Whoa Whoa Whoa.. we ARE still alive!!

So it probably seems as if we have fallen off the face of the earth and it seems we kind of have done so. SORRY 1001x!

So here is the update since January for me -> Janey

Since my last post life has been crazy busy. My husband called with a few days notice informing me he was deploying within a matter of days and a month early. I went through a roller coaster of emotions and stresses. The first week I wallowed in my sorrows not knowing how to function without him. The second week I got angry feeling alone, and basically ungrateful. As this vicious cycle started I lost slight track of all of my goals and stopped working out which I was doing religiously before my life spiraled out of control. I came back into contact with my personal trainer I was working with when Kylan left for basic training. (She has been a godsend during this deployment!! -> Michele Jamison <- Check her out!!!!) Anyways. With the new partnership with my massage business and her personal training business, { Gym at Begin Again Fit For Life} I decided I needed to stop tiptoeing around the obvious and admit I had no will power to follow through with consistent and necessary workouts on my own. I started training with Michele on March 20th.  Let me tell you I thought I was going to die! The results and journey alone have been amazing. With each work out I feel a new level of accomplishment. I feel a little bit closer to my goal. Through balancing of schedules, clients, motherhood, marriage, housekeeping, and studying I look forward to that time in the gym to escape. This is the new direction I am taking this part of my blogging experience. I will share my struggles, my triumphs, my success, and my moments of weakness. I will show you my progress from my all time heaviest, and emotionally/mentality worst this time last year to now and to through the future.  I will share with you that I am not just someone who gets to eat what I want, do what I want, or sit on my butt when I want. This journey has now become a lifestyle change. Nothing more nothing less. I will post photos tomorrow of all the comparisons and measurements thus far and I will gladly share with you any advice or questions as you experience this with me. Just know, it is never too late to do this. There is a woman at the gym who I idolize, she has a body I would love and she is one of the most humble human beings I have come across. She went through her own journey and looks amazing. Being 2x my age I love working out next to her because she drives me to keep on pushing when I want to give up and that is what I want to do for you. The most important thing is, find the determination to change for only yourself. Once you can do that you will find it is much easier to fight for something you want. Sweet dreams my friends and I look forward to start new with you all and my new journey -xo

    1. Nicola, thank you so very much. It is a struggle everyday, which I will be sharing about shortly but I think that is what I want to share the most with people, it doesn't happen overnight.

    1. Thank you for much, and thank you for you and your family's sacrifices as well as service. It is never an easy road and it has its trying moments but I could not be more proud of my husband for all he does and of my son for as strong as he is at such a young age. (:
