Sunday I made orange 🍊 and cinnamon rolls with Sunday I made orange 🍊 and cinnamon rolls with my daughter (Britney) via video chat. They were so good!! 😋 But come Monday, I really didn’t need the ‘few extras’ laying around the house, so I did the unmentionable. That’s right, I took the few temptations, turned on the faucet and put them down the sink. I guess I could have froze them, like I have done before, but I think I may have just eaten them if I didn’t just “Do It!! 😳” A girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do 😉
When working towards a healthier lifestyle none of When working towards a healthier lifestyle none of us are perfect, me included. Be kind to yourself. Be forgiving of your mistakes. Whatever you are working towards, if you are giving it your best, you’re best is good enough. Remind yourself often that perfection is impossible to maintain. Instead, may I challenge you to become a little bit better today than you were yesterday, and to work on becoming a little bit better tomorrow, than you were today. Before you know it, you will be living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, in a healthy body with a healthy mind-set and that my friend is rewarding!! Become your best YOU!🥰 #babysteps #selfimprovement #imdeserving #healthyeating #healthyliving #bethebestyou #myhealthyexpress
Do you have 20/20 vision? I’m not talking about Do you have 20/20 vision? I’m not talking about your eyes, I’m talking about your mind and how you see today, tomorrow and visualize how things will be 5,10 & even 20 years from now. Life is hard, “STUFF” happens and at the most inconvenient times. We get up, sometimes just in time to be pushed right back down. So it can be easy to get discouraged and want to give up. But please don’t. Instead, take a moment to assess your current situation and be brutally honest with yourself. When things get “BLUE” do you loose all vision? Do you tend to act like a victim or a victor?” Let’s talk about the difference. A victim has little to no vision. They can’t seem to see past where they are right in that moment. It’s like they are stuck in “P” (park) and if they’re not careful they may be headed into “R”(reverse) 😳. On the other hand the Victor is a problem solver. Assessing and adjusting, thinking of how to get beyond this moment🧐. The victor is intentional about getting a clear vision of where they want to be. They have learned the ability to problem solve and take action👍😃 This is something that is learned. It takes lots and lots of practice. Every mistake I make or obstacle that falls in my path, I go into autopilot with these thoughts “ how am I going to get around it, over it or through it?” I don’t think about failing, I just think about the benefits of getting up. Don’t let the fear of failure stop you from seeing and believing what you are so capable and deserving of. Put your imaginary VISION GOGGLES on and SEE and BELIEVE that YOU can have better: a better future, better health, happier, more money, better circumstances, positive attitude more gratitude, more love, more support and the ability to succeed. Intentionally practice this today and .... REPEAT 😉 #visiongoggles #halfemptyorhalffull #intentionalliving #happyfuture #getup #believeinyourself #iamdeserving #healthyandhappy #myhealthyexpress
How do you keep your fresh herbs fresh? I am goin How do you keep your fresh herbs fresh? I am going to admit I don’t have a green thumb. My grandkids gave me 10 strawberry seeds and one by one they died. I bought a really nice plant for my front door and i either over watered it or didn’t water it enough. But C’mon....parsley and ciantro? This should be easy!! I have tried it in the fridge, in plastic, just in a wet paper towel , a dry paper towel and I have done the same on the counter... in a little water and no water at all. I even have tried talking nice to it 🥰 Nothing has worked 😢😫😭 What is your “keep it fresh” secret? Please share 😃 #nogreenthumb #freshherbs #pleasehelp #myhealthyexpress #trytryagain
NICE PROGRESS!! This weight graph belongs to one o NICE PROGRESS!! This weight graph belongs to one of my clients (“that’s right, you know who you are 😉👍”). He has lost just as many inches as he has pounds and is almost at his 3/4 mark. But let’s not forget his non-scale victories. He went to the doctor yesterday and his doctor was so impressed 😃 He noticed his weight loss and was pleased to tell him his lab results had improved greatly 👍👍 This client says he is on the last notch of his belt and it feels good to wear slim shirts tucked in. Most of all, this client wanted to set a good example for his kids and he is doing just that! You may not know who this is... but maybe you could send him a congrats or a high five for a job well done 👍 I promise you, it will make him feel so good!! 🙌🥳 🎉 #jobwelldone #healthyliving #Weightloss #fatloss #nonscalevictories #proudofyou #myhealthyexpress

It’s Fantasy Football time and we just had our d It’s Fantasy Football time and we just had our draft. It was so much fun, probably the funnest draft I’ve had yet. It was a day of games, sweet, competition and laughter. Thank you Dillon Judd for being the BEST commissioner!! You really know how to throw a party!! It’s time someone else be the loser. This year I plan to knight some other poor loser with the last place plunger trophy. This year I plan to get me one of those big gaudy Championship rings!! 💎 rings. = #1🏆 #grammasgotgame #fantasyfootball #familyfun #fantasyfootball #familyfun
Sit-up Saturday!! This morning I slept in a bit an Sit-up Saturday!! This morning I slept in a bit and started the day running a bit behind. It would have been REALLY easy to say “I’ll just skip my exercise today” or “I’ll get it in later for sure”. But I know me. I have a better rate of success if I keep to my schedule and get it done in the morning. So today, I just kind of rolled out of bed and got ‘er done! I may not have my teeth brushed and I may not be in my exercise gear but at least I’m not in my knickers 😳🤣. This morning I chose to do the routine on the next slide ➡️ and it felt great!!! #situpsaturday #abworkout #getfit #homegym #myhealthyexpress

Is it hard for you to pass up on birthday cake or Is it hard for you to pass up on birthday cake or to make healthy choices at parties? Last week I was in this situation and this is how I handled it. #1. I decided before hand whether I was going to be good or not (remember it’s always a choice). In this case I chose to stay on. #2. I was lucky because they had a salad bar but there were plenty of temptations mixed with healthy toppings. So I chose healthy. Then I asked the hostess if she happened to have some balsamic or seasoned vinegar I could use as salad dressing and she was more than happy to help. #3. I passed up on bread and butter. In fact, I tried not to even look at it for fear that I would start salivating😅 #4. After singing happy birthday they cut the cake and started passing out slices. When they handed me a piece I just passed it on. I had a matcha ready to go so I had something to sip on. Someone asked why I wasn’t having cake. And I confidently replied “I appreciate the offer and it looks mighty good but I am going to have to pass. I’m trying to be more healthy and would love your support! So don’t let me cave in... alright?😉” We played games, we laughed, we told stories and built friendships. I never felt deprived in fact I felt pretty good about following through 🙌 #itsyourchoice #healthyliving #nothanksimgood #myhealthyexpress

What am I doing in my closet? Haha!! Believe it or What am I doing in my closet? Haha!! Believe it or not, I just finished working out 🏋️‍♀️ That’s right. Call me crazy but I’ve turned my little closet into my own personal workout space and when I need a little more floor room, I step into my bathroom. I’ve got lots of mirrors, I use the side of my bathtub to get in some really good leg stretching and my weights, resistance bands and weighted medicine ball are lined up and ready to be used. Its like my own little personal gym cave!!😃 My point is, It doesn’t take a lot of room to get the job done. Lucky for you I was dressed this morning...often times I’m not 🙈 I like the convenience of home, I like the time I save, I like the privacy while I am working at strengthening my back and getting back into shape (I’m sure some of you can relate) and I love being able to step right into the shower. For me... it’s PERFECT!! ❤️ And this has nothing to do with anything... but tomorrow I leave for Korea!!! And I’m freak’n EXCITED!!! 😃
I haven’t posted much because I was embarrassed I haven’t posted much because I was embarrassed I wouldn’t be able to inspire with my regression that has taken place this last year. Somehow I hurt my self last fall and my recent MRI says I ended up with a few bulging discs. So many of my clients have this as well, including my son who has 6!! I just didn’t know how limiting it was until I was put to the test. It’s tough starting over after an injury. My brain says I should be able to do burbees, pushups and sit-ups when my lower back is screaming “ take it slow” and my physical therapist concurs. Getting back into shape after muscles have atrophied take time and consistency and may be humbling. But being humbled usually opens your eyes to a different perspective (at least it has with me) and that new perspective, I believe will make me a better coach. So this is me being accountable to you.. Ab and Core Workout 🏋️‍♀️ ✅ and 1 qt of water 💦 is down the hatch!! ✅ #humbledcoach #babysteps #takenitslow #myhealthyexpress
