Every damn day... Just DO it.

People ask me all the time how I stay motivated...

HOW DO YOU DO IT?!

All.The.Time.

At least a couple times a day.

And I am okay with the questions I truly am!

I love your questions, your heart to heart emails, etc.

When I weighed in at 265 pounds the day I delivered Payton that truly was my own personal rock bottom...

I knew from that moment that I no longer wanted to be this unhealthy person for myself or for my family.

So I started small.

Baby steps...

I watched what I ate and I started to drink more water.

The first 50 came off pretty easily and I was feeling really well!

Obviously when you see results and you see them quickly it's easy to keep your head in the game.

I even managed to lose weight during the holidays for the first time ever.

And then the feared plateau crept up on my after January of last year.

I hit my 100 pounds lost and then it stalled.

I could not lose anymore and decided I guess it was time I get on the fit train and start working out.

So I joined the gym at work.

And then I stalled...

I was still going to the gym BUT I was eating all things craptastic.

All the time.

And wondering why I gained 20 pounds back in just a short couple of months.

And then in July I entered a weight loss competition and decided that I was done doing the yo yo thing and I had worked entirely to hard thus far to give up.

So when I started in July I weighed 182...

When I finished in September I weighed 167.

More than the weight though I managed to gain a confidence I never knew I had, found a true love for the gym, and was eating so much better.

This morning I had a Reese Egg for breakfast...

But I truly believe that everything in moderation here people.

Depriving myself of things I truly enjoy will and would never work for me.

Not all agree.

I eat 80/90 percent clean and I am working out at least five days a week.

I have found a love for lifting weights and I cannot believe how much a difference I already notice in my body.

I stay motivated for myself so that I can truly be the best version of me all the time.

I stay motivated for my Husband because he deserves a strong, confident, and sexy wife...

{Fun Fact:  I am in better shape and over thirty pounds lighter now than when we first met}

I do it for my girls to set a healthy example of the lives I hope they want to aspire to lead.

I stay motivated for all of you, yes you!

Y'all have no idea how amazing you truly are and there have been many days where I just haven't felt like it ya know?

But then I think to myself...

If they are getting up and doing it then so can I!

I truly love this blog.

I truly love where my life is going.

I never thought I would truly be living my dream and that is to inspire others.

To truly help them see the most awesome parts of themselves and get them to where a place they only once dreamed of being.

I feel like I am a good motivation for others because I have been there and done that.

All of it.

I have binged, I have starved myself, I have purged, I have emotionally ate, I have tried every diet pill/drink/device you can think of.

I CAN RELATE!

But I know this...

If I can work full time, be married, have three girls, a fur pup, and still find time for me to workout/eat right/etc. then YOU can, too!

It sounds so simple and it really is...
