Inspire Me Mommy! : A Community for Women & Children

Attention Beautiful Women & Mothers:

Some of you have been a part of Inspire Me Mommy! , and some of you haven't even heard of it! Well, first of all - it's back! This community is for women & children to come workout, be healthy, accountable, and have fun! As women we often get caught up in caring for our men, children & communities. In that process, we can fail to care for ourselves. Everyone knows that part of being around for our families is being healthy. We also know that working out increases serotonin & endorphin levels to help us feel happier.


When you want to succeed as 
bad as you want to breathe,
then you will be successful.
-Eric Thomas 
Inspire Me Mommy! allows you to bring your children (or leave them elsewhere!) for no additional cost. Too often I hear excuses like: "I can't today, I have my kids". Or "childcare is too expensive" Well that partially true! Even 24 Hour Fitness in Nevada no longer offers childcare due to expenses vs. income. I wonder how many moms will stop working out now?

Inspire Me Mommy! takes away EVERY excuse! For some of you ladies, I know your husbands work Saturdays or play football. What better way to start your weekend then being healthy, receiving encouragement, being in community, and letting your children make new friends? Our children mimic our behavior, and if we show them how to be healthy and have fun doing it, they are much more likely to follow your lead!

As women, our jobs are to be encouraging superwomen who get it all done! How can we do that without investing in ourselves, and being accountable to other women? If we don't have goals, we can't truly help others achieve their goals. In fact, this program was created by me just to help inspire communities, and to connect with all my friends that are moms. I am not yet a mom, and honestly felt like I had a hard time connecting. I have to say, this program is a true blessing! In fact, I am even working with WIC to extend this program as part of my mission to help build stronger women, children, and communities.

Inspire Me Mommy! : Partnership with Erin Laster




I’m Erin. I’m partnering up with the Inspired By Purpose program called Inspire Me Mommy! in which I am part of the community. I’m also a wife, mother, fitness lover and independent consultant with Arbonne, a health and wellness company. This month I am teaming up to help inspire and educate moms about getting healthy from the inside out!

My Story: 

A New Mom, Wellness Coach, Business Owner, Teacher & Fitness Lover


          I have recently entered the life of motherhood, and while it is the most beautiful, rewarding experience I’ve had, it also flips our lives upside down.  So long are the days of CHOOSING to get up at 6:00 in the morning to workout, taking a shower or bath alone, or running a few quick errands after work.  Shoot, I’m lucky if I make it to work on time without the kid still in the car! (Yep, I’ve literally driven all the way to work to find my son in the backseat because I forgot to drop him off at the sitter!)  

         Being a mom is great, but I needed something I could do with my son that still was good for me too.  I was excited to join Channell’s Inspire Me Mommy! program over the summer because it filled this desire. You know, the desire to talk to someone other than your kids, to workout beyond picking up the pacifier off of the floor with the baby in arms, or to just plain get out of the house every now and again? Yeah, that one!

          The other part of having a baby that’s a drag (unless you’re one of those girls we all hate, who leaves the hospital in your pre-preggo jeans) is getting the baby weight off in a timely manner.  I experienced this to the max, in fact, I gained 50 pounds...which some might think is not that much until I tell you that I was only 100 pounds to begin with!! Needless to say, I was ready for a change; a change in my physical and emotional health. 
          The two factors that play the largest roll in physical and mental health, is diet and exercise.  So, that’s what I did. I worked out with Inspire Me Mommy!, and I started changing my eating habits.  This is how Arbonne came into my life.  I was in desperate need to drop a few pounds...the whole wearing the maternity pants long after baby was born was not cute!  A dear friend of mine turned me on to Arbonne’s 30 Days to Feeling Fit Program.  I loved that this was not a fad or crash diet.  This was the opportunity to change the way I thought about food.  There’s no calorie counting, cabbage soup, or special pixie pills.  This program is good old fashioned clean eating.  

My Secret? Clean Eating + Exercise

Arbonne's 30 Day Program Focuses on 5 Key Areas of Health:


-Eating clean- This plan focuses on eating organic (as much as possible) whole foods free of preservatives, additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, artificial flavors and all other toxins.

-Increasing nutrient intake- Due to the overabundance of pre-packaged and fast food, many people today are overweight yet malnourished. They carry toxic fat while their bodies are starving for real nutrition. Eating whole foods, drinking water, and supplementing with nutrients can reverse this condition.

-Eliminate allergenic and addictive foods and beverages (Processed sugars,    gluten, soy, dairy, etc)

-Balance blood sugar- Eating foods that have a low glycemic load can help balance our blood sugar and eliminate cravings for sugar and carbs.

-Support elimination in organs (with a 7-day body cleanse & herbal detox tea)-We wouldn’t think about going a day without brushing our teeth, let alone years and years. Because we can’t see our liver, kidneys, and intestines we forget the important role they play in detoxification. The liver has over 500 functions and the kidneys filter 200 quarts of blood per day. You can hold 5-25 lbs. of waste in your large intestine (colon). All elimination organs need a “tune up” and proper maintenance.




All 5 areas are supported by Arbonne’s whole food nutritional line that is certified vegan, free of gluten, dairy, soy, whey, artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners.  

Some of the products that make life easier while cleansing include:

-Vegan protein shakes
-Sugar free energy drinks
-Herbal detox tea
-Soluble fiber
-Weight loss chews
-7-day detox
-Metabolism booster
-Pre-biotic/pro-biotic
-Whole food vitamins

        My Personal Results:

           I completed this 30 day program a couple months ago.  I lost 18 pounds, 2 inches in my waist, and gained more energy than I have ever had.  But more than that, I gained back my health.  I eliminated cravings and bad eating habits, and learned how I can provide my family with nutritious, clean meals on a busy schedule. To me, this was priceless. 
          When the 30th day came I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t want to go back to eating the way I had before.  I passed on the donuts at work, the bread basket at dinner, and the sugary beverages I had craved before.  After experiencing this feeling, I wanted everyone in my life to feel the same way I did.  I joined Arbonne because I believe in this program.

My Goal

          Arbonne’s healthy living programs are more than just a box of products.  When you make the decision to get healthy with Arbonne, you get support from coaches, like myself, who have been through the program.  You also get access to meal plans, recipes, and a Facebook support page exclusively for Arbonne clients going through the cleanse. 
 
          My goal is to partner with other women to help them reach their health goals.  Whether those goals are weight loss, weight maintenance, reversing the effects of allergenic foods on the body, or just plain helping women make healthier day to day choices.  These changes are meant to be lifestyle changes, not “diets.”  You will feel better, have more energy, sleep better, and look great!!

          So, what are you waiting for? Put your best foot forward in 2014.  It’s never too late to make a change; your body depends on it!
