Growing Ghoens: Week 17 Bumpdate

Yesterday we wrapped up week 17, baby bear.

This week you eased up on the nausea & gave me 4 straight days of no throwing up (hallelujah).. we had our first big bowl of broccoli again in MONTHS thanks to dissipating food aversions.. & I think you let me feel you for the first time.

That rolling, fish deep in my tummy sensation was the coolest thing I think I've ever experienced before with my body. If it was you, please do it again & often. That little reminder that you're in there & growing strong gives me more joy than you could ever know!

Your room is finally painted, but we're on the hunt for the right lighting.

The color we chose is a perfect grey that looks totally normal in natural lighting, but gives off a purple hue at night..  don't worry, we'll figure it out if you're a little boy or hate purple. We finally cleared out the lingering guest room furniture (thanks to Mimi & Papa for storing it) from our entry way & assembled your rocking chair.

I just love sitting in your room & just thinking about what life is going to be like.. what YOU'RE going to be like.  How you will be our most mysterious, probably difficult & yet AMAZING adventure thus far.

Your dad talks to you all the time now, which is heart-melting & creepy all at once. Although I know you're the reason my belly is growing week to week, it still catches me off guard when your dad comes to touch you or talk to you.. my stomach has never had this much attention before, little one.

Speaking of things being creepy, are you as weirded out as I am when people want to touch you? If you've inherited ANY of my personal space beliefs or reservations then I know the answer is yes.

Baby cub, what's the most polite way to tell people not to touch our bump?

We'll talk more about that later as you get bigger, I guess :)

Okay little pumpkin.. We're starting a new routine back up with work + fitness + nutrition this week. Mom's got GOALS that she wants to tackle with you.. what do you say?

Next Up:

21 Day Fix Extreme Meal Plan + Workouts {2nd trimester edition}

Coming up with a new schedule for our 2017 business goals.

How does it feel to be second in charge? Pretty sweet?

Time to get healthier, stronger & tackle some achievements for our family while we help people!

I've got a got a good feeling about week 18, baby bear.

We love you to the moon & back!

Gracefully Balanced is NASHVILLE BOUND!

#‎GracefullyBalanced‬ is NASHVILLE BOUND for Summit in T-Minus NINE days!!!

.

Each summer, thousands (like 20k +) of coaches gather for our annual SUMMIT -- an opportunity for awesome workshops, incredible guest speakers, live workouts, exciting announcements & good ole fashion fellowship between teams.

.

Last July was my very first time attending Summit in Nashville, TN & it hands DOWN impacted myself, my business & my ability to lead my team in such a BIG, positive way.

.

Life responsibilities & little nuggets might be keeping a few of the coaches on our team from joining us this year, but I'm SO excited to spend time with Alyssa & Brittany -- connecting on a 1:1 level, introducing them to other leaders, watching the visions for their teams develop & seeing them set some amazing personal goals that will positively affect so many around them.

.

You might not be able to join us THIS summer in Nashville, but you can still reach out now to learn more about what it takes to be a part of Gracefully Balanced & the amazing growth happening on our team.

.

We're moving onto some big, exciting things no matter what -- but it would sure be awesome if you joined us!!

.

Time to JUMP

Proud to be a Teambeachbody Coach

One of the things I care about most is that I build my business & lead my team with my heart, passion & integrity - above ALL else.

Did you know there are 200+ million people in North America who are overweight & obese? But if I'm being honest & speaking from the heart, the only thing I care equally about as people being healthy is how they FEEL everyday about themselves!

Are they happy & confident?

Are they uncomfortable in their own skin?

Are they cutting their life short due to poor daily choices?

Are they missing out on memories because of a lack of confidence?

Are they feeling alone or like something's just missing?

I've learned a lot from Beachbody's CEO - Carl Daikeler - AND from my amazing mentor, dear friend & leader - Brittany LeGette. And y'all -- I've got to share our passion for who a 'COACH' really is.

This machine of a business is built on heart <3 span="">

We have THE solution for a population that really wants, craves & needs CHANGE -- y'all, I can say this, because I WAS one of those people.

Team Beachbody takes the group of people who NEED change and they give the opportunity to make an income off of our OWN fitness // wellness success. 

Helping people go from OBESE to NOT - plus giving them a financial lever to do so - THAT truly is unlike anything else.

The business model is there.

The products are simply unrivaled.

The access is these tools is SO convenient.

And the support is really just one of a kind. 

Our products work. And we get paid to have results.

Some would say this is the total package -- but one thing is missing, which is the >work< that we've GOT to do.

WE have to be the ones though to press play on our 30 minute workout in our garage or living room every day. WE have to fuel our bodies with Shakeology & healthy foods -- which includes the occasional donuts.

When we do that though. Those simple, consistent behaviors.. The results WILL come. There's just no way around it.

Beachbody guarantees this formula so much - that they will GIVE you your money back. And if that's not proven confidence - I really don't know what is..

Coaches share the journey.

We don't push the product.

We connect with people.

And we find something that's going to HELP + SERVE.

Why WOULDN'T you be a coach?! 

We are a network focused on relationships, solution & change... & it works.

And that's why I am proud to be a Team Beachbody Coach.

(Thank you, Britt for your never ending inspiration. And for introducing me to this amazing opportunity that's making WAVES!)
