Get all your Questions Answered -- Business Opportunity Call!

I have a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and an Associates in Elementary Education!! I am an Army Veteran, I lived in South Korea, Fort Hood Texas, Exmouth Australia, and Pearl Harbor Hawaii. I've been a stay at home mom for over 6 years!! 

My goal was to finish school while being at home with my girls. I joined the military to get my schooling paid for and used my GI bill to complete my BS degree online while taking care of my infant and toddler. BUT the lord had different plans for me ... Beachbody came in to my life when I was search for a way to loose weight after having my second baby girl. I really wanted to learn about clean eating and create a more healthy lifestyle for not only me but also my family. Guess what ... it worked for me! I never quit because I saw the MOST results EVER! I use to slave away at the gym before having my second child but NEVER got the kind of results I did after completing my first Beachbody program. I lost 35 pounds, I completely changed my lifestyle, I connected with other woman who shared the same interests and struggles, and I was held accountable. I knew that this needed to be shared with others who struggled just like me. 

I didn't even want to be a coach!! I didn't believe that it was something that I could do. I thought to myself "no one will want to follow me" ... "who is going to listen to me" .. "how will I find people" ... "I have no clue what i'm doing". So I only joined to get a discount on my monthly Shakeolgoy. Then one day, something spoke to me. I decided to give this whole thing a shot. I saw the potential in the business, the impact it was making on others lives, and the friendships that were being formed with in the team. I knew that I wanted to be apart of that. So I just started helping people every single day! I didn't have an agenda in mind but to share my journey and inspire others. 

I was consistent, I stayed focused, dedicated, and disciplined in growing my business in between nap times, school work, I got up early, and stayed up late. I really dove into how to be a better mentor, coach, person, friend, leader and as a result I have built my business into making over 6 figures a year. I don't consider this a JOB .. I consider it my PASSION! I get to support others daily, up lift them, help people transform their bodies but also their finances. 

THIS IS MY DREAM JOB! I am going to share with you TOMORROW EVENING at 8pm EST!! If you are interested in learning more about coaching and if this would be a good fit for you, then please shoot me a message for the link to log in!! The call will last 45 mins and I will answer all of the most common asked questions. 

I took this crazy leap of faith! Not because it was comfortable but because I believed in it!! I wouldn't be here today ... I can't even imagine my life any way else. 

Why not you!?!? What's holding you back?

Team Beachbody Leadership Retreat!

About a month ago I had the honor of attending the Team Beachbody Leadership Retreat with the top leaders of the company. Oh and the cool thing was that I had my room completely paid for and an additional $350 travel cash. I didn't do anything special to earn this, I just did my job. Showed up daily, helped my challengers get results, and mentored my team to duplicate what I do daily. The retreat was in a BEAUTIFUL resort in Scottsdale, Arizona and I was seriously blown away with how beautiful for this place was. I was in complete shock that I was even there, with some of the BEST people in the world, with an amazing company who truly cares about giving back to their coaches. Seriously feels surreal every time I attend one of their events. They always go above and beyond. 

This event is done yearly at a different place every year for 2 Star Diamond and above and have qualified by earning a certain amount of Elite points. Being a 2 Star Diamond Coach means that you have successful sponsored 2 of your Personally Sponsored Coaches to Diamond Rank. The training is all about networking, and providing the leaders of the company with advanced training to grow our businesses, manage our time effectively, communicate with others, and expand our market. We also get pretty cool insights on new programs coming out and trainings that are provided. The retreat is 2 days packed full of seminars with top notch speakers sharing their tips on success, celebrity workouts, and mingling parties in the evenings where you get the time to get to know the other leaders in the company. If you have never been to the Fairmont Princess in Scottsdale, I highly recommend it. GORGEOUS is an understatement. 

This was the FIRST year that I qualified to attend this event and I felt so BLESSED to represent my team and show them that this is totally possible for them to do next year. If I can do this ... So can they and I'm going to show them how. 

The first night there, I was in total relaxation mode and was just trying to explore the place. It was so huge. We got their a day early so that we could have some down time. The best part was meeting up with my life long friend that I met through this amazing coaching opportunity. I seriously am so blessed to have such a beautiful friend who just gets me. We met on the Beachbody Success Club Cruise Trip in March and every since then have hit it off. 

Beachbody Besties

I know that this is only the tip of the iceberg for my team. I am leading this path and showing them the way to success. If I can make it to leadership they can too. I want them to know that and believe that. I'm not different than anybody. I'm a normal mom, with dishes, laundry to fold, and errands to run. I know that next year I will have at least 5 of my personally sponsored coaches with me at the Leadership Event. That's my goal and next year I will dedicate myself to helping my coaches earn this trip because I know how much it meant to me to go this year and how much it is WORTH it. 

Friday morning we woke up to a workout with Autumn Calabrese doing her new workout program that will be released in February 2015 called 21 Day Fix Extreme. It's the next step after doing the 21 Day fix program if you want to take it to the next level. 

Our attempt at a Dream Team Pyramid! HA HA HA 

This is what I love about Team Beachbody

I love exactly what it stands for. They stand for integrity. They don't want to just create a bunch of products full of CRAP or that don't work but WE hold a true mission statement. To help FULFLL and improve the lives of others. To end the trend of obesity. We have wonderful values and along with that an amazing business structure. We are able to help Beachbody fulfill this mission as a coach each and everyday by running challenge groups, new coach trainings, and leadership trainings. 

Goals are created to fulfill to this mission statement. 

After our workout it was time to head in for some trainings given by the top coaches of the company and some celebrity speakers they brought in for us. We also got to hear about the new programs that will be released in the next 6 months. 

Shannon and I ready to get our training on. 

I will tell you that there is some AWESOME new stuff coming out in the future that has me pumped!!

Brand new program by Shaun T will be released December 2015 called Insanity Max: 30 

Insanity Max 30 Coming out Live December 2014

There is another exciting workout program coming in February of 2015 by Autumn Calabrese called 21 Day Fix Extreme!! This is the NEXT step after the 21 day Fix. I am seriously PUMPED for this workout program!! 

21 Day Fix Extreme  coming out February 2015

After some amazing sessions through out the day, an awesome lunch that Beachbody Provided for us, and a great workout that morning, it was time to get ready for a night of mingling. It was seriously the cutest little party. They even had a Donkey set up for us to take pictures with and some amazing appetizers. They know how to make us feel loved and spoil us. 

Dream Team at Friday Night Mingle Party!

The next morning we woke up to another sunrise workout with Autumn Calabrese. She always knows how to kick our butt and make us SWEAT! Love her live workouts.

Team Bonding in the Pool 

             It's always a good time with these people! We understand each other, we are the 5 % who are "WEIRD" and like to go against the flow. We follow our dreams and we know we are made for much more. When it's time to put our heads down and get to business we do what it takes but when it's time to be goofy we totally know how to do that too :) 

We kind of like to have a good time

Another awesome thing Beachbody rewarded us with was some wear and share. They came out with some new gear for every time you hit a new rank in the business and they gave us the gear for our rank in cute little gift boxes that had our names on it. 

The adorable shirt stating that i'm a 3 Star Diamond Coach

So do you want to know what I learned for this experience!?!? 

That I am never leaving this company and that I am LOYAL to them and plan on being around for a long time coming. I love everything that they stand for and love representing a company that holds a strong mission statement. A company that wants to help us succeed in our businesses and honestly believes in the products that they deliver. For the next 2 months of this year I am dedicating all of my time to not only help people get in the best shape of their life but help every single one of my coaches succeed and achiever their personal goals. I want to give all of my time to my team and my challengers!! I want to bust my butt to help others feel fulfilled. 

This whole thing isn't just bout ME it's about WE as a team!! I love Team Fit Fighters! Next year in California we will have at least 5 Team Fit Fighter coaches if not more. This is only the beginning for us. Together we have built an organization that is PASSIONATE about helping others and have built our team to #70 out of over 200,000 coaches. That means something! It happened because we put other peoples needs before our own. 

These next few months i'm putting my head down, pencil out, paper ready and creating some systems to increase my coaches growth in their business and decrease the fear and anxiety that may come with this business in the beginning. No frustration -- I got your back!! 

So here is my question for you!! 

Have you ever thought about becoming a coach? Do you like helping other people? To want to MEAN something to someone else and inspire others to live up to their full potential? 

I want to help you be successful so that you can join us on our next trips! So that you can help us fulfill our mission statement in helping others. 

Please complete this application below to get into my next 30 day new coach Bootcamp starting November 3rd, 2014. I only have a few more spots open so do not delay. 

Also I am hosting an informational session via youtube tomorrow at 9:00pm EST. 

You can watch right from the comfort of your home, ask questions, and get answers. 

              

Mission: Become the Best Version of Yourself!! Transform your LIFE and BODY!!

It's coming in to the holidays and I know that normally means it's time to forget about YOU and focus on everyone else!! NOPE, not this year!! As a Mom, Wife, and Business Owner I know how easy it is to put yourself on the back burner and just forget about YOU until you look in the mirror one day and don't recognize yourself. You haven't showered in three days let alone have time to fit in a workout. 

Well i'm asking you to do this one little favor for yourself TOGETHER ... Let's Become and FIND the Best Version of YOU!! You know it's time and if you are reading this then chances are you really really need this. Don't you want to feel confident, healthy, beautiful, and amazing in those skinny means, that holiday outfit, or that cocktail dress? I can feel you on this one, I've been there. I remember trying on every pair of jeans in the closet only going back to my yoga pants because that means I could hide the fact that nothing fit and gave me a muffin top. I totally get the struggle!! 

Sleep is something that is a luxury, your kids are running around like animals and you are doing everything you can to precent them from killing each other, you aren't ready to spend the money on a fitness program that is just going to sit and collect dust, and you really don't want to make the investment on Shakeolgoy because you aren't sure you are even going to like it. 

Before committing to my own challenge group, I didn't see what the big deal was with this Shakeolgoy stuff. I was fine with my daily protein shake that cost a fraction of the price, until I wanted to see for myself what the HYPE was about this stuff. I decided I would give it a shot for 30 days. 

Wanna know what happened next!??! I committed to 90 days of TurboFire, I committed to my challenge group and checking in daily, I learned everything I could about clean eating, I replaced one meal a day with Shakeolgoy, and BOOM lost 40 pounds in 90 days. My complete lifestyle changed in only three short months and it also transformed my families life. My girls know the difference between a healthy meal and a junk food meal. They totally call me out when something isn't healthy or good for them. I cooked more meals from home, we felt better, had more energy as a family, and truly know how to fuel our bodies. This change in MYSELF not only changed ME and helped me become my own best version but also my family and friends, everyone around me.

As I watched myself and my life transform it has truly inspired me to help other families and women do the same thing for themselves but also for their family and friends. To become the BEST version of you. To feel and live the way you were MEANT to live. You deserve to wake up with energy and to LOVE every bit of yourself. You owe it to your FAMILY!! 

So here is what I'm going to do!! I'm going to teach you how to make exercise a part of your LIFESTYLE I'm going to teach you how to plan healthy meals, create a weekly meal plan, prepare healthy snacks, stay motivated over the next 60 days, and find your HEALTHY balance between the holiday treats and your new lifestyle. I know the holidays are coming up and it's much harder at this time. This is the time that most of us throw this type of lifestyle out the window and wait to start in the New Year but seriously do you want to be 10 pounds heavier!??! You can use the 80/20 rule, stay on track, enjoy the treats in moderation, and loose weight. I can show you how! 80% of the time you will be eating clean and 20% of the time you get to enjoy the little extras this time of year offers you. 

Together we are going to look at your week and pick and choose what's most important, what you are going to STICK to, and where you plan to enjoy. 

We are aiming for a LIFESTYLE not a Quick Fix or a Diet but something you can MAINTAIN forever and always!!! Enjoy the best of BOTH worlds. 

So you are thinking ... YES, that sounds awesome I totally want to do this 

What do I have to do!??!

3.  You are REQUIRED to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology ONLY for the duration of the group.

The Only Way to Truly Fail is to Quit Trying!!

I get so many people that I talk to daily that are SCARED to fail. Scared or starting another program and falling on their face - ONCE AGAIN! Wasting more money that isn't getting used .. Or starting something again only to leave them with disappointment. I'm here to tell you,

 IF YOU ARE SICK OF FAILING - STOP GIVING UP!!!! 

I also get the people that have to keep starting their program over and over again - But call themselves a failure. Well I'm here to clear that up .... YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE! Failing means you NEVER got back up and tried it again. As long as you keep TRYING you will NEVER EVER Fail! 

It's true ... have you ever heard the saying fall 7 times get up 8? It's TRUTH and WISE! 

I can't tell you how many times i've fallen straight on my face. If we want to be honest here I've been trying to get motivated to do Body Pump for months now. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ... I never ever will give up. That makes me a winner. Of course I won't get the results as fast as I want and I won't have the feeling you get when you finish a program - at least not YET. I did TurboFire and It wasn't easy. 

I was moving all over the place while doing that program My husband is in the military and we were doing a move from Australia to Hawaii but i stuck with it. Sure, I had to redo some weeks. I had some cheats that I probably shouldn't of had ... but I DID it.. I never gave up and that is where the results came in. 

The best advice I can give to keep you getting back up is ...

1. Form a Habit! - Once you create exercising a habit it becomes a part of your daily life. It takes 21 days to form a habit. Keep up with it and never look back. Once you fall out of this habit it becomes MUCH harder to get back in the groove. TRUST ME! 

2. Reward yourself for DOING IT! You need to give yourself some credit for showing up to the gym or pressing play. Getting to that point is half the battle and once you are there - YOU ARE THERE! You can worry about the weight loss, or how many push-ups you can do, or how fast you want to run later. JUST GET THERE! 

3. Make your workout FUN! This is why I LOVE TurboFire. The music is out of this WORLD. SO MUCH FUN! "It's a party every time you push play." This is my soul mate workout and to me it's not a CHORE but something I LOVE doing! If you don't love what you are doing, it's going to be pretty hard to form a habit and keep up with it. Find something you love and stick with it. 

4. Schedule your workout time during a time that won't get in the way of other things! Working out needs to be done during a QUIET HOUR! If you plan your workout dab in the middle of the day it may be easily pushed aside from something you find more important. First thing in the morning or RIGHT after work are good places to slip your workout in before LIFE gets in the way. Find your time and make it NON NEGOTIABLE!!

5. Get an Accountability Buddy! Having someone that can join you, keep in contact with you, and motivate you will boost your commitment. Great way to stay on track and gain an awesome bond with someone.

6. X out your Workout Schedule. Placing an X on the calendar of the days you got your workout in will give you that visual that you need to PUMP YOU UP!

7. Create a daily routine. Make your workout a RITUAL! Make it something that is engrained in your mind. The same time everyday NO MATTER WHAT! It will become second nature to you and when that time comes up you will be running to the T.V. to press play or grabbing your workout bag to get to the gym. You will know that time is YOUR time to get the job done and nothing will get in it's way.

8. HABITS COME FIRST! People believe that buying a big fancy in home gym is just going to magically give them the will power and momentum needed to create a habit. Your habits must come FIRST before just going out and buying everything under the sun. This is why I LOVE the Beachbody challenge. You don't have to do it alone. My coach helped me through my WHOLE program. She helped me with all of the above and I didn't have to go out and buy a $1,000 treadmill or a 2,000 bow flex. NOPE! I bought my program and I created the habit with out needing the fancy gym equipment. All I needed was my good ol' TV (even a lap top would work) and my DVD player!

9. Start SMALL! Trying to go out and run a marathon on your first day is going to leave you SORE, TIRED, and feeling like a FAILURE! Don't start out so big. It takes MONTHS to build up to that point - Heck, sometimes a whole year! You don't want to scare your self away. Start out small and slowly build yourself up. You will be amazed at how far you come in 2,3 and 4 weeks down the road.

10. Most important of all ... DO IT FOR YOU & NEVER TO IMPRESS ANYONE! It won't justify you continuing and keeping up with it. If you exercise and eat healthy to gain energy, feel good about yourself, and have fun then it will be all the more reason to continue. 

NEVER quit trying and NEVER give up on yourself and you will always be a WINNER! The choices you make everyday good or bad are going to create your future either in a positive or negative way. Each little thing we do will eventually add up to the big picture. Are you going to make the right decisions no matter how small or big they may be or are you just going to give up? 

I believe you in you. I know you can do this. YOU ARE NOT A QUITTER. Repeat that after me. 

YOU ARE NOT A QUITTER! You may fall down a few more times but you WILL never give up. 

If you are looking for more accountability, a fun workout program, and help with keeping you motivated. Contact Me!  I'm here to help you.

Edamame and Roasted Corn Succotash

This dish is absolutely crazy healthy, vegan, and YUMMO! It's pretty simple to make too, so that makes it just that much better. I got this recipe while doing The Ultimate Reset and fell in love with it and decide that it would be rotated in my meal plans regularly. I know that you will love this simple dish just as much. This dish is packed with protein and veggies. It has it all in one!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup frozen edamame
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 shallot, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 red onion, diced
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
Sea salt and Herbal seasoning (I used Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb) to taste.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and arrange corn in single layer on baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, or until caramelized and beginning to brown but not harden.
Remove and let cool. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil and cook edamame for 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside. Saute onion, shallot, and bell pepper in oil for 10 minutes until soft.

Add corn and edamame to onion mixture; cook on medium for 5 minutes. Add Vinegar and remove from heat. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, salt, and seasoning.
