I ran 3 miles all straight uphill😩
Not really by choice..
Our new treadmill is stuck on an incline😱 ever since we got it. It makes running SO hard! I know I could run outside but there’s so much ice & I really dislike the COLD. I know my handy husband could fix it but I feel it’s a sign from God saying “You know those goals you have? Let’s go!”
So we’re both rolling with it (literally 😆). Check back with me in the summer to see if I’ve broken a 20-minute 5K race!😂
You find the solution.
You bring the motivation.
You create the time.
You develop the discipline.
You persist thru failure.
You envision success.
It’s all up to you✌
Whatever it is you’re pursuing, stay the course and find a way if it’s important enough to you!
Quitting is the easy way out. It’s what “average person” does when things get tough.
You weren’t created to be average☝️
Are you here or coming next year??
I can’t even begin to sum up all the amazing content from yesterday’s#smartsuccesslive in a single post! My sister & Bret and Dr Amen.. Just so enlightened & inspired!
Now on to Day 2 ! ✨
Know any of these beautiful ladies you can virtually high five 🙌?!
Please help me give them huge props for making the sacrifices to be here!! It can be SCARY and just plain HARD to invest your time and money into YOU & your business, which can ultimately support your family, make you a more balanced, happier person & enable you to give back to others.
But learning how to take our businesses to the next level with my team, my fit family, some of my closest friends.. what could be better?! — withTerry Hagio, Jackie Bessert Gruenes, Krystal Davis Guidish, Jenifer howson, Kelsey Shackley, Kimberly Vieley, Ashley Stamp, Tina Vartanian Williams, Jen Dodgson Delvaux, Jennifer Cliff LeVake, Jessica Wurkoutfrk Vaughn and Stacy Calcatera.
WOW. I have SO MUCH respect for these coaches; my fit family and friends who are KILLIN IT in their businesses!!💥💥💥
Do you know someone here?
Can you take a second to give them congrats??
These are women (& Ryan Luhning😉), who have made a decision to help others while they’re on their OWN personal journey too💪. Many are moms (& a Dad☺) and most started off fitting this in on top of a demanding full time job. But many of the Top Leaders have resigned their full time jobs simply because they can.
Leading takes courage, it takes vision, it takes developing a thick skin, it takes integrity, it takes compassion ..and all of these amazing coaches are role models in leadership every day!
Practicing my PiYo because I’ll be on QVC LIVE with the creator herself, my sister Chalene Johnson of course!
We’ll be on Sat 1am EST😳☕☕☕

How’d I do with this pear??
🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐⭐🍐
I have egg whites (with 1 whole egg) & spinach, usually with avocado, tomatoes & salsa pretty much everyday! Today I skipped salsa but added a little organic shredded cheese. It’s one of my ways of getting in another 25g protein plus the serving of spinach & a healthy fat (1/4 avocado)👌

What are your kid-friendly ideas??
Moms… Idk about you but I find it a huge struggle to NOT overdo carbs in my son’s lunches & meals😏 Even if your kid is a healthy weight, trust me, bad habits get OUTTA CONTROL & before you know it they’re not developing muscle like they should, they’re irritable, they’re getting sick, & as young adults they start having weight issues & disorderly eating habits.
Our son is 13 & gone are the days when he was a toddler & I was like💁”my baby LOVES carrots, broccoli, berries & chicken!” I FOR SURE thought I would be crowned #MomOfTheYear 👑Once they’re a teen, things change. He still likes those things but let’s be honest, carb snacks, high-sugar juices & processed foods are EVERYWHERE & it’s our job to make sure they’re “special occasion” treats not every-day-treats🚫
We have to help them find new healthy foods he likes, educate him & help understand balance. Don’t get me wrong, we are NOT perfect..omg, far from it (ordering pizza for the SuperBowl 🍕🙈) but I never give up on the DAILY habits – just as I don’t give up on myself. At the same time, if his lunch is packed TOO healthy, there will just be a MAJOR TRADE SESH 🍪👀 at school or he’ll just pitch it & go hungry (bcuz no one will trade for his healthy options😾🍆..lol).
So my husband Matt & I have to be realistic about how our food standards are stricter than his. I’m ok with that but I know some will disagree.
Be careful if you’re packing lunches that are amounting to carb overload because you have too many of the following : fruit juice, pretzels, chips, yogurt, granola bar, white bread sandwich, banana, trail mix, etc. Add up the sugar grams & carbs on all that!😱 I’m not saying all of these things are horrible nor am I saying the foods I’m listing are the very healthiest.. But the healthiest options may cause total food rebellion🍟😵.
I’m just sharing ways i’ve cut back on a few of the processed carbs & substituted some other items w/fiber (Apple), healthy fats (peanut butter, 👉SuperSeedz Sea-Salt flavored Pumpkin seeds from Amazon, nuts, hummus) & protein (eggs, jerky, reduced fat cottage cheese).
Plz share YOUR ideas & “like” or “share” if this is helpful.🙏🏻😘
