Discover The AM Routine That Helped 

Me Become Naturally Lean!

My breaking point was quite the literal breaking point. And it was one I kept secret for a long time. Whenever anyone asked me “Why now?” I told them that it was just time — I was “just sick of being fat.” But really, there’s more to the very embarrassing story.

It happened last summer. I went to our annual women’s breakfast with my mom’s side of the family. It was our normal, fun family time with delicious food and lots of catching up. 

When I returned home after the breakfast, that is when the “incident” happened. My first stop after the two-and-a-half-hour drive home is always the bathroom because I don’t believe in “pee breaks” when they can be avoided (public restrooms are just nasty!). 

So, I sit down on the toilet. And I hear a loud cracking sound.

“Um,” I say to myself (and my nearby cat, Luna). “I think my toilet just broke.”

So, I stand up to take a look and…WHAT THE WHAT?! Pain. Awful pain. My butt was pinched in my freshly broken toilet seat. I had to pry the broken toilet seat back apart because it quickly closed up tightly around my skin! I imagine it must have looked pretty ridiculous had there been an outside observer: Me, standing there with my pants and under britches around my ankles, turned halfway around, fighting with the jaws-of-life toilet seat.

It was then and there, mid-pee, pinched butt hanging out that I decided it was time to do something about my weight. A black-and-blue bum really makes a girl seriously rethink things.

Besides the pinch in the butt, I needed to get myself in gear, this adventure in bathroom disaster taught me a couple things:

1. I now know, how to replace a toilet seat (it’s so ridiculously easy)!

2. Sometimes it’s in the very worst moments that your life changes for the best.

From then on, I decided to try all the things I would read about:

❌Drink more water

❌Sign up for a gym membership

❌Eliminate sugar & carbs

❌Cleanses & detoxes

❌Keto, Paleo, South Beach

NONE of it worked! I’d lose 5 to 10 but gain it all back once I stopped exercising.

One night, I was scrolling through Facebook and saw my old friend Caroline. She updated her profile picture, and she looked amazing! Keep in mind, she is 55 and had 3 kids!! When she posted pictures of herself going from 255 down to 191 and all the way down to 140, I KNEW she was on to something. I sent her a private message. We’d kept in touch on and off throughout the years.

Thankfully she replied immediately and told me about the simple “AM routine” she started just after the holidays. Just like me, she had tried many different workouts, diets, and supplements without any luck.
