Life Changing? Absolutely!

I recently posted on my facebook that I am a health coach for a fantastic program and that it has changed my life. I know when you hear things like this it is easy to think what a bunch of crap!  I have struggled with my weight going up and down since the 8th grade and I know it is a miserable feeling. I could never figure out how to get weight off and maintain it and after a few years I turned to not eating. I figured I rather not eat and lose weight then try to eat and keep fluctuating. I was barely surviving. But hey, at least I was skinny right?? No, that is not right. I eventually started eating again after much concern from my best friend and family members and when I did all the weight came back and then some. I never knew how to eat properly.  It wasn't until after I gave birth to Savannah and gained a lot of weight with my pregnancy that I was motivated to make a change. I didn't want a quick fix, I wanted to gain healthy eating habits for life and I wanted to be a good example to my daughter of how a healthy woman fuels her body and takes care of herself.  I had a few relatives who started this program and they just looked fabulous. There skin was glowing and they were extremely healthy. I decided to look into the program for myself and I fell in love with it within the first week. In just seven weeks I have lost 18lbs in a healthy manner and have lost 4 inches off my waist and 4 inches off my hips. More then the weight and the measurements, I feel healthy, energized, I sleep better and I feel like I have a glow. I have not been this passionate about something in so long that I had to payback this amazing program and become a coach. I know I can help people successfully drop 2 to 5 pounds per week and gain optimal health. Please contact me with any questions you have.

After 7 weeks on the program

O how time flies!

The past nine months have hands down been the most exciting of my life. Savannah is just the sweetest girl and brings so much joy to our lives. The past few weeks have been huge for her, she has started to "crawl, just today she started to pull up on things and SHE GOT HER FIRST TOOTH. The reason I say "crawl", is because she doesn't have it down 100% but she can get around with her army crawl/scooting, believe me. I am really in for it when she decides to finally take off.

 It really does get more fun the older your children get, but I still LOVE the baby stage. I miss when I was able to just cuddle her whenever. Nowadays she just wants to play so sitting still is rough lol. Savannah is starting to have favorites and it is so cute. Out of all the toys she has her two baby dolls are her favorite. She has one that is wearing a little cow costume and her face just lights up when I hand it to her. She also LOVES fruit, she always has but now is even more vocal about it,when she eats she goes "mmmmmmhhhmmmmm" . She is starting to get more interested in books which is very exciting, and sad for me, she is starting to get less interested in bows. It takes about five seconds for her to take one off after I put it on. Her absolute FAVORITE thing to do right now hands down, is sitting up. I put her on her belly and by the time I sit down, she is sitting up like a big girl. Now I think it is the cutest thing in the world but it has led to some hilarious nap times. I lay her down and she sits right up and sometimes we go back and forth at this for a while.

Just recently we had to take down her beloved swing because she decided she wanted to be an acrobat and she would hang her upper half off the side, so we switched it out with a jumperoo. My mom was able to find a nice lightly used one for her and as she says " its a lallapalooza of a toy!" That it is, I don't think I have ever seen so many things to look at on one toy and Savannah loves it.

 I cannot believe my little girl is going to be one in just a few short months. I am so thankful Cory and I have cherished her babyhood as much as we have because time goes by so fast. It has been a blast!
