The Best Christmas Gift Ever!

You know what makes an awesome Christmas gift?

The gift of health!

Two years ago I spent money I received as a Christmas gift on a fitness program I’d wanted for MONTHS. I just couldn’t bring myself to spend the money before, but once I had some Christmas cash I couldn’t wait to get that order in!

I had no idea how much that one decision would change my life.

The program was T25, and my husband and I started it together that January. We had a rare opportunity to take a trip to San Diego that spring, and I was DETERMINED to feel confident in a bathing suit for the first time in my life.

T25 was hard, like really freaking hard. I had to modify almost every move in the beginning. But we both fell in love with it, so much that we took the DVDs and a small DVD player to San Diego with us so we didn’t fall behind in the program!! (This was before I knew about Beachbody on Demand, which allows me to take my workouts anywhere I have an internet connection :) ). I was hooked and this was only beginning of a lifelong journey!!

I went from being uncomfortable in my own skin, lacking confidence, and feeling like I was just stuck with this post-baby body type, to seeing my body change in ways I never knew possible. My confidence skyrocketed, my anxiety and depression were finally under control, I was feeling stronger, healthier and HAPPIER than ever.

Halfway through my program I was so in love with how I was feeling that I decided to become a coach. No one asked me to do it, I was just so inspired I knew I HAD to pay it forward!! I believe 100% in everything we stand for: losing weight and getting healthy the RIGHT way, through daily exercise, eating a nutrient-dense diet and maintaining a positive mindset.  

Are you ready for a change?? Ready to let go of insecurity and unhealthy habits, and start living the life you KNOW is possible?? Then let’s talk and get you set up to start your own journey of health and happiness!! I’ll help you find the right fitness program for you (that you can do from home in just 30 minutes per day), get you set up with a simple, straightforward nutrition plan, and add you to my online accountability group where you’ll find support and encouragement from other ladies on a similar journey!!

January will be here before we know it, and I’m gearing up for a HUGE start to 2017...let’s work together and make this your BEST year ever!! Fill out this application to learn more and get started!

Are You Eating Enough?

Are you eating enough? If not, you may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts and your health and fitness goals. Many people assume that consuming fewer calories is always a good thing, but that’s just not the case! Your body needs to be properly fueled in order to run smoothly. If you are only focusing on cutting calories, there’s a good chance you are depriving your body of necessary nutrients. This can actually backfire by causing your body to go into starvation mode which will lower your metabolism. So what’s a better option?

Forget the diet and focus on nutrient density! Make sure you’re getting the nutrients your body needs by eating the right portions of the right foods. Diets usually leave people feeling hungry, tired, irritable and deprived. That’s why they fail! And it’s nearly impossible to keep the weight off after a diet, because there hasn’t been a permanent change. In order to be successful and maintain your weight loss, a lifestyle change is necessary. I use these foolproof color-coded containers to make sure I’m eating enough of the right foods. And I eat 5-6 times per day!

If you feel hungry, tired and grouchy while you’re trying to lose weight, you’re not doing it right!! Find healthy foods you enjoy eating. Try new things. Focus on cutting out processed, unhealthy foods a little at a time. Make sure you eat every 3-4 hours. There’s no need to deprive yourself, just fuel your body!!
