Sweat Smile Repeat

Hi I’m Courtney 👋🏼 and...

I bought this hat just because I was pulling weeds and planting flowers today.

I bought flowers, herbs, and vegetable plants because I decided to test out if I have a green thumb or not.

I was using a bucket with a hole in it to fill up Piper’s doggy pool and then had to use my garbage can.

I called my dad and asked him to drop off some hard seltzer’s on his way him from the grocery store (my dad is the real mvp).

I’m going to my parents house for a cookout later because us Eversons loving grilling season!

It has been a really good day so far 🌞 just a reminder to show up as yourself because that’s good enough and try not to get lost in who you think social media wants you to be.

Happy Sunday friends!

When we reach our goals, eventually they will become our new normal.

Working out wasn’t always my normal.

Making healthier food choices wasn’t always my normal.

I decided to make those things a priority in my life and they became my new normal and that’s when I saw results.

Want results? The decision is YOURS!

Wishing for it vs. Working for it

For anyone who needs to hear it...

It’s okay to eat the pizza.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s also ok to eat a healthier alternative. It doesn’t mean your scared of carbs. It doesn’t mean you’re restricting. It doesn’t mean you’re on a diet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tonight’s 🍕: whole wheat tortilla, Rao’s pizza sauce, Italian sausage, turkey pepperoni, red peppers, green peppers, banana peppers, and mozzarella cheese.

Happy WEEKEND! 👏🏼 today has been a good day so far!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Started my morning with some personal development reading, cleaned around the house, got my workout in, and now I’m playing with Piper at the dog park and enjoying the ☀️

What are your weekend plans?!

Messy room, shirt needs to be lint rolled, but the sun is shining and I have some serious cabin fever over here🌸🌼

Buffalo Chicken Dip:
(2) 12.5 oz can chicken breast
(1) 8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Sauce
1/2 cup ranch
1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Mix together & top with more cheese, in Wisconsin the more the merrier 🧀

Today we asked the women inside our online accountability group for the new workout program to share their results and how they’re feeling so far and here’s some of their responses (see pictures).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
THESE WOMEN ARE AMAZING 👏🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These groups have been a positive, supportive, motivating, and judgement free place where I have shared my journey now for 3 years. Now I help other women get started in these groups (just like I did in 2018) and we work on our health and wellness alongside each other 🤍

Bride friends your help is needed! 👰🏼💍

We postponed our 7/25/20 wedding to 7/17/21 and I feel like I’m in this weird lull of wedding planning since I had a majority of the planning done before...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. What are small details easily missed in the planning process?
2. What are some wedding dos and dont’s?
3. What did you do for your bachelorette party?
4. What are some ways to keep wedding costs down?
5. If you’re already married is there anything you would change or do differently?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks in advance! 💓

I highly recommend a puppy for a lunch date 🐶

Meet my brother’s new puppy who is also Piper’s little brother!

Life Update: it’s been two weeks since I lost my taste and smell (it feels like forever).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Desperate to do anything to get it back I turned to the advice of a 15 year old and TikTok and tried the burnt orange remedy 🍊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did it work? Nope.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s to waiting (not so) patiently for it to come back on its own time.

January 15, 2018 I started a brand new workout program and joined my first accountability group. I learned about the portion control meal plan and it’s was surprisingly easy to follow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The workout program was 13 weeks and I didn’t finish in the 13 weeks. I didn’t workout everyday. I didn’t follow the meal plan 100%, but I ate healthier more days than not. I checked into the daily accountability posts inside the group and found motivation and support from the other women in the group.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I ended up losing 10 lbs and 13.5 inches and it was the first time I had been consistent. I saw the value of these programs and this community and I knew it could help other women too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, I help other women do the same inside my accountability groups. My best friend joined me a few years ago and she lost 40+ lbs following the same programs, she even followed them throughout TWO of her pregnancies. These are her results from the same program I started with!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No matter where you are on your journey, what your fitness level is, what your goals are, or if you’ve started and quit 100+ times, all are welcome inside my groups! The groups are on Facebook and it’s a private, judgement free, positive environment to share your journey. If you’re interested in joining us in February just fill out the interest form in the link below! 💌

Oh hey there! 👋🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m baaacckkk! I’m not 100% but I’m feeling better than I was this time last week and that’s progress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I worked out this morning for the first time in 9 days, which is the longest I’ve gone without working out for I don’t even know how long. I modified, took breaks, pressed pause, and listened to my body, but that movement felt GOOD!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working out has become a vital part of my day and not being able to has had me feeling all sorts of off on top of being sick. I plan on easing back into things but it feels good to get back into my normal routine again✨

Things I want to do more of in 2021: bake & eat chocolate chip cookies 🍪

Things I want to do less of in 2021: worry about eating chocolate chip cookies

Hear me out for a second...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if we stopped waiting for motivation or the right inspiration to get started, and we just did it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think of where you could be tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year if you got started now...

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! 🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you prefer Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? I like BOTH! 🎅🏼 let me know some of your favorite Christmas traditions!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We normally celebrate Christmas Eve in the afternoon with Kyle’s family followed by church service at night with my family. We have appetizers, play games, and watch a Christmas movie (it was the Santa Clause every year for a long time). Any suggestions for a movie this year would be appreciated!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m off Christmas this year but shoutout to all of you who are working this holiday season, thank you all so much! ♥️ I know it’s not easy being away from loved ones but you’re SO APPRECIATED!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay safe & healthy this holiday season everyone!

Things you can control:

No, it’s not takeout 💁🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nor is it healthy, but it’s delicious.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been trying new recipes and this is probably one of my new favorites. My kitchen was messy afterwards but it was worth it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe for the sweet and sour chicken recipe 👉🏼

FA-LA-LA 🎄
