Small Town Girl Goes to LA

This mama of four flew to LA on Wednesday and as our opening session began on Thursday I couldn't help but think about the place I was in 3 years ago! Sad, depressed, and LOST!!! Never in a million years would I have thought that 3 years later I would be in a room with the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler!!! NEVER!!! 

Three years ago I was just a mom taking care of her four kids, my identity was found in those babies and taking care of our home! I had lost my identity and grew tired and lazy about taking care of myself! Taking care of others was my passion but I didn't take the time or energy to work on me! Little did I know that when I would take the time for me, my ability to take care of others GREW so much more!!!

I had goosebumps and chills at opening session on Thursday while Carl Daikeler was speaking!!! I thought about the opportunity that God has placed before me!!! There's no doubt in my mind that God brought me here to LA to show me what I can do for those women around me!!! I too can help people find themselves again!!!

The theme this week...RELENTLESS!!! In 2016, I am going to be RELENTLESS about seeking people who want, and better yet NEED a change in their lives!!! I am going to build a team of women who want to RECLAIM their lives and begin LIVING the life God has always intended them to live!!! I am going to help them FIND themselves so that they can be better mothers, wives, daughters, and friends!!! I REFUSE to take no prisoners!!!

The 🔥FIRE🔥 has been lit!!!

I'm speaking this into truth....I WILL BE A 2016 BEACHBODY ELITE COACH!!!

Who's coming with me??? You ready to RIDE???

READY to join my team??? Ready to start living again??? I want to help you!!! Fill out the application below and I will get back with you!!!

Tough Mudder Insanity Max and P90X3 Workout Schedule

My husband and I will be doing the Tough Mudder for the second time at the end of next month! I wanted to develop a workout schedule for us! Since we love these two programs and have seen great results with both, I decided to make a hybrid for Insanity Max 30 and P90X3! Together we should get ripped, right?!?!

Our Running Schedule

So here's the plan!  We are going to run 1 mile on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2 miles on Wednesday with a long run on Saturdays.  We will run up to 9 miles before the race.  You can choose how long you would like your long run to be.  As a general rule of thumb we increase our miles by 1 mile each week.  You may need to reverse engineer your miles so that you are able to achieve your goal miles before your Tough Mudder is scheduled!

Here is our workout schedule in addition to our running! Note that in month 3 there are two workouts for P90X3.  You will want to alternate the workouts each week.  For example the first Tuesday you will do Agility X and the second Tuesday you will do MMX.

I WILL conquer those monkey bars this year!!!

Day 1 of the 21 Day Fix Extreme...Review!

My husband and I have taken the 21 Day Fix Extreme challenge! We soooo need this! After months of working our tails off during the week and indulging on the weekends we have just been throwing our results out the window! We have taken a new vow to break our bad habits and what a better way to do so than to do the 21 Day Fix Extreme??? Let's do this! I want to share with you a day in the life of the 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan.  For breakfast we had our Shakeology! I use vegan chocolate Shakeology, a drop of peppermint oil, 4-5 ice cubes and 12 ounces of water! Blend away in my Ninja and voila...peppermint pattie Shakeology! Yep, this is a pic of our Shakeo in a kids cup! hehehe!

My mid morning snack was my favorite! An apple cored with 2 teaspoons of all natural almond butter! Delish!

Let's talk lunch!!! Oh yummy!!! 4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, quinoa, spinach, bella mushrooms, and hot sauce! 

My afternoon snack is my daily treat! Plain greek nonfat yogurt with berries, grapes, and cinnamon! 

Last but definitely not least DINNER!!! I made a zucchini shrimp scampi! I added EVOO sautéed julienned zucchini and garlic.  Took the zucchini out of the pan and added the shrimp and sautéed them as well!  I used Mrs. Dash for seasoning!  So delish! We also had a side of roasted sweet potatoes topped with cinnamon! 

I am a foodie! Yes, an addict really! This meal plan is soooo very doable! I was full and content throughout the day!  Definitely a great program for anyone to follow!
