Ugh!! Why did I do that AGAIN?!? I’m so frustrated!
Why do we do continue to do things that make us feel icky inside and like a fat blob?!
I know I’m being a little graphic, but it’s the truth!! That’s how we feel and we call ourselves much worse in our own heads.
But we’re human. We go through ups and downs. We make mistakes and we also soar. We have big wins and deep losses. This is our game of life.
But in the end, the winner is one who learns to control her mind and gets quicker and quicker at picking herself up and moving in a positive direction without missing a beat.
I found myself frustrated at my recent lack of self-discipline and it was not only creating stagnation in my goals, but ultimately the physical effects were adding up to feeling tired, bloated, low energy, puffy eyes and just plain yucky on the inside.
The frustration I was feeling could lead to two outcomes:
- Continued downward spiral because I had already “lost”, or
- The catalyst to change my direction and be the reminder of what I’m wanting to move away from.

Watch my live video about what brought me to this place, how I dealt with it, and what other ways you can prevent yourself from going down the same trap. Or even how to pull yourself out if you already feel stuck.
I created a live video about the rest of my story in my free private group on Facebook, Worthy To Be Me. After you join, just scroll in the feed and you’ll see it posted on Sunday Nov. 13, 2016. There’s a lot of additional great tips and mindset things I share to help you, especially as we head into the holidays!

P.S. There’s no better than that right now to be surrounded by support, accountability and love as we head into one of the most stressful times of the year. The time of year where most people gain 7-10 pounds in just 2 short months! Wouldn’t even maintaining your weight be a holiday success, rather than being one of the statistics who may (or may not) have to work it back off come New Years?!
Join me and become one of my VIP’s–The inexpensive way to give you support, resources and accountability you need to make this holiday season, and many more, successful and empowering. Not drowning in stress and/or holiday weight gain. Learn more here.
One step closer. One action and one day at a time. #justkeepswimming
That’s how you achieve your goal.
That’s how you cross the finish line.
That’s how you look back to be proud of how far you’ve come.
This applies in ALL areas: personal, business, health, financial, emotional, spiritual, relational etc.
But when it comes to your health (weight loss, habit creation, lifestyle change) THIS is the perspective you need to have.
One decision, one action, one step in the right direction, day by day–in the end landing you at your goal with so much progress and change that you CANNOT go back. It’s impossible.
You’re different.
You’re new.
You’ve changed–for the better.
Your hard-wiring has been reconfigured because you’ve put in the WORK.
You’ve been dedicated.
You’ve persevered.
You’ve made the tough choices–time and time again until they became commonplace.
You were COMMITTED.
And.you.WON.
Seeing their shifts and changes and wins right in front of my eyes. And it’s BEAUTIFUL and HUMBLING and INSPIRING all at the same time.
So it’s expanding.
I’M expanding.
My business and influence is expanding.
And God is leading the way.
And revitalization of their faith–leaving burdens, worries and baggage at the feet of Jesus to step into a NEW DAY filled with love, acceptance, and grace to fully embody who He created us to be.

Have you ever had one of those moments that you heard something that was so powerful it wouldn’t leave you?
That happened to me about a week ago. A fellow entrepreneur and health coach shared with me one of her favorite statements that hit me at the core. She said,
“The authentic self has no need for excess weight.”
Wham!!
I felt like a light-bulb had flicked on in my head and an awakening happened inside my belly. I love constantly learning and growing. Realizing we don’t know it all, and we shouldn’t. The beauty in life, friendships and relationships is that we glean from other’s knowledge and experiences, if it we choose to be open to change.
And even though when my friend said this, it wasn’t directly meant for coaching or schooling me, it was just a comment in passing, but to me it was so powerful!
I’ve adapted it in my own way for what feels super meaningful to me:
And what I mean by extra baggage is still in reference to excess weight, but actually it can be meant for all areas of life. That when we are truly fulfilled, living our calling and serving and loving others, we don’t need fillers, distractions, idleness, mindless time-wasters.
>>Final Thought: When you’re living a truly fulfilled life, you have everything you need, and your body performs naturally at its highest level. It sheds extra weight and craves healthy fuel (i.e. food) and activity. To me that’s such a powerful mental shift. I hope it inspires you, as it did me. And not to make you feel like your life isn’t good or valuable, but to help you reflect on any areas that you may feel are not in congruence with the feeling of true fulfillment.
And if you find some, the next question is, are you brave enough to start making a change? To move forward to create the life that is fulfilling on a soul-level, in every area.
You’re worth it.
Have a beautiful day. 😉
Your sister in Christ,

P.S. As you reflect, if you feel that an area you’re struggling with is your body (i.e. aches and pain, poor sleep, back pain etc.) I invite you to explore my newest program–4 Weeks To A Stronger Core.
Here we’re diving deeper into understanding our body and the critical reasons for having a strong core. Your core supports every other bodily function, so it’s no joke. This isn’t a boot camp to get a “6-pack”, this is pairing down to the root of core strength, and building upon it properly.
If that interests you, we kick off this Wednesday, July 27th, so check it out here. 😉
