Secrets to Getting Healthy

I think we've all heard people say "I'm living the healthy life now," have we not?
But then three days into it they are back to their old habits of drinking soda and having way too many desserts after dinner, I know temptation is real so that's why I have come up with a list to help you melt away the pounds. 
(Please note that these items do not work for everyone, you have to find what's best for you. Also, please remember losing weight does not happen over night)
Here are my five suggestions:
1. Throw any and all junk food away. Yes I know your body is going to be craving it but trust me it will be thanking you later.
2. Set small goals. Don't say "I want to lose 50 pounds by May." because you will overwhelm yourself. What you should say is "I want to lose 5 pounds in one month." That goal is way more manageable and you will accomplish a lot more "mini" goals and gain a ton of more confidence in yourself...trust me on this one!
3. Order grilled! Yes, I said it...don't order plain, fried chicken fingers...have the restaurant grill those babies and pick other vegetables for your sides besides potatoes!
4. Work out! Take walks, do squats while Grey's Anatomy or Desperate Housewives are on a commercial. Park a little bit further away from the doors at Target, then do a couple of laps around Target after you've finished your shopping. Or by all means do a full on work out... but please do it correctly, no thrown backs need to come after!
5. Get enough sleep and water. These two items are key ingredients to living a healthier lifestyle that most people forget. If you don't like the taste of plain water..throw some fresh fruit in with it...you'll thank me later!

If you have any questions or need a motivator don't hesitate to contact me,!

Until Next Time,
XOXO,

Don't Put Yourself Through That

It's not always easy deciding to stop loving something that you've loved for so long, that you wanted forever. The first few days you are strong about and then BAM it hits you like a ton of bricks. You immediately start crying and wish that it had worked out and you don't completely understand why it didn't. You get mad and frustrated. You had all these plans made, you had all of these dreams you two were going to put into reality one day. It's hard to give up something that you loved. But deep down you know it's for the best. You've struggled for so long but you have the faith that your Heavenly Father is on your side and He will only do what is best for you. So  Don't Put Yourself through   the heart ache of wishing things were different because that person was put into your life for a reason, you learned a lot from those months you were together and you should be thankful for them. Remember it's not always going to be easy, but w...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible.  I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...
