Getting Fit while Breastfeeding: The Plateau

Image
Oy... It's been awhile since I've posted about my journey. I've hit a plateau pretty badly. I've been gaining and losing the same 5-10 pounds for the last month or so. I keep trying to remind myself that I'm doing this to feel better, stronger and have more energy. But it's hard to not see the scale go down and to not feel my clothes fitting much better. I have been wrapping with my Ultimate Body Applicators and I'm doing the 3 month challenge (blog post HERE when that's finished)... but I want to see more body results NOW.  I do feel better. Stronger. More stamina. My posture is improving and my core strength is... getting there. Once Ben is done with his schooling I will be able to work out everyday. Zumba twice a week and riding my horse on the days I don't do Zumba. Plus housework and running after the kids. Between all that, wrapping and this 3 month challenge, I should be rockin' it pretty well. Some days I'm comfortable in...

My No Poo Journey: Progress!

Image
So I figured it was time for an update! I'm seeing some awesome results with No Poo! I've only used Baking Soda to wash and White Vinegar to condition my hair since March! Before starting No Poo, I couldn't go more than 1 or 2 days in-between washing my hair. Now... I'm at FIVE days! Five! By day 2 with commercial hair care products, I would have been able to fry up some eggs and bacon with the amount of grease on my head!  My hair is wonderfully easy to style now, soft and shiny, bouncy and full of life! I absolutely love how healthy my hair looks and feels now. Something I was never able to achieve with commercial hair care products. My hair doesn't look all shiny and freshly washed. Because it's not! But do you see greasiness? Heck no! Like I've said, usually by day 2, my head would be so full of grease that you could strip it off and fry up some breakfast with it. Not that I ever would... or would I?  No. That's gross. But,...

The Dreaded... Nursing Room

Image
OK. So I may have an unpopular opinion here, but these nursing rooms are not helping out those of us who are trying to make 'Nursing in Public' a normal thing. Don't get me wrong. These rooms are great for those who are not comfortable nursing in public, but they don't want to pump and bottle feed while out and about. Some women are just not comfortable with nursing in public at all and that's OK. But for us who are comfortable with it and can do it discreetly even without a cover, these rooms don't serve us any justice. It's our job to make nursing in public a normal and accepted thing. Feeding our babies is natural, normal and should never looked down upon, ever. Whether you feed formula with a bottle, breast milk with a bottle or feed straight from the tap; a happy and well-fed baby is a pleasant baby that everyone can appreciate. So why does it matter how we feed that child? The issue I see with Nursing Rooms is when someone feels uncomfortable...

That Crazy WrAp Thing!

Image
So I'm so excited about my business lately! It is flourishing and I'm so blessed that I was introduced to this amazing company a little over 2 years ago! We are on the fast track to making some BIG bucks, so with that comes lots of One on One's, Wrap Parties, Launch Parties for DT's, Team Calls, One Team One Mission Parties... you name it, I'm usually there! This is not a job to me. This company has changed my life in more ways than I can count. It has helped us pay off debt, have extra money at the end of the week for "play", we have been able to take trips we never would have been able to because of this company. I'm just so thankful and blessed that It Works! has changed my life so much! I have some BIG goals in May! This is going to be one hell of a month! I have ditched the fear I've been holding inside for so long and I'm going to make this business soar even more than it has been! So, I wanted to share some of my recent clie...

*GIVEAWAY* Ultimate Body Applicator

Shameless Plug!  I'm doubling my action in May! So this means I'm giving away more prizes than I ever have because why?! Because you HAVE TO try this product, or just try any product we offer! The Ultimate Body Applicator is a wrap with an all natural, botanically based gel that absorbs like a lotion and goes to work on healing scars, healing stretch marks, decreasing cellulite and most importantly... tightening, toning and firming the area that you apply it to! How awesome is that? These are PERSONAL resutls of mine! These top two pictures are after a one month makeover in April 2012. Using the Ultimate Body Applicator ONCE a week for 4 weeks! After just THREE wraps!! My "skinny" jeans are fitting pretty damn good now! February 2013 after just ONE wrap!  These are my husband's results, everyone! YES! Men wrap too! and they see results! After just one wrap! I absolutely love the results I and my husband are getting from usin...
