Make today your day 1

Mondays,
A fresh start, new week, the inevitable day 1. 

Today is day 1 for my new boot camp. && It always excites me to kick off a new boot camp because of the energy and hope my challengers show up with. They commit to joining with their heart set on crushing their goals. They are excited, full of energy, not sure what to expect but ready to try their hardest. They want to be healthier, happier and more confident.

The BEST part about my job is giving others the opportunity to do something for themselves.
I love seeing them PROUD. Sharing their sweaty selfies, saving no to junk food. Smiling because for the first time in forever they did something for them. 

You see, these small acts. They are HUGE acts of courage. Facing your life and deciding you want to change, that is hard. It means you have to overcome old habits and create new ones. 
Often our biggest struggle isn't that we aren't capable. Its that we don't believe in ourselves yet. 

To get to the end goal, it takes hundreds of hard decisions.
Choosing water over soda.
Waking up earlier to start your day.
Pushing play on a workout instead of bingeing on netflix at the end of a crazy, stressful day after you put the kids to sleep. 
Reading 10 pages of an educational book versus scrolling social media. 
Choosing to say no to fast food, skipping the starbucks.
Those aren't easy choices.
But making the hard choice will get you one step closer to that goal you want to accomplish. Over time, every decision you make adds up. It wont be today you see the results, but 3 months from now you'll see your hard work paying off. 

Maybe you have a big goal on your heart.
Something you've been wanting to do. Don't wait for Monday. TAKE ACTION NOW! 

A day of the week wont be the thing that makes the difference. You make the difference. What you do is what creates your future. And that is a matter of your choice in this moment.

I know, its hard. But is it harder than looking back on your life regretting?
If you want something, I'm here to tell you, go after it. Stop doubting yourself, stop waiting for the perfect time. There is no perfect time.
Set a goal and get shit done.
When you're willing to work your ass off for that thing you want to accomplish, girl you're unstoppable.
Dig into what you want to accomplish & why you want it. When the vision or the goal is so close to your heart, then you are willing show up no matter what. 

So let me ask, what is that big hairy scary goal you have? The one that makes your eyes big, your heart beat faster, that seems damn near impossible. I want to know & hold you accountable to it.

Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips. Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that. A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other. && everyday your marriage can get better. I look back on the day I married my husband and never thought I could love him more, but here I am today with a heart so full. Each day that loves grows. Some days I want to punch him in the throat. Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other. We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us. If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give ...

No Bake Super Cookie

Anyone else struggle with after school snacks? My kids, they LOVE junk. They walk in the door begging for candy, chips, cookies. All the things they don't need. I've made it a mission of mine to provide them healthy options when they get home. Today we are mixing up an old favorite &&& we even put a spin on it! No Bake Cookies, make with my supershake (Shakeology). We did vanilla & chocolate because my oldest is just like me; NOT a chocolate eater. So he has peanut butter flavor. These boys are gonna go nutsssss for these. I LOVE this option because its sweet, so to them its a treat. But it has the vitamins and nutrients from my supershake to help fuel their body (it acts like 7 salads) so #momwin I don't feel guilty packing this in their lunch, letting them grab a couple as they run and play. No Bake Super Cookie Ingredients: 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology OR vanilla Shakeology 1 cup oats 1 cup Peanut Butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup coconut o...

Turkey Run Start Park

This weekend we decided to get away for the day. Our family needed an unplugged day outside with each other. Honestly we have only hiked together a few times because, well kids. Its hard with 3 littles all so close in age. When one wants carried, they ALL want carried. With summer coming to an end I'm making it a goal to get outdoors before it's too cold. Anyways, we decided to go for it. It was a drive for us, but came prepared. We packed extra outfits for the boys along with food for lunch. If you're like me, you're all for saving money so here is what we had! We  prepped a cooler with fruit, tortillas, lunch meat -- specifically chicken and pepperonis-- cheese, crackers, carrots, raisins; just things that are simple, easy & we can take on the go. PLUS lots and lots of water. In the map we weren't sure where to plug in our GPS so we stopped by the camp store before we  went too far and the cashier was sooo helpful. The shop was awesome. In front o...
