All-Inclusive Paid Trip to Cancun!!

As I sit at my desk looking out the window as the snow falls, all I can think about, how over the cold I am already and its not even Winter yet! However, I now have something to think about this winter and look forward too! I can't wait till APRIL!!! Why? Because I just earned an all-inclusive paid trip to Cancun from Beachbody!!! How? Just by doing my job every day and by helping others reach their goals in health, fitness, and financial!

Does your job reward you with trips and prizes for doing your job? My teaching job didn't either. But working with Beachbody and helping others reach their goals has given me the opportunity to Earn this Free Mini Vacation!!

I can't wait!! I will be doing LIVE workouts with celebrity trainers like Shaun T, Autumn Calabrese, Tony Horton, and Chalene Johnson!! AND the best part is, I will be doing this with my Beachbody family!! We will all be there together having fun and learning from each other while laying by the pool!!!

I wish it was April 15 right now!! DO you want this? DO you want to work for a company that gives you a FREE trip just for doing your job? YOU CAN!!! You too can go to Cancun with me in April. ITs not too late!!

Wanna know how you too can make it to Cancun? Message me and we will talk more about this amazing opportunity!

Start of week 8 of INsanity!!!

I can't believe its already the second to last week of Insanity! There are 10 weeks but week 10 is just a recovery week, so this is really the second to last week! All I can say about it is, I LOVE IT and I hate it at the same time. This program is seriously amazing.

The second month of insanity is really when you see results both physically and mentally. Going an hour hard, is nothing now to me, when it was tough the first month, my endurance has increased majorly since the first week and month, and my body has drastically changed! I have muscles popping out that I have never seen before, all from this program. I am not lifting or doing any other program. I love the program and the results I am getting so far and Can't wait to post my befores and afters.

This program is a challenge, but its a challenge that everyone should take, if they have the time.

 

This is my Fit Test Results! I actually went up in every category. Some only by 1 or 2 and others by 10 or more! So excited to see that I am getting Stronger and Better each time.

 

 

Max Interval Circuit gets me every time! I am drenched in sweat and exhausted by the end but at the same time high as a kite because I finished it and kicked butt!!

A little Wednesday Motivation

 For things to change, you've got to change. For things to get better, you've got to get better.

Things aren't going to change because you want them to. Things aren't going to change because you wish they would or you hope they will.

The only way something is going to change is if YOU DO!!

You've got to change your way of thinking, you've got to change your way of life, to see the change you want to see!

AND....Things aren't going to get better because you want them to or wish them to or hope that they will.

The only way things are going to get better is  if YOU DO! You need to get better at changing, taking on challenges, not giving in, etc for things to get better! Better yourself! Start doing those things that you know will help. Quit making excuses!

Better yourself and change yourself so you can have the change you want and so that things start getting better for you in life!

Week 1 of month 2 Insanity

 

Week 1 of Month 2 of Insanity will be over tomorrow and all I have to say is OMG!!!! Month 2 is no joke! All the workouts are any where from 45-60 minutes, they are intense and make you go to the MAX!!! I love the workouts though!! And honestly with all the changing around and intervals, you don't realize it is an hour workout.

 

With these workouts I have burned up to 600 calories during the workouts, I have noticed that I sweat ALOT more, and that I not only feel great after them, but I get HIGH off the accomplishment that I actually finished it.

 

The intervals are a minute longer and the moves are 15 seconds longer than the first month. However, on the 3rd round he doesn't end with a power move, he ends with a slower, bring your heart rate back down type of move. The moves are definitely more dynamic, intense, and more powerful.

 

I still say that this program can be done by anyone, AS LONG, as you go at your own pace and concentrate on your form rather than your speed! Month 2 is definitely harder, but I LOVE it! I love every workout in Insanity!! I can't wait for next month to do ASYLUM!!! haha I think I have officially gone CRAZY!!! :)

October Goals

 

Its a new month! And at the beginning of each moth I reflect on what I want to accomplish, I what I accomplished last month and what I didn't accomplish. These are my goals for the month of October. I know it is going to be a BIG BUSY month but I am excited for it!!!

 

I ask for all my coaches on my down line to do this every month! It is a great way for all of us to hold each other accountable. And to show each other where we want to go with our business and grow personally.

 

3 Non negotiable on my goals each month are: 1. Reading Personal Development. 2. Hitting Success Club and 3. Inviting others to join me in this amazing journey!  

 

October is all about Fall and changing!! What are your goals for this month? What do you want to accomplish? Change? Create? Do you have any non negotiable goals you like to hit / accomplish each month?

 

 

Month 2 Day 1 of Insanity

 



Month 2 has officially started!!! And man did it kick my butt. I was seriously drenched from my head to my toes in sweat. The 60 minute workout was amazing, tough, and inspiring!! Why inspiring, because I have not done a 60 minute workout in a very, very long time. I was nervous I wasn't going to get through it BUT I did and I took each section one section at a time. I refused to look at the clock to see the time count down. It worked. The warm up was different then last month. It started out 4 minutes then 2 1/2 minutes for the second round and then 1 1/2 minutes for the 3rd round still making it around 10 minutes for the total warm up. The stretching was different too and didn't last as long as the first month. The stretch was about 5 minutes long. So that made for 45 minutes of intense cardio workout. This workout he did 3 different intervals. They were longer in time (45 seconds instead of 30 seconds each move, and they block1 and block 2 had a power move at the end where block 3 did not. All the moves were different, they were cardio, power, and resistance. Their were lots of combination moves on the floor, like ski abs, jump jack push ups, in and out abs, and spider lunges - all for 1 move. It was amazing. I am tired from the workout but I made sure that I took my R&R after!

This weeks schedule for Insanity is:

Monday - Fit Test and Max Interval Circuit

Tuesday -  Max Interval Plyo

Wednesday - Max Cardio Conditioning

Thursday - Max Recovery

Friday - Max Interval Circuit

Saturday - Max Interval Plyo

Sunday - Off

Excited to see what all these workouts are like!

End of Recovery Week

Well the end of the recovery week has come and the start of month 2 is upon me. Tomorrow is day 1 of month two or day 1 of week 6. In this month its all about Max. Max what you ask? I don't have a clue haha!! Honestly, I am too scared to look ahead and watch the DVD's like I normally do. So I will wait in suspense to find out! Tomorrow's workout will be exactly 60 minutes long!!! I haven't worked out that long FOREVER. Looking forward to the challenge and the calorie burn.

Today I did the fit test for the 3rd time. I increased in some areas, decreased in other areas, and stayed the same in the other ones.

Here are my results to hold me accountable.

Thursday - Transform yourself

 If your tired of starting over then stop giving up!!

A reason that people don't do the small things that add up to success over time is because they don't see the success right away!

Anything we do that is going to make us successful, skinny, healthier, happier takes time!!

Working out, eating clean, staying positive doing them every day doesn't look like it's making a difference, but over time, they make a huge difference.

Remember this: Success is a process not a destination! When you make the choice to change don't expect to see results over night. Tell yourself that this is a process and it's a slow one. And that the results as long as you stick with it and stay consistent.

You got this!! Stick to it! Don't give up!! And you will become successful!

Monday Motivation

Good Morning! Happy Monday!!!

It's never to late to start! It's always too late to wait.

Starting isn't easy but it's worth it! Whether you are starting to eat clean, workout, look for a new job, live a positive life, it will be hard at first! But if you give it your all, your 100% for 21 days you will create a habit, a lifestyle change, and a happier, healthier you!!

Deciding to start or start over is never to late, whether your 20, 40, or 60. However, it is always too late to never start or to wait! Don't wait around for the right moment or for that light to shine down and say now, or to have the extra money.

Start today! Make a plan to change! Do what you have been wanting to do for a long time! Life is too short to wait for the right minute! You can do it. You just have to believe in yourself! I believe in you! I know YOU can do it!!

Meal Plan for Week 5 of Insanity

 

Here is my meal plan for Week 5 of Insanity. This week is Recovery week before we start the second phase which is MAX everything haha. I am looking forward to Recovery week, however you are doing the same workout for 6 days in a row. I don't know how much I like that, but I know that this program is proven to work as long as you follow it, I will be following it to a T, which means I will be doing the SAME workout for 5 days in a row.

I know my meal plan as me eating 3 shakes, but I am following the 21 day fix plan but for insanity and I don't care for meat more than 1 time a day, and I don't do dairy because it upsets my tummy. Plus I love my shakes so no complaining here. :)

Rest Days - They are IMPORTANT

No Insanity for me today. This week has been stressful. I went to bed feeling like I was hit by a truck and every muscle in my body hurt. I slept in this morning and plan on making it up this weekend. I love my husband and he needs me now so I had to listen to my body and not workout. Rests days are hard for me, but when it comes to your health you need to listen. Why? Because if you don't listen you are more likely to hurt yourself and injury your body and get worn down and sick. So listen to your body and just watch what you eat that day and don't over do it! :)

Tortilla Press

This is one of the wedding gifts we got for our wedding!!! It is amazing!! I love it! It is a tortilla press which allows me to make tortillas, flat bread, pizza crust, etc. Last night I made grain free, gluten free, corn free tortillas. They were amazing, and my Hubby who likes most things but is very critical of the grain free things I make, and he LOVED them.

All the tortilla is made of is 1/2 cup of almond meal, 1/2 cup of quinoa flour, and 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water. It makes 4 shells. The whole process with the tortilla press is no more than 5 minutes. Its that easy. And then on the shells, I put ground turkey, cheese, spinach, and salsa.

The next thing I am going to make is pizza crust with the press. Stay tuned to find out, how it turns out! :)

Everything is moving, Everything is Chaning, Always

Good Morning! Happy Thursday!!!

Nothing ever stays the same. Everything  is in motion, always. Everything changes.

Life is constantly changing and moving. Why are you still sitting still?

Stop siting and waiting for the right opportunity! Get up and make the opportunity for you!

If I would have waiting for the perfect time to quick my full time job and start Beachbody full time, I would still be waiting! Sometimes we have to jump feet first into something, hope instead of hoping for the best, work our a$$ off to make it successful and everything we want it to be and more!

Sitting around won't get you where you want to go. Sitting around won't get you what you want!! YOU have to get up and work for it! Believe in yourself, learn from your mistakes and failures and keep moving ahead!!

Need help? Need that push to change? Message me! I am here for you and would love to give you the push you need to get changing.

Good Morning! Happy Wednesday!!!

For things to be different, you have to DO something different!

If you want things to change, if you want to lose weight, get a new job, have more energy, then you need to change and do things that will help you loose weight, get you that new job, or give you more energy!

Sitting around wishing won't get you anywhere, like sitting around complaining about it won't get you anywhere.

Stop complaining, stop wishing and START DOING!! You got this!! Remember if you want something to change you have to change and do something different!

Need help? Need that push to change? Message me! I am here for you and would love to give you the push you need to get changing.

Weekend Motiation

Good Morning! Happy Friday!!!

You did it!! All that stands between you and the weekend is the next 8 hours!! Remember you can do it! Just breath and believe!

This weekend work hard to stay on track. Make a to do list for each day! Make sure you fit your workout in or some physical activity that will get your heart rate up and a sweat going. Also make sure you stick to your meal plan. Don't fall of track and ruin all the hard work you did this weekend for that beer and pizza or those chips and dip! Allow yourself a treat if you want one but don't give in to the football party food! Remember you have goals to meet. Remember your why and what you are working for! Drink lots of water and most importantly, believe in yourself!

Need help? Need motivation and support? I am here for you!! Message me!!!

Friday Week 3 Day 5

Good Morning!!! Happy Friday! Limitations exist only if you let them!! Don't limit yourself!! Be who you want to be and do what you want to do! If you want to workout, workout, if you want to eat clean, eat clean!! Do you!! If I limited myself to what I thought and felt, than I wouldn't be doing insanity because I thought I couldn't handle! But I am doing it every day, even on days like today where it was hard! I struggled to get through it, but I kept going, even if it was at a slower pace than I had been doing and much slower than what they were doing on TV. But I didn't give up. I kept going. Don't give up yourself! Push past your limitations! Believe in yourself!!!

Today was a hard day! I am not going to lie. Usually I am sweating and out of breath but feel good. I usually drink 70 ounces of water each workout. But today I struggled to get my second bottle down, and I struggled at the end finishing the push ups and plank runs. I felt sick to my stomach, but I slowed down and pushed past it. Why did I feel that way? I am not sure. I think it was because I had a chiropractor appointment and he adjusted me. So I think I need to make my appointments on Wednesdays from now so that Thursday - Cardio Recovery Days work better and don't mess up my adjustment.

Week 3 Day 3 Muscle Vs Fat

I am on week 3 of Insanity. This week started out with the fit test on Monday, followed by Plyometric cardio Circuit (my favorite) and then today was a double day with insanity! Today was pure cardio and cardio abs! I was a complete sweaty mess by the time I was done with Pure Cardio and I still had cardio abs to do! With Pure Cardio I feel I am getting stronger and stronger each time I do it and can last longer and am taking fewer breaks, not just water breaks but stopping and just jogging in place breaks. That makes me happy knowing that I am getting stronger each week!

Area you a scale watcher? I am sometimes and its a horrible habit. Well insanity I have not lost any weight. Why? 1. because I am eating more than I normally do and 2. because I am taking my fat and turning it into muscle, which means that muscle weighs more than fat!! Which is fine by me, because Muscle is much sexier than fat!!! Don't you agree. So instead of watching the scale, I am watching how I feel, what my muscles look like, how my clothes feel, and how I continue to fuel my body with the appropriate foods.

So I have set a goal for myself. I am in week 3 and I have 7 more weeks to go. 2 of those weeks are really recovery weeks but still, I have a goal set! My goal with Pure Cardio is to make it through the entire 15 minutes straight of cardio with taking only 2 QUICK water breaks and NOT stopping at all to job because I am tired! I know I can do it, because I know that each week I am getting stronger and stronger!  Do you like to set goals for yourself with your workouts and program?

 

 

Here is a little picture of what the difference in Fat and Muscle look like.

 

Week 3 of Insanity Meal Plan

 

Here is my meal plan for the third week of Insanity! I am loving the program so far however, I am not a big eater due to having celiacs disease, but man am I HUNGRY all the time doing this program. I can't drink enough water or eat enough on it! I am trying not to make out on my food but there are days I feel like I could eat the entire house! Do you ever have days like that? This week I tried to add more and make different things! I am excited to try the Quinoa Almond Joy Bars on Thursday! I haven't made them yet, so I will keep you posted on how they turn out!

Week 3!!! Say What?!?

Ahhh!! I can't believe I have made it to week 3. Today was the fit test again. With Insanity you do the fit test every 2 weeks. I am happy with my results. I went up in all areas except the power jacks where I stayed the same. And in some areas I only went up one. But I am not letting that discourage me. I have worked hard and its only day 15. I can't wait to see where my numbers are at come day 60.

What kept me motivated this whole time was beating Tania. I would get excited when Shaun T would go over and read her numbers. She might have had higher numbers than me but when it came to the increases that is what I got excited about. Some of them increased more than her by a lot and sometimes by 1 so I was thrilled about that! haha

I am really enjoying this program and look forward to it each morning. If you have 45 minutes a day to spend working out then I recommend this program. Yes it is called insanity and yes it is insane, but I truly believe that anyone can do this program, as long as they go at their own pace and listen to Shaun T and not really watch him and how fast he goes. I am still just listening and going at my own pace. Yes I hope one day that I can go at his speed but I refuse to compromise my form.


So if you get the chance, check it out! Check insanity out and try a workout or two! You might just become addicted or insane to it!! :)

If I could provide you with a 21 Day workout that was just 30 minutes a day with a meal plan that is simple to follow and uses a fool proof portion control system, telling you exactly what to eat, without starvation, and you could lose anywhere from 5-15 pounds in just 3 weeks / 21 days, how serious would you be about trying it?
