I’m in awe really of how many people are wanting me to help them get their lives on track as far as weight loss and healthy living goes! I want to help as many people as I can with this!!! I think I know what I want to become. Once I become fit enough and possibly when Katie starts preschool, I really feel like I want to train to become a personal trainer. I want to help people change their lives and I know I would be excellent at it because I’m already helping friends and family now!! Just by giving the advice and tips I’m giving now, I can be helping people already change their lives! Because that’s what life is all about.. being happy and active!

Thinking about all this made me reflect on my own life. HOW BLESSED AM I!!! I have a WONDERFUL husband and the kind of marriage and relationship I literally only DREAMED of! A beautiful baby girl who keeps me striving to stay motivated so I can be healthy and keep up with her and to set that example as she gets older. Our apartment.. I feel so blessed to have this awesome 2-story apartment that is so lovely! To have food in our house and clothes to keep us warm. I’ve said this before but TO HAVE MY OWN HOME GYM! That’s insane! Another thing I only DREAMED of!!! WHY after getting this equipment that was GIVEN to us would I just let it sit there to collect dust?! NO WAY, I’m gonna put it to the best use I can! Most of all, I am blessed to have a relationship with God and Jesus Christ. Keeps me positive, hopeful and motivated to pray and know that I’m being guided in every step I take in this life. I feel so alive and literally… this is the best and healthiest I’ve been in my entire life. There’s NO WAY I’m going back to the way I was and to hang onto this new healthy lifestyle because there is nothing better. Last night after playing badminton with Brad, I thought back to February of this year and that was the last time we had played badminton and I just remember how out of breath I got just from playing only a little while and then I think of last night. I was running around hitting the birdie and not even getting 1 time out of breath and I was RUNNING. I’m so proud of myself because I’m DOING IT. My life and body are changing for the better! I want to remember today. How Brad was sitting in the chair this morning listening to his mp3 player. How Katie is finally learning to hold up her sippy cup. How the STUPID stain on my shorts won’t seem to come out now matter how much stain remover or wash cycles I try! How I felt so powerful on that treadmill today and how the blister on my toe from running didn’t even faze me. How pretty the day has been… with a handful of fluffy clouds in the blue sky and the sunshine beaming all day long.

I’M SO HAPPY IT’S JUNE! Summer is my FAVORITE time of year and now that June is here, I feel… JUST AWESOME! As Brad left for work this morning, I took a look outside and It FELT like summer and It brought a big smile to my face. Today has been so awesome and I have a feeling this whole week and whole SUMMER is gonna be one to never forget. Earlier today while on that treadmill, I could definetly tell my body is getting stronger. It makes me beyond happy to now be able to interval jog for an HOUR! 🙂

Listen up my friends, ANYONE can do this! I’m just your average girl who wanted to lose weight and I just put my will power and motivation into high gear and It lead me to where I am today! Just know that I am willing to help whoever out there would like my help so don’t be afraid to ask for tips and advice!

Have a great evening 🙂
