This day is so surreal. ⁣
It feels like just yesterday I was curling your hair and testing out YouTube makeup tutorials on you when we were kids. ⁣
We were just playing phase 10 all summer and swimming until we were prunes. ⁣
You were just my kid sister making me crazy while we made the best memories. ⁣
⁣
And now you’re walking down the aisle and I never could have imagined this day being as beautiful as it is. You’re the most gorgeous bride and I already know I’m going to bawl my eyes out up there because I’m already crying writing this post. ⁣
⁣
I love you so much @ San Diego, California

Kisses and chocolate chip pancakes?! How did this mama get so lucky?

To my son, ⁣
⁣
Honestly it’s a little weird even saying that word “son”. I wanted you so badly it almost didn’t seem real when that cake came out blue. ⁣
⁣
I don’t know who you’ll be yet, but I know that you’re being raised by your dad and you’re bound to be incredible. ⁣
⁣
Your sister doesn’t know what’s coming but I know she’s going to love you so fiercely, you may not know what to do with her 🤣 ⁣
⁣
I’m so excited to see your face and I know you’re coming faster than we can even imagine. I can’t wait to celebrate you next year on but for now I’ll just daydream about who you’ll be @ Las Vegas, Nevada

I met seventeen of these twenty women Friday and none of them are a serial killer, even when we’re lost in the desert for seven hours. When I say I’ve found a rare breed of human in this team, I’m dead serious. These gems have changed my life and I’m forever grateful I made the decision to jump in when I was scared, because that one leap of faith has paid my life back tenfold.

Dear Amber circa 2012-2016 ⁣
⁣
I know you think you’re doing it right. ⁣
⁣
I know it started with an illness out of your control that caused you to throw up everything you ate. ⁣
⁣
I know you saw results so fast you just kept it going. ⁣
⁣
But babe, you aren’t going to be able to starve yourself skinny for the rest of your life. ⁣
⁣
He’s going to break up with you anyway so who cares if he thinks you “got fat”. ⁣
⁣
You’re going to meet a man who loves you unconditionally through darker times than you think you’re in now. ⁣
⁣
You’re going to have a daughter that’s watching your every move and will copy your self talk. Whether it’s negative or positive is up to you. ⁣
⁣
It’s not normal to be so cold you wear a hoodie in Phoenix in June. ⁣
⁣
It’s not normal to be so tired you sleep all day. ⁣
⁣
It’s not normal to order every pizza you eat with a ton of veggies and without any cheese only to eat half a slice.
⁣
Your body needs more calories than 700 a day, especially if you’re going to run 5 miles a day 5 days a week on top of weight training every day. ⁣
⁣
I know you want to be smaller, take up less space and have abs but trust me when I tell you life gets so much sweeter than any achievement of being “less than”. ⁣
⁣
Love, ⁣
⁣
A version of you who’s still recovering but KNOWS self love exists beyond the reflection staring back at you. The one who’s educated herself to know how to enjoy the foods we love without punishment. @ Las Vegas, Nevada

3 months postpartum with Evy -> 3 months pregnant with baby 2 ⁣
⁣
I remember when I first started. I really didn’t have the “time”. I had a pretty new baby I didn’t think I could focus on myself for even a second, and the mom guilt that came with doing something for ME was astronomical. ⁣
⁣
But the longer I kept going, the more I continued to show up for me, even when Evy was there more times than not, I learned that this was just as much for her benefit as it was for mine. ⁣
⁣
She got a mom who learned to conquer her postpartum anxiety. ⁣
She got a mom who was learning to love herself. ⁣
She got a mom who fought hard for what she wanted to be able to teach Evy what it looked like. ⁣
⁣
This started out as wanting to be a “hot mom”. It started out wanting to look a certain way, and wanting the tag in my pants to reflect what I WANTED it to. ⁣
⁣
But what I’ve gotten... is so much more impactful. I took my health in my hands. I became someone my husband wanted to be around again. I humbled myself while I pushed my limits. I found the fighter version of Amber I once was, and unleashed her. ⁣
⁣
It didn’t take weeks, or even months. It didn’t happen overnight. But one foot after another I made my way to my goals and I’m still in that process. And I know in my heart that if I, of all people, could do this, you absolutely can too. 👯‍♀️ @ Las Vegas, Nevada

Three days ago I turned in my prenatal packet to the hospital. ⁣
Something I’ve been procrastinating for six weeks. ⁣
⁣
On the very top front page of the packet, under my name they had me add my starting weight and calculate my BMI. ⁣
⁣
I’ve worked hard to overcome defining my worth by the number on the scale, but some sort of postpartum anxiety sprouted up as I calculated it knowing that’s the first thing the doctors are going to base my pregnancy off of. ⁣
⁣
Not that I workout 5-6 times a week. ⁣
Not that I drink 12oz of water before every meal or that I eat more vegetables than 80% of the nation. ⁣
Not that I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, even if my weight is more than THEY would like to see on my 5’3” frame. ⁣
⁣
They don’t see that in the last 10 weeks I’ve moved my body more times than I ever did in the 39 weeks I was pregnant with Evy.⁣
⁣
All they see is a number, and get to determine my worth off of that before I step foot in the office next week. ⁣
⁣
I’d be lying if I wasn’t nervous to feel the same way I did when I was pregnant with Evy as they lectured me every appointment about my weight gain... but something that’s helped me overcome those feelings is empowering myself with information. ⁣
⁣
One key piece of info that’s helped me the most is that the BMI scale was developed and is still based on white men. Non one woman was measured, or had any part of the creation of the BMI scale, and therefore is an inaccurate measurement of health for any woman, especially one growing another human inside of their bodies. (And I’ll gladly tell any doctor that tries to determine my worth on my BMI that exact same fact) ⁣
⁣
Every pregnancy is different. Every body is different. And the way we carry our babies differs from each woman. For example, with Evy I gained weight literally everywhere, where this time around I’ve lost weight in this first trimester but I’m holding more weight in my face than I did with Evy this early on. ⁣
⁣
But in the midst of all of this, know that NOBODY gets to determine how worthy you are more than YOU do. You are beautifully and wonderfully made. ✨ @ Las Vegas, Nevada

It all started when I got so excited about your engagement I blew up your DMs with story responses. I didn’t know you, but then I realized you knew Bailey and I knew we would become besties.

Not too much longer, you joined my bootcamp and showed up EVERY DANG DAY crushing your workouts even when you were on long flights and had a short layover, you’d crush it in your hotel room.

Over time we’ve become besties for the restie and when you said I could come with Bailey to your wedding, it was an honor I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Squeezing you in person was by far one of the best moments not only in my coaching career, but in this trip in general. Internet besties turned real life best friends forever.

Your wedding was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever been to, and I’m so honored I was able to be there ♡︎ @ Shelby, North Carolina

I’ve been stuck in a feeling of limbo. ⁣
⁣
Of “not yet”, and “when X happens, and I get this result I can finally...” insert all of the ways I think my life will change when I’ve “made it”. Like I can be happier when my reflection matches how I see myself in my head.⁣
⁣
I’ve struggled mentally more in the last 4 months of this year than I have in a while. Not necessarily because I have met a goal, but more because I’ve fallen into old habits. These months have been full of moments that were incredibly challenging, but also some so full of joy I have no words to explain. My goals went to the wayside and I navigated moving alone and the excitement of Travis coming home but as we’ve transitioned into normal life, I’ve found myself struggling to show up and really struggling to get excited about anything.⁣
⁣
The moment I did the demo of this new program at the end of June, I finally found something to get really excited about. Something I knew I wanted to go all in with. ⁣
⁣
I haven’t been dedicated to my nutrition since I completed a three week nutritional reset In January and I’ve realized over the last month or so how much it’s truly impacted my whole life, and I’m in need of a change similar to the change others tell me they need in their life. ⁣
⁣
Tomorrow morning marks day one of the next three weeks which are going to be of pure dedication to my journey, and my excitement is immeasurable. No matter what the esthetic outcome may be, I’m chasing a FEELING more than anything. ⁣
⁣
You can watch me babe, or join me. But know that you are beyond capable of your wildest dreams as soon as you decide to commit, and having a group of women committed to their journey with you makes it all the more sweet. So let’s link arms and do this thing! @ Las Vegas, Nevada
