My Journey Overcoming Life's Challenges

I’ve been meaning to write this post but have been putting it off for two weeks.  2015 left me emotionally and physically DRAINED!  I had put my business on the back burner, received a promotion at work and lost my grandmother to aggressive lung cancer.

The loss of my grandmother SHOOK my WORLD.  I thought watching the loss of previous grandparents would prepare me for witnessing the loss of my mother’s mother.  What I didn’t realize is that this time it was different.  I was an adult.  There were more memories and as an adult our minds tend to run wild and our emotions wreak havoc.

Fall For You February Fitness Challenge

The holidays have faded and the New Year has begun.  I've been thinking LONG and HARD about how I'm feeling as I am working towards my new goals for the 2016 year.

I feel like I could use a little EXTRA accountability and motivation from some friends!  February 1st, I'll be starting my Fall for You February Fitness Challenge!  

The focus of this group will be surrounded by the usual motivation, accountability and support you receive from my traditional challenge groups, however, we will be focusing on positive thinking and falling IN LOVE with ourselves.

LIVE-Meal Prep 01/10/2016

So I have been meal prepping LONG before becoming a Beachbody Coach.  I would sit down each weekend and thinking about what I wanted to consume for the next week.  

Doing this EACH weekend has not only helped me in making healthier meal choices it's also helped me in spending LESS money going out to eat!  I've taken some extra steps to save money and time since; check out 5 Easy Tips to Eating Healthy on a Budget to learn more about those extra money saving tips.

New Year, New You

A NEW year means a NEW me!  I've set some pretty intense and up there goals for the 2016 year!  Some are fitness related while MOST are not!  My goals for the 2016 year are setting the bar rather HIGH and I'm ready to WORK WORK WORK to get there!

With setting new goals and dreaming new dreams I'm EAGER and SUPER excited to also be helping other people in reaching their goals too!  Again, health and fitness related and NOT.  

We're more likely to REACH our goals by supporting, working and encouraging one another TOGETHER!  

5 Tips on Finding the Right Protein

Sometimes the convenience of an on-the-go meal is needed.  Whether you're a busy mom, a devout student or simply just don't feel like cooking (we've all been there), we need something QUICK and EASY!

Most of the time some will pull into a nearby drive-thru and regret it moments later.  Some of us depend on a protein or meal replacement shake for this EXACT reason.  I've heard a lot of debate on whether shakes are a smart choice.  Rather than pushing you in either direction I prefer to GUIDE you towards what's right for YOU.
