Beachbody Ultimate Reset 21 days in review We did it. We made it through the 21 days. Today is the 21st day.

I have more restful sleep when I feed my body food that Continue Reading >

Beachbody Ultimate Reset Day 1 Review

May 1st 2012
Mark is down 5 pounds. I'm down 4 in just 1 day. Amazing. What would you do for 21 days to reset your insides? Are you willing to give up caffiene, alcohol, cheese? Or do you want to keep suffering with health issues? We were ready to give it a try. Mark and I were not a big fan of cleansing for 21 days. We enjoy pizza and Mexican food and drinking red wine. Not like we are over the top about it but you want it when you want it. If someone tells me I can't have X for 21 days then I want it. I Continue Reading >

Life Changing Experience

April 2nd 2012
Dreaming big. I can dream big. I do dream big. I’ll lie in bed or day dream about where I believe my life will be at the end of the year, 5 years, 10 years. Have you ever just sat down and really thought about it? I know for many years I thought I did. But I really didn’t. I’d think about what it would be like to be rich or have ripped abs. What would my life be like? Then I started to think about the “how” too much. How would I actually get there? Would my company get bought out and Continue Reading >

Scatter-Brained

March 19th 2012
Scatter Brained Over the moon with excitement about this upcoming trip to the Bahamas. I have to perform a brain dump. I spent most of my adult life insecure about myself. The way I looked, the way I felt, and in my abilities to do anything. I was afraid to try. I was afraid to fail. I was afraid. Even when I was at my lowest weight ever I was still critical of myself. I needed a flatter stomach. I needed to be a smaller size. I never looked at myself and said nice things. I would look at other Continue Reading >

Change. Do you really want it? Are you ready for the Challenge?

March 17th 2012
Change. Do you really want it? Are you ready for the Challenge? I’m not singling out any one person in this post. I’ve had tons of people tell me they want help. They want to lose weight. They want to feel better. In the same breath they also tell me that they do not want to work out, they do not want to get up early, they don’t have time, or they don’t have money. I have to ask my spouse, I’m going on vacation, I’ve been sick, I’ve got a lot going on. The list goes on and on. My Continue Reading >

Top Reasons I recommend being a Team Beachbody coach Accountability: If you struggle with your weight , body image and staying in a routine then coaching is perfect for you.

I yo-yo dieted for most of my adult life. Lose 10, gain 20, lose 20, gain 40. Being a coach helps keep you accountable. You are on a Continue Reading >

Did I do it?

January 31st 2012
Did I do it? Did I go 30 days without red meat, alcohol, pedicures and buying shoes? Why did I even decide to do this? Everyone has a new year’s resolution. Most people give up within the first week to 10 days. Why do they give up? Because forming new habits can be a challenge. Making unrealistic goals is another issue. I’m going to go to the gym 6 days a week from the old 0 days. As soon as they miss one day they say “well I failed to reach my goal so I’ll quit.” I started Continue Reading >
