No Shortcuts
Friends, there's no shortcuts to life. I don't have confidence bc one day I decided to have it. This journey was a long strenuous one full of heart ache from divorced families, toxic relationships, eating disorders & panic attacks. I know some people look at me and think this is easy. But it's NOT. I HAD TO FIGHT TO BE WHERE I AM.....and I'm freaking proud to say....I'M NOT QUITTING ON MYSELF...EVER AGAIN.
And no, I don't so this for my body. The results are a by-product. Instead I do this for my mindset....to prove to MYSELF that I am the type of person who is true to their word. If I say I CAN'T do something I have to really think..."am I really NOT CAPABLE or am I just saying "I don't want to" 💁🏽♀️ What's the REAL truth here?
So, I ask myself....
"Is this something to better my situation or worsen it?" And if it's going to benefit me then WHY am I choosing to NOT do this?
I am the ONLY one in control of my decisions and I will not blame others or situations.
No one is coming to save me and tell me(or make me) do this. I am an adult...so why act like I'm expecting a parent to come do this for me?
I have 2 choices...either fight for excuses and stay stuck or I will use those excuses to push harder....because if I don't my life will become harder day after day...and that's the facts.
So I urge you to ask yourself....
"Am I choosing wisely in THIS MOMENT right NOW....or am I looking for the easy way out? ....and "in what way can I take better care of me?
And go do it.
You will create MORE energy to create a happier healthier and more loving life. And yes. That's always worth it. Because YOU are always worth it. 💕
Take the Leap
"I’m tired of reading about the achievements of better men."....a quote Samwell Tarly said from GOT. ..every now and then that quote sticks out to me because that was SO ME.
I was so sick and tired of seeing others’ accomplishments because it made ME feel guilty for not accomplishing those same things. Until it hit me...."maybe THEY have something to teach me...if I'm open enough to learning....maybe my story would be different."
6 years ago I jumped into Online Coaching with hopes that I would someday be EXACTLY where I am today.
There are BIG decisions followed by BIG moments in your life that only happen because YOU JUMPED IN & you did NOT let one more day go by....you decided your story towards a better life begins NOW.
Take the leap, learn from mistakes, fall in love with who you are and who you are becoming. Life is truly beautiful when you realize you DO have what it takes....so show up babe. You are SO SO worth it. And if you need guidance with health, finances and mindset...I'm here to pay it forward just like my mentors taught me. 💕
July 21st
JULY 21ST is a happy day for us.💕
Yup, first date in June 2007, July 21st he proposed (see pics👌🏼) and October we were married.(2007)
Some people call that cray, but to me it's called REAL love. We both came from childhoods where miscommunication was the norm so for us, we NEEDED something different and we don't believe in our past telling our future. To us, we believe in the PRESENT DAY and we know that to stay in love we choose it and show it through our actions.
We never assume the other is going to do something because we expect it. Instead, we treat each other the way we want to be loved...and not in just one love language....ALL.OF.THEM.
Of course we have had a few arguments bc life isn't all rainbows and unicorn poop 🌈🦄💩 But we choose to talk through the struggles and make sure we are both heard and loved through it rather than let resentment and blame become our marriage.
We play games together. We support each others dreams. We chat over coffee. We forgive easily and NEVER put each other down, to ourselves or in front others.
I share that to say, marriage can & should be be amazing. Just talk about what you need and be the bestest friend they could ask for.
There's a few things I'm truly proud of in my life and my marriage to Eddie is at the top of that list. Love you Ed Placencia 💕 and always will 💕
Finally the Painting
In case you thought my whole life was sweating....its also drywalling, mudding and now painting 😂✌I never thought I would be so happy to get to the painting portion of this. I'm not even sure what week this is, but I'm thankful for a schedule that allows me to help out when I can.
For those of you who have asked if this is my basement, no it's not. A few of us have volunteered to help a friend out while she's fighting cancer. If you can, please send a prayer. Her name is Christa and she is one tough, strong, kind and beautiful woman.💕💕💕 #christashomeproject

Thank You, Beachbody
Today we would have worked out on the streets of New Orleans and set another world record for people working out - outside together (and eating a beignet after) ....But we are home, pushing play and STILL showing up because we know the importance of community and friendships and getting healthy TOGETHER.
I became a Coach because this company truly cares for its community & I am PROUD to be a Coach.
I only doubted joining for 2 years because of the lack of faith I had in myself to be successful.
...But over the years I've gained the confidence in myself and I am passionate because I have found my purpose. Thank you Beachbody. Thank you @carldaikeler for this opportunity and the community you built is truly inspiring. I will continue to show up, push play on a program, follow the nutrition system (80%😂👌🏼) for myself and to show others that YES, they can become a Leader of their health & if wanting to build this as business too, I will prove that it's possible too. BECAUSE IT IS. 💕💕💕 #ificandoitsocanyou #bettertogetherweek #coachsummit2020
Looking Back
The only time to look back.....to check out the booty gainz
If you want to move forward(rather than sliding back) you MUST take the chances and opportunities you have been missing out on. So THIS is your reminder. Don't let one more day pass without doing something that WILL support your dreams and goals. I believe in you. I support you. YOU GOT THIS
Self Love and Shame
Self Love & Shame can't be in the same room.
I know some people knock on "self love" and tbh.....so did I. Ya see I was thinking self love was all about "look at what IIII'MMM doing for myself... aren't I SOOOOOOOO great!?!"
Listen, I thought "these" people just wanted more attention.... When in actuality they were showing love and compassion for themselves & accepting ALL as beauty rather than "ugliness"...& MAYBE the reason I was judging them was because my own story started out in shame.
....I grew up Christian...well you could say Catholic, then non denominational, then Mennonite, then I just decided.....I'm gonna have a relationship with God whether or not I go to church. and for me, that's when things clicked.
Ya see growing up and having SHAME around what I wore, who I talked to, what I looked like and whether or not I went to church really taught me a few things about life. And since becoming a Coach and diving into Personal development I've realized that Self love is NOT a bad thing & we must choose love over hate.
If you hear or see HATE, walk away from it. I mean really, Why are we JUDGING others(whatever their size, race sexual orientation or preference) and then saying to our friends......."did you SEE WHAT THEY POSTED?!?! What kind of attention does that person want!?!!?...I wouldn't EVER POST THAT!!!"
Alright Sharon, well good for you. But What I stand for is accepting & LOVING myself & also accepting & LOVING others who say, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I want to be me, & love me & not feel this judgement from myself or from others."
We are out here standing for self love because it helps hold us to higher standard & don't ya think God would want us to love His Creation...as in OURSELVES!?!? So stop the negative talk about yourself...especially in front of your kids. Stop the negative talk for judging someone else(in case ya forget, we ALLLLLL Gods children too ya know) and remember YOU ARE a part of the solution if you are uplifting Instead of trolling & Instead of judging you are praising...& I thank you for standing up for what is right.
Success Leaves Clues
Don't let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of yours. 💕
Instead of resenting and envying the happiest, healthiest and wealthiest people I started to realize that success leaves clues. And I was reminded over and over, that if I wanted to stop thinking like the people who gave up on dreams I had to go find the ones making it happen and spend more time with THEM. And guys. Magic happens when ya do that.💕

Shut It, Ego
Fear would stop me from doing SO MUCH. Until I told my ego to shut it so I could focus on others instead of myself.
Ya see, I used to be afraid to invite people to join my Virtual Health Club & Coach training because their opinion of what they thought of ME was MORE IMPORTANT to me than seeing THEM succeed. I wonder what THEY could have accomplished if I was willing to get of my own way.....
...." Maybe that girl would have gotten the confidence to leave her abusive relationship." "Maybe he could have been able to quit the job he hated." "Maybe she could have brought her husband home from work too and got to grow closer because of it, instead of ending in divorce." " Maybe he would still be alive if he would have joined my group and got healthier."
These are all real thoughts I have had because I've seen peoples lives unfold on social media and it sucks to have this guilt. I'm not standing on the sidelines anymore. I'm inviting more and I'm sharing more of my story because I want this for YOU too.
If you don't reply to my invite or emails or comment or like on my posts, It's OK. Your opinion of me doesn’t matter. What matters is that I do my BEST at helping those that are willing to help themselves too.
I used to say this isn't for everyone, but now I believe 💯% that this IS for everyone if they only believed in themselves enough to show that they are worthy of health and wealth. YES this can work for them the same way it's worked for me. What matters most is that you see your value and love who you are and realize you have greatness inside of you too and you decide to live with a purpose you are passionate about. Shouldn't that be what life is about anyway!?! Treating yourself and those around you with love!?! We only have one chance at life. Let's try our best. 💕 I'm only a message away💕
