Moms Know Best Challenge

MOMS KNOW BEST CHALLENGE GROUP As a busy mom I understand how hard it can be to routinely workout and eat right with such a jam-packed schedule. However, if you want to teach your children how to lead healthy lives, taking care of yourself is essential. I'm starting a challenge with a group of moms with hectic schedules who are all looking to get back in shape. The group is going to incorporate fitness and nutrition, plus peer support with everyone on the same journey together. Best part is, no one needs to leave their home to complete the program. If you're a mom wanting to make a lifestyle change, I strongly encourage you to join us! Message me if you're interested by filling out this application MORE INFO

OMG! Can you believe it's almost May?

Not to sound like a whiney ass, but the past several months have really sucked! Don't get me wrong I know I'm very blessed and there are others who have problems far, far worse than mine, but indulge my pity party for a minute please. Back to the past several months sucking,  Muddpie has been out of work for almost 2 years now, 1 kid moved back home (and him & Muddpie fight constantly), another son is graduating high school, my step-father passed away, work is ridiculously crazy with heavier and heavier patients and less support from management, not to mention turning the BIG 5-0, blah, blah, blah-LIFE, right?

Needless to say my eating has been out of control. Is anyone else feeling my pain? Give the girl a LIKE for "yes".

GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS!
Well for the past 7 weeks I've been doing 22 MHC, but it wasn't until these last 3 weeks that I got serious & began focusing on my nutrition too (plus replacing one meal a day with a nutrition shake). By fine tuning my focus for just that little bit of time I lost 15.3 lbs & 12 inches overall! HOLY CRAP!

I'm so stoked by these results that I'm ready to do another round starting May 9th and I want to share my 4 Steps to Success with you in my complimentary exclusive Facebook Group to help you lose up to 15 lbs in 21 days too!!!

(Neither myself nor Beachbody guarantees a given amount of weight loss or success that all depends on your efforts and your dedication to the program. But all Beachbody programs and Shakeology come with a money back guarantee if you're not 100 percent satisfied with your results!)

**You must sign up for me to be your Free Coach and you must purchase  a Beachbody fitness program & Shakeology in order to participate. (I find when people have "skin in" they work harder to WIN!)**

Love Yourself Skinny (Well Thinner...)

Own the Road! Just what the shirt says it is time to do, if you haven't already done it. Take control of your life and own every wrinkle, every scar, every stretch mark that you've got. Wear them as badges of honor, because you've earned them baby! You've been determined, fearless, strong, relentless, faithful and you've persevered! 

We're taught at a young age to look at ourselves with critical, judgmental eyes and to frown upon every little imperfection. There are creams, make-up, clothing, to cover up things that we see as unsightly and if they are bad enough there are even surgeries to get rid of them once and for all. It has taken me fifty years to realize that I need to love who I am, if I am to ever help anyone else. That is not to say that I won't or shouldn't continue to work on improving my self, my health, my fitness, but my imperfections no longer define me and they will no longer keep me from living the life that I want to live.

Part of the reason I started working out at home was because I was embarrassed to workout at the gym. When I weighed 352 lbs I felt like everyone was looking at me and judging me, then when I lost 175 lbs I still didn't feel comfortable because I would look around and think, "damn it I lost 175 lbs and I'm still the fattest person in here!" So, then I would get depressed and we all know what we do when we're depressed-EAT!

 It was becoming a vicious cycle that I had to stop and working out at home helped me to break that trend. Working out at home also allowed me to get into a solid routine and once working out becomes a habit it is something you can't do without, you actually crave it just like you use to crave the junk food. A good workout gives you energy, clears your mind, helps you focus, keeps your muscles, joints flexible and mobile. Not to mention the cardiovascular and physical strength you get from working out. Plus, working out has many mental health benefits too, check out my post on 10 Reasons Working Out is Good for Your Mental Health .

And last but certainly not least with the purchase of a "Challenge pack" I got a free coach. Have you ever worked with a coach before? I had coaches when I played sports as a kid, but never one who focused totally on me. Having someone to cheer you on, inspire you, support you, and encourage you makes all the difference in the world when it comes to getting the results that you're wanting.


My weight loss has changed my world and improved my quality of life beyond what I could have ever imaged and I want others who suffer from obesity to know that there is HOPE. So, now I'm a coach and as a coach I use my personal experience to help you get started, stay motivated, and get RESULTS! If you're struggling to lose weight, get fit, or just plain get healthy then send me a message and let me tell you all the ways that I can help you get connected with a program that will get you the results that you want. At any age you can be in the best shape of your life. What are you waiting for?! MORE INFO .

10 Reasons Working Out is Good For Your Mental Health

And that's what I want to talk to you about today working out isn't just to help you lose weight it also helps you to feel better. Here's some of the ways that just 30 minutes of working out a day can help improve, not just your physical well being, but your mental health too:

The Master's Hammer and Chisel final week

This is my final week for The Master's Hammer and Chisel program, although I haven't lost all the weight that I wanted to, I'm proud that I finished all 60 days. I absolutely loved the program and I feel so much stronger, like I have more control of my body. The weight part is my own fault, because my eating has been out of control for sometime now, so needless to say I didn't stick to the meal plan like I should have-AGHH!

But I'm no quitter, so with our new Challenge group my goal is going to be to really focus on adhering to the meal plan and making the positive changes to my nutrition that I need to make in order to get the results that I want.

On March 7th we will start our pre season which consists of 1 week of goal setting, pictures, measurements, meal planning and education on the nutritional plan and then the following week is our official day 1.

**For 30 days I will guide you daily through the program of your choice (you can chose from Hammer & Chisel, 21 DF, 21 DFX or Cize) with support, accountability, access to an online/app based closed group for support and guidance. Each participant is required to purchase one of the above listed programs Challenge pack/Program and commit to replacing one meal a day with Shakeology for the duration of the group. **

If you are interested in getting more deets about the program please complete the form below and I will contact you ASAP.

At any age you can be in the best shape of your life. Stop telling yourself, "I'm to old to workout that hard." "I've had a hysterectomy or gone through the "change" so my hormones are messed up and I just can't lose weight." "My thyroid is shot, so I just don't have the energy to workout. I'm just doomed to be fat."

All of that is B.S.!!! To be healthy, fit, and have the active life that you want takes one thing a COMMITMENT from you to make the changes that you need to make in order to get the results that you deserve!

NOW IS YOUR TIME!!! Don't waste another minute being trapped in a body and a life that you're not happy with. I wasted 15 years of my life and now I help others just like you get connected with the program that is right for them and their lives. But it doesn't stop there, once you start your program I'll be there to cheer you on and support you all the way!!!

How To Fill Your Life With Joy and Happiness

Have you ever thought to yourself is this it? Is this as good as it is going to get? 

Everywhere you look the world is filled with sin, sickness, sorrow, and death. Sure there are momentary times of physical pleasures, but they are short lived. How in the world can I live a happy life full of joy? By remembering that this world is NOT your home and that an eternity of happiness and joy awaits you with your heavenly Father.

Of course, we need to endure while we are here and experience joy in the here and now and you do that by taking the focus off of yourself and putting in onto someone else. Stop trying to make yourself happy and start trying to make others happy!

As a Beachbody Coach I get to help others get success with their weight loss and fitness goals. And let me tell you nothing fills me with more joy then when one of my challengers sends me a message excited because they finally started losing weight after years of failing or they can now walk 2 miles or fit into a pair of pants they've been trying to get into for years.

I send out messages of encouragement to my challengers and friends, but I'm the one who gets the blessing when they return with a message, "How did you know I needed this message today! I've been in bed for 3 days, because the depression has been so bad...thank you so much." If you've every thought about being a coach or you're looking for a way to help others then join me tonight for a LIVE Facebook group event for a BACKSTAGE PASS:What is Beachbody Coaching? Comment "I'm In" if you want to be added to the group!!.

How Knowing Your "Why" Can Help You Succeed

         How Knowing Your "why" Can Help You Succeed

                                     How to heal and have a successful weight loss

It's time to take control of your life and step out of the darkness and into the light. You can't heal if you hide whatever is eating at you and causing you to eat.

Many diet or weight loss programs tell you what to eat and how to exercise to lose weight, but still people have trouble losing the weight and keeping it off. On the contrary to popular belief it's not because people who are obese don't want to lose the weight or they have poor self control or they are lazy. The problem is they are never taught to find out "why" they overeat and I was one of those people. I'll spare you the long story of my weight loss journey you can check it out My Weight Loss Story .

wink emoticon

Basically for some of us obesity is the solution, not the problem. We use it as a type of armor to protect ourselves, because "fat" is seen as unattractive in today's society, so people won't be attracted to us. They won't want to touch us or hurt us like they did in the past when we were thinner (attractive). Traumatic childhood events (usually sexual abuse) leads to at least 20%-40% of adult obesity, I'm a member of that 20-40%.(Psychology Today Blog ) I thought that I was well over that, because I had pushed it out of my mind, but the problem was I never had dealt with it, so I continued to hide from it by covering myself in fat.

One lady was quoted as saying, "Overweight is overlooked and that's the way I need to be". When I read that it made everything click for me, because when I lost 175 lbs and reached my goal weight I consciously loved the praise I was getting, but somewhere in the back of my mind there was this little worrier saying "you're to thin it's going to happen again" and I started to gain the weight back little by little. (I did tear a tendon in my hip later that helped with the weight gain). Now I know what the true problem is and it has caused me to be an addict, yes I said addict because that is what I am a Food Addict. But once I figured out my "why" I could deal with the problem and step out of the darkness of my past and into the light of a new day.

 I got connected with a challenge group that supported me and a nutrition program that taught me how to eat, not "diet". And now as a coach I use my personal experience to help others find their "why" and get connected with a program that will help them reach their health and fitness goals for the healthy new life of abundance that God has promised each of us.

Haven't you had enough of being tired and run down all the time? Do you ever look in the mirror and not recognize the person you've become? Do you feel like your life is running you, instead of you running your life? That is exactly how I felt until I discovered why I was overeating and I made the choice to take control of my life.

 If you're ready to start the healing process I'm ready to help!!! Starting 2/15 I will be hosting an online support and accountability weight loss group where we'll dig deep to find out "why" we over eat and "how" we can start healing. This group will be geared towards matching you up with a fitness program and nutrition guide to meet your needs and walk you through the process of changing your unhealthy habits, creating a more positive mindset, embracing your imperfections and kicking the word "diet" to the curb. We are not dieting, we are creating a healthy lifestyle.

When does the group start?

-Monday February 15th, 2016 with a week of plan and preparation and the workouts start the following Monday.

What Do I Need For This Group?

-Each participant is required to have me as their coach. You can create an account HERE

You are required to do a Beachbody fitness program, which I will help you to pick the one that best fits your needs.

You are required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the duration of the 6 weeks because as I am teaching you how to change your eating habits and give you the tools to make this a lifestyle change we want to have at least 1 meal each day that is quick and easy but isn't lacking in your nutritional quality. Shakeology does that! It is my saving grace because quite honestly there are days that I am so busy that I don't have time to make a balanced meal so this is my go to!!! Plus it really does taste awesome!

You are required to log into our online closed Facebook group daily where I am going to share tips, recipes, meal plans, tips to handle eating out, and emotional eating plus improving your body image.

My goal is to get you a program that you are excited about and that you start and complete it. I do not want it to be something that sits on your shelf and collects dust!

Does this sound like something you would like to do?

If so, take the time to complete the application below. I will contact you within 24 hours to discuss whether this would be a good fit! I am accepting a small group of customers for this group and I would love to have some motivated women who are really ready to make a change! lets face it, there will never be a perfect time. The right time is now! So lets get started!

I am NOT going to let you fail! I am giving you my word that I am going to support, guide and help you to truly make a change, have a more positive mindset, let go of the past, and step into your future that is filled with a healthy, happy life of abundance! NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE CONTROL AND TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE!!!

3 TIPS TO KEEP YOU MOTIVATED ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS & FITNESS JOURNEY

YOU ARE WORTH IT! Remember the saying that use to be popular, "God don't make junk" well it's true, but most of us have forgotten or don't believe it applies to us. I'm here to remind you that you are worth the time, money, effort, or whatever else it takes to get healthy so you can live the active, happy life of abundance God has waiting for you. The life you're dreams!

TIPS TO GET STARTED:
1. Get up and get yourself put together. I know it is tempting to stay in your PJs all day when you don't have to go out for anything, especially when it's cold out, but I'm telling you the way you look does effect your mindset and how you feel. You don't have to get all glammed up, but wash your face, comb your hair, put on your workout clothes, so they will remind you to workout, no excuses right?

2. Speak OUT LOUD, before your feet even hit the floor, positive affirmations about your day, your life, and YOURSELF. What you tell yourself over and over and over again will become your reality!

3.FORGIVE YOURSELF for F****** UP This may be the hardest one of all, but the most important one, because it effects all the others. The pictures below are an example of this I reached my goal weight and then after an injury and surgery and other excuses gained almost 75 lbs back. I've since lost 45 of those pounds thanks to the 21 Day Fix​, but I was so angry with myself for gaining the weight back that I couldn't move on. I had to learn to forgive myself and realize that 1st I am a food addict in recovery forever and 2nd this weight loss thing is a journey, not a destination and one that I will be on for the rest of my life.
