Hi Ashley! I’ve been doing this with you since February 6th and I’m seeing progress…. My biggest wins so far are getting up early, exercising before I go to work, drinking more water, tracking my macros and most importantly avoiding negativity! Still pressing in so thank you so much for the challenge and being a wonderful inspiration!!! Have a great day!!!
JACKIE!!! I’m so proud of you that’s AMAZING!! Thank you so much for sharing, I love hearing from others who have begun their own journeys!!🫶🏻✨ Keep me updated!!❤️
I am a women watching this totally admire you , positive mental attitude springs to mind , love how you picked yourself up and transformed yourself, you look great ! ❤
This is honestly the best video I’ve seen on this topic! You edited this so well! Not only am I motivated for my health challenge! I’m also motivated for my UA-cam channel! I LOVE IT!!! Thank youuuuu ❤
I opened UA-cam and the FIRST video I see was yours. I accidentally clicked on it, I was not going to watch it but what caught my attention was your 6 month challenge list, because just last night I started my own 6 month challenge list and it matches EXACTLY to yours! I though to myself this is a sign, I must watch this video and I am so glad that I did. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and your tips. I’m also a boy mom and work from home, I’m trying to become healthier so that future me will be thankful 🥲 also, I have trust issue with supplements but I am so glad you shared yours. They seem great, include many natural sources and have great reviews. I will be giving them a try! Congratulations on your journey, you are truly glowing! 🌟
You look absolutely amazing Ashley!! Congratulations on your journey! Your video was just the inspiration I needed today! I love how you were down to earth and kept it realistic and simple! I already downloaded your guide and looking forward to adding/changing my routine and mindset! Thank you for sharing ❤
These videos have been very inspiring. In 2024, I set out to change my body for a healthier life, and I am recording the entire process on UA-cam. I hope to achieve it!
Brand new subscriber here. I can resonate with you so so much & I truly appreciate the videos I have indulged in so far. Your tips, tricks, insight, and real life examples are top notch.
Today is my birthday, I'm 52 and for the past 6 years I've wanted nothing more than to lose 25kg. I thought i tried just about everything however, watching your video you have helped me see that it is all about mindset and staying consistent and preparation. If you can do it with 4 boys, I certainly can do it. I have 3 daughters that are 25, 21, and 20. Can i ask what app were you using to track your meals and where do you get your meal planning ideas from. Thank you so much. I love your channel and the way you make your videos.
You look so healthy and glowing. Love this video! Also love your makeup, but I’m wondering if you did full on makeup in the morning before your workout because you were doing a video or is that just the order you do it in usually? Either way, you look great!
You are such an inspiration...I'm glad I came across your channel...I'm a mom of three and I'm working on some of these things while losing weight and working on my mental, physical and spiritual health..💞💞
Loved this video! ❤️ Rushed out & got some Kodiak mix to try that lava cake... i had to add more milk & cook twice as long?? Rewatched several times. Still yummy just more like warm pudding... 🤔 OK so it thickened a wee bit as it cooled, dude it was my dinner. Added 5g SF Reddi Whip & 10g nut butter ... will definitely make again. Ty ❤
This is not my account..I am a mom..four kids and u are so healthy, amazing...just heads up when those four hit preteens get major backup or they undo it all by releasing major cortisol..speaking from experience..I had to do it twice bc my teens fried me..second time was harder
Love this video. Thank you for the transparency and honesty on everything. I only today found your channel. The only drawback is the cost of the supplements you are using. There’s no way I can afford that. Is there a less expensive alternative????
My kudos to you moms. I lost weight and changed lifestyle before covid and maintain weight and healthy habits despite lockdown, when gyms were shut down, social distancing, gym hours changes, etc etc, but it’s really Another level difficult to do all these when you have responsibilities of being a mom & housewife. I wish you the best in your journey. You have no idea how much you’re influencing your kids showing them how to maintain good routines, all these healthy habits, how to be consistent and not give up. Btw, I’m single, do laundry, a small load, every other week and complain about it 😂
When going to the grocery store I know the processed stuff is in the center!! I walk and shop the perimeter and then go in the center for things I need. Like dried beans, flour, olive oil (yeah not much I need from there). I would not eat processed foods because it’s an EXPENSIVE DEATH!
Hello Your video is so wonderfully inspiring. I liked how real it is, especially that you're not only getting your objectives done, but also helping your kids and taking care of the house. Thank you so much for sharing it with us and best wishes for the next achievements

Any suggestions for someone with a not so common situation?! I'm (almost) 42 wife & mom, I work full time 3rd shift at a factory. So I'm at work from 10 pm to 6 am. I then take over care of of 2 youngest kiddos almost 7 yr old daughter and almost 2 yr old son. I try to get a 3-4 hour nap in, in the mornings but sometimes not always a given. So I lay down about 9:30-10 am & am back up by 1pm to feed little man and get ready to pick daughter up from school. Don't get to lay back down for my 2nd nap until 5:30-6pm & back up around 8-8;30 to eat dinner then rush off to work! Currently trying to improve my health and wellness but finding it hard with the sleep aspect 😢 any tips. Can't afford daycare & don't have family/friends close by to help out. So it's just me & hubby. Any tips would be appreciated 😊
@@MrsGriselly sadly not an option, I have my son during the day! can't afford day care, even if i could i would basically be handing over my paycheck :-(
Hi Ashley, do you fast? Would recommend fasting & doing the 75 hard challenge at once be too much? Or in your experience do one or the other? Thank you ❤️
Hi Ashley, your video popped up on my UA-cam feed and I haven’t been happy with myself for a while. I am taking this as a sign!! Thank you as it is healthy, consistent and not extreme. I am going to check out your insta and get started. Thank you!!! ❤
Hi Ashley! This video is inspiring however, what do you suggest to someone who has to work outside home all day? I would like to follow your routine but it’s difficult because 7:00am I do need to get ready for work (if I would like to have my breackfast) and I’m back 7:10pm. Time for a shower and it’s already dinner time and I always feel tired for workout etc.. what do you suggest for this?
Thank you Victoria!!💖✨ I have 2 videos up with a few recipes as well as a bunch of my favorites in my Etsy downloads!! Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/1409659557/ Breakfast video link: ua-cam.com/video/rXbj0vMiijM/v-deo.html Fav meals video link: ua-cam.com/video/2BnYvFZxBqI/v-deo.html
I decided to give up my chocolate and try to eat less sweets. I'm determined that I am going to lose at least 25 lbs. Like you said..all you need to do is execute.
Its great but what about those who have back pain from past hurts, like accidents? It gets really hard for them to do those exercises... Only the food change eventually...
Question? The supplements you were talking about, is it the same company that you order the protein cake batter from? Maybe I missed something! Lol! Love this video and love your tips!! You look amazing!!
Hi Ashley !!Your journey is really inspiring !I am wondering ,when you first started did you jump to all those exercise at once or you have been through a phase that you were doing little stretching and veggies exercises ?I am asking as I haven't been exercising for a while now and I want to avoid injuring myself.thsnk toy in advance.
Incredible! Do you have loose skin on your stomach? I’ve lost 16kgs in the past 9 months doing very similar things to your list at the start plus reformer Pilates but you look so much tighter and toned than me 🥹💔
I'm 39 and I've lost and gained 20 lbs so many times over since my 20s that I've learned to appreciate both builds and very comfortable losing and gaining weight. My biggest tip is along what she says. Don't think of exercise as a chore or that you have to do a full work out. Only have 10 mins? Do some walking or crunches. It's definitely the little things. Cut sugar, drink water and substitute like she does. Works like a charm. I'm anywhere from 110 lbs to 150 in my lifetime.
It’s also good to try to reframe it in your head as something you *get* to do rather than something you *have* to do. Being able to move your body and exercise is a privilege. It’s a celebration of what you are capable of and that’s true at any level of ability.
One thing I think is really interesting to note is that the most unhealthy weight related practice is to continually lose and gain weight. It puts such a strain on your heart and metabolism and has long term health consequences that far outweighs the consequences of just staying at 150lbs. Just something worth remembering.
I learned from whole 30 that taking the time to detox from sugar your body will then learn to burn the fat for energy instead of sugar resulting in more sustainable energy throughout the day. Fats are healthy and necessary. Olive oil, animal fats, egg yolk are critical for health and not villains like we are taught to believe.
Seeing another mom be able to do these things is so motivating and inspiring. I always make excuses for giving up on myself instead of finding a way to reach my goals. Thank you for this video
Stop suggesting fad diets. They work for a while until they don't. No one should use a fad diet. Burn more calories than you consume consistently and your body will drop weight. Don't go crazy. It's a lifestyle change.
I love seeing this motivation from other moms. Most videos I see on UA-cam are younger women with no kids and it’s hard to relate. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
I think its hard enough doing all this without kids. Cant even imagine how challenging this must have been on so many days. You can be so proud of yourself - you look stunning ! (You did too before you started, but wow!)
I love the passion along with all the tips and tricks. You’ve definitely inspired me to start my own 6 month journey. I’ll be 30 in 5 months and I want to take care of my body and mind long term - while feeling and looking my best going into my 30’s but also my whole entire life here on Earth. ♥️
I love this! Im a guy, however much like you at your start, I have never been "fat" but also never in shape or healthy. It's really effecting me emotionally and confidence wise now that i'm in my mid 20s and still single. I have been about 30-50 pounds overweight for most of my life. This makes me feel like being in shape is doable in just a matter of months and maintainable!
I feel you. I'm a girl but I've always been 30-50 pounds overweight. I'm 5"2 and I think the healthy weight is 110-125, but I'm around 160. I keep trying diets but give up easily. Hopefully I can figure something out. How's it been going for you?
I just found your channel and its like a breath of fresh air!!! There are so many people out there doing EXTREME things to lose weight and get into shape... you are all about balance and moderation! THANK YOU!!!
Giving yourself some grace when you miss a day. I started walking a week ago and it is changing my life. I didn’t walk for 2 days and I was a starting to feel discouraged but I’m going to keep this going and seeing your video is very motivating to just do it.
I too recently started walking, was sick for a few days and didn’t walk, I felt bad about it and in the past would have quit being consistent. My mindset has changed, and I’ve forgiven myself, and know that a few missed days is ok. Just keep going😊
You look fabulous friend 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your weight loss and good health journey. I really needed this. I’ve been on a weigh loss journey myself since August. I’ve lost 55 lbs and still have more to go. I was walking 2-3 miles 5-6 days a wk plus doing some weight exercises, however I started having major pain in my hip and knee so slowing the exercises came to a halt. Which isn’t where I want to be. You have really inspired me to get back on track not only finding the exercise I can do but to meditate, journal, and be kind to myself through all of this. I’m so proud of you Ashley. ❤
I love this, but I would like to add that dietary fat is not bad for us and has so many benefits. Such as making us feel satiated and full so we don’t overeat. We don’t necessarily need to cut fats out of our diet, we can simply just eat them in moderation. Fat also should be eaten along with protein as it helps our bodies properly digest the protein.
Yeah this is absolutely correct and dietary fats that contain omega-3s etc are very important for aiding in reproductive health. As well as when the triglycerides in fat are broken down they become an energy source especially for long-duration, low- to moderate-intensity exercise! So dietary fats are definitely important as u said!
You are absolutely right! And I do love my fats!! As I was losing I tried to stick to around 40g a day so some meals I would swap things to save for another meal I was having later❤️
Girl!!!! Who are you?! I was looking for a way to loose weight and get better and you appeared. I love this video. And I’ll definitely follow you. Thank you for sharing!!! 🙌🏻❤
Ashley - you have motivated me to make some much procrastinated changes in my life! I downloaded your 6 month challenge, cleaned out my fridge/pantry and replaced with healthier food choices, picked up a journal and motivational book and am ready to get going.
You look GREAT. Im on a weight loss journey doing it on my own also im down 20lbs today and i plan on working harder. Ive been doing this for 2 months. I hope you continue great health ...im 48 its not as easy as it once was. I live in NY so now its nice to walk and im so ready to start work outs...thanks for sharing 😊 🙏❤😁
Wow you are amazing!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 thank you for taking us through your journey this is so inspiring!! I really want to start incorporating waking up early before my kids I think that would really help me mentally. Thank you for the motivation!
READ ME! Hi! I watch youtube all the time and have never left a comment until this one. I'm a 33 year old mom with 4 boys who have followed so many different you tubers and came across this video and it really inspired me. I don't know what it was because I have watched so many different you tubers. I instantly got excited and motivated and wanted to watch alllll your fitness/day in a life/what I eat etc videos. Please please please continue to make more. I was so sad to only find 3 or 4 videos and seen you have a huge channel of DIY and home decor etc ( which I love and will watch too considering my whole house is farmhouse as well) but I think you are the one person who might motivate me to stick to something! I loved the mental, self care you included as well. I never tackle that issue and it was inspirational. Please think about making a few more! Signed- another boy mom trying to finally find the best version of me, mentally and physically.
This video was exactly what I needed. First video I’ve watched that made me feel inspired. Great info and tips. Thank you for sharing. I’m starting my 6 month journey today!
Sou mãe de dois (17 e 9 anos), aqui, eu e meu marido trabalhamos fora. Chego tarde de noite, todos nos encontramos, aí temos coisas pra fazer em casa, eu e ele fazemos tudo juntos, somos bem parceiros. Faço faculdade, eu que cuido de toda a parte burocrática (contas, agendamentos, exames, consultas, banco etc). Amo desenhar e compor mas já não consigo mais ter tempo para isso 😢. Treino em casa quando consigo, tenho me dedicado novamente a comer muito mais saudável mas também como o que gosto quando sinto vontade, sem neuras e sem cobranças, apenas de forma consciente. Hoje, quem me olha não diz que tenho filhos, me sinto bem mais bonita do que quando tinha 20 anos. Tem diz que me olho e me sinto péssima, mas isso faz parte de um processo humano de se amar em um dia e no outro se estranhar. Me sinto mais cansada muitas vezes mas isso também faz parte da rotina que muda com os filhos, trabalho, estudos etc. Hoje, sábado, acordei cedo, tomei café, fiz bolo, já já vou cozinhar feijão r fazer minhas marmitas pra semana toda, isso ajuda muito na praticidade. Daqui a pouco tenho uma prova. Sigam firmes e fortes. Abraços. ❤❤
I lost 45 pounds eating things like eggs bacon fresh fruit and ate plenty of Fat like butter because our hormones are made of fat ! Fat does NOT make you fat it’s all the sugar and refined carbs that do that and cholesterol’s & fat DO NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE.
This is honestly so much harder when you’re not able to be home due to having to work a 9-5 that’s my biggest hurdle and also my biggest motivation so I can change that !
Wow, you lost the weight awesome! You look great! I just know what back pain feels like and wish no one else would have to experience that pain. When you are lifting weights, if you look at the floor you restrict your breathing a bit and might hurt your back. I hurt my back lifting wrong and the one thing i learned from that was to open up my chest and look straight ahead. It feels so much better. 🧡 Love your queit morning routine, it defently improves your mood for the rest of the day. ☮
I am almost 3 years post partum and feeling healthier and stronger than ever. But, I do want to reduce another 5 to 7 lbs and just get in better morning habbitz to wake up early, read my Bible and journal before my son wakes up. I work full time from home too.
So inspirational! Really enjoy seeing another mom finding ways to make her health part of her focus everyday. It’s one of the best ways to show up for your family in the long run. Love it! ❤
This is fabulous!! I think you look amazing, and I applaud you for giving you the credit! While you mentioned some mediation guidance, you show the community that ultimately it is you “one’s own self” that has and can make the change. Congratulations on the same you, but a healthier, enlightened, powerful, & Stunning new you! Best, Julie C
Does anyone have recommendations on how to balance this with working? It's dark when I go to work and almost dark when I get home. I feel like on the weekends I do well with cooking good meals and being active, but during the week, I really struggle after work for the couple hours I have before going to bed.
Do you like your work?? I would be thinking of changing your work or routine. Not getting enough sleep made me a different person and I was fatigued like crazy!! Step one would be imagining a new reality. How can I change my job? How can I change my schedule? What other ways can I, or would I want to make money?? From there you can plan to do stuff you enjoy. Waking up and having coffee and going for a walk or run or start learning calisthenics or lifting!! It sounded like to me, your schedule was hindering your personal goals!! I hope you have found courage and encouragement through this!! 💜
Hi Ashley, I just wanted you to know that this video that you made (which I accidentally found 4 weeks ago) has changed my life. I just finished reading "The Mountain Is You" and do a gratitude journal every day. I am finally healing from all my traumas and I am finally losing weight and becoming healthy again. I just wanted to say thank you. You never know how you can make a difference in someone's life. Again, THANK YOU!
The waking up for me is gonna be hard. But seriously I need to figure it out. I followed this journey since the beginning on IG. You literally killed it!!!
Thank you Jes!!!💖💖 I feel you!! MY BIGGEST STRUGGLE when naturally I want to stay up all night and sleep in! I’ve never been a morning person but always wished I was! I guess I am now!🥹🫶🏻✨
@jes I´m succeeding in getting up early after listening to Mel Robins and her audiobook „The 5 seconds rule”. I also thought about myself as „not a morning person” but it’s all about making a decision and sticking to it. You don’t have to like it to be able to do it. I’ve been doing it for a month now, almost every day (I think I slept in 2-3 times to get enough sleep if I happened to go to bed too late), I go for a long walk right after I wake up (in May I did 150 miles and took over 430,000 steps. I do intermittent fasting and lost almost 9 pounds already. I’m loving that I’m able to stick to my new habits. I hope I can do it through the autumn and winter but living in Sweden it might prove difficult :)

I need a book i can read that teaches me how to, visualize your hire self and show up for her. Any suggestions please?
Where are your pajamas and slippers from???
That supplement stuff is over priced 😮 just wow
So not fair, the ads for me were Taco Bell😅😅
Hi Ashley !!Your journey is really inspiring !I am wondering ,when you first started did you jump to all those exercise at once or you have been through a phase that you were doing little stretching and veggies exercises ?I am asking as I haven't been exercising for a while now and I want to avoid injuring myself.thsnk toy in advance.
Incredible! Do you have loose skin on your stomach? I’ve lost 16kgs in the past 9 months doing very similar things to your list at the start plus reformer Pilates but you look so much tighter and toned than me 🥹💔
I'm 39 and I've lost and gained 20 lbs so many times over since my 20s that I've learned to appreciate both builds and very comfortable losing and gaining weight. My biggest tip is along what she says. Don't think of exercise as a chore or that you have to do a full work out. Only have 10 mins? Do some walking or crunches. It's definitely the little things. Cut sugar, drink water and substitute like she does. Works like a charm. I'm anywhere from 110 lbs to 150 in my lifetime.
It’s also good to try to reframe it in your head as something you *get* to do rather than something you *have* to do. Being able to move your body and exercise is a privilege. It’s a celebration of what you are capable of and that’s true at any level of ability.
One thing I think is really interesting to note is that the most unhealthy weight related practice is to continually lose and gain weight. It puts such a strain on your heart and metabolism and has long term health consequences that far outweighs the consequences of just staying at 150lbs. Just something worth remembering.
I learned from whole 30 that taking the time to detox from sugar your body will then learn to burn the fat for energy instead of sugar resulting in more sustainable energy throughout the day. Fats are healthy and necessary. Olive oil, animal fats, egg yolk are critical for health and not villains like we are taught to believe.
Seeing another mom be able to do these things is so motivating and inspiring. I always make excuses for giving up on myself instead of finding a way to reach my goals. Thank you for this video
You're always inspiring me to be better! Have you heard of the 'rice method'? It's definitely unique, but I'm getting great results.
Stop suggesting fad diets. They work for a while until they don't. No one should use a fad diet. Burn more calories than you consume consistently and your body will drop weight. Don't go crazy. It's a lifestyle change.
Considering yoir username is @rice-method ... you're def a bot 😊
I love seeing this motivation from other moms. Most videos I see on UA-cam are younger women with no kids and it’s hard to relate. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Agreed
Congratulations! When you are my age, you will be SO happy that you took charge of your health now.
I think its hard enough doing all this without kids. Cant even imagine how challenging this must have been on so many days. You can be so proud of yourself - you look stunning ! (You did too before you started, but wow!)
I love the passion along with all the tips and tricks. You’ve definitely inspired me to start my own 6 month journey. I’ll be 30 in 5 months and I want to take care of my body and mind long term - while feeling and looking my best going into my 30’s but also my whole entire life here on Earth. ♥️
I love this! Im a guy, however much like you at your start, I have never been "fat" but also never in shape or healthy. It's really effecting me emotionally and confidence wise now that i'm in my mid 20s and still single. I have been about 30-50 pounds overweight for most of my life. This makes me feel like being in shape is doable in just a matter of months and maintainable!
I feel you. I'm a girl but I've always been 30-50 pounds overweight. I'm 5"2 and I think the healthy weight is 110-125, but I'm around 160. I keep trying diets but give up easily. Hopefully I can figure something out. How's it been going for you?
I hope you are both doing well!
*Your weight loss journey is proof that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible. Keep up the fantastic work!*
I love love love how holistic this is.
Consistency, hard work, and showing up for yourself. ❤️
I just found your channel and its like a breath of fresh air!!! There are so many people out there doing EXTREME things to lose weight and get into shape... you are all about balance and moderation! THANK YOU!!!
I don't understand how everybody else besides me looks so good after a workout. I'm over here sweating ALL over, red and flushed on my face...😳
5 mins in to any workout and I'm redder than a tomato :P, you're not alone
Giving yourself some grace when you miss a day. I started walking a week ago and it is changing my life. I didn’t walk for 2 days and I was a starting to feel discouraged but I’m going to keep this going and seeing your video is very motivating to just do it.
I too recently started walking, was sick for a few days and didn’t walk, I felt bad about it and in the past would have quit being consistent. My mindset has changed, and I’ve forgiven myself, and know that a few missed days is ok. Just keep going😊
You look fabulous friend 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your weight loss and good health journey. I really needed this. I’ve been on a weigh loss journey myself since August. I’ve lost 55 lbs and still have more to go. I was walking 2-3 miles 5-6 days a wk plus doing some weight exercises, however I started having major pain in my hip and knee so slowing the exercises came to a halt. Which isn’t where I want to be. You have really inspired me to get back on track not only finding the exercise I can do but to meditate, journal, and be kind to myself through all of this. I’m so proud of you Ashley. ❤
I love this, but I would like to add that dietary fat is not bad for us and has so many benefits. Such as making us feel satiated and full so we don’t overeat. We don’t necessarily need to cut fats out of our diet, we can simply just eat them in moderation. Fat also should be eaten along with protein as it helps our bodies properly digest the protein.
Yeah this is absolutely correct and dietary fats that contain omega-3s etc are very important for aiding in reproductive health. As well as when the triglycerides in fat are broken down they become an energy source especially for long-duration, low- to moderate-intensity exercise! So dietary fats are definitely important as u said!
You are absolutely right! And I do love my fats!! As I was losing I tried to stick to around 40g a day so some meals I would swap things to save for another meal I was having later❤️
Girl!!!! Who are you?! I was looking for a way to loose weight and get better and you appeared. I love this video. And I’ll definitely follow you. Thank you for sharing!!! 🙌🏻❤
Ashley - you have motivated me to make some much procrastinated changes in my life! I downloaded your 6 month challenge, cleaned out my fridge/pantry and replaced with healthier food choices, picked up a journal and motivational book and am ready to get going.
You look GREAT. Im on a weight loss journey doing it on my own also im down 20lbs today and i plan on working harder. Ive been doing this for 2 months. I hope you continue great health ...im 48 its not as easy as it once was. I live in NY so now its nice to walk and im so ready to start work outs...thanks for sharing 😊 🙏❤😁
AHH CONGRATULATIONS MEA!!🙌🏻🥳🎉 That’s amazing! It takes work to stick through and see those kind of results! Way to go!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Go you . Age no barrier xxx love 💕 from Ireland
You are so right. It is so much harder to lose and easier to gain in my 40s. My metabolism seems to have totally changed.
Where do you live?!! It’s so beautiful!!
Wow you are amazing!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 thank you for taking us through your journey this is so inspiring!! I really want to start incorporating waking up early before my kids I think that would really help me mentally. Thank you for the motivation!
READ ME!
Hi! I watch youtube all the time and have never left a comment until this one. I'm a 33 year old mom with 4 boys who have followed so many different you tubers and came across this video and it really inspired me. I don't know what it was because I have watched so many different you tubers. I instantly got excited and motivated and wanted to watch alllll your fitness/day in a life/what I eat etc videos.
Please please please continue to make more. I was so sad to only find 3 or 4 videos and seen you have a huge channel of DIY and home decor etc ( which I love and will watch too considering my whole house is farmhouse as well) but I think you are the one person who might motivate me to stick to something! I loved the mental, self care you included as well. I never tackle that issue and it was inspirational.
Please think about making a few more!
Signed- another boy mom trying to finally find the best version of me, mentally and physically.
Omg Arielle thank you so much for your comment!! I will absolutely make more! I’m planning to add these videos weekly to my channel!🫶🏻💙
“You become your thoughts “
Omg ! I love that ! I need to put that on my door as a reminder everyday b4 I leave for work 🎃😘🫠🥰💝😻😍
This video was exactly what I needed. First video I’ve watched that made me feel inspired. Great info and tips. Thank you for sharing. I’m starting my 6 month journey today!
How’s your journey going?
how is your journey going ? ❣
Sou mãe de dois (17 e 9 anos), aqui, eu e meu marido trabalhamos fora. Chego tarde de noite, todos nos encontramos, aí temos coisas pra fazer em casa, eu e ele fazemos tudo juntos, somos bem parceiros. Faço faculdade, eu que cuido de toda a parte burocrática (contas, agendamentos, exames, consultas, banco etc). Amo desenhar e compor mas já não consigo mais ter tempo para isso 😢. Treino em casa quando consigo, tenho me dedicado novamente a comer muito mais saudável mas também como o que gosto quando sinto vontade, sem neuras e sem cobranças, apenas de forma consciente. Hoje, quem me olha não diz que tenho filhos, me sinto bem mais bonita do que quando tinha 20 anos. Tem diz que me olho e me sinto péssima, mas isso faz parte de um processo humano de se amar em um dia e no outro se estranhar. Me sinto mais cansada muitas vezes mas isso também faz parte da rotina que muda com os filhos, trabalho, estudos etc.
Hoje, sábado, acordei cedo, tomei café, fiz bolo, já já vou cozinhar feijão r fazer minhas marmitas pra semana toda, isso ajuda muito na praticidade.
Daqui a pouco tenho uma prova.
Sigam firmes e fortes.
Abraços. ❤❤
I lost 45 pounds eating things like eggs bacon fresh fruit and ate plenty of Fat like butter because our hormones are made of fat ! Fat does NOT make you fat it’s all the sugar and refined carbs that do that and cholesterol’s & fat DO NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE.
This is honestly so much harder when you’re not able to be home due to having to work a 9-5 that’s my biggest hurdle and also my biggest motivation so I can change that !
I totall feel you! I couldn't imagine being a mom and working full time - how is there any time left for yourself really?
I have a daughter, and I work 8-2:30. Im going to wake up early, workout in the morning, and then make a protein shake for breakfast.
Wow, you lost the weight awesome! You look great! I just know what back pain feels like and wish no one else would have to experience that pain. When you are lifting weights, if you look at the floor you restrict your breathing a bit and might hurt your back. I hurt my back lifting wrong and the one thing i learned from that was to open up my chest and look straight ahead. It feels so much better. 🧡 Love your queit morning routine, it defently improves your mood for the rest of the day. ☮
Love your tip for grocery shopping on line. The temptations at the grocery store are my biggest obstacles. Thank you... for all your tips.
I am almost 3 years post partum and feeling healthier and stronger than ever. But, I do want to reduce another 5 to 7 lbs and just get in better morning habbitz to wake up early, read my Bible and journal before my son wakes up. I work full time from home too.
So inspirational! Really enjoy seeing another mom finding ways to make her health part of her focus everyday. It’s one of the best ways to show up for your family in the long run. Love it! ❤
This is fabulous!! I think you look amazing, and I applaud you for giving you the credit! While you mentioned some mediation guidance, you show the community that ultimately it is you “one’s own self” that has and can make the change.
Congratulations on the same you, but a healthier, enlightened, powerful, & Stunning new you!
Best,
Julie C
Does anyone have recommendations on how to balance this with working? It's dark when I go to work and almost dark when I get home. I feel like on the weekends I do well with cooking good meals and being active, but during the week, I really struggle after work for the couple hours I have before going to bed.
Do you like your work?? I would be thinking of changing your work or routine. Not getting enough sleep made me a different person and I was fatigued like crazy!! Step one would be imagining a new reality. How can I change my job? How can I change my schedule? What other ways can I, or would I want to make money?? From there you can plan to do stuff you enjoy. Waking up and having coffee and going for a walk or run or start learning calisthenics or lifting!! It sounded like to me, your schedule was hindering your personal goals!! I hope you have found courage and encouragement through this!! 💜
I always think how much better in shape I could be if my 50hr work week didnt get in the way😫
Wow, this is so inspiring! Congratulations. You look amazing! Thank you for the motivation you’ve given me. ❤
Unrelated but your bedroom is amazing! Well done for the weight loss/fitness journey. Impressive and helpful advice as well :D
Hi Ashley, I just wanted you to know that this video that you made (which I accidentally found 4 weeks ago) has changed my life. I just finished reading "The Mountain Is You" and do a gratitude journal every day. I am finally healing from all my traumas and I am finally losing weight and becoming healthy again. I just wanted to say thank you. You never know how you can make a difference in someone's life. Again, THANK YOU!
You look awesome!! I need to do this so bad. I need will power !!!! So proud for you!
Better to cut on bread than eggs. Eggs are very healthy
The waking up for me is gonna be hard. But seriously I need to figure it out. I followed this journey since the beginning on IG. You literally killed it!!!
Thank you Jes!!!💖💖 I feel you!! MY BIGGEST STRUGGLE when naturally I want to stay up all night and sleep in! I’ve never been a morning person but always wished I was! I guess I am now!🥹🫶🏻✨
@jes I´m succeeding in getting up early after listening to Mel Robins and her audiobook „The 5 seconds rule”. I also thought about myself as „not a morning person” but it’s all about making a decision and sticking to it. You don’t have to like it to be able to do it. I’ve been doing it for a month now, almost every day (I think I slept in 2-3 times to get enough sleep if I happened to go to bed too late), I go for a long walk right after I wake up (in May I did 150 miles and took over 430,000 steps. I do intermittent fasting and lost almost 9 pounds already. I’m loving that I’m able to stick to my new habits. I hope I can do it through the autumn and winter but living in Sweden it might prove difficult :)
