They say 80% of people quit their New Year's resolutions by mid February.

When you made that New Year's resolution three weeks ago, I bet you promised yourself you would not be a part of that statistic.

I’ve been there before. I’ve been in that 80%.

Keeping to your goals is hard. Commitment takes work, accountability, planning, and a lot of other things that are hard to fit into our busy days.

This year, I promised myself I’d make it into that 20%.

Am I perfect? Far from it.

But even in the MOST PREGNANT of states, I’ve stuck to my resolutions for 21 days and I’m not dropping out anytime soon.

These are my best tips avoiding becoming a statistic and for actually achieving your goals this year and becoming the version of you you’re desiring to be.

I have had 3 VERY different pregnancies BUT there was one consistent - the DESIRE to have it be as healthy as possible.

Our Baby Story…

“You can not get pregnant on your own”

When a doctor tells you this - you take it as bible.  And here I am 17 weeks 5 days pregnant at my 3 hour Glucose test.  What I’ve learned - we don’t know shit and life HAPPENS.

This preggo mama LIVES for breakfast nowadays and #MrParker whipped this up yesterday and I almost already polished it off #IBlameTheBaby

If you’re a busy mom like me I am going to assume you have a hard time putting yourself first.  Maybe you find yourself falling off the ol’ bandwagon every now and then… (and by falling off I mean like at a really fast pace, maybe a few broken bones and the wagon takes off at like 90mph AWAY from you)

Listen I am far from judging - I’m throwing my hands up in an “AMEN SISTER.  The struggle is fricken real”

If you had told me I was EVER going to write a blog about being a morning person I would’ve literally laughed in your face SO although this may mean the end of the world is near - I AM OFFICIALLY A SELF-PROCLAIMED MORNING PERSON.

Finally, I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to become who I already am" Thomas Merton

Ever hear a quote and have it hit you directly in the heart?

Vacations can wreak havoc on our health and Fitness goals.  We’re out of our routines, our days can be filled with situations (and food) out of our control and WHY is everything deep fried??

Last night I had the opportunity to interview Joel Freeman.  First - like WHAT?! How is this my life.  Second I thought - OMG I have to shower and put on makeup.

As I write this I am currently on a plane back to Boston and although I should be sleeping or maybe peeing alone one last time because in T-minus one hour I’ll be back in the happy chaos that is my life, BUT I simply can’t. 

If we’re being honest, up until this point I have ALWAYS been the person that tries to please everyone.  

“Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.” – Margaret Bonnano

You guys, we KNOW #MrParker slays in the kitchen, BUT I think this new meal plan has ignited his creative GENIUS (now too bad he doesn't read my blog to read this compliment! #truth)

Want to know what it is about this new meal plan that makes me SO excited…

It’s less structured in regards to eat this not that AND it addresses the elephant in the room - our relationship with food.  

Yesterday was my debut event and I SWEAR I am still riding the high…

Even a case of the stomach bug for Em and a few loads of laundry couldn’t bring me back to reality.  Or wait - could it?

I’m an emotional Eater that has tried EVERY diet in the world

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I thought “what a perfect time to write a follow up to my first post where I took my Anxiety public”

Today is my birthday - HELLOOOOOOOO 37!  This also means that it’s my Coach-aversary and it has me ALL sorts of emotional.

So as awesome as it would be if our kids could actually survive off cereal bars, frozen waffles and hot dogs  - that ain't happening SO we have found a few favorite meals and different ways to sneak in some healthy goods!
