21 Day Fix Transformation!!

Wow.. I could not WAIT to Share these results from one of my Challengers! 

Check out her AMAZING results! I usually have people ask me "what happens after 21 Days?".. and the answer is this... YOU REPEAT the PROGRAM until you get your desired results!!!!

Kat did JUST that and her results are SOOO GOOD!!!! Don't get me wrong.. she was BACK to her pre-baby weight AFTER the 1st round (21 Days) and into her size 0 jeans by the 5 week!

In fact.. Kat fell in LOVE with the 21 Day Fix that she decided to do it 3X! AND even signed up as a Coach to help others get started JUST like she did! I am SO Proud of the work this girl put into her fitness journey!!!!

Seriously.... the 21 Day Fix has been THE BEST program to get my Challengers.. shoot... my coaches.. and EVEN myself into the the BEST shape!

PLEASE show this girl some LOVE for all her hard work and dedication!!!!!

Live the Life of your DREAMS!!!!

I'm sitting here typing this blog to SHARE just how EXCITED I am!!  

I remember coming across this crazy thing called "Coaching" one day when I was scrolling through Google trying to find transformation pics of women that had similar body types as me.. JUST to try and get motivated enough to work out.  Seeing that this "coaching" job allowed people to work from home and replace the traditional J-O-B income almost instantly fascinated me.  You mean to tell me that people don't have to work 8-5... or in my case 7-6 to make a full-time income?  The thought of that sounded so crazy.. but still fascinating!

As I started researching more and more... I saw pics of coaches taking vacations and working out and just filled with so much positivity!  I KNEW from that moment that I WAS MEANT to live that same lifestyle!

I remember when it hit me.. it felt like a ton of bricks fell on my head!  There was a weight that just came over me.  But in a good way if that makes sense.  It was as if my passion flowed through every vein in body.  What the heck was Passion to me up until that point?  It was NOTHING.  I had lived over 30 years of my life with NO PASSION.  I never had a clear direction of what to do with my life.  I actually went about life living the status-quo.. you know graduate, get a job, go to school, get married, have kids... and in my case.. NOT in that order might I add!

But all of a sudden.. I was full of PASSION!  and DRIVE!  and DETERMINATION!  that THIS was all meant for me.  I also remember that I did the ugliest happy cry ever!  

Fast forward to 22 months later... and I JUST booked my cruise room for hubby and myself to set sail in March of 2016 to Jamaica!  We had our honeymoon in Jamaica!!!  I feel the same flood of energy taking over and I am beyond ECSTATIC!!!

Just to recap what the last 2 years have been like for me...

1.  Retired from my Full-Time Corporate job
2.  Built a team of over 40 coaches all set out to help others all by working on themselves
3.  Helped about 100 women (a few men too) get started on their fitness journeys, gain confidence, and start believing in themselves again
4.  Attended Beachbody's Summit in Las Vegas 2015
5.  Personally meet celebrity trainers Autumn Calabrese creator of 21 Day Fix, Sagi Kalev creator of Body Beast, and Leandro Carvalho creator of Brazil Butt Lift
6.  Performed on stage at Summit congratulating my upline and #1 coach in all of Beachbody
7.  Attended the Bombshell Dynasty Leadership Retreat in Orlando, FL and stay a 14k sq ft mansion along w 30 other TOP leaders in the company
8.  Grown in my leadership and personal development
9.  Regained my FAITH
10.  Built and reconnected with so many new and old friends


 

 



Not included was having to relocate 2 times to 2 major cities (was able to take my "job" with me), the ability to travel to TX, FL, SD, NM, and parts of CO all because my schedule is flexible, spending quality time with my kids without stress or frustration (a feeling I knew all too well when working in Corporate America), and the financial freedom to pay off all credit cards (all from my Beachbody income).

2015 and 2016 are already expected to be much more EPIC than the last 2 years!  and I owe it ALL to the one decision I made.. to become a coach!

I share all of this because 2 years ago.. I had no direction in my life.  Yet having my eyes open when the opportunity presented itself has left me speechless.  My life has done a complete 180 and am living a life that I only imagined in my dreams!  and because of how much my heart has been over-filled by Coaching, I wish the same for everyone!

You may not know where your life is going or even what the opportunity of coaching will do for you... but if there is even a small glimpse of Belief in yourself and FAITH that you were destined for something greater in this life... Coaching may be EXACTLY for you!

Feel FREE to message me on Facebook or here on my blog if you would like to go over your dreams and goals in life!

A year from NOW you will have wish you started!

I don't know about you.. but I am SO READY for the New Year! and you wanna know my FAVORITE part... its the COMMITMENT that everyone makes to change!

I remember back to 2013 when I FINALLY told that voice in my head to Shut Up! You know.. the one that says:

"You Cant Do It".. 
"Life is Too Crazy"..
"There Isn't Enough Time In The Day"..


For me... 2013 was the BEGINNING! I embraced the Challenge to shut that voice up! 2014 I was able to MAINTAIN! (trust me... that is seriously the hardest part of the process!) And since then... I have been able to help countless women get started on THEIR journeys!

I know sometimes people may question WHY I take pics.. but let me tell you.. Thats truly HOW I gauge my progress! I teach my clients how to focus on THIER bodies instead of the "scale". I was comparing my progress from 2013-2014.. and my weight in BOTH pics is the EXACT SAME! but there was definitely some changes made!

I am so excited to get my very first Challenge Group of the New Year underway! 2015 is going to be HUGE!

I'll be accepting 20 ladies for my Biggest Loser Challenge starting on January 5! Please fill out the application below! Hurry though.. My December challenge capped out at 54 challengers in a matter of DAYS!

HAPPIER and HEALTHIER

Wow! Coming across this pic of me from 4 years ago when I "thought" I was in the BEST SHAPE of my life AFTER 3 kids... and seeing this pic from today.. has me SHOCKED!

NOT because of the difference in Pant Size.. 

But because... 

4 years ago... I was tired... stressed out.. accepting of the fact that there was NO WAY I could change anything else about my body.. especially AFTER having kids!
- I didn't work out because there wasn't enough time in the day
- I was TIRED of being TIRED
- My nutrition consisted of hot cheetos and beef jerky (<----YUP!)
- I couldn't make it up a flight of stairs WITHOUT losing my breathe
- I had HIPS and they DONT LIE
- I was a smoker of 15 years (only quit during my pregnancies)
- I drank about a bottle of wine a night... maybe more on weekends...
- I was short-tempered and could snap at the drop of a dime

TODAY.....
I'm HEALTHIER and HAPPIER! Thats all!

I love life! I don't strive to be perfect.. only BETTER than I was the day before!

The fact that I've LOST WEIGHT in the process is ALL a RESULT of a decision I made 21 months ago... which was just to GIVE myself an hour a day to focus on ME!

That decision has forever changed my life! My kids lives! and my Family Life!

Little Black Dress Challenge!

When I signed up as a Coach, I had these small glimpses of me helping other ladies reach their Fitness goals.. and when I say small.. I mean.. I HOPED I could do it, but couldn't actually see it VIVIDLY come to fruition... And I didn't know HOW I could ever even begin to make it happen. Especially since I hadn't even started working on myself.  

And here I am now... a year and a half later.. and I have not only HELPED myself get into the BEST shape of my life.. but I have gotten over 100 LADIES started on THIER FITNESS JOURNEYS!

Its so easy to say.. I'll wait for the New Year to get started. and I don't know about you.. but there are VERY FEW Resolutions that I've kept.. ESPECIALLY the one that I always made year after year about "getting in shape". And because I've helped so many women THROUGHOUT the year.. I realized.. You DO NOT need a Resolution to get started.. YOU JUST NEED TO START!

We have 35 ladies joining our Little Black Dress Challenge that starts December 1st. DONT WAIT til January to make a vow to yourself to start your workout..
I'm INVITING you to JOIN US NOW!

Helping others is WHERE it's AT!!!!

I remember reading Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich about a year and a half ago and thinking to myself that I wanted nothing more than to help others… NOT for my own personal gain.. but because its so rewarding to make someone ELSE happy!

I initially discovered Beachbody to keep myself accountable so that I could reach a goal and actually COMPLETE a program… I would have NEVER thought at the time that I would be receiving messages from MY coaches FIRST thing in the morning to tell me that they received they BIGGEST paycheck for ONE WEEK of helping others do the same!!  

My coaches are in AWE because people are trusting them.. to help them...

- To complete a workout program.. 
- To eat cleaner..
- To get motivation for something that THEY'VE been WANTING for so long..

The JOY and EXCITEMENT that my coaches have from seeing their business thrive and GROW has been ABSOLUTELY REWARDING beyond belief!  I could tear up!

Our team does NOT consist of professional fitness trainers or experts in nutrition.. 

Instead, we are made up of stay at home wives/husbands, part time college students, active duty military, full time professionals in Corporate America, teachers, and hair dressers!  We are normal regular people!!

All doing one thing in common… HELPING OTHERS! 

Seriously though.. If you have been thinking about joining.. You don't want to miss out!  It could be YOU messaging me first thing in the morning!!
