My WHY for being a Team Beachbody Coach

Why would anyone want to be a Team Beachbody Coach aka FITNESS Coach/Mentor if they don't LOVE fitness?

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I will definitely tell you WHY I chose to be a Team Beachbody Coach and WHY I'm going to be a successful one.

When we talk about our WHY's, whether it be for Beachbody, another job, a fitness routine, or school, we talk about what it means DEEP DOWN in our souls our reasoning for doing what we do.  On the BAD days, the HARD days, and the day's you want to just GIVE UP, your WHY will be the reason why you keep going!

So, take a look at this short video I put together.  It explains PERFECTLY what being a Beachbody Coach means to me, my GOALS, and my WHY for being a Team Beachbody Coach!

 



 

Let me know what you think!

My PiYo Journey

Some of you might know if you follow me via Facebook that I have decided to finish PiYo start to finish.

Josh pointed out that I had not finished a program after I finished Insanity (which was crazy insane ;))

So... since he pointed it out, and it WAS a valid point, I decided right then and there that I was going to commit myself to PiYo!

It's Beachbody's brand new program and I had done it off and on, but kept falling back on The 21 Day Fix.

***UPDATE*** on PiYo:

I'm in my 2nd week! I've just finished PiYo Core (the first time I've done this workout in the program) and I'm IN LOVE with the program!

It reminds me of my dancing/ballet days, because I feel so free and so feminine doing the moves, but at the same time, Chalean (the creator of the program) steps it up a few notches and I get an incredible sweat on!

I look forward to my workouts and I can't wait to see my results at the end!

PS- Josh and I took Hudson and Stella out tonight so they could get some exercise.  We have a huge lot next to us and they just cut the grass, so it was a PERFECT spot to let the dogs run loose!

Huddy had a blast playing but Stella preferred chillin' with her Mama!

The 3 reasons why YOU should have a Beachbody Coach!

Hey, loves!

There are so many people who are confused as to whether or not go through a Team Beachbody COACH to purchase Beachbody products OR to order on their OWN through beachbody.com's website!

I put together a short video on my 3 reasons why you SHOULD have a Beachbody Coach!

As an outsider, or someone who has never purchased or used Beachbody products, it IS confusing as to which site to go through, how to order the products, and WHY you should go with a certain one.

I hope this video helps YOU make your decision and let me know if I can help with anything!

Pickling Cucumbers

After I begged and annoyed Josh for a whole year, he finally gave in and gave me what I had always been dreaming of....

A GARDEN!

Wahoo-  It's actually really small and we planted roma tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, banana peppers and watermelon.

If you would see my backyard now, it's 1/2 covered in watermelon vine.  It looks like a forest got sick in my lawn. 

I seriously don't think that my garden could hold the watermelon by itself let alone the cucumbers, tomatoes, and two kinds of peppers.

Whoopsie.  I guess lesson learned and we will note that for next years garden!

But, we did get LOTS of cucumbers!  Thankfully, Josh and I both love them.  We also love pickles.  So, we decided to give at home canning a shot. 

The first batch of pickles were ready this past Sunday and they are GOOD!!

Nom. Nom. Nom.!

What's your favorite fresh garden vegetable?

Do you like canning?

Maid to Perfection

A couple of weeks ago, my Brides(maids), my Mom and Aunt all got together for a "Maid to Perfection Party".

If you don't know what that is then I'm about to tell you!  It's a "PARTY" that my local bridal store Voila hosts for the bride and her maids to come together for a chance to select the bridesmaids dresses!  It's filled with champagne, cupcake, munchies, and lots of dresses!

All of my maids (minus 2) were able to come and we had a GREAT day!

Before the party we had a luncheon at Fin-N-Filet.  The same restaurant will host my bridal luncheon the day of the wedding!

Eek--- TODAY is officially 6 months until WEDDING day!

Sorry, I got a little side-tracked.

Here are some pictures from the luncheon and Maid to Perfection Party!

 

The two most important ladies in my life.  My Sister and Mom.

 My day wouldn't be complete without my Cousin, Caroline!

 

 

 

My soon to be "sister in love" Julia

My Idol and Mama!

 

Hope you enjoy the review and pictures!

Simple Things in Life

What makes you happy in life?

You could answer this with: family, friends, money, your spouse, children, etc.  OR you could answer with all of the above.

I tend to get so focused on the BIG PICTURE that I don't sit back and think about the small things, the SIMPLE things in life. 

For instance, last night, I decided to take a WALK around the neighborhood.  I wanted to get out and exercise.  I wasn't focused on running or jogging (something that is NOT my favorite), but rather on soaking up the outdoors. 

I LOVED it.  It felt so relaxing.  I listened to music and just took in the sights from around the neighborhood.  An older gentleman was out front taking in some fresh air and cars were coming in from their evening festivities.

Like I said, I tend to think about the BIG things in life--- how I will be able to provide for my future children, how I'll be able to purchase my dream home,  how I'll retire.

These things are all GREAT and I believe in dreaming BIG and mapping out a plan for your future.

But... we must take in the simple things NOW before they are gone! 

Today, I encourage you to....

 

XO,

High Five! It's Friday!

I want to devote this post to my Friday and for what's ahead for the weekend!  I have a FEW busy, fun, and EXCITING weekends ahead and this one kicks it off and I could NOT be any more excited!

First off--- TODAY I got up at 5:15 AM (It's not easy) and did a 21 Day Fix Total Body Cardio Workout.  If you haven't heard of The 21 Day Fix, then check it out HERE.  It's my soul mate workout.  It's my favorite.  I love it.  The end.

I knew I needed to workout this morning because TONIGHT I'm heading Uptown Greenwood to check out the Festival of Discovery that comes to town every year.  It's a huge BBQ Festival and it's always a fun time!  I'm preparing myself in advance for all of the yumminess I'm sure to eat tonight... I'm going to try to keep it as clean as possible.. promise ;)

Saturday--- ALL of my maids (except for one- we will miss you Jessica) are coming to town for a Maid to Perfection Party!   The bridal shop, (Voila!), that I got my dress from hosts these super awesome parties for the bridesmaids to come and try on and get fitted for their dresses.  This will be the first time all of my maids are together at the same time and I can't WAIT to see them! It's been awhile since I've seen some of them!

Stay tuned for updates from the Maid to Perfection Party!  I hope to get a post up by Sunday with all of the details (at least the details I can spill ;))

Have a GREAT weekend!  XO,
