A Radiant Summer

Sure, your Summer is probably already loaded with fun family activities; you're thinking you can't take on one more thing, I get it. What if I told you that I've found this healthy lifestyle even more doable, needed, and rewarding when I'm more busy?? 

To have more energy, to feel more confident, and to thrive through the Summer changed everything in the hot Orlando summer! I just opened up 2 more spots in my July health accountability group, if you're ready! Just email me and let's chat about your goals, here. 

Fastpass Fuel

This morning, when I drank my Shakeology for breakfast, I couldn't help but think about the last few days that I've spent with some adorable toddlers. I NOW have a small understanding as to why my mama friends who are in my challenge groups appreciate the simplicity of a meal as a shake. 

I never thought I'd be the shake meal-replacement type of person; in fact, this piece was the reason I was SO hesitant to dive into coaching.

....until I read and understood the ingredients and how incredible they are. 

The ingredients that provide energy in Shakeology are: 

green tea extract

B vitamins

protein

moringa

wheat grass

oat grass

My favorite place to enjoy these superfoods is Disney because it's WAY cheaper than a meal at Disney and in that hot Florida sun, it's the perfect treat to fuel yourself for energy AND avoid Chocolate Mickey Ears and Pineapple Dole Whips!

I'll be writing up a post about how I eat clean at Disney World + Disneyland....that's been a long time coming! Be on the lookout!

I'm sitting here in a coffee shop before church doing some coaching work in Charlotte. 

Right next to me, is a family talking about which Fastpasses they're getting for their upcoming Disney trip. 

2 years ago, on a Sunday morning, you would've found me at work, working for Disney....every Sunday morning...creating Fastpasses for guests. 

I can't tell you how grateful I am that I don't have to work Sundays anymore, and I can enjoy church and spend time with our community. 

I'm so grateful for this life by design.

If your food has a TV commercial...

I used to think this way. 

As I saw this sign, I was reminded of when I started on this journey.... I remember having so much on my plate between work and college and trying, trying so hard to feel comfortable in my skin. 

You see, we got married young, I want a typical college student. I was working a full time job, was in school full time, and just trying to survive. The stress of hours spent at the gym at 11pm was only counteracted by my best friend pushing me to get to the gym. 

Fast forward a few years and my friend moved and I didn't have support anymore that I needed. 

I kept seeing my coach share her incredible results + a transformation of coming out of a blur from just recently becoming a mom. After months of watching her journey, I contacted her. She said to join an accountability group with her, I'd have to try Shakeology. I had seen the informercials. I wasn't interested. At. All. After about 3 months, I finally did some research: this wouldn't just help me lose weight but help with anxiety, energy levels, and replace my vitamins. Surely, if this is true, I can at least try it. I did and that was 2 years ago. It's the combination of working out + eating right + superfoods that have kept up my lifestyle but have transformed my health (and my husband's) from the inside out. So this is the one thing that I'd say, go ahead, watch that commercial and believe those testimonies you see, because I'm one of them.

Mid Year Reflection

It's June...can you believe it? On January 1st, we all set big goals, resolutions, hopes and dreams for the upcoming year. Maybe you've set up plans and those things are coming to fruition....or perhaps some things have fallen to the wayside. Either way, why don't we reflect and think about how the next six months can be even better than the last? What are you going to do with the rest of 2016? 

I'm committing to more sleep, more self-care, more grace, more dialed in nutrition, more happiness, and more giving of love. 

Every month, I run challenge groups online that don't just focus on nutrition + exercise, but also self-love and confidence. If you're wanting to begin a new resolution (yes, mid way through the year) be weird with me, why don't you?

I only run these groups and care for the beautiful souls in them because I have these groups to thank for a transformation in my own life. I want to pay it forward (plus, it's daily accountability continuously for me too)!
