Have you seen the term “toxic positivity” floating around the internet lately?

This is the belief that even in the most difficult, challenging situations, people should maintain a positive mindset and look for the good. The argument with toxic positivity is that 1.) it paints a picture of fake or artificial happiness, just for the sake of having “good vibes”, and 2.) it causes an unrealistic reaction that does not allow the natural loop of emotional responses to take place.

No matter your stance on this idea, being optimistic does not necessarily mean “happy” at all times. It just means that you see life’s stressors, and believe you have the tools to approach any situation in a productive way. This leads to less stress, less negative thoughts, and builds yourself a toolbox of approaches for any future hardship.

What are some things in your positivity toolbox? What can you do in the low moments that will rework your brain to see the positive side?

I’m always here for a salad that is colorful, light, and refreshing… just like this Cucumber, Watermelon, and Mango salad! The best part: it’s also super simple to make!

You don’t even need a dressing; however, you could definitely squeeze some fresh lemon or lime juice in or even a drizzle of balsamic. Excuse me, I need to go to the grocery store and make this salad RIGHT NOW.

Ingredients

- ½ cup cubed mango

- ½ cup cubed watermelon

- 1 cup chopped cucumber

- 4 oz cooked chicken breast (boneless, skinless, sliced)

- 2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

1. Place the mango, watermelon, cucumber, and chicken in a medium bowl; toss gently to blend.

2. Top with mint leaves and enjoy!

This recipe makes 1 serving.

Sometimes what we want feels so far away...like we will never get there.

I know that I was in the best shape of my life before my 4th pregnancy. That pregnancy took A LOT out of me...and I don’t think I’ll ever be back where I was.

The left photo is a few months after my 4th baby. Right photo is a couple weeks ago.

Here’s the thing I’ve come to realize though...focusing on going back will drive you crazy!!! Instead, focus on moving forward, being the best version of you that you can be

I know that the me NOW is way stronger than the me then...and Mama hear me—the scale doesn’t define you, numbers don’t rate your self worth, and swimsuits are made for wearing.

I love helping other women believe in themselves, be confident in their own skin (again or for the first time), and know that they’re THE best mama to their babies. Taking time to care for themselves isn’t selfish...it’s essential and totally helps make them feel better too!

When you feel better, you’re nicer...and when you’re nicer, things tend to run more smoothly

Family Fun Calendar:

New for this month: Cookies & Creamy!

Judging by the name, you might think we put cookies in your favorite shake — but it only tastes like it!

Cookies & Creamy Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology is still the whole-food-based shake you know and love.

Like every flavor in the Shakeology family, it’s meticulously crafted with powerful nutrients to help you eat better, feel better, and live better.*

So if there are no cookies (or cream) in Cookies & Creamy Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology, how exactly did we create this dessert-inspired flavor?

We got a little creative.

Our flavor and formula gurus combined notes of vanilla with hints of decadent cocoa.

The result is a creamy, vegan, and gluten-free shake with a delicious cookie taste — plus 16g of protein, 250mg of omega-3 from ALA, 6g of fiber, 2 billion CFUs Bacillus coagulans, supergreens, superfruits, and adaptogens!

Set your calendar reminders—Cookies & Creamy Plant-Based Vegan Shakeology launches June 22, 2021.

It’s eligible for a monthly subscription and one-time purchase and is available in both a 30-day bag and 24-packet cartons.

Coming in July:

Amoila Cesar has cracked the code training professional athletes to get the most out of their workouts without jeopardizing their game-time performance.

His secret? Don’t overtrain. It’s the model for his revolutionary new program: 645.

645 combines strength training, cardio, and mobility work using functional, powerful moves that will target your entire body, and still leave you feeling invigorated, energized, and ready for anything.

For 4 days a week, you’ll focus on strength training, power, and hypertrophy, switching from heavier weights with low reps to lighter weights with higher reps. Each workout has 7 moves that will keep you fired up and engaged.

Wednesday is Mobility & Stability, with an emphasis on efficient activation, stretching, and movement. You’ll feel refreshed and ready to get back to the next day’s workout.

Saturday is Cardio 45, a high-energy cardio session that will build multidirectional speed and agility to get your heart pumping and calories burning.

Sunday is your day. Use it to meal prep, relax, and reframe your mind for the week ahead.

In each of the first 3 stages, you’ll gradually change up your reps and weights as you progress to more challenging moves.

On the 4th week of each stage, you’ll decrease the number of sets to limit the volume of work and enhance recovery before the next stage begins.

Remember, the goal is to work your muscles without overtraining them.

Week 13 is your Performance Stage, where you’ll do your final push to finish strong.

Commit to Amoila for 13 weeks, and he’ll help you build a legit fit body without feeling constantly sore and spent.
