Don't Wait Till Life Slows Down


Cold weather
Early mornings
Kids 24/7
Take control of your time
It doesn't take a week to lose 25 pounds but it does take a week to feel better and create the habit that will get you to the BEST you 
I live in a 5th wheeler

I can make plenty of excuses
But excuses wouldn't give me the energy and confidence I enjoy today
Don't wait till life slows down.

Cause it's not going to!
Take control friends

Every Obstacle Has A Purpose, Only If You Learn The Purpose

When bad things happen in life do you sit back and think poor me. 
Why is this happening to me? 
I didn't do anything to deserve this? 

We all have unexpected situations that happen in our lives and automatically feel defeated. 
Today I want you to rise above those negative thoughts.
If your currently in a storm or the storm is starting to calm down look at the positive and what positive came from the storm.

Could be something as simple as becoming closer to God, making a positive change in your life you wouldn't have made time for without going through a storm.
After the shock of the storm, start looking at what you have learned so you can move forward

What Does Success Look Like to You?

Some of you might not know but two years ago I was overweight and overwhelmed even though I was a stay-at-home mom.
If you're a parent you would know what I'm talking about when the never ending to do list is always in front of you.
The last year I've been driving a lot more so I've been listening to personal development and it really hit me when one of the authors said she was super overwhelmed always had things on her plate when the kids went to bed she didn't stop and I completely related to that.
One of the things she said to do was really look at your life and see what success means to you. Not to somebody else, not to your neighbor, not to your friends but actually to you? If you didn't take anyone's opinion and you just looked at what you really wanted out of your life what would it be.
It took a long time and I wasn't able to really answered on the spot because I had no clue. The last several months I really took money worries off my plate and wrote down a to do list every day to see what really was happening every day in my life and that's when it clicked.
I spent more time cooking, cleaning and yard work of a big house then I did doing the things that I really enjoyed.
So that's when we decided as a family that we are going to downsize from a 2000 square-foot three bedroom two bath family room house with yard to a 3 bedroom two bath apartment.
I still feel overwhelmed like why do I need all the space all I have is a six-year-old and a two-year-old. My kids are so awesome they are very content with what they have.
Shortly after we moved into the apartments my husband got a new job at an RV dealership. This was definitely God because we kept thinking it would be so cool to travel I mean we don't like to stay in one spot all the time but no one we knew had ever lived in an RV before. And honestly a lot people just don't understand it because it's not the normal thing to do. Most feel like the American dream is to live in a big house and work the 8 to 5 job.
But tell me how many people who work the 8 to 5 job went to College make all this money can truly say that they love their life every single day.
So we decided to become full-time RVers and live what we consider the American dream.
This past weekend marks three weeks of living in an RV and yes there are ups and downs just like owning a new home for the first time but it is worth it.

So what would you consider success and what is your own American dream?

Life is so crazy on the RUN

I feel like everyday is nuts! Do you feel the same?

My name is Victoria, my husband and I have 2 kiddos ages 6 and 2, plus a german shepard.
I know doesnt sound to crazy
But im really cheap, like I dont like spending money if I dont have to.
So my husband (Eric) was transferred at his job to a place 20 miles from our apartment.
Not just 20 miles but in another state!
We live in Washington and drive to Idaho.
Im a stay at home mom but we have one car and like I said I dont like spending money so we will only have one car.
We made the decision that the kids and I will stay near Erics work to not just save money on gas and car maintenance but so the kids and I dont have to drive 2 hours 5-6 days a week.
YUP we are not the normal family.
Im here to share with you how we stay fit and healthy even on the rode all day while sharing tips we have learned.
Feel free to ask me questions.

Now you might ask what in the world do we do all day. Which actually on most days isnt bad.
During the summer we went to the parks most of the time.
Its now coming up on winter time though.
So we got a membership at a family gym so we can use the pool and game room.

Life is about to get a little crazier and I would love to share how we live out of the ordinary.

Did i mention I homeschool also......
What is a normal day for you?
Have you considered homeschooling?

My first day after completing the 3 day refresh

I am right where I want to be!


With most programs I'll say ok finish this 21 days and you can have a cheat meal. Not this time, I have no desire to fall off. I haven't felt this great ever. Not one bad food is worth over indulging in when you feel as great as I do.

My breakfast on day 4 was a banana and shakeology tropical strawberry, grapes for a snack, lunch was chicken salad, my other snack was cucumbers and hummus and my first dinner was spaghetti squash yum :)

Start back on track and feel satisfied and don't over eat.
Great program, great results and fast !
