Zombies are funny!

Bwah ha ha! Ever have those days where YOU KNOW you needed to stay in bed and get more sleep???? 

Well, today I am my own reason to smile because I was almost in complete zombie mode this morning! 

I literally almost put Shakeology in my coffee maker instead of my coffee grounds to start! Really NEEDED that coffee, obviously! Lol (I hope my E&E shows up soon 😜😜😜)

Then I realized that everything I had put on was either inside out or on backwards! WOW! Really??? 😫😩😩

Needless to say this has been interesting morning that at least has kept me chuckling at myself in this useless state I'm in! Lol

Please kick in soon coffee!!!! 😴💤

What Is Coaching

Who is this fitness freak, who works from home, while being a mom, a wife, and a fun loving friend?! How is she being successful from this crazy little town she lives in?

 Despite what you all must think of me I DON'T just take selfies, post workout videos, and nutrition tips for the fun of it! Although its always fun! Woot Woot! Lol

Have you ever wondered the basic ins and outs of what I actually do as a coach? Have you ever wondered if this is something you could be good at too? And have you ever wondered how much you can get paid to workout and share your fitness journey along with others? Have you ever wondered how you can make a living like I have just so you can be home with the people you love?

Well I am here to personally invite you to my teams " 5 Day Sneak Peek into Beachbody Coaching" Where we will go over...

1) How we earn money as coaches?

2) What is required as a coach?

3) What is a coach?

4) Is this a pyramid scheme?

and so much MORE!

This will be an interactive group where you can ask ANY and all questions that we don't cover so by the end of the 5 days you either know if you want in or you want out!

Learn exactly how I have made extra income from living in this crazy town of Idaho Falls, Idaho earning enough to give my family the extra support and the FUN times that we enjoy!

Learn how I lost over 90 lbs  after having my daughter, to earning this extra income and FINALLY creating a savings account for us, while being able to exercise and recover quicker than I had before, all through this AMAZING coaching opportunity!

This opportunity IS NOT for everyone but why don't you join the group and decide for yourself is this is the opportunity for you!

** FEEL FREE TO TAG YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO YOU THINK MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THIS OPPORTUNITY!

Become FREE

Sitting here, waiting for the store to open, contemplating my goals for 2016 and the main thing that keeps coming to mind is how, right now (the day after Christmas), is that I should be home with my daughter, my family that's in town visiting, spending my weekend fully wrapped in their love and presence! Enjoying every precious moment with them! 

Even more than that I want to be able to spend my time fully with them all week and weekend long on a permanent basis! My daughter is growing so quickly and I want to spend as much time with her as possible before the time comes that she goes off on her own! 

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the Home Depot and it has been one of the greatest places I have worked for and the people are amazing, funny, and the greatest, but my heart is that of an entrepreneur! I want my own business, my own hours, my time spent how I want! 

I have the means to make this dream a reality in 2016 for not only myself but for my family as well! This dream has reached a point where it needs to become reality and I am so excited for that to happen! I know that it will happen! 

So I'm looking for other women who feel this same need, this same desire, to join me in 2016 to become free to spend our time with who, and how, we want! This next week I'm offering a free coaching session to help you to become free! Just type interested below and I will add you into this session! 

It's time to become free!

Merry Christmas

Wishing all of our family, friends, and followers a very Merry Christmas!!!! 

New Yorker

Alright: serious question for all my New York friends and followers: 

What is it about me that just says, "I'm from New York!"

Lol, I'm honestly curious! Every time I travel anywhere you get people who guess where you are from and EVERYONE guesses that I'm from New York! 

Apparently I just act like a New Yorker! Lol, even though I've never been there! I honestly cannot wait to see New York, especially since I apparently belong there! Lol

#newyorknewyork #whereareyoufrom #idahoan #ibelonginabigcity

So do you?

So, do you do Christmas cards???

I've spent ALL afternoon on Christmas cards for everyone! (This is only half of the pile, lol) 

But it's the one small thing I can do for friends and family that lets them know that I'm always thinking about them and grateful for them in my life! Trust me, when I can do more than cards, I will!!! Lol 

I seriously love ALL of these amazing people in my life!!!! 

#christmascards #smalltokens #simplethings #grateful

We are worth it!

I still cannot believe the changes I see and more importantly feel from where I once was to where I am now! The physical transformation is mind blowing but the emotional transformation I think is what has shocked me the most! 

I feel incredible and even more so I actually love myself now and can not only see my worth but feel it! For someone who pretty much considered herself worthless to begin with and now to actually know my worth is priceless! 

I am so incredibly grateful to Beachbody for changing my life to a much healthier and happier one! I am so excited to continue growing and developing myself, my team, and helping as many others to actually know their worth too! You are worth it, trust me! 

I'm looking for those people who know they are worth it and are finally ready to prove it to themselves as well to join me this new year and start living a healthier and happier life! 

PM me or comment below if you are one of those people! 

#healthierandhappier #transformyourlife #transformationtuesday

Missing you!

Through all the struggles and trials we have both endured, I will always love you! Happy Birthday mom! 

I miss you everyday and wish we could still be together like we used to be! We were the best of friends! You were my confidence and kindness! I will always be grateful for all you taught me! 

I just wish it wasn't so hard learning how to live without you in my life! Until the time comes and you find yourself and your happiness again just know you will always be in my heart! 

CIZE for charity!

Hey everyone! 

I want to personally invite you, your friends, and your family to this amazing event!

I was not able to personally send out invites to everyone on my friends list because it maxed me out at 500 invites! (WOW) Lol, So please help a girl out and share this invite with everyone that you can think of! 

I would love to have you all come dance with me and support s great cause this holiday season! 

Woot Woot!

Remember Today

Remember today! It's sad that now we just let people destroy our country from inside while so many died to protect this country from outside attacks! It's time for everyone to remember that we should protect our country from foreign AND domestic attacks on it!!!! 

We use to be one of the top nations and look at how far we have fallen! It's time to bring America back!!!!! 

Today is a day that still lives in infamy for the attack that happened on Pearl Harbor! 9/11 is another devastating blow to us!!!! Now we are under attack again from inside our borders!!!! Do not think we are not! True Americans: be prepared to defend yourselves because it's clear our government will not!!!! 

To those who truly serve and protect us today, thank you! To those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this country, you will not be forgotten and you can never be thanked enough for all you have given!!!

#bringamericaback #remember #pearlharbor #thetowers #defendamericans

Holy freakin HELL!!!

Yeah, my facial expression alone should tell you how I'm feeling!!!! Lol, I freakin hurt everywhere! I did not realize how badly I have let my strength dwindle over the past year by not staying consistent! Holy freakin moly man!!!! 

Even after two months of staying consistent with my workouts and getting back on track I am still struggling and still pushing to get back to where I was!!!! I know feeling sore means I'm working on it and it's a good sore feeling but at the same time: Holy Freakin OUCHIE!!!! Lol 😫😫😫

This is why it's very important to stay consistent with your everyday actions to achieve your desired goals! It's not the goals themselves you need to focus on but the small everyday actions that you need to do consistently to reach those goals!!!! When you slack on your consistency, just remember you are slacking on what you really want!!!! Harsh maybe, but true! 

I'm realizing how much I was slacking lately and it makes me want to kick myself on top of already being sore and laugh at myself for being dumb and slacking to begin with! Lol, but that's the negative self criticism! So instead I acknowledge my mistakes, create a new roadmap, and get back onto the right road to take me where I need to go! That's the positive spin because I know I will get there I just have to stay on track and what????

Stay CONSISTENT! 😉

(BTW) my face is also scrunched up from not only the pain but this crazy drink I am trying, lol)

My Future Leader

Super Proud Mom Moment

Today was Alli's parent teacher conference and where I get to learn how well my little girl is doing and where she might be struggling at! 

It's always nice to hear other people tell you how amazing your child is! She is such a sweetie in class, helps her teacher whenever he asks, is sensitive to her classmates feelings, and is a freakin ROCKSTAR with her actual work! She always offers to help others when they get frustrated and is great in a leadership role. No wonder she was nominated for her Hawk award! 

It makes me feel like I'm actually doing something right at home, even with all the struggles like the other day, that maybe, just maybe I might actually be good at this parenting thing! Lol 

So to my little girl, my minion, and my amazing little ROCKSTAR and future leader ❤️😉❤️, I am soooo super proud of you and I love you soooooo much! You are my heart! ❤️❤️❤️

Hammer And Chisel

Do you know what today is?????? 

Not only my favorite day of the week, not only the first day of the Christmas spirit month of madness, but it's also the official RELEASE DAY of this completely AWESOME program!!!! 

I absolutely loved Body Beast, and every workout from the 21 Day Fix programs kicked my booty like crazy! Now we get the best of both programs! Autumn Calabrese and Sagi Kalev created this together and I am beyond excited to start this program next week! 

Who else is ready to have a Hammered and Chiseled body for Christmas and New Years???? I know I am!!!!! Woot Woot! 

I'm looking for 5 people who are ready to change their health and fitness status and help keep all of us accountable together!!!! Message me or comment below if that is you!!!! 

#hammerandchisel #transformyourlife #justdoit #holidayhotties

Parenting is hard work!

Keeping it real today, I haven't posted much today because it's really hard to post inspiring, motivating, or even just funny things when you feel like the worst parent and person in the world! 

Yes, I know I'm not a bad parent! I just have bad reactions sometimes and today was one of those days! I had a mommy meltdown! My patience was gone and my frustration took over! 

Once you react that's what is taken into account with all the people involved! It's so hard to have a positive reaction when you are so frustrated! Today my reaction wasn't positive at all for my daughter or myself! Hence the feeling of failure as a parent! 

But after my meltdown I broke down in front of my daughter! I'm not sure she has ever really ever seen me cry, cry! Heck, I don't think there are more than a few rare people who have ever seen me cry, But today she did! 

We both hugged each other and said we are sorry, her for her tantrum and attitude and me for yelling and losing my patience! It's typical that we both have the same attitude and patience levels! Lol, this is going to be a learning process for us both! 

Afterwards I'm sitting in my room trying to collect myself and my thoughts when she comes in and brings me this little post it note! Needless to say I started crying again, only happy tears this time! I just happened to be looking at these other two pictures of us together when she brought me this note! 

So the point of this story, we all make mistakes, we all breakdown, we all have moments of failure, but even through it all we can still come out on top, become stronger, become wiser, still somehow manage to inspire someone else, and admit when we are wrong, apologize, and work to make everything better! Simply put, we are all pretty dang amazing for what our hearts and head put us through! 

So do not be afraid to admit you make mistakes, do not be afraid to apologize, and do not be afraid to be your real self! 

Maybe my daughter needed to see the more real sensitive side to me! Maybe it will help her understand her sensitive side too! After all, she is a little version of me! And she still is my heart!

No Black Friday Fever

Awe! 

Here's to sleeping in, staying warm with a cozy fire, and drinking a holiday coffee, relaxing while shopping online this year for everything! I have to say I'm quite happy! Lol 

I've never once gotten Black Friday fever! I have no intention of ever getting Black Friday fever! Lol 

To me, I would rather be home with my family, enjoying the day together, then out trying to find a good deal on things that don't really matter to me! Don't get me wrong, I would like to have a lot of things, but it's not about those "things" it's about the smile you can give to someone else! The joy you can bring to others! To me, that's priceless! 

So I will spend this day with my family and buy things online or randomly throughout the next month without worrying over a good deal! If I am meant to get it then I will! And with the power of positive thinking it will still be an amazing deal later on anyways! 

So here's to all you beautiful people who are taking it easy today and still giving thanks for what you have! 

To all the Black Friday shoppers: good luck! Lol 

#socomfy #noblackfridayforthisgirl #contentwithoutthemadness #coffee

Would you?

It's the start of a holiday week and there are so many things, reasons, and people to be grateful for! However, I am the most grateful for the ability to work from home 90% of the time (hopefully 100% soon 😉) and be with this little girl all day! 

She is my heart, my why, and the reason that I and my husband work so hard on making our dreams come true! She is worth staying home for and being able to attend all of her events without asking someone else for permission and time off of work! She makes everything that we do worth while! 

Now tell me if you could make $500 extra a month by simply working out, eating clean 80% of the time, and posting about it on social media....would you? 

What would that extra money mean to you, your family, your goals? Would it give you more freedom to be with the people you love more or the ability to do more of the things you like to do, or to be able to finally plan that dream vacation? 

For me, it's to see her smile everyday, and yes, she's totally worth doing that and so much more for! 

#girlboss #workfromhome #stayathomemom #freedom

Don't Do it!

Not going to lie: it still hurt to get moving this morning even after ice, heat, and stretching yesterday! But I did T25 RIPT and now I feel soooo much better! I can move again! Lol However, I know sore (from working out) is good because it means I'm changing my body to be stronger! 

Today is Friday and it's the start of the weekend! Woot Woot! It's also the time where a lot of us go out with friends or on dates! Now what ends up happening is we see other people and we start what? 

COMPARING OURSELVES! 

Well I'm here to tell you don't do it! Simple as that!

Live every moment in the actual moment! Enjoy yourself this weekend! Love yourself and let that be all that matters! We are all different! We are all unique! So there really is no need to compare ourselves to anyone else because no matter what you will always be you, not this other person, and you are amazing! 

So I wish you a happy, fun, and safe weekend! Enjoy it! Enjoy you!

Never Give Up

~Long Post Alert~

There are not enough words to explain the gratitude, the blessings, the confidence, the emotions that I have undergone on this amazing journey! 

Going from the "big girl" on the block to the one that people say "you've always been little so you do not know what it's like to be big" has indeed been strange! However, I do know that feeling! I know that sinking feeling of drowning in my own self-pity, letting the depression swallow me whole, and giving up on myself! I know the tears shed for never feeling like you matter and the anger and frustration for hating yourself, your body, your emotions, and even God at times! 

I remember telling myself that nothing I ever do will make a change or matter so why even bother! I had given up on myself! 

BUT YOU WILL NOT! 

You will never give up on yourself! Why? Because I refuse to let you! I have been there and I know that change can and will happen when YOU are ready for them! So together we will make you strong enough to endure the journey of changing from Negative to Positive! We will work on achieving YOUR goals together! You are not alone! Together we can achieve anything! Like seeing you smile! Like loving yourself, your body, your emotions, and God for giving you the strength to CHOOSE to fight for yourself! 

I want you to do it, just to prove you can! I did! I proved myself wrong so many times on this journey and surpassed so many of my goals! You can do it too! 

The question is: will you? 

PM me if you are ready to find out who you really are again!

Become Extraordinary

Ok, so over the past couple of weeks I have decided to start doing things to get out of my comfort zone, because let's face it when you stay in your comfort zone things become stagnant and boring after awhile and I am soooo not a boring person, and it's been difficult and challenging for me but also really fun and rewarding! 

For instance, I LOVE dancing! I can even dance in front of people with no big concerns, however, TEACHING people to dance....... Soooooo out of my comfort zone! I do not consider myself a teacher personality but more of the preacher personality! Lol, I can dance all day long and motivate you to shake what your mamma gave you, but teaching you HOW to shake it is beyond me! Lol

So, I became CIZE Live certified so I can actually start teaching people step by step on how to dance! (Tomorrow morning btw @Super Fly Fitness 9:00 am) This has challenged me in some new ways and yes it's scary but also very rewarding! I LOVE having this opportunity to do something new, get out of my comfort zone, and see how I do! 

So today I'm going to challenge you to do one small thing to get out of your comfort zone! Please share with me what you did! If you do, I might share something else that I have been trying lately to get out of my comfort zone!

Throwback Transformation

So I decided to kind of do a throwback today to my first ever transformation video I made! Lol

This was two years ago! 

I think it might be time to update and do a new one! Lol

But I hope this one inspires some of you to take that leap of faith!

Becoming Organized

I have to say, I am enjoying my project today! Lol....  Getting some new binders created to help get and keep me organized! This one is just my precious one to hold all my CIZE Live notes, sign ups, and extras! (Yes, I said my precious... Lol)

However, this binder has influenced me to become more organized with all aspects of my Beachbody business! Who knew: when you find your passion you become more willing to spend your time creating that passion. Lol... So I'm creating a binder for my team, my clients, and my dreams and goals! 

As my business builds it becomes even more important to stay organized! What's some fun ways that help you to stay organized!

Use what you have!

Boom baby!  Welcome Beta Phase! Man, I forgot how much I love💕 Beta phase💕 of this program! My fat was really crying this morning 😭😭😭!  It was awesome! Lol 😎

Seriously though,  how many of you have a Beachbody program but have never really used it fully?

I want you to take this quote to heart today from Zig Ziglar: "It's not what you've got, it's what you use that makes a difference!"

I know so many people who say they have programs and they don't work, but let's be honest with ourselves, did you even really use them and follow them through the entire program,  even once? 

I doubt it, otherwise you would have seen and FELT results! So today, make a commitment to yourself to use your program FULLY! You invested into yourself,  you might as well make that investment work for you!  😆

#betaphase #focust25 #nailedit #investinyourself

Work for it!

Boom baby! Focus T25 Cardio in the books for the day!

One thing that I have always found fascinating with any program is how much you improve throughout the program! Cardio five weeks ago was not my strong suit but today I was almost able to make it the full 25 minutes without a break and without modifications! Believe me, when I first started I was modifying more than I would have thought!

However,  I'm getting faster and stronger everyday and working on achieving my goals again! Woot Woot!  After such great results the first time around I'm excited to see the results this time around!

So today my advice is: do not be discouraged if you are just starting!  Give yourself time, stick with your program, and you will improve throughout the program! You get what you work for not what you wish for! So stay strong!  Together we've got this!

Coach Open House

Did you know that coaching has seriously changed my life for the better?

Now I was the type of person that thought I was not coach material for anything but that was long ago and before I realized the truth! That thought doesn't even register now that I am a coach! Did you know that you are a coach too? That's the simple truth I learned! We are all coaches already in some way!

So taking the next step and becoming a Beachbody coach was not that scary anymore once I learned that! Plus the benefits I have gained from coaching are a blessing that I am incredibly grateful for! So now: I want to share the awesomeness of coaching with you! 

I am hosting a Coach Open House where you can join (for free, no strings attached) and learn more about what it is that I do! This open house STARTS TODAY!

So if you would like to know more then type below "I'm in" or message me and I will add you into the group! 😊

It has been one of the best decisions I have made! I would be selfish not to share this with you too!

#coachopenhouse #beachbodycoach #beachbodyfamily #teamwork 

Who are you inspiring?

So, it's motivation Monday, and I'm not going to lie: I needed some SERIOUS motivation today because I am so sore from Saturday!  Lol.. seriously I don't think I moved at all yesterday! So I was a little concerned about today because day 2 after a really good workout is ALWAYS worse! Lol

So when I woke up this morning I kind of panicked because yes I  was hurting even more! I was literally thinking my body needs to rest one more day before I workout! That is just an excuse though! 

Then my daughter asked me if I was going to workout because I have been every morning again! Boom! There was my motivation! My reason and my why holding me accountable to myself and to her!

So I said yes and we both went downstairs and worked out! She was with me the whole time asking if I needed water or my sweat towel and she would even join in on some of the exercises!

She is my Why! She is my heart! 💖  I am her mother and her example and I want to be the best I can be for her! So thank you Alli for keeping me motivated to stay strong and get it done! 

You never know who you are inspiring and today I realized I am inspiring her!

#mydaughterismyheart #inspiresomeone #grateful

Love Yourself

This morning I made it all about loving myself and treating myself! Lol

Every now and then we need to take time to ourselves and evaluate where we are, where we want to go, and prep for that journey!

So this morning for me was about taking that time for myself!

During that time I said several "mantras", "incantations ", or your very own personal affirmations!  This is a great way to start off everyday!  I challenge you to do this every day next week! Say your positive affirmations every morning and truly love your amazing self!

#loveyourself #positiveaffirmations #metime

The road less traveled

Two years ago I had the right idea!  I'm so happy that I decided to take this journey and to take that road less traveled.

The journey has been beautiful even with the wrong turns here and there. However,  that's what makes your journey memorable. The wrong turns, the detours, the road construction,  and the long long road ahead!

Take each turn and realize it's not wrong, it's just a part of your journey, and as long as you enjoy your journey, check your compass often, reevaluate your goals, then you will reach your destination! 

So today,  enjoy your journey!

I am still enjoying mine!

If you need help to reevaluate your goals then let me know. I'm here to help however I can!

#enjoythejourney #roadlesstraveled #beautiful

Love Yourself

So today was ab day! Lol

Now I could look at this picture and be disappointed because I'm not where I once was! But I'm not! Lol

I know I'm not where I once was but that only fuels me to keep going strong because I know I can get there again! I'm only in competition with myself!

And besides, I know I'm a Badass! Lol  😉

So instead of looking at your pictures and feeling sad, disappointed,  or depressed you should instead look at your pictures and love yourself! You are so strong! You are beautiful or handsome! You are your own amazing version of a badass!

Never forget that!

#youareabadass #loveyourself #positiveaffirmations

Let Shit Go

Well needless to say: I NEEDED my workout today!  Yesterday I learned some bad news about a topic and a person  I rarely discuss and it was clinging to me and bugging me, then I allowed myself to be dragged into pointless debates about how far our country has fallen, and let's just say other stress factors were getting to me yesterday! 

I think the only reason I didn't snap completely yesterday is because I worked out twice and was able to relieve a lot of the stress. However, the joy of a woman's mind is the simple fact that it NEVER shuts down and things constantly swirl and come back up to analyze all over again. *sigh*

But on a good note.... I got my workout done today and I'm forcing myself to get my booty to the library today for some good personal development books! I need some positive reinforcement back into my mind and personal development sure helps with that!  

Not to mention all the positive people in my life who help me to be my positive happy self! I really love and appreciate those people in my life! The rest,  need to be let go! Along with the stress and negativity that they bring!

I know I'm posting these long posts again but sometimes the mind needs to speak and social media gives us an outlet and maybe somewhere there is someone feeling the same way and this helped them to not feel so alone! So I'm speaking my mind lately! Lol

I hope this helps someone somewhere!

Creatures of Habit

So today was a very hard morning to even get out of bed let alone getup and workout. So I was literally coming up with every excuse to not workout. I mean it's Tuesday and I will just workout tonight anyways, right? So I don't need to workout now!

Then I was scrolling through Facebook and saw something Scottie Hobbs posted. "We are creatures of habit...."

Lately I have let myself fall back into some bad habits, especially with my workouts,  and I have been feeling this funk for awhile because of those bad habits. So seeing that post reminded me that I if I want to get back to "Me" and my goals that I need to create those healthy habits again!

Plus my amazing coach Megan Plaizier Gutke has helped me to realize how much better I feel once I get that workout in! And it's soooo true!!! I ALWAYS feel better after I workout! 

So I forced myself to just push play and start my workout!  25 minutes goes by fast and Boom baby I'm done with my workout! I feel better and happier now, plus accomplished. I can tackle all the items on my list now with a clear and focused conscience!  Woot Woot!

Do you FEEL soooo much better after your workout?

#noexcuses #justdoit #nomorefunk

Tough Love

Today it's about tough love!!!! To you but mostly for myself. There are days where you will not FEEL like working out, and not going to lie that is how I have felt all year long, but you know what: do it anyways!

I have been letting myself slack this year with excuses and issues that I have been personally having but it's time to push myself past those excuses and get myself back to where I want to be and back to feeling like myself!

This week I have not let myself miss a single workout even though all I wanted yesterday and today was a rest day! However, I pushed play and got it done! 

Sometimes in life you are not going to want to do something,  but if you know it's going to have a positive impact on yourself or someone else, give yourself some tough love and do it anyways! Get out of your comfort zone! Get moving! Work on yourself! Make a positive change and become a positive influence!

My goal is to work on myself so that I can be there for others who are counting on me to be at my best! 😉

What's your goals?

#toughlove #workingonmyself #justdoit

Be your own BOSS!

Last week my husband had the opportunity to walk Alli to and from school! It was a very special day for Alli! Her dad is such a hard worker and she rarely gets to see him let alone have these special moments with him! It was one of her favorite walks to school!

The point of this story is because it's my husband's and my goal to become our own boss! To work our own schedules! To not report to anyone else or have to ask for time off for these special moments!  We are Entrepreneurs!  We have our passions and we are choosing to follow them! My husband through his passion of creating knives with SCAR Blades and myself by following my passion of living a healthier happier life through Beachbody and helping others to do the same! 

Now I usually do not post much about the business side of what I do as a coach because I'm not the type of person who wants to be labeled as the "pushy salesperson"! Right?  Lol

However, I truly LOVE what I do as a coach and helping others to not only live a healthier and happier lifestyle but to also help them build a business and earn some (or a lot 😉) extra income!

I know I don't post this much but I realized,  I don't post this much and maybe you are following me and wanting to know more but afraid to ask me! So let me ease your mind: I am hosting a Coach Open House that starts Monday! This is a great way for you to learn the business side of what I do as a coach and see if this would be a great fit for you as well! Message me to reserve your spot or type "I'm in" below!

Push through the struggles moms!

You know "those" days where you wake up and you know that you should just roll over and go back to sleep?  Yeah, that's me! Lol

The problem with going back to sleep is that once I woke up, I realized I slept funny on my neck, and it hurt bad, but the instant migraine when I woke up also made it difficult to even think about going back to sleep!

On a good note though, I got up and got ready and got Alli ready for school and to school by 9 am, only to realize, it's late start Monday which means she doesn't need to be there until 10 am! *sigh*

Migraine can go away now! Lol

However, Alli is making me feel better since I'm such a silly forgetful mamma! Lol... at least I can make her smile and laugh through my struggle this morning! Lol

Mom's are amazing at pushing through their struggles for the care and happiness of their kiddos! Lol

Am I right moms? Lol

Smile

Everyday I have a goal to add value to someone,  to motivate or encourage someone,  or to help someone in some way through my social media!

This week as I have been walking my daughter to school it helps me to think about things to talk about or how I can help.

Today though I was kind of drawing a blank on how I could add value today when all of a sudden I had a great thought! 

Want to know what it was?

I could add value to someone simply by making someone smile or giggle because I wanted to be my goofy self!

So today I did have a pretty great thought again while out walking! The power behind a smile is incredible and the joy in laughter is contagious!  So I hope I made you smile or even better laugh and I really hope that you spread that smile and laughter to others today!

The Journey

Ever wonder how long of a journey you have ahead of you?  Well when it comes to your health, fitness, and happiness let's just say that the road is long and never ends!  There is always a new goal or dream out there to achieve! 

The beauty is in the journey! Looking at how far you have come, learning new roads to take,  developing yourself, and encouraging and motivating others along the way! 

Enjoy your journey!  Do not just look at how far you have to go, instead focus on the journey the beauty and fun that it holds for you! Do not be afraid to take the road less traveled.

Self Doubt

There are days where everyone struggles with their self perception. I know that I do! I know so many others that do as well. Did you know that we are always our own hardest critics? We judge ourselves more harshly than anyone else.

This is something I struggle with daily. You might not think that or realize that because I tend to show more motivation, positivity, and fun than any self-doubt or negativity!  Especially for and from myself! However, I struggle with self perception daily!

The difference is, that I try harder every day to change that negative self perception into something positive! I do daily incantations to myself! If you know Tony Robbins you know the power of incantations!  It's something I encourage you to do daily as well!

I have to tell myself that I am strong, beautiful, fun, and a leader and example to others everyday!  I have to tell myself that I am a positive person and influence!  I have to tell myself that I live myself and it's because of that self love that others love me as well! I have to tell myself that the people meant to be in my life are in my life and others are not meant to be and let go and smile!

Struggle is real.  Struggle is natural. We all face it. We all handle it in our own ways. Never think that you are the only one who struggles. We all do. The difference is in how we handle it.

I encourage you to find positive ways to handle your daily struggles, your daily self-doubt, your daily criticism of yourself!  Learn to become your biggest advocate and cheerleader!  Then help others to do the same! 

Let's focus on creating a healthier mindset,  along with a healthier, happier life!

Start Somewhere

~Transformation Tuesday ~

So I have heard several people state that they could never do what I do, that they would not have such a drastic transformation,  that they do not need to lose any weight, that these programs or Shakeology does not work, and so on and so forth.

All I can say to them is that they are right.  If you are not willing to work for it with the programs, then the programs will just sit on your shelf and not work for you. If you are not willing to drink Shakeology then your right it's not going to benefit you, if you are not ready to try and commit then it will not work because you have already made up your mind that it will not work! 

Mind Over Matter! What you believe is what you get! 

All I can say is that it worked for me! I drink Shakeology every day, I workout 5-6 times a week with a program, and I have lost 90 lbs with Beachbody! This company,  these programs,  and Shakeology have been my lifesaver with my health, fitness, and happiness!  Plus I can earn extra income and  pay it foward to help others to live healthier and happier lives as well!

So my advice today: do not compare yourself to someone else's "highlights" in his or her journey. Everyone has to start somewhere! So make up "your" mind for yourself that you are ready to start, to commit, and to be dedicated to yourself.  If you are ready to commit them I am ready to commit to you to help you reach your goals, but I can only help you if you are ready!

Yes these programs work, yes Shakeology is amazing,  and yes I am healthier and happier than I have ever been but the key takeaway is that you could be too! You just have to believe in yourself and start!

My next accountability group starts the first week of September.  Are you ready?

Mommy Timeout

There are times (multiple times if I'm honest with myself) where I fail as a parent. My little girl is just like me and knows exactly how to push my buttons. Naturally a good parent would not react first, but think through a child's behavior, but I on the other hand react first before thinking it through and logically talking out the situation with my daughter. I know I'm not the only parent who faces this struggle of reacting before thinking, but it still makes me feel like a bad parent!

When I get this feeling, after reacting and thinking and apologizing to my daughter and making her apologize to me and talking with her about things, I go to a mommy timeout!

This is where I go to think about how I can improve myself to stop reacting first. To remember my daughter is still learning. To remember she is just like me and that is not bad, but rather adorable and precious that I was granted this beautiful little mini me!

I have to remind myself that even though I failed in this situation that I am not a bad parent. I am still learning as well. I am a great mother! Just like my daughter is an amazing little girl!

This picture reminds me that my family is everything that I want and work hard for and why I work on improving myself so I can be better for them!

Wear what you want!

There was a time where I thought people who lived in their workout clothes were just lazy because I was the type of person who had to be dressed "properly" everyday with my hair and makeup done!

 

Yes, that is seriously how I use to think! Now however, I finally understand, that for.busy people, who work for themselves and are constantly on the run,  you want to be comfortable and yet still look nice!

 

On the weekends, I have to get all dressed up for work, but throughout the week, I'm my own boss, running my own business, and I can dress how I want! And I want comfort!

 

I have become one of those people I once thought were lazy! I live in my workout clothes! But it's comfortable and actually, I'm still technically dressed for my passion "job"!!! Lol... so it's a win for me!

 

Plus the workout clothes are all actually pretty dang cute so I still feel all dressed up! Lol

Do you get to wear what you want?  Set your own hours? Be your own boss?

I am incredibly grateful that I get to all week long!

A Strong Woman....part 2

Thank God that I am strong woman!

A few years ago I would never have thought that about myself! I actually thought the opposite of that!  However,  I know now that I am a strong woman!

My life is not perfect,  but I thank God that it is not! No one can be perfect and a perfect life will never exist! The struggles we face only make us stronger and wiser!

Not going to lie: yesterday was a rough day for me on several different levels that I kind of cover on Periscope, but today I know those struggles are meant to make me who I need to be!

Last night I was thankful for so many things in my life! My husband,  my daughter,  my father, and my family and close friends! Life is to short to not be happy and grateful for each and every day you have with the ones you love! 

Never take them for granted,  say "I love you" everyday to them,  and always remember all the good times!

Summit 2015

Where do I even begin?

Honestly, this was not my first Summit experience, heck it was not even my second experience, but my third, and I have to say that this Summit hit me the hardest (in all good ways, mostly)! The people I was travelling with were incredible, hilarious, and inspiring and made the trip even more fantastic. The keynote speakers were beyond incredible and it seemed like every single thing they said hit me on some personal level. The awards and celebrations again were OFF THE CHART! So now can you imagine why I have a hard time with where to begin?

The trip to Nashville consisted of myself, my coach, her husband, and one other lady. These people are the sweetest, funniest, and most caring people you will ever meet. The trip was full of laughs and shenanigans which makes travelling so much nicer because when you are driving and flying all day it can wipe you out, literally. So having people to make the trip fun and exciting is really the way to go. These amazing people totally make it worth all the travelling pitfalls that can happen.

The entire week in Nashville its also very easy to let certain things slip, your diet, your exercise, and all that jazz. I mean travelling is about vacation and relaxing, right? However, a true friend and coach will help you stay accountable even while on a business/vacation trip. We ate healthy, for the most part (ice cream was a must one night...LOL), and we exercised every single day (except me the day after our Super Workout, I took that day as my rest day). We stayed on track. I did not gain one pound while I was travelling. Not ONE! Woot Woot!

When you have the dedication, the discipline, and the support it makes things so much easier! That is one reason why I LOVE this team so much! That support is so incredible! We are there for each other and for others to help inspire, encourage, hold accountable, and motivate to live those healthier, happier, lifestyles.

The keynote speakers from Summit: Can I just say WOW! If you have not heard these people speak, then you really need to start! It's called YouTube and you can find them! The first one of course is also a Beachbody Celebrity Trainer, Chalene Johnson. She is just incredible. Not only is she health and fitness but she is also all about your relationships! Especially the most important relationship: Your spouse and your yourself! Seriously, this lady made me wish that my husband was with me on that trip because everything she said, I know, we were both feeling! She made me really appreciate my husband on so many levels and miss him the ENTIRE trip (even though I already did miss him it was like heart throbbing missing him)!

Dewitt Jones: National Geographic Photographer was also a speaker! This man has VISION! He makes you realize that you need to have that vision of the bigger picture so you do not get distracted by all the smaller daily distractions. That VISION will guide you to keep going and to never give up until you get that amazing SHOT! He takes a million pictures but it's that special ONE that just elevates your dreams and makes you realize "WHY" you are doing what you are doing.  Seriously its about Vision, Passion, Purpose, and Creativity! My all time favorite quote from him,  "I will SEE it because I BELIEVE it!"  There is always more than one right answer so do not be afraid to keep trying and learning all the amazing answers that are out there! Master your craft and Master yourself! Alright one more quote, "Take the BEST in, and GIVE it all back!"

The next speaker was Simon Sinek and he is just incredible! He draws you in, literally, he is always drawing something on a board to help you visualize what he is speaking about. When you can see it, you can comprehend it better so you will usually see him drawing on a board. He discussed goals and vision as well but he related to how much we are social animals and how we respond to our environments. Even if you come from a negative environment you can CHANGE your environment. Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people, full of trust and caring, and you will thrive! It's human nature.

Then there was the Beachbody Challenge! Oh my gravy! This really draws me in! If you did not know I entered the Beachbody Challenge and I won the monthly contest once which put me into the drawing for the final spot. I was so excited and proud to be a part of the Beachbody Challenge. I have every intention of entering it again, and again, until I am on that stage as a finalist for the Beachbody Challenge. The stories along with the people who won this year are simply incredible. It is so amazing what you can accomplish when you believe in yourself! I believe that my story, like theirs, can inspire others to live healthier, happier lives! I will be on stage for the Beachbody Challenge! Woot Woot!

Beachbody is a family! This family is incredible and has such amazing leaders, inspiring coaches, and a full fledged team of support to help us all achieve our goals! THIS is a wonderful company with such amazing goals and aspirations! I am very proud to be a part of this family! This team is what it is all about! Not only do you strive to reach your goals but you help so many other people to reach theirs! You build together! You are stronger together! So never think that you have to do this alone! You do not! We are all here for you!

So to wrap it up.....before I keep rambling about every detail from the hotel, the parties, the river dancing, and the crazy shenanigans.... Coach Summit is an EXPERIENCE that you MUST EXPERIENCE! If you could not make it this year, PLAN NOW to NOT MISS IT next year! Make it your priority! You learn and grow so much every year at Summit and you meet the most incredible people every time! If you are new to coaching this year..... EARN your ticket for FREE! Seriously! Do not miss on this amazing event! I make it a priority every year and this year....this year was beyond description! All it takes is that one time to light a fire within you.... and then you SHINE for everyone else to see!

Summit will help you to LIGHT THAT FIRE!

SHINE BRIGHT!

Until next year my extended Beachbody Family!!!!! My team.... We will ROCK it together ALWAYS!!!!! Woot Woot!!!

Three Words

Three words that really stood out to me today with my personal development: Empowerment, Encouragement, and Endurance! 

So many times in life we lose these three feelings and we stop fighting,  we stop believing, we give up!

People always ask me "Why I do what I do" and it's not because of the money, even though that is a bonus, but it's because of these three feelings right here!

The ability to feel Empowered to change people's lives! The ability to Encourage others as well as myself on a daily basis!  Finally to KNOW I can and will have the Endurance to achieve all of my personal goals as well as the goals of my team!

That's why I do what I do!  Plus it helps me with another great "E" word: Example!

I want to become the best example that I can become for my daughter, my husband,  my family,  and my friends!

So find what it takes for you to feel these three amazing words on a daily basis!  Let that Excitement (hee, hee, hee, I keep adding more "E" words) fuel you to become better for yourself and for others! 

Can I get a Woot Woot?

A Strong Woman

A Strong Woman:

 

After last week, it was a hard week for me,  I struggled with my own strength!  I viewed being strong as bad! People who are strong usually suffer the most. No one ever thinks a strong woman can fall, can break, or can become insecure!

 

It's hard for me to ask for help.  Everytime I do, it's viewed by others as weakness, or I get attacked, or I end up hurting myself even more or hurting, annoying, or frustrating other people with my insecurities, my emotions, and my problems!

 

Which only makes it harder to ask for help in the future!  I mean why would you if you keep having all the above every time? 

 

However,  the benefit of being a strong woman,  is the fact that I know every struggle will only make me that much stronger! It reveals a strength you didn't know you had. It reveals who will really help you,  who will attack you,  and who will laugh at you for falling!

 

Though the lessons can be hard sometimes, they are worth learning!  The struggles are worth enduring! The pain is only temporary and so is the darkness! 

 

The knowledge learned can never be taken from you and neither can your new found strength! 

So ladies: here's to all of your beautiful smiles through the tears, the silent struggles while helping everyone else, and the strength you will never lose! 

 

We are strong! And I have every intention of showing my daughter just how strong I am for her and our family! 

 

To those who helped me last week even if it was offering me some chocolate or just sitting silently by me while I work things out, or listening to me,  thank you! I really appreciate you! 

 

#strongwoman #nevergiveup #believeinyourself

 

Expectations

Ok seeing this, this morning and reading my personal development this really "hit" me today! 

 

How many people have felt like this?  You EXPECT so much from someone or from a group of people? Why? Because you know you would give  ALL of you to do the same!!!!

 

Anyone?

 

Well here's today's lesson: you cannot EXPECT anything from anyone else but yourself!

 

Does this mean you lower your expectations? 

 

HELL NO!!!!

 

Never lower your expectations  to meet someone elses! Instead find people who will meet yours! But even better find people who EXCEED your expectations!  Why?

 

Because it's always good to learn and grow! Finding people that exceed your expectations in a positive way will help you to develop even better expectations for yourself! 

And the process keeps continuing as you keep growing and learning and becoming the best person you can become! 

 

So today: look at the people you surround yourself with!  Are they under your expectations,  meeting them,  or exceeding them? 

 

Then find the people in the third option!

 

End of lesson! Lol
