Love Day and My Biggest WHYs for Staying Healthy

Love Day and My Biggest WHYs for Staying Healthy

There are lots of reasons I work out and choose to eat clean.  I could probably write all day long!
But since yesterday was Valentine’s Day, I wanted to focus on the topic of LOVE and how it motivates me!


I love me!



What you say???

⁉️
Shouldn’t I love everyone else first and put myself last?
Nope! 

I know that when I focus on myself first thing in the day.
Make time for my spiritual growth, physical health and personal growth, I am STRONGER for my precious and beautiful family! (More to come on them later β€οΈ)
Yes, loving and serving my family starts first with loving ME!!!πŸ’•
And my life only has worth because Christ first loved me! There is freedom and peace in that statement! 
“She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks” Proverbs 31:17


MY Valentine! β€οΈπŸΉβ€οΈ



I may not get into the flowers, the gifts, the restaurants, the chocolate covered candies…ok, maybe I do love those!
But I am TOTALLY into this guy!

Matt is who God used to reach me. To show me what TRUE love looks like. πŸ’•
Matt is who loves me even when I’m unlovable.
Who buys me a weighted medicine ball for Valentine’s instead of a box of chocolate! (Be jealous gals!)πŸ’ͺ🏻
Who makes me laugh even when I don’t want to. πŸ˜‰
Who puts up with SO much and receives so little in return some days.
And he is ONE of the main reasons I choose to care for myself. Because knowing he finds me attractive and stops to take a second look when I walk by….my heart skips a beat! β£οΈ
Matt would love me know matter what size I was or what I looked like. I’m sure of that.
But knowing that I please him. That he finds satisfaction in my appearance. That is a huge motivator for me!
You see, we’ve had married years that I didn’t value my appearance. I ate whatever I wanted, because I felt I had the “right” and my thinking was that “He will love me anyways.”
And while he did, it was harder for ME as I am sure it was for him! Not feeling comfortable in my own skin did NOT help our marriage at all! I was closed off. I was uncomfortable with him. And that is NOT the attitude I feel I should have as a wife.
God created me FOR Matt Mitchell. And I want to be all that I can be for him – inside and out – while I have the privilege of being his wife on this earth!
Proverbs 20:6 says, “A faithful man, who can find?”
Matt is faithful. He is kind. He is slow to anger.
I know what I’ve got ladies, and I intend to hold onto it! πŸ’—πŸ’—

My Boys


And FINALLY! These two loves are my WHY!
I mean, just LOOK at them! Who wouldn’t want to be at their best for these cuties!?!?
They are kind of AWESOME! And they love nothing more than to have a happy, energetic mommy who ENJOYS life and enjoys spending time with them.

And they watch EVERYTHING I do!
 They see me when I study God’s word.
They see me when I workout.
They see me when I cook dinner, and they see WHAT I cook!
They COOK with me!
They watch; they listen; they are learning!
So, yeah. This momma is so glad I started this health and fitness journey almost three years ago.
I’m even happier that I committed to coaching.
Because what they have seen is that momma works HARD!
She sets goals.
She gives up some things to make them happen.
And they see the rewards our family is reaping from a business I have built from my kitchen table!
And they know ALL about my challengers! They know that momma is helping people make healthy changes and learn to love clean food and exercise. They love my team of coaches, and point the out to me all the time!
They get EXCITED about what I do and they already see the value in it!
So, yeah! They’re my WHY. They move me. I do what I do in part for them.
Happy Valentines Day my little Loves!
