Do you struggle??  Doesn’t everyone??  What makes ME special??  Why do I feel like I shouldn’t struggle??  Every time I struggle at eating right or keeping up with my workouts, I tend to hide it.  Just because I am a fitness coach doesn’t mean I am not HUMAN!!!

I know you all know this, I just feel like I need to write this as a letter to myself ❤

Yes, I am a mostly healthy person.  Yes, I just ran in a relay race and kicked butt for the most part with how little to no training I did.  Yes, I have curbed most of by horrid eating habits that I had 3 years ago.  Yes, I still could down a bag of oreos or chips and salsa in a matter of minutes without consciously knowing.  Yes, I still jump on the scale once in awhile to make sure I’m not gaining weight (however I know my muscle is slowly fading which is why the scale is staying normal).

This has happened the past two summers – I get caught up in summer craze – fun in the sun – blueberry season – I stay active because I am outdoors more – I eat more veggies (homegrown of course!) – I drink Shakeology because it is too easy when I am on the go and not gonna lie it’s sort of like a guilty pleasure these days with Cafe Latte – It seriously gives me LIFE! – But I also stop to get a burger and fries because I drive so much between my house and my moms – And then I hide from social media because it’s so overwhelming checking notifications and messages between so many other things going on and then I feel like a hypocrite when promoting a healthy lifestyle.

What I should post is every time I struggle.  Every time I am human.  Every time I miss a workout.  I don’t though because I feel like it will get people down and encourage negativity which is what I don’t want!

So apologies for my “sabbatical” from social media these past two months – I was having an internal battle and I expect to continue this battle for many summers to come!  Just know, we are ALL human and if I can pull back into a balanced (for the most part) life, then so can you!  And by balanced I mean very lopsided 😉

We are all in this together – it isn’t an all or nothing game.  You can trip up, but you won’t reach ANY goal if you don’t set it first and struggle to reach it.
