Hey! Welcome to my page! In case you came across my page by randomly..let me introduce myself…
My name is Erika Scott. At 26 years old I found myself at 264 pounds with a soon to be 8 month old…I was tired all the time, aches in my knees and back, out of breath with the smallest of tasks, no other health concerns (that I was aware of anyway). My mother had passed away a few years prior to me getting married and having my daughter. She passed away from cirrhosis of the liver due to alcoholism and I just decided I didnt want something like this happening to me. No…I was not an alcoholic….but i was an addict. I was addicted to food. I was addict to being LAZY and inactive. My mothers passing was not due to a weight issue…but in my head it was something that could have been prevented. It was something she could have had more control over….just like MY addiction… overeating. My body and what I do with it is something I DO have control over & I didnt want my bad CHOICES taking me away from my family any sooner than I was suppose to be.
So, in 2012 I began a health and fitness journey. Even though I was a huge yo-yo dieter and never really finished anything I started, I decided this time NOTHING was going to stop me from achieving my goals. I completely changed the way I thought about nutrition and fitness and in 16 months time I lost 100lbs!! During that time I also became my own boss! I began dedicating my time to helping others get healthy and fit while also building a team of other motivators, dreamers, and doers.
It’s certainly not been an easy road. Not that I have to tell you but it’s difficult balancing life!…the stress of building a business, keeping on track with my health & fitness, taking classes, and all the duties of being a a wife and mother. I struggle from time to time with feelings of inadequacies as a mom and leader, I get distracted from goals, dishes pile up, clothes don’t get put away, showers are sometimes missed. Simply put…I do not always have my stuff together!
That’s where this page comes in. I wanted a place to share my life as a stay at home mompreneur. I’m on a continued mission to better myself physically. However, that is not all you will get here. You’re gonna get ALL the crazy here (lol) Health and fitness is just a part of my life..but besides being a health and fitness coach… I am wife, a mom, coffee lover, a procrastinator, I love the IDEA of organization but in reality I’m a HOT MESS MOM, I seek GOD, I seek growth, I homeschool and have recently rediscovered my love for my first passion {photography}.
I am a mom that wants to inspire and encourage other moms to make the BEST OF THE MESS. I want to help you to live healthier, happier lives, full of passion and freedom!
You ready?! LET’S WORK TOGETHER!
