Lots of news!

I haven't blogged in forever. In truth, I just don't have that much time anymore. Things with Beachbody are picking up, for which I am SO thankful, and I love it! Everything is great, the kids are doing wonderful. Alana is doing GREAT in school, and Isabel has a full mouth of teeth already and knows how to use them! She only gives kisses when she feels like it, and you better be ready if it's you! But she only really kisses me, daddy, Alana, and my parents :). I'm also going to be on the new P90X infomercial, starting in 2010! ::SO EXCITED!:: It airs like, all the time, nationwide for at least a year or 2, so maybe you'll catch a sneak peak at my P90X transformation story on TV! I hope everyone is doing great and still pressing play. I've been pretty good with my diet during the holidays, I've had a couple glasses of champagne, and that's pretty much it. I purposely did a candida cleanse during the holidays to help me with the food aspect, as during a candida cleanse you can't have any sugar, alcohol, and other certain foods. It helped and I feel AMAZING! I will also be featured as a before/after pic on QVC January 2nd, 2am and 5pm Eastern, so check it out! Remember, getting through a tough program like P90X is much more successful and effective with a coach-so holler at your girl (me!) if you are interested in buying P90X. If you buy through QVC or other vendors, you don't get a coach...and really, where's the fun in that, especially when coaching services are FREE! :) So...As you can see from above...I'm on the cover of Oblique Magazine for January/Febuary, and I have an abdominal spread with a killer ab workout on the inside! AND--you can read and see the entire issue online if you don't live in Charleston. The website is www.oblique.sc :)

Be blessed!!

Small Groups, and Growing up

Are VITAL if you want to keep accountable and keep your faith 'tank' full. I have to admit though, I am not apart of one :( at the moment! But we are looking, and we are going on a marriage retreat in a couple weeks! woot! Can't wait! :)

I remember our last small group. It was good....up until a point. It started to be more of a social group, than Godly. It wasn't moving forward. We had some good groups, but unfortunately ugly gossip intruded and screwed everything up. I did have to cut out toxic "friends," but it was definitely for the better. Sometimes I feel sad about how things turned out, but I look at everything now...and it is so much better! My marriage is better. The friends I have now encourage me to live a more Godly and spiritual life. My whole family dynamic is drastically different--I know now that I'm not a "youngin'" anymore and I had to grow up. Growing up doesn't mean you have to get boring, it just means you have to prioritize your life and take action. If it's not making you better-it's making you worse. If those "friends" don't encourage your growth, than it's time to cut them out. When your momma said, "You are who you hang with" or something to that extent...she was right! I have 2 beautiful daughter's who look at me like I'm the best mother in the world. And when my friends come over, they rub off on my kids in such a great way. Being a mother changes things-but for me-it changed everything. My daughters, My husband..absolutely saved my life. So, if you find yourself stuck, if you find yourself with low self esteem, if you have people trying to feed negativity into your life....take a good look around you. It could be the friends you have in your life right now. We need to all have people in our lives that "build us up" always, and not tear us down. I hope and pray as mothers, as wives, that we all continue to GROW UP and prioritize our lives. Fun can always be had, but we don't have to always act like we are 18 years old. I've learned that, and continue to learn that. Learning never stops. We need to take action on our lives and force it to be better. We have one chance to make it right with God, we have one lifetime to live the life that we were meant to live. We have one life to make God smile. Let's make him smile today.

In Him and Health-Demi

It's a new day

For me, for people around me. Things get better, day by day, minute by minute. I am thankful for so many things right now, and yet sometimes I, or people around me, get their heart broken. It breaks my heart to see them go through that, but I do believe there is hope at the end of the tunnel. I believe that if we stick through the hard times, that we will be greatly rewarded. Yet if something never changes, maybe it's time to move on. We only know that though if we try and we fight.
