Being a mom is hard!! Teaching you’re children how to be a good human and love others and themselves is hard! 

The one thing I have realized is you get back what you give. Our children do what we do, act how we act, look at themselves the way we look at ourselves. 

It’s not easy and I am sure I’m screwing up every day, lol. But my children are kind hearted and caring. They enjoy life and they love themselves. 

My youngest is 4 and she has started joining in on my workouts. I love it! She feels strong and she loves learning new moves. 

She is always watching. They all are. We need to be our children’s role models. ​

amazing, at home moms, be happy, cooking, feel good, good advice, laughing, loving, moms, playing, tell your kids, women

I was thinking how it’s crazy that I am 40 years old and I’m only now comfortable in my own skin and with who I am ( at least most of the time 😉)
Why did it take so long?? 

If I could go back and tell my younger self something, it would be, “you are enough, you are beautiful and don’t compare yourself to others” 
What would you tell your younger self??

The “Big Life”

After college, I got a job at an investment company in Downtown Boston. I took the train to work every day. I was proud, because I thought it was what I was “supposed” to do. 
After a few months of very long train rides from Providence to Boston and walking in one too many snow storms I found myself dreading work on Monday mornings. Well, every morning, actually. 

The work I did was tedious, I was just 1 of hundreds. The pay was barely sufficient, and the only thing I liked about the job were the few friends I had made there. 
I would call in sick ( more times than I’d like to admit) and I would drive around beautiful neighborhoods wondering how people could afford to live like this and still enjoy their lives. 
This was the time in my life, about 18 years ago where I started getting this feeling deep in my heart that told me, I was meant to do more. 
As the years passed, I got married, had children and held other jobs, but the feeling in my heart stayed strong, telling me, I was meant to do something more than work in an office 9-5 every day. It just wasn’t what I was here for. But I had no idea what that “other thing” was. 
Tonight I can lay in bed thinking about tomorrow, Monday morning, and I’m happy! Excited even! To check in with my coaches and see how the people In my challenge groups are doing? I love answering their questions and finding out how their weekend went and letting them know, it’s ok if you didn’t get your workouts in!! Today is a new day. 
Most of all, my heart and head are finally at peace. I no longer drive around and wonder how people live these big lives?? Because I now love my own life! I KNOW this is exactly where I belong. It took me 18 years to get here, but it was worth it❤️
If you have that feeling in your heart, telling you, there is something more out there for you, don’t ignore it!! Be open to finding it! It will be worth it!

Be Your Best Friend

Why is it so hard for us to honor our commitments to ourselves. We are good at following through on our commitments to others, our friends, families and children. But when it comes to ourselves, we are quick to give up. 
At least that’s my story. I always start and commit to something like, a fitness plan, organization, healthy eating, skin regimen, and so on, but after a few days/week, I find some excuse to stop. 
Imagine if we let down our family and friends as much as we let ourselves down?? 
Well this week, I didn’t let myself down, and I’m pretty psyched about it! Lol
I stuck to my commitment to do a workout every day, stick to healthy eating and the BIGGEST one for me, NO WINE!😮
Be a good friend to yourself and honor your commitments to yourself. It feels pretty amazing🌟

Day 1 is in the books!

How many times have you started a fitness program and then faded out by week 2? 

I’ve done it way too many times. People always think I just exercise daily and eat well with little effort. NOT!! 

I’m great at coaching others! I love watching people succeed and see how much more they can do that they thought. But I need motivation to do it for myself. 

So I have committed to the 21 Day Fix Program and Shakeology for 21 Days. I have a small group of ladies doing it along side me and I’m feeling really good this time! 

We all need a push sometimes and I’m grateful that I have a group I can lean on to push me while I push them! 

Today was Day 1! I am going to post a pic everyday on here to help keep me that much more accountable! I am determined to lose 10 lbs over the next 20 days. Let’s do this!!

Have you ever driven across town and once you get there, you have little recollection of the drive? 

So many people are just “getting through life”.  Get up every day, go through your morning routine, kids off to school, go to a Job that we may or may not like. Get through the day and then the evening is spent trying to get errands, activities, dinner, homework, laundry done so we can get to bed so we can wake up and do it all over the next day. 

This was me!! I never gave it much thought though. I was always taught, you work, have a family, work some more, fun is limited to days off from work and hope you can make enough money to go on vacation or start saving some money. 

Is this what life is about? Just getting “through” it??  

Now that I have made the realization that there can be so much more, I can’t imagine living any other way. 

You can have the life you “want”!! Really!! You can! Write down what your dream life would be. Then write down what would need to happen for you to have that life. Has anyone else in history been able to do it? If the answer is yes, you can too! 

It’s really that simple! Crazy right!! 

Here’s the catch! You must believe you can make it happen. In your heart! In your mind! 

If that seems out of reach, you need some big time personal development!! Read or listen on audible, “You are a Badass” by Jen Sincero or “Maximum Achievment” by Brian Tracy. 

Just try it!! It could be a little decision that could change your whole life!

Not a priority

As a health and fitness coach I hear the phrase, “I don’t have the time”, every day. 

Being a mom of 3 I know what it’s like to be busy and have every second of your day scheduled. But, within that schedule is, Dentis appt, Shower, brush my teeth, get gas for the car. 

Those things are scheduled in because they are a priority to you. You can’t say, “I just don’t have the time to stop for gas”. Because without it, you won’t get where you’re going anyway! 

Think of your body, like your car, exercise and healthy food is your gas. If you don’t make time to fuel your body, it won’t get you where you want to go. 

So maybe we need to think about exercise and healthy eating in a different way…..

It needs to be a priority
