I know a big part of setting and achieving goals is VISUALIZING how it will FEEL when you accomplish that goal.

I sure thought I had done that, but MAN was I in for a big surprise when I actually hit my big goal!!!!

I was a mess. Like, ONE BIG EMOTIONAL hot mess. No happy tears going on. Instead of the anticipated JOY and ELATION I was filled with FEAR and PANIC. Anxiety to the max. No smiles to be found. Only snot filled ugly crying, and me sitting on a hotel bed trying to catch my breath in between sobs.

It just didn’t make sense. I was so confused.

I was NOT anticipating that emotional response from myself WHATSOEVER.

DAY ONE workout is complete, and as of now I've consumed 4 of the 5 meals for the day.  Only two more left!  And I'm happy to report I'm not starving.  ;)  AND..... this nutrition plan actually feels doable.   CHEERS TO THAT!   

Over the weekend my husband Jayson and I prepped our workout space for 80 Day Obsession by painting one of the walls with chalkboard paint.  It's something I've been wanting to do for awhile.  And I felt it would motivate ME to have a wall of quotes, adding one each day.  

This has been on my heart for awhile now to talk about, but I'm still gathering my thoughts and putting them into words.  So bear with me on this.   

Here's the reality.... I have to admit I have a problem yelling at my kids.   It's so embarrassing to even admit that and share that with you guys.  I don't think I'm a MONSTER by any means, I don't see yelling as an everyday thing.  But it's enough that my kids aren't surprised to hear me yell.  And I have had my share of epic meltdowns where I essentially threw a temper tantrum yelling at my kids.    

The hard part for me to reconcile with that is as a child I VOWED I would be the cool & calm & collected mother.   Oh how I had such grand visions of the mother I would one day be!   

Have you heard about the hot new program coming out in the new year?

⚡️Timed nutrition
⚡️A focus on how much you SLEEP #cuzthatDOESmatter
⚡️80 different workouts for 80 days
⚡️Totally different than anything before released. 

I’ve been preparing today for a call I’m hosting for my team tonight. And #spoileralert - one of the topics I’m going to talk about is “creating from a place of JOY”.

Cuz I feel it’s important for my team to know they get to find JOY in their life NOW, and create & build their business from THAT place. NOT create and build their business from a place of misery SEEKING joy.  

You may think it doesn’t make a difference, but I do.  

Spent the afternoon with friends.  & now I’m working from the car with my laptop during my son’s soccer practice.  

Kiiiinda feel like I hit the jackpot. Okay... I know I did.  👏🏼⚡️💃🏼
I have time to be with my family. 💑
I have time to spend with friends. #lovemylunchdates

I have time to build a career, on MY terms.  📲

Yep, moms, you CAN build a business at home #thankyouwifi, and you DON’T have to sacrifice time with friends & family!

Social media can be a tricky thing. You see a before and after photo like this and it's SUPER easy to assume the journey was quick and easy and picture perfect.  

WELL, rarely is that the truth.  

I know there’s sooooo many of you who woke up this morning with one BURNING question on your mind.....

“Is Brigitte going to do her workout today??” 🤔

“I’m worried. It’s almost noon in her time zone and STILL, no workout check in.  😱 Is she going to do it? Is she, IS SHE???!!” 

The answer is...

Did I live?
Did I love?
Did I learn?
Did I leave a legacy?

I’m just getting off a call with the Vice President of Beachbody, Jeff Hill, and I’m pondering those questions. 

Questions I’ll likely ask myself at the end of my life, but since I’m feeling introspective today I’ll ask myself those questions now. 

And my reply is

"Oh, so you do BEACHBODY?? Is that company all about six packs and bikinis?" 

Listen, if THAT is your goal - GO FOR IT! Ain't no shame in rocking a six pack and bikini. And YEP!, Beachbody can help you get there. #wehaveaprogramforthat

But I'll tell you, FOR ME.... I just wanted to...

Friend, I want to let you know something. 

Goals are such a powerful force for GOOD in this world. ALWAYS have a goal you’re working towards.  

But remember this...... 

It was an adventure getting here that's for sure!

An Uber driver late to pick me up, plus hitting traffic - it wasn’t the best combo for an early morning flight.  

I was ten minutes past the deadline to check my bag.  😫😩😖 When the only option the airline offered was for me to pay 75 bucks to take the next available flight in 7 hours, I paid it without thinking it thru. As the lady tagged my baggage and put it on the belt I walked away and it hit me.  

Why don’t I...

I claim this time of year as SPECIAL. 

People think it’s the New Year that is empowering you to SET and ACCOMPLISH new goals.  

But in reality, it’s the November vibe.  

Year after year, THIS is when I successfulLY SET and TAKE ACTION on big goals.  

THIS is when I’m deep in self reflection, contemplating 🤔 “How did the past year go for me?” “Am I on track to END this year where I wanted?” “What do I want moving forward?”

Truly, so many MAJOR CHANGES in my life STARTED in NOVEMBER.  

November is when...

Did you know I owned P90X for five years before I actually completed the program?

I had the DVD’s, I had the meal plan, I had plenty of TOOLS to assist me in seeing results. And yet, even with the knowledge of what I needed to do to see results, I was STILL overweight.

What made the difference for me was

“What would you do if money wasn’t an influencing factor?”

I think that’s a pretty HEALTHY question to ask yourself, even when {ESPECIALLY WHEN} you’re making good money. 

I’ve asked myself that very question many times over the years. 

But I don’t think I really let that question SINK IN like I have the last year. 

First feeling of the day?  

I won’t lie.... the very first feeling I had this morning was anxiety. “I have so much that needs to get done, I’m so behind”

Second thought that entered my mind?  

“Gratitude is a magnet for miracles. So what can I be grateful for?”


This month I have traveled a lot. In fact, I’ve only been home a grand total of nine days this month. Crazy huh?! And four of those days I was

It's been awhile since I've shared a #TuesdayTransformation. 

The reality is THESE before & after photos are the social media posts that inspired ME to start my journey. So I feel an obligation to SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!

You feel like you can't make a change? YOU CAN
You feel like you can't lose the weight? YOU CAN
You feel like you can't build long lasting healthy habits? YOU CAN

Recent lesson learned— THERE IS IMMENSE POWER IN WRITING YOURSELF A PERMISSION SLIP. 

I had never considered needing a permission slip. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But as I listened to a new book on the flight to Mexico that’s exactly what the author recommended. 

I listened to Brene Brown share how she had the idea one day to write herself a permission slip to be happy, and how much POWER she felt in that. 

Upon hearing this, I immediately...

“Mom, do you have any work that needs to be done around the house? Would you consider hiring me to come deep clean, or complete some scrapbook pages so I could earn some money?”
When we first moved to Idaho Falls we were just coming off our bankruptcy. We were getting by on a month to month basis. But vacations? Out of the question. 
I remember when our 5 year anniversary was approaching in 2010 I wanted to do SOMETHING to celebrate. 
Five years of marriage - kind of a big deal! 
I figured the ONLY way we’d be able to do ANYTHING was for

I saw this quote tonight and now I'm thinking over this crazy little journey of life. I guess that will happen if the kids are busy watching a movie on a road trip and I'm left with quiet time. Lol. 

But this quote is very very true. In fact, the reality of this is what snapped me out of my life funk! 💫

You guys know I first became acquainted with depression as a kid in sixth grade. It was a constant companion for over a decade to follow...
