Picture on the LEFT was taken February 9. Just 7 days after Noah was born.
Pictures on the RIGHT was taken this morning May 5.
Noah Michael Zapien is three months old and is thriving daily. He's cooing, starting to roll over, smiles all the time, loved
by his big brother Maximus, his daddy smothers him when he gets home, he cries when's hungry but mama is still nursing and supplementing at night.
Everyday we are creating memories to last a lifetime.
We have all grown as a family. Having two boys has competed me although I am still wanting my little girl God willing. But overall these past few months have been full of happiness, challenges, sweet memories and growth. I look back on the tough days and just smile because I'm so thankful I was able to overcome. We never know what challenges will come mourners but when they do we need to surround ourselves with people who will uplift us, pray for us and give wisdom.
I look at tranaformation pictures and clearly there is a change. But what really speaks is my SMILE! It shows growth within and I'm proud of the woman I've become. Pressing play, running with the boys, having my daily dose of Shakeology and the late nights of prepping our meals clearly had paid off. I went from wearing maternity pants to events to now being able to wear a size 6 over the weekend. I kept telling myself I WILL FIT IN THEM! Oh what a joy it was! I remember running through the house screaming saying THEY FIT!! It's those non-scale victories that thrive me. I still have my mommy pooch and I'm proud of it! My focus is to not have 6 pack abs....my focus is to be a FIT MOM!
My smile also represents my spiritual growth. I wish I could tell you everything I've faced these past few months. I been hurt, betrayed, talked about but I've also been blessed in ways I never thought was possible. I'm walking in FREEDOM! I am no longer bound by my sins. I'm striving daily to have forgiveness. I'm giving myself grace daily. I'm being BOLD (my word of the year) in my role as a Leader. Taking chances!
Everyday we are faced with some
sort of challenge but it's what we do without. Are we going to cry about it? Or are we going to PRAY about it? No matter where you are in your fitness journey I want to encourage you to NEVER GIVE UP! Never give up HOPE! Pray daily. Spend time in your word. Go for a run. Feed your body with healthy foods. Surround yourself with people who are going to EDIFY you. Take a course to better your career. Unplug at night to spend time with family. Do whatever you need to do to live a HAPPY HEALTHY FAITH FILLED lifestyle ❤️
I Believe in YOU! If you need someone to push you, please reach out. I'm here to help.
God Bless!
