Yessssssss!!!.

I had so many excuses before I started and after hearing some of them here recently...I wanted to provide a different perspective...a different mindset...a different thought process and hopefully it might help ya!

Excuse: I don't think I am physically able to exercise....how can you help me?!

My response: Well we can baby step it....focus on nutrition and water FIRST and get that under your belt because our nutrition programs are very educational and amazing! When you are ready we can sprinkle in workouts or even just walking! I met you where YOU ARE!

Excuse....What if I fail?

My response: What if you don't? How freaking amazing would it be to hit those goals...feel great in your skin and finally see success!?!

Your mindset is off...we can work on that together....I want you to see your potential...because if you feel like you have tried everything...you haven't tried this with ME, THESE TOOLS, AND OUR FIT FAMILY!

You aren't alone in this journey. I offer daily accountability...an app that tracks it all for you and I check in with you often!!. Important thing is that you show up in our group to get the love, motivation, and support you need!

Excuse....I like diet pills and quick fixes because it is easy and I don't have to work hard! (This one kills my soul my friend)

My response: So how is that working out for you?!! Do you realize when stop taking those things you have learned nothing about actual good health habits...how to eat right and move your body for more energy??

Nope...you didn't gain anything by becoming dependent on them and most of the time they tell you to clean up your nutrition anyways because those pills and drinks aren't as effective as they should be without it...what a shit show #truth

Ummm how about you save yourself some money and actually educate yourself with our nutrition programs that were created by RDN's and super trainers and that way...you get to the root of the issue...fix your habits and change your life....for good!! None of this yo-yo dieting stuff!

Save your money for the new clothes you are going to be buying!

You won't get bored with a fitness program with over 85 to choose from and with hundreds upon hundreds of recipes and plans you are gonna be way more successful in the long term! I can guarantee you that!

Excuse : I don't have time to workout!

My response: How much scrolling and TV you watch!?! . If you sit for 30 min...you can get a workout in. Mornings are best before the crazy day starts and you took care of yourself FIRST THING!! This feels great...this makes you feel amazing and Energized for the day!! Trust me if binge watch shows for hours upon hours you can fit in a 30 minute workout!

When I share these excuses...these were mine 10+ years ago...trust me...been there done that...feeling much better for not letting those excuses hold me back from my greatness today!

You got one I didn't cover!?

Comment below and let me help your perspective and what is holding you back!

What does healthy mean to you??

To me, it means being able to get down and play with Shawn without having to struggle to get back up. Keeping up with him is now fun...not an "OH NO....can I handle this situation if he gets away from me!?!" Your children don't stay little forever...despite if we want them too or not! LOL

It means fitting in clothes that I would otherwise never try AND being confident in them!

It means going out of my comfort zone to do workouts that I would never attempt because in my mind I didn't think I could do it BUT NOW I am crushing them with heavier weights than I ever thought was possible.

It means having my blood sugar regulated and not getting blackouts! Controlling my health without medication is AMAZING!

It means my endurance and stamina have greatly improved and I haven't felt this great in years!

It means having great digestive health now...before it was just plain scary with all the complications I was having with my diverticulosis.

It means making healthier food choices...instead of high sodium frozen dinners, pizza, pop tarts, and cans of soup FOR veggies, fruit, healthy fats and carbs, and lean meats... No skipping food groups!!!!

When you incorporate proper nutrition and exercise into your lifestyle you will see changes...it is that simple. You have to be willing to accept change and know it doesn't happen overnight and to be patient with the process.

Doing fad diets only hinder your success and doesn't bring anything full circle. You are right back where you started and you end up feeling defeated. Having this program has taught me so many things...carbs are not a bad thing if done properly. I can eat healthy food that tastes great and isn't bland. Exercise helps your body, it isn't a punishment! I actually enjoy doing it now!!

You can have a healthy treat, such as Shakeology, and feel like you have never felt before, with the healthiest meal of the day, how could you not feel awesome?

So see all things start from within...your mind has to be willing to ALLOW yourself to be awesome...because guess what? YOU FREAKIN DESERVE IT!! When you allow it...then you can embrace how truly awesome you are! Pretty cool uh?
