The world can seem scary and things can feel heavy with everything that is going on these days.

I hope that we can bring some light back into our lives with some exercise for not just our physical body but also our spirit. We tend to spend a lot of time focused on the physical, but we can do some positive exercise for our souls too ✨

Practicing gratitude can help increase our capacity for peace, kindness, and joy in the world (and we certainly need more of that).

Let’s remember to always feel gratitude.

Easy exercise - grab a piece of paper and start writing down everything in your life that you are thankful for, big or small. Really feel those feelings and spend as much time as you can there. Please share a few and let’s spread the joy and light!

💕 Start Loving Yourself 💕

When you hold yourself in high esteem and know you are fulfilling your purpose in life, you tend to have more enjoyment and a more positive attitude toward the future. Motivation for Healthy Habits. Self-love can motivate you to adopt healthy habits and take care of your physical self.

Stop accepting your negative thoughts.

Never apologize for who you are or what you like.

Don't compare yourself to others - you are unique.

Try to accept your "flaws" as part of what makes you YOU.

Reject the media's limited ideal of beauty - create your own!

Remember that perfection is unattainable without acceptance.

Know that acceptance doesn't happen overnight.

💕Which of these resonates the most with you? Why?

YOU HAVE A CHOICE..
This is what I have to remind myself of daily💕

You have a choice in how you respond when things don’t go as you planned.
You have a choice in your attitude.
You have a choice to find the little wins.
You have a choice to smile and take a breath.
You have a choice to not let the stress suck you in.
You have a choice to be grateful!

This season of little people, big needs, busy days, and stuck at home can feel overwhelming.
Honestly it is hard for me to NOT let the chaos get to me!

You can do hard things and still choose joy 💚

I was 25yrs old, when I lost my mom. That’s also when I lost my identity.
Growing up, I lacked self confidence. I was the one who’s face would turn beet red when the attention was on me.
But, I was figuring out who I was, learning my strengths, my likes and finding my self worth. I was working on coming out of my shell.
Having a sick mom is not easy. My sweet mom was diagnosed stage IIII metastatic ovarian cancer at the age of 39. I was only 16yrs old. She was given 6mos or less to live. But, this was unacceptable to her. She fought a hard battle for 7.5 years! She taught me an invaluable lesson - It’s easier to give up than to fight but if you want something bad enough you REFUSE to quit!!
Fight for what you want in life!
When she left us, my eyes were opened. I knew I wasn’t going to settle for less than I wanted out of this life.
I quickly transitioned into a courageous, hopeful intrepid. I was moving forward with no looking back.
Self doubt is a part of life, but we are so much stronger than we give ourselves credit for.
Believe in your ability to figure things out. You can be confident but still have doubts about your capabilities. You can actually use self doubt as a tool to motivate you to stay driven to go after what you want.
Remind yourself of all the times you have overcome what you didn’t know and keep up the positive self talk. That will put you on the path to genuine self-confidence and learning your way into the strongest you!

Y’all! Can I tell you, I’ve been really struggling!
I have not been myself. Not even close!
Here we are, almost March and this new year 2020 vision has been a complete blur.
I wake up already overwhelmed and lay down feeling defeated more days than not.
I feel the pressure. Pressure to keep up, to keep going, to stay ahead and pressure not to crack under pressure.
I’m a mom. I take care of so many other people, I put me last and haven’t had much left over for me. No wonder I have been so stressed. I have forgotten that I can’t give my best to my family if I don’t take time to breathe and
I was blessed with an advanced reader’s copy of this incredible book and I could NOT put it down. Now, I’m drawing a line in the sand! I am gonna get out of my own way and no more with trying to pour from an empty cup.
No more struggling with reaching my full potential!No more feeling like I self sabotage and no more negative self talk!
I’m back on the road to becoming the best Me!
This book has been a gift that has given me back my footing.
Inspirational, motivational and personal development at it’s best!
❤️

Our family has grown. 🐾
We introduce Bailey Darling 🐶, Luke(6yr) got a Christmas puppy!
She is just as sweet, smart and energetic as they come. We can not wait to watch this relationship flourish and to see that bond between a boy and his dog fully grow ❤️

We don’t get to spend Veterans Day with our hero today, the Army is borrowing him briefly but we are always and forever grateful for all of his selfless sacrifices.

Thank you to all Veterans! Y’all are true heroes.

“A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to
‘The United States of America ‘ for an amount of ‘up to and including my life’.
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.”

Adventures in Wonderland over here! ❤️
Happy Halloween!!

It was bring your mom to cheer practice, 80’s themed night at the gym. Nailed it!! 💪🏻
I so love spending time with this sweet girl. It warms my heart to see her so passionate and dedicated to this sport. She may have put me to work tonight and made me sweat but when she’s happy, I’m happy!! 😍

“We’re all falling short. Yet even though I fail over and over again, I don’t let it deter me. I still wake up every day and try again to become a better version of myself...life shouldn’t overwhelm you at all times. Life isn’t meant to be merely survived—it’s meant to be LIVED.” ~ Rachel Hollis
Yes! Life can be chaotic and stressful. But the beautiful thing is that while circumstances in life may be out of our hands, we have TOTAL control over how we respond to it. ✨
There is no flawless life. It simply doesn’t exist.
If you’re struggling with finding joy or comparing yourself to others, stop! WE ALL fail and we all also have the freedom to choose who we want to be.
We are all just figuring out life together.💕

Day 2 of 100!!
Sore muscles, FULL HEART!! 💗
I’ve already had 2 incredible days with some AMAZING women where we are setting goals, encouraging each other, crushing workouts and working on renewing our mindset.
We are ALL in this together.
We aren’t perfect, by far, but we will make each day count towards our progress. Our goal is to compound 100 days of healthy habits and create a healthy lifestyle!
If you want to achieve something you have never had before then you have to be willing to do something you have never done before!
If you want to make a change you have to make a choice!
So now is your time!

I am so excited to start this new 100 day journey TOMORROW…


100 DAYS TO A HEALTHIER YOU!!!

We have a fabulous tribe committed to doing this together. We will be each other’s support system, encouragement and accountability partners! We have our workouts, our nutrition guide and our journals ready to go!
We will also be incorporating the 100 Days to Brave daily devotional that helps us to find our inner strength and unlock our most courageous self.
Could you benefit from implementing a morning routine?? Is it time that you do something for you?!
You belong here!

Date night ❤️
I can't imagine life without my forever date.
We have the best time together, even when our nights out aren’t fancy, expensive or even planned.
We forget about the stress and responsibilities for a moment and just enjoy each others company!
So, for us, date nights are the perfect solution to get away from the daily grind. A true escape with our best friend that is both fun AND strengthens our marriage.

𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖!
It will completely swallow you up if you let it! Don’t let the stress consume you!
I am totally guilty of letting the long list of “to do’s” overwhelm me and forgetting to embrace the joy.
But I have found that it’s true, laughing is the best medicine! When we laugh we produce endorphins that make us feel good and give us a sense of well-being.
So don’t take life too seriously, watch a funny video, listen to a comedian, be silly and learn to regularly laugh out loud 🤣

It’s OFFICIAL - - I absolutely LOVE all the variety of our brand new fitness program.♥️
Each day brings something new and I have this new found EXCITEMENT that’s been missing in my workouts lately. I know from experience that when I get BORED, the dedication fades and it makes it hard to stay on track.
Today I did Core Inferno and hammered my abs and glutes, yesterday was a fat blasting cardio workout and tomorrow is all about sculpting my arms and shoulders.
And at just 20-30 min each, it makes fitting in fitness with this crazy Summer schedule possible👌🏻
If you’re needing a new routine, are up for a challenge, need a community to support you, and wanting to try something DIFFERENT to keep your dedication & commitment going - give me a ❤️ and I’ll send you all the details!! 🙌🏻

If you were to ask me 3 years ago about my energy levels, they were “I’m functional” at best!
I just thought that was normal until I found the secret that all moms who workout know...
a good workout when your stressed helps mom to be her best!
Trust me on this one!! 👍🏻 Endorphins for the win!!
And it’s especially convenient to be able to get it done without even leaving the house.
I went from grumpy and unmotivated to feeling happy and productive!
So try this MOM HACK!! It totally works!
If an energy and mood boost is something you could use in your life too, comment below and I'll send you a FREE workout to try (in the comfort of your own home) 🙌

Today is the day!! 🎉

I’m so excited to begin a new chapter in my journey and I want you right there along side me doing it too! Let’s succeed together!

My morning mom time is what keeps my sanity. 🔆
It's that little bit of quiet time that I have to myself before everyone wakes up and all the chaos takes over. I've definitely gone back and forth between hitting snooze and jumping out of bed. But getting up always proves worth it!
And I truly believe how I start the day, really determines my mood for the rest of the day. When I can do a little meditation, devotional time, practice gratitude, move my body and get a good sweat in, that's when I feel like a mom on a mission no matter what the day throws at me.
What's your favorite way to start the morning??
I'd love for you to share below...👇👇

Back home with my babies!! ❤️
After such an amazing self discovery weekend in Indy, it sure feels good to be home and ready to jump back into the swing of things!
I am a firm believer in the “absence makes the heart grow fonder” theory. Sometimes, the best way to feel even more thankful for what you have, is to get a break away to focus on you for a few days.

It’s important to take care of both your mind and body. It will pay off in many ways, including:
*Allowing you to take charge of your life and feel good about the choices you make.
*Gaining energy and feeling more fit.
*Improving your physical health.
*Gaining a positive outlook and finding more enjoyment in your life.
*Being a role model for your family and friends.

Any lifestyle change is a “work in progress.” Lasting changes take time. So, begin by setting small goals that are easy to add to your daily life and that you control. Wellness and fitness involve being aware and making healthy choices about nutrition, exercise, and staying positive.

Hey friends! How has Summer break been treating you so far?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

So um, 🤦🏻‍♀️ hey there, from someone who has managed to turn procrastination into a hobby for the past few weeks!!

I think it’s fair to say that SUMMER IS HERE!
I repeat, SUMMER IS HERE! 😳

The days are just flying by and before you know it you’re going to wish you would have followed through on those goals you set for your health and for that summer bod.

Now before you say “oh yeah right, its too late,” and throw in the towel, go binge eat a platter of hot wings followed by some chocolate chip cookies remember…with procrastination, there also comes some hard work to get results in a short amount of time. But it can absolutely be done, one step at a time.

SO...
LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED Y’ALL!!🎉

Don’t worry about setting a goal weight or what your body looks like, just focus on working hard until you feel comfortable in your own skin. Whatever comfortable is for you, go for it! Don’t stop until you can FEEL it! 💪🏻

Ladies, I want to challenge you to follow me on a FOUR-WEEK journey to “a new you for summer!”
And...
YES, we will take a few days off for 4th of July and YES, we will go just one week at a time with different goals to reach by the end of each week so that you feel challenged, but never overwhelmed.
This challenge paired with guidance, a simple daily workout and health tips and you will have no option but to succeed!

Who is all in and ready to get started?! 🙋🏻‍♀️

It doesn’t matter the choices you made last week or yesterday, or even earlier today, start with your next healthy choice! NO MORE “I’LL START TOMORROW”!! Start NOW!

Drink lots of water!
Eat some veggies!
Avoid that junk food!
Move your body!
MAKE YOURSELF PROUD!! 🤗

**Please, like this post or message me if you want to join me and be added in to our free 4wk accountability group! ❤️

Breaking News:
14yrs and still going strong 💕

I’m a few days late but there is no other man on earth that I would rather spend my life with than this incredible hunky hubby of mine!

Here’s to this beautiful marriage and life we’ve created together and to laughing, loving and growing old together!
❤

Remember 🇺🇸 Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Lt. Col. Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr.

Do something NOW that your future self will thank you for!!!

I heard this so many times before it sunk in and I took charge to change my ways. I was closed minded, living in my busy, day to day and my nutrition consisted of whatever was left on the kiddos plates. I didn’t even have time to think about myself in the present tense, let alone my future self...

UNTIL...one day I finally HEARD the negative self talk. And was so disappointed in the miserable person I had become!! And I DID NOT want that!!!

So, I did it. And it’s been 3 YEARS since my first challenge and it started with a Summer Slimdown... that’s exactly what I did!!! BEST DECISION EVER!

And Monday kicks off my FAVORITE CHALLENGE because it’s how I GOT STARTED!!! Do you want to snag a spot? It’s not too late😘 {{shoot me a msg with your email!}}

So here we go! Accountability at its finest! The only way I know how to stick to something, get results and feel better!! SO THANKFUL I took charge and I can confidently say- I’m healthy and happy!!!

I’ll teach you clean eating, quick workouts from home, meal prep the right way and how to get results and love the skin you’re in!

Don't let another summer go by with you hiding under a coverup! Learn to be proud of your body! Take care of yourself and feel confident in your own skin!!!!💕🔥☀️💯💪🏻

Love spending my mornings with this adorable couple and working together on personal development and growth!
Thanks to and for and the !! ❤️

Just got my b***y kicked in a 30min cardio workout with my favorite celebrity trainer and 500 other friends!!

Let’s be honest.
You are a people-pleaser.
And so am I!

We’re all people-pleasers to some small extent.
And that’s okay.

It’s when you try to please EVERYONE that it becomes a problem. Learning to be the real you, to stand up for yourself, to say no when you need to and say YES to your own happiness...
That is the path to living YOUR life fully.

Not everyone will like or love the real you, and that’s just part of life. Because when you stop seeking the approval of others, you’ll find that you never needed it in the first place.

Just let the real you shine. 🌟

Well!!! TODAY IS THE BIG DAY!💕
Release day for The Ultimate Portion Fix!!
And I’m starting my master certification for it too!!
Why is this program so special to me?!!
Because it’s what gave me EVERYTHING needed to take control of my eating nearly three years ago.
THIS IS MY NEXT LAUNCH PROGRAM!! To teach YOU how to use this system and MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU! And YOUR KIDS! Ive taught this to my clients and gotten them results for nearly 3 years!!!
Moderation. Lifestyle. Love of food!!! No deprivation. Just new habits!!
👉🏻Would you like to learn more about this and possibly join me in my test group starting next week?!
Are you in?!!! Message me!

My to do list for today:
Pray. Thank God. Walk in peace. Count my blessings. Love. Work hard. Think positive. Have faith. Be kind. Be healthy. Be happy.❤

Selective memory at its best!!

I also struggle way too often with..
“what did I come in here to get?” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone else?

You have an opportunity to USE your life... Your story, your trials, your beliefs, your God given talents and your heart.
You can help INSPIRE others to live their best life. .
Don't dull your light so that others feel more comfortable! There will always be naysayers and doubters, people hoping you will fall or fail. .
RADIATE your truth unapologetically anyway!!
Because all that matters is that you know that when you do... you are living God's purpose for your life.
