Just this Sunday we got married and had our dream wedding! I will be posting pictures soon! So happy to say I have never been this happy. God is truely blessing us.

Daniel is an amazing cook except when we first met. The first time he cooked for me he burnt my grilled cheese because he was too busy talking to me. It was so sweet though. It made me like him even more. But he has fully redeemed himself in the cooking arena!

Essential Oils Monthly Order Unboxing August 2016

I love the moment when I hear the doorbell ring and open the door to see a Young Living box waiting on my doorstep. It makes me feel like a little kid again on my birthday, opening gifts. I love being able to receive treats in the mail, I am a HUGE lover of mail and packages. But this Young Living box that comes in the mail every month is special. It is always full of healthy natural products to make my life or my fiancé's life better. We are both on a fitness journey to heal our bodies from the stress we have put on them. It takes a lot of trail and error but we can slowly see differences in how we feel.

This month I finally got to order 2 items that I had scanned for on the iTOVi Scan I had 2 months back. The iTOVi scanner combines bioimpedance, pressure sensor, temperature, and Bluetooth® technologies to generate personalized wellness evaluations. Basically it scans which Young Living products you need. It can blow your mind how accurate it is. But anyways everything I scanned for was on back order and I finally found 2 of the products available so I grabbed them up! I will start with the two products that I scanned for and them the other three I got as treats for me.

Rehemogen

This is a product that helps with digestion and cleansing. It is in a little dropper bottle and you add a little bit to a glass of water. I assume that I scanned for this because of the 4 rounds of antibiotics I took for a UTI. All 4 rounds failed in treated it and I took care of it naturally. But I still had that damage to my digestive system due to the antibiotics.

Detoxzyme

This product is used to promote good gut health and help in healing your gut. You take 1-2 capsules between meals for better digestion. I hoping right now it will help my with heartburn and gas that has been haunting my pregnancy. I bet though I scanned for it because of my antibiotics.

Einkorn Rotini Pasta

This is an such a life saver for your gut and HARD to find wheat in this pure of form. Einkorn is known as the oldest variety of wheat. It is still in its pure and unmodified form in the pasta. For you this means it has low gluten levels and its chemical structure is far more simple than todays wheat so your body can process it better. I LOVE everything Einkorn I have tried. It tastes so pure and refreshing. It is like going from great value bread to fresh bread from a bakery; you can just taste and feel the difference in its purity.

Basil Vitality

Basil is used to help a bunch of different problems. Here are a few: Relieves coughs and colds, Reduce Ear Discomfort, Swelling, Soothes migraines, Uplifts spirits, Reduces chronic fatigue, and soothes insect bites. The Vitality past of the Basil essential oil just meals the FDA has approved it as a dietary supplement.

Lavender Oatmeal Soap

This was a fun treat for me! It is soap made with pure essential oils in it. It is also all vegan. It is hypoallergenic and made without synthetic dyes or colorants, parabens, petrochemicals, or sulfates. It is a great product that is safe for the whole family. Especially for a nice bath. Great treat for a mom.


I am so excited to try all these items. I just took my first Detoxyme Capsule this morning. I cannot wait to see how much better I feel with adding these products into my life. I love slowly incorporating healthy and natural products into my life. My goal is to one day have a 100% natural and chemical free home!

Country Heat: My Saving Grace for my Third Trimester

As all of you know I have been trying my BEST to be healthy and stay fit while being pregnant. It is in my heart to do the best I can to grow the healthiest baby and be the healthiest mama. The past 4 weeks I had been having troubles saying NO to my constant cravings. I have stopped giving in and the biggest help has been getting a push partner. She is my push partner in fitness and my coaching business but seeing her eat health and work her butt off to lose weight makes me want to do the same. In one week of cutting out my Candy Bar Sundaes, Slurpee's, and sopapillas; I lost 1.5 lbs. I am super proud of that, because I knew it was a problem and I was able to notice it and fix it. 

I recently started having leg cramps, intense muscle pain, and shooting pain in my wrist, shoulder and hip. I realized my normal weights, push ups, and squats were no longer the best option for me. So I want super thankful when my Country Heat Package arrived. It is all country dancing but an amazing workout. Last night I did the first workout and I have seriously NEVER felt better!!! I was so happy. I easily made it through a 30 minute workout, dripping in sweat and still had a smile on my face. That never happens for me! I swear this was my blessing to make it through my third trimester which I will be entering next Tuesday! So I am happier than I have ever been with my fitness journey. 

I am also enjoying planning my meal plan with the fixate program. I will be adding in containers as needed but it will all be healthy and clean food. I do not want to deprived my body of food since I am growing a strong little cowboy! But I am going to take meal prep up a notch and I already have amazing ideas! Make sure you are following me on Snapchat that is where I ALWAYS post my meal prep process. My Snapchat is daradventures.  

I am so excited to being doing what is best for MY health and for BABY's health! I feel more motivated than I have in a long time and am 110% happy. This little cowboy is gonna be strong and so handsome. I want to give him the best nutrients I possibly can while he is in my tummy and while breastfeeding him. So the motivation to be healthy for him will honestly never end. Even when I stop breastfeeding him I will want to set an amazing example for him to live by.

Check out my video below to see what ALL comes in the Country Heat Base kit. 

 

Why Does This Crazy Chick spend over $200 a Monthly on being Healthy and Claim she is Saving Money?!?!

It still to this day amazes my mom why when I have a baby on the way and I could be saving every dime for him; why then would I spend over $200 a month on being healthy! Even my fiancé used to say I was wasting money on my Shakeology, Oils, and Workouts. But in the long run I am saving so much money now. Let me explain it to you..

I suffer from IBS, TMJ, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Depression. All of those problems cost me tons of money and I will lay that out for you here in a minute. But the way I feel when those problems are at full swing is miserable. So naturally I have always tired to find a solution or at least something that would work in the moment and sugar coat the pain. Crazy thing is one of the main factors to all of my health problems is stress! For some crazy reason my body just could not handle stress in a healthy way at all.

With IBS I would get so sick at my stomach that on average I would have to take off 1 day of work a week. Back when I taught swim it was closer to 2 days a week. I would be so sick I just needed to stay home and take care of myself. I would get sick before most social events. I would get sick when I got extremely excited about something. IBS untreated is miserable your stomach basically will have contractions with any emotional changes or with a few key trigger foods. So at the end of the day this problem caused me TONS of personal harm and financially it cost 1 day of pay a month!

With TMJ I spent tons of money treating and fixing this problem. You can't just ignore TMJ. Basically TMJ is where when you are stressed you grind your teeth and/or your muscles around your jaw get extremely tense. For me this meant that my jaw popped out of place almost every day and it was extremely painful. So bad to where I would get a huge pimple on the side of my jaw that was most inflamed. To treat my TMJ successfully when it was at its worst cost a ton. I had a chiropractic membership for $120 a month and I had 2 massages a month that cost me $120 total. So for TMJ it cost me $240, as well as the one time expense of a $70 dollar pillow. Why all because my body was not healthy enough to process the stress it was put under.

With Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Depression I ran to food! No I did not get fat but oh my can I throw down some money on some fast food. I still struggle with breaking this habit on my bad days. But now I ALWAYS regret it. I could easily get a sonic Lemon-Berry Slush every day that was around $2.50. I also LOVED to indulge in ice cream and fried food even though I knew it would make my IBS flare up! But hey it made me happy to eat so who cared at the end of the day. So lets just say over all I spend around $5 a day, now some days I was good and had none and other days I would spend around $20.  $5x30 is $150 a month or more on fast food to fill the voids in my life and make me feel better because again my body could not handle stress.

So over all I spent $240 for TMJ, $150 on cravings, and say I made what I made when I started Coaching $9.50 and hour and I worked 8 hrs the day I took off: I would have lost $76 dollars a month. So over all I spent/lost a total of $446. Not to mention a lack of energy, a moody personality, and I was a pain to be around.

Now I spend around $200 a month on living a healthy lifestyle and I LOVE it! I am happier, I have more energy, I rarely suffer from TMJ now, my IBS stays under control 75% of the time, I almost never have panic attacks anymore, my anxiety has gotten minimal, and my depression is getting ALOT better. I have never felt more alive and healthy in my life. I could have said no to Shakeology and the oils because of money but I didn't I jumped in and found such healing and fresh life with it.

I hope this will help you to consider trying more options that actually work for your health and improve your over all health and not settle for anything less than a "super life."

52 Uncommon Dates: Date 1

My fiancé Daniel and I are doing a ton of things to work on our relationship to help us have a successful marriage. One of the things we chose to do was start this book 52 Uncommon Dates by Randy Southern. Wednesday night we had our first date!

The First Time For Everything Date

We had to keep it simple since I am pregnant but we went to a fancy part of town we had never been together in. We also went to new restaurants. To keep it fun and new, we had an appetizer at the first place, an entrée at the second, and desert at the third.

The First Restaurant we chose was Brios. We enjoyed the free appetizer of bread and crackers. Then we ordered some weird beef appetizer. It was a horrible mistake. The beef was raw! Daniel ate some of it but could not stomach the rest. I enjoyed the crackers and salad that was on top though! It was fun just talking to each other even though the appetizer was CRAZY.

 

 

 

 



The Second Restaurant we chose was a little French one. It was almost empty except the bar. We enjoyed a delicious margarita pizza. We had great conversation there and enjoyed smiling at each other from across the table.

The third restaurant we chose was Cheesecake Factory. We got this one ToGo! Daniel got the 30th anniversary cheesecake and I got the Hershey's cheesecake. Oh it was the best most amazing cheesecake in the world. It was sinful how good it was.

Over all we loved the date! :)

On a scale of 1 to 10 how did we like the date?
Daniel: 15
Deborah: 10!!!

Hope you start this book too!

Pregnancy Workouts

I will not lie to you that I was SUPER scared to workout at the beginning of my pregnancy. I did not think I would be able to do any workouts or feel safe while actually breaking a sweat. I know so many of you felt or feel the same. It can seem like no big deal to workout or to not work out but trust me the benefits are 100% worth it! :)

Here are a few benefits to working out while pregnant:

• Reduces back pain and constipation
• Helps you sleep better
• Boosts your mood and energy levels
• Labor and delivery will be easier
• Your labor may be shorter
• You will be less prone to morning sickness
• You will bounce back faster after delivery

So I am sure by now you are like OMG I so need to do this!!! I have this and this and I would really like that to stop. I understand. My body knows every time I miss a workout, I just feel like crap. But what is safe and unsafe to do? Well the general rule of thumb is you can do anything you did before pregnancy during pregnancy. So that why you see the cross fit women doing all kinds of craziness while pregnant. But what if you did not workout before becoming pregnant, what can you do? Well of course get it cleared with your doctor mine recommended yoga and such. So double check there but here are some of the programs I have found easy and doable while pregnant.

Top Go to Workout Programs:

1. PiYo
2. TurboFire
3. Fit Maternity

My Favorite Workouts:

• PiYo Define Upper Body: It about 19 minutes and is easy to accomplish but still gives you a good push.
• PiYo Define Lower Body: It is around 23 minutes and is one of the best active stretches for your lower body.
• TurboFire Hit 15: It is hard but it is only 15 minutes of cardio and makes you feel like such a Super Mom when you are done.
• 21 Day Fix Extreme Yoga Fix: It is advance but there is an amazing modifier. It is 30 minutes long but of pure stretching.
• PiYo Strength Intervals: It is 25 minutes of hard work but it is all easy on your joints and no jumping around. Be ready to sweat.

All of those workout programs have modifications and are perfect for pregnancy. I do LOVE my PiYo. It is easy on the body and great hard work. Other workout programs I dabble into are: Challene Extreme, Slim in 6, and Yoga Booty Ballet. I would love to help you pick a program and give you ALL my tips and tricks.
