Heeeeey everyone! Well, it has been one heck of a week and I can’t wait to share all about it with you. I’ll try to keep it short so you can get straight to the little video. I traveled to Arizona last Sunday to have an awesome fitness/bikini shoot with the AMAAAAAZING Sarah Lyons from Picturegroove photography. This is my first time back behind the camera after baby #2, little miss Madelynn Ann. I have worked my tail off since embarking on  my “Bringing Milfey Back” journey starting in February, and have thoroughly enjoyed sharing the real, raw, TRUTH’s about getting back into bikini shape after putting my body through the WAR we call pregnancy!

At times I felt helpless, beat down, and downright heartbroken with my progress, or lack there of… I took you though the mountains and valleys of great success and deep despair. In the end I persevered and ended up obtaining my workout and fitness goals, ( at least for now, today, at this point). Who know’s what goal’s I will set for myself next, but you better believe they will be high! I set the bar as ridiculously high as I can so if I even obtain half of what I set out to do, I can take pride in at least getting HALFWAY there! I think I like to set goals like that for myself to keep me hungry and striving to be the best vision of myself I can be.

I have been so fortunate and blessed to know and befriend SO many wonderful people in the fitness industry and I look to them on social media and in “real life” for inspiration and motivation all the time. If I compare myself to some of the incredible and amazing women I know, I’m really small potato’s and just earned my right to start from scratch to reach some greater fitness goals. However, as of now I’m proud and thankful that I made it this far, especially knowing where I began!  Like I said in an earlier post, if I could bottle and sell this feeling I have inside I would be a billionaire a billion times over.

My wish for all of you is to reach down deep and go for your goals. Set and make plans for your own personal success, no matter what it is… JUST DO IT… Life is short, far too short, and you don’t want to be the one playing Monday morning quarterback when your 80 years old saying, “Shoulda, woulda, coulda”…. My advice is this, and take it or leave it, DO…. IT…. NOW!!!! Be the best version of yourself at all costs, and if you think you are a million miles from that vision, you’re right, and if you think you are 10 miles from that vision, you’re right too…. So do something about it, and do it with love, peace and joy in your hearts! Then PAY IT FORWARD, there is no greater gift to our souls than to help others along this crazy, twisted, amazing ride we call LIFE!

I want to first an foremost thank Scott and Sarah Samuels, and Cameron Campi at PushDT for being the most incredible team of trainers I could ask for to bring me to the level of fitness I am at right now. If ANYONE living in the CA Bay Area needs a class that rocks the fat off and keeps you begging for more, come join us, we love new folks! Visit their website www.pushdt.com for pricing and class schedules, he also offers personal training sessions!

Second, Sarah Lyons from PictureGroove photography for doing an incredible job of photographing my first shoot, and Bringing Milfey Back Progress! Sarah and her dream team made me feel amazing and so very special, I wish we could all play “Big Kid Dress Up” at this caliber, SO much fun. My auntie Lacy and Nitro Mike for filming the cool video you’re about to watch, such cool and talented people, and you can check out there work at Hot Brass and Bullets on YouTube! Go to www.picturegroove.com for booking and just to check out some cool fitness and fashion models! Also, Chris Denise from Reel Eagle studios that became a part of our household and now a great workout buddy, who filmed all of the Bringing Milfey Back documentaries. His dedication and exceptional camera skills really helped everyone SEE exactly what the journey entailed. SO THANK YOU, you are all so appreciated and LOVED by me!

Last but not least the biggest thanks to my husband Kris and our Nanny/German niece/ Christina. If it wasn’t for the encouragement from my husband and his calm, steadfast demeanor and the peace of mind Christina gave me while watching my children, I would have never embarked on such a journey! Thanks to all of my friends that join me in my workouts, and to all of you that follow along and give advice and words of encouragement!

Now, I know that saying all of these THANK YOU’s and shoutouts seems like my Bringing Milfey Back quest is coming to an end…….. but this is only the beginning!! I CANNOT wait to share what is coming next, I only have this video and some behind the scenes pics to share because the other images will be shown in about a month because  SOMETHING REALLLLLLY COOL is happening with them now, and I am not a liberty or able to discuss it now!

Thank you all for following along and….. Without any further ado…. (a little different then before) OPEN you’re eyes folks! Here is my Sunday Picture Progress. ENJOY!

Until next time,

Health and Love,

Lisa
