I get asked all the time, how I am able to workout with 5 little boys at home.

Well, most mornings, I wake up before the boys to get it in but some mornings (like today) this little guy woke up early.

So, one thing that works for me, is I give them little activities to do while I workout. It doesn't always look like this and somedays if they are all up, I need to pause and break up fights and modify my workout BUT it's OK.

Not every workout will be perfect but a workout nonetheless is better than no workout at all.

So remember that today!!!! And remember, you can do hard things!!!

What do your kids do while you are working out?

I was always looking for quality results in the discount section.

I wanted to lose the weight, feel better and have more energy but I wasn't willing to pay for it.

I joined free groups, searched for nutrition plans on Pinterest and bought a ton of $5 workout DVDs in the discounted section of Walmart.

But nothing worked.

Then I was invited to join a challenge group that would include everything I needed. Top of the line workouts, excellent nutrition and supplements and support and accountability but you guessed it, I declined.

Why?

Because I didn't want to pay the money. If I knew now what my $180 investment would have done for me, I would have paid double many times over.
But, you don't know until you know. I finally jumped in and the rest is history!

Now, I'm on my fourth postpartum journey using this approach. Has it been easy?

Not at all.

As moms, it's hard to push yourself out of bed when you've been up in the night. It's hard to stay out of the pantry and sneak sweets. It's hard to workout when you just want to nap.

But you know what's harder?

Being tired all the time. Having no energy. Not feeling your greatest.

So, I've made a decision. I will take the hard. I will work. I will commit to showing up and I'm ready to do this with you if you ready! My passion is working along side other moms and working on our goals together.

So, let's do this! I'm just one message away!

Are you ready!!?

My problem was that I was constantly making excuses to make myself feel better.

🤦‍♀️ I'm too busy.
🤦‍♀️ I can do it on my own.
🤦‍♀️ I don't have any extra money to purchase anything.
🤦‍♀️ Nothing worked in the past, so this won't either.
🤦‍♀️ I don't have time.
🤦‍♀️ I refuse to drink any type of "shake".

And on and on the excuses went. And I just continued to do my own thing. I figured I could just use cheap workout DVDs from Walmart or Google free workouts on YouTube. And I figured I could just use a cheap alternative protein shake and it would be all good.

Except it wasn't.

I didn't get results. I didn't have a community to work with. And I continued to start strong on Monday and quit within 3 days. Then another Monday would roll around and I would start the cycle over again.

Until I finally went all in and truly committed. I spent the money on the total solution pack (because I knew if I spent the money I would have to use it rather than finding everything for free). It meant I had skin in the game.

And finally, the results came. I had more energy. I felt better and I ended up losing my postpartum weight.

7 years later, I'm still here and using the same tools I used before for my current postpartum journey.

Why not commit to your health this season!? Stop with the excuses and join me! You won't be disappointed! The workouts are quick, the nutrition plan is doable and our community is amazing!

Registration is OPEN for our November Wellness group!!!! Get your pack now with one of my personalized promo codes and let's do this together!

I felt lost.

I was only 3 months postpartum and felt like I should have been so much further along.

Too many times, our society puts pressure on postpartum moms to "bounce back" after having a baby.

Now let me be clear, I was NOT feeling pressure from anyone to lose the postpartum weight after having our second son, nor do I feel pressure now after our fifth son to lose the weight in a certain amount of time.

I am on this journey to become stronger, healthier and to have more energy to keep up with my boys.

So please, don't let anyone make you feel less than or not good enough. If there is one thing I've learned along the way is you need to enjoy the journey. You need to love your body how it is right now. Not when you lose 50lbs, not when you are leaner or have built stronger muscles. Love where you are at!!!!

You will hit your goals eventually! Decide that you are really going to do this, make a commitment to yourself and then show up everyday! And most importantly, be patient. The change will not happen overnight!

I'm rooting for you! You've got this! 💜💜💜

We used to live a block away from a 711.

In the evenings, (on days when I actually made it to the gym), after the boys were down, I remember asking Hugh to go down to the 711 and bring me back some gummies, chips and chocolate bars.

Then I would settle in for the evening with my junk food and watch mindless TV.

You see, I had it in my head that because I went to the gym that morning, I could reward myself with junk food.

It was a routine cycle that I just couldn't break.

I knew I needed to lose the postpartum weight but was never able to stick to anything. I was your classic, "starter" but never finisher.

Until I was invited by my mentor to an online challenge group. I had no idea what it was and I was definitely skeptical about the shakes (there was no way I was sticking to them) but I saw her results and I figured if she could do it and it worked, I would give it a try.

Well, here I am over 7 years later with 5 busy boys and 4 months postpartum and I feel my absolute strongest, healthiest and happiest.

All because I gave it a shot. It was the best $160 investment I made in myself and I would pay triple that if I knew what this amazing journey would end up becoming.

So, what are you waiting for? Are you ready to join me? I will be here with you every step of the way!

This month, our theme is, "Believe in Your Brave" and we are stepping out of our comfort zone and pushing each other to hit our goals! It was only when I gave up my excuses, jumped in scared and decided to really commit, that the results started to come!

If you'd like more info, I'm one message away!

My boys have grown up watching me workout from home.

It's something that has become part of our daily routine and on days I don't workout, they ask me why.

They know that Mommy works out to become stronger and healthier.

But it wasn't always like this.

After our second son, I was 3 months postpartum and knew I needed a change. I had tried so many approaches in the past from gym memberships, personal trainers and free workouts from YouTube but nothing lasted long term.

Until I became a coach and was given the ultimate form of accountability. I figured if I was a coach, I would have to workout because it would be part of my job!

And guess what!?!

It worked! It hasn't been easy and it takes hard work and commitment but it can be done.

And thankfully, I have my little workout buddies to cheer me on and keep me on track too!

Why do you workout!? What keeps you going on days you don't want to show up?

1 week until we ride!!!!!!

I snuck away this morning for a 40km ride in the beautiful sunshine. It definitely wasn't easy but felt great to get out.

I'm still not sure how I'm going to double this distance and a bit more on each day but somehow I will.

Thank you ALL for the generous donations to MS. It means so much! I've surpassed my goal of $500 and am now aiming for $1000. Every dollar counts!!!!! If you want to sponsor me and donate to MS just click the link!

Thank you SOOOOO much!!!!!!

I remember lying in bed watching Hallmark Christmas movies and crying.

Christmas was always my favourite time of year, but not this particular year.

We had just suffered our 5th miscarriage and I was heartbroken. I don't think I left my bed for 3 days. I sat in the dark eating junk and watching movies to escape the pain.

I had gained weight, like I was supposed to when I'm pregnant but now had to lose the pregnancy weight but this time without having a baby. It's hard to even put into words how that feels.

But, thanks to the amazing support and love of my close family and friends, I got out of bed. I moved forward. I healed. I don't think they know just how much their love and kindness helped me but even today when I think of that time, I am so very grateful.

My close family and friends were not the only ones enveloping me in love. At the time, not many people knew but my small community of coaches on my team knew. I reached out to them and they poured into me. They sent me messages of love, offered to step up in our challenge groups and lead while I couldn't. Many of these ladies, I had never met but they had my back.

That's how it is with this community. We met online and have formed such amazing friendships. We lean on each other on hard days and celebrate on the good days. It's a community I am forever grateful for.

I joined this opportunity to lose weight and get a discount on the products and 7 years later I have completely transformed. My mindset is better, I'm healthier and I'm so much more confident. All because I decided to jump and not look back.

Has it been easy? Of course not but the work has been so worth it. I can't even imagine where I would be now if I continued to give into fear and say no.

Thankfully, I don't have to worry about that.

Have you felt a nudge to do this too? Are you curious? If so, we need to chat. This community could be exactly what you need too!

This morning, the sun was shining, the boys were all still sleeping and I had just fed baby and he was back to sleep.

I quietly, slipped out of the house and jumped on my bike. What I intended to be about a 15km ride ended up being 31 and let me tell you, when I hit kilometer 19 I had some serious negative self talk going through my head.

"I can't do this."

"This is just too hard."

"My body hurts."

"How in the world am I going to bike just under 190km over 2 days???"

"I just don't think I can."

So how did I keep myself going when all I wanted to do was quit?

I flipped my thinking and instead thought about how it's actually a blessing to be able to cycle. To have an able body that I can move. So many, sadly, are unable to cycle.

But I can.

So I will.

Was it still hard? Absolutely? Am I still nervous about doing the 2 day ride in 2 weeks? Yes!

But I am blessed. So I will continue to move and continue to pray for all those struggling with MS in their lives. To me, they are the true inspiration.

Also, thank you ALL for the very generous donations! If you'd still like to sponsor me and donate to this very great cause, simply click on the link!

Thank you!!!!!

To the mom who thinks she's not good enough.

To the mom who's struggling to get through the day and wondering if she will ever get this mom thing right.

To the mom who wakes up every morning and puts a smile on her face but inside she's hurting.

To the mom who is so tired and counts the minutes down until bedtime.

To the mom who feels like all the other moms are crushing it and doing a better job.

Remember this.

You only see one side of the story. You only see the outward appearance and the highlight reels. But, somewhere out there, another mom is looking at you and thinking the same thing. She's thinking and wishing she had it altogether.

You may be going through a hard time right now and you may feel like you are failing but please know this, you aren't.

You are exactly what your kids need and even when you don't feel like it....

You are enough.

I had been cycling for just over an hour and my right foot started to tingle and go numb.

This always happens when I'm on my bike for long durations and even though it hurts and is quite uncomfortable, I don't complain.

Why?

Because I know things could be a lot worse. My pain will go away after a couple days but for those living with MS they live with the pain on a daily basis.

Whenever I train and cycle in the MS Bike, I am completely humbled and overcome with so many emotions.

My dear friend lives with MS and is such an inspiration. She has been biking the route for 20 years and she is the reason I cycle.

In just over 2 weeks, I will jump on my bike again (after a couple years off) and bike just under 190km over 2 days. We are raising money for MS and if you are able, it would be so greatly appreciated if you could donate to this amazing cause. My goal is to raise $500!!!

Thank you so much for everyone who has donated already! It means so much!
