I’m dishing out the tough love today. I hope you’re ready for it. Do you get ticked off when people let you down. Are you disappointed when people don’t honor their commitments and promises to you? Now ask yourself this: you are dropping the ball on the commitments you promises you make to yourself? Do you get wishy-washy and lack follow through? Watch the video and give yourself an honest self-assessment. Here is your kick in the pants for you to raise the bar. It’s time to achieve more. Do it for yourself.
I took a much needed break from posting recently, but I’m back at it now and feeling refreshed. Pics in the video are from my Instagram. Be sure to follow me there! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. xoxo

April 4, 2017 at 4:34 pmStraight with no chaser, huh? I’ve been battling with this issue for many years. Part of the problem is that my overall health is good. My weight isn’t an issue with my doctors. I give myself mixed messages about my desire to exercise and eat right as being for vanity purposes. It used to be, like back in the day when my only concern was belly fat after the birth of my first child. Twenty years later, it’s beyond that. Now I’m dealing with the over 40 weight gain! Now my 21 daughter is my new inspiration. She is awesome with holding herself accounatable

April 4, 2017 at 4:42 pmI’m doing some self-talk to ensure myself that it’s okay to work hard for a great shaped body. I’m not a sedentary person, besides the hours I sit at a desk. But even then, I walk over lunch and try to get up and move throughout the day. However, what I do is not enough to get my body in the shape that I want it to be.I make the decision and then my wonderful husband brings me sweet treats at night! I know I can’t blame him for bringing the treats. It’s up to me to not eat them or ask him to bring me healthy treats.But, oh, how I do like those chocolately delights? Of course, you’re right, though. It’s time to put up or shut up. No one can do this for me and I don’t have to keep sitting on the sidelines watching others achieve their goals while making excuses for not achieving my own. Thanks for inspiring me. And I will be watching this video frequently.

May 19, 2017 at 7:03 amThank you so much for your tips! You look phenomenal. I agree that reading health and fitness magazines keeps you motivated – it’s like a constant reminder that I am on a mission to get fit and lose weight. One thing that I found was not helpful was continuing to count calories throughout several years. I found myself miserable constantly looking at how many calories certain foods had. I think that after a few months of counting, it’s best to use your own judgement and approximate rather than be super-strict. After all, happiness is our priority 🙂

September 14, 2017 at 2:11 pmInspirational, just at the beginning of my journey and I am holding very loose goals “be better than the average you were a month ago. One caveat is that a person should have high expectations of themselves, but they shouldnt beat themselves up if they full off the wagon, just get back on and carry on.
