I'll never forget the Thanksgiving we took this picture. I hated how I felt.😔 I thought I looked horrible, so I hid.😞 (Notice the very BIG black sweater)

Pregnancy, young kids, and a failed adoption had me tired and confused about how I should be taking care of myself. I didn't have a lot of time, no education about nutrition and exercise, and felt lost. Can you relate?

A few months later, I found the FASTer Way to Fat Loss, and well, the rest is history.🥳

That's why I am so passionate about sharing the FASTer Way because YOU deserve to FEEL GOOD and I've seen it work for SO MANY others, too. I am one story of thousands.

Are you ready to finally step into the live you deserve? Let's fix this, the RIGHT way, once and for all.

This is the last round I'm offering in 2021.

Let's get you moving towards your best self and by Thanksgiving you won't be hiding in an oversized black sweater!

Here for YOU. Link in bio.💜

💥💥 Ready to finally find the one thing that will actually WORK?💥💥

*Eliminating Carbs
*Counting points
*Fake food and shakes
*Hour long cardio sessions

What do all of those have in common?
You tried em, and they did not exactly go how you thought they would.

AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT?!

If I've learned anything in my 2 years of being a FASTer Way to Fat Loss Coach it's that the REASON all of those things didn't work is because they were all TOO something. TOO strict, TOO loose, TOO hard, TOO unrealistic, TOO unmanageble.

What if today, you chose the ONE thing you haven't tried? Reasonable change over time. 🤯

If you're ready to do this the right way, the way that works for good, I am ready to show you what it looks like to finally feel better. To finally feel alive and on fire for your life. Ugh. It's just SO GOOD.

We start, like so many great things, on Monday. You ready?

C'mon! Link in bio.

Three ways to know whether or not the Faster Way to Fat Loss will work for you.
✨I GET IT. ✨
I've so been where you are, you've made a million and one attempts at getting healthy and still find yourself frustrated and hungry. BECAUSE I have been there, I am laying it all out for you so that you can figure out if THIS is the thing that will finally solve your problem.

Here are the 3 ways to know if FASTer Way will actually work for you:
1-You're ready to quit eating too little, exercising too much, feeling like you've got to be perfect to get results.
2- You are coachable, and ready to trust someone that has accomplished what you're hoping to do.
3- You're ready to do the work, because all of this hinges on you showing up for you.

The reason I get it is because I've been there. You're right, so far, those other things may not have worked long term, but this IS different, and so are YOU. If you're finally ready to see a different result, learn about a lifestyle, not a diet plan, we start on ⏰Monday, August 30. Join us at the link in the comments.

How have you tried to get healthy?

PRK( Vision correction) *update*

So... Can I see now?

Well, not yet.👀 But it's getting better. PRK isn't an instant fix but every week my vision is getting better. By week 4, it *should* be pretty darn clear. Surgery was a breeze and only 10 minutes long. Day 2 and 3 were real bad...like MAJOR eye irritation. I lived in a cold dark room and applied LOTS of eye drops💦 Days 4-10 irritation was completely gone. Today, Day 11 things are clearing up, or I'm adjusting to having blurry vision. It'll be worth it and just like most things in life- not giving up in the middle gets you to the place you want to be.

Pic 1: morning of surgery (last pic with my glasses!)
Pic 2: pre-op. Star on my forehead means I'm getting both eyes done.
Pic 3: post op, day 3 - dark room, warm beverage, just getting through (My boys offered to make me my coffee that morning 💜)

Do you say the "b------" word?
Double tap if you do.

What! I'm talking about bananas!

Bananas get such a bad rap...ever heard of the saying "You're driving me bananas"? Maybe that's where all they're trouble started. Some people won't eat a banana because it has carbs, about 27 to be exact! That's cray-cray.

Eat whole foods. Enjoy bananas. Be healthy.
Eat carbs and still burn fat. This is not keto, y'all.

Lots of snack ideas, lots of recipes, lots of food talk in the FASTer Way round that begins on Monday. It's FINAL CALL. Get your b***y in my group and say the "B" word as much as you'd like!

Oh girl, I feel your pain.

The scale is a beast and it's out to sink you. Depending on what it reads, you're feeling skinnier than ever OR you're diving into the pit of despair because you're 'fat'.

Anyone ever weight themselves EVERYDAY?
I have. And it just about derailed me from all the GOOD I was doing for myself. All because the scale went up a couple tenths of a pound and not down. Maybe I hadn't pooped yet that morning, maybe I had more salt the day before and was retaining water, maybe it was a certain day in my cycle. All I know is the POWER GIVEN TO THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE had to be taken away.

I don't ride the scale roller coaster anymore. (Thank you God!) When my scale died a couple months ago (true story), I breathed a sigh of relief and had a whole lot more emotional energy to live productively. The has taught me SO MUCH about how to measure health and success. We focus on non scale victories- energy, sleep health, strength, progress in fitness goals, staying hydrated, eating healthy, whole foods, sticking to our eating schedule, how our jeans fit, etc. We talk about building lean muscle and shedding fat. Body RECOMPOSITION, not weight loss. It's the most freeing thing in the world. Sure, we look at the hard data, a scale measurement once every 6-8 weeks, measuring our inches lost as we tone up, lab results from a doctor...

Oh friend, GET OFF the scale. Stop trying to quickly lose the 5 pounds, only to gain back 10. Learn how to feed your body and brain so you max out on energy and start shedding stored fat. You're going to feel so much better and know your body is changing without that pesky old scale. There isn't a better time than right now. Get off the roller coaster and into a place of health. Do it for you, for your family, for the world that needs your light to shine brightly.

My next round starts soon, Monday- Oct 19. There's room for you but you need to sign up now! Grab a friend who needs this freedom too and use the code SUCCESSPARTNER for 50% off. AND proceeds from the round will be donated to St Jude's Hospital.

Here's to you thriving!
