Say no to plateaus

March 12th 2013
Weight Loss Plateaus occur when you no longer lose weight despite your exercise and nutrition efforts. To officially be in a plateau you must be at the same weight for at least 6 weeks or more. If you find your weight fluctuates after the weekend or after certain types of foods (salty, high carbs) then the plateau may be easier to push through than you think. You usually lose more weight in the first few weeks/months of your weight loss efforts because of the change in your nutrition and exercise. Continue Reading >

What is stopping you from saying YES?

January 19th 2013
What is stopping you from saying YES? Who would say NO to better health? Who would say NO to a better body? Who would say NO to more income? Who would say NO to a better, more inspired life? No one does it on purpose yet I hear NO all the time. So many times I’ve had conversations with people who want a better life, want more money, want change, want a better relationship, a better job or better health. We have a great conversation and determine their WHY. What is a why? A why Continue Reading >

Awesome Level Rising – Post Surgery

January 15th 2013
Surgery was Friday January 5th. The first several days were pretty boring. I couldn’t really sleep and had to sit up at a 45 degree angle and keep ice on my eyes at all times. You never really realize just how much you depend on your eyes when you can’t use them. Simple things like helping my son get ready for school or reading him a book at bedtime were over for a while. Day 1: We went into the Surgery Center in Fort Worth and they treated me like gold. My nurse Laura was amazing. She was Continue Reading >

Then vs Now

December 14th 2012
Then vs Now Most people tend to reflect on the year when a new one is approaching. I could spend hours talking about how I’ve changed and improved. Last week I spoke on a call discussing some of the changes that have happened in the last 2 years because I said YES to becoming a Team Beachbody coach. I went from being the girl crying in the closet at my clothes to never crying in there again. I went from being the person calling the credit card company for available balance Continue Reading >

Happy 2 Year Anniversary

November 2nd 2012
Whoa! 2 years. What happens in 2 years? In November 2010 I became a Team Beachbody coach. I’m absolutely amazed at how much our lives have changed in 2 short years. I could ramble on and on about how awesome things are now. Many of you do not know my life before I was a coach in the public eye. I don’t want to get into too much detail but let’s just say that it wasn’t all that happy. We were getting by. We were like most families just trying to make it. It is difficult to admit but Continue Reading >

Are you a drama queen?

November 2nd 2012
Definition of a drama queen: An overly dramatic person. Someone who turns something unimportant into a major deal. Someone who blows things way out of proportion whenever the chance is given. Most drama queens will not admit they are addicted to drama. They do not even know they are the one in control of their own life. They usually deflect and blame other people and situations for their terrible life and terrible luck. Here is how to know if you are a drama queen: • Someone asks Continue Reading >

Insanity the Asylum volume 2

October 21st 2012
In 2011 I was introduced to Insanity The Asylum. Insanity with even more intensity. Imagine Insanity while jumping rope and keeping your feet in an agility ladder. Imagine challenging yourself to the max. Having workouts more than 1 hour and defining the term "dig deeper" with every workout. My body changed in just 5 days when doing Aslyum volume 1. If I had changed my diet to be cleaner I would have had even more amazing results. This time it is different. I've just finsihed the Beachbody Ultimate Continue Reading >

Beachbody Ultimate Reset Day 1 complete

September 25th 2012
We survived day 1. It's not that dramatic. The first time we did the reset it felt like we survived. This time it felt like we were just living. We were comfortable with the supplements and the recipes. We didn't have to check the book for everything. We already know which meals or ingredients we like and don't like. We know that nutrition is the key. We kind of fell off of the wagon and let it roll over us for a good month. Only one day on the reset and we both feel better. Continue Reading >

Beachbody Ultimate Reset Again

September 19th 2012
Beachbody Ultimate Reset again. We did the reset back in May and had awesome results. We are beginning the Reset again Monday September 24th. This time around I'm going to commit to posting a blog and video about it every day to document our progress the second time around. Get ready! We have some very aggressive goals for our health and fitness over the next 90 days. The Reset is going to set us up for success for the first month. Continue Reading >

The Value of a Success Partner

September 12th 2012
Just days away from my 41st birthday and I’m reflecting. I spent most of my life without an accountability partner. Now I have a success partner and a personal life coach. I talk to my success partner Rhonda every week. We have a set call every Friday to talk for 30 minutes. I look forward to it every week. I also talk to my coach Mandy every Thursday to set new goals for the week and evaluate how my previous week went. You cannot do your own brain surgery. You cannot coach yourself. It is in Continue Reading >
