Find the motivation to lose weight with the HealthyWager weight loss bet and win cash prizes!

Progress has been slow since the holidays until this last week. I’m about 18lbs away from my HealthyWage challenger goal of 50lbs in 10 months. I’m more determined now than ever to reach my goal and let me tell ya…it’s gonna be tight. But that $3,240 is mine!

My cousin came across the commercial I shot with HealthyWage last year and wow what a blast that was! And honestly it was just the reminder and motivation I needed today to keep going. To keep reaching towards my second challenge of 50lbs in 10 months for $3200!

I always get nervous around the holidays because it’s all about the food for me. But this year I had HealthyWage to remind me that food is not the enemy, it is a tool. A tool to fuel and nourish my body so that I can keep on track to lose the 50lbs and win more than $3,000! I’m almost 23lbs down so only another 27lbs to go!

Raise if your hand if you struggle scheduling in time for workouts 🙋‍♀️

As a mom of 2, sometimes my workouts are done solo on my ...and sometimes I have my little ones joining me, like today at the park 🤗

What keeps me motivated to get them in is knowing that HealthyWage will PAY ME OVER $3,000 if I hit my personal weight loss goal of losing 50 pounds in 10 months.

Is it easy making my health a priority every day? Nope!

But is it worth it? SURE IS!

And you know who's also benefiting from me taking care of myself? My 2 gorgeous babes.

We got this mamas 💪

This is me last year after winning $2,700 with HealthyWage for losing 50 pounds in 7 months. And it’s a reminder of what I CAN accomplish when I fully commit to as that is so input to me. I'm back at it again after having my second baby and while it's not easy, I KNOW I can do it because I've done it before. This time, I'm challenging myself to lose 50 pounds in 10 months. If I hit my goal, HealthyWage will PAY ME OVER $3,000! We got this mamas!

Today marks 7 months until I win over $3,200 from HealthyWage for losing 50lbs. I’m a bit behind on my progress but today also marks 11lbs down from my starting weight. My clothes fit a little bitter. I’m just a hair stronger than I was at the start. And what I must remind myself every single day isn’t how hard I need to work but how consistent I need to be. 50lbs won’t lose themselves. 10 min of movement, on the grass at the park while Liam plays and Avery coos, is likely the best I’m going to get today. But 10 min is better than no minutes at all.

- wearing a size large instead of an XL or XXL postpartum. HealthyWage is helping me stay motivated and accountable as I lose the weight after baby #2 and by the end of these long 10 months I’ll be 50lbs lighter and over $3,200 richer!

Not a flattering angle by any means but such is life…it’s the only way I can get any workout in these days. Baby has to be napping and Liam has to climbing on me and then maybe I can get 15-20 minutes of movements in for the day. This is my reality right now and it has to be good t enough for now. A little something is better than nothing HealthyWage

It’s been about 6 weeks since I started this journey with and as of today I’ve lost 7lbs. It’s actually not as much progress as I’d like to have made by now but maybe that just goes to show how each pregnancy and postpartum journey is different. I can tell that my body is holding on to the weight and is struggling to adjust to less food while I continue to breastfeed and so this week I’m focusing on water intake and intuitively listening to my body and giving it what it needs. What should I do for myself when I hit the 10lb mark!?

Life lately - I feel like a blob. A blob of jiggly rubber, loose skin, gross hair that’s always in a bun and ill fitting clothes. But after the tough last week, I was renewed with energy for the weekend. I so desperately want to feel more like myself and the only way to do that is to commit to the things I know will bring me back there. So I took a break from weighing myself on the scale and just enjoyed some chaotic family time. Low and behold I weighed myself this morning and finally saw that number go down, just a smidge but I’ll take any ounce I can get. So today is Tuesday, but feels like a Monday, and today is all about survival 🤣

A baby, 50lbs and one year later…

This week was hard. Between taking care of my 2.5 year old and my 6 week old, I am tired. I watched the scale this week fluctuate between 1-2lbs in the upward direction which really hurt my ego and was so disappointing because I wanted to tell myself I was trying, that I was eating better and moving more. But the reality is that I wasn’t really trying that hard. I was giving it a B- effort. And on the other side of the same coin, I was eating when I was hungry and resting when I was tired so that my body could keep producing milk for my baby and energy for kids. I’m only 6 weeks postpartum and I can hear myself not giving myself any grace and patience. I thought about what I would say to my friends if the roles were reversed and I realized I would never speak to them the way I’m speaking to myself right now. And what’s more is I don’t want my children speaking to themselves this way. So with a renewed energy, motivation, patience and commitment to myself, I’m just going to try to make good choices and take it hour by hour. I will get back to the woman in the left picture…she’ll look a little different and she’ll have both hands completely full, but I’ll get there.

This fb page is meant to document my journey as I attempt to lose 50lbs for the second time. Only this time I’ve got two kids, one of which is still a newborn. So my plan is to keep it very real, very honest and to hold myself accountable

When I had my first baby, I was naturally at my heaviest. I was and continue to be so grateful to my body for safely carrying and delivering my baby boy. BUT about 5 postpartum, I reached my own personal level of maximum disgust. For me, the baby weight didn’t fall off, breastfeeding didn’t help, none of my clothes were fitting and I felt so…not me. I knew the better, healthier version of me existed and I just needed to find my way to her. So I signed up for and bet $1,400 that I could lose 50lbs in 7 months, just in time for Liam’s first birthday. And because I knew I could do it, because I could not bare to lose that money, I won my challenge and cashed my check for $2,700.

So here I a bit more than 2 years later, I just gave birth to my second child about 5 weeks ago and I’m ready to get back to the version of me that feels good, strong, and healthy. My new challenge is 50lbs in 10 months because let’s be real…I’m not as young as I once was!
