Shift Shop | Round Two Results

Shift Shop results are in for the second time! This workout has really shifted my way of working out. When I wanted to give up and give in to not working out I stopped myself. I made it a priority to work on myself to work on becoming a better version of myself through this workout. Before I knew it I was showing more confidence and my workouts were really changing my body. I know that this portion of my journey will be the hardest for me. It’s going to take a lot for me to shed the pounds when I’m doing so many workouts that require me to use weights. The weight I see on the scale is nothing! It doesn’t define me and these before and after pictures show it. I’m stronger, leaner and more confident that I’ve ever been. This workout brought me to fit in pre- pregnancy jeans, a whole new way of eating and dropped me BELOW pre- pregnancy weight. Anything is possible and this was the workout that really showed me that.

This workout taught me that I will always be scared to do something a little harder that I expected but instead of being scared and running away, I should run towards it. I’m excited to shred down and become scared shitless! I’m walking away from this program so much happier than ever before. Also, the love for my lats and obliques is too real! Who knew I had these bad boys? I certainly didn’t!

You're the One Summer 2017

It’s official Summer is O-V-E-R and my favorite time of the year is here! Haidyn and I are beyond excited for this time of year. Summer has kept us extremely busy and I’m hoping that the end of the year will slow down just a little bit for us to do more at home. We’ve had such a great summer this year. We didn’t plan much of anything this summer, but of course we were slammed with things to do every single weekend. I think we spent 3 FULL weekends at home doing nothing. It’s rare that we’re sitting inside and doing nothing, but it was definitely nice to relax. Haidyn is at the age where she’s always on the go and excited for every holiday coming up. (I know that isn’t something that will change anytime soon. )

She was able to play at the park, skate parks and run wild and free at Hootsee and Papa’s most of the summer. Her curiosity has gotten the best of her most days as she’s gotten hurt from all of the exploring she’s done. I love this age with her because she understands what we’re doing and truly appreciates everything we’re doing this summer. Oddly, enough we never made it to the lake but Haidyn was completely content with the pool her Papa bought her.

This summer will always be different from the other summers as this was the first summer in about five years that Jon was able to come home. It was also the first time we got to see Jon twice in a year. It was also such a bittersweet summer as we lost Jonathan Matthew and his beautiful soul at the beginning of summer.  This will always be the summer that brought my family closer together and me so grateful for each and everyone of them. We spent a lot of time with family this summer and I wouldn’t have changed a damn thing. A lot of food and beer was consumed this summer all while we were surrounded by great people creating wonderful memories.

Until next time Summer!
 

September Meal Prep | Week Three- Whole 30 Challenge

It’s so exciting that we’re so close to Fall! This Friday Fall is OFFICIALLY among us and I cannot even contain myself. The foods we’re creating are slowly reflecting that too. We’re creating our menu based off of the produce that’s in season or whatever I see on the Food Network. J I love creating my own version of the delicious foods I see on TV or Pinterest. I’m actually forced to do it because we can’t have a lot of the ingredients since we are doing Whole 30. Here’s to our third week of Whole 30 and my last week of cutting carbs! We’re getting so freaking close to completing this challenge!
