She’s just like you and me-and has achieved peace and stability in weight loss and looking great while feeling great!
After reading, remember to visit her website to sign up! Why? Because when would NOW be a good time to take care of you?

BEFORE BeachBody lifestyle workouts and…. AFTER!

I am an Independent Beachbody Coach. If you’re looking for someone to help you on your fitness and/or weight loss journey, I can coach you for FREE. If you’d like to help change lives by becoming an Independent Beachbody coach, click here for more information.

Don’t sign up yet, contact me first, so we can see if this opportunity is right for you!

If you would like me to coach you for FREE it’s easy, just click here to sign up! I would love to connect, help support, and be there for you.

Here are my “before” and current pics. My weight was at 177 pounds and I was wearing size 16 when I began in Feb 2010. Why would I post these pictures that I didn’t even want my husband to see? Because I want to connect with you.

I want you to see that I know what it is like to be out of shape. I know what it’s like to find nothing in my closet that fits or looks good on me. I know what it is like to feel hopeless. I know what it is like to say every night “tomorrow I will eat healthy and workout” only to find myself going around the mountain yet again doing the exact same thing- eating for emotional reasons and feeling too tired to workout. Crying when no one was around because I was so desperate for help.

So far I’ve lost 37 pounds and 38 inches. I currently weigh 140 and wear a size 8. I am still on my fitness journey. I began exercising with The Brazil Butt Lift Workout. I am not at my goal yet. I am now beginning P90X which I am crazy excited about! What I love about Beachbody is the support they offer keeps me on track with my fitness goals. Having someone there to help you through the hard times makes all the difference. That’s what the Beachbody coaching oportunity is about. You don’t have to be a fitness expert, you just need a heart to help people! I am so thankful to God for answering my prayers and giving me strength and direction to finally stop the horrible cycle of eating for the wrong reasons and finally being consistent on getting the exercise that I need. I’m not perfect but even the small steps add up.

My heart is to reach out to others just like you, many of us are so busy we neglect our selves. This is why I became a Beachbody coach. I can now offer hope and support to others, just like you, so YOU will be successful. I can help you get in the best shape of your life. You can wake up with a smile on your face knowing it is going to be another great day regardless of your situation and circumstances. You can finally feel alive again living each day with purpose and excitement. Being a Beachbody coach is amazing because you don’t have to be a fitness expert you just have to have a heart to reach out and help people. You don’t have to be in shape either, you just need to be on the path. Being a coach is so rewarding. You get to encourage others while they get in shape and you make money at the same time. It’s an amazing opportunity.

I am customer of Beachbody, but I also make money as an Authorized Distributer. I automatically become your coach when you make a purchase from my website. I also make a commission when you purchase from me, which is the way BeachBody helps compensate me for the time I spend coaching customers like yourself. So please be sure to order from me. Thank you so much in advance for your consideration.

Hey there gorgeous! Take a looksy in the photos, I’m holding a soap ladened sponge that has a super cellulite scrubber on one side and gentle exfoliation on the other. Plus it is full of moisturizing soap!

There are several formulations and body specific sponges from Spongeables:

For Men

For Children

For Feet

For Cellulite
Basically…for any dirty part you’ve got Spongeables has a self soaping sponge to go for it. I used it and got good lather though it did take some serious squeezing to get it going. Could be my small hand that had trouble squeezing it or it could be the massive amount of soap suds inside!

The Spongeables package says that it is good for 20 showers. Okay, I’m one down and 19 to go…I will let you know how it goes. Now, the good people at Spongeables have sent 2 of every flavor and I’m not the dirty…so why not subscribe to the blog feed and comment and I’ll get one out to you toot sweet! Please, only mailing addresses in the continental United States. Thanks and goodluck!

Hello gorgeous! You look really beautiful today! Love looks good on you! Welcome to the blog a friend and mentor Pamela Carter. She has so many encouraging videos that I posted two below, and she was gracious enough to guest blog for me today about the love of Jesus. After all, today being a day to celebrate love-I’m here to shout it that Jesus is my Valentine! Enjoy her post, be sure to visit her on Youtube at PamelaCarter12 and her main website is www.pamelacarter.com. (*the podcasts are awesome!) Enjoy!

The Trinity is One God who relates to us in various manifestations of His Personhood. God as a Father relates to us as His children, sons and daughters, when we receive Y’shua or Jesus as our Savior because of His sacrifice for our sins on the cross. Jesus as Messiah and Lord desires intimacy with His Body which is the Church, the Bride of Christ. Holy Spirit was given to reveal the love of Jesus to us, His Bride, to be fully conformed into His Image through worship, fellowship and oneness in communion and union with His Spirit.
Song of Solomon 4:9 “You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride, with one glance of your eye, with one bead of your necklace.” We are to have dove’s eyes, focused completely on Jesus. Doves are singularly focused and in love with one mate for life. The neck speaks of grace and connects Jesus the Head to us, His Body. I pray you are blessed by this video…I am my Beloved’s and He is Mine!!!! He is in love with me and I with Him. The same love the Father has for Jesus He has for us.
Astounding!
