Getting Excited!!!!
Why is that???
Because in a week I will be heading to Vegas baby with all my upline Beachbody Coaches to enjoy the biggest Beachbody event :Summit!!! Woot Woot!!! This event is going to be so crazy and I cannot wait for my photo shoot with Carl Daikeler....yeah that's right....the C.E.O. of Beachbody!!!! I have a feeling I am going to have a perma grin that day!!! I also really hope I can get some photo shoots with the celebrity trainers like Shaun T, Tony Horton, and Leandro!!!! Oh my!!!!
Now I just need to figure out what all to bring...is it OK to pack my entire closet??? LOL, just kidding but not really!!!! Ha ha!!! I love Vegas and staying at the MGM grand....oh yeah it is on!!!! I also am really going to push myself to the Max for the next week to make sure I am bikini ready!!! LOL, I am going to be surrounded by Beachbody coaches....have to be able to blend in and look good with all of them!!!! So workouts are going to be doubled it seems!!!! But it will be worth it....Bring the Pain baby!!! LOL....then to get my hair done somehow (suggestions appreciated because I really have no idea's), my nails, and hoping to get somewhat of a tan before I go so I don't become a lobster while I am there!!! It has happened before....I burn so easy and it is so hard for this Indian to get a tan! Yeah, you heard me, I am and claim to be Native American even though I am the whitest one out there!!! LOL.... Even my white mother can tan better than me....but I am not jealous....much!!!! LOL
Okay enough ranting and raving about my upcoming excited event that I am going to!!!! Woot Woot.... I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!

Dreams
Have you ever dreamed? Well of course you have! It was probably when you were a child but everyone has dreamed once in their life! The problem is most people forget TO dream or forget about their dreams!!!! We are taught to exist, not to REALLY LIVE!!!!!
So my question to everyone out there: WHO has physically created their dream? Whether in a Dream Board, or just pictures and sayings around the house, to remind you of your dream???? Who wants to REALLY LIVE their dream????
I do!!! I do!!!! I REALLY DO!!!!!
So I want everyone to physically create that dream!!!!!

Positive Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement!!!!
Today is all about positive reinforcement!!!! I understand that people can get sidetracked, distracted, discouraged, and/or just procrastinate! That is life, it happens, we have bad days as well as good days! The important factor is to "NOT" beat yourself up for those bad days!!!!
Give yourself compliments for all you have accomplished! Positive reinforcement!!!!! Another great thing that helps you to get over the bad days is to surround yourself with other people who are positive, encouraging, and supportive. That is one thing I really appreciate about my Team Beachbody family of coaches!!! We are not all perfect but we are there for each other!!!! Even on those bad days I know that someone else will say, post, or offer some kind of encouragement for the day that will help me to get over the bad day, breathe, and move on!
Even a simple smile, just a smile, can you make you feel so much better! So look at yourself in the mirror and smile!!!! Offer a smile to someone else and THINK positive!!!!! Things could be bad, they could even get worse, but choose to be proactive and make the best of everything that life throws at you or has to offer you!!!!! When you are positive.....even a rainy day will show you a rainbow in the end!!!!!

A New Blogger
Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging!
I am not one to blog usually but I have decided that this is a great resource that I should utilize to reach out and help more people. Help more people to do what, you might ask, well the answer is to BELIEVE again! Believe in yourself!!!
In today's society there are way to many distractions, negative perceptions, and falsehoods that people fall for and start thinking of as the truth. {Some people start to doubt themselves or what they really can do} How would I know, because I was one of those people!
I use to weigh (use to *key words*) 220 pounds, I was unhealthy and pre-diabetic. I always "thought" (another *key* word) that I was the biggest girl on the block and that I always would be so I better get use to it. After all it's genetics right. Most people in my family are bigger so it just meant that I would always be to. It seemed no matter what I tried (dancing, exercising, dieting programs) that nothing worked for me, so it had to be genetics, right???? I could not be doing everything wrong, could I????
Well, the answer to that was, YES!!!!! I WAS doing everything wrong. No matter what dieting is a crash course for the body and as soon as the diet stops, guess what, there is the weight again!!! I can also exercise all I want but if I eat like junk, then guess what, I am going to look like I have junk in my trunk no matter how many squats I do!!!!
So what should I do?????
Well, the answer to that question was simple (though I did not think so at the time)! I had to make a LIFESTYLE change!!!! Was it going to be hard to do? YES! Did I have any clue what I really should be doing? NO! Would it be worth it in the end? HELL YES!!!!
Decision Made: Now what?????
Everyone I talked to told me to diet & exercise but I tried several of those so called "diets" and had little to no success. So I decided I was on my own. I started counting calories (My Fitness Pal is my ultimate tool now). This way I could still eat what I enjoyed (for now) and slowly start decreasing my calories! Guess what???? It started to work!!!! I started losing weight. I then added in my exercises and stretches that my physical therapist gave me (because yes I have had 2 back surgeries, and yes I know, I am only 29 years old) and guess what this started to help me lose weight as well as counting my calories!!!! Did this happen overnight? NO! Was it a fast process? NO! Was it worth it? HELL YES!!!!!
Because now I have motivation and determination! I want to do more!!!! So everyone I talk to starts saying " P90X, Insanity, etc...etc.... you have to do those programs if you want to lose weight" and I am still a big girl with a big girl mentality.... My thoughts exactly: Why are they trying to kill me????? Seriously, I am just starting to exercise, I do not want to have a heart attack on my first day of doing an actual exercise program!!!! Do my friends really hate me that much???? (LOL, just kidding you guys, I know you don't) But my mentality, my belief in myself was not there, so I did not think I could do those programs!
Then I had an old friend contact me! She told me about Beachbody and listened to my concerns about the INSANE programs! LOL She understood that I needed something simpler that would keep me motivated not make me feel defeated, again!!!! She told me to try a different program! Brazil Butt Lift with Shakeology!!!! So I did!!! The results that I got from that program amazed and dumbfounded me!!!! I could not believe that I had done, what I had done!!!! I had lost over 40 more pounds and over 20 inches off my body!!!! I had officially lost 70 pounds!!!! 70 pounds!!!!! WHAT???? REALLY???? YES!!!!
BELIEVE THAT!!!!!!
Now not only do I have motivation, determination, and a strong will to help others!!! But I also BELIEVE in myself again! Now I know I can do whatever I set my mind to!!!!
Do you believe in yourself????? If not, then that needs to change!!!! And I want to help you make that change because guess what I BELIEVE that you can do whatever you want to do!!!!
