The Beginning of my Fitness Journey...

So in July of 2017 I decided to become a BeachBody Coach, I’m not here to sell anything, just thought I’d start with this to share my fitness journey :) …. I was always kind of the skinny girl…..but let’s just say that since having two kids, picking up some not so healthy habits (like eating a lot and drinking with my buddies, NEVER working out, and simply just being in my 30’s and for some reason only getting older)….it’s taken a toll on me….I was never happy with the way I looked anymore and my shirts were beginning to get tight on my gut…so much so that in the past school year I had three different students ask about the baby in my belly. So I decided to finally do something about it. I joined a workout group called ShiftShop through beachbody (from home – no way would I ever embarrass myself in public at a gym) ….well, I fell in love….in love with the awesome people that go along with it, in love with the shakeology, and in love with working out!....ME- the girl who used to tease when others were being physical, and say “Oh yea, I got my exercise in today…I got the mail” (my driveway is NOT long AT all ;) ). With in a couple weeks I was at an acceptable weight for myself, but I am continuing to work on myself so that I become toned and grow in strength and endurance! I want to continue my life by being and staying in shape mentally and physically. Embarrassing as it is for me to share my belly pics here they are! My Results from only three weeks……
I look forward to the successes, failures, and funny moments along the way--and hope that sharing my story can motivate, encourage, and inspire you too!...I am far from perfect, but commit to sharing the REAL me and REAL moments as I embark on a journey of health and fitness for life!
I DON'T eat all organic, all natural, non GMO, gluten free, hormone free, FLAVOR free food. I do the best I can with what I can and I don't beat myself up over it. I LOOOOVE good food ... My weaknesses are little debbies šŸ˜‹,pasta, pizza and wine. I won't EVER Give them up (well maybe it’s time I grow up and ditch the little debbies šŸ˜‰). I DO eat non processed fresh food however when I'm on track, and of course drink my Shakeology! Who knows….maybe one day I’ll be that hot lady in her fifties with the perfect bod I saw on the beach this past summer while camping….maybe not….but I promise to continue to always be the best ME that I can be!

The WORST day...

Here’s a little story about my oldest daughter, and one of the WORST days of my life….. When she was about 2 and ½ I started having concerns with her hearing.  It seemed the TV was always too loud and I had to say her name a LOT before she heard me….but then again, why would I be too concerned….there is this thing called “selective hearing” and she was just a kid. Who wants to listen to their mom at that age?!?.....Well, at her 3 yr. dr. apt. she didn't quite understand the hearing test, so they said we could just try again at 4 yrs, but just over a month later I realized how bad it had gotten...so I took her into an audiologist..what they found was not good, but VERY rare, so our audiologist thought maybe she did something wrong and so she wanted a second test/opinion….Whatever was happening it seemed urgent….usually you have to make appointments for this kind of stuff and wait weeks to come back in, but she left the room and got another audiologist from the cl

Stephisms...

I am very smart person.  Like not bragging, but I went through college with a 3.98, I’d say that’s pretty good for how much partying I did….Anyway, my point is I am BOOK smart...Like I know a lot about math and science and can figure things out easily…..However, I am NOT common sense smart.  In fact I’ve said some pretty dumb things throughout life….in fact I do it so oftenly that my family and friends have come to call them STEPHISMS.  Here are some examples: →One day I was looking through one of my husband’s hunting magazines (out of peer boredom) and I saw an ad for a spray that made the deer see you in black and white so that you didn’t stand out and you’d blend into your background when hunting.  (Now mind you, you are SUPPOSED to spray this on your clothing before going out hunting).  I look at the ad inquisitively and say, “So how do you get close enough to spray that in the deer’s eyes?” →We’re in Milwaukee driving to visit some friends.  Milwaukee is a ma
