Here is one of my fav Mexican dishes! Its super easy to make and is just as good the next day! I tend to use left over chicken to make this a quick and easy meal on the nights I don't want to cook! Give it a try & let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 lb. boneless, skinless COOKED chicken breasts cut into 1" cubes
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
1 cup frozen corn (fresh works too!)
14 oz can of black beans, drained & rinsed
14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 tsp taco seasoning (homemade recipe here)
1 large zucchini, diced
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (optional - I didn't use this!)
Directions:
1. Preheat large deep skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. Add onion and garlic, saute until tender. Add bell pepper and saute for a few additional minutes until onions are translucent. Add in chicken and stir to combine.Sprinkle with cumin, salt and black pepper. Allow to cook for a few minutes to heat up the chicken.
2. Add corn, beans, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Add zucchini and stir. Sprinkle with cheese, cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Top with green onions and cilantro. Serve hot, on its own or with brown rice.
Additional Toppings: Sour Cream (Plain Greek Yogurt), Avocado. Can also serve in tortillas!
Store leftovers in refrigerator covered for up to 3-4 days.

Life is Too Short
π±Life is too short to do the things you hate.
π±Life is too short to care about what other people think.
π±Life is too short to not live out your dreams.
π±Life is too short to not take a chance on something that could change your life.

Guys-- LIFE to way too short. Stop being miserable day in and day out. Whether it's at that job you hate or being around people who don't lift you up and/or support you.
.
You don't have to quit today or stop talking to those people BUT start putting a plan together to remove yourself from those situations.
.
Pay attention to what you are MOST happy doing and go for it. Your dreams are ONLY possible if you take a chance on them.
Be strong. Be brave. Be EXCITED.

I'm Running...
My running career reminds me so much of the journey you take when you take a risk & go after your dreams.
.
The first stage- starts off being AWESOME! You are filled with accomplishment that you did it and are proud for taking that LEAP of faith. I can remember my first 5K! It was one of the BEST feelings in my life to finish that race.
.
The second stage- is when that honeymoon feeling starts to wear off. You find yourself facing obstacles and people challenging you. For me, it was when Owen needed me from 4-6am when I'd normally go running. It was a few months later when my knee started to hurt & having to overcome that.
.
The third stage- Finally reaching your overall goal. OH THE FEELING of insane accomplishment when I finished the OKC 1/2 Marathon- I was so filled to the brim with happiness and feeling proud that I actually did it that I almost started to cry.
.
That cycle is EXACTLY what you face when you take the leap and do something you've always wanted. My running journey is the SAME rollercoaster ride that *coaching* has me going through.
.
Don't get it twisted- every obstacle, very complication, EVERY. SINGLE. bump in the road has been 110% worth it.
.
WHY?
.
Because I've grown SO much. I've become a better person. I FEEL stronger mentally and I've overcome things I never thought possible.
.
Coaching and running for me go hand in hand. I'll keep fighting for my dreams. I'll keep pushing to the next level & I won't quit just because things get hard.
.
I'm running so I can cross the finish line of the Route 66 Marathon.
I'm running for financial freedom.
I'm running to be the BEST person possible & to create a future that I can be proud of.
I'm running for those people who need support and accountability.
I'm running for & with our amazing team of coaches.
.
I KNOW what I'm running for & I'll be here for anyone who wants to run with me.

This is why.
This is why I am a coach.
Real talk for a second ->>
If I wasn't a coach- I'd have to start looking for 9-5 jobs next year about this time because all 3 of our kids will be ready for school in the fall. I'd have to take time AWAY from my kids & our household because living on one salary is hard. Because my student loans are well into the 60k's. I'd have to worry about PICK UPS & DROP OFFS, SICK DAYS and SCHOOL VACATIONS.
If I wasn't a coach- I wouldn't be in the best shape of my life & I wouldn't have met some of the most empowering, inspiring women I know today.
If I wasn't a coach- I wouldn't be able to help other women find their happiness and confidence again. I wouldn't have this platform to do something I LOVE with products that WORK. No quick fixes here->> it's still the good ol' clean eating and working out but in a way that is manageable and time efficient.
So YES- I do talk about how COACHING completely changed my life and will continue to positively change our future. I do INVITE others to simply take a look at what coaching is.
WHY?
Because I know that there are people out there longing to be stay at home moms or looking for a solution so they can continue to stay at home or pay off serious debt so their future family won't be drowning in it.
& I KNOW that this opportunity can give that to them if they are willing to work hard and help others. It's most certainly not just about the money- that's an amazing perk- it's about doing something that MATTERS and being a part of a community that EMPOWERS and SUPPORTS you. It's about the sisterhood we have.
THATS WHY I COACH & THATS why I share it.
