Who else had an amazing weekend?  It started off Saturday with my fastest 5K at the Run for 1 Plymouth!  Then to the barn for a rainy cold afternoon but some great quality time with my super amazing horse.
Snuggled in Saturday night to enjoy a movie with the family and out to breakfast Sunday morning that was absolutely delicious.
Sunday afternoon was a cook out with the fam and Sunday night was the usual food prep for the week.
Monday morning was a kickass sports agility workout at Thurston MMA.  What a great group of people and an amazing full body workout.  Loved every minute of it!
Spent the early afternoon cruising on the motorcycle and then back to the barn.
Kaelyn and I rode our horses together which was a blast and then let them graze on some grass.
I couldn't ask for a better weekend!  I am so blessed to have the family and friends I have and I love everyone of them.
Remember this weekend is about those soldiers that have made this life possible and continue to make it possible.  Thank you to each and every person who has and still is serving in our United States Military.  You are our everyday hero's!

Mother's Day makes me reflect on how lucky I truly am!  Such a great weekend of family fun and exercise.  Out on my mountain bike ride really gave me the time to see how truly blessed I am to be able to go out and do these things.  I am so lucky to have my health and fitness.  So lucky to have my family and friends.  
I spent some time remembering how tired and run down I used to feel before I started working out.  I don't know how I got through my days.  I know my lifestyle has changed and I will never go back to that.  My goal is to help as many people as possible to feel as good as I do.  Each and everyone of you can do it.  I know you can!  
Get out there and try this do anywhere HIIT circuit.  

Have fun and remember

Ok guys I am keeping it real today!  I have been struggling big time since my competition! I had such an amazing time at Foxwoods and felt amazing.  The friends I make at each and every competition are so amazing.  It is nice to talk with those that have the same struggles, concerns and goals.
  Of course the day after the competition I let it all go and it is such a vicious circle.  As soon as I veer off track my whole train becomes derailed!  Clean eating has been nearly impossible and workouts have been lacking any kind of motivation!
It is especially hard since I am looking at my next competition not being until November but I am NOT happy when I am not lean.  I have decided over the last 2 days I want to be leaner then ever and I want to continue to do it the healthy way.
I do understand this takes time and I need to have patience for my muscle to grow and my metabolism to speed up.  Now I just need to find the patience!!!
Any help and support you guys can offer I would greatly appreciate 
I do enjoy challenging my body and my mind with my workouts and nutrtion so changing it up is what I need to get back on track.
I have some new recipes I am going to try this week and I am looking for a kick butt cardio class to join.  I'm thinking MMA style.
I hope that my struggles help you to realize we all get derailed from time to time....Get back on the track and full steam ahead.
