Only Have 22 Minutes To Spare? I Have A Workout For You!




WOW that was a sweat fest workout!!!

I only had 30 minutes this morning and I still did a 22 minutes of cardio and 8 minutes of a core workout.
The days of working out for hours in the gym or even 50 min with at home workouts are long gone. 
I love that I'm apart of helping others get healthy and fit for life 

Dont Workout For 2 hours At The Gym


Went to the gym with my 
Beachbody OnDemand this morning 
A girl was already in there!
I did my 30 minute workout plus 10 minutes of abs and she s still not done.
I'm sweating and feel amazing 
I'm glad I have Beachbody workouts that get the job done fast

Weekend Pepe Talk


Don't let the weekend derail your progress.
The more consistent you are the better you feel
Temporary bad food choices bring the disappointment feelings after
Eat the best you can
Not perfect
Just better everyday

Good Things Are Happening Don't Give Up


Life may be kicking you around right now. 
You may wonder if your fortunes will improve. 
I'm telling you that you can't even imagine the good that awaits you if you refuse to give up. 
Stay focused on your dream. 
Do whatever it takes to stay in the chase. 
You have the power the change your circumstances.
Go after whatever it is you desire.

Its Not Just About Looking Better But Also Feeling Great

It's so hard to start working out
It takes motivation even when your tired 
We are ALL busy busy busy
Yes I am also which is why I'm up at 5am
But I went most of my life hating the way I looked, even when I was thin I wanted to be thinner.
Today I feel strong, beautiful, complete.

When you eat remember you ARE what you eat!
Eat to fuel your body and feel amazing.
I'm NOT perfect, I still eat out and eat pasta and bread on occasion,
I don't have allergies so I can but my body reminds me how much better it runs when I eat meats and veggies.

I will never tell you to eat perfect
But I am telling you to eat better then you are today.
Just eating better everyday the ripple effect will happen and you will see and feel the difference 

Your Getting Closer To Your Goals

Yes 3 years ago I was very overweight and unhealthy!
After 6 months I felt better then after a year I earned abs
Still today I hate my legs cause they have always been the biggest part of my body and the reason I hate this time of year cause of having to find jeans.
Every year before I put my jeans on I have to tell myself my legs are getting toned and to not stress about wearing jeans.
See it's about your mindset, you must tell yourself you can do anything even when it looks impossible.
The word itself says possible!!
Kick butt everyday being your BEST self knowing changes are happening inside and out even if you can't see it now

Bad Choices Do NOT Define You

Today is the day to make choices that change your life
Simple changes make us feel joy 
Sometimes God LETS us make our bad choices so we learn from them 
But
They do NOT define us

Don't look at your past as failures but as a stepping stone to choose to make better choices today.
What will you choose to change to be closer to living a happy, joyful life? 
I choose daily to workout and help friends do the same while showing how I battled with the fear, doubt and insecurities.
It's not easy to make healthy choices but a friend in your corner sure does help 

The Door to My Dream Closed, Now What?

Most of us will quit reaching for our dreams 
because of the time and sacrifice it takes to get to them. 

What if you were 1 closed door,
One sacrifice away from where you have always dreamed of being.

Would you give up or keep pushing? 
DONT STOP
Your almost there

How Do You measure Success?

How often do you see a successful person that makes life look easy and think
Must be nice

Success is always something that is achieved by HARD work, dedication and consistency 
If it was easy don't you think everyone would be successful? 

Change your mindset from looking at success as being lucky to being dedicated to ones dreams

Cize, the End Of Boring Exercise

Who loves the idea of dancing instead of working out but just doesn't want to look like a fish in the fitness classes at the gym? 
I have to say I was just like that, I loved the idea of zumba but couldn't make it to the classes enough to get the moves down so I always looked like a fish out of water lol.
Well now I get to dance, gain definition and have fun 
with this new Beachbody workout program Cize

Want more details on this program?

When Your Tired Remember Why You Started

Some days are not easy!
Like today for me it's super early, I'm pretty tired etc
But I have a strong WHY for getting up every morning at 5am
Find that inner strength to do the opposite of what your mind says.
The hardest part is pushing play so even if you do one rep of each exercise you are still moving forward :)

If I can do it you can also
I have and had EVERY excuse
I've worked hard to get where I am but when I turn 30 in a couple weeks I will know I'm on the right track to still feel great at 40

This blog is pretty emotional for me to write.
Ive been friends with Jeni for years but really became connected when she joined one of my groups on facebook a year ago. She wanted a change but didnt know where to start.

She decided to go to the doctor and get a health exam which gave her motivation.
Jeni said from day one her why for wanting to be healthy was for her kids.
After digging deep into grocery shopping and what to look for she jumped out of her comfort zone which isnt easy for anyone and started posting everyday in our facebook group. 

She is a busy wife and mom of 2 kiddos and is such an inspiration. Not only does she enjoy working out now but her kids get to watch her mommy kick butt and they want to be just like her.
Her husband is extremely proud of how far she has come!

Today she is completely different on the inside and out. I honestly was speechless when she posted this picture. 


Thank you Jeni for opening up to me and your new friends. We are so proud of how far you have come and know now that you can accomplish ANYTHING you put your mind to. 
Insanity Max 30 is next for you and I know that you can and you will kick butt!!
Always here for you my friend :)

Life is so crazy on the RUN

I feel like everyday is nuts! Do you feel the same?

My name is Victoria, my husband and I have 2 kiddos ages 6 and 2, plus a german shepard.
I know doesnt sound to crazy
But im really cheap, like I dont like spending money if I dont have to.
So my husband (Eric) was transferred at his job to a place 20 miles from our apartment.
Not just 20 miles but in another state!
We live in Washington and drive to Idaho.
Im a stay at home mom but we have one car and like I said I dont like spending money so we will only have one car.
We made the decision that the kids and I will stay near Erics work to not just save money on gas and car maintenance but so the kids and I dont have to drive 2 hours 5-6 days a week.
YUP we are not the normal family.
Im here to share with you how we stay fit and healthy even on the rode all day while sharing tips we have learned.
Feel free to ask me questions.

Now you might ask what in the world do we do all day. Which actually on most days isnt bad.
During the summer we went to the parks most of the time.
Its now coming up on winter time though.
So we got a membership at a family gym so we can use the pool and game room.

Life is about to get a little crazier and I would love to share how we live out of the ordinary.

Did i mention I homeschool also......
What is a normal day for you?
Have you considered homeschooling?

My first day after completing the 3 day refresh

I am right where I want to be!


With most programs I'll say ok finish this 21 days and you can have a cheat meal. Not this time, I have no desire to fall off. I haven't felt this great ever. Not one bad food is worth over indulging in when you feel as great as I do.

My breakfast on day 4 was a banana and shakeology tropical strawberry, grapes for a snack, lunch was chicken salad, my other snack was cucumbers and hummus and my first dinner was spaghetti squash yum :)

Start back on track and feel satisfied and don't over eat.
Great program, great results and fast !

She changed her life after 3 kids and a grandbaby! You can do it also

I met this amazing person named Sharon over a year ago.
She didn't know who I was but saw my fb posts and wanted me to coach her so she would look her best for her daughters wedding. Sharon is a wife, mom of 3 and grandma of 1.

She started with 30 days of Hip Hop Abs then shortly after drank Shakeology. She wanted something more so she started Focus T25 then the 21 day fix with Shakeology. In our challenge group she really dug into the nutrition side and she was so open with how she felt daily.

As you can see she didn't let anything get in her way and is now being told she s Teeny.
But she s so much more then that. She learned so much about herself and has motivated her husband to live a healthy life style and has lost 35 plus pounds.
I'm so happy God brought her into my life. She s an amazing friend.

Join us in our next Challenge Group by contacting me today.

Gym vs at home workouts

Let's face it our lives are always going a million miles a minute. We wake up and don't stop till we go to bed. We know we need to be active and eat better to live a longer more fulfilling life so what can we do to make that happen. Gym or workout at home? 

Going to a gym that's open 24 hours is best so no matter what your work schedule is it will be open. There's some great group classes so your not at it alone. If you don't feel confident working out in front of others these classes might not be what you are looking for. Some gyms offer a one day free session with a personal trainer. If you dont know how to use the equipment bring a note pad and ask as many questions as you can. If you don't use the machines properly you either will hurt yourself or not see any results at all. Example, no one told my grandfather to stretch and he ended up hurting himself. 

Purchasing a at home workout program normally includes everything you need. For example Beachbody programs come with the DVDs, schedule for 30, 60 or 90 days, a nutrition guide with a once a day health drink and a coach to help motivate, answer questions and help to make sure you finish your program with great success. The trainer on the DVD also tells and shows you exactly what to do so you don't get injured. When working out at home you will need to plan your day and stick to it. Not like gyms that give you their schedule when to go to a group class. At home you will need to make the schedule. When it's the best time to workout out, that you have the most energy and least amount of distractions. You can take that as good and bad since you can workout in your living room any time you want. If the program you purchase has a coach it's like having a accountability partner to keep you motivated. 

Gym or an at home workout program really depends on your goals and time you can dedicate meaning driving and spending an hour at the gym or working out in your living room for 25-55 minutes. 
Either way you need to schedule and make time to workout. Many workout programs at home do give you a schedule and with that you see results sooner then going to a gym.
