Food is my weakness

Have you ever been KILLING it at the gym or doing your own workout program and you wonder WHY you haven't been getting SUPER AWESOME results like you feel you should?  Like, every workout is a full out sweat sesh where you feel like you can take on the world.

welllllll... I'm here to tell you that if you haven't changed your nutrition, then that's probably your problem.

At least, for me, it is.  The first step to fixing a problem you have is admitting to the problem.  I eat junk foods.

You know, I actually do pretty well for the most part.  I eat my fruits and veggies (most of my veggies everyday) but those damn carbs and sweets are what gets me EVERY.TIME.  I don't need sodas.  I can do without fried foods.  I love whole wheat and whole grain anything, so that's not my problem.  It's just I like the carbs too much and instead of getting my suggested 2 servings a day, I can easily eat 5-6 servings.

I'm human, so before you say OH MA GAH, I can't believe you do that.  It's so easy.  If you aren't sure how easy it is, take a food journal of everything you eat daily for a week and you will probably be in for a rude awakening.

So, HOW do we FIX this?  How do we get the AB definition we want, the tummy and arm fat to FINALLY be gone from our bodies?

We HAVE to change our nutrition.

SO, the thing that's helped ME is having an accountability partner.  This can be a friend or family member you've known all along that is RIGHT there with you and needs to change their habits just as bad as you.  OR, it could be through an accountability group, either in person OR online.  You know online is all of the rage now, because it helps connect people from all over the globe who WANT the SAME EXACT THINGS... so in return you get super awesome accountability and supports and then in return, you get the results you wanted.

So, go GRAB an accountability partner!  They help.  I know it, because I've been there.  I NEED accountability partners again.  My family and friends aren't really supporting me to the point they are doing it with me, so I rely on my accountability partners via FaceBook!

I'm about to go back to the basics with my clean eating and nutrition.  Results are 80% nutrition, 20% exercise.  That's CRAZAY!

October Fitness Tips

October is MY FAVORITE month (well, one of my favorite months).

It's officially fall season, filled with pumpkins, cooler weather, football, pumpkin spice lattes, and tons of other goodies.

Also with October is Halloween.  Candy, Costumes, Craziness. 

I don't know about you, but when it comes to chocolate, I'm ALL OVER IT.

How can you resist (even if you aren't that BIG of a fan?)  It's all around you and you just HAVE to eat it!

I get stressed around the Holiday's because of my love of food, and wanting to continue to eat it, and worrying about gaining tons of unwanted lbs. 

What's a girl to do?

I'm so glad that I have my fitness accountability groups online!  They help keep me focused and sane when all I want to do is raid the pantry of all candy and watch re-runs of Halloweentown!

Because of my fitness groups and helping me SO MUCH, I am definitely having them throughout the Holidays.  JUST because we are coming up on Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas does NOT mean you should throw your health to the side! 

I believe you should do something good for yourself and start healthy habits NOW so that they will get you through the Holiday's without gaining 15 lbs!  If you start NOW and rev-up your metabolism and get in the habit of working out regularly, then you will be A-OK to have the Halloween candy, Pumpkin Pie, cheesecake, and cookies during the Holidays (all in moderation---OK, somewhat moderation!)

SO, I'm taking on 5 girls who want to join me on a 30 day journey to jump-start their clean eating and fitness program before we hit the Holidays full force!

My next group starts November 3rd!  Yes, it goes through Thanksgiving, but like I said we will get through it and be FINE!! Trust me!  You'll be glad you did it!

Comment BELOW or add me on FB and send me a message if you are interested in the online fitness accountability group!  I look forward to hearing from you!

Call with Beachbody CEO, Carl Daikeler

Oh EM GEE!

I'm on a call RIGHT now with the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler!

This company is amazing and has changed my life in so many ways.  You know, it's a normal Thursday night when you get to chat with the CEO of one of the top direct selling companies!

I might not be an elite top coach, YET, but they still treat all of us like royalty!

I could never soak up enough information about Beachbody and growing my business!

Have you heard of Beachbody?  Do you know how big of a deal this is?!


Talk to you soon.  I've gotta CEO to chat with!

Fall in the Air

I want to take a moment to STOP and breathe in the fresh air.  It feels so much like FALL, I can almost taste it.

Yes, we are experiencing HOT weather.  Yes, we are getting afternoon thunderstorms.

But, that's not stopping me from dreaming and wishing and hoping for FALL weather, soon!

You see, Fall is my FAVORITE time of the year.  It's something about the crisp, cool air.  It's something about the leaves changing from bright greens to orange, red, and brown.  It's the pumpkins.  It's the football.  It's the apple pie. 

Fall makes me feel like HOME.  It makes me feel comforted.  It makes me feel COMPLETE.

It's also the start of a beautiful, magical holiday season.  Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's.  All within a couple of months we get to experience some of the BEST holiday's.  These are holidays spent with loved ones.  It's a time of celebrating, rejoicing, and having a great time.

Fall is the start of it all.

This year will be extra special.  Fall is the start of the season to which I will get married.  I'll be getting married January 24th (in the winter) but I'll be able to soak in all of the final wedding details and being showered by loved ones. 

Fall is RIGHT around the corner.  It's a beautiful thing!

XO,

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!
