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.

Motivation Monday

Happy Monday!!!
It takes changing small things daily to create new habits with ease.
Start your new life by not missing your 30 minute workout

How will you make sure to get YOU time?

My private coaching group helps keep you motivated and crushing it every day but we all feel a little sluggish on Mondays. The schedule I follow allows me to not workout with a dvd on Saturday and Sunday but I must motivate myself more on Mondays.

• 2 eggs
• A splash of full-fat coconut milk or even almond milk

1. Preheat your oven to 400 F.
2. Using a heavy object, like a rolling pin, hammer the chicken breasts so that they flatten to an even thickness.

When finished, place the chicken strips on a large baking sheet, leaving some space between each strip and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until chicken has completely cooked through. I did  minutes one side and flipped over for another  minutes because of my oven.

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 :)

What Does Success Look Like to You?

Some of you might not know but two years ago I was overweight and overwhelmed even though I was a stay-at-home mom.
If you're a parent you would know what I'm talking about when the never ending to do list is always in front of you.
The last year I've been driving a lot more so I've been listening to personal development and it really hit me when one of the authors said she was super overwhelmed always had things on her plate when the kids went to bed she didn't stop and I completely related to that.
One of the things she said to do was really look at your life and see what success means to you. Not to somebody else, not to your neighbor, not to your friends but actually to you? If you didn't take anyone's opinion and you just looked at what you really wanted out of your life what would it be.
It took a long time and I wasn't able to really answered on the spot because I had no clue. The last several months I really took money worries off my plate and wrote down a to do list every day to see what really was happening every day in my life and that's when it clicked.
I spent more time cooking, cleaning and yard work of a big house then I did doing the things that I really enjoyed.
So that's when we decided as a family that we are going to downsize from a 2000 square-foot three bedroom two bath family room house with yard to a 3 bedroom two bath apartment.
I still feel overwhelmed like why do I need all the space all I have is a six-year-old and a two-year-old. My kids are so awesome they are very content with what they have.
Shortly after we moved into the apartments my husband got a new job at an RV dealership. This was definitely God because we kept thinking it would be so cool to travel I mean we don't like to stay in one spot all the time but no one we knew had ever lived in an RV before. And honestly a lot people just don't understand it because it's not the normal thing to do. Most feel like the American dream is to live in a big house and work the 8 to 5 job.
But tell me how many people who work the 8 to 5 job went to College make all this money can truly say that they love their life every single day.
So we decided to become full-time RVers and live what we consider the American dream.
This past weekend marks three weeks of living in an RV and yes there are ups and downs just like owning a new home for the first time but it is worth it.

So what would you consider success and what is your own American dream?

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.
