3 years ago, life felt like a free for all. I didn't know what day it was, what time it was, if I ate or not, etc. Then we got into a routine, and I was exercising, we were walking daily, I was in what I thought was a solid place with my stomach and figuring out what foods I could eat without issue. I thought I was good. I wasn't good. I just didn't know it, because I was so far from good, that being even just a little bit less not-good, seemed like a big deal. Then October 2020 came, and I was DONE. I was exhausted from everything - managing my kids, managing my food and the kids' food, being home all the time, dealing with school from home, all of it - it was wearing me down. I was fine getting through the day, but by the time the evening rolled around, my brain power was gone. I can't imagine my life continuing that way. It could have - and I wouldn't even know any different. I'd still think I was good. But, I am so glad it changed. I am so glad *I* changed. I am so grateful I made a choice to put my health as a priority and to focus on ME. Losing 60 pounds in 4.5 months, and (mostly) maintaining that since, has changed my life - my health, my energy, my sleep, my finances, everything. I’m at the tail end of taking meds that affect my hormones and therefore my body in ways that do not make me happy, so I’m excited to refocus on ME the next few weeks and see where I can get myself! I've spent my entire adult life taking care of other people - and forgetting to take care of myself. Turns out, when I take care of myself, I'm a better ME for everyone else - and I have more to give, more to share, and more love to spread. Now I pay the goodness forward as a coach, and help others find their health. Plus there's a $75 savings right now when you choose to commit to your health! I’d love to share it with you. It's been a heck of a couple years, and I'm pretty darn proud of myself 🥰 #NotADiet #HabitsOfHealth #LifelongTransformation #Optavia #Optavia5and1 #OptaviaResults #HealthyLifestyle #OptaviaTransformation #MyJourneyToAHealthyMe #WeightLossJourney #WeightLossTransformation (at Greensboro, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIbv59O8rK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of my mentors shared this…in case someone else needs to hear it.❤️ Kristen (in the photo below) said: If I had a dollar for everyone who has said something negative about me being so obsessed with this health program…. Seriously. It’s almost comical. And I always find out because someone trusted someone else & then I get told “well people may be getting annoyed with your posts, people are just tired of hearing how peoples lives have changed because of a “diet”.” Folks avoid me. Especially the ones who can’t stop drinking wine. I also get avoided by those who have “tried” program 4 times and chosen to fail. Guess what?? Y’all are my people. Y’all are the ones who I want to scream confidence into. I was you. I talked about people because I didn’t love myself. In fact, that’s the only reason people bad mouth others. They don’t love themselves enough & aren’t brave enough to live authentically and give up the things keeping them stuck. I WAS YOU. My ego ran the show. Not Ego we associate with arrogance, but the ego that subconsciously has you believing you are a failure and can’t succeed. That ego kept me gossiping. That ego kept me overspending. That ego kept me drinking a half a bottle of wine a night. That ego thought chips & margaritas were the key to her missing happiness. That ego kept me settling for less than I could achieve. I pray every morning that one person decides to make changes & get healthy. Please trust me & know that I’ve been where you are & you can get the weight off. When I watched other people taking their life back, I became defensive because they became the mirror for what I was & I didn’t like that mirror❤️ I’m here to encourage & be strong for you - especially when you feel alone, discouraged, and weak. I will cheer you on and help you learn new habits. I will believe in you, until you believe in yourself. Let’s do this.

Spinach and Pepper Jack Breakfast Burrito 😋 2 servings / 25 mins Ingredients For the Tortillas: 2 eggs 4 egg whites 2 Tbsp whole flax seeds Cooking spray For the Filling: 1 cup shredded, reduced-fat pepper jack cheese 2 cups baby spinach, loosely chopped For the Salsa: 1 cup diced tomatoes ½ cup diced bell pepper 1 jalapeno pepper, diced 1 Tbsp chopped red onion 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tsp balsamic vinegar 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro Directions 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the tortilla 2. Heat a small skillet over medium high heat and lightly grease with cooking spray. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, and swirl to evenly distribute the eggs on the surface, forming a thin, tortilla- or crepe-like shape. Cook for a couple of minutes until the edges and bottom of the tortilla are firm. Tilt the skillet from side to side to make sure eggs are no longer runny. Gently loosen the tortilla from the surface with a spatula, and carefully flip. Continue to cook until eggs are fully set. Repeat with the other half of the tortilla mixture. Set tortillas aside when finished. 3. Lightly grease the same skillet, and sauté the spinach 2 to 3 minutes, or until wilted, over low to medium high heat. When done, remove from heat and set aside. 4. Combine all of the salsa ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. 5. Place tortilla on a large plate. Add half of the spinach, cheese, and salsa to the middle, and then roll into a burrito. Serve immediately. Tip: To secure the shape of your burrito, wrap aluminum foil around the bottom half of the tortilla after stuffing.

Maybe you like to keep a secret. I understand. Both my friends and I have lost weight before; I didn’t wanna share I didn’t wanna talk about it. But then I felt so much better and the community of accountability is so wonderful. Like a whole new group of besties!  And God always speaks during seasons of change! So now as with everything else that has happened in my life, I’m gonna share this journey as well. But if you don’t want anyone else to know you are going to try this journey I will keep your secret and be your best encourager/coach till you are ready to tell others. #iwanttobeyourhealthcoach #itisnosecretwhatgodcando #healthyjourney #optavia5and1 Best of all I will pray for you like my coach has prayed for me. You CAN do this. Past tries don’t count. Today is a new day. https://www.instagram.com/p/CghKzY1rQYk4vNtiqmcYv0p5BJqOAwHT5rmEWI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
