Workout at Home!

The most common excuse I hear when I ask people why they don't workout is "I don't have time". Well we are all busy and on a time crunch, but let me ask you this..do you have 20-30min? This workout can be done at home in only 20min and you don't even need equipment. Stop with the excuses and make exercise a priority. You will find yourself feeling stronger & more energized! Trust me, it's worth your time!

A letter to my 10 year old self...

Dear Brittany, 

I know that life seems hard right now. I wish I could tell you it's going to get easier.

But honestly, it's never going to be easy. There are always going to be cruel people in the world trying to bring you down. You think that if you are beautiful and skinny that people will love you, but they will only hate you worse because of jealousy. I know, I know... It doesn't make any sense. But it's life. 

You have a lot of struggles ahead. What you are going through now is hard, but it's preparing you for what's to come. 

God gave you a very big and tender heart. It is one of your most precious gifts, although at times you will feel like its a curse. Hold onto that gift tightly no matter how much it hurts sometimes. Always love people, even if they don't love in return. Your reward in the end for being a good person far outweighs anything anyone can give you. 

The bullying you are dealing with now is going to cause a lot of insecurities and self doubt, but you will overcome it. Stay strong. You have something inside of you that is great and you have a bright future ahead. Dream big and never give up! Fight for what you want and never lose faith that God has an amazing plan for your life. 

When you do become successful, stay humble. Never forget where you came from and always remember the girl that you see in the mirror now. 

Lastly, share your successes with the people who love you, and make sure they know how much they are appreciated. You've got some unbelievable people in your life who will always be there and more to come. You have so much to look forward to. Keep your head up and your heart strong. 

Love, 

Your future self
