When I was 13 a Dr. called me “fat”.
That word started as a diagnosis and has reappeared in my life repeatedly, creating endless opportunities for triggering moments.
What if I told you that the negative connotations with the words fat, stretch marks, bat wings, heavy, big boned, and stretch marks could all be wiped away?
Triggers are opportunities! You have the power to change your mindset around these triggers to live a happier, healthier, more fruitful life.
Believe me. I’ve done it and I can help you do it too!

This may be a hard pill to swallow, but you can get results without excessive cardio and restrictive dieting...
We're surrounded by tempting quick fixes like fad diets, beach body shakes and 21 day fixes, intermittent fasting, juice cleanses, caffeine pills, and workout ads with 19 year old instagram influencers with perfect abs. We've all tried them, but have they ever worked?
👎🏻 Temporarily, sure, but long term? NEVER.
Here's why...
When you subscribe to one of those programs, they're handing you the flower planted in soil but not teaching you HOW to take care of it. They may provide you with a temporary dose of Miracle Grow, but if you don't water that flower, make sure it gets direct sunlight, and NURTURE it, it won't bloom year after year, growing bigger and stronger each time. In fact, it may even die, and you'll have to start over again, feeling like a failure.
My client @ezaboo committed to her goal, soaked up all the nutrients the BBF Hive has to offer, is building the tools that lead to long-lasting lifestyle change, AND is seeing fabulous results! I couldn't be more proud of her.

Discipline > Motivation.
If you're sitting around for motivation to strike to start your wellness journey, you're going to be sitting for a long while. 😭
The truth is, you're rarely ever going to "feel like it." 😵
I can guarantee, though, that once you lace up those sneakers, do the darn thing, and come home afterward, you'll feel better for it. 🤗
Make that a habit, and you'll be well on your way to discipline.
Struggling to lace up those sneakers? Reach out! I'd love to be your accountability partner.

Studies have shown that individuals with a strong social support system are up to 65% more likely to achieve their fitness goals compared to those who go it alone.
Think of it this way, if the people you're surrounded by are constantly encouraging you to stoop to their level, what's that going to do to your results? When you're on the journey together, the potential is limitless!
That's why at ButtaBeeFitness, we have the Hive- a private Facebook group where you can share your hopes, dreams, struggles, and everything in between.

We’ve all dropped 20 lbs on some crazy fat diet, felt momentarily amazing for having the “will power” to accomplish it, then go right back to living the lifestyle we had before, quickly gaining those 20 lbs back.
I want to remind you that any diet or fitness fad that promises quick results will fail. Take it from me, I’ve tried them all.
Here’s what I know…
Small changes over time lead to long-lasting results. This is what we’re building every time we lace up our sneakers for a run or reach for a whole food snack.
We pave the road to our future in the present with every single choice…every single step…every single day…
Today, I challenge you to imagine the person you dream of being. What are 3 tiny things you can do today to be one step closer to that person? Comment below, and I'll help you stay accountable.

Triggered by the word "fat"? ME TOO.
From the time my doctor called me "FAT" in adolescence to now, that word has followed me around like a dirty old mismatched sock 😳
Taking control of my health made me feel like I could conquer anything, not because I was "SKINNY" but because I was "CAPABLE".
The body that once kept me from hiking, vacationing, and my dream roles onstage...
The body that had asthma and got sick at least once a month...
The body that gave me limitations my brilliant mind didnt...
And the mindset of "FATNESS" that kept me and so many stuck there for so long were put to rest when I decided to change my life.
I was sick of making excuses for myself, and I bet you are too.
Whether you're "FAT" OR "FIT" or somewhere in between, I want to help you to be limitless in what you can achieve in this beautiful gift of life.
Taking charge of your health is the first step. Reach out to become the 1% of people to make the change for a better future!

Meet Erica! A beeautiful bride to bee!
In her 2 months at ButtaBeeFitness, she's had tremendous results in body, mind, and spirit! I could go on and on about how proud I am of her, but I thought you might want to see it in her own words...
"No matter what happens after these 3 months, the lessons I've learned are invaluable and have nothing to do with losing 10lbs. I'm shocked and delighted to see my anxiety Melt away. My auditions, work life, social life, and relationships are all better. Once you have confidence in yourself, you trust yourself more and everything else follows suit."
Plus, her progress photos are looking banging! SHOULDER AND AB DEFINITION. TIGHT. RIGHT. EMBRACING HER NATURALLY CURVY SHAPE. AND GLOWING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
If you're someone who suffers from anxiety, reach out. Just 30 min of movement a day, 5 days a week, has been proven to reduce mental health issues by 42-60%.

I lost 100lbs twice 🤯💪
The first time, I tried every diet imaginable, punished myself for eating with working out, and still wasn't happy with the way I looked.
The second time, focused on daily acts of self care like walking, eating the rainbow, and meditation and have since kept the weight off for 6+ years.
Knowing what I know now, here are 3 things I would NEVER DO to lose weight again.
1) DROP MY CALORIES TO 1200/DAY: The body requires a minimum number of calories to function properly. For most adults, this is higher than 1200 calories per day. Consistently eating below this rate can lead to muscle loss, hormonal problems, and a decrease in metabolic rate, which hinders long-term weight loss results.
Instead, connect with a certified nutritionist (like myself) to help you create a specific plan to enter and exit a deficit healthfully.
2) CUT OUT AN ENTIRE FOOD GROUP: Eliminating entire food groups, such as carbohydrates or fats, can deprive your body of essential nutrients that your body needs! For example, carbohydrates provide energy, proteins build and repair tissues, fats are essential for hormone production and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber crucial for overall health.
Instead, focus on portion sizing and timing of these macro nutrients. I always focus on adding to my diet rather than subtracting from it.
3) DO A WORKOUT I HATED: Hating your workouts or punishing yourself with endless hours of cardio can lead to decreased motivation, making it harder to stick with an exercise routine long-term. It can also increase stress levels and diminish the overall enjoyment of physical activity.
Instead, focus on activities that you enjoy that fit into your overall lifestyle! Have kids? Go for a daily bike ride together. LOVE dance? Join us for dance cardio at ButtaBeeFit.
It's time to stop listening to thin-fluencers, end the cycle of chronic dieting, and start taking care of yourself for good. Reach out if you're ready!
