2025 Goals

Ok, as promised, here are my goals for 2025. I'm sure it's a growing list as I really didn't put too much thought into. Just some things I'd like to accomplish this year.

The number 1 thing is to have a no buy/low buy year. My freezer is so stuffed most of the time so I need to work on using what's in there before putting more in it. I usually get carried away when shopping and buy items I really don't need.

My no/low buy rules are:

No protein shakes -- I have bags & bags & canisters of protein powder so I need to use those up before buying anymore ready made shakes or even more bags/canisters. Unless it's vanilla flavored as I use that often

No face products except for restock -- I have so many different brands of the same item, such as moisturizers. No buying anything unless I have none left at all.

No clothing -- this will be more of a low buy but I really don't need anymore clothes. I should declutter and get rid of some. I will try to keep this at a real minimum

No shoes -- I probably have 50 pairs of shoes, sneakers, boots, etc. I really didn't buy any this past year but I do not need any shoes of any kind

No candles until all the ones I have are burnt out

Now, Amazon.......my monthly bills have been out of control so I need to reign that in. I do subscribe & save for a bunch of things that I do use every month but it's the other stuff I need to get under control. NO random ordering of things I don't need

I'm setting my grocery budget at $400 - $450 per month. I will aim for $400 but when there are special occasions, you do buy more than usual. 

Like I said, I'm sure this will be a growing list. I think I'll leave it at this for now. I hope this helps you.

I Literally Avoided a Good Friend 🙊

Friends,

Am I the only Scrooge that sees a phone call or DM from a friend I haven’t spoken to in *literally* 10 years, and instantly raises an eyebrow in suspicion?! 🤣

Well, it finally happened to me… not one but TWO friends from my past reached out to me within the same week or so, one via voicemail and one via Facebook message… simply wanting to catch up out of nowhere. 

Stick with me here… I know I sound like a cold-hearted spinster, but trust me, I’m not!  

Something in my gut was just saying, “nahhh.” 🚩🚩🚩 

Come to find out (through another friend who received the exact same calls & messages from both girls!), these ladies had joined a NW Marketing company and were actively reaching out to a bunch of us.

https://giphy.com/gifs/frustrated-ryan-gosling-wMvESGxZ0Cqd2

Even though it felt icky, and I virtually hid from both of them, I felt for them, deep in my soul. 

I’ve wanted two things more than anything in life: 

 To help people.  (Truly help them.)
To have freedom and flexibility.  (That’s 2 things making 3 total, but shhh. 🤫)

But I vowed to myself to do whatever it took to never become “that person,” even if it meant growing my business more slowly than other business owners who are hustling their friends and family.  

I’d rather be the girl that realized she can change lives while having total control over her destiny, and she can build it any way she wants. ✨

It just meant getting out of my comfort zone, out of my own dang head, and deciding to take an action.  To do something different.

Friends, if you take one thing away from my story and thoughts today, I hope it’s that you can trust your gut, and do things your own way.  And it will all be okay. (In fact, chances are FRIGGIN HIGH it will be better than you even imagined.) 💜

Your biggest cheerleader,

Dawn

I’m So Glad I Trusted My Gut 💜

Hey, Friends!

I have an awkward confession that might annoy some friends, but honestly, we’ve probably ALL thought this at some point, so here goes…

I thought my friends who joined network marketing companies were sweet and meant well, but I just knew they were getting scammed. 😫

I’d see all these posts about “working from home,” “creating my own schedule,” or “never missing a milestone with the kids,” and just think… “that’s cute, but constantly hitting up friends to give me money just doesn’t sound worth it for me.”

(I KNOW. Am I a terrible person, or just keeping it real?!)

Here is why I said no to this business at first:

I thought I’d be glued to my phone & social media all the time

I thought I’d have to reach out to friends, family members, coworkers, high school connections, ex-boyfriends, and the Amazon delivery person to tell them I’m selling something and ask them to buy it!

https://media.giphy.com/media/FX3aFKjI4pkxDSFGp1/giphy.gif

I’ll admit it, though… I DID want more freedom with my schedule (badly), and a little $$$ padding each month would have meant the world.  So I followed along with their posts, but from a safe distance.

Don’t tell my boyfriend this, but I have NEVER BEEN HAPPIER TO BE SO WRONG. 🤣

If something works, I’m a fan.  Next, if the company that makes it is one I have respect for and feel confident associating my name with… you bet I’m gonna share this with others who will feel the same way.

(Never once have I felt like I’m stuck on my phone, annoying anyone, or talking to someone I don’t want to be talking to!) 😂

I thought I’d share this little snippet of my experience, just in case you can relate with me and it’s the sign you’ve been looking for. 💕


Talk soon,

Dawn

P.S.
If you DO feel the same way, but the flexibility of making your own schedule and adding extra income are exactly what you need- you should email me at funfitfunfitand50@gmail.com 💖

The 3 Things You NEED to Succeed 👊

Guess what Friends,

I’ll let you in on a little secret…

There are 3 key things you need to reach your goals:

A Plan
Support
Rewards

It may not be fancy, but it’s TRUE! 

I talk to women ALL.THE.TIME. Who want to make changes in their life, start living a healthier lifestyle, and actually see results. And I usually hear the same things:

“I just don’t know where to start.” “I’ve tried before, and it didn’t work out.”

I get it, I felt the same! I had the same thoughts and questions and I spent A LOT of time doubting myself and white-knuckling it, just hoping for the best (100% do not recommend btw). 

But finding what worked for me and my lifestyle, putting in the work and joining a community of people trying to be their best selves ended up being EXACTLY what I needed to get control of my health.

That’s where I come in! I’ve got it all mapped out for you and I’ll be your personal cheerleader along the way!

The right plan can make or break your success, which is why it’s so important to find something that works with your goals and lifestyle and can adapt to your needs as they change! We’re lookin’ for SUSTAINABILITYnot quick fixes that leave you worse off.

Of course, I can’t forget about my favorite part of the trifecta: REWARDS.

Treat your self boo, you deserve it!

It doesn’t have to be a lavish vacay every time you reach a goal (but I wouldn’t complain if it was). I’m talking about taking care of yourself, finding things to look forward to and treating yourself with kindness and compassion along the way.

One of my favorite ways to practice self-care is to slowly stroll and browse through TJ Maxx. Little or big if there is something exciting to look forward too we’re more likely to do what it takes to get there!

This is your year! Get the support and tools you need to be successful and then GET TO IT !

Hey friends,

Do you feel that?

The buzz of a new year… resolutions being made left and right… gyms are full (for a couple months anyway). The “New year, New Me” vibe is STRONG. There’s just something about the thought of an entire year to tackle your sh*t that is SO appealing.

Listen, I know I’m not the only one who has had the best intentions of making changes and given up a couple weeks or months later. But I want to remind you that this time CAN be different, and you deserve the health, skin, hair, hell the LIFE you’ve been dreaming of!

If you are working towards ANYTHING this year and actually want to reach your goals, you need a plan and support. No more putting yourself at the bottom of your to-do list. It’s time to invest in YOU!

This is why I’ve created The Ultimate Goal Crushing Guide. This guide will hone in on EXACTLY how to get you committed, showing up, and reaching your goals by taking things one day at a time. And it’s FREE, so a win-win!

It takes more than just thinking about something to make it happen. I can want to lose 10 lbs, clear my skin or have healthy hair all day long, but if I’m not working towards it…it ain’t happening. Here’s what I realized:

I actually became committed to my goals when I started aligning my values, skills, and passions.

I started showing up for my goals when I found someone to hold me accountable.

I started reaching my goals when I kept taking small consistent steps toward them. (YUP I skipped overhauling my whole life and habits and focuses on the small daily things that would move me closer to my end goal. Plus, I just will not be giving up Taco Tuesdays.


Let’s make 2023 your BEST year!

Want The SECRET SAUCE To Crushing Your Health Goals? 🙌🏻 Well, here it is…

Hey Friends!

Am I the only one getting slammed with “miracle pills” “get fit QUICK” products and advertisements? It’s overwhelming, especially when you are trying to sift through the bullsh*t to find what is REALLY working.

We’ve been talking about what I do and what’s actually WORKING in my health journey for the last couple weeks. And I know I had a zillion questions before I started focusing on my [health] and I’m sure you do too.

But maybe you’re tired of hearing me talk (no offense taken).

The truth is there’s no secret sauce or miracle product. It’s about finding the right tools for you to succeed and making consistent steps toward your fitness and nutrition goals. 

You don’t need to reinvent the wheel, nobody’s got time for that!

Whatever your fitness and nutrition needs are, we’ve got something for ya! All it takes is finding what works for you and trusting the process… Just like I did.

Doing THIS👇Wasted Time and Held Me Back!

Have I always had control of my health? No.
Have I always known what I needed to do to reach my goals? Also no.

I mean… I knew in the general sense that I should eat better and workout more, but did I know what would actually work best for ME and my specific goals? No.

When I first started focusing on my health, I was alllll about the calorie count

Did it matter how I got to my end goal? Definitely not. 

I wasted SO much time doing things that were never going to work long-term. And now friend, I’m here to save you from that same fate!

Just because you eat "healthy" doesn't mean you're getting all the minerals your body needs to function optimally

Before I started to understand HOW my body worked, I was just throwing Band-Aid solutions at it hoping that something would stick.

Knowing what my body needed and finding the tools that targeted THAT was a game changer. And let me just say, I feel like a new woman.

Ok ok,,, I can’t take all the credit for learning how to do so. I couldn’t have done it without the nutrition plans

The nutrtion programs are designed to help you become more aware of the foods and ingredients that bring discomfort and distress to your gut.

It’s doing that and MORE for me! 

As I’m gearing up for the holiday festivities, this program is giving me the energy I need to tackle the to-do lists that will carry me through the season

In Love and Holiday Cheer,

Dawn

P.S. If this sounds like something you need? Send me an email (funfitand50@gmail.com), and I’ll send you the deets! 

🛑STOP thinking like this!

Hey Heeeyyy!!

I don’t know about you, but I love the holidays! Any excuse to pull out the sweaters and light a fire. Annnnd I think we can agree that fall and winter have the best treats! You had me at pumpkin everything and apple cider donuts.

Ok, I’m getting distracted by the holiday food options

But if I’m being honest, this time of the year used to be really tough for me.

I was consumed with feelings of failure for all the changes I wanted to make this year that hadn’t happened. My inner monologue showed up to the party like an uninvited guest hell-bent on ruining everything. I couldn’t figure out how to break the cycle.

If I wasn’t racked with disappointment I was busy telling myself, “Just start fresh next month” or “next year will be your year”.

Um Hello?! This is the same thinking that got me here in the first place! (see what I mean, vicious cycle)

Sound familiar? I know I’m not the only one who felt like this!

The truth is that the holidays can get a little CRAY. But Imagine for a second that this year you are walking into them guilt-free and confident. You don’t have to stress about counting calories. You can enjoy the time with your family and friends without that nagging little voice inside your head.

Wouldn’t that be great?

Give yourself the gift of health and wellness this holiday season, so you can enjoy yourself, feel your best, and have the best of both worlds.

Cheers to health and holiday joy! 

Dawn

P.S. My favorite health and wellness tip as I prepare for the holiday is making sure I move after every meal. It can be a short walk around the block or a living room dance party. I love doing this 20 minute workout after breakfast. Want to check it out? Send me an email at funfitand50@gmail.com and I'll send you the details! 

My Secret to More Energy is Inside! 💌

Hey there, Friends!

Ever wish you could have as much energy as your kids? 

It can be so frustrating to go through your days feeling like there's just not enough in the tank to get you through.

I remember 10 years ago feeling like I was just spinning out of control on the hamster wheel of life. I was lost in what to do for my health and had little motivation to start any kind of new health & fitness routine. 

Looking back, it makes me really sad to even go back to those feelings.

I knew I needed a change, so when I decided to join my coach in her free accountability group, I guess I felt like I had nothing to lose. 

It was in that group that I learned about 5 habits to transform my health and energy:

 #1- Make you your first priority

#2 - Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

#3 - Avoid screen time before work

#4 - Have breakfasts prepared for the week

#5  - Lay out your clothes the night before

And after 30 days of being consistent with this routine, I was BLOWN AWAY at my results!

I had replaced my snooze button hitting with an early morning workout to kickstart my day and I just genuinely felt happier. 

Let me tell you...when you take a chance on YOURSELF, you’d be amazed at the impact it has on your ENTIRE LIFE…and damn, it feels good. 

I spent so much time being skeptical and telling myself all the reasons why it wouldn’t work, when all I had to do was just TRY. Just stick to this routine for 30 days and TRUST the process. 

So don’t wait, friends. Don’t wait to start feeling THIS good. 

Jump in my free Facebook Group and see for yourself just how amazing you can start feeling in the next 30 days.

Just send me an email at funfitand50@gmail.com with the subject line, “Add me!” and you can start getting acquainted today.

This is not an Oprah show. This is my life. Can you relate? 😅

Heyyyy, Friends!

Fall  is  coming  … and you know what that means?

Fresh vibes, back to school and the chance to start something NEW!

I know I’m not alone in saying that things can get hardddd when schedules change and you feel like you have a million new things being thrown at you to figure out…

But what if instead of letting it get the best of us this month, we take ADVANTAGE of this time and start creating new routines and healthy habits! 

Too many times we play the, “It’s a busy season right now. I’ll start prioritizing my health & wellness when things slow down.” And here’s the thing… As much as we want it to, it never slows down. NEVER. This is our life as adults now. 

But here’s the good news… I’m here to take out all the stress, craziness, and overwhelm of helping you start a new health & fitness routine, and it all starts by following my New Routine Survival Guide. 

Open that baby up, get a look at some of my best tips for creating a routine, and take a look at some of my go-to products that make my daily routines a breeze!
