I am really embracing my portion containers from my Beachbody program, I never realized how overfed I truly was. I remember how I would just eye everything I would consume and thinking back on it that was definitely not the right way to go. My portions were definitely over scaled which made my body overweight. I always would beat myself up knowing I wasn't losing the weight and I would always feel bloated and uncomfortable,

I had to make a change, I had to be the one to say enough was enough and take action in my life. I am 38 years old and soon to be 39 and I would always set a goal to be this weight by the time I turned a certain age, and what would happen that age would come and boom the weight was still there. Can you imagine that I did this a number of times in my life and failed each year, all because I never took my health seriously.. I am so proud of myself that now I have taken action. Trust me this is not a easy task but with time it gets better all because I am training my mind to want to be more healthier, more fitter, to make better food choices

So this year in November I will be 39 years old and thus far I have lost a total of 20 lbs and I do not plan on stopping. For me its not about the number on the scale, its about how I feel inside and what I see when I look in the mirror. I always tell my kids if you can look yourself in the mirror and be happy with who you are than that's all that matters. So now I can honestly look myself in the mirror and I am starting to absolutely love and adore the female that is staring back.

This is my Journey

Your Inner Beliefs Becomes Your Reality

I use to wonder why I couldn’t push through. I would literally start a project and when I was almost to the finish line. I would give up.  Have you ever been there before?  Well, that was me. I knew that in my heart, I deserved more. I desired more. I wanted to be the best possible version of myself for myself. I would read all the guru books, listen to all the audiobooks, watch all the YouTube videos that promised me I could be anything but only if I believed.  The saying is definitely true. You are what you think about. Just as you are what you eat. I had to stop the self sabotaging of my own belief system. I had to stop making excuses as to why I couldn’t achieve a thing. The hardest thing about becoming your best self is to never stop!  You have to show up for you mentally every single day, even on the days when you don’t want to. I had the inner belief that I wasn’t good enough or deserving of greatness because I allowed my fears of the unknown to hinder me from pushing myself thr
