Fit for my Purpose

What are you waiting for? For tomorrow, for the weekend, for vacation? For that "second lifetime" that's never going to happen?

No. Stop waiting, wishing, and hoping and start dreaming, doing and achieving.

My FREE 7 Day Clean Eating group starts TOMORROW on a Monday when we start fresh.

Join me for 7 days of information, tips, tricks, tools, and accountability in clean eating.

This group is FREE so I am opening it up to anyone that wants to participate. You can actively participate, or sit back and see what it's all about, that part is totally up to you.

Change starts with you, your drive and your determination and clean eating is 90% of that.

Are you ready to dip your toes in? Comment below with your email or message me for more information!

Don't waste it!

Man what a whirlwind of the past couple months. Crazy life is the best, but also so glad to be home and back to the routine of clean eating.

That being said I am super excited that I will be hosting a FREE clean eating Facebook group here in the next week or so!

Stay tuned for the dates and message me if you're interested in being a part of it! I will be giving free tips on clean eating, portion control, importance of water, meal planning and prep and I would LOVE to include you!

Most of ya'll know my husband, Tony. If you don't, you should.

Have you ever had a dream in your heart so big that you feel that it's out of your league, over your head, unachievable?

Me too.

Until this man entered my life and believed in me when even I couldn't. Everything I have achieved in my life since he's been in it, I first owe gratitude to God, and then to him.

I whole heatedly believe that I am as successful as I am in life because he believes in me.

I want to believe in you, support you, push you.

You don't have to walk through life, fitness journeys, trying to lose weight all on your own.

I've been blessed with gifts and talents that make it my pleasure to help you succeed, and I want to do just that.

My next challenge group starts August 3rd. Are you ready to change your life and let me believe in you?

I am. PM me to secure your spot!

Doing some soul searching recently and spending ample amounts of time on Pinterest reviewing my life goals and what I want to get out of this life I've been blessed with.

What's my purpose, what am I here for?

This hit home today as I continue to build my amazing team of others who want to help change lives.

I may not know 100% how to get there, how to reach my goals, but I know my purpose is to help improve the lives of others.

You were born with a purpose. I am here to help you get there!

Drop your email, send a message, a text or a call if you're interested in more information. I would love to help you!

15 “Health Foods” That Are Really Junk Foods in Disguise

eatlocalgrown.com Are you eating any of these 15 so-called "healthy foods"?

I have what most people don't because I'm willing to do what most people won't.

Are you?

Seriously, though. I can't tell you how many peer reviewed studies I've read, or testimonials I have heard about people who CHANGED their lives from a medical standpoint by only changing what they feed their bodies. This isn't some crazy naturalist hippie tree hugging scheme, folks. It's real whole clean food, movement, water, and sleep. AND it all leads to a much happier and HEALTHIER you. Hope that helps you make some good Mother's Day Decisions!

Right on, Eric De Barros (Artist/Musician/Pirate/Yogi).

11 Reasons Dehydration Is Making You Sick And Fat - Healthy Holistic Living

Good morning! On the topic of including everything that you should be doing to get fit and healthy, lets talk about water. Your body needs AT LEAST 1/2 of your body weight in ounces in water every single day. SO if you weigh 200 pounds, you should be drinking AT LEAST 100 ounces of water every day! If you work out for a half hour or more, you should add another 8 ounces for each half hour you're working out. Here is a little bit more information on dehydration and how it's negatively impacting your life.
