Faith Journey with Abraham



If you know anything about Matt and I, it would probably be that we don't necessarily do anything "normal," for God did not call us to be normal, but extraordinarily faithful! Bold & faithful!

In the last 8 years, we have moved 8 times! 8 TIMES PEOPLE! 

And most people would be quick to make the statements....."are you crazy?.... why?...... and what are you running from?" In fact, I said the same thing to myself.

Well, the answers to those questions are: YES... we are crazy, but crazy for Jesus...
 Because we never want to be disobedient to the things that Christ is telling us to do; and lastly, we aren't running FROM anything, but I think of it as running TOWARDS Him. 

The past 8 years that Matt and I have been married, God has done a HUGE work in our lives.

See, you never realize what baggage someone brings into the marriage until they are in it .  We all have junk from our past, whether negative or positive, & if allowed, can drive a wedge between the one's you love.  

With that said, God has taken us on a journey that has shaped us and developed us like never before, and that journey is called "Faith."

I thought I had "faith,"... but this is a totally different kind that I wasn't ready for.

God speaks to people differently.  

It may be through a vision, a dream, audibly, etc...but when God speaks to us, it's in a specific way and at a specific time of night.  

In the summer of 2011, I had yet another melt down. I was so tired of not being able to get pregnant and keep the baby. All my friends around me were pregnant and here I was pretending I was ok, when really I did not understand what was wrong with me. 

Then our first experience with "faith" happened. 

This experience was after having gone through 3 miscarriages. God gave Matt a word, through scripture, that we would have a child, not just a child, but that we would have a son.  

That was on October 27, 2011. 

The Scripture God used was Jesus spoke to Matt through was 2 Kings 4:17, "about this time next year you will embrace a son."  Matt told me he believed that with his entire heart...   But I was not convinced.

 It wasn't until January 6, 2012, God woke me up at around 3:40 am with an unction to take a pregnancy test... 

As I sat there waiting for the results, with my eyes closed as tight as I could get them, I begged God not to let me go through another year not being able to have a baby. And if he did allow me to be pregnant, that he would PLEASE allow me to keep it. 

When I opened my eye (and yes, I peeked with one eye, lol) I couldn't believe it, so I ran in and woke Matt up to tell him that WE WERE PREGNANT!!  We laughed really hard & then cried, and then praised Jesus! 

We were finally going to have a baby.  It seemed like time stood still waiting for the day that we would finally get to see what we were having.  

I just knew that we were having a girl!  Matt said, "No Jess, God told us that we were having a son!" But I just KNEW it was a girl!!

As they were doing the ultrasound, in my head I thought... God, if this is really a boy, then I'm in awe of the faith Matt had in believing You would do this... and I want that kind of faith. 

Matt acted in faith and believed in what God had told him... and you know what we saw??? Something between that baby's legs!!! It was A BOY. 

Kyson Gabriel Laughter was born 9/16/12..."about this time next year."

The second experience came just a couple of months ago when we felt it was time for us to sell our house. 

I DID NOT want to sell our house.  It was a dream home to me....It wasn't just our house, but Kyson's house. It was everything I had wanted & I was completely content there. 

Then again, God woke Matt up at 3:40 am and told him, "Go and don't look back." He asked God, "where are we going?"  God said, "don't worry about it, just go." 

God spoke to Matt through Genesis 19 that morning, and while Matt was away praying, God spoke to me too.  He told me that I needed to "live by faith and not by sight."... which is SO MUCH easier said than done and NOT something that I wanted to try.

We both knew that God was speaking though, so we put our house on the market.  Five hours of it being on the market, 3 people wanted to see the house.  Within 6 days... IT SOLD!! 

Faith.... & then obeying.

Now for the ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE!  The stepping out of the boat experience.  

3 weeks ago, God woke Matt up again.  He woke up and said, that if it was 3:40, he knew God had something to tell him. 

Matt had been awake for a few minutes before he looked at his phone, but when he looked at his phone, it showed 3:44 am.  

He immediately started crying and told me to pray.  God pointed him to a book by Mark Batterson called "Circle maker." He told Matt to read chapter 20.  The verse of the Chapter was Hebrews 11:8, 

"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going."

The chapter talked about stepping out in faith and doing something that you may not be ready to do, stating you will NEVER be ready, but God doesn't call the qualified, but qualifies the called.  

Faith without action is not faith at all. "You may need to quit your job, make a move, etc..." In that moment, God said, "Matt quit your job." 

When Matt came in and told me what God told him, we both knew it was time.  

Yes, we were scared, but we were more scared of being disobedient.  

Matt's words to me, "I will not and cannot be disobedient to God! How will I ever expect my boys to be faithful to God if I am not willing to leave that legacy for them and step out in faith?...I don't know what we are doing, where we are going, and yes, we have a baby on the way, but God has spoken."  

3 weeks ago, Matt quit his job, and was obedient to what he knew God was telling him and us to do.  We have NO IDEA what is next, but we pray God shows us soon.  It's a crazy ride, but I wouldn't trade this crazy, uncomfortable ride for any other COMFORTABLE kind of life :)

39 week pregnant update


These 2 pregnancies have been different in a lot of ways. 

First of all... the girl on the left never got sick while pregnant. I felt great the entire time and worked out until the 3rd trimester. 

I did, however, eat whatever I wanted to make sure that I didn't DIDN'T get sick. (I have a phobia of throwing up, lol)

PROBABLY the reason I gained 60 lbs!

I was also coaching middle school cheerleading up until the day I delivered. So, being outside (in the heat of the summer) I would come home so swollen that my feet felt like I was walking around in casts. 

I was a constantly a water buffalo. 

Fast forward to this pregnancy...I said I was going to do it WAY different. 

I thought I would workout up until the day I delivered. 

I thought I'd eat fruit and veggies the entire time and be this perfect looking pregnant girl who wore skinny jeans & makeup everyday. 

Boy, was I mistaken. 

From the day I found out I was pregnant, I was sick. 

I ate an entire box of mashed potatoes one night and thought... this is NOT starting off like I had wanted. 

Once the first trimester was over, I had gained 10 lbs, which was WAY more than you should during that time. 

I continued working out, and decided I wanted to try Brazil Butt Lift. 

Well, at this point my belly was bigger than normal, and I thought using 5 lb weights on each leg was me just being super woman.

Well....

While doing one of leg lifts, I pulled something. 

I felt it, but decided to keep going because I thought I had just lifted my leg too fast. 

 Mistake. 

1 week later I could not stand on it without falling to the ground. Trying to put pressure on it just to put my pants on sent me into tears. 

I couldn't get out of the car without practically falling to the ground and I had to crawl around the house if I wanted to get anywhere fast. 

So- the plan of me getting back into my skinny jeans anytime soon had gone to crap. 

The ONLY thing I did differently this time that I did NOT do my first pregnancy was drink Shakeology.

It completely fueled my body and gave me energy that I did not have the first go round.

It gave me all the vitamins I needed, and I knew it was safe for me and baby (after getting the OK from my doc.)

I own a business, and I have a 1 year old, and I have a house to maintain, and a husband.

Propping my feet up and letting these 10 months of pregnancy just slowly go by was not an option. 

So shakeology was my lifesaver. 

I decided to drink vanilla, because of the low amount of vitamin A, and when I didn't feel like vanilla, I added 100% cocoa & made it chocolate. :)

Despite not being able to workout, I haven't gained as much weight, and I owe that to my nutrition this time. 

Who cares if you can't work out. But eating healthy is a game changer between feeling tired and lousy all the time and feeling like you can still conquer the world.. which is how I feel today at 39 1/2 weeks pregnant! 

If Shakeology is something that you want to try, even for just 30 days (because there is a bottom of the bag guarantee) then contact me through email (jess.laughter06@gmail.com). I can get you low cost on shipping and what in the world do you have to lose? 








Clean Chocolate Chip Brownie Muffins

I don't know about you, but I have tried so many pinterest "healthy recipes" that have been an epic fail. 

Like, not even edible tasting. And you KNOW it's bad when my husband says... "how bout not make that again." 

A coach of mine, Melissa, told me she was going to come over and bring some "healthy" chocolate muffins. I just knew it was probably something I'd already made and would taste "healthy" too. 

But I was completely wrong. These are some of the best healthy muffins I've ever had. 

No flour.
No oils. 
No artificial sweeteners. 
No butter. 

Better yet, I'm ok with my 2 year old eating these. 


Makes 12 muffins.
Nutrition: Estimated 75 calories per muffin. 

Ingredients:

2 small-medium bananas
1 egg
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (plus a few more to add on top)

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, into a blender. YES a blender. 

It should look like this!

(tip: put the egg in first so that the liquid can help it blend more easily. The batter will be thick.)



2. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.

3. Scoop liner into paper-lined muffin tins about 2/3 full.

4. Press about 3-5 additional chocolate chips on top.

5. Bake at 400 for about 10 minutes or until toothpick comes clean when you pull it out.

6. Allow to cool briefly before serving but still want to serve warm. Be careful! Chocolate chips will be HOT!

Meal Plan

One of the HARDEST things about living a healthy lifestyle is finding the right meal plan. 

Do you count calories? How many times do you eat a day? What can I eat? How much of this food can I have?

It's all SO confusing. 

It wasn't until the 21DayFIX came out that I actually ENJOYED figuring out what to eat each week. Let me show you how I figured out HOW much I can eat and then I'll show you WHAT I eat. 

It's easy peasy. 

So, the 21DayFix comes with 7 containers. Each container is a different size and the point is PORTION CONTROL. 

For instance, I look at how many RED containers I can have a day. And I spread them out throughout my day. 

I pack my protein into that container... and if it fits I can eat it! I'm not having to weigh my food or check the oz. I simply put the meat in there until it's full and then I usually put it into a different Tupperware for the day so I'm not using these. 


This picture below shows you HOW I find out how many containers I can have a day. There is a little equation you do to figure out which bracket you are to be in. I'm in the 1,200-1,499 bracket so I follow the containers in the FIRST column. 

Each of the colors are a certain food. SO for instance I can have:
3 Green: vegetables
2 Purple: fruit
4 Red: protein
2 Yellow: Carbs
1 Blue: Healthy Fat
1 Orange: seeds
TBS: oils

This makes it a no brainer. I mean.. you can't mess this up. AND you do not get deprived of sweets. 3x a week you can have chocolate chips and they teach you how to make Shakeology bars... a STAPLE in my house. <--- talk about a grab-and-go snack, which Kyson can have too!! :) Oh.. and you can also have WINE. 

Plus, one red container can be replaced with a Shakeology shake, which came with my 21DayFix challenge pack.  Not gonna lie... sometimes I have 2 shakes a day. NBD though :) 



So here are the examples of what you can put into each container. So many options for each color and you PICK what you WANT. 


Below is an example of a dinner I had. This is 1 Red container, 1 Green Container and 1 yellow container. 




(recipe from http://www.geniabeme.com/2014/03/21-day-fix-broccoli-and-cheese-stuffed-chicken-recipe.html)

1 Chicken Breast (this counted as 2 red containers for me)
Cheddar Cheese (1 blue)
Frozen Broccoli (1 green)
Salt
Pepper
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Paprika
Preheat oven to 350'.
I took a chicken breast and butterflied it. I placed saran wrap on top of it and started to hit it with a mallet to get the chicken thinner and the same width all over for even cooking. Once I did that, I put all the seasonings I wanted. Then I added a layer of cheese and then a layer of broccoli. Not too much or you won't be able to roll it up. 
Once its rolled up, I turn it upside down so the part where the chicken ended wouldn’t open up. I then put more seasoning on the top. If you are using an oven, I would also rub olive oil all over this at this point too.
Put in oven for 25-35 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Take it out and add a little more cheese on top and then melt it. This is delicious!
Here is another idea of a healthy lunch you can have! 

              Whole Wheat Pasta = 2 Yellow Tomatoes with spices = 1 Green Pepper Jack Cheese = 1 Blue


So for this time around I went to costco and bought:
10 lb bag of boneless skinless chicken
Ground Turkey
Broccoli
Spinach
Mixed veggies
Eggs
Bananas
Grapes
Cantaloupe
Cashews
Chocolate chips
Brown Rice
Matt and I chose 2-3 things from each color container to eat for the month. We spent ONLY $159.00 (that included snacks for our son) total for this month!! That is the benefit in buying in bulk. You get WAY more for your money! PLUS, if you ONLY get what you need to set yourself up for SUCCESS... you will!!!!! 
Here is an example of a 21DayFIX meal I found that I will use for next time!

Here’s a tip from Autumn Calabrese, the creator of the 21 Day Fix. VERY IMPORTANT!!
“I received this email today, I’m not sharing the person but I am sharing the story. She is discouraged because after losing 5lbs the first week she has started to gain weight jn week two. She sent a sample of her food for yesterday. Even in the lowest calorie bracket she missed 2 green containers, 2 red containers and an orange. You CANT modify the program on your own and expect results. I’ve done all the work for you all you have to do is follow it. If you don’t eat enough your body will hold on to everything you give it and you won’t lose weight. Sometimes you will even gain. Follow the program to a T and I promise you will see results.
Lastly, I wanted to leave you with a little motivation. This is Rachel, and her 21DayFIX results. It's so easy to not eat clean... but when you do... AMAZING things can happen.


When YOU are ready, I'm ready to help you reach YOUR highest potential. I can't do this for you. You have to make the decision that you are going to start this and COMPLETE it. Don't think you are too far gone or it's too late to start. If you keep waiting... you will NEVER know what you are capable of. Plus... it's only 21 days ;)

I'm DEDICATED to your SUCCESS.

I'm hoping you end up different



Hello 2nd Trimester...

This pregnancy has been VERY different from the first in many ways. 

First of all, I was SICK from the beginning. First trimester was a monster to me. Never experienced that with Kyson, but it was FAR from enjoyable. 

I went from working out every day to starting my workout, going to get sick... then laying on the couch the rest of the day trying not to move so I wouldn't get sick again. 

I swore it was a girl. 

We came up with girl names, girl room ideas, even decided how we were planning on rearranging rooms so we could have a co-ed play room. 

Then at 19 weeks.... we saw something that did NOT look like a girl. 

SHOCKED was the word... but as Matt jumped up and down in the ultrasound, room pointing to how we knew it was a boy, and trying to explain why he was acting so crazy to Kyson, tears ran down my face as secretly... I loved being a boy mom. And I wanted to stay one. 

I grew up with sisters so there was ALWAYS drama in my house. And even though I graduated from HS 10 years ago and left right away for college, those days of boys breaking our hearts, girls backstabbing, and my feelings always getting hurt still hit WAY too close to home. I don't think I was ready to replay that just yet. 

Deep down I wanted to continue playing in the dirt with the boys. I wanted to go fishing and teach them how to shoot a gun. 

But it took us 5 years to get pregnant. And even though I told God "I don't care what we have... I just want to be a mom"..... SO MANY TIMES... deep down my dream was to have just 1 more boy. And there it was. I got my dream. So far all boys. 

A miracle from God. Period. 

So let's recap 1st trimester. 

I immediately gained 15 lbs. Went from 115 to 130 in a matter of seconds (I felt like). 

I couldn't keep anything down, but when I could my dinner consisted of mashed potatoes and bread. Literally. Even my favorite Shakeology I couldn't stomach. 

I worked out 3 days a week consistently though. No matter what- even if I was working through a naceous feeling but always listened to my body if it said stop. 

Then came trimester 2 :) 

So I finally got my act together. My sickness went away and I felt human again. BUT, I had to slow way down with my out of control eating. 

So, I started 21Day Fix, and immediately I lost 2 lbs in 1 day. 

Now, I wasn't trying to lose weight. BUT, I went from eating crap to eating lean meats and veggies.. so that's what will happen to you. 




21DayFIX<--- It's 30 minute workouts, BUT it's based off of fitting what you can eat into a container (they provide). If it doesn't fit, you can't eat it... if it does.. you can :) SO SO SO simple and I LOVED being told WHAT to do and WHAT to eat. 

Believe me--->you can literally JUST change what you are eating and you will see a difference... just try it.   

I started doing the 21DayFIX workouts. And on the days they did Pilates and yoga (which I'm not doing) I did Body Beast arms. 

I had noticed I'd lost some strength in the first trimester, where I wasn't working out as much. So the workouts were HARD for me. I had to press pause way more than usual and really make sure my heart rate was always between 140-150 (heart rate monitor is a life saver!)

Since day 1 of my second semester I haven't stopped working out. 

BUT everything I'm doing, I was doing before. (not safe to start anything new). 

My plan for the next few weeks is this... 

I am going to finish up 21 Day Fix. 
Then I'm moving on to T25 in May (starting an online challenge group with some people like you!) using the modification for some moves I can't do, while still doing Body Beast Arms 2x a week to keep my strength up. 

I am not, nor will I ever be the girl that doesn't have to work hard to stay fit. Some people have that luxury. I am not that person. 

I gained 60 lbs with my first. I was MISERABLE coming into my third trimester. I wobbled everywhere. My ankles were so swollen my shoes didn't fit. It was the dead of summer and even with a bathing suit I felt like I had too many clothes on. 

I only worked out during my 1st trimester and it was very light. Usually the elliptical a few times a week. I wasn't educated correctly on what I could still continue doing-- so I didn't do much. 

 So, I'm pushing to not gain that with this one. (I'm 5 feet tall. 60 lbs is WAY to much for my size). 

I'm wearing size 6 jeans (I was normally a 2), and I have to be VERY careful about late night eating.

If I eat bad at night I can guarantee I'm 2 lbs heavier the next morning. <--- crazy.

So instead, I go for shakeology if I feel the urge to eat something I shouldn't. It's like a milkshake for me anyway and has WAY more nutrition in it than Id ever be able to make on my own. 

Because I gain weight so easily, I eat very plain. 

chicken
tuna
tilapia
ground turkey
egg salad
salads
turkey bacon
LOTS of eggs with salsa 
apples with PB
cantaloupe
steamed veggies
and shakeology. 

My cheat is a hand full of dark chocolate chips 3x a week (21DayFIX approved.)

Since then, I have managed to stay the same weight for a few weeks now, which is what I was going for. 25-35 lbs is normal to gain for a pregnancy... but I'll have to CONSCIOUSLY work hard! 

Each month I host online challenge groups to help people stay motivated to workout. But honestly, it helps me JUST AS MUCH. 

Just because I'm a coach, doesn't mean I am exempt from occasionally eating ice cream or skipping a week of workouts. I am human! 

The rest of this pregnancy I'm going to post daily on my Facebook page what I'm doing so that I can hold myself accountable. I hope that it will help and inspire other moms out there......

Ones that have either just started this journey.. or need to feel like the struggles they are going through are NORMAL.

^^^ If you know anyone like that, please share this page with them! 

Until next time,
Jessica Laughter 


 







21 weeks

So what's the big deal?

For someone who has been involved in some part of fitness for my entire life, I think I have tried every single way to lose weight. 

I did competitive cheerleading for 13 years and then collegiate cheerleading for 3. 

I didn't care what I ate when I cheered all star- but everything changed when I went to college. 

I gained freshman 15 in NO time, and I remember the guys on the team telling us that we needed to stop eating pizza every time we went to the "rot" (what we called our cafe). So when other people started noticing, I knew I had to do something about it.

For the first time in my life, I had to be conscious of what I put in my body. 

So I began to run, and that was my love for a very long time. I was addicted to it. Morning, noon and night I ran. 

I loved conditioning at practice when everyone else would groan. I knew my body needed it. I was not one of those that always remained skinny... I had to work for it. And all the time. 

Soon, my body started changing and I could tell it was paying off-- but it was overkill. I found myself working out and then a few hours later working out again. 

People started saying I was "addicted". And even though I'd brush off that comment, deep down I knew I was. 

Fast forward 7 years to right after I had my son. It was Sept. and cold outside- So I decided to give Insanity a go again. This time, I was going to try the meal replacement shake that I saw on all the Insanity videos called Shakeology. 

Now, if there was a protein shake, protein bar, meal replacement shake or weight loss shake... I had tried it. My husband is very into body building, so we have tried MANY of them. I can't even tell you how much money we have spent over the years trying to stay fit and see what worked.

But one thing I can tell you is that I needed help in the eating healthy department. It does NOT come easy for me. But you can workout till your blue in the face, and if you aren't eating right your hard work is all in vain. I did NOT want that. (plus I had 30 lbs of baby weight to lose).

Why I decided to give Shakeology a chance..

Now, I'm not going to name all 70 of the superfoods that are in Shakeology, nor tell you the name of every country these ingredients came from, but I will tell you what was the MOST interesting to me...

(for those that like to know the ingredients, you can find that list here.) 


  • it is a meal REPLACEMENT not a protein shake (unlike juicing or protein shakes)
  • Trained professionals searched all over the world for these NATURAL ingredients that were grown on soil that did not contain pesticides or chemicals (so 100% natural)
  • it was not made in a factory, but a lab in the US
  • they are NOT packed with sugars, which is VERY hard to find in a meal replacement (because they all try and achieve these insane flavors like peanut butter and cake batter.)
For those of you that like to see comparisons, here is a graph showing you the difference between Shakeology and other shakes...
What Shakeology has personally done for me:

Gives me more energy (seriously. I have a kid who doesn't sleep at night, so this was the FIRST thing I noticed.)
Curbs my cravings for sweets
Stopped pulling handfuls of hair out of my head when I brushed it
Gave me great looking skin (no acne)
My nails grow like weeds
It helps with digestion
It keeps me full for a LONG time
I love that I can make it quick and be on my way (very busy lifestyle for our family)
helped me lose weight!!!!!



These shakes come in 4 flavors:


chocolate (and chocolate vegan)
vanilla
Strawberry (and vegan strawberry)
greenberry

It has only 140 calories for the base mix and 16-17g of protein per serving. 

The nutritional value of food today is NOT what it was when our great grandparents were alive. Time Magazine has done study after study showing this to be true. 

What they put into the ground to make things grow faster and quicker has depreciated the value of our food. It means more money for them, but less nutritional value for us. 

But the price!?

The problem I get with most people is that they say they can't afford it. I KNOW how that is to feel strapped and trust me, before I started coaching, things were VERY TIGHT in my house too. 

But, 

for most of you, you CAN afford it. You just might have to switch some things around like we did. Even when things were "tight" for me, I still had money to buy Starbucks almost every.single.day. OR, I would go to the cafe at work and spend $7 on a salad. Or even the sad trips to the fast food chains when you are in a hurry. <--- and let's not EVEN try and compare the nutritional value to these vs. Shakeology. 

But the money that I am saving from NOT having to go to the Dr for heart disease, or diabetes, or refilling my medications all the time faaaaaaar outweighs the $4 a day I spend on drinking a shake LOADED with dense nutrition. I don't have an argument then. 

It saddens me when people want SO desperately to lose weight, but they don't change a THING about the way they eat. This is one meal you don't have to worry about. 

Just think about one thing you might be able to give up for 30 days in order to try this for yourself. I know that I gave up a FEW things to afford it (even started coaching so I could get the discount) and I will NEVER regret that decision for me and my family as long as I live. 



Will I lose weight right away? 

I love that saying, one clean meal won't make you skinny like one unhealthy meal won't make you fat. You didn't gain that weight overnight, and this shake will not help you to lose it overnight. But I noticed a HUGE different in 5 days of drinking Shakeology once a day. If you would like to try it before you buy it I do have single servings in most every flavor!

How do I make it? 

Some people can mix it with water and put it in a shaker and be on their way. Not me. I prefer making it in a blender with Almond Milk (lower calories than regular milk), PB, a banana, 8-10 ice cubes, and 1 scoop of chocolate or vanilla Shakeology. There are a bajillion recipes you can choose from! Beachbody gives you an entire calendar full of them when you order through me so you can try a new one each day. This shake, when made right, is AMAZING. I think frosty from Wendys :).

How do I order?

It's easy. 
Pick out your flavor.
Pick out bag or box (30 days comes with the bag, 24 servings comes in a box, but you can do 2 or 3 flavors in a box)
Choose Autoship. This is important, because it allows you $2 shipping instead of $13. You can cancel at ANY TIME with no hassle. 

Dedicated to your success, Jessica
