed a change and something to work for so I can get some results! I was NOT happy with where my body was going!

With this challenge being way OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, I am so glad I am doing it! I am down 14LBS, lost 7% body fat and I’m still building muscle. I love the changes. I look at my results so far and I can say, I am so proud of myself for sticking to it and trusting the process.😍

But I have to say I am a nervous wreck about getting on stage!😳 I am hoping to hit my end results. Not sure what that will be yet! But READY OR NOT we have 7 weeks til stage and showtime!! 😊

“WHEN THE PAIN OF REMAINING THE SAME IS GREATER THEN THE PAIN OF CHANGE, THEN YOU WILL CHANGE”

IF I RUN A FREE 5 DAY SUGAR DETOX CHALLENGE, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED?? 👇👇
YES OR NO

Happy Friday!!❤️ What is one POSITIVE thing that happen to you this week??👇👇👇👇

CHECK THIS OUT!! This is one thing I don’t do without!!👇👇

I don’t know about you, but some of the food I eat leave me bloated. Especially going through prep! It is very important to have a healthy digestive system. Did you know your immune system starts in your gut???

Healthy gut, healthy immune system

1 in 3 Americans suffer from some form of digestive issue.

Here’s how you know if that’s you...

Are you on the list?
*gas and bloating after meals
* stomach cramps after eating 🙋🏼‍♀️
* heartburn, constipation, diarrhea
* frequent burping
* The sense of a rock sitting in your gut, feeling full after a few bites of food
* feeling of undigested food
* not being able to eat certain foods.... 😕

Good Zymes helps you break down your food correctly with 18 digestive blend. Checkout the photo below. AMAZING how quickly this stuff works!

* works with natural pH levels
* formulated to assist with gluten digestion

See below 👇🏻 This is oatmeal... first cup has 2 capsules of Good Zymes. 🙌🏻 The second one has nothing in it.

It gives us the proper level of each type of enzyme that we need so our bodies can digest food without all the side effects. Since we all love food!! This allows us to enjoy it!!😍

It also helps me break down the food to lose weight and belly to stay flat! 🙌🏻 One more reason it’s such a great store to shop with. ❤️

🙌🏻🎉Week 3 down another 1.6lbs and 1”!!🎉🙌🏻

Total lost is 7.6lbs and 11.26” in 3 weeks!!🎉

The last week was rough. The nutrition and exercise was going great! Then life happened. Covid finally caught up with me last week. 🤦‍♀️ Luckily it was like a cold. But I had 2 days were I didn’t workout. I was really hungry but forces myself to stay on track with my meal prep.

Even though I really wanted some homemade soup my mom made, I stayed focused. After 2 days, I pushed through my workouts at home. Which felt good to get up a do something. I will admit it was a struggle at first because Covid does make you tired.

I wasn’t sure if it would mess up my weight loss but I am proud of myself for not falling off the wagon. When I got on the scale and was down another 1.6lbs!! It was worth staying on track!!😁

Sometimes life is going to throw us curve balls. (Not just Covid) It is up to us to decide what and how to react when that curve balls comes!! Do we force ourselves to stay the stay on track and push harder during those moments or do we give up and fall back?  Pushing trough the hard times will make us stronger!💪🏻

I glad I trusted the process and stayed the course! My clothes are looser, my belly fat is almost gone, I have so much more energy, and I am toning up!💪🏻💪🏻 So yes I am glad I pushed myself this week!😍

“HAVE FAITH, HOLD YOUR VISION AND TRUST THE PROCESS”

Just curious, Do you currently suffer with belly fat?
YES OR NO
👇👇👇

Week 2 of 16 week prep Down 6lbs and 10.25”

So week 2 was a lot better than last week. I am down 1lb and 5.25” My body is changing and I have a lot of energy right now. I am loving it!!😁 But I find myself waking up at 4:00am. I am sure that will change as time goes by. Seeing the changes every morning is definitely keeping me going. I have not cheated once. My mind is set on this goal and I will achieve it.💪🏻

We had our first posing practice.This will be a challenge for me. I have to learn a walk routine as well. I hope I don’t fall flat on my face when I get on stage! LOL!

My Birthday 🥳 was Sunday. The family ate spaghetti 🍝 and potato salad. I ate my meal prep and an oatmeal healthy cupcake🧁for my birthday cake. I wasn’t tempted.

Now, I could have given myself an EXCUSE to eat or have a drink because it was my birthday. But what good would that have done. I didn't want to set off triggers in my brain to want more bad food. I worked too hard the last 2 weeks and I wasn’t going to mess it up.

We even went to watch a movie.📽When we walked in, I could smell the popcorn🍿. It smelled amazing but didn’t tempt me. I just drank water.

You see, this is a mentally game. We have the POWER to control our minds and thoughts. If we consistently tell ourselves negative thoughts your mind will start to believe it. But if you start telling yourself positive thoughts, your mind will believe it.

Pushing myself to do things that’s out of my routine was hard at first but, the more I stick to it the easier it gets. The more you stick to something the more it becomes a habit. I have to say this is a sacrifice for both myself and my family. I am so thankful for the support I get from them.❤️

SUCCESS is hard work, sacrifice, struggle, faith and patience. The only question to ask yourself is, ARE YOU willing to SACRIFICE to ACHIEVE your goals?

We are now almost halfway through week 3 and we are still going STRONG!!

“FINISH WHAT YOU START”

The Leaf

Why does this house choose the leaf? 🌿 Why have we shopped here every single month for almost four and a half years? 🤷‍♀️💛
Here are just some of the reasons: 🌿💛

1) Because the leaf represents products made in the USA 🇺🇸 and we love to shop local! 💛

2) Because this company, unlike Johnson & Johnson and other competitors, doesn’t put chemicals in their products like phthalates, triclosan, and formaldehyde. 💛

3) Because it free shipping and ships more quickly than Amazon. 💛

4) Because everything we buy has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. 💛

5) Because it provides us all our immunity and digestive health needs and has helped keep us healthy over the past 4 1/2years. 💛

6) Because we vote with our dollars. 💰💛

7) Because in 36 years this company hasn’t had a single insurance increase due to injury or harm while its competitors pay out MILLIONS. 💛

8 ) Because if a child or pet accidentally ingests a cleaner or inhales the shower spray, poison control won’t even be worried. Did you even know that toilet bowl cleaner is one of the leading causes of poison and harm in a household? 😳🤦‍♀️

9) Because products like PINESOL and FABULOSO and LYSOL and other name brands cause our lungs just as much damage as if we smoked a PACK A DAY. 😳😢

10) Because I love body washes and makeup and hair products and our competitors use THOUSANDS of chemicals that disrupt their hormones and endocrine system. This leaf represents European standard and helps me breathe deep sighs of relief. 💛

11) Because this store is more affordable than ever and NEVER price gouges. 💛

12) Because we know the CEO and I support and respect his values and beliefs. I’ve seen behind the curtain and it’s GOOD. 💛

13) Because the products we choose to eat, clean with, and put on our skin matter! The harsh chemicals and toxins and cheap ingredients used in many familiar brands negatively impact our health. The products we purchase from my favorite online store 🌿 are highly effective, free of any harsh chemicals or toxins, clinically proven, and are more affordable than what we were buying before I found this brand. 💛

14) Because I love the many perks and savings benefits they give their customers…and their customer service is truly amazing! 💛. And now they have a new program called Shipping on Us!

15) Also because their dry shampoo and granola bites and skin care and hair products and makeup and disinfectant wipes and bandaids and cough drops and fiber product and digestive enzymes and protein and joint support and lavender bedding spray and wrinkle release and shower cleaner and about 400 other products are a better quality and value than anything you can find in the marketplace! 💛

I could count to 100, but now you know a few. 😍

What is one thing you dream about but you never realistically think it will happen??👇👇

YES!😊

Well, I made it through week one!! I am down 5lbs and 5”!!

I have to say, it was a challenge and an adjustment. I have to prepare meals ahead of time.😳 I never prepped my meals before. My kitchen was a HOT mess!!LOL! I had food every where.😬 I am not used to eating 5 meals a day. Even though I should be eating 5 to 6 meals a day.🤪 Snacks are not just a small snack. It is meat, veggies and some complex carbs. 🥦🍗🍠 IT IS A LOT OF FOOD!!

When I first started, I had to force myself to eat even though I wasn’t hungry. I also had to learn to eat breakfast before my workouts. I usually do my workouts on an empty stomach. For workouts, I am having to add in cardio. 🏃‍♀️🫀 I am not a fan of cardio so this was a struggle at first.

I will say even though I had struggles, I pushed myself to eat even though I normally don’t eat breakfast and eat even though I was not hungry. Now my body is adjusting to it. I look forward to breakfast. My workouts are so much better eating before I go to the gym. The cardio 🏃‍♀️ is also getting easier.😁

It is also a huge sacrifice. NO EATING OUT for 15 more weeks!!😳 I will save lots of money.💸 Believe it or not, I am not even having any cravings because I am so full.

I think about the sacrifices our GOD went through. He died on the cross for us.✝️ So when I start thinking about the time I have left and wondering if I will make it. I think about this. Then I know I can make it through the next 15 weeks. I WILL SURVIVE!

I now have so much energy and I feel great! My clothes are loose. I am starting to see cuts and muscle already. Getting results will help motivate me to keep going.

It is amazing how much inflammation your body has when you don’t incorporate healthy food. Your nutrition is your choice. We get to pick and choose what foods we eat. When we choose the wrong foods, we gain weight and start having health issues. When we choose healthy foods, we loose weight and feel great. You have a choice every day. A healthy lifestyle is NOT a diet. It’s making the right choices to live a healthy lifestyle.

At the end of the day, in life if you want something bad enough, you will have to make the right choices, changes and sacrifices even though you may not like it. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to do things we don’t want to do. But in the end it will be WORTH IT!!

Now onto WEEK 2…….

🎉👏Week 1 of our 16 week prep for our 1st Figure Competition is almost done!!👏🎉

YEP! You read that right. I will compete in my 1st figure competition. I have so many emotions going on in my head.

🔘Excitement
🔘Nervous
🔘Fear
🔘Doubt
🔘What will people say?
🔘Wondering how I will do this for 15 more weeks?

But that's the mind for you. It loves to control us and stop us from the things we really want to do. Fear and doubt can STOP you in your tracks! I WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. No matter what, I will put my mind, heart, and soul into this competition. I will put my best effort in this to reach my goal.

I will be 50 in 8 days. Some of you may say why you want to do that now? But I say, WHY NOT? I have been into health and fitness for 9 years and love it. I love to INSPIRE and EMPOWER people to believe in themselves to follow your goals and dreams no matter your age. We only have one life. It’s time to live it to the fullest NOW!!

In this picture below, there is a 30 year age difference. I am so excited to take on this new journey with Kelsei Quick I love her passion for fitness, and determination. Yes, I can be her mom.😂 This goes to show you, age is just a number, you can conquer anything you want at any age.

2021 was an amazing year. I have achieved so many goals that I didn’t think were possible. I am so blessed and God keeps the blessings coming!! For 2022, I have so many other goals but this one is the one that is the most important to me. I am not ready to just settle with my life. I want more. I love to challenge myself with new things. I think I said I would never do a competition. But NEVER SAY NEVER, right?🤷‍♀️

God has blessed me in so many ways and I know he will lead me and Kelsei through this. This will NOT be an EASY goal. It will be a lot of hard work, sacrifices, discipline, control, and really focusing on my mindset. But in the end win or lose, we already WON. 🏆😍

My goal is to see what my body can do at 50. To see how much control I have over my own mind and ROCK this journey! I will overcome the fear and doubt, (believe me there is lots of fear). I want to teach my girls that when you conquer your fears and get out of your comfort zone, anything is possible. I want to be a great role model for them. I love the support that I have from Chad Lynch and my girls. This helps me so much!!❤️

I believe God has a purpose for me. That’s to serve and to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone. Get out of your head and get comfortable being uncomfortable! Don’t let fear and doubt hold you back. Rather it be with your health, job, sport, finances, etc. If you have a goal that’s scary and fear and doubt is holding you back, I hope this will INSPIRE you!! Be watching as I post my journey!!😃

Lastly, I want to give a huge thank you to Jared Bourque for believing in Kelsei and I. We appreciate your support and guidance through this journey. We cannot do this without you!😊

🙌🤩I am one proud god mother and coach!! These before and afters make me smile!!😍 Kaylee Babin is down 21.4LBS and 16.5". She has put hard work and sweat to get these results.🤩🙌

❤️Kaylee started training with me in April. She committed to two 30 minute sessions 2 days a week. She gave up coke and started following a meal plan that teaches moderation and not elimination. She still enjoys coke and the foods she loves in moderation.

❤️When I show up she is ready to go.👟👟 She puts her all in her workouts and never complains. She has more energy, confidence, feel good about herself and has more strength.

Most people think that you have to workout for hours and do tons of cardio to get results. Exercise is only 10 to 20 percent. Nutrition is 80 to 90 percent. But mindset is number one.

Getting results doesn't have to take much time. It takes commitment, mindset and consistency. Showing up and making smalls changes everyday.

If Kaylee can do this, so can you. Let her be your inspiration!!
