EXCITED👐 . So I stepped on the scale this morning... I know I know, scales are meanie heads😝 . But when I first started my health/fitness journey my ultimate goal was to weigh the same as I did before I got pregnant with my last daughter. . That was 136 pounds. You know what was funny?? When I signed up for my FIRST bootcamp last July, I honestly thought I should be able to go from 195 pounds down to 136 pounds in 21 days!🖓🖓 . I am sure you would love if that was possible, just like I thought I would! But here I am finally hitting my 136 pound mark as of this morning. And honestly look at the difference! . The LEFT picture- me two years ago at 136 lbs. . The RIGHT picture- me last night at give or take 136 lbs. . The moral of my post is so many times, we, including myself want something to happen so quickly. We want that QUICK fix. But honestly now I have realized I am so happy I did get it. . Would you rather: . 1. Loose the weight fast, but still look at yourself in the mirror everyday thinking your fat, you need to loose more weight, or you just find something else to complain about yourself... . Or . 2. Loose the weight over time, become healthier, meet amazing new friends, learn to LOVE yourself just the way you are, and even better look at yourself in the mirror one day, and say, "I freaking did it"!!👐 . Which would you choose.?

Multitasking👐 . So my daughter wanted to workout with me this morning. So I said sure! . Then this happened😂 . She can't just workout with mommy. Peppa Pig is on her kindle so she props her kindle up against the tv and proceeds to workout and watch her show at the same time. . I wish I had her multitasking skills👐 . What cute memories do you all have with your little ones?

IMPORTANT👐 . Yesterday, I went and had a photo shoot done. I was the center of attention for the first time in a heck of a long time. Ya see I hate attention being on me. Are you like that too? . You would prefer to have someone else have all of the attention, and you be in the background keeping to yourself. Yep that's me too!🖑 . But surprisingly yesterday was so much fun. I had my hair done, my nails, my makeup the whole shebang! And let me just tell you it felt pretty amazing😍😍 . But the best part was when I got home, I got to see my beautiful little ones. And their exact words were, "Mommy you look beautiful, but you look beautiful EVERY day"! . And you know what I think that is what we fail to realize...🖓 . Is that it is not about the make up, how we style our hair. Come on I know you may have those days I do where you just feel ugly because you didn't feel comfortable in your clothes, maybe you didn't have time to do your normal makeup/hair routine.👐 . It's okay we all do it! But I realized yesterday through my two beautiful girls, that it's not about all of that. It's about feel beautiful just being Mommy. Just going through my day, my mom bun in place, no makeup on. That is when PURE beauty shines! . Ladies show your pure beauty today❤❤

5 years old😭 . This stubborn, moody, confident, opinionated, beautiful little mini me turned 5 today! . Gosh oh how time flies by wayyy to fast. ⏰ . You ever have that one child you just but heads with? The one that is sooo much like you, that you don't even see it? . Well that is Miss Maddie to me. When it comes to attitude and we are two peas in a pod. And honestly I am so proud of the little fireball she has become! . If only time could slow down a little bit right?👐

Just NO😝 . Do you ever have those mornings where you wake up and say, "It's morning ALREADY?" . Normally, I am a morning person, I can wake up at 5am and be fine. Go about my day, no crankiness at all.👐 . But this morning, I woke up tired, probably because I stayed up late watching the Superbowl (I can't miss that!).🏈 . But now I am paying for it. I was fighting with myself as I laid in bed.🙅 . 🔶"Jess, get the heck up" 🔶"Jess you know your not going to go back to sleep" 🔶"Just 10 more minutes" Finally, I litterally said "UUGGGHH" as I forced my body to get up. . Have you ladies ever done that? Think you are just gasping, or complaining in your head. Then you turn around and realize you were saying it out loud! 🙊 . But no worries, no one heard me! Which kind of ruins my complaining, right? But hey, it is time to put my big girl panties on and make this Monday better!👐 . I know we all dread MONDAYS! But we're stuck with Mondays unfortunately, so what are your plans to make your Monday better? . I am gonna read some personal development!📚 That always helps me! Follow me on 👻 thefitspur

Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it💕 . When I was younger I was called a "follower" by many people. I did what others wanted me to do because I was so afraid that they would be: ➡Disappointed in me Ot ➡Not like me . Now I want to stand out of that crowd! Don't you? . Do you ever feel like your so caught in the motions, that you feel like your just going through your day, NOT living it? 😝 . Let's stop this! A little secret about me I make awful faces, and dance ridiculously when I am frustrated. . Yet I am so stubborn I refuse to give up, I will be yellint, dancing, making sarcastic comments ( at least I think they are funny) 😂 . But I keep going. In life we can't be sucked in by the crowd! Stand the heck out ladies! . We've got this.

EMBARRASSED👎👎 . . Honestly I took this picture DAYSSSS ago. I have been so scared/afraid to post it. . This is one of those pictures where I'm feeling like a bad butt when I'm taking the picture.. . Then I turn around and look at the picture on my phone later on to compare, before/after, and I am in tears.💧 . I thought I could never show this picture😭!! . Do you ever have that moment when you see yourself whether in a picture or in the mirror and you just break down? That was me. . . Now, I see that's not fair!👐 . It's not right too: ➡abuse my body but looking at myself negatively ➡push myself too hard ➡NOT love my scars all of them Women, we never like to give ourselves a break, right!?! . I hate my scar, I think my stomach is hideous! But you know what My body deserves better than that! Doesn't yours? . Take today and embrace yourself! Realize all the stretch marks, scars, whatever makes you, YOU, is perfect! . Perfectly imperfect 💕💕

NO thank you👏👏 . When I first began sharing my journey, you have no idea (maybe you ladies do) how many men decided to give me their opinions😝 . As if I am doing this for them?👎 OR As if their harsh comments were gonna make me realize I could NEVER be successful. . Ladies have you ever had those moments where you just want to yell at someone, ask them, "who in the heck asked you?" . At one point in time that was me..that girl on the left, fake smiling because I was so freaking afraid to post a picture. Wondering what others were going to think of me. Hating myself, my body! . That girl I fight with constantly.🙈 Trying my hardest not to let her come back out. But I have realized one thing.. . I am stronger, I don't care what men think. (honestly I thought I was going to have to deal with women haters, NOT men)! . Anyways my point of this is we can do this ladies! You know you can, stop creating excuses, stop letting the fear of what others might say or think control your actions! . We've got this👐👐

No I don't cuss🚫 (Unless I stub my toe that freaking hurts!!) . I will call you a meanie head, butt face, or some other phrase I might create off the top of my head, but I will NOT cuss. . Why? Well I was told it was extremely unattractive by someone a LONG time ago and that was that!👏 . But I have found I love music that has A LOT of cuss words, (don't lie you do too at times!) & I wear shirts that use cuss words in their phrases. . One might call me a hypocrite🙈 . But for me I still don't cuss. Not even when I am trying to rap the lyrics of the song. Come on you know you have tried to rap/sing a song with cuss words in it before!👐 . But...I always make sure the silence fits perfectly in when the artist cusses😂 . My husband finds it hilarious but what can I say, I am just one of a kind!👐

Fear is what fuels us! . As I am listening to my Personal development on my way home, that message was said over and over again. . So I sat there and thought about all of those times... I ran away🏃, I said, "No" 🚫 I simply shut the door🚪 . I could keep going, it is sad really. . But then this message repeated in my head and I thought, "what the HECK, Jess" . Why run? Why not allow that fear fuel my desire to succeed, to be better, achieve all of my dreams? Do you know what I mean? . Think about it we basically spend our whole lives running from what scares us. But those moments we are so afraid to fail, what would happen if we just jumped? . What would happen if we just faced those gosh dang fears head on? Who is ready to face their fears with me?👐👐

This is my life💕💕 . I love being a mom! Dog mom, human mom, etc.. (You get the point) . I hve learned a tough lesson over the weekend. Sometimes we let life get to us. I think about how stressful my life is, what I do or don't have. You ever have those moments? . But this weekend I had a wake up call. We need those every once in a while, right? When you almost feel like you just got smacked across the face.👐 . I realized I love these moments. I am so lucky to have them. To be able to work, be a mom, and spoil everyone in my family. . People ask me all of the time, how do you have so much energy? How do you do it all? . Honestly my loves give me energy, they give me strength, knowing I have little eyes looking up at me, needing me. I am so freaking lucky! . Why would you say you are lucky?

Paperwork = my life! . . Ughh! Today is just one of those days. I think I am caught up and the BAM ten more things I have that I need to do. . And not to mention if I could guess I would say tonight is going to be a full moon because my residents are acting CRAZY🙈🙉 . Do you every have those days you just want to throw your hands up, crawl back into bed, and throw the blanket over top of you!👐👐 . That is me today! So workingout is for sure on my to do. . Since as noted by my husband yesterday I am as tough as a bag full of Tiger kittens( that's an upgrade from just kittens according to him).🐱🐅 . I am going to take my tiger kitten toughness and kick my workouts tail!💪 . What are your plans tonight?

I am FREEZING! . . . So as I am sitting here writing all you amazing ladies back, and sending out messages. I have this little heater attached at my hip. Do any of you ladies freeze constantly too? . It is ridiculous. I feel like I need 10 blankets just to keep me warm (and the heater too of course)😂 . My mom is the exact same way! We can sweat people out of a room and feel perfectly comfortable. . Here's some advice too all those ladies who freeze just like me👐 ❄buy comfy flannels pj's ❄buy a portable heater, & have it travel with you everywhere 😂 ❄ this one is for you Mommas out there; always make sure you have at least an extra blanket compared to how many family members you have in your house (including spouses) why? . Because when you need a blanket the most they will hog them ALL!!

Mom Probs😧 . . I do not have a SPOT! I can sit down for 10 seconds, get up to get something, and BAM! . . Someone is in my spot!🙉 Whether it's my little girls cuddle up waiting for me to get back. . OR . My dogs taking up every inch of space they can! Tell me I'm not alone mom's? Do you all ever feel this way? . I think all of us moms, need a spot we can call our own & NOT one we have to share! (By the way yes I know my dog honestly thinks he is human 😂)

Reality is.. When you don't remove your make up BEFORE you work out, this is what happens🙈😝 . We sweat Our make up runs We become out of breath . This whole my makeup doesn't run crap is CRAZINESS!👐 . This is the real Jess, runny makeup & all!

AHHHHH!! . So when I first began my journey in last July 2016 I picked out these jeans.. . My FAVORITE jeans that I literally waited over a year to buy because they were just to expensive for me. . Then I got pregnant, gained weight, and of course those jeans wee thrown to the side. . Now 9 months after I gave birth, and 6 months after working out and eating healthy, I can finally say I fit back into my Miss Me jeans 👐👐 . I could have cried when I tried these on and they actually fit. But it wasn't because I was have to fit in them, I was happy I lost the weight on my own terms, the HEALTHY way. I DID it and it's because I never gave up! . This just goes to show you can achieve anything, as long as you are determined!

Last minute thoughts! . . Actually I am just wanting to say how excited I am! . In a week I will be no longer a brunette! 😍😍 . I can't wait!!😎 . New adventures coming up for the Fit Spur in the next couple of weeks! Stay tuned yall!
