Transformation!! They say a family that prays together, stays together. I believe the same goes for couples.  👩‍❤️‍👨 A couple that gets healthy together stays healthy together.  😊 👍  We transformed together and have stayed transformed together. When Levi and I first met in 1998, he was the fittest he had been since after college and I was getting more fit post-college as well.  👍 During our dating year, it was mostly eating at restaurants. Well actually it mostly consisted of eating. Both of us love to cook and I feel we are both very good cooks.  😂 At times we also felt we were eating healthy, like chicken and rice, right!?. We even joined the YMCA and worked out.  🏋️ As our wedding approached in 2000, I personally went on a low calorie diet and worked out for 3 months to lose the weight I wanted to get in the dress I wanted. Everything worked, I got to the size I wanted, wore the dress I wanted, and loved the results for my goal at the tim...

Celebrate with me!  🙌 Needed a solution After embarking on my own health journey in 2012, I needed a way to maintain after reaching my goals (getting off BP meds and eliminating PCOS, IBS, Candida symptoms) because rebounding is all too common in my own personal history. I know me!  😂 She did it! A friend of mine was also getting healthy and losing weight, about the same amount in fact, but she lost more inches, and had a larger support network. It was just me. The difference was that she had joined Team Beachbody. Before I knew it, I was watching her make side money and eventually income. She worked hard for both: health and wealth.  👍 My first impression Oh how, I loathed the name Beachbody. Oh how I was not interested in any MLM shenanigans. Why pay a fee?! Oh how I wasn't totally sold on their shakes either as I scrutinized every ingredient.  😎 Plant-based! Game changer! No whey! Somehow, someway I came across the fact that they ha...

Ultimate Portion Fix Easy Family-Friendly Meal Planning 21 Day Fix was my first Team Beachbody program. I bought the challenge pack and opted for becoming a coach to get the 25% discount on every future purchase! Yassss!!! Sure the coach-account can help you make money but I need to work on me first! The workouts rocked and so did the PORTION Containers!!!!! Re-learn your food groups and what a real portion is for our body! ----------------------------------------- WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PORTION FIX SYSTEM? If you are NEW to the Portion Control containers, let me break it down for you. Each color-coded container represents a specific food group Red = Protein Yellow = Healthy Carbs Green = Veggies Purple = Fruit Blue = Healthy Fat Orange = Seeds & Dressings You’ll also need a teaspoon (not provided) for your healthy oils and nut butter. Each color-coded container also represents a portion size. They give you a visual on what a corre...

In the 2B Mindest Program (Learning to eat better for you)... It's to Focus on how to improve and change your mindset, environment, and behavior around food! I so love this PROGRAM!  I am working on my FOOD ISSUES one day at a time. WHO IS THE 2B MINDSET PROGRAM FOR? Anyone who wants to lose 5 to 100 lbs. or more, without depriving themselves Almost everyone who wants a better relationship with food People who have failed with other diets in the past Those who can’t exercise but still wish to slim down Those who exercise but still aren’t getting the results they want Any person who frequently eats according to mood or emotional impulse Men and women who simply want to maintain their weight Anyone following a special dietary lifestyle (vegan, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, etc.) Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant. There’s a section in the program for pregnant women  that includes modifications. But, of course, anyone who is considering using th...

Ok I know many people WANT Health but they don't want to do the work or even homework or even work out to get the results they desire! The desire to change needs to be greater than the desires to stay where they are... typically in a path of destruction. In Feb I asked and asked people and they would get close to yes and then back out. I will never understand this. YOU ARE IMPORTANT! MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY!!! I have asked and will keep asking people to join me or to have me help guide them to their goals!

Blooming in the morning.  ✓ It was a joy to wake up and see this Rose open up (From My Valentine bouquet from yesterday).  ✓ It reminds me of how I am also living and need to bloom daily.  ✓ I just actually finished my workout and during it, I was thinking of a high school classmate that I've known since elementary school. I just got news that he had passed away. I don't know how, and it doesn't matter.  ✓ What matters is I am still here and living, and my responsibility is to do that, live. I am also praying for his family and friends.  ✓ So may I continue to bloom every morning opening up and being alive.

Looking at you. Directly at you What are you doing?  Where are you going in life?  Do your personal inventory on your personal life, family life, work life, and social life.  If you are very happy with where you are in every area of your life, then give me a huge High five below.  🖐️   If you are happy in some but not all areas, then give me a thumbs-up below.  👍   If you are not happy about where you are in every area of your life, then choose your own emoji and comment with it below.  🤔   I promise I will not be private messaging anyone who comments on this post. I want to provide a space for you to do inventory, and respond. Because when you respond or write things down it encourages you to be more mindful of this area and either rejoice or improve or transform.
