When you express to someone that you are on your health & fitness journey for you, to better yourself, 9 times out of 10 they may congratulate or they may ask you questions or they may just say nothing. It’s great to have friends or family approval, however your journey is solely about getting you on track.  Your journey will give you the foundation to grow from, it will help you to become a stronger you, it will help you to become a fighter, a fighter for your life. You will mentally prepare yourself for this journey. You will strive for your greatness. Your Health & Fitness is a mental journey first.

Do you sometimes feel bloated? Your stomach looks like you could be pregnant but you know for a fact that you are not! Well that’s how I use to feel before I started to research why I would feel and look that way. One thing that stood out is that I must start taking better care of my body, which has helped me learn to eat more earth grown foods than processed boxed foods.One of my Favorite Superfoods that I love sharing and telling other woman about is Chia Seed!!!  Chia Seeds are a powerful source of  omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fiber, iron, and calcium.  When I started to add one of my Favorite Superfoods to my Shakeo in the mornings it started to make all the difference when it came to my stomach bloat.
