She believed she could, so she did

Oh this little saying..."She Believed she could, so she did."  I was gifted this saying on a plaque around the time I graduated with my Master's degree and boy was it true.  The road to my Master's degree was rocky, it was ugly at times but what an amazing adventure! 
After 7 years, taking 1 semester off, receiving a BA in Psychology, a BS in Health Science, a minor in Social Responsibility, I had done it. I accepted my Master of Occupational Therapy in the spring of 2006. I bet you are reading this and thinking...this is not a normal post for this health and fitness blog, BUT it is part of my story.  

I set out in the fall of 1999 with a dream of becoming an Occupational Therapist. I had no idea how I was going to get there but I was going to follow the steps set out by my University and believe in myself that I would get there.  
I struggled.
I failed.
I quit a class or two.
I re-enrolled in those classes.
I took summer classes.
I re-focused.
I trusted the process.
I worked hard.
I believed I could.
I entered the professional phase of OT school.
I made Dean's list.
I graduated and it was all SOO worth it. 

Each struggle leads to triumph, each fail leads to learning, each slip-up leads to blinders on, focus and DO IT!! 

Hard things are possible.  We can do hard things. Sometimes it just requires a step back to re-focus, re-evaluate and keep on, keepin' on.
This applies to so many things in life and especially to my current journey with my health and fitness goals.  I know there are some women out there who can relate and I just wanted to give you a pep talk, be that person that tells you, you CAN do this! It is possible! 

Are you seeking motivation to take that leap into making your health a priority? I would love to help! I love motivating others, helping them get started in their health and fitness journey and seeing them transform their physical, mental and emotional well being through fitness and nutrition!!!

Wow, it's going to be a big month! So I have had my weeks beach vacation with my amazing family, it did not quite look like this but it was refreshing and relaxing!  I am back home now and back to my normal routine and ready to buckle down!! Big goals to conquer!

First, you have probably heard of the 21 day fix and 21 day fix extreme and I am SO happy to say they are ON SALE this month when purchased with Shakeology....AND I am offering a special deal when purchased before months end!! I have had a few people ask me what the difference is between the 21 day fix and the 21 day fix extreme. Here you are, take a look! They are both amazing programs and will give you fabulous results so you really cannot go wrong with either.  If you are ready to get started, click here and fill out the form to join me on July 20th.

 3 NEW RELEASES in JULY!!!

FIXATE, a brand new cookbook created by Autumn Calabrese who is the creator of the 21 day fix will launch on July 14th. This cookbook will feature 21 day fix approved recipes and further take the guessing out of meal prep.  The color-coded portion control container system is applied to 101 of Autumn's family favorite recipes. There will be nutrition facts along with color-coded container equivalents.  Paleo, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian recipes will be included and it will be a great addition to anyone's kitchen!

CIZE...the end of exercise

Where are my Shawn T fans? He has done it again! Shaun T has created programs including Insanity, Insanity Max 30, T25  and Hip Hop abs and is about to bust a move with his newest fitness program CIZE and I would love to have you in my next challenge group and complete the whole program with me! I am NOT a dancer, that is for sure--another reason why I love working out at home--I can bust a move, feel like I am the best dancer EVER and get a great sweat while watching Shawn T...sign me up!!!  I have been able to test out this program within Beachbody on Demand and it is A BLAST!!
