Ever wonder why you just can't seem to lose weight? Have you tried every diet imaginable without success? Have you tried not eating during the day in hopes of losing weight quickly? Have you tried to fast to lose stubborn weight? Do you workout regularly without losing a pound? If you are a woman living in the United States, chances are, you have answered YES to at least one of these questions. A majority of the clients that I have worked with that have 20 lbs. or more that they would like to lose, have the following points in common.

1.) They rarely eat meals throughout the day. However, when they do eat, it's a large amount of unhealthy food.

2.) They don't understand why they aren't losing weight because they rarely eat.

There can be many factors that influence a persons ability or inability to lose weight. Calories in versus calories out is usually the most common factor. However, slower metabolic functioning due to eating habits, fad diets, and fasting can also play a role in determining whether or not you will be able to rid your body of unwanted fat. Dr. Oz recently aired an awesome episode on boosting your metabolism. He provides a very simple 7 day plan to boost your metabolism and lose weight. I have also provided a link to an article from Shape Magazine on boosting your metabolism.

Beachbody Challenge

What is the Beachbody Challenge?

I have had so many clients ask me about the Beachbody Challenge and what makes it different from other workout programs and challenges offered by other companies. So, I thought I would do this blog post to provide my answer to these questions. The Beachbody Challenge offers people something very unique that is summed up in this equation. FITNESS + NUTRITION+SUPPORT=SUCCESS.

I remember heading to the gym years back, getting there, and having NO CLUE what to do or where to start. I remember leaving the gym and driving straight to the 9 Beans drive thru to get dinner. I had no clue about nutrition, what types of workouts I should be doing and when, and to top it off. I didn't have anyone to keep me accountable.

The Beachbody Challenge addresses all of these issues!! And....you can do this all in the comfort of YOUR OWN HOME!! NO GYM REQUIRED!



My team of coaches and I create a private Facebook group for each of our challenge groups. We post small assignments or motivational messages each day to keep the group motivated and moving forward throughout the duration of the challenge. The assignments are super easy and created with the intention of providing support, valuable information, and accountability.

Here is what one of my challengers had to say about one of our Brazil Butt Lift Challenge groups.

This is my friend Lindsay's amazing transformation picture! It all started with her decision to start a program!

 

Lindsay states, "I did P90X, CLX, The Reset and I am in my 3rd week of BBL. I drank Shakeology every day. I lost 30lbs of fat and probably gained 10lbs in muscle. I have lost 3 pants sizes and 14 inches."

 

 

 

 



 



Change

Recently, I made the decision to make a major change in my life. I left my job of 10 years to stay at home with my son who is now 3 years old. I spent years stressing over work and situations at work that were beyond my control. I dreamed of being able to leave the workplace and make the transition to be a stay-at-home-mom.

 

 

I have reflected alot on this scenario and wonder why I didn't make this transition sooner. Why do so many of us choose to stay in situations that don't bring out the best in us? Why did I wait so long to make my move? What was holding me back ? What holds most of us back from making drastic changes in our lives that we know deep down are for the best? The answer to that is FEAR. We fear the unknown. What if I can't find another job? What if I can't find someone else? What if I don't make enough money? What if my new endeavor isn't all that I dreamed of? The bottom line is that most of us have allowed fear to control our lives.

 

Best practice in the field of early childhood is to encourage children to take risks. We want children to be inquisitive and to have intrinsic motivation to try things that are completely out of the ordinary. We want our children to become creative thinkers, problem-solvers, and to develop a love for learning. However, somewhere along the way, many of us lose these qualities as adults. We become stuck in the same old routine. Doing the same things that we have always done. We have no desire for self-improvement, learning, or change of any sort. Through experiences that we have been taught by society to view as failures, we have been conditioned to fear taking risks.

So, if you know deep in your heart that you are ready for a major change, don't waste your valuable time! Life is too short to be unhappy. Don't feel obligated to anything or anybody. You are the most important person in your life and you need to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else. Take some time to reflect on your priorities and make a plan. If what you are doing or not during currently does not support your top 3 priorities, that is a sign that change could be beneficial to your life.

Now here's food for thought. Instead of thinking about everything that MIGHT go wrong, reframe your thoughts. Write down all of your fears and then reword those fears. I can find an amazing job. I can find someone that will treat me respectfully. I can make more money than I have ever imagined. Most of the world's most successful people aren't afraid to take risks. They aren't afraid to step outside the box and do not let failure define them. I honestly believe in the power of positive self-talk and the power of positive thinking. If you know that your change will be positive, your actions align with your thoughts, opportunities are endless and the sky is the limit. Believe in yourself and others will believe in you <3

Workouts for Stay at Home Moms

Who said being a stay at home mom is easy??? Wow, I have been a stay at home mom for 2 weeks and I cannot believe how busy I am each day! It literally feels like I am running all day non stop. Even when you are home, it is very difficult to devote time to yourself. However, this "me-time" is essential to maintaining your overall health and happiness.

Dedicating at least 30 minutes a day to a workout regimen can make a world of difference. Endorphins released after a great workout can increase your mood and increase your energy levels. Both of which are definitely needed to keep up with your kids and endless responsibilities. Many Beachbody workout plans are specially designed to give you the most bang for your buck. The creators of these programs are well aware that our time is VALUABLE! Therefore, programs such as 10 Minute Trainer were created to provide you an awesome workout in just 10 minutes a day. Who doesn't have 10 minutes a day to devote to improving their life? Women all over the globe are turning to Beachbody's workout routines to get fit in the comfort of their own home at a time that works for them each day.

Another appealing aspect of Beachbody is that stay at home moms can make a living off of getting fit and helping others do the same. Beachbody fitness coaches get paid for getting in shape and sharing their journey with others! Beachbody is the one-stop-shop for stay at home mommies that want to get fit and design the life of their dreams.
