My AHA Moment







Tonight- I had a totally 'aha' moment as I sat at my kitchen table listening to our Monday night Dream Team call. I had one of those moments where the past year flooded through my mind and it really HIT me-- the hard work I have been putting in, the time I spend helping my challengers, my new coaches, my emerging leaders and my seasoned leaders--every step Ive taken really has mattered. 

The one thing that caused that MOMENT for me-- as she was talking about the Leadership Retreat that the leaders of Beachbody are going to in Arizona this week... the Leadership Retreat that I qualified for and was invited to in May of this year--

I remember exactly one year ago- sitting in the same spot at the same dining room table.. listening to my mentor talk about how she and a few other leaders on her team were going to this AMAZING ALL EXPENSE PAID LEADERSHIP RETREAT and I just WISHED I could go too. So at that moment last year- i wrote down that I WOULD BE THERE NEXT YEAR. 



One year later- here I am- preparing for this amazing trip with my husband to go and 'run with the big dogs' this weekend. It seems so surreal. I feel like 'why me?'-- but then as soon as those 'why me's' enter my head I quickly say out loud- WHY NOT ME!?!!


This is a blessing. A gift. An opportunity. I can't imagine where my life would be at this moment had I not taken a leap of faith 15 months ago on this whole 'coaching thing.'
I can about bet we would be bankrupt and still struggling to dig our way out of the hole that we were in. I can bet that we would still be BROKE and fighting about money. I can bet that I would still be feeling defeated everyday. Feeling like there was no way off the hamster wheel. 



BUT- I made a choice-- Dustin Bozzo and I made a choice-- for me to dive in. All in. And build this team from the ground up. I had 147 FB friends, I didn't know how to copy/paste, I didn't know how to use YouTube and I certainly had no idea what a blog even was!

BUT I LEARNED. I read personal development EVERYDAY and still do andI changed my mindset. NO EXCUSES. I took baby steps. I just decided that FAILURE WASN'T AN OPTION.

Here I am. My dreams are coming true. My team is in full bloom and I love that each and every person brings a different dynamic to who and what we are all about 

Life is all in what you make of it. What do you choose? 



Will you choose to join my team? Will you choose something better? Do you want to be a leader? A mentor? Do you want to help just ONE person change their life?
WHY NOT YOU?

I'm looking for 7 people. Not just anyone. 7 DRIVEN, WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER, MOTIVATED women to learn a business in less than 3 months. I will teach you and mentor you every step of the way.
Maybe you are a mom who wants to stay at home with your kids.
Maybe you are a military wife and you just get settled and it's time to move again.
Maybe you are a college student wanting to do more with your life and put yourself through school.
Maybe you are just a woman ready to take on a new path in life.

How To Stay On Track With Your Eating While Dining Out



How To Eat Healthy While Dining Out
Most restaurant foods are packed with sodium and fairly unhealthy.  
You best option is to cook at home, but if you are dining out, there are 
ways to help make the best of it!



1. Make smart choices

Almost every menu contains chicken or fish cooked in a healthy way. Look for words
 like "grilled," "broiled," or "steamed," and avoid "sautéed" and "fried." Don't be afraid
 to ask your server for your food NOT to be cooked in butter or oil. Speak up! They 
are happy to serve you.

2. Skip the appetizer

By definition, an appetizer is intended to get your appetite going. 
But when some appetizers contain more than 1,000 calories, that's not an 
appetizer—that's a full meal and more! If you do want an appetizer, ask your 
table if they'd be willing to split one of the healthier options like a salad, bruschetta, 
ceviche, or anything that's light on sauce and heavy on fruits, veggies, or lean 
protein.

3. Eat a salad

Greens are also a great option, but not all salads are created equal. Stick 
with salads that don't contain mayo (in other words, avoid the tuna and 
chicken salad), and ask for the dressing on the side. This way you can add 
your tablespoon or two, instead of having your salad drenched in it.

4. Side dishes in your mouth mean sidecars on your thighs

At many restaurants, the "side" is a baked potato, fries, or coleslaw. What does 
that equal? Unnecessary calories. If you'd like a side, request the salad 
(dressing on the side), fruit, or steamed veggies, even if you don't see 
them as an option.

5. No bread

Don't eat the bread. Does it taste good? Sure! But instead of eating something
 because it's in front of you, swap those empty calories for something you'd actually 
enjoy.

6. Eat half

Over time, American portion sizes have enlarged to gargantuan sizes. 
Restaurants often provide you not with one serving of pasta, but with as 
many as 4 or more. But if you have a hard time not cleaning your plate—
after all, the food does taste good—request that the waiter split your order in 
half before they bring it to the table. That way you can enjoy your dinner as 
lunch later in the week.

7. No soda

If bread is bad, soda might be worse. That's because it's easy to consume massive
 amounts of calories fast. And don't even think about going the "diet" route. Those 
artificial sweeteners aren't healthy, and they can lead you to crave more sugary 
substances. Talk about a lose-lose! If you want something other than water, ask for unsweetened iced tea. It's calorie free, so you can drink as much as you want!

8. Dessert

Oh, our favorite part! Granted, some restaurants use restraint, and focus more on 
unique flavors than on quantity, but if you're out with friends at the type of place 
where the dessert has more calories than your meal, and they insist upon ordering
 it, suggest the table split it. Then take a single bite and put your spoon down. It's
 not about denying yourself, but about making smart choices. If you're still craving 
something sweet when you get home, enjoy some yogurt and berries or a piece 
of fruit.

What Is P90?




I have to tell you-- I am so stinkin' excited about the soon to be released Beachbody Home Fitness Program-- P90. The awesome man himself, Tony Horton has done it AGAIN!!  He has put together another incredible workout series to get you toned, ripped and ready to crush your fitness/weight loss goals! When I first heard about this workout I was crazy excited!  Have you ever done P90X???  It is hard!!!  Have you ever tried P90X and failed?!?!  YOU ARE NOT ALONE!  Do you want to do P90X but you don't feel like you are at that fitness level just yet?  Do you want a stepping stone to build a base level of fitness so that you can tackle something like P90X?




Tony saw the need for a program that was the foundational skills to advancing to a more extreme workout and he created P90!  He created it for people just like you and me!  We want to be in the best shape of our lives, but we need to start at the beginning and build core strength, stability and have correct form so that we don't get injured and end up back at the start again!  It's about creating a safe and effective starting point for people to introduce fitness into their lives.  It's also a great way for people to conquer their fears of strength training and working out.

Who would this program be perfect for?
  • Someone who does not want a hardcore workout, but wants to lose weight.
  • Someone who wants to get back some of the muscle tone you've lost over the years. 
  • Someone who wants to get out of bed in the morning without a backache!
  • If you are just someone who wants to get healthy and add exercise to your routine!



So what is this program all about?

It's not high intensity, its not pounding your joints.  It's literally simple cardio, simple workouts, 25 minutes a day for 90 days to totally and completely transform your body and your life. It's more than just a workout, it comes with a simple nutrition guide that is going to help you clean up your daily food intake and focus on the right foods to fuel your body for health!  The moves are modified right from day one so that everyone can do the workouts. 

So when will it be available?

Well the expected release date is September 23rd, 2014 through a Team Beachbody coach which is ME!  I am going to be leaving next Wednesday for the Team Beachbody Leadership Retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona and I will be getting more information on the workouts, the program, the options, the pricing and of course we will be sampling the workouts while we are there so I can bring you all of the juicy details next week!  Make sure to stay plugged into my instagram and facebook pages for rolling pictures of the event!


Are you READY to CHANGE?
I believe that if you want to change your body, you want to start creating a healthy exercise routine then this is going to be the best way to do it.  Tony Horton is an amazing trainer with an entire team behind his workout philosophy that is tried, tested and true.  I know he presents amazing fitness programs because I have done P90X, P90X2 and P90X3 and there is nothing short of amazing results from them all!



I know for a fact that this is truly going to be a spectacular workout.  I mean, heck you have SERIOUSLY no excuse not to workout.  There is something out there for everyone!  Sometimes we just need a little motivation in order to make it happen!

How Can I Be Sure I Get Results?!

How Do I Make Sure I Am THE FIRST TO GET IT?!?!


I want to make sure that this doesn't become another fitness program that you invest in that sits on your shelf and collects dust.  I want to make sure that when you get the program in the mail, you bust it out, you make a plan and you SUCCEED!  My job as a coach is to be your support system, to help you to decipher the meal plan, to put a list of foods in place, to start together on October 6th and to track our progress, stay accountable, stay motivated and encourage one another to get into the best shape of our lives.




So I am hosting an EXCLUSIVE TEST GROUP where you can get support from a top coach, you can be surrounded by other like minded people, you can enter to win $500 for your transformation and you can get results.




What is a test group?

I will walk you through how to set realistic goals for yourself, how to meal plan, prep, how to set yourself up for success, then each day you log into the group for a post of the day, motivation, recipes and tips.  We will track progress through our online group and you will succeed!  Trust me, if you commit I will meet you half way!  I won't let you give up! Are you ready to put all fears aside and go for it?  What's the worst that can happen? You could lose a few pounds, kick the soda habit and have a ton more energy!  Not so bad, right!!!!  ----->  The TEST GROUP!!!
