To all the moms out there going through the thick of it!

The sleepless nights, the morning getting ready for school stress, the endless chores.

And the dreaded pile of laundry that was washed a week ago. 😑

You are tough, you are strong and you probably could use a good shower and another cup of coffee!

All you are craving is a little time to yourself!

Is that too much to ask?

No, my friend it definitely is not! ☀️

That was me a year and a half ago, I stressed about getting all the things done in one day, that is by now mean humanly possible.

I would run around all day taking care of everyone else and by 3:00 was so crabby and felt gross and couldn’t understand why.

One day I realized I was not taking care of myself, I hadn’t taken a shower, I hadn’t taken time to pause and I didn’t give myself even 30 second to look in the mirror and breath and say you got this!

That’s when I decided to change, I joined this amazing company, not just as a participant but as a coach to help keep myself accountable and to eventually pass it onto others!

I moved my day around and started time blocking- I wake up early and take care of me so I then have the time and the patience for everyone else!

I make time for the important things I want to do or accomplish everyday! ✨

If this sounds like you, I am here for you and I want to be your cheerleader!

I want you on my team, so we can cheer each other on and be the best women we can be!

Drop a 💪 if you wanna do this together!

What are you going to see in 30 years?

When you look back at your life in 30 years are you going to wish you would have done more?

Are you going to have regrets that you didn’t follow your dreams?

When I look back….

I want to see a woman who accomplished some amazing things.

✨ raising good, kind and God fearing humans
✨ took care of her self and was the best version of herself she could be
✨ followed her dreams of running her own business
✨ laughed and found joy in every single day
✨ loved her husband and her family more than they know

And more than anything, look back and smile at her life with no regrets and as many fun and memories as possible!

These are the reasons I get up everyday, push play on my workouts and show up!

I wake up and workout and share it with you, to inspire others to get up and live the lives they want to live.

Don’t look back at your life and wish you could have done more or been more!

If you are looking for something more, you can find out what I am doing to help propel my family and I to our dreams. DM for details!

Watching someone build themselves up from a beginner, building strength and confidence is so powerful.

Why? Because it reminds of of where we started and where we have come.

Today is an important day, the day that you stop holding yourself back and start appreciating where you are. It’s the only way to create success in your goals and dreams!

Appreciate where you are and dream big!

Transformation comes in so many forms.

It can show up where you least expect it and in ways that are better than you can imagine.

☀️ it can show up in your smile
☀️ it can show up in your relationships
☀️ it can show up in a clear mind and heart
☀️ it can show up in a smaller pant size
☀️ it can show up in joy in a new passion

The possibilities are endless and when you see that transformation in yourself is where you really find that inner peace and satisfaction, thankfulness and joy!

The journey to get to this transformation is what matters most, push through the hard days and write down the good and the bad!

All those thoughts matter and one day that woman standing in the mirror, you will give her a high five and be so proud of her! 🖐

Hey All!

I’m coach Erin! And I thought I would intro myself and tell you my story!

After baby number one, I figured my body would just bounce back.

Being a collegiate athlete and in shape my whole life, I figured this would be the case.

9 months later I was pregnant with #2. Then 2 more close pregnancies after that and I was 40 pounds over weight.

The woman on the left, felt lost in herself and confused….

Why did my body do what it was supposed too?
What is taking so long?

I wanted and needed a change… I didn’t want to just get my body back I wanted a whole new mindset

And something I could look forward too outside of just being a mom.

Becoming a coach and putting me first over the last year has been a blessing and the change I needed in my life!

I am still a work in progress but everyday I am little bit better and little more towards my goals!

I’d love to hear your story! ❤️💪.

This soup was absolutely delicious! 🥣

Full of flavor, warm and cozy and hearty!

Even thought it was 95 out yesterday it still hit the spot! ☀️

If you caught my stories last week, I bought my first magazine in about 10 years and got some new ideas for the crock pot and quick soups!

With all these crazy night time sports I didn’t want to get caught in the fast food trap!

I am not much of a recipe follower but if I can get inspiration I use what I have on hand and make it my own!

This was supposed to be a very creamy potato and ground Italian sausage soup with 3 cups of milk and 2 cups of cream! 😯

So I lightened it up a bit! Prepped and cooked in 40 mins!

2 tbs olive oil
1 package andouille sausage cut into rounds
1 package turkey kielbasa cut into rounds
5 cups of water
1 tbs chicken bouillon
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 cups chopped spinach
1/2 a large white onion
3-5 large carrots (depending on size) chopped into circles
4 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rubbed sage
Salt and pepper to taste

In a good size pot, heat olive oil on medium high heat and toss in the kielbasa and andouille sausage. Sauté until browned a bit on the middle and edges, once’s browned remove from pot and set aside.

Toss in carrots and onion, add sage and thyme and sauté for about 7-10 mins until they start to get soft. Once soft add in garlic, sauté for 2 mins and add in the chopped kale. Stir ( I added the salt and pepper here but not a lot of salt, bouillon has enough of it! 🙂)

Once stirred add in the chicken bouillon, and stir it a bit to coat the veggies ( I find this mixes way better than trying to mix it in the water) add in 5 cups of water and mix. Then add the sausage back in.

Let it simmer for about 10 mins, turn heat to low and add in the cream. Let it simmer for 10 mins and it’s ready!

I made this midday while my youngest was asleep and let it sit and heated it up for dinner!

The longer it sits the better!

Take a pic and tag me if you try this recipe!

Just because things aren’t going exactly the way you want them, doesn’t mean you throw your hands up in the air and give up.

You brush off and try again!

Find a new open door or push through the hard and make it work.

There have been plenty of days and weeks on this fitness journey that I have wanted to just stop because yes it’s hard!

It’s hard to find your way after postpartum and find what your body is supposed to be like again.

You know it’s not going to be the same but what is is supposed be?

I ask myself this question all time and am I supposed to be back and beyond my prepregancy weight or am I a little older so I might be a little higher! 🤷‍♀️

I mean it’s been 2 years come on already!

Will my abs ever repair after 4 kids because they were all so close, I have no stomach muscles any more!

Will I be able to find that maintenance zone that my body feels best in?

If you are anything like me and weight loss has been harder than you expected, I am here to say don’t give up because it’s the journey that matters most and that you didn’t stop!

You and your body will find each other again and you will find that happy place!

When you do let me know and send a pic, the smile you see in the mirror is gonna be the best thing ever! ✨

We are making enough for lunches and to help me with meals through out the week!

This roasted garlic and Rosemary bread is a family fav- recipe credit to the !

Adding to the meal prep side… I used my handy tracker and wrote down all of our meals for this week and went grocery shopping on Thursday!

All planned and ready to go for a no fail week!

Happy Monday everyone!

What are you making tonight for dinner?

We choose the habits we decide to make

And for a habit to stick it needs to be enjoyable. 🥰

I’ll admit I have not been as on track lately as I should be about my healthy eating habits.

And as a result, well…

I haven’t had any!

My weight loss has stalled and I have feeling frumpy and grumpy.

Starting Monday I am committing to 21 days of healthy eating and recreating those healthy habits that were getting me results!

✨ water first
✨ veggies most
✨ shake a day
✨ 7-9 hours of sleep
✨ writing it all down

Who want to join me and kick those unhealthy habits to the curb?

DM for details!
