The Savvy & Fit Wife

I did not know how much I needed you until there was you! You my perfect princess the one that fills my life with joy, tears, craziness, drama and so much more! And although some of it I can live without, I would not change our relationship for anything! I love you for always! #nationaldaughterday

In his own words “It’s not a pill or a potion It’s all in your will and devotion! “ Pay attention my friends... Today I was laying in bed with all sorts of pains and emotions and suddenly a friend sent me this video once I was done listening to it I jumped off my bed showered and pushed through most of the day. I am not saying that this will be the same for everyone because there are days ( like yesterday for me) where getting out of the bed or off the couch was absolutely out of the question) You have to fight, you have got to do the things!

Could this be you?

Quarantine Quiz: Are you... 1. Gettin’ those at-home gainzz (#homegymwin) 2. A Netflix Warrior 3. Asking yourself if lunch is too early for cocktails… 4. Finally organizing and getting that honey-do list done 5. Running out of kids craft and recipe ideas (I got recipes comin’ at ya soon!! ) 6. Begging Amazon to stay operational… ME: All of the above!!! PLUS begging my kids to do our workouts or TIKTOKs with me.(...OH YES, you read that right!!!! I said TIKTOK ) Your turn... . .

our trainers are so incredibly amazing, that while being quarantined they are putting together workouts for us to assure that we keep our bodies moving... thankyou @ivfitness •

One of 2 things is going to happen when this is finally all over, i’m either going to be in love with working out or I’m going to be in love with drinking two glasses of wine a night! Which do you think it will be? • • • .

A bit of laughter to ease us into a new week... I know it’s hard to joke around, to be positive during scary times, I do. It’s so easy, in times like this, to question your Faith and wonder how if there really is a God, how he could let something like this happen. “It’s just not fair.” But there is Peace is knowing that no, it’s not fair, but God doesn’t always provide us with what’s fair - he provides us with what’s necessary. How many people out there are FINALLY beginning to take their health more seriously? How many people out there are FINALLY taking time out of their days to call their loved ones and catch up and tell them they love them. How many people out there are FINALLY recognizing that they need to start building more financial security for their families? How many people out there are FINALLY finding a home in their communities? ⁣ ⁣• This whole social distancing thing is funny because although we are being forced to isolate ourselves, I’ve never felt more connected. In a society that’s got our noses stuck in our phones, spending hours on the social media scroll hole, we’re finally using the beautiful gift of technology for good by way of virtual meeting rooms and story challenges like See 10 Push-Ups, Do 10 Push-Ups and Men and Women posting beautiful photos of one another. I’ve never seen more support for local businesses and gratitude for health care professionals and other employees who are putting their lives at risk to serve the community. ⁣ ⁣• Sadly, many lives have been lost. But I believe with every cell of my being that so many lives are also being saved 💯 • With every post, I do not want to discredit or downplay the number of lives that have been lost and the workers who put themselves at risk day in and day out to better serve the rest of the World. My heart goes out to all of the families who have been and are currently being personally and tragically affected by COVID-19. You are all in my thoughts and in my prayers 🙏🏼. Today is a bless

Friends I need you to please watcg this video Tell me if you agree

Someone please tell me this is made up? This is truly pathetic! • • • #coronavirus #toiletpapercrisis #covid_19

Im so full of excuses...

Watch this video till the end, this is legit me before a workout! • I woke up today and found myself naming off a long list of things I have to do. When I have that perspective it never feels empowering or energizing. • I started scrolling thru Facebook and immediately bumped into 4 girls from my accountability group already sharing sweaty selfies. • I quickly shifted my perspective and decided it was time to "Focus on the opportunity instead of the obligation." • This will make life much more enjoyable!!! • Saying "I get to" is more empowering then saying "I have to." We don't have to do anything. No one makes us do anything. Life is about making choices. • It is my choice to wake up and get things done. It is also my choice to lay in bed and do nothing all day. • When we can see opportunities and focus on that, that's when our perspective and attitude changes. Like mine did just now😊 • I GET to wake up and walk with my 2 feet off my bed! • I GET to workout! • I GET to learn new things today! • I GET to help others! • I Get paid to workout! 😍 • I GET to love on people! • So much more >>>>EMPOWERING<<<< then......I have to.🧐 • Am I the only one who thinks about it 10 times before she jumps in?

They say the greatest marriages are built on teamwork. Thanks for being on my side through all the tantrums and meltdowns. I love you! • Thank you for always believing in us and our future. Look how far we've come! Happy anniversary to the most amazing father and husband I could ask for.

It’s incredible how once you change your mindset everything else will follow... • If you know me you know that I do not love cooking, I love to eat, I love to feed my family, I love to go out with friends and family to many restaurants, but when it comes to cooking it is not my favorite thing in the world! • However I realize that if I want to feed my body and my family nutritious food, full of the best ingredients I really need to up my game and keep that stove on (or in this case my airfryer) and the absolute truth is that at the end of the day a meal like this takes no more than 20 minutes and everybody is usually satisfied and happy! • So my friends, I was just very vulnerable and put myself out there to you... now it’s your turn...will you share with me one thing you struggle with doing in your home? • • • #recipesharing #eatyourplants #journeytohealthy #eatinggreen #lifechangingjourney #extraeasyplan #balancedmeals #healthychef #healthierchoices #eatingright #mealideas #nutrientdense #swlife #mylifeinpictures #handsonlearning #youvegotthis

I needed to share a couple of videos that my nephew send me requesting his shake and me trying to be cute and respond back. • Also In this video, pay attention to what my other 2 nephews are eating... Beachbars, they love our bars and get as excited for them as if was a Twix or snickers etc... • Now I will ask you without passing judgement as I go am/was that mother... Are You Feeding Your Children the Best, Most Healthy Food?• • Processed foods are usually filled with chemicals and inflammatory fats and this is 1 of the reasons that Childhood disease is rising at an alarming rate. Autism, ADHD, asthma, recurrent ear infections, allergies and obesity are commonplace in our schools. Current statistics estimate that one to three boys per classroom have ADHD — and this likely is an underestimated because it’s based on kids with a medical diagnosis. • Many factors are responsible for this epidemic. However, what your kids put into their mouths is a contributing factor that you can control. • Yes, change is hard. Yes, there will be power struggles. And yes, as soon as they walk out the door they may choose to eat whatever they want. But one of the keys may be to educate your children to love their bodies and value the nourishing quality of what goes inside. And if you feed children nourishing meals whenever they are in your control, they may be better able to handle the times when they don’t eat healthy with less toxic burden. • I’ve said it before and will say it again great job @sharlene.nerys @h.nerys In educating the boys and given them the best nutrition possible always! • P.S. the shakes that they are asking for is not my adult shake, it is our @dailysunshine that was created just for kids and pediatrician approved... • message me for any more info!

Friends...since you follow my journey daily I find the need to be honest and open about this program, I have been playing with this program for the last two weeks however I was not giving it my all so as of yesterday I decided to go all in with nutrition and not missing a work out. Therefore today is day two of week one! • follow me for the next six weeks to see how much I loved it or how much it love me! Lol FYI this sh*t is not easy, watch my video to laugh at my faces • • #Melihitsthebarre #meetmeatthebarre #barreblend

Every morning when I wake up I have a decision to make, do I stay in bed and Be average or do I wake up and press play while making a fool out of myself in my house while nobody is watching? . Just to show you guys what happens behind the scenes this is every single day, I am the silliest and totally get confused while I am working out this is not new... like I mentioned before it happens every single day please tell me that I am not alone? And lord whats up with these ugly faces?

I share because I need you to understand how very silly I look in my workout videos, I share to remind you that it says not have to be perfect you just have to get your body moving, I share Because Great things are happening in my virtual support group and I can’t stay behind and it would be selfish on my part to not share with you. : �✅women owning their bodies after losing 16-100 lbs. : �✅commitment to starting new fitness programs because it's no longer about an event, they want change to last a lifetime, who does that? : �✅ good doctor reports after check-ups... out of diabetes range, lower cholesterol, anemia and more energy. : �✅ picky eaters trying cauliflower rice, eggplant and iced green tea. �Oh the list goes on and on! Sometimes all I need is to plug in to my fit family and realize that this journey is much more than Weightloss. It's an opportunity to change lives one day at a time. .��This makes me more excited to continue extending my hand to help, and I won't stop. �I know many people need help, its just that some are not ready to face the cruel reality. And for those who are ready, I'm here to help.

I’m really not one to entertain anyone else’s BS... in this business you learn that even some of your family members will block you because they can’t deal with all of your positivity and I had to grow Tough skin and remind myself not to listen to anyone whose shoes I wouldn’t want to wear, but when someone has the nerve to talk ish on MY social media platforms and say that I posted a Photoshopped “After” picture of someone on my team, that is absolutely where I draw the line! My business is not something I play with... this is so much more than shakes, so much more than a workouts... because of what I do I no longer live my life trying to wonder what my purpose is, I see it Revealed daily in the lives I get to impact and the beautiful messages from my challengers reminding me that because I made one decision to say yes, their life was forever changed! So to you out there that had the nerve to question my integrity, that woman who was “photoshopped” in the picture will be at our event on Saturday... Come down and see that she is real and down 122 pounds!

Did you get everything you wanted for the holidays? Was Santa good to you? More important where you good to yourself? Come listen to how I feel about my gifts!

Lets talk gifts

My sis and brother in law surprised my nephews with their baby sister whom they had no idea was born yet and check out Their reaction... Every time I listen I’m a wee bit more inlove! • • • #newbornprincess #bigbrothers #firsttime #daysold #simplydelicious

Sometimes people ask me why I record myself every time I work out, The truth is my friends because I can’t care to look at these videos myself. I usually don’t post most of my workouts, Some of them are WAY OFF and silly and I made so many mistakes and I will however post because I need people to understand that anyone can do this... last week while on one of my accountability calls my success partner says she feels like Peppa Pig while doing barre and I now can’t help but stare at my mirror and feel the same way! these videos show me that even if in my mind I think I’m doing it right, there is so much room for improvement, 60 days from now these videos will show me how much stability and strength I have gained because Lord knows I am one hot mess right now! Go watch my stories and I will share how I really feel!

How much longer

Tonight was perfect!!! The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds. The people that believe in you SO MUCH, you start to believe in you too. The people that love you, simply for being YOU. The once in a lifetime kind of people." love you my friends thanks for tonight? It was perfect

Those who dont jump will never fly!

Call me crazy, but something about seeing all those gorgeous kids in costumes today made me a little melancholic that this beauty no longer wants to dress up. So I took a trip down memory lane and can remember every single one of these occasions. There is a saying that I love... “To remember is to live” Tonight I’ve lived... P.s. before you ask, I have no digitals of my son in costumes, he stopped dressing up 17 years ago!!! • • • #memories😘 #myprincess👸🏽 #thrutheyears

What does Self love mean to you ???
