Measure Your Weight Loss Progress By Your New Strength


I remember on day 3 I was shaking and struggled holding a plank position and thinking in this very move, “WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING OF DOING THIS PROGRAM!!! This is hard and I will never finish!” Here I am just a day away from completing the program! I have come so far. I don’t struggle like I used to holding a plank. I actually look forward to my workouts. I love sharing about it and helping others start this amazing journey. I have gotten so much stronger mentally and physically. My body has changed for the better and I am doing this. Real change can happen in just a few months time when you are consistent. 

It's so easy to measure your progress by the scale alone, but that scale is a BIG FAT LIAR! If you are feeling frustrated in your journey, just think about how much stronger you have gotten. This is why I take video and pictures. So I can literally see the changes!

Must Have Book To Read in 2018


What I’ve been reading/listening to recently! Girl, WASH YOUR FACE! By Rachel Hollis. You guys if you haven’t picked up this book GO RUN TO THE BOOKSTORE NOW or Amazon or Audible! So great that I have barely been able to stop listening to it. I turn this on first thing in the morning during my daily 20 minute reading time or when I’m getting ready for the day, taking a shower, making dinner. Really anytime I need to take a minute to decompress! 

She is so down to earth real and relatable it’s inspiring. I firmly believe in reading or listening to something daily that lifts you up and helps set your mind in a positive place for the day. Some people call it self help. Some call it personal development. I’m calling it another form of momma sanity saver! (My workout is my other tool to help me be “nice mommy!”) Have you already read this book? What do you love about it if you have? Haven’t read it? Go check it out and share this post with a friend or 2!

TOP ADVICE: 

What I suggest is to order your bundle kit NOW so that you don't forget to order it, allows plenty of time to get to so you so that you can start A Little Obsessed with the equipment without having to wait. Being prepared is a huge part of 80 Day Obsession. Start that now with planning ahead!

You can get any of the 80 Day Obsession bundle kits starting now but know that you might need to reorder some of the items before the end of your 80 Day Journey, if you use them during this Learn To Be Obsessed Challenge.

Annual Beachbody On Demand Membership

80 Day Obsession MEGA Bundle Kit

BECKY'S PICK! ---> 80 Day Obsession COMBO Bundle Kit

***The next 2 options, are the same price but you have to choose to either get Shakeology or the pre and post workout supplements.

80 Day Obsession BASIC Challenge pack with SHAKEOLOGY

80 Day Obsession BASIC Challenge pack with Pre & Post Workout Supplement


**Just to clarify, you must have Beachbody On Demand, and the workout equipment (resistance loops and sliders). To get the results that I am getting at the speed that I am getting them, I recommend getting the MEGA or COMBO kit. I personally use Shakeology daily, and the pre and post workout mixes on the days that I workout. Don't feel like you have to get a bundle kit to participate, but know that these supplements do help fill in the gaps with your nutrition and help boost your workout performance and reduce soreness with the post workout supplement.

Tips To Love The Fitness Journey


It’s easy to look at my INSTAGRAM feed and think, wow! She never misses a day! Obviously I am not thin, or visibly fit. Most people, when I tell them I’m a health and fitness motivator and coach, will do the body scan, oh and that’s happened when I am talking to them face to face or I get a super shocked face from them.

It’s taken me a long while to learn to love this journey for the bigger picture. For my health first and not as a way for me to eat whatever I wanted. For me to feel strong because I am strong. Not to hide my feelings of feeling stuck in my body and not able to do the things I want. I’m working on being the best version of myself. That means I had to learn to embrace this journey for the long haul. I know I’ll reach my goals. I just don’t know how long it will take. This is not a quick fix. This is my lifestyle.


Tips To Learn To Love Your Fitness Journey: 

1) Find a program that you love and enjoy doing. If you love what you do it won't feel like work! 

2) Plan your workout times ahead of time, and stick with the plan. There is nothing worse then trying to find time, or make time in your busy life to fit in your workout. When you make time, you can enjoy it more.

3) Make it fun and have support along the way. Workout with friends. Or have a community where you can post and get support from others around you. This is why I host support and success groups so that you have the community to cheer you on and lift you up along the way! 

4) Life happens, but it doesn't have to happen every single day. Make your workouts a priority to you. Occasionally, life will get in the way of your workout. Sickness happens. Stuff happens. But when 1 NEEDED day off turns into 5+ you have to look at, why you are lacking motivation. What do you need to help you succeed? Then find what it is you think you need and GET IT!

You Are Never Alone On Your Fitness Journey


Being a busy mom with 3 kids I get stuck in kid mode all the time. Saying, "poopy, nummy, boogies, penie (penis for my 3 year old.)" and talking in a voice that is slightly higher and childish can really get old after awhile. I love my kids but I miss having people to talk to. Being a mom can be a lonely thing, especially for stay at home moms. For me, having an adult conversation just didn't happen very often until I found my tribe. I needed a community of people that get me. That would motivate me. I made it my mission to surround myself with people who life me up. With people who make me happy. With people who never judge no matter what. With people who want me to succeed. 

And guys! I have found them. For me, my coaching community is my tribe. This past weekend I got to hang out with a handful of my tribe. It lifted my spirits. It brought happiness into my life. And we are all on the same journey, to reach our own goals and help others along the way do the same! Another part of my tribe is my own health and fitness community on FACEBOOK is my tribe. You reading this right now, you are my tribe. You are the people that get me. And because of you, I push play every day. I finally feel like I can use my normal voice. That I can survive this kid centered season of my life and come out stronger and a normal, social human being.


If you don’t have your tribe. FIND THEM. If you don’t feel like you have real conversations or connect with people. Find your people. Need a tribe? Join my health and fitness community. Search for like minded people around you. Or Ask your friends. See what groups or organizations they are part of and join them. But don’t feel like you have to go through life alone. Because you don’t. Or don’t feel like you have to go through your health and fitness journey alone. Because you don’t. Find your tribe! Chat with them often. Lean on them when you need it. Because you are worth it to have people on your side to lift you up and make you stronger. Find. Your. Tribe.
