Little tough love 💕, just because I love you guys!
Ok mommas let’s get real. Load of laundry that is waiting for you is not going away. A sink full of dirty dishes, will stay there ( I promise).
Toys will not get mad of you because you didn’t put them away....... But one thing for sure is perishing and going away. You might not notice it right now, but in a few years or maybe sooner you will, and it might be too late 😐😐😐.

What is that one thing? Your health. If you are not taking the time to care for your mental and physical wellbeing, you will not be around long enough to take care of very important things in life.
And if you are around, you won’t be able to enjoy life and you might even be dependent on others, like your kids and spouse, to care for you🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️. I am seeing this all over with the generation before us. Let’s not repeat this. .
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I know, you knew this already, but you need to stop putting your health on the back burner. Bring it forward, it needs your attention before it starts burning.

🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐 Raise your hand 🖐 if you want to be there when your kids and grand kids need you and don’t want to be a burden on your children or spouse.
You are either moving towards what you want or repeating what you don’t want!
The fact is, we all dream and imagine ourselves having what we want, but most of us almost immediately start shutting dawn our dreams and positive thoughts by listing all the things that can go wrong and all the things we don’t have.
If you want to succeed in any goal and dream, it can be health and fitness, having your own business, or anything else, you have to be able to get over the hill of self sabotage. You have to be able to think and start listing all the things you do have and all the things you can do.
If you don’t stop your negative thoughts, you will spend the rest of your life repeating what doesn’t make you happy and wondering what could of life been look like if you took action.
What is your goal that has been shut down by all the negative thoughts? And are you ready to start ignoring those negative thoughts and implementing ways to reach your goal?
I needed to believe in me and everything else would follow.
People always ask me how I was able to loose the baby fat so quickly, but when I tell them what I did and do, they don’t believe me 😐😐 They tell me well “I go to gym and I workout too”, “I have a personal trainer”, “ I try to eat healthy”, “ but I will never get the results that you have”, “ you must be doing a crash diet”, or when we are at gatherings, I keep hearing “someone like that, doesn’t eat”😱😮. I know, it might be hard to believe, but I have heard it, and I am still hearing it.
Reality is I am eating all day, and you know this, if you ever spent a day with me, but I eat to fuel not to just eat.
My secret which I can tell you, but unfortunately I can not give it to you is, BELIEVE, I believed I can loose the baby fat in 3 months and keep it off and I did.
I can help you with nutrition plan and workout plan, but I cannot give you the BELIEVE.
You have to believe that you can do it and you will!
BTW, I have some spots left in my challenge group, let me know if you believe you can and you want to join me!
I chose them and everything else fell in place.
I thought I had to choose between staying home and enjoying my kids grow, or go to work and focus on my career. So after tons of struggle, I finally made a decision to stay home with my, at the time 2 years old, daughter.
Give me a 🖐 if going to work after having kids is hard for you too.
For years I struggled again as a stay home mom, don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed being with my daughter, but I was missing something. I needed to do more with my life. But I didn’t want to leave my kids alone for even a minute.
Why do we have to choose between working long hours to get a promotion and climb corporate ladders, or enjoying time with our kids and family?
Why do we have to choose between a fulfilling career and our kids?
Well, the right answer is, we don’t have to. I thought we had to, but I was wrong, very wrong.
Now I have a fulfilling career, in which I get to help others, and staying home with my kiddos!
What else can I ask for???

Am I just special? may be, but unfortunately I don’t think I am that special 🤪. We all keep hearing that as we age our metabolism slows, our hormones get out of control, we loose muscle, we are more prone to injuries, etc..... is this true? Absolutely
But do we have to accept it? Definitely not.
I am just one example of how you can go against these facts or as I call limiting thoughts.
This picture shows me in my 20s, with no kids, not a good diet, and very limited exercise, running on trade mill ( which at the time I thought was enough 😁) 🆚 me at age 40, with two kids and yes I gave birth to both of them, eating healthy Whole Foods and following a workout routine that has strength training, cardio, flexibility and much more.
Anyone can do this, as long as you believe you can do it and you are ready to put in the work required.
As long as we have limiting thoughts, we won’t be able to achieve great results.
So do you want to follow those self limiting thoughts or do you want to be special and proof them wrong?
