YOU ARE WORTH IT!

I’ve struggled with anxiety, depression, and weight gain all of my adult life.  It peaked this November when my husband started traveling frequently with his job.  The first two months were hard.  I felt lost.  

In December, my friend reached out, offering a new workout program.  My therapist at the time said I needed to so something for me to be better for my kids.  So this workout program became “my time.”  My ‘WHY” that got me started was my kids.  I needed to be better and healthier for them.  

In January, I started working out for 30 minutes everyday.  Along with working out, I started eating right.  

After feeding my body with the nutrients it needs and exercising everyday, I noticed improvements in my life.  I was more patient with my kids, the knot of anxiety in my stomach lessened day by day, and most importantly I was starting to enjoy life as a mother and wife again.  

I’m a better Mom, better Wife and better Me.  

It’s hard as mothers to remember to take care of ourselves.  But when we take care of ourselves, we take care of our family.  YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Brown and Wild Rice Blend

One thing that drives me nuts is the Rice Blends from the store.  Most of them have tons of added salt and preservatives.  So I started making my own.  I make this once a week and use it throughout the week.  I love the nutty flavor of this rice.  Here's my recipe for your rice steamer.

Brown and Wild Rice

Serves 8-10

1/2 Cup of Wild Rice

2 Cups of Brown Rice

6.5-7 Cups of Liquid (water, broth, or a combo of both)

Place your rice in a strainer and rinse it off with water. Place in your steamer.  Add liquid.

Place steamer on brown rice setting.  Should take around 2-3 hours to cook depending on your steamer.  

If you find the wild rice isn't cooked to your liking, soak it in warm water for 1-2 hours before you cook it.  

Results and Challenge!

I’m a busy mom of four kiddos, ages 8, 7, 3, and 1. Two boys and two girls. I have an awesome, amazing and very supportive husband. I’m also a nurse. I work one day a week at a Cancer Hospital

I’ve always been fairly active. I never struggled with my weight until I was in nursing school. For my nurse friends, you understand why that happens. After nursing school I had my first baby. With my first I gained about 60 lbs with that pregnancy, and that pattern repeated for the next 3. I always struggled getting back to my weight that I was before my first. I also had multiple thyroid issues in between my second and third child: Graves disease, Hashimoto's, and thyroid cancer. I ultimately had my thyroid removed and I'm on thyroid replacement for the rest of my life.

I tried a so many times to lose weight, but nothing ever stuck. I would always go back to bad eating habits and stop exercising. After my last child, I had enough. I want to be healthy for my kids. I want to go hiking, swimming, and just be active with my family.

Recently, I found a way using at home workouts, a simple nutrition plan and a support system. A true lifestyle change. I was able to lose the weight and feel amazing.

I would love to help others reach the same success I have. So I started coaching others to lose weight, get fit, gain confidence and create a lifestyle change.

With a 30 minute daily workout, simple eating plan, and a healthy protein shake, I've lost 15 pounds and 13 inches in three months.  I've never felt better and more alive.  

My weight loss journey started with a challenge group so I am really excited about a challenge group starting! I will be with some other amazing top coaches which means EXTRA support for you! 

It is going to be a 30 day challenge where everyone in the group will be doing an at home workout program and drinking a multivitamin shake that has 70 superfoods in it to help aid in their weight loss!
