THIS. TAKES. TIME. No gimmicks, no quick tricks, no crash diets, no shakes 3 times a day, no pills or magic potions. Learn to love the process, learn from the setbacks, and LOVE YOUR **** SELF, do not allow society to decide your worth!

If you forget your Fitbit, does the workout still count? Answer...ALWAYS! Loving the Strong Curves program by Bret Contreras, it's an excellent full body workout with emphasis on building that booty!!

This is why progress photos are so critical - you may not feel like your body is changing but it is. There is an 18 month - 10 pound difference in these photos!! Keep moving forward!!

Small daily changes make for huge long term successes! I am not where I want to be - but I will never go back to where I began!!

140's baby!!! Mama's gonna need some new clothes soon - things are starting to fall and hang off of me now!!

Does it make me badass to do both - strapped on a 50# backpack and knocked out 30 minutes on the stairmill!! Legs were on fire!!

Nothing like starting the week off with a killer leg workout - who knew that one day this gal would LOVE leg day instead of dread it?!?!?

My hands may be full of calluses, my body full of contact hickeys, and I may sweat like a big beefy dude while lifting - but I have never felt more confident and beautiful!!

Monday Funny - made me giggle!! :-)

Never would have thought that I would be one who was excited about leg day - but I actually look forward to it and enjoy the pain it brings! Pain = Growth

Hell yes I am!!

So...in the shower last night with the hubby and I have my back to him while washing my hair and he says "damn woman, you're back is more defined then mine!!!" Absolutely made me grin from ear to ear!!! #COUPLESTHATLIFTTOGETHERSTAYTOGETHER

This right here is the most relaxing part of my day - no one can touch me or shake me - this is my time!!

You never realize how much something helps you physically and mentally until you break routine for several days!! I was back in the gym today after 4 days off and already feel better!!

This right here!! It ain't about achieving someone else's body image - it's making my temple the most bada$$ it can be!!

#Truth

This is the story of my life - no matter how good my intentions are and prepared I am - I just cannot seem to make this happen! #MorningsSuck #JustNeedCoffeeFirst

Gonna get her done!

#GOALS - is this not sexy as hell!!!

Going to slay some legs today folks!!!

This couldn't be more true!!! Feeling pretty proud and happy for a fellow co-worker who is just starting their fitness/healthy lifestyle journey!!!

And don't you forget it!! #SPARKLEON

Get Some!!
