Happy National Dog day from this group of dingdongs 😂 but seriously love this mötley crüe so much! They always keep it interesting!❤️ @ Severna Park, Maryland

Husband of the year award goes to for our bomb dinner last night! It was a steak taco salad from the app. Which if you have a smoker and don’t have that app you are missing out on some amazeballs food!! 😍

The joy dogs can bring is like no other.

We took the dogs on a little trip yesterday to visit my grandma who they love going to see because they can just sit next to her and get pet. And then to see my aunts and cousin who as always spoils them to death and they just bring joy to everyone. Some days they drive me nuts but i wouldn’t trade them for the world! ❤️

Look how stinking cute Marty’s underbite is😍

Bring that fire! 🙌🏻🔥🔥

ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ ᴀsᴋ ᴡʜʏ ɪ ᴘᴏsᴛ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ sᴛᴏʀɪᴇs ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ᴅᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅʀɪɴᴋ ᴘʀᴇᴡᴏʀᴋᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜɪs ɪs ᴡʜʏ! Those ladies and GUYS are my daily reality check that we all have busy lives (teachers, nurses, a mom of Irish twins, business professionals, police officers) but we need to make time for time for our health!

If you’ve ever know my family we grew up eating all the time! Holidays the entire family would get together and eat so much food and then left overs for days. If I was sad I ate, if I was celebrating something I ate, if i had any type of emotion I was eating.

My senior year of high school I hit my heaviest weight I’ve ever been. I honestly stopped stepping on the scale at 230 so i don’t know how much weight I’ve actually lost, but that i truly needed a wake up call. Then enter into my life all these amazing people who some of them grew up the way I did and we had to re learn that food is fuel and not a reward. What we put into our bodies directly relates to how we feel and ultimately how we look.

I used to get upset when people criticized how I stay accountable and how much I post about health and fitness but I remembered that I do this for me and not anyone else. I share my journey to not only keep myself accountable but to hopefully show others not every day is easy and no you don’t necessarily have to give up food groups to do so! (Unless of allergies or sensitivities of course) So before you judge someone or feel the need to talk s**t ask them why they do what they do and chances are they have a great reason! ❤️

Clearly everyone had a good time while we were gone. ❤️ thankful for family who loves our zoo! @ Pasadena, Maryland

🦚I love that my body has the ability to get up and run with my doggos!

Some days you need to focus on the things you LOVE not the things you hate!

Out with the gross in with the new! @ Pasadena, Maryland
