What do YOU feel like you need to do? Pray, listen to HIM and move forward. Others speak out if their own wants, needs and many times negativity...not always in your best interest.

If I had listened to others I would never have lost weight, started teaching fitness classes, become a...

Thankful!! So thankful for this day home with the kids. Thankful that I can be present for everyday of summer with my boys. Thankful that I can work from my laptop next to the pool. Thankful for a team that works hard and encourages one another! I love that we get to do this kind of...

With God's love there will be fruit... JOY!!

I love this pic of my neighbor and I working out. As much as most people hate to workout, God has given both her and I a joy for it. Yes, I said joy!! You see, joy is not "happy". Happiness comes and goes like money or a full refrigerator. Joy, on the...

Do have a favorite workout shoes? I do! I get messages all the time asking about the best shoes, workout pants, workout "undergarments" and such. I'm happy to recommend what I love especially after years of personal research.

As far as shoes go, Nike just fits my foot best. I have a very high...

Every workout counts, even the ones you don't love, the ones where you weren't totally sure what you were doing, the ones you had to cut short, ones done in the winter, summer, in a She-Hulk shirt and the ones you made sure NOT to miss. They all count!

I've been lifting a lot more lately as I...

I love working out outside. It gets a bit more difficult as the weather heats up here in Texas, but being outside helps me push and break a good sweat!

Here's the workout:
- I started with Turbo Round 67 (TurboKick or Turbo...

*Yes...I'm on a horse!! Everything is better on a horse, right??

HOPE is always there......we just have to be willing to believe. Hope is my mainstay. It gets me out of my current situation/mindset and focuses my attention on the BIG picture. Hope is much like faith in the sense of being sure...

Oh my gosh, sharing pics like this is not easy. Today is Day 12 in the Ultimate Reset, and to be honest I've felt so much better these past days and the scale has revealed weight loss, but my pics just have not shown it...until today!

Isn't that funny how everyone's body takes it own time to...

I just started a 21 Day detox called The Ultimate Reset. I'll be honest...this process is not fun. I've done it once before as a part of the test group when the program first launched. It's a tough thing to commit to, but it gives awesome results. And not just weight-loss...I sleep better while I...

Success is important to all of us. We want to be successful as individuals, in our daily roles (mother, wife, employee, friend), and in our singular goals. I have found that when I apply 5 key elements to my pursuit of success, I am more likely to find it. 

1. Pray. Everyday, no matter what,...
