Getting Healthy for the New Year

It is a new year and you might sitting down to think about your goals for 2016. If getting healthy is on your list, this year does not have to be like the years past. This year can be YOUR year to kick some bootay and not just succeed at getting healthy but get in the best shape of your LIFE!!! The top resolution every year is fitness and by the end of January more than half have already given up. Why is this???

I personally think people give up so quickly because they do not know where to begin or have the right tools. They don't have the support or daily motivation to help them push through the tough days and pick them up when they had a bad day of eating. So many Americans try to 'diet' and let's be really honest with ourselves, diets don't work. Diets don't work because it is not part of your lifestyle, you will for the rest of your life count calories or points. For me that is no way to live!! 

To truly be successful at achieving your resolutions for a healthier 2016, you need to learn a healthier way of living. This includes the right kinds of foods to fuel body, correct portion amounts of foods, daily workouts, a support system, and learning how to incorporate this into your life so it is a lifestyle and not a quick fix! I am going to share with you how you can do this!!

1) Find a program that works for you. if you say you will get gym membership but know deep down you won't go then this isn't a good option. Figure out what you enjoy during for workouts and find something that fit these needs. There is Beachbody program for every person out there!! If you like weights there is 21 day fix, 21 fix extreme, and the new program which I am super excited about Hammer and Chisel!! If you like pilates and yoga type workouts there is PiYo which is a combination of both and is low impact! If you like cardio and no weights, insanity max 30 high intensity workouts using your bodyweight!! The list goes on and on...but when you find something you like to do, at home, and only 30 minutes you are more likely to stay committed!!

2) Support system. Join a group of individuals who are pushing for the same goals as you and going through the same program. These support groups will help give you the extra push when you have a bad day, daily motivation to stay on track, workout, and when you want to give up. Support is crucial piece to sticking with a fitness program or goal. If you exercise with individuals with share the same goals with you it makes it fun and more enjoyable!! Everyday you are held accountable and want to succeed to share your success!! With every Beachbody program, you can join support groups for FREE!! I run 2 groups monthly to help individuals learn how to get started, stay committed, motivated, learn healthy recipes/proper nutrition, and have FUN while doing it!! The support from other women is so inspiring!!

3) Time/Putting yourself first. YOU ARE WORTH IT!! Set time aside for yourself everyday to get your workout in. With a 30 minute a day program, you can say your too busy, we are all busy!! This is 2% of your day, you deserve this time to feel good about yourself and take care of your body!! Treat working out like your job, schedule it in everyday and no matter what get your workout in!! You have to take care of yourself first to be able to take care of others!! So remember you are important and worth this time!!

4) Routine. Figure out a time that will work best for you to workout. Schedule this in everyday and follow it. For me, waking up before the little one is best so I get it done, my mind can't tell me no, and I feel great for the rest of the day!! Figure when it is best for you and stick with it for 30 days and just see how amazing you feel!!

5) Tools. The right program, nutrition plan, support, and routine are vital to being successful and staying committed to your goals!

6) Tracking your progress. The scale is not the most accurate way to measure and I tell every person I work this!! Taking good accurate measurements and before-after pictures is the tell all!! I love these 2 ways more than scale because they tell progress more than the scale!! Also, how you feel and how your clothes fit is another way to track your progress! Give your measurements/pictures to someone you trust and do a weekly check-in with them to track. I absolutely love this part of being a fitness coach!! In the support groups I help you keep track of progress and keep pushing every single day for those results!! 

Pictures tell all!

My next health and fitness accountability group opens up January 4th, and I want YOU in it with me!! Drop the excuses and start right NOW!!

Pursue Your Dreams: Make 2016 Your Best Year EVER and Join Team Inspire!

As I sit here thinking about what to write, I can't help but think of my dreams growing up and even a few years ago. After college I thought I would land the perfect job of working in a hospital as a Child Life Specialists. One year after college, I was married and pregnant, I was working a job I was unhappy with because my heart wasn't in it. I had always said when we had kids I would stay home with them.

Well, reality set in and our finances did not allow for this to happen. I cried every single day I had to drop our sweet boy off at daycare because I wanted to be home to give him kisses, hug him after a fall, watch his first steps, cuddle him to sleep, and enjoy every moment of these precious years. 

Fast forward 4 months after having our son, Krayton. I desperately wanted to get back into shape and lose all the baby weight. The gym was not an option since it required more time away from my family. I started a Beachbody program (21 day fix) and instantly fell in love with the home workouts, simplified nutrition, and amazingness of Shakeology to provide me my healthiest meal of the day! I completed 1 round of the 21 day fix and knew deep down I was went meant to do more with this, I was meant to do more with this life!! I knew I could help so many other women struggling to lose weight, find self-confidence, and pursue their dreams!!

Confident and in love with the person I am!

I was not and am not perfect in any aspect of my life, that is the beautiful thing about coaching. You are surrounded by other women who want to better their lives, build you up rather than tear you down, women who want to help you succeed, and accountability in your own health journey. I believe that you can achieve anything you desire with love, hard work, support, and the right tools! 
As a coach you will be on your own health/fitness journey and helping others along in theirs. You will be provided training from a Top 50 team in the company. Tools that have been tested and shown success to help you get started and be successful in the business!!  

So what it is I am asking you to do?? I am asking to think to yourself: 
*Am I happy with my health right now? 
*Am I happy with my self-confidence or self-perspective?
*Am I happy with my job or finances right now? 
*Do I feel a calling to do more with my life?

If any of these questions have you wanting to change your life then I have an opportunity that is a ONCE in a lifetime chance to make your life and so many others lives better!! Coaching is not just about you it is about making an impact on the others around you as well!! Everyone wants to get healthy, not worry about money, and live life more freely. I have ALL that and much MORE to offer as a Coach on Team Inspire!!

Beachbody Super Saturday Event!!

In one short year, I have lost all my baby weight and more, I am in the best shape of my life! I have made friendships with some of the most amazing I have ever met! I have been able to quit my job to stay at home full-time with our son, help pay for gas/groceries/bills each month, pay for a trip we are taking to Mexico in April, and I can live life by our design!! I literally get to live out my dream every single day all while getting healthy and helping others!! ALL of this happened because I took a leap of faith and said why not me?? Why can't I have more out of this?? This could be YOU!!

2015 was a great year, but I have been gearing up for 2016 and this is going to be a year to remember for Team Inspire!! If you are:
*If you are a go getter

*If you are driven

*If you are motivated

Then I want YOU on my team!!!

LETS MAKE 2016 OUR BEST YEAR EVER!!!

No Holiday Weight Gain- Survival Guide

November and December are survival mode for most aspects of our life. We are busy with our normal day-to-day activities but this time of the year we add on so much with holiday parties, shopping, family gatherings, and more. This is also the time of year where excuses come in to play big time and we don't make time for our health or we say we don't have the money to eat healthy. 

This is where I call BS..yes I said it!! If you really want to get healthy then the time of year doesn't matter. It is all about YOU. It is about your will and want to change. If you want to get healthy then you will start no matter what is happening in your life. You can be successful at this time of year and still enjoy all those Holiday festivities you don't want to miss out on.

How to be successful during the Holiday season:

1) Strong-emotional connection to your WHY. What sucks in your life that you want to change.  Some examples related to health are your always tired, hate how your clothes fit, can't play with your kids like you want to, etc. What will getting healthy allow you to do in the future that you can't do now. You have to have strong WHY to start this journey because when the days get tough, if your not connected to why you want to get healthy then it is easy to throw in the towel. 

2) Sacrifice- If you are unhappy with how things are going in your life then you have to change. You have to choose to change things in your life and sacrifice to get you to where you want to go. It is going to take day in and day out work. Things that are worth having don't come easy. Giving up instant gratification for that slice of pizza, soda, candy bar, or drinks requires sacrifice, think about goals and where you want to be. Worth you waking up every day and feeling confident, energized, feeling that you are living a life accomplished, strong. Giving up instant gratification to change your life, not only effects you but changes the lives of the others around you. You can choose to miserable/unhappy for the rest of your life or sacrifice a few things to get to where you want to be, the choice is yours!

3) Support- Having others in your family, friend group, or online that are going through it with help you so much. Having other like minded individuals around you and supporting you helps you stay focused and committed. When have somewhere to check in to and share your successes and struggles it makes it easier to do day after day!

4) Plan- Have your meal plan complete for the week, if you have parties planned that week make sure to include that in your meal plan. Bring an appetizer or dish to the event that you can have so you can enjoy something while mingling. If dessert is your weakness, make a healthy dessert. Having a plan will allow you to be successful.

5) Moderation- This is KEY to not gaining weight over the Holidays. This is a lifestyle, I always allow myself one cheat meal or food for the week, every week! Then you don't feel deprived or the urge to just binge eat any and everything! So over the Holidays I am picking Thanksgiving day and Christmas Eve as my cheat meal days. I will indulge in all my favorites and not feel guilty about it, why? Because no other day will I over do it. I will get right back on track the next day. Pick the most important day, meal or party that you want to enjoy and ENJOY it!! The other days, stick your plan!!

I am on a mission this Holiday season to not gain any weight and I want to help others do the same!! I want to help others make a plan, stay accountable, and motivated throughout this busy season!

Ask yourself this. Do you want to end 2015 better than it started?! Do you want to ROCK that Christmas or New Years outfit you have your eye on?! Do you have 2015 resolution that never happened and you say will start in 2016?! If you answered yes to any of these questions then I am your girl! 
You can start NOW and be that much closer to your goals! 

Let's make a plan together and end this year better than we started! I am going to run a 30 day Holiday Survival group starting on November 30th and running until the end of the year! 

The private online group will consist of:
* meal planning
* grocery shopping tips
* meal/recipe ideas for those Holiday parties
* how to stay on track when traveling
* support
* accountability
* daily motivation
