10 days til vacation and 10 days until I live in a swimsuit for a week. *and for once I’m not dreading it* 😍

If I’m being honest, used to cringe at the thought of wearing a bathing suit. Planning ahead like, which coverup am I going to hide under?! And how can I get from the chair to the water as quickly as possible without anyone seeing my body?! Keeping a towel as close as possible to grab and hide under. Ugh. Just the worst.

And I’m over feeling like that.

For once I’m looking forward to running and playing with my kiddos without being embarrassed of my body or even thinking about who is looking at me. Loving my body has not come easy—it’s taken a lot of inner work, but we’ve come such a loooong way together. She has worked hard for me! And as crazy as it is to say out loud, I’m so ready to rock the sh*t outta that suit on the beach in 10 days. ❤️

Even if I’m not exactly to my goal. I felt GOOD when I put this on. And feeling good is the main goal—always. ✌🏼

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling ❷❷ ....pounds lighter! say what?!?! 🤩 I mean I knew this could work for me but seeing it 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 work for me...feels pretty damn amazing.

Today’s post workout consisted of an ice cream date with my girls to support Josie’s school...and I ain’t mad about it! 🍦😘

Also having a little wine + pasta for dinner for the first time in weeks. Not mad about it.

Hitting another little milestone in my fitness journey today. Definitely not mad about it. ❤️

You see, I’m all about living without being attached to some crazy diet. That never worked for me in the past. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But cleaning up what I eat most of the time and exercising IS working. So tomorrow, I’ll wake up without a bit of guilt and will continue trucking on this journey because I am more focused on living my life for these happy moments...and less about stressing the ones revolving around food.✌🏼#lifestylechanges #smallchangesbigresults

Softball season is in full swing and watching my girl play is my new favorite thing.😍And a big step up from the t-ball days of watching her kick rocks and dig in the dirt. 😂 #gospiders #girlssoftball #batterbatterswing

Answered some questions about coaching today on my stories—like as a stay at home
Mom of 3, how I fit in the “work” (spoiler alert—totally doesn’t feel like work btw😘).

Also, about how it’s changing me for the better. My mindset. My habits. My health. And not to mention how I look and feel. Oh and let’s not forget about what my check covered this past week! 😭

y’all, I could go on and on, but I’ll stop for today.

I know it’s not for everyone, but there are so many good things coming from this opportunity that I have to share it with you.

And incase you’ve ever wondered what my motivation is...these girls right here. All day. Errry day. ❤️

The gang’s all here to wish you a happy Easter!

The gang’s all here to wish you a happy Easter! 🐣 Somebunny is clearly still upset about Aaron’s horrible baking today, or the fact that mom waits until super late when everyone is extra full + tired to take family pics. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃 will I ever learn? #probablynot #hoppyeaster #easter2021

He loves taking pictures about as much as he loves

He loves taking pictures about as much as he loves working out with me. 😂 #riverdance (catch up on stories if you haven’t already)

Do you workout with your SO?! We don’t always, but I always enjoy it when we do. 😍 And having a live in accountability partner is pretty awesome. Even when he’s not doing the same workout as me, he’s always supporting me + pushing me to stick to my goals. He knows how important this is to me. Husbands, if you aren’t already...get on that level and support your lady!

FIVE whole months of keeping a promise to myself.

FIVE whole months of keeping a promise to myself. ❤️ No more looking for that quick fix. Here for the long haul. The lifestyle change, not the short term drop a few lbs and gain it right back. And this right here just goes to show that consistency is EVERYTHING.

Slow and steady is a-okay with me. FEELING GOOD is the goal. ✨ And ya girl is feeling good. 💃🏻

I just think of that girl on the far left...she had no freakin clue what she was in for. 🥰#bestdecisionever

The cayoootest little scrunchy face there ever was! Plus, can we just peep the glare on that soon to be front tooth. 😳 Mamas, what’s your favorite teething remedy?!
