My Small, Simple Tips for Living a Healthy Lifestyle, Everyday.

As a busy mom of 4, taking care of my own health and wellness is super important, but it can sometimes take a backseat to my kids' needs.  That's why my favorite wellness tips are just small, simple steps that I can take each and everyday to ensure that I'm taking good care of myself as well.


Each morning, I begin my day by drinking a warm cup of lemon water while I pack my kids' lunches.  I do this to start hydrating for the day, as well as to get my digestive system up and running.  The vitamin C and mineral content of lemons helps to cleanse my body of toxins, while also boosting my immune system, which we can all benefit from during the 'Back to School' season, am I right?

Next up, is bus stop time.  Getting the kids ready in the morning, finding shoes, packing their backpacks and getting them out the door is a workout in itself, but I also make sure that we leave in time to walk to the bus stop each morning.  This includes a good 10 minute walk (more like a brisk speed-walk on the mornings we're running a little later) and once the kids are loaded on the bus, my littlest one and I take a stroll around the neighborhood with our cute little Jack Russell Terrier.  That way, I've gotten a fun, active workout in while getting the dog walked and entertaining my busy 3-year-old.  Finding time to stay physically active everyday is key!


Meal planning for me is also key!  If I don't prepare healthy meals ahead of time, then I'm much more likely to make unhealthy choices with my busy, on-the-go lifestyle.  When most people hear the work "meal prep" they get overwhelmed, but honestly, it's super quick and easy, but it does involve... wait for it... PLANNING!  I am always on Pinterest looking for new meal ideas and ways to save time on my prepping and planning.  I also use Tupperware containers to portion them out and store them in the refrigerator for quick and easy access.  And when in doubt, eat lots of veggies!  That's my motto!

And lastly, get your rest!  With 4 kids, a good night's sleep is not always guaranteed, which is why I try my best to stick to a routine and get to bed at a decent time.  The recommended sleep is 8 hours, but if we're being honest, that doesn't always happen.  But the nights where I make sure to get in bed by 10:30PM, I wake up feeling more refreshed, have more energy to keep up with my kids and our busy schedule and I have more motivation to stay on track with a healthy lifestyle.

Those are my favorite tips! What are yours?

And for those of you who may be interested in learning more about some new and exciting information of metabolism and the science of healthy living, I highly recommend that you check out this page on NAD+ and cellular health.  Whether you struggle with food, sleep, exercise or a little of everything, they have some great supplements that can help you get on the path to a healthier lifestyle with simple changes.

5 Tips for Getting Motivated to Workout (when you really don't feel like it)


Who here struggles with finding the motivation to workout regularly? If this sounds like you, I can promise that YOU. ARE. NOT. ALONE!
.
I'm an online health and fitness coach and help people with this problem each and every day... shoot, even I sometimes struggle with motivation, which is why I wanted to share my TOP 5 TIPS for GETTING MOTIVATED to WORKOUT (when you really don't feel like it):
.
So here goes nothing! I'm just going to jump right into my TOP 5 TIPS:
.
1. HAVE A PLAN!
*Now when I say have a plan, I don't just mean plan to workout everyday.  I mean actually have a very specific plan for WHAT workouts you will do on WHICH days of the week as well as know exactly WHEN you will schedule your daily workouts into your busy schedule each day and WHERE you will get them done at.  You may think this is too detailed and not necessary, but I can promise you that if you have a calendar telling you exactly which workouts you will need to do each day and you make this workout a part of your daily routine, then you will be MUCH more likely to stick with it and stay motivated each day!
.
2. HAVE A GOAL TO WORK TOWARDS!
*Working out is something that many people start to do because they wish to reach a certain goal--whether it be a weight loss goal, a goal to get lean and tone up, lose the baby weight after giving birth... you name it!  Everyone is unique and has their own personal goals, but being aware of these goals, writing it down and putting it on display somewhere where you will see it multiple times a day, is going to remind you of WHY you decided to workout regularly in the first time and will help keep you MOTIVATED to reach that goal!  Make sure that your goals are S.M.A.R.T (Specific. Measureable. Attainable. Realistic. Timely.)
.
3. HAVE AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER!
*This is such a great way to stay motivated!  Think about it... if we didn't have a boss holding us accountable to show up for work everyday, we would be much more likely to slack off and skip days when we don't feel like doing the work.  The same goes for working out. You're going to have days where you just aren't feeling it, but having an accountability partner to check in with each day will keep you motivated... especially when they check in with you first and ask if you've gotten your workout in yet.  As a coach, I have found that most people's success with their workout programs, depend on their daily participation in my online support
and accountability groups.  Those who stay accountable are much more likely to see results and therefore even more motivated to stay consistent.
.
4. REWARD YOURSELF!
*We've already talked about setting goals to get motivated, but another great way to STAY motivated is to reward yourself for staying consistent with your daily workouts and hitting those goals!  It doesn't have to be anything crazy... Sometimes I will simply tell myself that if I get my workout in today, I will allow myself to have a glass of wine with dinner. Or those cute workout pants that I saw at Victoria's Secret, are all mine if I hit that weight loss goal by the end of the month. The bigger the goal that you hit, the better the reward! This gives you that motivation to work even harder.
.
5. REMEMBER 'WHY' YOU STARTED:
* One of the first things I ask the ladies in my online support and accountability groups, is WHY did you decide to make this positive change in your life?  WHY is working out and living a healthy lifestyle something that you want or need to do? And I'm not just talking about reiterating those goals... (ie: "because I want to lose 15 pounds").  That's great, but WHY do you want to lose 15 pounds? Do you want to stop feeling insecure when you're with your kids at the swimming pool this summer? Does diabetes run in your family and you want to prevent yourself from having to deal with health issues that you've watched other loved ones struggle with?  Do you want to be a positive role model for your children and set them up for a healthy life from the start? This is the most motivating of them all when you truly find your 'WHY'.  I can just about guarantee that whenever you aren't feeling motivated, THIS will give you that boost
I hope you've found these tips helpful!!! If you have any questions for me or want help getting started on a workout schedule or need to be held accountable, that's what I'm here for, so don't hesitate to shoot me a message or apply for one of my online health & fitness support and accountability groups that I run monthly.

Join a Free Fit Club to Reach Your Fitness Goals in 2016

Having trouble sticking to your New Years Resolution already??



You swore that this year would be different... you swore that you would start working out consistently, eat healthier and be the BEST version of YOU ever in 2016! Right?
But we're not even a week into the new year and you're already losing motivation, fallen a little off track and realize that you haven't planned nearly as well as you should have to succeeded this time around?? Am I onto you?... ;)

Well, you're in luck, because that's my JOB! That's what I make a living doing-- helping women just like YOU-- SUCCEED at reaching those health and fitness goals that you dream of hitting! 
You can set all the goals that you want, but without an actual plan, fitness routine, meal guide, and most importantly, SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY, it's going to be nearly impossible to hit those goals all on your own.

I am an online health and fitness coach, a certified Insanity instructor, a busy wife and mom of 4 and a health nut who thrives on HELPING others realize their full potential and not only look and feel better, but LIVE better! 

Living a healthy and active life is not a fad or trend that's just exciting once the New Year hits... it's a LIFESTYLE!  One that many people aren't exactly sure how to start, but I have all of the tools, support and encouragement that you'll need to make some positive changes in your life this year!

If you're interested in more information on how you can join my online health and fitness group: The Fabulously Fit Friends Club, then please fill out a form at the link below so I can get you the details.  (PS- you don't have to be anywhere close to "Fabulously Fit" right now... but I can't promise you won't be FABULOUSLY FIT once we're done!)  ;)

I look forward to helping you on this journey to health and happiness in 2016!!

How to Lose Weight And Get Bikini Ready the Healthy Way!

When I started my journey to a healthier version of me, it wasn't that I was necessarily way overweight, I was just UNHEALTHY! You probably wouldn't know it just from simply looking at me, but my body was taking a beating. I was so wrapped up in taking care of everyone else (especially my children), that I put all of my own needs on the back burner. We tried doing the whole gym membership thing, but with multiple kids, it was exhausting just packing them all up, signing them into childcare and then the whole time I was working out, I felt guilty and was worried about how my kids were doing (because half the time, my son was crying and reaching for me as I dropped him off and said "PEACE OUT"... this mama's time!!)


Now, I get to do my workouts from the comfort of my own home and my children are actually able to watch, learn and look up to me as a role model when they see me putting my health and fitness as a priority! The fact that some days THEY are the ones that motivate me and remind me to 'PUSH PLAY' on my workouts, brings a huge smile and sense of accomplishment to my heart! I'm not just doing this for ME, I'm doing it just as much FOR THEM! heart emoticon

Right now, I am paying it forward and helping other women and mom's get started NOW, & they are SO PROUD of themselves!


I'm opening up my next Challenge Group in about 2 weeks!
We START on March 2nd ... So you have PLENTY of time to decide OR re-arrange some $ in your budget.

If you have some stubborn areas, baby weight or just want to lose some weight and tone it up with spring right around the corner, then this group is for you!



Just a heads up:

1. You have to INVEST in yourself and at least meet me halfway! If you are not going to commit to a healthier meal plan then don't waste your money.

2. I'm only selecting 15 ladies TOTAL! I like to get to KNOW my challengers and really be available to HELP them one on one!

3. If you don't already have a Beachbody fitness program (P90X, Insanity, T25, 21 Day Fix) you have to invest in a program/shakeology and while I wish it was free...it's not. {$140-$200 which includes a fitness program, online coaching, and a month supply of one meal/day you'll replace}

4. The Challenge is 21+ days and if you stay committed, we will talk about the next step!

Try the brand new 21 Day Fix Extreme!


Oh my GOSH!!! I'm so freaking excited! For those of you who know me, you know how much I LOVE the original 21 Day Fix program and all the the incredible transformations that my challengers have had with it!  It's the first program to incorporate the portion control containers and clean eating grocery lists, recipe guides, meal planning tips AND the chance to try Shakeology all into one program!!  And just 30 minutes of exercise a day to get such amazing results just seems crazy, but it really works and that's why it's been such a huge success!!



Now, if you are interested in kicking it up a notch (in the health department as well as fitness...), the 21 Day Fix EXTREME launch is officially HERE!!! Since I am a Coach with Beachbody, you can try this program before it's available to anyone else through the informercials and websites.  I will be looking for people who want to make a lifestyle change and take just 21 days to transform their health and fitness!! This is only for those who are disciplined, dedicated and ready to see dramatic changes in the next 21 days!!

Below is a quick video and more information about the program as well as an application to apply for my first official 21 Day Fix Extreme Test Group!!! You will not want to miss out on this group, I promise!! Who knows... you could be featured on the next infomercial if you buckle down and give it your all for just 21 day!! Who is ready to do this with me??? 

 

  So who is this program for?

1.  People who want a dramatic short term weight loss solution for a big event like a vacation, wedding, photo shoot ect....

2.  21 Day Fix Graduates or individuals who have completed programs like P90X, P90X3, Insanity Max30, T25, Turbofire, Asylum, Chalean Extreme.

3.  People who do not have a lot of weight to lose that are dedicated, committed to following the nutrition plan and have a no BS attitude.  There are no excuses, if you want the results its time to dig a little deeper and get them!  The biggest key to this program is the nutrition plan!  Having that will power to say no to the treats!  The great part is that you are not on this journey alone.  My job is to have you in my closed online support and accountability group and coach you through the entire program from beginning to end.  My goal is to make sure that you do in fact get the very best results possible.  I will provide daily accountability, tips, recipes, and we will cheer each other on and help each other stay focused when life gets in the way! Accountability was definitely the secret sauce for me!!!

4.  This program is also for people who don't want to count calories or macros. Its based on a simple and easy to follow portion controlled container system that gives you a very specific list of foods and ways to prep and prepare your meals.

Don't Feel Like Working Out? Can't Find Time? Need Accountability? My Advice 3 Months Post Partum:

Poll time:
What is your #1 reason that you don't workout regularly or can't seem to stick to a workout program, gym routine or whatever you have tried to do for regular exercise?
A. I don't have time
B. no accountability (I need someone who will make me feel like I have to do it and stick with it everyday)
C. I don't know what kind of exercises to do or how much of it to do in order to really see any results
D. Other (give your reason below)



I know what I always struggled with most, in the past was B (accountability!!!). I grew up doing gymnastics and cheerleading and had pretty strict coaches who were ALWAYS pushing me, testing me, checking up in my progress (or lack of it at times) and once I had kids and was on my own, I found it hard to motivate myself to workout regularly, because there was absolutely no one that I had to check in with or be held accountable to... No one would even know if I got my workout in or skipped it each day, except for myself...

That is why I LOVE having my challengers join me on this journey of mine!! They hold me just as accountable as I hold them! Today was one of those days where I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, it was rainy (for like the 5th day in a row!) and I knew all day I just wasn't going to be able to find the motivation to push play and workout!

But then I began to see all of my challengers posting their sweaty workout pics or just saying how great they felt that they got their workout in for the day and I could t be the one to have to post and tell them that I just couldn't fit my workout in today!

So at 7pm, I put in my T25 DVD, gave it my all and was so proud if myself afterwards! I told my group that I almost skipped today, but I didn't want to let them down!!

Okay, so that's my rant for the night!! I'm all pumped up now and feeling accomplished! It's the little things...

And if you find that you also struggle with accountability and want to learn more about my private online challenge groups and free coaching, click here and check it out!

Quit Making Excuses! Let me help you LOSE WEIGHT, TONE UP and EAT HEALTHY!

Last week I made the decision to start my T25 workout program all over again since I got off track with our beach trip and school starting and I needed a FRESH start! There's just something about fall weather that makes me want to workout too... Don't ya agree?

My challenge group is up and running now and we've already shared some super yummy (healthy) recipes, shared some of the goals that we are going to achieve by the end of it and determined "WHY" we want to achieve those goals (these dig much deeper than just wanting to lose weight or look good). 

I'm so excited to see these people work hard and stay accountable so that they can live healthier lifestyles, feel better about themselves, have more energy to keep up with their busy lives and most importantly be happier about their bodies and have more confidence in themselves by the end of this process! 

I'm always excited to help new people reach their goals and not only provide them with the tools and resources, but also the support and accountability that they need in order to finish a fitness program from start to finish!!

If that sounds like something that you think you may need to help get you to your goal weight or change your eating habits, then feel free to APPLY HERE and I can get you more details about how my online Challenge Groups work!

How to Lose the Baby Weight FAST! My Progress at 3 Weeks Postpartum with Baby #4!

I've been going back and forth on whether or not to share pics of my post baby body at almost 3 weeks postpartum. The message that I want to send is that by staying active, eating healthy and just living a healthy lifestyle while you're pregnant, can make it much easier to get back to your pre baby body afterwards. This was my GO-TO program during my pregnancy this time around, just in case you're curious!


While I'm not close to where I hope to be in a few months, muscle-wise, I can say that I am feeling great and have gained the confidence throughout this journey, to rock a bikini already...whether I'm at my goal weight and size or not! And this is just MY own personal journey and story and by no means am I saying that everyone should be able to bounce right back after a baby...because everyone is unique and has their own personal time frames that are best for them to get back in shape after giving birth! I'm still pretty sore from my c-section and just the thought of a sit-up at this time, is painful! But this is where continued clean eating and breastfeeding can work wonders!

I just want to motivate and inspire those of you who think that it's impossible to get back in shape or get in even better shape than you may have been in, pre baby! It takes self-discipline, motivation, commitment, support and hard-work...but it's so worth it in the long run!!

Fit Tip of the Day: Do NOT skip MEALS to Lose Weight!





Many people think that if they just skip meals throughout the day, then they'll lose weight! Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but that will only trick your body into thinking you're "starving" and will store what you do eat as fat. Your metabolism will slow down and it will make it harder for you to burn fat and build muscle.
I am doing this special program right now where I actually have to eat 6 MEALS a day!! They are perfectly portioned out for me-- I get just enough carbs, proteins, fruits, veggies, fats (YES, even some fats are healthy and necessary for your body to function at it's best!) I love it because I'm never too full, I'm never hungry and I have way more energy throughout the day to keep up with my little ones.



*helpful tip: pack a bunch of small ziplock bags of healthy snacks that you can grab for throughout the day or toss in a bag to bring to work to snack on, so you're less likely to eat from the vending machine or not eat at all.
