Café Latte Shakeology has the same protein blend and superfood profile as Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Greenberry and the same superfood ingredients as all the other formulas as well.  New Shakeology Continue Reading >

Vanilla Shakeology is here!

July 1st 2013
Vanilla Shakeology is here. After many years of research, the Beachbody research team found a way to deliver a safe, non-gmo form of vanilla. This is one of the many reasons why I love being a part of this team and wonderful company. Beachbody will not give unhealthy ingredients to its customers or coaches. You hear of so many other companies who claim "natural" or "best tasting" and I immediately flip over the bag and look at the ingredients. Typically full of artificial colors, flavors Continue Reading >

Top Questions

May 31st 2013
Top questions people ask me: 1) Is Insanity hard? 2) Do I have to actually coach people when I sign up as a coach? 3) Are you a personal trainer or fitness instructor? 4) What makes Shakeology better than a protein shake I can buy at GNC? 5) Why should I buy products through you and not just get them off of ebay? Q: Is Insanity hard? A: Yes. It is extremely difficult. However, you can go at your own pace. It is very refreshing to see people in the video who are super fit take breaks. Continue Reading >

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 >

Experiment for 60 days

December 17th 2012
Experiment for 60 days You are about to take a journey with me whether you want to or not. I want all the support I can get. December 18th I’m heading into the doctor for pre-op surgery appointment. He is going to lay out the surgery and recovery time. What surgery? I’m having some work done on my eyes. I’m having bags, also known as festoons, removed. I’m tired of looking tired. I wake up every morning with the puffiest eyes. The minute I tell people I’m getting it done they say 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 >

Skinny

August 24th 2012
Skinny What would you do to be skinny? I know what I would do. I did it and guess what? It didn’t work. Sometime around the age of 12 I realized my self-image. I was at a friend’s house and we were trying on jeans. Hers were 2 sizes smaller than mine. I immediately thought that I was not good. I was fat. I was 12! I wasn’t fat. I was just a different shape. I didn’t have a clue about dieting. We ate out of box or can most of the time. I remember the regular meals at my house were fried Continue Reading >

Easy vs Not Easy

November 18th 2011
