After having kids (gaining 65 pounds with Devyn and 40 with Rockwell!🤯) nothing worked to lose the weight, to build muscle or get in shape.
.
It didn’t matter how hard I worked out, how perfect I ate, how low my calories were….what worked for everyone else didn’t work for me. And I couldn’t figure it out!
.
So I ate less like every “fitness professional” was spouting, worked out harder, tried every fad diet out there and was literally KILLING MYSELF because I knew 1 + 1 should equal 2. But for some reason, my body wasn’t doing what it was supposed to do.
.
Finally, a nutritionist said to me “I’ve never had a client eat so perfectly and have such horrible results. Something in your body isn’t working right. You need to get your blood work done and hormones tested.”
.
Until then, I hadn’t even thought that there could be something broken inside my body on a chemical or cellular level! I thought there was just something wrong with “me” & that I just had to “work harder”.
.
I found out my body stopped making testosterone after my Hysterectomy (my blood test literally didn’t register Testosterone in my body at all!😳) I had metabolic resistance syndrome (insulin resistance), food sensitivities that were doing all sorts of things to my body…Plus having endometriosis and no longer having a gallbladder made things even harder for my body to function normally.

Now every time the “math” doesn’t make sense, I know  there is something off or something not working right in my body that needs to be figured out!

God created our bodies to work a certain way. So if 1 +1 is not equaling 2 for you regarding fitness or your health or how you feel or how your body is supposed to function, it SHOULD.

I’m gonna be blowing up your feed with pics, tip I’m gonna be blowing up your feed with pics, tips, info, rides, park changes and the absolute must-see’s at Universal Studios Orlando and at Walt Disney World in Orlando this week!🎉🙌🏻
.
🫶🏻Shout-out to @Getawaytoday for inviting me to come on this TIP-TRIP😉(Kim is rocking her awesome Green pants behind me👊🏻) They truly do go out of their way to give us incredible & exclusive deals throughout the year. We are seriously so lucky to have them help us save money on the most-popular family travel destinations so we can create those forever memories!
.
1️⃣Universal Studios in Hollywood, California and here in Orlando are NOT the same! Orlando is MUCH larger, has way more rides and it has a HUGE Harry Potter World that will blow your mind! There are actually only a handful of rides that are the same at both locations.
.
2️⃣Cabana Bay is the ONLY Universal Studios Hotel that has a private entrance to Volcano Bay! It also has rooms that sleep 6 on a budget! (see my saved stories called “Universal 1”)
.
3️⃣The Surfside and Dockside hotels are amazing, brand new budget hotel options that my family stayed at about 18 months ago that are a great option too! 💥AND….All Universal Hotels will let you into the park early, which is a MUST for Hagrid’s Motorbike ride and Velocicoaster!
.
4️⃣If you’ve done Harry Potter in Calfornia at Universal Hollywood, it is NOTHING compared to what Orlando has! I promise you, it is different and soooo worth it!
.
5️⃣Universal is in their “off-season” right now, which means rooms are cheaper and they have an incredible ticket offer: Buy 2 Park Tickets, Get 2 Free: TheMeleaShow.com/UniversalBuy2Get2
.
🌟And there are WAY MORE tips to share! If you missed my stories of DAY 1 at Universal Studios Orlando, Harry Potter World and Cabana Bay, it’s up on my saved stories bubble now!

.
If you want to do this gift idea this year, Target has UNO Card Games at the cheapest price right now for $3.66!👊🏻
.
🌟Head here to find them:
👉🏻TheMeleaShow.com/TargetUNO
(type that easy-to-remember URL in or click on the link on my Instagram profile page)
.
If you like this idea, keep it in mind for next year when Target does the B2G1 Boardgame deal again in November.
.
Or watch those after-Christmas sales to find deals too👍🏻

Went to the #givingmachines today to pick things t Went to the #givingmachines today to pick things to donate to those in need this holiday season! This has become a tradition now for our family and our kids always ask if we are gonna do it again.❤️
.
I think this idea is brilliant. It’s such a cool tangible way for your kids to SEE what they are giving.
.
This year, the kids picked a few things like:
.
ducks
a beehive
warm pajamas
space heater
groceries
polio vaccines 
and water purification tablets. 
But there’s a ton of options to choose from.

🌟If you want to donate too or learn more:
.
👉🏻Head to TheMeleaShow.com/GivingMachines to see the list of physical vending machine locations to donate in your area or you can donate online.
.
At our giving machines, there were multiple items in the $6-$10 range. So your donations don’t have to be a huge amount. And these items go to families all over the world in need OR in your area. You can choose a local donation card if you’d prefer that.
.
All cc processing fees and overhead costs are paid for by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. So 100% of your donation goes to those in need—which is AWESOME!🙌🏻
.
💥The giving machines are open after Christmas too until Jan 1st! So if things are too hectic before Christmas… Go sometime during Christmas break instead!
.
More on stories if you want to see how they work and the experience 👍🏻

It’s the one time of the year I have a reason to wear a sequin dress. So like last year’s pink dress I designed, I decided to design my own dress this year too!
.
It’s so hard to find modest, but still sexy, dresses for some reason. One day you guys, I’m gonna start a clothing company and sell these! Cuz I can’t be the only one that has a hard time searching for that sexy modest dress. It’s like searching for a unicorn! 🦄

.
Plus, they have a coupon code on their website right now to take even MORE money off your order total! (💥Code CHEER22 to get $10 off $40, JOY22 for $20 off $100 or HOLIDAY22 for 20% off pickup orders🙌🏻)
.
So a bunch of these gifts are actually UNDER $5!WHAT?!🤯 Don’t forget all of those $2 Stocking Stuffers too!🤩
.
This is when I would stock up for Christmas, birthday gifts, Easter, etc as well!
.
🌟TIP: I would highly recommend you order online and choose FREE IN-STORE pickup so you get items before Christmas AND so you don’t travel to multiple stores wondering if they have the items you want in-stock. It’ll save you time & money.👊🏻

.
If you want to do this gift idea this year, Target has UNO Card Games at the cheapest price right now for $3.66!👊🏻
.
🌟Head here to find them:
👉🏻TheMeleaShow.com/TargetUNO
(type that easy-to-remember URL in or click on the link on my Instagram profile page)
.
If you like this idea, keep it in mind for next year when Target does the B2G1 Boardgame deal again in November.
.
Or watch those after-Christmas sales to find deals too👍🏻

Went to the #givingmachines today to pick things t Went to the #givingmachines today to pick things to donate to those in need this holiday season! This has become a tradition now for our family and our kids always ask if we are gonna do it again.❤️
.
I think this idea is brilliant. It’s such a cool tangible way for your kids to SEE what they are giving.
.
This year, the kids picked a few things like:
.
ducks
a beehive
warm pajamas
space heater
groceries
polio vaccines 
and water purification tablets. 
But there’s a ton of options to choose from.

🌟If you want to donate too or learn more:
.
👉🏻Head to TheMeleaShow.com/GivingMachines to see the list of physical vending machine locations to donate in your area or you can donate online.
.
At our giving machines, there were multiple items in the $6-$10 range. So your donations don’t have to be a huge amount. And these items go to families all over the world in need OR in your area. You can choose a local donation card if you’d prefer that.
.
All cc processing fees and overhead costs are paid for by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. So 100% of your donation goes to those in need—which is AWESOME!🙌🏻
.
💥The giving machines are open after Christmas too until Jan 1st! So if things are too hectic before Christmas… Go sometime during Christmas break instead!
.

It’s the one time of the year I have a reason to wear a sequin dress. So like last year’s pink dress I designed, I decided to design my own dress this year too!
.
It’s so hard to find modest, but still sexy, dresses for some reason. One day you guys, I’m gonna start a clothing company and sell these! Cuz I can’t be the only one that has a hard time searching for that sexy modest dress. It’s like searching for a unicorn! 🦄

💥THIS IS HUGE!💥 Ulta has just marked down a 💥THIS IS HUGE!💥 Ulta has just marked down a TON of their Holiday Gift Sets. So everything in this video is UNDER $25 and almost all are UNDER $15.

.
So a bunch of these gifts are actually UNDER $5!WHAT?!🤯 Don’t forget all of those $2 Stocking Stuffers too!🤩
.
This is when I would stock up for Christmas, birthday gifts, Easter, etc as well!
.
🌟TIP: I would highly recommend you order online and choose FREE IN-STORE pickup so you get items before Christmas AND so you don’t travel to multiple stores wondering if they have the items you want in-stock. It’ll save you time & money.👊🏻
