My life has forever been changed by nutrition and fitness, and it is time to share all of my SECRETS with YOU! I am looking for peeps who would like to participate in my launch. This particular group will participate for FREE. 🚫💲 The only investment you will have to make is in YOU and your food cost.

My ideal participants are those who:

👍are 100% READY and WILLING to change their life for the BETTER.

👍have been DIAGNOSED with an ailment such as autoimmune disease, thyroid condition, diabetes, etc.
👍are ready to TAKE THEIR LIFE BACK!

If you would like more info on the DETAILS of this or would love to PARTICIPATE, or even if your are nosey 👃 (LIKE ME 😂😂😂) and would just like to be a fly on the wall, COMMENT "ME!" below or PM me!!! Space will be LIMITED, and I already have 5 spots TAKEN!

TRUTH 👉👉👉 I do NOT like to shop for clothes. 😣 Or at least I used to....👗👖👕👚

For almost a decade, I would buy clothes only because I HAD TO. My outlook.... "Why should I even try to look cute? I'm not, I don't look good in anything, I'm so fat and ugly, nothing fits me....no sense in it." So I would buy the most descent-looking-frumpy clothes to try to hide the body I was ashamed of.

👆👆👆 Does this sound familiar??? If it does, my heart goes out to you. You are worth so much more than what that voice in your head is telling you. You can do all the things you dream of. YOU HAVE THE POWER WITHIN YOU. Not from a pill, wrap, significant other, "diet", doctor, surgery, and so on.... Sometimes it just takes a little bit of work to unearth that courage and power. But you can do it. I did it. So can YOU.

On a side note, yesterday was the first time in over a decade that I actually was like "DAAAAMN!!!" looking in the mirror! 😂😂😂 I even put on a pair of pants that were a size 8. That hasn't happened in over a decade either.

Take home message....BELIEVE that you are worth it, because you are, TAKE the chance on a new way of life, EMBRACE the journey, LOVE yourself, and ENJOY the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle.

I admit. It doesn't take much to please or excite me. Perfect example: 👉👉👉 Cutting into a watermelon and seeing a gloriuosly pink and juicy center 🍉🍉🍉. I'll take it! ❤watermelon

Seriously, this has been my addiction for the past few months. I took out the brown rice pasta, so now its this deliciously spicy, comforting bowl of chicken and vegetables. My favorite part??? The KALE, of course. I put it in raw and just let the residual heat of the broth slightly wily it. Yuuuummm...

Taking a snack break! I know this isn't the most flattering presentation, BUT...it is OUT OF THIS WORLD DELISH! A roasted sweet potato with my HOMEMADE & SQUEAKY CLEAN Cinnamon Pecan Butter. I mean, holy moly...What are your favorite clean snacks???

Taking a moment or two to get my daily dose of vitamin D! Yes, your skin produces LOTS of vitamin D when exposed to the sun (in moderation!!!)

Are you vitamin D defiecient? If you don't know, get it checked. It is one on the MOST COMMON vitamin deficiencies, so don't be surprised if you are. I am. And I'm working on it today with these water babies!!!

Don't go without roasting yer NUTS!!! 😂🌰🌰🌰 Pecans and almonds are a STAPLE in my diet. I buy them raw and unsalted, but the MAGIC🎉🎊 happens when you ROAST them. Just preheat your oven on to 350°, and bake for 10-15 minutes until the kitchen begins to fill with the delicious nutty aroma. Remove, cool, and store for snacking and recipes! I turn my pecans into cinnamon pecan butter (TO DIE FOR. Seriously to all you peanut butter lovers!), and I love my almonds with dried cranberries for a snack. 🍴

So, I volunteered to be my own guinea pig. Yes, I have been put to the test, and have 2 more days to go. So what's the big test??? Well, as many of you know I am a HUUUGE advocate for fitness and nutrition, ESPECIALLY antiinflammatory/gluten free/autoimmune eating, and my goal is to put together my OWN 30 day program, including a cookbook, tools, tips, tricks, and 24/7 support. Things that I have noticed in just a week and a half:
✔My annoying, ever so DIFFICULT ADULT, HORMONAL ACNE has CHILLED THE heck out...This is a MAKEUP-LESS AND FILTER-LESS SELFIE! I ALWAYS use filters!
✔My guts are HAPPY! No bloating, irritability, discomfort. Just cool, calm REGULARITY. 💩 LOL
✔ Energy level is increased and MAINTAINED!
✔Fatigue and brain fog are dowwwwn, thank GOD!
✔And importantly, but NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT, I dropped 5 lbs. Yes, loosing weight is NOT the most important outcome. FEELING GOOD is!!!
I really couldn't ask for a better outcome. I will be putting a test group together soon. If you are interested on participating OR simply just curious, please reach out to me in a PM!

So, I'm flexing and checking out my abs in the mirror, okayyy (just admit that you do it, too 😜👀💪). Excitedly, I tell this girl, "HEY! CHECK OUT THESE AB MUSCLES!" You know what she says???? "What, a 2-pack?!?!?!" 😬😡😠😕 How in the hell does she even know what a "2-pack" is???

Do you tend to crave SWEETS or SAVORY in the morning??? I, hands DOWN 👇, crave sweets in the a.m. But when you're trying to reduce your amount of carbs (aka SUGAR on STEROIDS 💪💪💪), sweets aren't the best option. So eggs are a great way to enjoy a healthy balanced breakfast, and the options are LIMITLESS on what you prepare them with! I made a healthier spin on the Denver omelette today. When going for BALANCE in your diet, ALWAYS keep in mind:

🍳Protein ✔
🍃HEALTHY carbs (veggies) ✔
🍈HEALTHY fats (avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, etc)
🌳Fiber (levels out blood sugar, keeps things moving, if you know what I mean 💩😉)

Uhhhh...the struggle is REAL!

Let me get real with ya for a moment...

I seriously need to check myself before I WREAK MYSELF, nutritionally speaking. During the last few days, I have consumed all of the following:

🍬M&Ms
🍕Pepperoni pizza
🍦Ice cream
🍟Fried potatoes
🍁Waffles with FAKE maple syrup
🌽Nacho Cheese Doritos
🍵Diet Dr. Pepper
Annnnd on, and on, and on.
🙈🙉🙊

No, I am not perfect and will NEVER claim to be. I am human, and I struggle just like everyone else. BUT... when I see myself getting out of control, I know its time to do something about it. And, coincidentally, a couple of others were up for the challenge ASAP.

So I ask you, WHY NOT NOW?!?! Well, starting tomorrow, actually. Lol It will be a FREE 7 day challenge, utilizing a private Facebook group. There will be daily challenges, and you will be encouraged to share, post, ask, offer, support, etc! It is a great way to stay motivated, have accountability, and get all the support you need to get back on track!

So the big question is....WHO'S WITH ME? Comment "ME!" below, and you're IN!
