A Life you Love

The life & lifestyle you want is not out of your reach unless YOU think it is. I *used to* think I was stuck.. I didn’t think I had choices. But believe it, work for it in baby steps every day, and you’ll achieve it

Have the Courage

What holds you back?

What holds you back more.. Fitness, eating, or mindset?

As a stress eater & a very busy mom, wife and business owner.. I’m not perfect with my eating or fitness (or anything) ..I mess up a LOT.. I just work very hard, mentally, to turn weakness & defeat into opportunities to learn & grow. And I only allow pity parties to last for minutes.. Not days or weeks. That’s a decision & commitment to myself. Remove all that pressure & that perfectionist mindset, k ?!

April 26 the space between

If it feels like something is missing make a change

April 19 Is something missingAgreed?!
Don’t wait or wish… make it happen for yourself.
I can be very stubborn and I had once convinced myself that the life I was leading was “good enough” & I was content and comfortable even though I didn’t feel passionate about my desk job. Don’t settle. Write your goals & an action plan for the week & for the year !

Random Non Fitness Tip

Random TipReturn Facebook messages, texts, emails, write blog & fb posts..all from your smart phone using your voice to text feature – the little microphone on your phone’s keyboard -to type what you’re saying! Are you using this feature??? Is it only for iPhones?

It saves me SO much time! My sis Chalene Johnson gave me the tip a long time ago!

Yes, you have to proof it to make sure it typed your words properly () but it’s so much faster than typing it out on your phone! You can even say words at the end of sentences like “exclamation point” or “question mark” ..and you can even say “smiley” and it will insert a smiley face!

Maybe it’s just me, but I sometimes get overwhelmed with the number of texts, Fb messages and emails I need to return!

I love using apps like Hey Tell and Voxer too but not everyone has those apps!

p.s. And find a spot behind a deserted building to return your messages! Obviously this picture is staged!

Do you prefer Date Night or Date Day?!

I had a good Date day! I think I prefer day dates. About once a month, we take the day for a road trip to shop our fav stores in MI (because they’re not here in Toledo). ‪Wholefoods, ‪‎TraderJoes‬‬ ‪and ‎Lululemon. ‬‬And yes, OF COURSE, we bought more than 1 bag of groceries from WholeFoods!
Date day

Don’t Compare

You probably have better abs, or calves or hamstrings… or a better smile or a better personality than me. I have a lot of flaws that are out of my control & therefore deserve no place in my head

Be grateful for what you have and get busy working for what you want, what you CAN control & what you DESERVE

Attitude Is Everything‬

Love this.. Too many are holding themselves back based on self-doubt or labels placed on them as a child. It’s sad. I’m grateful I was raised to believe I can overcome obstacles when others say it isn’t possible, that hard work beats talent & that failure is a part of reaching success.

Overly ambitious
