Bet on a New You….

12|27|2016

Hey all! It’s Friday night and I’ve been busy following up with people interested in all the new and exciting things happening in January for health & fitness! And, decided to take a quick break and put up a blog post for my first FIT FRIDAY back since being hacked. (On a side note, I honestly can’t figure out why a hacker would target my site of all sites out there. And, I’m SUPER annoyed that because of them, I had to spend almost $500 getting this clean and back up and running! I wish I could send them the bill…and I wish they would start using their God-given talents for something more productive and ethical. Ok, I had to put that out there if they’re reading this lol. I’m certain I really made them think twice about ever doing it again). ANYHOO, I’ve been a coach for just over 3 years now and I honestly don’t think I’ve EVER been quite this excited about the possibilities and how revolutionary this new release is for people! Not only can people get PAID (YES, a share of over a million dollars!) to focus on their health & fitness in January BUT they can use the most comprehensive package we’ve EVER had!! #winning

So, what’s the down low on this? Wellllllll, first off ~ I’m SUPER stoked to be hosting my next new group with these 3 amazing women in my downline! They are super fun and super inspiring and this is the first time all 4 of us will be hosting a group! And, together we are gonna help people make January a KICK ASS month in the name of health & fitness!

Secondly, Beachbody just launched something called the Beachbody On Demand All Access pass. It’s a mouthful. What does it really mean? The long and short of it is that anyone who signs up for this gets and ENTIRE YEAR of streaming videos for one low investment!! I like to call it the Netflix of Fitness….and while #BOD was good before, this All Access Pass is even better. You get access to every.single.fitness.program.in.the.entire.Beachbody.library. Every single one. AND, you also get access to every NEW program that will launch in 2017. I couldn’t believe this when they announced it ~ it was almost too good to be true. I can honestly say that one of the hardest things as a coach is when someone commits to a program on DVD and then they get it and they don’t love it. And, then when you offer to help them return it they say that they will just keep it and eventually do it. It’s. So. Hard. I feel so bad when someone doesn’t fall in love with their all of their investment. So, this option is awesome because it takes even more of the risk out. If you try a program and don’t love it, guess what, you have MANY others to choose from and nothing to ever return! AND, it still comes with a money-back guarantee of course! #noquestionsasked

Just click on the images below to get started NOW! And, the first 5 people that join with me as their coach are gonna get an awesome free gift from me!

And, I just wanted to talk about betting on a new you. Y’all can BET (hehe) that I’m betting on a new me in 2017. What a year it’s been! And, it seems to be a common theme of a lot of people around me on the #strugglebus this past year. I just had a blog post up this week about how I’ve been lost….been playing the victim….dealing with depression and anxiety….a laundry list of setbacks. But, through it all, I still grew a lot stronger. I still learned a lot about myself. AND, I still progressed in many areas that I am proud of. So when I saw this quote this week AND this blog post from another blogger (just click on the girl hanging on a tree limb lol), I knew I had to share them because I absolutely LOVED them both!!

Ummm, yes, freaking love this!!

And, this….. http://tcat.tc/2ga8Lqo

I think my favorite part was……

“If you think your life sucks, it probably does. If you think the world is out to get you, it probably is. If you think you deserve more, you probably do. The only thing in the world holding you back from achieving greatness is in fact you.”

So, I’m betting on a new me because I think I deserve more!! I embrace the old me and have learned to love the old me, too. But the new me is so much stronger and ready to fully take back my life. I’ve honestly been watching the scale creep back up for a year now. Little by little I’ve ended up only 10 lbs. from my highest non-pregnancy weight like in the pic on the left. But, as I’ve talked about before, the scale doesn’t have the same power over me as it did before. Because what the scale isn’t showing me right now is how much my body and my mindset have changed. I’m in a size 16 and pushing an 18 on the left. Only 10 less lbs on the right and I’m in a 12. Granted, my clothes right now are tighter than I want them to be and my ultimate goal is a size 6. So, yes, I have work to do. But, it won’t be just based on the scale and that number. It will be based on measurements and pics and honestly as always more importantly on how I continue to feel better, stronger and healthier on the inside. True change starts on the inside. And, while it’s taken me a while to fully get there, I WILL get there! And, then I truly will be able to look back on all this and say it was all for a reason. God never gives us more than we can handle.

So, there ya have it! MANY exciting things happening in our not-so-little world of health & fitness and I for one and beyond excited. I’m excited for possibilities! I’m excited to keep working with my tribe! They help me just as much if not more than I can ever help them. And, I’m excited about the possibilities of working with new people and seeing new faces of hope and faith in our groups and women supporting and lifting other women up to some CRAZY goals in the NEW YEAR!

So, who’s with me? Who struggle this past year? Who’ss trying to find themselves? Who’s looking for a new challenge? Who’s ready to say enough is enough and take back their life? I. AM. And, I wanna help you if any of these are you.

Progress is progress

Hey GOOOOOOOD morning ya’ll! It’s UNSEXY TUESDAY time! I wanna talk about patience today.

We often get caught up in things not happening fast enough…..at least I know I have.

But, since I started coaching, I’ve really been able to just focus on the bigger picture. I may take steps back in my health & fitness journey BUT since this is my life….this is my lifestyle now….I always have hope and the inspiration that I WILL get there. Maybe not tomorrow….but I WILL get there. I remember that I didn’t gain the weight overnight….therefore it won’t come off overnight. Does it mean I’m ALWAYS patient? No. I’d be lying if I said I was. AND, practicing patience is definitely one of those unsexy things you have to do in the name of losing weight and getting in better shape. But, for me and what I try to impress to my clients is that it’s freeing when you know what you’re doing isn’t a fad or the latest greatest quick fix. And, that for every time you fall, you can ALWAYS get back up again.

So, I’m not really even sure what my “THERE” is. I just know I’m never really done ~ but there WILL come a day where I look back over all the blood, sweat and tears and say, I DID IT. There WILL come a day where I don’t fall as often….or maybe I will just fall differently. But, I accept the fact that I will fall from time to time. But, I will also get back up….and practice more patience again.

And, on that note, I’m super excited about my results from Country Heat even in my first week!!

I’m down 3.6 lbs. and over 3 inches!

And, most importantly, I’m feeling so good again! It’s crazy how fast proper nutrition can turn things around! I’d been hitting my workouts but my nutrition was just not on point and I was feeling blah and tired and lazy and unmotivated and had some serious brain fog going on. Enter in Shakeology every day again, clean eating, and more water than I’d been drinking and within a week, I’m feeling so good! Ha, it’s a good reminder to just stay on track when you realize how yucky NOT being on track makes you feel.

So, yes, I WAS hitting my workouts ~ if you have followed me for a while, you know working out isn’t where I struggle. Granted, I don’t ALWAYS want to work out ~ even I have to sometimes talk myself into it ~ especially when life gets really busy. BUT, it just comes easier for me….for sure easier than sticking to my nutrition goals lol! I will say, however, that Country Heat has me seriously EXCITED to work out. Like I love to work out and all BUT to literally be excited and anxious for the next workout?!? YUP, that’s what Country Heat is doing for me! There’s just something about dancing. And, I’m not even a dancer. I’m not the most coordinated. I struggle to get many of the moves. But, I just tell myself that I WILL eventually get it and even if I trip over myself, I keep moving….because that’s all that matters. And, you use your whole body without really even realizing it so I’ve had sore abs and quads and arms and have to really stop and think why. Oh, that’s right….I’m STILL working out…it just doesn’t feel like it.

Anyhoo, I think that’s the theme of this #unsexyTuesday post.

No matter how many times you stumble over yourself….no matter how many times you fall….

JUST KEEP MOVING. THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS.

We will never have everything figured out. We will have setbacks. We will have days where we’re gonna eat cupcakes and drink a beer and for real if given the choice, it would ALWAYS be yoga pants. But, it’s all about balance, right? I will always believe in everything in moderation. I will have periods of time where I choose to be more strict and times where I wanna relax and enjoy life and food.

BUT, I WILL ALWAYS JUST KEEP MOVING.

Even taking a step back is still moving if you really think about it.

So, it’s OKAY! Be okay with summer being hard for you. Be okay with a bad day. Just don’t let a bad day turn into a bad week that turns into a bad month that turns into a bad year. I’ve been there. And, I’m not going back.

Here’s a few other glimpses into my week!
I LOVE my inspiration board (see below) AND I love the Beachbody Challenge Tracker App! AND, if you’re participating in a group with my lovely coach, Shalene, and I in September, THIS is just part of what you will see! Your progress as you go! There’s just something so motivating about this! To look back over your week and see that you did everything you were supposed to do! By the way, I log my rest days 😉 lol ~ just to say I was still following the program!

And, my 30-day inspiration board! Something inspiring and motivating for each day as I go!
(B helped me with this and thought it was pretty fun 🙂 )

And, the bloat disappearing! YAY!

And, since I mentioned CUPCAKES, here’s your bonus for the day. These would TOTALLY be a guilty pleasure and if anyone wants to make me some in oh……15 more days or so…..you would have a friend in me for life lol. One of my good friends who I used to work at the school with would bring this coconut cake from Sam’s for a treat for us every once in a while that was TO. DIE. FOR. It was seriously one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. These reminded me of that cake. (You can click on the image for the Pin for the recipe! btw if ya’ll haven’t noticed before, I try to add links to most all images I include in my posts to take you where you need to go 🙂 ) Please do the world a favor and share this post lol.

PEACE OUT!
Hope you’re out there busy doing the unsexy things you need to do in order to achieve all the things you know you want!
