It's late I know but doing it anyway...

Yep, I know I procrastinated! Lol...but hey guess what? I've NEVER missed a workout so no matter how late it is....you bet your butt I'll be getting my workout done for the day! Time for me to push play and knock out my 21 Day Fix Extreme workout for the day...thank goodness it's only 30 min long lol.

I'm tired, sore as heck and don't feel like doing it but I know I have too because I made a promise to myself that no matter how hard it gets...I WILL reach my goals and I've only got 4-5 months til Summer so pushing hard! 

Who wants to workout but lacks the motivation? --> Here are my plans for the next few weeks if you'd like to jump in and join any of my upcoming Facebook groups for accountability!!

I've decided to lay it all out there for you for those that have been waiting for the perfect time and not sure yet on where to start or how to start. THIS right here shows that if you start now....you can dive right in to my 7 day clean eating challenge starting next week followed by prep week and lastly a test group or fitness challenge depending on what you choose! You'll also be provided meal plans throughout the entire process so no guesswork here...all YOU have to do is show up & take pics of your food & sweaty workouts. All I ask is that you engage with the group so be prepared to make new friends

Anyhow...time for me to push PLAY and get it done so I can go to sleep on time tonight.

Have a good night everybody!

Ever find yourself coming up with excuses for not staying on track with clean eating...

The other day my husband asked if I could make one of his favorite dishes which is "Cheese, Potato & Smoke Sausage Casserole" and it happens to be one of my favorite dishes that I haven't made since I switched to the clean eating lifestyle because obviously this gooey cheesiness is really bad for you lol. 

I knew I did NOT want to get tempted to even try it so I planned a few days ahead and made sure that I had the ingredients to make one of my favorite clean dishes called "Sweet Potato Casserole" and it's PURE COMFORT food!!...this dish is so good that I didn't even care to try one of my old favorites!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED haha....I didn't even use the taste tester excuse to try the cheesy dish. 

It does take time and more work to make 2 dishes but I look forward to the end result knowing that I stayed on track. I also served myself on a small plate while his was on a big dinner plate...use those little tricks to help you!

I can't say this enough because I've come across so many that have used excuse after excuse....I can't eat clean because I have kids who love junk food or I'm the only one who wants to eat clean. Quit wasting energy coming up with excuses for yourself not to stay on track and instead find ways to eat clean! If you want to eat clean than just DO IT!!

Ummm....hello  *waving here lol* ---> I am hosting a 7 day Clean Eating Challenge on Facebook starting next Monday, March 2nd where I will be providing a 7 day meal plan along with a grocery list. There are no obligations...all I ask is that you just engage with the group and have fun by taking pics of your food for accountability. And you don't have to do this alone...invite someone to do this with you 

Want to join the group?

Than comment below and/or message me! 

As Brian Tracy said... "No more excuses! Do it or don't do it -- but don't make excuses. Stop using your incredible brain to think up elaborate rationalizations and justifications for not taking action. Do something. Do anything. Get on with it! Repeat to yourself: :If it's to be, it's up to me!"

The Power of Self Discipline

I am LOVING this new book that I started yesterday called "No Excuses - the Power of Self Discipline" by Brian Tracy.

It's crazy thinking how many times you come up with excuses not to go to work, not to workout, not to get stuff done, not to stick to your clean eating in order to have that short term satisfaction. This can apply to every aspect and not just in weight loss....just think of how many times you said "no, not now" because you were tired or didn't feel like it. Now would those excuses help you with your long term goals? I think not...

This quote is so true on so many levels...do you ever see a successful person coming up with excuses? They may have in the beginning before they became successful but eventually they learned the habits along the way that brought SUCCESS. One habit in particular is NO EXCUSES!!

Here's what I read this morning.....

"The first rule of success is simple: No more excuses! Do it or don't do it -- but don't make excuses. Stop using your incredible brain to think up elaborate rationalizations and justifications for not taking action. Do something. Do anything. Get on with it! Repeat to yourself: If it's to be, it's up to me! Losers make excuses; winners make progress"

BAM, isn't that awesome!! I will be reading this book everyday, I've only completed the introduction and already I highly recommend it! I have to train my mindset during my weight loss and in growing a successful business that no matter what...I WILL not be coming up with excuses for myself. No more excuses, not now and not ever!

So, that being said....get on with your day and make it happen!!

Coaching is so much more...

Today I cleaned the house, had 7 phone calls, chatted with one of my coaches, spent time with the hubs and now I'm babysitting my niece......these were all scheduled INCLUDING the "no phone" time between 3 and 5pm. There were extra phone calls I didn't plan for but I enjoyed which is okay because I had a real productive day and got everything done I needed to do. Sounds strange but without a schedule and boundaries my business and over commitment could run us into the ground.

One of my favorite calls today was with one of my coaches and we went over her goals and way to reach them but more importantly.....we talked about boundaries. Setting times to work and times to NOT WORK. It's hard to stop when you love what you do and believe in it but, what's more important than family? It's a no-brainer. We work so that we can have more options and freedom for our family. I advised her to schedule both her family time and her time to work her business because she needs to ensure she doesn't neglect either one because both are so important. Today she said she was going to try and implement this tomorrow. I know she's looking forward to being able to balance both so she can have more freedom to do what she wants and enjoy her family time.

This is one of the reasons WHY I LOVE what I do....not only to help others achieve their health goals but also to help my coaches make their business into a source of income so they can stay home more with their families and enjoy the freedom. Coaching is so much more than being a great coach.......it's about being the best MOM/DAD/WIFE/HUSBAND you can be and finding your purpose though this business. heart emoticon

My Progress from the last 8 months!!

Taking photos has been one of the hardest things I've had to do because honestly it's a HUGE wake up call. I'm so glad that I took these when my Coach urged me too because now I can look back and look at my progress. Here are my progress photos from the last 8 months and I never in my widest dreams did I ever think that one day I would have visible abs!!!....gah, so exciting!! I KNOW I CAN do this, I will be ready in the next few months!! This year, I will not let Summer creep up on me...instead, I will be READY for it!!

This is the REASON I encourage my coaches & challengers to take pics of their progress!!

I got my life back and now I'm helping others!

Went to the chiropractor back on January 5th for an adjustment...I remember this day since my doc almost caught me crying with joy because seeing my last visit date hit me like a ton of bricks.

I was diagnosed with Severe Degenerative Disc Disease of the Thoracic spine along with arthritis in my facet joints last year even though I had been battling the pain for over 4 yrs now. It's a very crippling disease where you deal with chronic pain on a daily basis, it affects everything in your life and there are treatments but no cure. Unfortunately I'm no candidate for surgery because 4 different doctors have told me that I'm stuck with what I have for the rest of my life. I got tired of being given pills on every visit and turned away only to be back weeks later with no improvement. I could not comprehend that I was stuck feeling the way I had been feeling for the rest of my life so I started working on ways to IMPROVE my life ----> lets just say that I FOUND it!!

THIS right here is more PROOF that I am doing much better and feeling better because just LOOK at those dates on the chart!!...This doesn't even go over the last few years that I've been going to my chiro, this is only going back to last year so HUGE difference! I've been seeing a chiro since 2008 and they have helped me dramatically!!...I used to go 3-4 times a week when I first got injured where now my visits are less and less frequent. And here are 3 reasons why......

1. I FOCUS on nutrition more and what types of foods to avoid that causes inflammation....not perfected yet but I'm working on switching over to the Paleo lifestyle. If you eat foods that causes inflammation than it can put pressure on the nerve endings which for myself I've noticed flare ups if I consume too much grain.

2. I workout 5-6 days a week which is not only helping me lose weight but gain strength & flexibility. When you are building muscle and gaining strength than you can improve your posture! Also, I notice that when my back is stiff or locks up...well than all I need is to get my sweat session on and it helps loosen up my joints and wow I just feel more incredible than before I started.

3. But the biggest most LIFE CHANGING reason why I am IMPROVING is because I no longer work the typical job breaking my back for someone else....but instead working from home doing what I LOVE and in my bed at that!! I literally sit in bed and work online at my own pace with no pressure from anyone....I work whenever I want because I am my own boss. You can work on your own health while your helping improve the lives of others but also earn an income from home! 

This has been life changing for me because at one point I almost applied for disability back in April 2014 but I just couldn't grasp the idea of being on it doing nothing at the age of 28. It's crazy to see how much this has helped me not only look better, feel better but also provide an income at that!

So much change I've gone through but my struggles have only made me stronger. It's crazy I know but I feel like I was meant to go through all this so I can share my story and give others hope. Thank you God for everything and leading me where I needed to go...I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Him.

I want to encourage you that if you know someone who is wanting to work but can't because they're limited like me than please reach out to me or send them my way because I'll be glad to tell them about everything I do and how much it's helped me. 

If you'd like the idea of working from home (even stay at home moms) or if you're already into health & fitness than this is HUGE accountability and you'd be doing the same thing that you're doing now but you'd also be helping others which is so rewarding. Interested? Please comment below or message me so we can talk it over, would love to see your life change like it has changed mine
