Busy Moms Bikini Bootcamp Support and Accountability Group

HAPPY SUNDAY

WE are literally 30 DAYS AWAY from Memorial Weekend. How crazy is that? As summer is quickly approaching it means we are going to literally have to start uncovering all the bad choices we have made; the late night snacks, the extra drinks. Everything we have been eating will be revealed to the public. From shorts to tank tops, to swimsuits and cover ups; it's almost time!! Are you ready?

Of course you can try and hide it by wearing jeans, or staying inside but who wants to live like that. Especially with KIDS. I am a summer baby (my birthday is June 21st) and for years I have HATED getting ready for summer. Trying on swimsuits, attempting to fit into shorts. I seriously DREADED it every year. For the first time in a LONG time I am super excited about what the summer brings. I am building confidence not only in my body but in myself.

I am on a mission to help other super busy, working, moms of young kids to transform their bodies and their nutrition and get on the path to more confidence, improved body image, and of course energy so you can keep up with the demands of a busy life!!!

You can't use the "I AM TOO BUSY" excuse with me!  There are so many workouts that are under 30 minutes now.  The 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Insanity Max 30, 22 Minute Hard Corps and Hammer and Chisel.  Plus they all come with super easy portion controlled meal plans that are basically fool proof.  When I started my journey I was doing 30-55 minutes of workouts daily and I had to figure out the nutrition all on my own.  You are going to have much faster success than I did for this very reason!!!  

-I have lost OVER 75 lbs with an 8 year old and 2 UNDER 2 AT HOME.

-My husband worked long hours and I was the primary caretaker.

-We didn't have a lot of money to spend on food and exercise programs.

-I wasn't getting much sleep because two small kids don't always have the same sleep schedule.

But, I truly wanted to change more than I wanted to stay the same.  I was WILLING to make some short term sacrifices for long term results!  

Some of you may have been thinking you waited to long. It's already MAY what can you do before the summer. I am here to tell you ALOT. It takes 21 days to build a habit, it will take 4 weeks to start seeing the changes you want, 6 to really see the RESULTS. 

So here is what I am offering FOR YOU:

1.  I want to cut your learning curve with meal planning, healthy recipes, motivation and tips.  

2.  I am going to share with you what I did to lose 75 lbs in 12 months, to create a healthier lifestyle not just for myself but for our family too.

3.  Give you tools to make your workouts a lifestyle change vs a crash diet.

4.  Help you with quick easy, on the go meals and snacks for your busy lifestyle.

5.  Give you sample meal plans to help with the planning.

6.  A place to stay accountable with daily check ins and tips specific to the things that come up in every day life.  How to handle eating out at restaurants, late night cravings, parties, and vacations.

As a soccer, baseball and basketball mom we have a jam packed schedule of after school activities, homework and I still run a full time business.  This momma has to plan her time wisely!  So let me help you! From one mom to another... lets get our butts in gear and crush it!!

We have to STOP using our kids as an EXCUSE. They have got to be the REASON we want to be better. The REASON we want to SUCCEED. Starting on May 9th my BUSY MOMS BIKINI Bootcamp will be starting. This group will take place on the newest challenge tracker app which you join through me as your coach.  I will match you up with a fitness program and nutrition plan that meets your needs.  We will set realistic and achievable goals and together we will set out to take it 1 day at a time and change your old habits into newer and healthier ones!!!

So if this sounds like something you would like to do the next step is to complete the application below.  This will help me to make personalized recommendations based on your needs and wants.

**Note if you already work actively with a coach please do not apply. This is for my new and current customers only.

My goal is to give you the tools and the support you need to have an awesome, confident and energized summer!  

Are you in??  Lets do this together!  I want to help you take control of YOU and live life to the fullest.

The a Walls of Jericho

How many of you have ever felt like you were in such a place of refuge with no place to turn? You may be in the deepest of dark nights and can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is my journey in all of its rawness. 

I am a woman of God but that does not always mean I have been the most faithful of women. I grew up in the church; Sunday schools, Wednesday night bible studies, I was baptisied when I made the decision to be. But somewhere along the way I lost my faith. Maybe it was after I struggled with an eating disorder, maybe it was after I lost my grandma to cancer, maybe it was after I got pregnant as a young single 21 year old college student who's parents weren't thrilled with situation she had put herself in, maybe it was after the depression, the anxiety, maybe it was after the failed relationships, maybe it was after all the cheating, maybe it was after all the failed friendships, maybe it was after she moved 500 miles away from her family with a child on her own trying to make it work, maybe it was after she had to repeatedly ask her parents for help because she just couldn't do it, maybe it was after she got pregnant unwed again, maybe it was after that baby had open heart surgery, maybe, maybe, maybe somewhere she JUST lost faith. 

For years I have had this emptiness inside of me that I just felt like I was missing something, yes I've always known God was there and of course I prayed. BUT had I really been obedient in my faith, in truly TRUSTING and KNOWING that he would not forsake me. I am realizing now so many years later; that emptiness I was yearning for, that void I was constantly trying to fill, was ALREADY THERE. I just wasn't looking in the right places. So often times we rely on the flesh to fill our needs when it's the faith that is going to get us to where we need to be.

For several weeks now I have been feeling lost, not really sure why,  not understanding what was going on. Thoughts of doubt, depression, anxiety sloooooowly started to make their way back into my life. I felt like I wasn't living up to some fictitious picture I had in my mind. This person I thought I should be I didn't feel like I had become. The best wife, the best mother, the best coach, the best daughter, the best ME. For those that know me; know I am pretty hard on myself and can truly be a pretty tough critic. But again I felt like that piece of the puzzle was missing. So I've been searching and searching; I started pouring back into my faith; I started seeking out fellowship in a church home something I hadn't done in YEARS. I started reading my bible and talking to God but still it wasn't there and I was feeling like I was closed off. One thing after another, after another, after another he continued to show me that HE was the answer. 

First it was me reading completely "The Purpose Driven Life" and realizing that I was truly put on this earth to make a difference and to fulfill a bigger role. Then it was the argument with my husband and I don't mean tit for tat "oh you didn't take out the trash" I mean screaming to the fullest at a breaking point; something I vowed would NEVER happen with us and it wasn't even that serious in the first place. It wasn't shortly after that happened "The War Room" appeared in my life. If this hasn't made it on to your TV screen yet do yourself a favor and GO WATCH IT. You won't regret; seriously changed my life. 

Then it was a life changing out of body experience on a cruise something that never should have even happened; then it was the sermons at church that just kept hitting EVERY. SINGLE. EVENT. happening in my life. Then it was some very, very trivial things within our family; things we braved and weathered and MADE IT THROUGH. I KNEW he was talking to me, trying to get me to see his presence; yet still I turned him away thinking I could do it all on my own. 

I came home from that cruise; this miraculous thing that HE ALLLOWED to happen and I was dejected, I felt lost and just couldn't understand why. Here I was on this amazing journey, that He made possible yet doubting EVERYTHING about myself. My purpose, my ability to reach others, I felt like I was missing something, the pieces just didn't add up. I was pouring into my bible study, I was writing out my prayers and talking more with God, I was going to church but it just wasn't there. 

I am a very type A personality and I feel the need to control EVERYTHING. It's in my DNA it's just who I am. The problem with that is that I AM NOT MEANT to control everything. I was sitting here tonight and after I had already debated on attending a women's group tomorrow (something I haven't done since I was in High School) when I decided to do a bit more research; I decided to pop open our churches women's page and it just so happened that the current bible study was online and so I started listening. It was like it was meant exactly for me. EVERY. SINGLE. THING. she was saying was like writing my life story. 

I know that God has been giving my some Jordan experiences. He's been showing me that he is faithful BUT it wasn't so that I could boast about how awesome I am or the amazing skills I possess. It was so that I could give ALL the glory to him. But not ONLY that he was preparing me for the walls of Jericho. You see we ALL have the battle of Jerichos in our life; that fight that you are in, the struggle, the battle, the addiction WHATEVER IT IS. He has already proclaimed the victory for it. The BATTLE HAS BEEN WON. The problem lies in the fact that you STILL HAVE TO FIGHT the good fight. You have to walk by faith, in obedience knowing that the victory will come. But it's when we are trying to do our own things that we sometimes never get to see THAT victory. 

As I sit here; typing this out; exhausted from lack of sleep, I finally FEEL FREE, I am in my battle of Jericho and while it's going to be tough and I will have to fight I KNOW that he will bring the walls down and that VICTORY is near. I KNOW that I am meant to live BOLDLY, I am meant to CONQUOR and that I am meant for GREATNESS and so are YOU. My purpose in this life is to live for him and to mentor you to do the same thing. 

I don't know who I am talking to tonight, but I know I'm talking to somebody. Clearly I don't blog, or haven't been great at it but God put it on my heart to bare my soul and that's exactly what I am doing. I want you to know that no matter where you are it; whether you are sitting in your Jordan experience and seeing his faithfulness or you are in the fight of Jericho; the victory has already been WON. If you need someone to talk with, or feel compelled to share your story with me, no mater where you are in your journey. Reach out to me and I would love to talk with you. You are NOT ALONE!
