I QUIT!!! So three years ago I quit.... Post babies (I had a 3 year old and a 6 year old) The Picture on the left I was going to the gym 3-5 times a week and eating why I thought was healthy and I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t seeing the results. So I started to search for protein shakes to add to my routine thinking maybe I needed an extra boost to gain muscle and burn fat. Well I found one watching someone I was friends on FB and she looked incredible. And it came with some at home workouts that I swore wouldn’t work anyway but I started throwing it in between when I couldn’t make it to the gym. Then about 6 months later after drinking my superfood protein shake and trying the home workouts more I QUIT... I Quit the gym! I started learning the right kinds of foods to eat, how much MY body needed to be at it’s healthiest, I was working out in the comfort of my HOME, being supported by this community of other working moms and ladies who were trying to get healthy in their busy lives and it felt amazing!!! AND I STARTED SEEING RESULTS!!!! This is me on the right 3 years later... yep eating more than ever, working out at home or anywhere I go and I feel better than ever!!! If you Quit anything, QUIT what isn’t working!!! Quit leaning into your excuses, Quit telling yourself you can’t reach your goals, Quit giving yourself an out, Quit tolerating your bad habits! My February Bootcamp starts on February 4! What are you ready to quit? Message me or comment below to hold your spot and for details!

Quitting smoking feels good. So good in fact that I started working out again this weekend. I’m going on day 4 of no cigarettes and my energy is already picking up. #weekendworkout #iamaquitter #progress #selfimprovement

. I DID IT!! It's been 67 hours since my last cigarette!! . Never thought I could actually do this, especially without nicotine gum, patches, Chantix, etc. and having been a smoker for almost 30 years!! Luckily, my anxiety coach ( @beatanxiety.me ) had a little more faith in me than I did (Thank You Ryan 🙏). . Using modalities learned through those coaching sessions, I was able to quit without exchanging smoking for another unhealthy coping mechanism, as was my norm in the past. My "swap meet" days with that shit are over!! . The decision to quit anything is yours and yours alone to make. Stopping for anyone other than yourself is like putting one tiny band aid on a gaping wound. Everything of what used to be your "life" will continue to bleed out until you take a look inwardly. It's there you'll see you ARE worth more than the cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc. and once you come to that realization, the hard parts of quitting don't seem to be so hard anymore..... . #youarenotamistake #youareworthy #youmatter #youcandoit #iamanonsmoker . . #bpd #eupd #ptsd #cptsd #bipolar #ocd #depression #anxiety #beatanxiety #suicide #identityissues #mentalhealth #addiction #withdrawal #smoking #iquit #iamaquitter #havefaithinyourself #anxietycoach #thechoiceisyours #modalities #youcandoit #emotional #spiritual #physical

Idag er det ét år siden jeg stoppede med at ryge 🤘🏼🚭 Jeg fanger mig selv i, at tænke på samfundsnormer, tabuer omkring rygning under graviditet og omkring at indrømme at være stolt af sig selv. Sidstnævnte virker heldigvis til at være under forandring. 🌱 Idag har jeg fortalt mig selv, (ca. 463 gange) at jeg skal stoppe disse tanker og NYDE at jeg nu opfylder mit eget kriterie for at være eks-ryger: 1 år uden cigaretter 💪🏻🙅🏼♀️ #stopsmoking #iamaquitter
I woke up on May 4th, 2014 in Jacksonville and was on my way to buy a couple of cartons of Marlboro Lights to bring back to NY since they're so much cheaper there, and then I suddenly and simply changed my mind... and I haven't smoked a cigarette since. The fact that it was May the Fourth is honestly just a coincidence. #IAmAQuitter #Hashtag #MayTheFourthBeWithMe
Wanted to try and straight iron curl my hair 😂😂😂 cute thought... 45 min after straightening it I decided to try that part tomorrow it’s too hot 🥵 when I use that thing and I wasn’t up for another 45 min ATM....... 🥵 🔥 #neverhaveiteasy #curlyfrizzyhair #straightenbeforeyoucurl #insane #iamaquitter #tryagainlater #cheese
Last Black Friday (11/23/2018) I signed up for a virtual race with #yesfit. On 4/11, I completed my first virtual race... a 104.6 mile run around the Ring Of Kerry in Ireland. That's 139 days, so an average of 0.75 miles a day... not too impressive, but still more than I would have done a year ago! Never actually hoped a flight, but it was fun to watch my mileage move through the map... and I got this awesome reward to boot!Currently waiting to hit a new goal before signing up for my next race, the 155 mile Turtle Herd! #running #yesfit #virtualrace #itsamedal #progress #goals #iamaquitter

18 years ago today, I chose my life over nicotine! This is the one time being a QUITTER is okay! #18YearsSmokeFree #IAmAQuitter
Woohoo! 4 year anniversary since my last cigarette! Since then, I have 'not smoked' 14,553 cigarettes! Sometimes I dream about them still, and when I'm sitting around a camp fire, I want one. But I don't stink (as much) I have more money in the bank, my teeth aren't yellow, so many good things! This is my proudest achievement. It was so hard and took so many tries to quit. I will never have a cigarette again. Can't ruin this streak I am on!! Plus, who can afford it now a days? 😂😂 . . #quitsmoking #iamaquitter #smokingsucks #healthy #healthylife @quitpro #iamanonsmoker

I've tried... Well let's say a "few" times to quit smoking. Even tried to read this book before! BUT before it took me like I don't know a month to read.. 🤦 yeah that's not the point of the book. I didn't want to finish it because I didn't want to quit smoking or at least I thought I didn't. But let me tell you reading it this time around it's all seeming to make sense and I plan on finishing it tonight or early tomorrow morning because I'm ready to be done. I'm ready to be free of this nasty addiction that serves me no purpose at all. In fact it's just diminishing my health and costing me a shit ton of money! 🤷 And yes every smoker in the world knows the disadvantages of smoking but we focus on the "disadvantages" of quitting. Which in reality there are no disadvantages to quitting... Like at all but smoking cigarettes is an ADDICTION. Unfortunately for some addictions are really hard to break away from! I am beyond thankful that I decided to give this book another shot!! 🙌 I can't wait to be a NON SMOKER AGAIN!! 😍😍 . . . . . . . . . #iamaquitter #smoking #easywaytostopsmoking #reading #gettingitdone #ivegotthis #gonnabeanonsmoker #instadaily #pictureoftheday

I quit smoking 2 years ago and I’m so pleased that I finally did it. Took decades and several attempts but champix finally worked for me. Now I am 55 years old with a fitness age of 25. No way could I have achieved that whilst still smoking even though I always maintained quite a healthy lifestyle otherwise. I was just addicted to nicotine. No more! #lovecycling #nosmoking #iamaquitter #2yearsfreeoffags #healthyliving @nuffield.health #fitnessage25 #realage55 #freedomfromnicotine #keepingfitandhealthy #mawcycling

on the last day of 2018, i officially updated my 'health' status for a lower insurance premium (after more than 1 year of quitting 🚬, no less!). vaguely remember keeping my last pack as a keepsake but can't find it anymore now. haha. goodbye to my fellow kakis. #stubitout #iamaquitter #whenisyourturn
365 days ago I smoked my last cigarette! It's been a long road to quitting. But I am proud to say I have not touched a single cigarette since then. Not even one puff! Admittedly it's been harder than expected at times. I still get the occasional craving, particularly when I am stressed. I've thought about having one here and there, even as recently as a few weeks ago. I won't touch them. Ever. Again. I know I may live with a lifetime of cravings here and there, but I can live with that to be smoke free! The reason I quit, aside from the obvious reasons. If I continued to smoked this past year, that would have brought me to my 26th birthday as a smoker. Which would have made me a smoker for half of my life. I am far too young to be able to say that. Something had to change! 12 years a smoker. 1 year free! ☆ I am officially a non-smoker ☆ • • • • • • #365 #oneyear #smokefree #quitsmoking #nonsmoker #ididit #success #iamaquitter #health #motivationalmonday #youcandoit

It has been a year. A beautiful year of experiencing growing pains. Discovering self worth and embracing that vibrant child from within! This has been an intentional year of removing the decorated masks that I swore I would never remove. It has been an intentional year of developing new coping mechanisms and finding the strength to pick myself up after tripping. It’s learning when I tripped up and taking responsibility. It became of year of letting go of everything that is not needed. It is restructuring who I thought I was, and being pleasantly surprised by the woman I truly am. Some of the greatest gifts to living life with intention, is learning how to laugh again. Real laughing from my soul. Feeling the joys of life and seeing the beauty in moments, that I used to drown myself in. I am gaining my life back, and that is the greatest gift of all. • • • #soberissexy #bossbabe #shewolfstudio #queen #queening #artistlife #womenempowerment #womeninspiringwomen #inspiredaily #lifestyle #lifeisgood #womenempire #powerfulwoman #intentionalliving #soberliving #alcoholfree #recoveryispossible #sobermovement #healthyliving #dontquityourdaydream #womenpower #strongwoman #iamaquitter #girlboss #femalehustler #bossbabetribe #soberlife #sober

First of all guilty.

I turned in my two weeks notice and I cried; big ugly alligator tears. I was terrified and excited and couldn’t believe I had actually done it. I had a great job, a job with plenty of career progression options, a job that challenged me, coworkers I enjoyed, time off, benefits, all of the above. And I quit.⠀ ⠀ Why would any sane human do such a thing? Truth is I didn’t have an option. I had this burning feeling in my stomach telling me there was something more out there, I was restless, anxious, discontent and it was slowly ruining my life. ⠀ ⠀ I was stressed out. I was becoming a terrible employee/friend/girlfriend/everything because I was fighting so hard against my heart. So I gave in. I quit.⠀ ⠀ I took a huge, scary, really might fail in a supernova of glory risk and jumped all in to my own health and wellness business. Truth is I have no idea what I’m doing! I’m failing spectacularly every single day. But I’m trying. I’m showing up. And I’m giving it everything I have everyday for myself and my clients. ⠀ ⠀ And just in case you think I have a huge safety net….I am the income source for my household. But don’t feel sorry for me; be excited! Cheer for me, I need it!!! (I’ll be waiting for them in the comments) I’m grabbing my life and making it into the dream I want it to be as scary and as hard as that might be.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ You know why? I’m worth it.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Shameless plug: if you want to support my dream I’m taking on new clients right now. And if your dream sounds similar to mine I can help you chase it. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #chaseyourdreams #bigrisksgivebigrewards #jumpingwithoutanet #youcansitwithus #workingfromhome #mybeautifulmess #bigdreamer #whynotyouwhynotnow #notmarried #virtualprofessional #iamaquitter #absolutelyterrified #nomore9to5 #freedom #wannabeentrpreneur #getcomfortablewithuncomfortable #doitforyou #youareabadass #dreambigger #sinkorswim #traveljunkie #strongandsmart #mathnerd⠀
Today my youngest came up to me and asked how long it's been since I quit. I'm at the point now where I'm not really keeping track. But here it is 113 days. Think I'll keep it up. :) #quitsmoking #quittingsmoking #iamaquitter #betterhealth

FLASHBACK FRIDAY! I love this pic! I was at a fun Halloween party at my friend’s house & this was (& still is) the biggest burger I’ve ever seen! But this pic reminds me of something else so important in my life. That was the last night I ever smoked a cigarette. That was the time I finally quit that filthy habit for the last time! It’s so weird to think on how my life is now, that I ever had that nasty habit (for about 10 years) & how I’m so proud of myself for finally giving it up! #iamaquitter #flashbackfriday #halloween #halloweencostumeparty

Can you believe it?! Less than 10 years apart! Look at the progress! Right now I’m totally off of the wagon again. Good thing the wagons wheels are still working and can start rolling again. This is SUPER hard during the holidays, but I believe that I can achieve my goals! I don’t want to go back to unhealthy. I want to stay healthy, in body and mind, and continue on this journey in feeling comfortable in my own skin. This is going to be scary, but I know that if I’ve come this far, I can go even farther! This time, I don’t want to take 10 years. Watch! I’ll do it in 2. I want to be close to confident/comfortable by 30. I have 2 years and 9 months to obtain it, but I know it can be done! 275lbs vs 173lbs . . . . . . . . . . . #iamaquitter #beastmom #mamashark #imtrying #fitlife #fitmom #beastitout #ineedcaffeine #healthylifestyle #persevere #nevergiveup #courageandstrength #loveyourself #loveup #effyourbeautystandards #keeponswimming #jesushelpme #doitup #hustlehard #achievingdreams #getitdone #yas

#kicklifeintheface #bossup #ownit Right now, it may seem hard. Honestly, you feel so weighed down by everything that is or has gone by you that you can barely breathe. You’re trapped under your fears and anxiety, one hand on your chest while the other is reaching out for help and the only thing you can feel is the air blowing by your fingertips. There’s a small piece of twine that has brushed by your fingertips. That’s the only thing you can hope for is that twine to get closer. Don’t wait for it to come to you, crawl a couple inches and grasp it for yourself! . YOU CAN DO IT! ¡SI SE PUEDE! . Once you get that small grasp, don’t let go! .

Rocking day 2! #smokefree #givingup #iamaquitter
Look at the stars, look how they shine for you 🌟 🎶 Each star is ONE more day of my life. I never thought I could get through two HOURS without a cigarette, and here I have just passed TWO MONTHS!! It blows even *my* mind! 👊 I have smoked for 20+ years. Every day, I still have to deal with some cravings, and every day I remind myself Never Again. Here's to many moons to come, and smoke free! 💘 I have lost nothing. I have not given up, at all. I have gained SO MUCH. And there is Oh, so much more to come. I Am an EX, yeah, I'm a Quitter! 👏😘 Look for a post to come of things NO one tells you about quitting.

A few months ago I posted a quote about imaging how you would look and feel in 6 months if you did work out and then didn’t. Well, it’s almost been six months since then and let me tell you, I’ve been on a freaking roller coaster!! My addiction to food and my habit of “just this one time” has resulted in me eating a full bag of chips throughout the day, lying to myself and creating excuses, again! I just want to be healthy and wish I could find something/someone to push me! I don’t want to die because of health problems, being too big for a rollercoaster or debating in the closet for 10 minutes because the shirt and pants combo I have just doesn’t work and I can’t find another shirt that fits well. I need to comeback and feel comfortable with me again! I think I need to officially take a social media break and focus on mine and my family’s health, being physical, mental and emotional. Not like I have many people who follow me anyway, but I’ll see you all around someday. 💜 #takingbackcontrol #weneedabreak #seeyouatthetop . . . . . . . . . . . #iamaquitter #beastmom #imtrying #fitlife #fitmom #beastitout #ineedcaffeine #healthylifestyle #persevere #nevergiveup #courageandstrength #loveyourself #loveup #effyourbeautystandards
1 year apart. #nsv I’ve been feeling soooooo bad for what I’ve been doing to my body these past few months. I’ve tricked it. One week I’m eating right, the next I’m not, the third I’m here and there and the fourth, my body is just so KC fused!! I work out once in a while and this is NOT where I want to be. No matter what though, I’m a mom and need to be strong for my children.

I put this in my calendar the first day I quit smoking, an entire year ago. I witnessed the ripple effect take over my life in a way I would have never expected and I can honestly say I have never been happier. I am a quitter and I am okay with that. #livesmokefree #healthylifestyle #iamaquitter
Still have a craving now and then, but I will not go back #iquit #iamdone #iamaquitter #usingmoneytotravel #winning

Dear smoker friends! Today is a big day for me. It’s a day that I’d never thought I’d see. Today makes ONE YEAR since I had my last cigarette. If anyone had to ask me a year and a day ago if I ever planned on breaking the habit I would’ve come up with a million excuses at the drop of a hat with as to why I would/ could not. A year ago I went cold turkey. I’m not saying it was easy, it was probably the toughest thing I had to do but I did it. My line of work involves being around smokers all the time. However, I identified my triggers and just didn’t give in. The key is to just fight that urge for 3 minutes. And when that urge comes back, fight it for 3 minutes again. That’s all it takes. And trust me, if I could do it, ANYONE can. Just be strong, be mentally present at all times and make the right choices. I’m going to get back to losing all the weight that I’ve gained after quitting and you guys get to quitting. Cheers everyone! #iamaquitter #nonsmoker #tobaccofree
1 year ago today, I woke up from a very realistic and dreadful nightmare. The fear was so palpable that after 29 years of smoking, I quit in that very moment - COLD TURKEY! No pills, patches, or vapes. How, you ask??? Because my reasons to quit (see those beautiful faces in the photos above) were much stronger than my want, my need, my addiction! - - 10 months later, I also took control of my weight - and completed the triad of my Mind/Body/ Spirit Transformation!! - - When your WHY is big enough / STRONG enough..... you can conquer ANYTHING!!! - - #successisaroundthecorner #iamaquitter #knowyourwhy #quitsmokingnow #iwokeuplikethis #knowyourreasons #soulfullife #justagrandmomwhoturnedherlifearound #coachvickilynne #lifecoach #healthcoach #resultscoach #getalifecoach #goodhabits #healthyhabits #healthylifestyle #transformation #transformyourlife #habitsofhealth #habitsofhealthcoach #itsanewdawnitsanewday #nomoreexcuses #youropportunityawaits #coachVL

Went out to eat tonight with my husband, babies and brother in law. YES.... I did have a handful of fries, BUT this was my meal. Grilled chicken with guac and bacon, accompanied by a bottomless salad. #practicingketo #canidoit? #maybesomeday HAHA . . . . . . . . . . . #iamaquitter #beastmom #imtrying #fitlife #fitmom #beastitout #ineedcaffeine #healthylifestyle #persevere #nevergiveup #courageandstrength #loveyourself #loveup #effyourbeautystandards

Some of these I can’t find the difference until I look at the bottom left to right. Thank you Lord for helping me through this journey! I haven’t relied on any shakes, fat burners or slimming pills. I do however need a multi-vitamin! (Top) L-R: 10 years ago, Easter 2017, October 2017.

1 year apart!! Although I just picked back up, AGAIN, I’m never going to go back. Looking at this shows me how far I’ve really come and how much further I can go. My progress may be slow, but my accomplishments are many!!! #notgivingup #fall10timesgetup11 . . . . . . . . . . . #iamaquitter #beastmom #imtrying #fitlife #fitmom #beastitout #ineedcaffeine #healthylifestyle #persevere #nevergiveup #courageandstrength #loveyourself #loveup #effyourbeautystandards
I LOVE my kitchen! 💖 I spend most of my time in it, cleaning and cooking. I’m always taking pride in how I clean it because I care for my house so much! The simplicity it brings me gives me so much joy! Thank you Lord for blessing me with a house that I love so much and a kitchen I adore!! Also: Never mind the overturned chair in the background, my 1 year old is crazy and starting to crawl lol #micocina #mykitchen #loveit #blessed . . . . . . . . . . . #iamaquitter #beastmom #imtrying #fitlife #fitmom #beastitout #ineedcaffeine #healthylifestyle #persevere #nevergiveup #courageandstrength #loveyourself #loveup #effyourbeautystandards
