What is the Design of YOUR life?

April 23rd 2015
You hear advice from all of the gurus. They tell you to follow your passion. They tell you that those living the best lives are in careers that match their calling. How? How do you get started on your passion when you are working a full time job to pay the bills? How do you even know what your passion is? I wish I had this advice when I was in my 20's. I wish someone had told me to pick a career that I really wanted to do and not just one that paid well. Sure my business degree is helpful and Continue Reading >

Egg McMuffin vs Homemade

January 31st 2015
This is why people say COOK AT HOME. Compound this over time. I used to hit the drive thru a few times a week. Woke up late, no time to cook but I had 20 minutes to spare to drive to a place, sit in the lane, and get my food. Yeah right. You are not fooling anyone. Eggs are one of the easiest things to prepare. Does it take that long to cook and egg and toast a muffin? No it doesn't! Lets say you have an Egg McMuffin or something similar. How about a chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a? Continue Reading >

Health Fads

January 27th 2015
How many health fads have you tried? How many are you still following and you don't realize it is a fad? Let me tell you the TRUTH now. There isn't a special secret to help you to be healthy and be at your optimal weight. Being healthy is a compound effect. Healthy choices repeated over time = healthy. Unhealthy choices repeated over time = unhealthy. Healthy Habits: Eating whole foods (fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains,  healthy fats) Moving your body and sweating daily Keeping Continue Reading >

Old vs NOW

January 16th 2015
The changes didn't happen over night. If you had told me to give up everything and start everything new I would have failed. Most people set a high standard on January 1st and then give up by the weekend. They try to quit smoking, start going to the gym, stop eating processed foods and eat every meal at home. For me this process was a gradual process over a few years. If you want to be healthy you must have consistent healthy habits. Drinking diet drinks, eating sugar free or fat Continue Reading >

Was it Worth It?

December 28th 2014
September through December is a bit of a blur for our family. All 3 of us have our birthdays in September and we usually have travel for Beachbody. The holiday season begins. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve. Sometimes travel and always full of parties, events, birthdays, celebrations, family and friends. December is very busy. It is for most. The season is up and down with emotions. Happy to be around fun. Sad missing those who are not with us. Happy to give and share joy. Continue Reading >

Top reasons why people say no

November 17th 2014
You say no. You say no every day. How often do you really say yes? Think about it. We get up, drive to work, say yes to the boss, say yes to working late, say yes to being the room mom, say yes to soccer, say yes to the big Christmas list, say yes to everything but to ourselves. I spend time every day inviting people to join me in a health and fitness challenge group. Talking to people and getting them to open up about their goals is not easy. It requires a relationship and trust. The reasons Continue Reading >

10 ways to know if you are following your passion

October 18th 2014
So many times you hear "Do what you love and the money will follow." Or you "Follow your passion." What if you don't know what your passion is? What if you feel stuck in your job because you can't think of any other way to earn a paycheck other than exchanging 40 hours a week for it? What if you are a single parent and can't just quit your job to follow your passion? I spent many years following other peoples plans for me. When I finally decided to follow my own plan that is when my life Continue Reading >

What are YOUR Excuses?

September 15th 2014
We all have excuses. You've heard the saying "You either find a way or find an excuse." If you haven't heard it yet, now you have. I agree with it too. You pick to do or not do things based on your priorities and excuses. Do you agree? Lets take a closer look into the excuse vs. finding a way theory. Find a way based on priority: -Pick up your kids at school by a certain time. -In a car accident and must go to the emergency room -Go to the bathroom -Eat a meal -Get to work on time -Take Continue Reading >

Your Success Is Up to You!

September 11th 2014
Beachbody does not guarantee any level of success or income from the Team Beachbody Coach Opportunity. Each Coach's income depends on his or her own efforts, diligence, and skill. I posted the picture first to get your attention. These are MY real earnings. Sometimes I get all weird when I post them. What will people think. Will they think it is a lot? Will they think it is not enough? Will they think what I do is not worth it? I realize quickly that it doesn't matter that other people think Continue Reading >
