So What

Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it CAN'T happen. Yes, I'm about to get a little real with ya but it's OK.👌🏼 Because I had to have this convo with myself OVER AND OVER before I realized I was gonna be OHHHH KAYYYYY.

And yes, in my line of work I hear it alllll the time. People talking themselves of great ideas and awesome incredible happy lives....
"...I'm terrible at this."
"....I'm afraid I won't stay motivated."
"....I'm not good at .....(insert anything)."
"....I don't have the time."

Guys, wanna know what I'm NOT good at!?!? PLLLLEENNNTTYYYY OF THINGS. But I'm owning up to the fact that I HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE....and fyi, SO DO YOU!!!!!!

So you had a really tough break up. So did I.
So you come from a broken home. So did I.
So you failed at college. So did I.
So you felt let down bc someone you care about blocked you on social media. Ummmm, yea err' day it happens to me.
So you failed at 3 or more businesses..So did I.
So you struggle with binge eating. So did I.
So you have panic attacks. So did I.
So you have more thumbs down on your YT video than likes. (Ummm, why is that even an option YT!?!? ) Yea, I hear ya on that too....

....and the list goes on.

I'm not saying my life is perfect and truthfully I'm so thankful I didn't have other major struggles some others have, bc yes some people have it WAYYY worse but they are STILL able to pull themselves up, so that gives me (and you) NO EXCUSE to not try!!!!!!

And yes, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I DID NOT let my past dictate my future. In life we eather repeat mistakes, or learn from them. So ask yourself...."How do I get better at______!?!?"

Most likely that THING you aren't good at needs to be practiced, and practiced and practiced. So let yourself FAIL and get back up. AGAIN & AGAIN because life with hope is better than feeling hopeless and out of control. So love yourself by ACTING like it!

What's ONE thing you can do to get yourself healthier, happier or more financially free!?!?!
Stop reading this and GO DO IT!!!!!! And I'm here ya know. There are people out there who GET IT...and we are SO ROOTING FOR YOU TOO💕💕💕

Is It You?

Today was pay day, and in just one week of work it covered the Coach retreat I'm hosting in November!!!!!! 😍😭😍 #howisthisreal

Btw .....I'm Looking for 10 rebels who.....
✴...Most likely dropped out of college also or failed in the past, but isn't about to give up on their dreams.

✴...you don't fit in with the gossip crowd because you know that success and happiness is linked to uplifting others rather than tearing them down.

✴...you aren't t afraid to try new things and be a beginner if it means it could change your life (& others around you) in a huge POSITIVE way.

✴...you LOVE health and fitness and you are usually the "go to" for health advice from your friends.

✴...You might be stuck living paycheck to paycheck and you want....no, you NEED to break that glass ceiling✊🏼

✴...You see the potential in yourself but don't know where to start and maybe a little nervous or afraid to try.

✴...You SO want the freedom of travel and not have to ask for time off from a boss⛱✈🌍

✴ ...You want to feel love and give love to others because community is important and you are so done with those naysayers. ❌❌❌

So is that YOU!? 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Guys, I just booked my next Retreat for OUR team and I can't help but think .....Why are YOU missing out!?!?! Aren't you SO OVER reading about others success!?!? I WAS 5 years ago. I wanted MORE.

Are you!?!?!? #thisisfreedom #fitinfluencer #onlinecoach #imheretohelp

My Tunes!

INSTRUCTORS! I need ur advice!!!! 🙏🙏🙏(Also, Pardon the cray hair) so after about a decade my lil nano has kicked the bucket.😭

I'm thinking about switching to another ipod I have (Thanks Rebeca and Todd for the back ups😘).... but I'm also considering using my ipad so I can connect to Spotify...But does the ZIN APP, play spotify songs?! Or Should I just stick to itunes!?

I can't use my phone bc I record with it....so my android is out. And I REALLY want to be able to crossfade songs, which this old nano could do!!!! Any apps to crossfade songs that you guys use, and do you use spotify, itunes or ZIN APP(Zumba instructors know what I'm talking about) !?!?

Sorry alot of questions. Just curious to see what's the best way to go about this! TIA. 😘😘😘

Guilt Free!

Do you know the difference between guilt free treats and shameful cheats!?!!? Because Bingeing and Emotional eating will always carry regret, embarrassment and feelings of unworthiness but having a guilt free treat is only enjoyable when you DON'T have those issues. Because guys, I get it! And NO being healthy means you don't have to give up certain foods!

TRUE STORY....👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Eddie and I went on a Doritos and Reese's run last night....

Yes, I have cravings too and every so often I go for it. 🤷🏽‍♀️ #reallife But that doesn’t mean I'm not healthy. Ya see that's part of that "20% treats". Today I'm back to getting my gut the nutrients it needs but that wasn't what I would have done in my 20's. Ya see I would weigh myself and if I went over a number then my solution was to starve myself for a day or 2 JUST to make that number go down. I had a very unhealthy relationship with my body and also how I viewed food. I abused my body with over-training and starvation.....Maybe I LOOKED healthy on the outside but the inside was a mess!!!!!!

Five years ago I confronted those issues with a program that helped put me back in control and to be honest the reason I can get back on track is simple. I have the tools now. & this $3.88 superfoods smoothie I make almost everyday is freaking the best investment I've made with my nutrition.

I had finally come to the realization that I couldn’t keep using excuses like "that's too expensive, or "I just don't care because I LOOK fit, that's healthy right?!" or "I'm not jumping on the shake bandwagon, they are just trying to sell me something that doesn't work." .... When I stopped the excuses I had a clear enough mind to find the results and the self love I SO DESPERATELY needed!!!!!

So how bout it!? You don't have to be extreme if you want to live a healthier life, but you need some tools to get you there. Fill out my Virtual Health Club application.

Let's talk about healing your body from the inside out. Because YES your health is important and so is overcoming emotional/binge eating. #igotyoubabe 💕💯

Quirky. Cewl. Hilarious.

I've stepped up the selfie game in case you need to be reminded that I'm a dork and I miss the straw....quite often.👌🏼

And also since were on the subject of embracing this cewlness...... I'd like to know something about YOU that's quirky, cewl, hilarious, happy, strange...anything. let's #embracetheweird
Annnnnd, here's a few of mine.....

1 I'm a college drop out..although I did well in Dance For Sport and Kinesiology....so with that I kinda knew I wanted to get into the Zumba fitness craze 👌🏼

2 I'm super competitive at lazer tag. Like a lot.

3 I'm wayyyy into personal development books (audiobooks only because this girl ain't read wordz good🤣🤷🏽‍♀️)

4 I also love me some video games for when I need to unplug. #borderlands #legodimensions #gearsofwar #spiderman

5 I love to choreograph music with movement (dance, strength, core, all of it) I'm sure you know that by now.

6 I don't really swear, unless it's for comedic purposes. One summer at basketball camp in 6th grade I had a night of swearing and it was hilarious until one girl started crying and I felt SUPER bad about it, so I swore off swearing. And fyi, I'm more than ok when other people do. Seriously I'm not offended!! 🤣

7 I love Jesus and God and ALL people so if your beliefs aren't nice to certain races or sexes or sexual preferences then sorry buuuut we probably shouldn't follow each other 🤷🏽‍♀️#notsorry

8 I would run a marathon only if I could Roller Blade it. If you know of this type of race please keep me informed.

9 I'm a coffee snob. Sorry but only Square One Coffee will be my bae foreva and evaaaaaa 💕

10 I'm pretty proud of who I am and where I am in life and I'm finally ok with knowing I'm not here to be everyones friend. I've finally let go of that people pleasing past self. So if you're still here. Thanks. And if not, thats ok too. 😘👌🏼

I Think...

What kind of life would you be living if you started thinking about things going right, MORE than things going wrong?

I think you might start to appreciate life more.
I think you might start treating yourself better.
I think you might start treating others better.
I think you might gain that confidence you wished you had.
I think you might be able to start and FINISH that goal.
I think you might be happier and healthier.
I think you would find your purpose and pursue it FULLY and unapologetically.

It's never to late to start living the RIGHT way guys. I'm still learning and so so grateful to see this beautiful life as a gift. Because it is. 💕

Believe to Achieve

💕You have to BELIEVE it, before you can ACHIEVE it.💕

So ask yourself...."Do I BELIEVE in myself enough to show up even when I don't feel like it?!?!!" "Do I see myself hitting this specific goal?" "Do I understand that there will be hurdles along the way & do I have the stamina it takes to keep going?!" "Am I doing this for me or the naysayers?" "Am I going to let the negative opinions of others stop me?" "Is my life important enough to me to make this change?" "Do I want this change MORE than I want to stay the same?"

Those were the questions I asked myself before I took my health seriously and got into this business and for realz guys, I was scared beyond belief but one thing stuck out to me ....
You have to BELIEVE it to ACHIEVE it. And I BELIEVED I had the tools before me, I just needed to BELIEVE IN MYSELF.

I'm not saying you have to FEEL ready, I'm saying do you see yourself as achieving your goals or are you not even believing that it's even possible!?!?! Because the difference between people getting this ish done and those that have the same tools but end up quitting is BELIEVING they can do it...and THAT'S IT!

So before you up and buy the new Bowflex, sign up for the gym, go all in with this relationship, join my next challenge group or biz training you MUST ask yourself..... "Do I BELIEVE I can do this?" And f you don't see yourself hitting those goals then STOP. RIGHT.NOW. Dive into some personal development because your mind is the muscle that needs to be worked EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

And those that have that little bit of belief....then what the FLIP are you waiting for!?!?!!?? Get after it!!!! Do you want to look back and think "what if...?!? If its the right thing you must have COURAGE to step outside your comfort zone. #yougotthis

Late-Night Art

When's the last time you stayed up too late creating something fun?!?! Anybody else find creativity at night!?!? I usually do with choreography but felt like painting tonight!!!!!

Today was so fun and after walking around the cute little town of Roanoke and being inspired by art work I told Eddie we need to try to make art together. Turns out we aren't too bad (in my opinion anyway🤷🏽‍♀️). After a trip to Hobby Lobby we came back to the hotel with 24 acrylics, 10 paintbrushes and 5 canvases. 🤣 Eddie already sketched out all 5 ideas we decided on and we went to work. I'm showing ya our 2nd artwork..... Because the other isn't IG worthy🤣 Well it was good practice to say the least.

Hope your weekend has been fun too! Never forget you are never too old to try new things...or try things you think you suck at, because you might surprise yourself. 💕

The Dream Inside You

God wouldn't have put the dream inside of you if He didn't think you could handle it.

Courage is God talking.

Fear is Satan talking.

Who you going to listen to?
