January 4th NEW YEAR NEW YOU Online Health and Fitness Mentorship Program

NEW YEAR NEW YOU— ARE YOU READY FOR A CHANGE?

Can you believe that Christmas is almost here? It is my all time favorite time of the year, but I know that it can really start to take a toll on mental and physical wellness! Stress creeps in whether it be because of finances, time to get everything done or the fact that a lot of people slack on fitness and nutrition because the emotions are all over the place. No matter what the circumstances- this is your time to commit to making 2016 your year to shine! The possibilities of the new near are endless! What do you have planned? Are you ready to take control of 2016? 

I have been planning my new year fitness challenge group for weeks! I am putting whole new dynamic on it this year and I can’t wait to help other reach their health and fitness goals! This is my passion and I can’t wait to see and hear the results! But first, I have to fill it up!! So, I am inviting YOU to be a part of this exclusive challenge group! Think of where you could be in one year from now with some consistency, handwork and dedication! Let’s set and reach some goals!

What in the heck is a health and fitness challenge group?   

    It is a program that I’ve created specifically to help my clients reach their own personal health and fitness goals.  It is a small group setting that will offer support, guidance, motivation, meal planning, workouts and so much MORE! Don’t fall into the ‘norm’ of New Year’s Resolutions!! I don’t want to hear the cliche’ “I’m going to start on Monday” or “I’m going to lose weight this year” of “I’m going to the gym everyday” and really… the list goes ON! Why wait until Monday? Do it NOW!! This is a perfect way for you to say “I’m going to make a CHANGE this year starting TODAY” and I will hold you accountable to that statement!  I want you to be a winner! I want you to succeed! Is change hard? ABSOLUTELY!! Can you do it?? YES! WITHOUT A DOUBT!

Without the support of a fitness challenge group this is more than likely what will happen—> You start on January 1st (because that is when everyone is getting fit and healthy!) and you go STRONG! You give it your ALL!! You’re eating clean, hitting the gym 6 days a week…You’re on a roll!!! But then, January 25th rolls around and it is really cold out and you start to hit snooze a few extra times because your bed is so warm and comfy! You talk yourself right out of getting up to go to the gym.. you’ll “WORKOUT LATER…” Well, later doesn’t come! Then 6 days a week of hitting the gym becomes more like 2 or 3 days a week… and those salads that you were eating for lunch everyday— well, the pizza in the break room seems so much more appealing… AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT…. POOF.. THE ENERGY IS GONE!!!

I’ve been there!!! I was the one who paid for the gym membership because I ‘was going to go’ and I would go and buy fruits and veggies, but then they would go bad before I ate them. I would workout just fine. I never had a problem with getting out and working out or getting a workout in at home.. but nothing was what getting me results that I wanted. WELL.. it was because I really was not working hard! I was working out hard, yes... but then I would go through taco bell drive thru or grab  starbucks and donut while I was out shopping... Once I cleaned up my diet and really started to eat whole foods... it was amazing how my body started changing!!! So I want to help you do the same!!

 So… first of all DO NOT GO AND BLOW YOUR MONEY ON A GYM MEMBERSHIP!!! It will not give you the results that you want because you will have no accountability to stick with it! And face it.. it is not easy to make up your own schedule of workouts to delver awesome results!  I love Beachbody because I know that the workouts are designed to give me results and there is an option for every person whether you are beginning to workout for the first time or you are a freakin’ workout PRO!!  There are programs that will have you lifting weights heavy and hard 6 days a week, there are workouts that are less than 30 minutes 5 days a week and there are some dancy workouts that will have you jammin’ in your living room!!  I can pretty much guarantee that I can get you any program that you could think of and you will get results and meet your fitness/nutrition goals!!

 What I tell all of my challengers is this— working out is a must! Working out is FUN! I promise you, if you aren’t having fun during a workout.. then it’s not the right one for YOU!! You have to look forward to exercise!!! It’s a key of success! And along with the workouts— you MUST concentrate on NUTRITION!! Nutrition is 80% of your results.. Cold. Hard. Fact! You can do Insanity all day long, but if you are not properly fueling your body… you will not have the results that you are looking for, PERIOD! I lived for YEARS thinking that I would never have defined abs, that my butt would ‘never’ lift and that I would never have great biceps… it was all in my ‘GENES’ that I could never ‘look that way!’ Well— I’m here to tell you that YES YOU CAN!! It’s all about your nutrition! FUEL FOR YOUR BODY!! My results were amazing after I started to replace my cold cut sandwiches with some grilled chicken over a bed of lettuce,  when I cut out the waffles for breakfast and started eating oatmeal and really started adding whole foods to my diet! My abs started to define within a week! YES.. a WEEK!

So, one of my jobs in this challenge group is to teach you how to EAT PROPERLY!! And EAT I do! I eat every 2 1/2-3 hours! I pack away some FOOD and I AM SO FIT AND HEALTHY! That is what we are going to do for YOU!! It is NOT A DIET! I am going to teach you how to create a healthy LIFE!!

Clean Eating

One more KEY INGREDIENT to being a part of my challenge group is SHAKEOLOGY! Stop right there— it is NOT a weight loss drink! It is a TOTAL meal replacement. It is literally one thing that keeps me full, it tastes GREAT, it is the best ‘grab and go’ food that I have and it is definitely the most nutritious! It is honestly equivalent to eating 6 salads a day.. and it is all in one glass.  I make sure to always have a packet on me because there are those days as a busy mom where we forget to eat, or we are out running errands and all that is around are drive thrus… well, I drink my Shakeology and it makes me feel so much better!  I know that McDonalds nuggets would NOT make me feel good and I don’t know about you, but they are NOT THAT GOOD! Shakeology is worth the money I spend because it not only keeps me healthy, but my kids as well. I drink it every single day and I also give it to my kids almost everyday too. My husband drinks his for breakfast every single mooring and although I am at my goal weight, I still drink it because it is full of nutrients and I just eat enough calories to sustain my weight! WIN WIN!

You will get full access to a closed online accountability group.   This is a great part— with this you will get 24/7 access to me as your coach!  With my curriculum I will have daily assignments, motivational tips, recipes, meal plans readily available and so much more. Every challenger will start their workout on the same day and we will go 60 days STRONG.  Each day you will have information from ME to keep you going STRONG! I will not allow you to fail!! I will teach you how to LIVE your life so it doesn’t revolve around food and a scale! That is no way to live!! I will not only help to keep you accountable, but I will teach you how to handle yourself at family gathers where there will be a lot of food, I will teach you how to overcome cravings, how to get your kids to eat healthy, how to ’trick’ them into liking something and SO MUCH MORE!! All that I ask is that you commit to the program and FINISH IT!! You must check in each day (takes like 2 seconds peeps!) and just post how you did for the day! Easy peasy!

Does this sound like it is for you?? Are you ready to make a change? No more quick fixes? No more diets? Let’s start to make the change!! It’s all about working from the inside to the out!!

Definitely get the Les Mills Combat and Pump if you are even slightly considering it! These programs are going to be discontinued in the Beachbody collection and once they are gone they are gone forever!!!  Don't delay bc it will sell out fast!

Brazil Butt Lift and P90X2 are great workouts! They are challenging, it works your core, it gives you more strength and stability and I love that it works multiple muscle groups at the same time!  Honestly, when I did these programs I totally toned and trimmed up my mid section!!  

The ankle weights I use all the time!  I use them when I did Brazil Butt Lift and I use them with Pilates in the 21 Day Fix.  It definitely adds more resistance and makes the workouts more challenging!

Everything on this list is great!!!!  Think gifts for FATHERS DAY, think birthday presents or Christmas presents! Especially the Beachbody Apparel is great for the person who loves the workouts or is a coach!

You can't go wrong!  But honestly it does sell out fast!

From A Stay At Home Mom To A Leader And Mentor

Happy Tuesday!!  The kids are still in bed and I just finished my 21 Day Fix workout.  I'm sitting here checking in with my groups and responding to my emails.  I came across a few emails this week that have totally changed my perspective of what I do. 

I was thinking about the past 2 years and what they have looked like.  I mean have you ever really just sat and reflected on how your life has changed?  So I started out as a woman who had 2 kids and felt disgusting in her skin.  I was not 'big' in the eyes of most. I was in the process of losing about 10 pounds to feel comfortable with my 'weight' but I was also depressed, miserable and just unhappy with my life as a whole. But WHY?! My husband is great, I was blessed with two beautiful babies, I was a stay at home mom and I should have been counting my blessings... but I wasn't. Stress and overwhelm were all that I could think about.

I mean seriously how many of you can relate to that?!?!  I had always been active. I always worked out, but my CONSISTENCY had been seriously lacking....NORMAL AGAIN right?!?!  

But this time- I decided to go all in- choose a program, not skip a day, pair it with Shakeology and eating better and BAM.... my life started to change. Little by little.

 The majority of people who start a fitness program do not finish it!  So what was different?!  It was the SUPPORT of the new friends I was making with challenge groups, it was my DECISION to change more than I wanted to stay the same- it was my MINDSET because I was surrounding myself with like minded people!  It was like a lightbulb moment for me.  Seriously how could I not shout this from the roof tops at how down right amazing this program was!

Well, there is a way to do that.  It's called becoming a Beachbody Coach.  I will not lie, I remember sitting on the couch watching the "What is a Beachbody Coach" thinking that this is to good to be true.  This is just one of those 'scams' that we hear about- right? No way could people really build a business- from home- with their kids (if they have any)- with or without a college degree- with or without any background in health and fitness... and the list goes on. It took me almost 5 weeks to DIVE IN. I kept saying 'yeah... I will do it" But then- I was just on the fence and honestly- too lazy to get up to get my purse to grab my credit card out! BUT-- guess what? In reality, it is true and it is totally good! I am PROOF. 

I brainstormed all the ways that I could help other people get the same results that I had.  I was beyond excited to get started with helping others.  I KNEW that if I was a product of the product. If I was the EXAMPLE for others, then I could FOR SURE HELP others do the same thing.

The one thing I will note is that when I started coaching I was not at my goal weight, I had no idea what social media was or even where the heck to find a facebook group.  But I jumped feet first and decided that I would take it one day at a time and I would  make my focus on helping other people.  I will also add this- I was in it because I knew that I had to help change my family. My husband and I had debt stacked against us and we had creditors calling us because we weren't paying our bills on time. We don't even know how it happened- but we were drowning and we had to do something. I saw this as an OPPORTUNITY to do something that I was passionate about and earn an income. I remember thinking "WHY NOT ME?" 

So this brings me to the point of this blog post.  Two years later after pretty much dedicating myself to helping other people get results I have achieved some pretty significant milestones in the Team Beachbody business.  I earned the Success Club Trip for my husband and I to Cancun, Mexico this past April,  I have attended one coach summit and I will be attending my second on next month, I have attended an all expense paid Leadership Retreat in Scottsdale, AZ, I spoke to over 300 coaches at a leadership training in Pittsburgh, PA this past January, I have helped launch several Elite Training systems with the #1 coach in the network and I have been a guest speaker on several Elite Training Webinars for our company. I am an Elite Coach, I am currently ranked the  #1 COACH in the state of Mississippi, I am ranked the #79 coach out of 270,000 + coaches and I am a 7 star diamond coach.  I am a wife, mom, daughter, friend and a typical house wife who had a dream of doing something extraordinary.  I have the same 24 hours in my day that you have, I just have mastered the art of multitasking, prioritizing (although not always good) and staying focused on my goals.

So this week.. my next big NEWS is that when I was asked to speak at our COACH SUMMIT IN NASHVILLE next month I was pumped! I will be standing on a stage in front of over 1,000 people teaching, talking and hopefully INSPIRING others with my STORY. I used to say 'I'm just a mom' but I changed that mindset once and for all. WE ALL HAVE A STORY. WE ALL HAVE A PURPOSE. WE ALL CAN ACHIEVE GREATNESS!!!  I have gone from a 2 star diamond to 7 star diamond in the past year!  Pretty exciting stuff!!!  Words cannot describe how PROUD I am of my Legacy United coaches and all of their success as well!  I feel that creating a systematic approach to growing your business is a key to success.

So I'm here today to share with you my top tips.  

Below is my presentation for you to listen to and share!!!  

1. Start Now vs. Someday- Every single thing I have done as a coach I was not ready to do.  I started my first group before I had my posts ready, I advertised before I had my first customers. I ran my own challenge group before I was at my personal weight loss goal.  I had no idea where I was going but I just went for it and figured it out along the way.  You don't have to have a perfect blog, like page or body before you become a coach.  Part of the excitement is sharing your story as you go!  You don't have to see the whole staircase you just have to see the first step! That is it!!!  If you have a great idea, just do it!!!
2. Research and take initiative- As a new coach I didn't have all the answers.  I didn't know anything about social media, facebook, blogging, tweeting, Instagram or hashtags.  Heck I didn't even know what a facebook group was.  But instead of sitting here using my lack of knowledge in social media as a reason not to be successful I took initiative to find out more.  The most successful coaches don't wait for someone to tell them what to do, they just do it!  The speed of the leader is the speed of the pack!  If you want your own future team to grow and blossom then you be that example.  
3. Always self evaluate yourself.  Do people know the real you, the struggles, triumphs, what I do to maintain my fitness and nutrition?  If something isn't working, re-evaluate and try again.  Always share your healthy lifestyle vs selling it!  Always ask yourself if you are living the life you want others to live as well.
4. Leadership is not a sprint it's a marathon- Being a leader does not happen over night.  Being a leader is sometimes painful, scary and hard.  Being a leader takes time, energy and perseverance   Being a leader means that you lead with excitement and passion even on days when you do not feel like it.  Being a good leader is always improving yourself.  The one thing that I live by is this, "Never build a business so that you can be better than someone else, build a business and create a huge life so that you can help others more!!!

So be fearless, follow your heart, lead with passion.  If you do those things others will follow you and you will naturally rise to the top!!!

SO MUCH FLAVOR!! And this is out of this world amazing!!!

Try it and let me know what you think!

21 Day Fix Grocery List

I am SO in love with the 21 Day Fix Meal plan!! It's my new go to guide when it comes to meal planning each week. I really love the WHOLE PROGRAM! It is GENIUS!!! 

I love the containers-- it is totally fool proof! Fill it up and eat it! 

I love how they are color coded for each food group! No questions asked! It is just easy!

I love that you know exactly how much to eat of each food with out even trying. 

No calorie counting

No guessing

I love the workouts

I love that they are short

I love that they work the entire body

So .. that MIGHT sum it up ... but not really!! 

I mostly love that my challengers are FINALLY finding something that works and getting AMAZING results all while learning how to properly fuel their bodies. 

I have been following the fix meal plan for a month now and I can tell you that I don't even have to use the containers most days. I can pretty much eyeball how much of each food group I'm suppose to have. It's become a HABIT and something that I just do and follow. 

I love how I didn't really have to change much to the clean eating plan that I already follow but It really let me zero in on how many portions of each food group that I needed to have daily. I still have a complex carb and protein with every meal. 

When I head to the grocery store every week I pretty much have the same things on my list. No, they aren't always used for the same meals but normally the same ingredients are used and mixed around to make various meals. There are a list of foods that are approved on the 21 day fix and most of them are what I was already currently eating so it made things pretty simple. I can't tell you exactly what to buy but I can give you a good idea of what you should see in your cart each week. 

Proteins (RED)

Lean chicken breast

Pork Tenderloin

Flank steak

Eggs

Lean ground turkey

Salmon/Tilapia

Plain greek yogurt

Organic veggie burgers

Protein powder

Turkey Meat, Ham, and Turkey Bacon are on the list. I do enjoy Turkey bacon at least once a week with my breakfast but it's not something that I would include in your diet daily. It's higher in sodium and your body will retain water. So I try and stay away from these things. 

Healthy Fats (BLUE) 

Avocado (I love the mini wholly guacamole, perfect size for the blue container) 

Raw unsalted nuts (I like almonds and walnuts) 

All natural Peanut Butter

Hummus

Feta

Extra virgin olive oil

Coconut oil

I do have to say this is the category that I found I was eating way to much of. I really really love my peanut butter, hummus and avocado. I would eat all of these in one day and it was one of the main factors holding me back from progress. YES they are healthy but having to much of a good thing CAN hurt you. That's what I love about this plan. You can be a beginner or a pro clean eater but you are still going to learn something. I've eliminated a lot of dairy from my diet and i've noticed less bloating and stomach pains. 

Fruit (PURPLE)

Berries (my favorite strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries) 

Orange

Apple

Grapes

1/2 Banana 

Watermelon

Kiwi

Limes/Lemons for flavor in water or on fish. 

Try and watch your sugars when it comes to fruit. If you are really wanting to shed weight or only have a little bit to lose. Stay away from Grapes, Mangos, and Banana's. Those are higher in Sugar and Banana's are high in starch. This is a hard one for me because I love fruit but I promise the minute you make these small changes you will see those changes you have been wanting to see. Also try and have your fruits earlier in the day. 

Vegetables (GREEN)

Baby Spinach Leaves

Broccoli

Aspragus

Green beans

Carrots

Cucumbers

Tomatoes

Celery

Peppers 

Onions

Squash

No CORN is not a vegetable people!!! It's a STARCH! Stay away from it. 

Complex Carbs 

Yams or Sweet Potatoes 

Back Beans

Pinto Beans 

Quinoa 

Brown Rice

Rolled Oats (NOT INSTANT) 

Ezekiel Bread

Whole Wheat Tortilla

Brown Rice Cake 

Here are a list of things that I frequently use:

Chia seeds

Unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Mrs. Dash seasonings (salt free) 

Raw honey

Cinnamon

Garlic 

Seltzer Water 

Green tea
