I LOVE what happens when you put a bunch of motivated women in a private group and say “ok, let’s get healthy together.” Women do AMAZING things. They support, they encourage, they show up for eachother and they empower eachother. 
Strangers become friends who become family — and all of a sudden time goes by,  you get to your goals and these strangers are the people you can’t wait to see everyday. 

Zoe used to be a stranger to me. Then, one day she ended up in my fitness group and the rest is history. I look forward to seeing her posts, hear how her life is going and now that I occasionally see her in person and know who she is, I squeal like a little kid again because I am just so darn proud of her and happy to have her in my life. 

People always ask me, “how can I get results.” And I always say “join me” and I will show you JUST HOW I did it and others have done also. Zoe joined in, she committed, she showed up and her results are PROOF that all it takes is a good workout plan, cleaning up your nutrition and some support. (Hint: exactly what we do in our fitness groups). 

I am excited to share my interview with Zoe and celebrate her right here!

1. What have your results been so far?

I have lost weight but gained myself. Since May of 2018, I have lost 20 pounds and 9 inches, but I have gained so much confidence in myself. I feel comfortable in my skin again and I feel so much more grounded

2. What has been your biggest struggle?

My biggest struggle was consistency and doing all the components: exercise, food containers, shakes and water. It all seemed overwhelming to me. If I have learned one thing about myself is that I cannot go all in. I know that is contrary to what some of these programs are, but for me if I go all in and change everything, I lose steam.

3. How did you overcome that struggle?

Overall my biggest struggle is staying consistant and not quitting. I am not an exerciser, never have been. I never even played sports as a kid. There have been times in my life where I did go to the gym for three-to-six months consistently and a few years back I did yoga pretty consistently, but eventually I stopped. I don’t think I ever had a goal or never really new why I wanted to do it, so when life got in the way exercise always took a back seat

4. What did you do to get to your goals?

I did not want this just to be one more program, so I started out slowly. I thought that if I could just commit to 30 minutes a day at lunch, I could achieve that. But a few weeks into it, I realized if I wanted solid results, I needed to add in all the other elements, so I slowly did. I added the the shake and then I added the portion containers and eventually I added the water. Water has been the biggest challenge. I loathe drinking water. I guess cause I do not being cold, but I have never drank a lot which is not good. I will tell you though, once I started to drink water, the weight came off much more easily. But I could not do any of this without the groups, they have been the game changer. Those redminders, tips and support we get for each other.

5. What is your favorite personal development book and why?

I mostly read self development books so this is a hard one. I am going to say, “Power” from Rhonda Byrne. It is the sequel to the “Secret”. The “Secret” is about manifestistesting the life you want through positive thinking and visualization. The “Power” builds on this concept and it is about how all positive feelings are created by love and passion. I mean love is what makes the world go around, so why would it not help us create the life we want. I am heart and am a big lover. Sometimes stress and responsibility get in the way of this, but this book reminds you that if you dig deep and find that love you can find yourself and the life you want.

 

6. What is your goal right now?

My goal right now ids to commit to Transform :20 entirely-all in. Now that sounds strange right because I told you I could not do that when I started because I would lose steam. Well that is now my new goal, because I am mentally and physically a lot stronger. I will turn 45 at my one year on beachbody and I want to be able to fit into a bikini. As superficial as that may sound, I want my outside to match my inside. I realize to get that stomach I want I need to really hone in my nutrition. There is always room to clean it up and I just need to push myself a little harder in the workouts, so hear I come. I am ready!

 

 

7. What is your advice for someone who is just starting out?

Just do it. Sometimes we overthink or we procrastinate. I think it is because we are fearful, scared. We may not recognize it, but if you peel back the layers you may find that to be true. This year has been about just doing it and not to mention its friend determination. It’s about mind over matter and keeping the your goals at the forefront. Eventually it gets easier and it all become much more innate, but when you are getting started just do it.

 

8. What is your favorite Disney movie and why?

 

Wow this is the hardest question of all. I am going to go with Mary Poppins. I mean who would not want a magical nanny to show up at their house? I never really got into the princess movies. I loved all the singing and dancing and as a kid I wanted to be an actress and I loved Julie Andrews. As an adult I realize I loved that film for the same reason I love the Harry Potter films, magic. Magic is wondrous and it sparks your imagination and creativity. It fills you with hope and inspiration. I believe we can create our own magic.

 

LOVE the belief that we can create our own magic. Because we can! 
And you CAN do this too!!!

Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer or poorer, in sickness and health” to the test. 😳

Between hospital bills and almost 2 weeks in the hospital - we have reached the sicker and poorer side of our marriage 🫤

But we have also stayed madly in love throughout every adventure and moment… and this won’t be any different. 🥰

To the guy I married when I was 20 years old and everyone said it was crazy…. 

You are the best part of my life 💕

Here’s to another 16…. 🥂 
More health & more richer 😉😆

HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉 My favorite pe HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉

My favorite person in the entire world is home after a long 12 days in the hospital!!!!!!

12 days is the LONGEST we have ever not snuggled together….
The LONGEST the kids haven’t had daddy home…

For 10 of those days, we didn’t have a full conversation.. which is also the longest time we have gone without talking 😪

He still has pancreatitis and will need gallbladder surgery in the near future….
But for now, he can heal at home with his family! 💕

We are so grateful for all of the love, prayers, visits, meals, kid pickups and every bit of incredible support. 

For most of the time he was gone, I cried every morning and every night before and after I was with him. 
I am so very grateful for every person that offered any help because it meant soooo much and mentally I needed it!!!

We are soooooooooooo grateful as a family for ALL OF YOU!! 💕

Every person who helped and prayed and supported us was absolutely apart if his healing.

We are snuggling him extra now and taking every bit of time we have with him!!!

XOXOX, 
The Doran’s

This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… 

But I would pick these kids, this family and this moment of pride for my boy over and over again. 

Just being together matters. 

Just raising good humans matters. 

If my Mothers Day gift this year was this reminder that my kids are growing into great people.. that’s enough 💕

I don’t know if it’s a sign… But I do know t I don’t know if it’s a sign…
But I do know there is power in prayer…
I do know there aren’t any coincidences…
I do know that these doves weren’t not just flying by and found a place to land… 
They had to come from up above and swoop down into this courtyard.

Tonight will officially mark the most amount of ni Tonight will officially mark the most amount of nights we haven’t slept together in 17 years… 😢

The hardest part of today was him being out of it so much and sleeping that he was talking in his sleep to the kids. 😪

The second hardest was feeding him and seeing him be the most weak he has ever been. 

The third hardest was leaving him… 

I walk away and leave it to God and the nurses to take care of him while I’m gone.

And go home and put a smile on my face when I’m home with the kids…

And pray that when I come back, he has GRANDPA JOE’d himself out of this bed and I can take him home 🥰
Our favorite person in the house went to the ER wi Our favorite person in the house went to the ER with chest pains (holy scare) —
And it turned out to be the gallbladder. 😬

After alot of scans and tests, it looks like our guy is going to spend some days in the hospital and set to have surgery soon. 😢

My husband is the ROCK of this whole family. 
Everyone else (including me) are just mini hurricanes in this life and he is the rock that stays still and holds us all together. 

For a second, I thought I would just stay silent on here. If it wasn’t fitness, podcasts or inspiration, maybe I’ll just keep quiet. 

But - I have opened up alot about my life… 
And I don’t want you to follow me or my family and think everything is rainbows and butterflies.

I don’t want people who go through illness or hard times to think they are alone in that. I want to continue to show you that there are hard times, scary times and not every day is a party… but we move forward. 

We draw strength from eachother as a family, we draw strength from the friends that have been placed in our lives and we draw strength from God. 

I will continue to be open about our family in hopes to inspire you, to be here for you if YOU need someone and to show you that we’re all human and all have struggles. 

We are patiently waiting for surgery…
we were all set to go yesterday but his pancreas levels were bad so they canceled it.

Today, we are waiting for blood work to give us the all clear for surgery and hope his pain goes away. 

The kids have never seen daddy like this so it’s hard watching them cry everytime they think of him or see him, while trying to hold it in at the same time. 😪

Last night, the kids and I prayed..
We prayed for daddy’s pain, we prayed for the surgeons hands, for the nurses who are taking care of him, for the doctors, and for our friends who have been so thoughtful.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers, love and support! 💕
All the feels today as so many people stopped to s All the feels today as so many people stopped to support my sweet girl. Some teenagers, some parents and then this guy that paused his job to give her some business. 

He then gave her back the dog treat and said to give it to the dog. 

All. The. Feels. 💕

Would love to blow up his kindness 💕
