The person behind this blog.

My hope is that I can be real with you. I mean WHO doesn't want the truth!! No sugar coating here !

Me being honest and upfront has had it's moments ... sometimes it's a good thing...other times I shouldn't have made that comment.

But, the point is that you will get the TRUTH and tell you how it is :)

Ok, lets go on with the facts:

I am a stay at home mom to 3 children. Before I became a mother I knew it was something that I yearned and longed for.

I remember telling my husband lets have kids it will be so MUCH fun.. ohh ONLY if I knew what i was giving up and getting into !

 The work, sacrifice and emotional toll that it would take on me. And did I mention the sleepless nights … yup- so true !

My husband and I dated for 1 month and then became engaged -CRAZY!! I know,  I know!

If one of my kids told me they were getting married after dating for 1 month I would scream and call them crazy - WAIT that's what my mom did- HA!

Anyhow, it's been 12 years this June of being married.

We make quite the match. It's kind of like bacon and eggs or cake and ice cream, wait ( think healthy) maybe like … chicken and salad. ( LOL)  U get the point! He's not a talker and I talk to strangers.

I could dance the night away and he would prefer to watch Dancing with the Stars. I love tuna and He would rather sit on a lake fishing for one. U see the the differences… ya it's true what they say opposites DO attract!

But, with any relationship that matters there will be disagreements. And that my friends is what makes the world go round …

Ya ok …ok on to my fitness journey

After giving birth to my 3rd child I was losing weight thru nursing- SCORE !

But, I was far from where I was before. I know they say it takes 9 months to get pregnant and 9 months to lose it. And  I was WAY past the 9 months recovery stage. I was SO ready to feel good about myself.

It was in November 2012 that I remember telling my husband I was really unhappy with my body and how my clothes fit. He listened, gave suggestions and encouraged me to keep at it.

I would get up early and go hop on the treadmill at the small club gym that came with the town homes we rented. It was a nice little set up. I was usually done and I would be walking in the door as my husband was leaving to work.

I felt like I was making progress, well I felt like something was happening, but after 6 months of trying the scale was not budging and my clothes still felt tight.  Still I was frustrated at how no changes were really being made ! ugh I thought !

Exercise has always been a drug to me … BUT a GOOD drug, I craved it and needed it.

Now to emphasis I have never been one obsessed with working out, my body or eating strict meals.

I  enjoyed eating food that made me feel good and knew that when I spent time exercising it allowed me to feel like I could TACKLE  my day.

Fast Fwd …June 2013 

Lots of changes happened between November and June- nutshell my husband lost his job, found a new one and then was offered another job to relocate to Idaho - yay… Sort of.

There were lots of tears and sadness when it came to leaving my loved ones in Californiia. Anyhow, during during my dedication in trying to lose weight I joined a bbootcamp ( getting up at 5 am )  cut sweets, carbs,  and ran in a race.

I tried so  many different things to hopefully get back in shape !! And NADA!

That's when I started to see my sister post on Facebook about the results she was getting with this program. I was eager to try. I was eager to commit.

And I DID !!  And i ACTUALLY saw RESULTS ! !

2013 to the present 

We moved to another state and bought a house. Yup, things got really crazy after I made my purchase of the program ! But, thru all the stress with moving into a house and changing states, I still managed to lose weight!

15 lbs !! Woot woot ! I was SOO excited to finally see progress and see my self in clothes that made me feel great!

It took time!  30 mins of exercise, but it FELT AMAZING !

Did I make changes to my diet ?

Yup, that too ! But, why wouldn't' I ?!

 It fueled me to have more energy and to feel better about myself!

I love the feeling of knowing that I have control of what I can feel like. I hope to help you on your journey as well !!
