Let's get this blogging started

Hey ALL!
Life has been all over the place these last few weeks. The hubs has had a different work schedule, that allowed him to be home more. The reason for that is we are officially moving across the country later this summer but before we make the move he has to go to school for training. All of this happening he worked it to spend more time home before he heads to the school. So I got the blog started and then everything has been thrown off, in a good way more family time!
I have big plans to get myself on a schedule for my blog! Since I started it I've been posting a lot about my fitness journey with beachbody, which I will continue to do but there is so much more to me and my family. So continue to follow me because I have so much more to share!

Real Life

I was planning to do a series of blog posts touring our lovely home, BUT I am not the best photographer and with the two kiddos I never can get a picture of the rooms without toys and sippy cups thrown everywhere, so it's taking time.
Today the house was clean of all toys during nap time so I decided to take a quick snapshot of our living room named the watching room by the girls I guess because its the only room you can watch tv.
Keep an eye out for the next room. ;)

The sun is shining and I am Happy!

Since becoming an online beachbody fitness coach I've really been struggling to find my niche. I'll admit that when I decided to be part of beachbody I didn't know exactly what I was getting myself into. Yes, I do have an awesome upline coach who provided me with a lot of information, but I really went into it thinking hey I love spreading the word on good health and fitness and really love beachbody, their products and what they represent so I'm in! Then I got started and became overwhelmed, I was afraid that even though I am in this for the right reasons, which is to motivate and inspire others to start their fitness journeys while watching mine and keeping each other accountable, that I would come off to my friends, family and people who I meet along the way as just another sales person trying to sell them something. 

After I took the time to talk to my husband, close friends and did some person development that feeling is now gone. I know that I am here for the right reasons and that beachbody and it's products do amazing things to allow everyone to reach their fitness goals if done right. 

I may be asking you to buy something but it is something that has personally changed my life for the better and I want everyone to experience the same with the products beachbody can provide. I know  just as much as the next person that you can reach your fitness goals with all different types of diets, and workout programs but none of them add the support, motivation and accountability that I am willing to offer, I want to be that annoying personal trainer and friend that some days you hate and others days you love and appreciate  for consistently "bugging" you till you have reached your goal and then continue to be friends and support each other beyond that.

In a little over a week I will be starting my first fitness challenge and at the moment the number of people in this challenge is small and some have not even fully committed but that's ok it's not about the number of people its about truly helping the ones that want that change of living happier, healthier lives. 

There is still time is you would like to join my small group this month. ;)

It cost how much?!?!

The biggest objection I get with Shakeology and the Beachbody workouts are the price tags. I get super excited when I'm talking to someone who has started their fitness journey that may just need that extra push or wants to start their journey with me. For me its like a kid at Christmas the excitement I get when someone wants to kick butt and feel and look healthier.
Then I get shot down because of the price it takes to start that journey. "I would love to give Shakeology a try, but I'm on a tight budget." "I really want to get back in shape but I can't afford that right now."
I'm here to tell you that I don't have the money either but I budget in my monthly Shakeology. We are a family living on one income and it is not because my husband makes so much money that I don't need to work it is because I can't afford to work outside the home. You heard me I would be working minimum wage with long hours and putting my girls in childcare and then finish my work week with a paycheck that I would then hand over to the daycare. We get all our bills paid and live in a nice home and have cars in the driveway but after bills are paid and groceries are bought we don't have a lot of wiggle room but I make it work so I can have something that gives me the nutrition my body needs and energy I require to live the life I want to live.
It's all about making your body, your life top priority. Shakeology is $130 plus tax & shipping, yes giving up that kind of money in one lump sum every month seems like a lot but it really isn't when you break it down day to day. It is about $4 a day, stop and think....What have you spend money on today? Was it over $4? Was it even something you needed? Or wanted? I know just as well as the next mama who considers Target their mecca how easily you walk out of there getting WAY more than you originally went in for. My Target just put in a Starbucks, for a coffee lover it takes a lot to walk past the smell of goodness and not stop to purchase a good cup a joe. Then you have the dollar bin section that hosts a load of cute things that you don't need but it sucks you in anyway.
That is just Target, there are many other events that happen through the day where you spend money on unnecessary things, that even right now you think are necessary but are they really?
Here is a little compound effect for you. Starting tomorrow every time you spend $4 or more on something that you really didn't need write it down, continue to do it everyday for 30 days and then add it all up. How much was it? $130...more?
When you are truly ready to take that step to a healthier, happier you don't let money hold you back. Your WHY is way bigger then any price tag. You are worth it!

How did you spend Memorial Day weekend?

Hey guys! Did you get to enjoy a nice long Memorial Day weekend? We did! It wasn't an epic weekend or anything, but we did make sure to take time and reflect and remember the reason we get to have this long weekend.
As a family we went to the wear blue run to remember ceremony. Wear blue is a community that honors the service and sacrifice of the American military. Running is the way they honor and remember America's service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
