#BodyTransformation

It's Time to LOVE YOURSELF

✋STOP and DO THIS NOW✋ STEP 1) Look in the mirror. STEP 2) DO NOT say a single negative word about what you see. STEP 3) Tell yourself five things that make you beautiful JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! 👇ARE YOU IN? #lovetheskinyouarein Before we can ever change our bodies (you don’t need to change by the way), we have to love the body we have now. If you don’t love your "before," you’ll never love your "after." Guess what? It’s going to be hard. Loving yourself - it’s a difficu

Do At-Home Workout Programs Really Work...?

I'd say so, but if you don't believe me then check out this message I got from one of my online fitness participants yesterday: "I'm feeling great! I really been paying attention to my energy levels as I've always taken some sort of supplement due to lack of energy and haven't had anything for about 11 days now. I've been amazed at how much better my overall mood is and how steady my energy level is. Yesterday I did my Beachbody workout, got on the treadmill for 30 minutes, a

The All or Nothing Mentality: Throw It in the Trash

I was having dinner with a few friends in NYC last week and they asked me how I stuck to my program even with social engagements, dinners out, and the rest of the typical life stuff. The thing is that I don't stick to the program during those times. If I'm out with friends or at a BBQ, you'd probably look at me and hate me because I'm happily stuffing my face without a care in the world. Even when I did the first round of the 21 Day Fix, I had two social events where I splurg

56 Days!!!

56. DAYS. I know, I know, since you cannot see @brandyleedunn's head, some of you aren't going to believe this transformation. But it's true, I've seen her killing it in my group each day! It's also true that she is a mom. And, that she had been following the nutrition program daily even when she would rather eat French fries. And, that she has been working out each day from home even when she doesn't really want to. In putting in the effort and hard work, she's down over 20l

YOU Are Capable of Reaching this Goal!

I’m being totally honest when I say that I NEVER thought I’d be posting a picture of myself in a sports bra flexing in front of a mirror. A year ago I probably would have punched you in the face if you told me I’d be partaking in #flexfriday. This was never on my “to-do” list. Having this type of body was never on my “to-do” list either. I didn’t believe that I was capable of achieving this type of physique, but with a lot of self discipline, a change in mindset, and hard wor

"Don't Forget to Fall in Love with Yourself First"

"Don't forget to fall in love with yourself first." - Carrie Bradshaw I saw this quote today and it really struck me. After being in the best shape of my life for my bikini competition on December 3rd, it's a good thing that I fell in love with myself BEFORE ever deciding to compete. Six years ago, I contemplated doing a bikini competition IN ORDER to fall in love with myself, and if I had done a competition then I'd be a mental mess right now because my body doesn't look lik

*1,856 Lives Changed in 2015*

WOW. I'm humbled, honored, and speechless as I sit back to take this all in. When I decided to change my health last year, I never thought that it would create a ripple effect that would help THOUSANDS (goosebumps!) of other people. Thank God for this incredible opportunity. I founded my team, The Juvo Empire, a little over a year ago. Juvo is Latin for servant, helper, or someone who gratifies and pleases others. I wanted to keep this mission at the forefront of my busin

Love Yourself Before AND After

Am I the only person that can look at pictures from years ago and remember exactly how I felt about my body in that moment of time? I do this with so many pictures. I look at them and can remember if I felt pretty, uncomfortable, chunky, thin, or just "blah." The picture on the left is from Fake Patty’s Day 2007. I was at my heaviest. I remember being incredibly uncomfortable and insecure with my body that day. I tried layering on multiple tight undershirts to see if that’d m

How My Life Has Changed The Past 23 Weeks

AHHHH, I'M CRAZY EXCITED TO SHARE THIS NEWS!! Next week, I'll be flown to LA to be part of The 21 Day Fix infomercial!! Are you kidding me?! I'm just a girl from Kansas, how is this even happening to me?!?! I posted this picture on Instagram 23 weeks ago. This was literally the moment I opened my Beachbody box. If I only knew then where it would take me and how it would change my health and life!! Crazy. Overwhelmed. Thankful. I'm so incredibly humbled and honored to be part

"I Look Fat."

"There is nothing as powerful as a change in mind... if you don't change your mind the same experience will perpetuate itself over and over again because everything outwardly changed, but nothing inwardly changed." - Unknown This video explains the mental transformation that I've experienced this past year with my fitness journey. The quote above really sums it up. Love yourself - before and after. Xoxo, Ruth #LoveYourself #SelfLove #BodyTransformation #BodyImage #Dieting #We

A Monumental Success Story

It's funny when someone comes into your life with the belief that you are going to help them, but in the end it's actually that person that helps you. That's exactly what this Challenger did for me. This individual participated in one of my first challenge groups. At the time I was a new coach and I didn't even realize the impact that Coaches could have on their Challengers. Lucky for me, this individual helped me realize how big of a role that we could play in the lives of o
