TOTALLY NOT bragging...but I woke up a HALF HOUR earlier today just because I WAS SO excited to get my day started! That is pretty common for me because I LOVE what I do! I have a group of people killing it in my "Ain't Nobody Got Time For Flab" group (like or comment if you are IN THAT GROUP)! AND today is day 1 of my "Lean & Clean P90 Test Group"! It is always exciting to start a new group and workout...so much enthusiasm and dedication!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I might come across confident and happy and "balanced" on here, but we ALL have our "things". I have anxiety. Not for typical things like public speaking or about what people might think about me or leading a team of other leaders.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
I have anxiety for everyday mundane things like being late, travel and variations in my schedule. And I have passed it down to one of my kids, GREAT! I used to have MAJOR anxiety attacks in my SLEEP! It would manifest itself A<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> LOT when I was a teacher and I would do CRAZY things in my sleep. I have learned, over time, to manage my anxiety but it really creeped back up while in China. This is another HUGE reason why I have to exercise and eat cleaner. Did you know processed foods actually contibute to anxiety and depression? And we ALL know that the chemicals produced in exercise help with balancing our hormones and moods.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
So, I had asked earlier if anyone was interested how I decided to become a member of the <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=18523396549" href="https://www.facebook.com/LDS" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints</a>. More than a few were interested, so here is the story. I will title it, "How I Became a Mormon" or "My ENTIRE Life Story"...HAHA Read if you'd like. If not, scroll on, my friend.<br />***************************************************************************************<br />I have the wonderfully unique opportunity to be the "baby" of five siblings. What makes it so unique is that we are spread out in age and most of my siblings were adults my entire childhood. I LOVE the fact that my parents have been married for SIXTY years! <i class="_4-k1 img sp_LWp1MpKGrs1 sx_160c3b" style="background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yP/r/90b8T5aM1AH.png); background-position: 0px -7850px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i> My parents were both raised in separate religions pretty strictly. My father is the son of a Baptist Army Chaplain and my mother was raised Roman Catholic, which produced a lot of "fireworks" with their parents when they fell in love.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Imagine what THAT was like when my older brother met a Mormon in high school and decided that was the religious path he wanted to choose. From what I've heard my parents were very supportive. I was a baby so his decision didn't have much of an influence on me. However, my middle sister, was affected by his conversion and began learning about it for herself in her teenage years. Along with great friends, an obsession with Donnie Osmond and a blossoming testimony, she decided to get baptized when she was sixteen. My brother was called to serve a mission in Scotland and my father still says that was the most blessed two years of their life. At that time I was still very young, so I remember two things....talking on cassette tapes to send to Elder Drake in Scotland and the cutie missionaries coming to our home to teach my teenage sister.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
From then on I really did not have much to do with any sort of religious experiences. My parents had taught me about God, Jesus Christ and prayer but going to church was never anything we did. I really had no idea if I was Baptist, Catholic or Mormon-by-association. But I was busy living my worldly, social and MTV driven life and really didn't give it too much thought.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Of course, late teen years are when we are trying to "figure it all out". I headed to Southern California, Fullerton College and later to Cal State Fullerton, where I only knew one person. I chose that area because I could go to the beach during the day and go to parties at night. I quickly began having one college experience after another and, looking back, it WAS a great time of my life. Being a character at Disneyland, a passionate romance, changing my major FOUR times and learning that I loved working at a hotel were just a few of the highlights. I met some very great people who I'm still very close to. I cherish those years!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It was in my senior year of college that the <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=259235360763343" href="https://www.facebook.com/LDSMissionaries" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">LDS Missionaries</a> came into my life. My roommate began seriously dating a Mormon guy (and they got married YAY!) and they began knocking on our door. I felt this incredible need to defend the Mormon church when it came up, because my siblings believed in it and I often got into controversial dialogue about it. One time when my roommate was "dodging them" I said, "Hey, I would love to chat with you. BUT I will never cook you dinner AND I AM NOT getting baptized. I really just want some questions answered so I can defend your religion to others." HAHAHA</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I am a firm believer that there is a "missionary" out there for everyone. "My" Elder Hatch had just converted a year prior and did not judge me for all my exciting lifestyle choices. Even though I was NOT looking for a life-change, I was very happy with where I was going, I asked them to come back because I wanted to know why my sister wore different under-clothes and we hadn't gotten to that yet! The next time they came over they brought me a copy of <a class="profileLink" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=245823945473508" href="https://www.facebook.com/bookofmormon" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;">The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ</a>, but I went over to my bookshelf and took one my brother had given to me before his mission.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Now, at that point in my life I had been doing quite a bit of reading for school. When I opened the Book of Mormon and began to read something felt very different. Not different in an unfamiliar way, different in a feeling way. I didn't understand much of it, but I knew right away, without a doubt, that an unlearned boy COULD NOT have written these words. I knew that what I was reading was divine and the word of God. That was the moment where I decided to listen more clearly to what it was that was written. I had learned about the Bible and Bible stories and never doubted them. When I read the Book of Mormon it was like the Bible all made sense to me. They complimented each other and it felt right. The missionaries asked me to pray about what I was reading to know if it was true...I already knew.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
People often ask me how I went from drinking alcohol, coffee and doing a variety of other worldly things to NOT doing them OVERNIGHT. I stopped a plethora of things, "Cold turkey", because once I knew that the words I was reading were true and divine, it was very easy to change my actions. The missionaries asked me to come to church. They really wanted me to go to a college congregation so that I would be with people that I had things in common with. I chose not to since I was so far from my family, I was interested in the congregation that had families in it. This decision changed the course of my life. Sitting in that church I looked at the families. The dads in suits, moms with diaper bags full of snacks and little kids with runny noses and I KNEW that I wanted to be in a building just like that, every Sunday for the rest of my life. That day I called my parents and said, "Will you come to my baptism?" They said, "Into what church?" and when I told them which church they, again, were very supportive of my choice. As a matter of fact, almost every single member of my family (including my Catholic Nana) traveled to Southern California to be a part of my baptism. That day I didn't feel different from myself, I just felt closer to the REAL me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
If you are looking for the "next season spoilers"...hahaha...here are some quick highlights. THE VERY SAME MONTH that I chose to get baptized Elder Bottom, far away in Kobe, Japan wrote a letter to his father saying he did not want to go to University of Utah and, that for some weird reason, he felt he should go to Cal State Fullerton. Looking back, it was very clear WHY he was inspired to change his school. I continued on with my studies and became active in church life. When Elder Bottom returned from his mission he quickly began dating another girl. He and I became friends and I really, REALLY didn't think anything about him. He was cute and a surfer but I had Mormon boys to date and a plan to return back to Northern California to get my teaching credential. I did not have TIME or A NEED to meet a husband. But, everything happens for a reason, and the next thing I knew I was telling Mark that he needed to dump that girl and date me because I would treat him so much better...the rest is history!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Hey, if you even made it to the end....thank you for listening. I don't regret ANYTHING I did before those missionaries taught me because I learned how (first hand) our Savior, Jesus Christ, forgives us. If His Atonement works for me, it can work for anyone. I have been active every single day since I made the decision to get baptized. I AM THE strict one with our teens because I HAVE SEEN IT AND DONE IT. I love knowing that we can be together after we die. I love the fact that I can know that I can see my ancestors again. I love focusing on the good in people, instead of all the scary things we are presented with. AND I LOVE knowing that a loving Father in Heaven has a plan for EACH of us and wants us to be happy. <i class="_4-k1 img sp_LWp1MpKGrs1 sx_160c3b" style="background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yP/r/90b8T5aM1AH.png); background-position: 0px -7850px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i></div>

My WHY is these kiddos right here. I know what it is like to have low self-esteem and not feel comfortable in my own skin. I also now know that what we eat is heading us either towa<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">rd disease or from it. So, of course, I want to prevent them from all of this. Any parent knows that walking the walk is so much more effective than talking the talk. THAT IS WHAT keeps me going daily! However...**confession time** lately I realize that when they are at school I am on point with my nutrition. When I splurge it is ALWAYS with them. Simple math...In the short amount of time that they are with me they are not seeing my best modeling ( not runway model) behavior.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If I could pinpoint one reason why it would be that I challenged myself to eat 3 servings of RAW veggies everyday as snacks. It worked because I was not hungry to eat other stuff! Try it! I am ready to do it again this week! Will you do it with me?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I used to take my birthday as an opportunity to be lazy and eat sugar-laden treats! Hey, I LOVE a good cupcake...BUT this year I am IN THE ZONE. I LOVE the way I feel when I exercise, so YOU BET I had a great sweat session this morning. And you know what? NOTHING tastes as good as feeling lean, healthy and toned. That is SO MUCH better than a few minutes of deliciousness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I have a plan! Yep, we ARE going out tonight to celebrate. I get a free surf n' turf dinner. YUM. But I will SHARE a dessert with someone. AND I will not take this weekend off of my goals! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">One of my worries is that you see my posts about running, eating healthy and exercise and you think, "I can never do what she does. She has never been where I am at."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">I want you to know that I HAVE BEEN THERE. For well over a decade of my life I was very overweight. Food controlled my actions and thoughts. I was depressed and miserable. It affected my relationships, my spirituality and my job. The consistent happiness I felt came from food and, even though t was temporary, I used it more and more often. My children brought me great joy, but that was quickly masked with doubts about deserving THEIR love.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><br />The person you see now, posting and motivating you is that same person. Over time, I have peeled away the layers of self-doubt and with every step in the right direction I have become the person I am today. It does take the decision that YOU ARE BETTER than a life of misery. We ALL deserve happiness, TRUE happiness that comes from inside rather than a pastry.<br /><br />How? By taking small steps today in the right direction. You don't have to change everything, all at once.<br />1. Today, decide, that YOU are worth it! Struggling with that? I can help. Message me and I will personally talk to you about it. Because I have been there. And I know how it feels.<br />2. Once you have decided that you ARE WORTH IT, choose to step on that path. Scared you will fail? Yep! We ALL are! But you won't know if you can succeed unless you take that first step.<br />3. Take someone's hand. Support was the magic for me to keep me going when I wanted to fail. Who wants to fail? I did! When it got hard and I wanted that instant gratification that food gave me my support helped me to remember WHY I was on this journey. I can be that support for you! I am grateful for a friend that told me she believed in me and didn't know that she was changing the course of my life!<br /><br />I have been there. Don't ever doubt that! I can help you! <i class="_4-k1 img sp_LWp1MpKGrs1 sx_160c3b" style="background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yP/r/90b8T5aM1AH.png); background-position: 0px -7850px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: auto; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i> Jen</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
CRAVINGS? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ugh, we ALL have them! Some are salty, some are sweet, some are on certain days of the month, some are certain hours of the day. Guess what? There is NO secret potion to make them go away...although Shakeology CERTAINLY helps with them, have you noticed? That is because your body craves what we feed it....more on that later!</div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17.563634872436523px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: center;">
Often times a "craving" is merely our mind suggesting something to us. Maybe it was from old habits (ie: going through drive thru on c<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ertain nights of the week) or traditions (ie: passing around See's Candy while opening Christmas presents). Either way, very few times our body is ACTUALLY needing that food item.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17.563634872436523px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: center;">
Case in point...at the beginning of the summer I did Beachbody's Ultimate Reset, which is a 21 detox and cleanse program with 100% clean eating. As mentioned earlier, I ALWAYS crave sweets a few days before I start my period. **LIKE "GIVE ME CHOCOLATE OR YOU DIE" CRAVE** Well, of course part of the Ultimate Reset included those days and guess what? I did not NEED sweets at all!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, when we CRAVE a burger, ice cream, chips or cheese...ask yourself these questions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Am I bored, tired, thirsty, hurt or angry? And is that why I want this?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Is this a "mind suggestion" (like seeing a commercial) or do I really NEED it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. If I eat this WILL I be able to bounce right back to my meal plan immediately? (BE HONEST! You will ONLY hurt yourself in you aren't)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Is this something that is special and "one of a kind"?</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If, after you answer these questions honestly, you still want that treat...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I SAY GO FOR IT!</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*EAT IT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*OWN IT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*ENJOY IT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*MOVE ON</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ALL KNOW deprivation does not work! This is NOT a diet, this is a lifestyle! And if you saw my In N' Out Double Double post yesterday you saw that A) I don't want a life without Double Doubles and B) I learned that running the day after was HORRID! You will find that a lot of the times you will learn it is NOT worth the splurge and you will be stronger from it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you had a craving that you were strong through?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you indulged in a craving and learned from it?</div>

If you have been following me for a while you know that I have one day a month of pure rebellion...it is my mind that just says "forget it!" I woke up totally normal</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"> yesterday and stuck to my schduled workout routine and then.it.hit...around noon. At lunch I chose wisely...but by 3:00pm I was in full "I can eat whatever the heck I want" mode. So I did!<br /><br />Wanna know what? Frozen chocolate custard with mint chocolate chip Italian ice (when I go, I go all out!) AND a steak burrito from Café Rio! Yep! I rebelled hard! Here is what I learned from it!<br />- I am done now and totally back on track because I made sure my moments of rebellion were AWESOME!<br />- My workout this morning was heavy, I think due to that 5 lb burrito in my tummy.<br />- My "splurge" over the weekend (fro yo) didn't do it for me...if I am gonna splurge I need to make it count. (You may be completely different, or not).<br />- I did do some things well yesterday and I need to still be happy about that.<br />Okay, can't wait to eat clean today!<br />Do you have a rebellious day? How often?</span><br />
