The Day Before Day 1

So... one day... someone... somewhere... is going to invent the All You Can Stuff Your Face With zero calorie completely Non Genetically Modified All Natural cookie dough, ice cream, chocolate pretzels, crinkle chips and onion dip that all taste exactly like the Genetically Modified Packaged Junk. Oh, and did I mention that when we consume this soon to be invented creation of holiness, it will also be formulated in such ways that our bodies transform its' nutrients into Jessica Biel arms and Katy Perry legs.

But, until that day, exercise and good nutrition shall be my forte.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a young mom of 3 kids, all under the age of 5. Life has become crazy exciting and honestly seems to be getting better and better at each plot twist! Happily Married and Pleasantly Annoyed Daily to this gentleman...

No, this is not Charlie Hunnam 

And we just woke up one day a few days ago, looked at each other and basically said, "Wow, we've gotten fluffy!" And I'm tired of being 'fluffy'. Am I overweight? no Am I diabetic, anorexic, have a life or death issue that depends on me making a healthy lifestyle change? no

But I am fluffy. I am a mom who has lost herself in the laundry, the doctor appointments, the cooking, dentist appointments, the mom-he-wont-stop-looking-at-me's, lasagna on the kitchen ceiling (like, what the hell), terrible twos, terrible threes, bath time, cuddle time, laughing/crying/mourning/rejoicing all at the same time because it's bedtime.

And I am ready to take it on! To take on having the body I've always wanted, feeling beautiful inside and out, and having the energy to do it all! I feel like sometimes as mothers we get caught up in giving so much of ourselves to our children, partner, extended family, neighbors, community, jobs... just to name a few... and we don't take moments every single day to Resharpen the Saw as Stephen Covey would call it. Just a lil zen time to recharge and rejuvenate. Call me crazy but I actually think this could one of the most Win Win Self LESS thing we could do!

Think about it... when your glass is empty, how can you give water to someone else's glass?

But when your glass is full of water, it's much easier to share what you have with others! Your cup is full and begins to overflow with an abundance of blessings so now there is a whole new level of life to go around! A Win Win for everyone! 

Bottom Line I am excited to see how following through with my health and fitness goals for next 90 days is going to ripple into the other areas of my life! I want to see first hand how 'filling my own cup' can multiply the abundance in my life and the lives around me!

For my First Challenge, I am getting up at 7:30am in the morning and starting out my day on a Powerful note! (Core 4! Stay tuned for future blogs on Core 4 and how it creates Power and transformation in finances, health, relationships, and spirituality! I lalalove it)

Waking up at 7:30am might seem like a small, simple thing. And well... that's because it is!

Let the journey begin!!!!
