Simply Fit with Kelly

Its time to change my office. Gone is the wall with quotes to inspire others...up with the things that inspire me. I found this amazing picture today for only $30. Cause a girl can't have too many barns y'all! 😆

I was a bundle of nerves today as I closed out by business account. Simply Fit with Kelly is officially closed. Fingers crossed that this was the right move for me. I feel very accomplished in what I set out to do as a trainer and I have no regrets. I am moving forward in an attempt to fulfill a life long dream...one that I can no longer ignore. One that will haunt me if I don't at least give it a solid try. Lots of details to work out first. Super nervous yet super excited. Stay tuned to see the next chapter of this crazy journey I call "life". Meanwhile, I'll see you at the gym!

The turn of each new year offers a chance for change, to start over, a redo. I, however, am not one who likes change very much, so I tend to avoid it myself. Routine has always suited me best. But I've reached a point in my life where opportunity has presented itself and I realize I can only carry so much at once. I am a dreamer at heart but capable of only catching one dream at a time.
The pictures you see are the folders of all my past clients and the hundreds of hand written workouts that I prepared for them. Countless hours of blood, sweat and tears. Pages of documented weight loss, blood work, lowered cholesterol, disposed of medications, goals set then reached and regained self esteem. These folders and the people they hold dear are priceless to me. I hope that our journey together will be looked back on as a pivotal and positive one in their lives. Each one of them have taught me so much about true drive and commitment as well as what the human body can endure and redeem. I am so proud of all of them and feel extremely privileged to have been a part of their journey and success. It has truly been an honor. Of course, I myself will continue to workout and am always open to offering advice and help to those in search of it. My certification as a trainer is valid until 2021 but I will no longer be advertising as such. I will keep this page open and continue to post healthy recipes and inspirational examples of a healthy lifestyle. But don't worry, you haven't seen or heard the last of me. I have made a conscious decision to focus on something that I have dreamed of doing all my life. Those of you who know me well....shhhh.....Im not ready yet. Let's just say that it's about time that I start listening to my own advice. Big hugs to all who have supported me. Stay healthy, stay strong and dream BIG!!

Beast Mode!! Resistance on 10!

My mommy superpower? The ability to do ANY two things at once. Multitasking is my specialty!

Killed it yesterday!!

"I'm an apostrophe. I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see....Whatever it Takes"

Copycat Panera Bread broccoli soup with a side of Honey Baked Ham. I love cold weather cooking!

Hobo dinner...my kids have the best school lunches!

Cleaned my entire house this morning. Stopped by the grocery store to get stuff for dinner. Just finished a quick workout at my neighborhood gym. Now I can relax with blueberries and a book in the pick up line at school. Cause that's what moms do...all the things! 😆

So...I had the most amazing deep tissue massage yesterday with my favorite therapist, Pamela Smith. She may be tiny but she sure packs a punch! Let's just say that the lactic acids are flowing today. 😆 These tiny toxins are mad and looking for a way out. No matter if you are someone like me who is in a constant state of "sore" due to training or you've just had a great message, a good cleanse is key. First, water, water and more water. A nice warm Epson salt bath (I love Dr. Teal's Eucalyptus and Spearmint) followed by some Argonne Body Gelee from their detox line (sold by my friend Teri Cloutier if your interested) I will be ready for action in no time. Play hard!!

Most people assume that because I eat a certain way that I force my family to do the same. The truth is that they don't know any other way. But, they are kids (my husband included) and I do treat them as such on occasion. 😆 I had some leftover eggs and sausage from yesterday and I threw in some blueberries just in case...but last night when I asked Leah was she wanted for breakfast in the morning she said "chocolate and bacon"...so there you have it...breakfast is served!
