Nothing beats hard work and consistency.

So the only way to get Owen to sleep in his own bed is to lay down with him until he passes out. It's so strange because I love that time. Number 1 it gives me and O time alone to chat for second and cuddle- he's my love bug 😍! But number 2 I love it because it gives me quite time to reflect once our convo dies down.
.
Tonight, I was thinking about how simple everything becomes with you just make a decision and go for whatever it is that you want.
.
In my business it's 100% possible for anyone to succeed- in all honesty. The behaviors are simple and easy to do but the part where most people get stuck is the CONSISTENCY part. Those actions only work if you do them every day and that is not always easy.
.
HOLY COW-- you could work your coaching biz for 2-3 hours per day & create an amazing solid biz that could replace your current income and bring you HOME or dig you out of that mountain of debt! I've seen it happen!
.
It's dedication. It's knowing what you want and going for it. It's being driven and willing to do what it takes. It's not ever giving up. It's taking a chance and believing in yourself.
.
For so long I've felt so unworthy of success. I've felt scared of failing and looking like a fool. Ive watched others fly by me because my foot is jammed on the breaks without even realizing it. In the end, I sabotaged myself and pooped out on my goals.
.
Well, it stops here. I WILL make it & my amazing team will be right beside me. I will pay off our/my debt. I will not sit and wonder "what if" ever again.
.
Gosh, life is just too short to not go for it, to pull others up along the way and feel incredibly blessed to be able to live another day.

New Beginnings... COUNTRY HEAT- Week 1.

Ah this week has been so crazy that I totally forgot to update you all on the NEW program I'm starting!! A few weeks back I was talking a lot about a dance cardio routine to country music, called Country Heat and the opportunity you all had to join my Exclusive Test Group!!

WELL, on Monday we kicked off that group with over 25 women from around the country!! It has been such an amazing journey and one that I am so excited to share with you! 

First up- what does my nutrition plan look like?! 

I don't know if you know this or not BUT your nutrition plays 80% into weight loss or any other kind of results you may want to achieve. SO what you put into your body is SO important!! Below is my meal plan for this week- its SUPER simple and I mainly eat the same things each day but vary dinner. I find that the easier my meal plan, the easier it is to follow through. 

My starting point...

I'm really not super proud of this. These last few months have been pretty hard on me with my IT Band injury then traveling for the past 2 weeks. I can honestly say that my fitness level has not dipped, other than when I hurt my leg - still did upper body work-, and clearly it didn't make up for my awful eating. Its a simple case and point to what I said above. I am not making excuses, I know it sounds like that, I am simply letting you know what happened. I KNOW life happens and things don't always go as planned. Whats important is that we get BACK on track and not worry about what happened in the past!

Here are my accountability/goodbye/BEFORE pictures...

I am SO pumped up to do this program and really see what it can do! I mean, if I can get back into shape by DANCING-- oh GOSH! Can you imagine the possibilities?! 

If you want to continue to follow my journey with weekly meal plans, updated pics & my review of the week be sure to hit the subscribe button!! 

Also- don't be afraid to reach out if you had a question or looking for more details on how to join me!! Just fill out the form and I'll be in touch!

What does your future look like?

When I became a stay at home mom over 7 years ago the hardest part for me was letting go of being in control of my future. All of a sudden I went from working 40+ hours a week to depending on my boyfriend {now husband} to fully support us. It felt like my future rested in his hands.
.
As the years went on, I always wanted a job to help our growing family but the pull to stay home was much stronger. I wanted to be there for our children in a way that our parents couldn't.
.
So, I sacrificed having a career for them because in the end- they are what matter most, they come first and my husband was happy to keep me home.
.
Then a little over 2 years ago I was introduced to coaching. At first I just wanted to get back into shape and feel comfortable in my own skin but that quickly changed when I started to see amazing results & found out that I could help others do the same.
.
Since then Coaching has given me so much more than just a physical transformation after three babies.
.
It's given me a passion for helping others, a group of women who empower, mentor & support me, a growing team, a home based business I feel proud of, and the ability to help my family financially without ever having to leave them.
.
It completely wiped away everything I may have sacrificed so long ago.
.
If it wasn't for this opportunity, I don't know where we would be. My family is so involved in this that together we have become healthier, happier and filled with whole hearted passion and motivation.
.
Next Monday I'm hosting a 3 day •Reality of a Coach• Sneak Peek hosted right here on FB. You will learn everything from what we do as a coaches to how to earn and everything in between. Nothing is left out- nothing sugar coated.
.
I'm looking to link arms with other women who are ready for more, who are driven and passionate about creating a future for themselves and their family. If you are interested simply shoot me a message or drop a comment below to be added.

Coming Soon: Country HEAT!!

So I LOVE country music. Its like one of those childhood things. I can remember riding in my dads pick up jamming out to Grath Brooks and Travis Tritt. I love it and I still listen to it.

BUT I'm sure your wondering WHY I would be telling you that..

WELLLLLLL Beachbody is releasing a BRAND NEW program and I'm SO excited to share it with you!

GET ready to DANCE YOUR HEART OUT to some butt kickin' country music!!

WHAT IS COUNTRY HEAT? 

COUNTRY HEAT is a HIGH-ENERGY, LOW-IMPACT cardio dance workout that is designed to help you reshape your body, lose weight AND lose inches in 30 days.

Country Heat makes it fun and easy to get fit without equipment or needing any prior experience! It was designed by Autumn Calabrese, the creator of the 21 Day Fix & 21 Day Fix Extreme!! She is a celebrity fitness trainer, professional dancer, AND nationally ranked bikini competitor. In short---SHE KNOWS HER STUFF and she KNOWS how to give YOU the results you are looking for. 

WHAT MAKES IT EFFECTIVE?

This program combines a simple, straight forward portion controlled nutrition system with fun, high energy DANCE workouts to create one KILLER plan that everyone can use.

**5 HIGH-ENERGY dance workouts and 1 Dance Conditioning workout that will give you the calorie-burning benefits of cardio while using every muscle in your body to fire up your metabolism and get the DEFINITION that you want. 

**No complicated moves or memorization---just follow along and move your body for 30 minutes

**No weights or equipment necessary

**Portion-control container system and nutrition guide to MAXIMIZE your results. 

When you can combine HAVING FUN & FITNESS, I believe that you will get the best results without even realizing your are exercising!!

WHO IS COUNTRY HEAT FOR? 

COUNTRY HEAT is for ANYONE on ANY fitness level!!! 

You don't have to be a good dancer (I may be the worst dancer EVER but I still plan on rocking out to this program). Autumn designed this program for those who can't!! You just follow along and move your body to GET RESULTS!! 

If you are wanting to lose weight--this is a PERFECT PLACE TO START. As far as nutrition goes, this program is a GAME CHANGER. Like the 21 day fix, it follows an EASY TO USE portion control nutrition system to help you eat the right amount of food so you will reach your goals faster!! Combining cardio dance moves PLUS the nutrition plan- you have a major calorie burning workout that will give you AMAZING results in just 30 days. 

If you want to just let loose, relieve some stress, and dance your heart out by following along to high-energy music without memorizing complicated moves, then this will be PERFECT for you! 

MAYBE you are (like me) a COUNTRY MUSIC LOVER and you want to get a good sweat on while rocking out to some of the #1 songs in country music out there!!!!

COUNTRY HEAT TEST GROUP RESULTS

BEFORE Team Beachbody launches every new program to the public, a few of our coaches participate in a BETA TEST round!! It is amazing how much this program helped these ladies! 

Check out  their results and what they had to say--

Stephanie C. lost 11 pounds and 14 inches in 30 days with Country Heat. She loved how fun the workouts were, and how she looked forward to doing them each day – she says that’s what got her results! 

She said, “I did not expect to get such drastic results from such a low-impact dance program. It doesn’t matter if you dance, if you like country music, if you are a girl, a guy, an athlete or not: absolutely everyone can get a kick out of Country Heat. Just try it! The music is addicting, the dance moves are fun and easy, and you will lose weight. I’ve been an athlete my whole life and have tried every high-impact program out there. The difference with Country Heat is the low-intensity workouts are fun and keep me coming back. The results are a leaner, toned figure and I love it.”

Lisa L. lost 18 pounds and 9.75 inches in 30 days with Country Heat. She was able to use the modifier when necessary and keep the moves low-impact, and she still saw great results! 

She said, “Country Heat allowed me to change my mindset about exercise and working out.  You can have fun doing something other than playing sports. A person doesn’t have to be in condition to get in better shape—you can start right where you are (everyone can dance!) and progress from there. One of the best things about Country Heat is that it’s easy on your joints. I saw amazing results doing low-impact moves. On some moves, I could increase the intensity but on other moves, I kept my movements low impact and saw results.”

Millie F. lost 26 pounds and 31 inches in 90 days! Though she had never had a dance lesson in her life and this was the first workout program she had tried, she found the workouts easy to do. She said following Autumn was easy, because she broke down the steps into easy-to-follow directions. 

Millie told us, “I did not expect to see such results from this fun workout. I also didn’t expect to sweat so much! The music was great. It was fun and easy to dance to. Country Heat is something I would recommend to everyone! It is simple, fun, energizing, and from young to old, women to men – everyone can see results and add a little spunk to every day!”

NOW for the BIG NEWS!!

I am going to be hosting MY VERY OWN test group for 20 ladies who WANT TO BE THE FIRST to get results from COUNTRY HEAT!! This will be on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis :)   I find that 100% of my challengers get killer results when they are SUPPORTED and A PART OF A TEAM! DO YOU WANT IN??

Guacamole Chicken Burgers

OH EM GEE!!! You GUYS!! These burgers are to DIE for!! I am totally a guacamole girl and always looking for ways to squeeze it in with out having to eat chips with it. This recipe is one of the best chicken burgers I've had, then top it with guac and BAM- we have a WINNER!

These are 21 day fix approved (1 red and one blue) AND will satisfy your cravings for a yummy burger any day! I didn't use any carb with this particular dinner BUT you could use a pita pocket with some lettuce and tomato -- that would give you 1 yellow and 1/2 a green all depending on how much lettuce and tomato you use!

GUACAMOLE CHICKEN BURGERS (Serves 2)

Ingredients:
1/2-pound ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2  teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

1 avocado (2 blue containers when mashed)
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions:
1. Mix the ground turkey together with the chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl.
2. Split into two parts and form into patties
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 teaspoons of olive oil
4. Cook the patties, making sure they brown on both sides AND no longer pink on the inside.

Meanwhile, make your guacamole.
1. Mash together the avocados, lime juice, garlic powder in a bowl.
2. Season to taste with salt and pepper

Serve burgers with a dollop (1 blue container's worth) of guacamole on each patty.

My comeback.

I am so full of emotion right now. It's like someone just threw me a surprise birthday or my hubby came home with flowers. YES, I love flowers that much.💐💐

Yesterday, I ran 1.5 miles WITHOUT any pain!!

Words cannot even describe how freaking HAPPY & EXCITED that makes me.

Patience- hard work- dedication & self love is bringing me back to running.

I AM...

Say it with me: I AM STRONG. I AM SMART. I AM BEAUTIFUL.

Did you know that "I am" is the most powerful statement you make about yourself & we all say it daily.

Whatever follows "I am" WILL become your reality whether you like it or not. Have you ever felt like you always GET what you believe with all your heart? I do. I've seen it.

Well those negative words you use that follow "I am" are getting cemented in your heart & you start believe them.

STOP. Change your words. Don't let your own mind get in the way of your dreams & the purpose you have on this earth.

You have no use for the words that put you down. If you wouldn't call your mom, sister, child, best friend that- then don't you dare give yourself that label.

Be your own best friend. Empower yourself DAILY and never follow up "I AM" with something negative.
