I used to test my willpower on a daily basis by trying to go as long as I could without eating. In a twisted way i thought that made me special. It seemed so boring to need #food 3 to 5 times a day just like everyone else. #healthylife #healthybod #fitlife #challenges

And then I wondered why my #emotions were so volatile and I couldn’t seem to maintain a #healthy relationship. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Today I’m perfectly happy with my quiet little life - including stopping for #lunch instead of working straight through hopped up on #diet soda. #fitlife

And I know we are ALL special (even those of us who eat a turkey sandwich and cabbage salad for lunch), and just because we are mere mortals who need 3 square meals a day doesn’t make us any less magical 💖✨ #fitlife #healthylife #yum #balanceddiet

What lessons is #life trying to teach you right now? 💥 I know I’ve been knocked and dragged around trying to escape learning certain lessons... I tend to be a little stubborn 🙈 But the great thing is, the same #lesson keeps coming back around until we finally do learn it. 💖✨

This program is teaching me the importance of rest and really, truly taking care of myself. #Challenges in my business are teaching me to really, truly, once and for all believe in myself. #metime #selflove #dailystruggles #liveandlearn

When you get that sense of deja vu - don’t get frustrated. Instead see it as a test you didn’t pass but you just got the opportunity to retake it! 🤓 #bestrong #whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger #fight #positivevibes

I just had a chat with my business mentor about - when you finally start to make more money - how to decide how much to #reinvest in your #business versus how much to spend on yourself. I consider this a #goodproblemtohave 🌟 #positivevibes #moneytalks

Summer’s bounty - a BLT style #salad w/ roasted potatoes, lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, grapes, & a version of buttermilk ranch dressing homemade w/ Greek yogurt!! This was sinfully #delicious to the point it was hard to believe it fits into my meal plan - but it does! #yum #healthy

I hope you know that even if you never, ever choose to #join one of my virtual bootcamps - I still love you! 💞 I am to #inspire, and if my posts inspire you to take any sort of# positive action for your #health - then I’ll be #satisfied I did my part!! 💗 #coachlife #fitlife

But if you’re struggling... I happen to know a pretty darn good system that has helped hundreds of my clients build and sustain a regular #exercise #habit as well as healthier eating habits. Just saying 😜 #workitout #fitlife #healthybody #joinme #dmme

Cooking saved me. Even in the days when i had a very disordered relationship with #food, I still cooked myself dinner most nights, and loved to bake. In the kitchen I would feel at peace and so connected to the traditions of my grandmothers. #cooking #passion #life

The raw ingredients and their scents, textures, tastes drew me into the moment and made me feel everything was going to be just fine, in a world and a life that at the time felt very NOT fine, suffused with anxiety and fear. #food #passion #cooking #life

For years I would bring these home cooked lunches to work and then I wouldn’t eat them... i’d buy something from the vending machine or skip lunch. I couldn’t bring myself to eat them and I’d end up throwing them away. #food #life #cooking #passion

It was the weirdest thing and I couldn’t understand why I was doing it. I later realized I didn’t believe at my core that I deserved to be loved and taken care of. These days when I bring a lunch to the office, I eat it. #food #cooking #struggles #fitlife

But even in the days I hadn’t yet learned to accept love... I kept cooking. My instincts told me it would be my way out, and to follow the thread even if the path wasn’t yet clear. #cooking #struggles #life #positivity

I’m seriously inspired by my teammate’s goals and drive! Better keep an eye on this lady because she is going places!! Pushing alongside her is lighting a fire in my belly!!! --> ow.ly/Uky330lQUzs #friendspiration #bodygoals #fitlife #healthylife #workitout

The October selection is Presence by Amy Cuddy and it’s all about bringing your best self through the power of being present in the moment 💞 Join the discussion here: bit.ly/LVbookclub #bookclub #joinus #positivevibes #healthybody #healthymind

When you make time for you, it’s an exercise in setting boundaries. Block out 30 minutes for your workout and your family sees that you’re not messing around... It’s good practice for other areas of life and asking for what you need 💥 #fitlife #workitout #healthylife

So which will it be? Are you going to keep putting yourself last and then get mad when other people take advantage of that? Or are you going to teach those around you a new way of treating you? #choosewisely #fitlife #bodypositivity #strongmind #workitout

It starts with setting expectations for how you want to be treated... And it starts with how you treat yourself. 💖✨ #metime #loveyourself #healthybody #healthymind
