30 Day Challenge

Filed under: Fit Moms · January 7, 2018

We are 7 days into 2018 and some of us are already working hard towards those New Year’s Resolutions and some of us haven’t even gotten started yet. If you are like me, maybe you were waiting until the kids went back to school. In my last post I told you some of my secrets or let’s call them fun facts. One of the things that I struggle with is being consistent. I start off feeling all motivated and eager to get shit done and then before I know it, my mind wants to do something else. Or I get distracted with the busyness of mom life and make excuses not to finish what I started.

 

So this year I am starting a 30 day yoga challenge. I am going to call it the self love challenge.  I have taken a few classes here and there over the past few months and I have a new appreciation for the practice and challenging my mind and body to accomplish something that I have never done. I made excuses in the past because of my spinal surgery but I have learned to listen to my body and just go with the flow. I will no longer say that I am getting old or I am to busy. I am doing this for me. I will show myself some love and make the time and effort to accomplish this goal.

 

 

 

I challenge you to join me. Maybe not in yoga but in working out daily, eating healthier, painting, writing, singing, praying, or meditation…whatever it is that you feel called to do. If you have a busy schedule and can’t make a class or prep a healthy meal, there are lots of youtube tutorials to guide you. I thought that I had to physically attend a yoga or workout class for it to count. The truth is you can do it anywhere and still reap the benefits. So let’s get this party started. Let me know what your 30 day challenge is in the comments below. Tag me @sportymommas or #sportymommas so we can cheer each other on. #YOUGOTTHIS

 

XO,

Bowling Bash 2016

Filed under: News & Events · October 2, 2016

The 4th Annual Bowling Bash was a huge success. I must admit it was a lot more work than last year and I had a few doubts a long the way. However, with the help of family, friends and support in the community we were able to raise thousands of dollars for the Sporty Momma’s Charitable Fund and Jackson Health Foundation’s Breast Cancer Initiative. A special thank you to all of our sponsors; Design Therapy of Miami, Pilates Pro Works Miami, Sporty Mommas, Sharolyn Turner, Ron Butler, Shannon Stewart, Miami Threads, Fabulous Girls Rock, Emarvanay Collection, C&G Engines, Rob Weintraub and Carrie Giordano. We could not have done it without you. Teamwork does truly make the dream work. I cannot wait until 2017!

The Countdown

Filed under: News & Events · September 1, 2016

I can’t believe it is September! That means we are only 27 days away from our 4th Annual Charity Bowling Bash. We cannot do this event alone so please support this great cause.

Disney Memorial Day Soccer Shootout

Filed under: Mom Life · May 31, 2016

We had such a fabulous Memorial Day weekend. On Friday we packed up the Caddy and headed to Orlando for the last soccer tournament of the season. Everything about the trip was excellent except that we didn’t make it to the playoffs. The girls didn’t seem to mind. They were to busy playing in the pool, roasting marshmallows and partying.

IMG_4273

The Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort is such a great place for families. It has 5 pools, two water slides, a lazy river miniature golf, lots of restaurants and amazing views. We were spoiled rotten on this trip and got to stay in a three bedroom Presidential Suite. (Thanks hubby) It was so cool. As a family of 5 we need our space and the suite life was perfect for us. If you are heading to Orlando anytime soon I highly recommend staying here.

The best part of the weekend was that the parents had a great time too. We got to relax by the pool, eat, talk trash and drink, yes lots of drinks. The frozen strawberry lemonade was on point! The bonding time was priceless and it was a great way to end the season. I will definitely miss this group of moms. Our team will split up and we will be on different teams in the Fall. I pray that they are just as cool as these mommas!

Dance those pounds away!

Filed under: Fit Moms · April 21, 2016

I feel so lucky to be dancing regularly again (but in a different way). After owning my own dance studio in Colorado for over ten years I had to say goodbye to Studio B and focus on my growing family. As a mom of three my schedule gets hectic but a few months ago I found my way back to my passion, dance! I became a certified Zumba instructor in March 2015.

Now I dance to mostly Latin beats but if you know me, you know that I love all music and all types of dance. Teaching Zumba has helped me drop those extra pounds from baby number three and do something I love. Today the scale showed the weight I was before my last pregnancy almost 5 years later but none the less I have made it back and I couldn’t have done it without Zumba! Sometimes I get tired and think about quitting but then I see the smiling faces and hear the wonderful testimonies from my students. It confirms that I am doing what I should be doing and it’s something that I thoroughly enjoy. Hey think about it, I get paid to keep in shape! I hope that everyone can find something that they enjoy!

If you are in South Florida come check me out at LA Fitness (Flagler and Bird Rd) on Wednesdays and Thursdays!

#noexcuses

Filed under: Mom Life · April 15, 2016

It’s no secret that we live in a busy world. I was talking to another #bossmom on Wednesday about how fast paced Miami is and how we are always on the run. How do you find time to workout, eat clean and make time for yourself when you are always on the go? I use to make excuses I don’t have time to workout, I don’t have time to cook, why eat clean? Well four months ago I decided to quit making excuses and just give it a try.

With the help of healthier fast food options like Grown and Dr. Smood, I have cut back on a lot of processed foods and swapped out fresh juices and smoothies instead of Starbucks everyday. (Yes I went to Starbucks every weekday) I also try my best to shop at Whole Foods where I know I am surrounded by healthier options. It is a little more expensive but hey you get what you pay for. I never thought I would eat raw oats or drink avocado smoothies, but they actually taste pretty good.

Making time to workout is a must nowadays. When I don’t go to Pure Barre or hit the track I feel out of whack. I do not workout everyday but I do at least 3 days a week. This is my “ME” time. I am working on building a stronger body and a calmer mind lol! Don’t get it wrong, I also schedule lunch with a friend at least once a week.

As a result I have dropped a few pounds and I feel great. I know it is not easy but if you believe you can do it and set small goals you will get it done! Yes we live in a busy world where everyone is trying to keep up with social media and television but remember most of those posts are not authentic. You have to do what works for you. #yougotthis

One of my favorite fashion hacks is buying matching sets! You can always mix and match the pieces or add a blazer or jean jacket! Most of the time I just rock the set with a nice bag! Do you like matching sets?

Come along with me to my Figurella session! Figurella is a unique weight loss program that helps boost your metabolism, lose weight, detox and  tone. It has been around for over 30 years! I love that it is low impact but burns calories! One 30 minute workout in the bubble is equivalent to an hour  and a half in a regular gym. This is because of the unique temperature control technology! 

Since joining Figurella not only have I dropped ten pounds but I have lost over 6 inches and I feel like my old self again! 

So if you are looking to get into your best shape head over to Figurella Pinecrest and tell them that Sporty Mommas sent you! @figurellapinecrest

Two months ago I decided that I wanted a change. I was tired of how my clothes were fitting and I just didn’t feel good about myself. So I knew it was time to try something different. I decided to invest in my health and wellness. As moms we do so much for everyone else but we don’t always do the same for ourselves. I’m so close to my goal of losing ten pounds (like a pound away 😂) and I’m so proud that I stuck with it! 

Here is your sign to invest in YOU and not feel guilty about it! Whether it’s a personal trainer, life coach, therapist or meal plan do whatever you need to do to be your best self!!!
