Is this really our job??????

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!! 🙌
I could NOT be more excited!!!!!!!!!!!
Our company JUST announced our 2017 SUCCESS CLUB & we get to go back to our HONEYMOON SPOT!!!! heart emoticon
.............PUNTA CANA!!! ☀🌊🌴
This is so cool!!!!! Only THIS time --- it's going to be a trip we EARN -- NOT a trip we have to pay for which makes it even sweeter!
And I get to bring my husband & vacation with my fellow Beachbody coaches who've become some of our closest friends. AHHHHH we can't wait!!!!!
And they don't just take us to just any resorts -- this is a 5-star LUXURY Golf Resort & Spa which looks absolutely ah-mazzzzzing!!!!
But the BEST part is -- MY COACHES ALSO get to earn this trip FREE for them {and their spouse or a guest} as well! So if YOU are thinking about becoming a coach -- NOW would be the time!!!! (And if you've been looking for a sign.....THIS is probably it!) wink emoticon 
I seriously have to PINCH myself that THIS is our jobs sometimes.
I remember at my corporate medical sales job -- no only did I earn LESS each year, but only a "select few" made it to the success trips each year.
Not Beachbody! We ALL get a chance to earn our free spot on the trip by SIMPLY helping just 3 people get started on their health & fitness journey each month. That's it!! So not only do we get paid for helping people -- get rewarded MONTHLY -- but also earn an insanely AWESOME Success Club trip every. single. year. So thankful I said YES to this opportunity 2 yrs ago. I truly can't imagine doing ANYthing else heart emoticon

Week 1 Hammer & Chisel Meal Plan

Hey guys!  As promised, I am sharing my Week 1 meal plan for The Master's Hammer and Chisel program.  Note:  Please make sure you follow the instructions in your program brochure to determine the proper calorie plan for you.  I am following Plan B (1,500-1,799 calories).  And if you are following the eating plan to a  "T", note that there is no alcohol or "cheats" allowed, so it's up to you how closely you follow it, BUT I will tell you from my own personal experience being in Beachbody's Official Master's Hammer & Chisel test group before it launched, I had to follow it to a  "T" and I got really incredible results (below)!  It's an adjustment at first (especially cutting out wine!) but that is why I added a cup of hot, green tea at night because it helps with late-night cravings.  And Shakeology during the day helps to eliminate my day-time cravings for sugar & junk food.  My water intake I calculated by taking my starting weight (now 132 lbs) and dividing in by half.  So for example, if you weight 140 lbs, your daily water intake should be 70 oz per day.  I do drink coffee every morning but I did not add it in my meal plan because I did not add anything (other than a dash of Sugar In the Raw).  And with blending my Shakeology, I only add water (I do not use almond milk etc).  You can find a lot of the recipes I used here on my blog by clicking on the Clean Eating tab, then Recipes (above).  You'll notice I like to keep the same staple foods for almost every meal except for dinner -- it just makes it easier for me but feel free to switch yours up!  If you have any questions about the meal plan or creating one for yourself, please feel free to message me on Facebook!

Below are my results from Day 1 to Day 60.  Follow the meal plan with Shakeology and daily workouts, I lost 5 lbs, 4 inches, with 3 inches alone off my waist.  On days we had the power lifting workouts, if I felt hungrier, I would add in Beachbody's Recovery shake as well. And on occasions when I was really tired, I would use Beachbody's Energize pre-workout supplement.  I also used 5 lbs for my light set of weights, 10 lbs for my medium set, 15 lbs for my heavy, and 20 lbs for my really heavy set.  I also used a resistance band instead of a chin up bar, and I did opt for an incline bench, instead of using a stability ball, but you can use either.

Pasta Pomodoro with Chicken

Ingredients

1 8 oz-package of whole grain capellini pasta
1/4 cup EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 lb organic chicken breasts
4 Roma tomatoes, chopped (or 28 ounce can peeled tomatoes, puréed in a food processor)

1 tablespoon chopped, fresh basil
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Sea salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place chicken breasts in a glass baking dish for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until fully cooked -- making sure to turn chicken halfway through cooking.

2.  While the chicken is baking, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked until al dente. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

1. 
   

3.  Once chicken if fully cooked, remove from oven and cut into 1/4 in pieces.  

4.  Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Place onion and garlic in the skillet in and cook until the onions are tender and caramelized.  Stir in the chicken, season with salt and pepper, then reduce the heat to medium. 

5. Toss the pasta, tomatoes, and basil with the chicken. Stir in up to 1 cup of water if the pasta becomes dry.  Serve and sprinkle with the shaved Parmesan cheese.   Enjoy!

21 Day Fix Containers:

Pasta - Yellow container

Sauce with vegetables - Green container

 Whether you're a MOM who stays home with her babies, or a mom who WANTS to stay home with her babies, or maybe you're a ‪#‎girlboss‬ looking to start your own successful home business doing something you LOVE...this post is for you!  heart emoticon
.
A little over 2 yrs ago, my dream was to be a stay at home mom. From the moment my daughter was born, the thought of leaving her to go back to work DEVASTATED ME. Six weeks after she was born, I went back full-time (60 hrs/week). My husband & I both had great jobs but with a brand new mortgage, 2 car payments, 2 student loans, a new baby, medical bills, diapers, etc. -- we were still paycheck to paycheck. 
.
2 years after going back to work full-time, leaving in the morning before she even woke up, coming home with just enough time to feed her, bathe her & put her to bed, I had hit my breaking point. I NEEDED to figure out what I was MEANT to do with my life. I wasn't happy. I felt unfulfilled at work. We were stressed. I just wanted to be HOME raising my beautiful daughter & enjoying all the little moments that I had been missing out on. I wanted something that would give me FREEDOM & FLEXIBILITY. Something I LOVED doing that would allow me to provide for my FAMILY financially & also let ME be my own boss. I was CRAVING the freedom to live my life by design. That next day is when I learned about coaching and my life has been forever changed heart emoticon
.
Fast forward:::: 7 months later, I was able to walk away from my full-time job FOREVER. After 18 months, I was earning a six-figure income. After 24 months, we are earning in 5 weeks what I used to earn in 5 months. I am the happiest I've ever been, I'm in the best shape of my life, we are no longer stressed financially, I can for the first time in my life say that I truly LOVE what I do & wake up with PASSION, I make MY own schedule, work when I want, take off when I want, I never have to leave my home, I get to help people every single day, I get to mentor others & show them how to be successful as well, we get to TRAVEL all the time now, earn FREE trips (that I can bring my husband & friends on!)... it's really been the biggest blessing & I truly cannot imagine my life now any other way. I didn't have any special skills, I wasn't a business, fitness or nutrition expert... I was just a mom that just wanted to be HOME with her baby and DREAMED a little BIGGER then most are willing to dream & I NEVER GAVE UP on that dream. And most importantly -- I looked at this opportunity & I said "WHY NOT ME!!"  heart emoticon

BUSY MOMS -- Can you relate?!??  🙋

"I have 3 children: ages 3, 6 and 9. I worked 30 hrs a week and was always busy with work and kid duties. I always felt guilt spending time on myself. All of my clothes were tight on me and I just felt like a sloth.

What inspired me to begin transforming, was seeing many member in my family be diagnosed with: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, etc. All of these diseases are mostly PREVENTABLE! I also work in the medical field and determined that ‘I’ need to be the example for my patients and for my family. Prevent the preventable through hard work and dedication!

I started seeing results! I got motivated. I felt better! People started noticing! Then I thought to myself…I want to help others and be their support and encouragement they need to get healthy. So I joined Beachbody! I am so looking forward to this journey on working on the preventative side of health. That’s what healthcare should be, not ‘sick’care.

I loved Yoga because it made me feel rejuvenated. Stretching your muscles makes me feel like my circulation as been restored. It’s amazing how much better your mood is also. PiYO is the best of both worlds. It stretches, it tones, it strengthens, it gets your heart rate up, it’s low impact but higher impact if you want to make it that way. There are modifications if you need them. I feel like my balance is better, my tone is better, my energy and mood is better! I am just so excited to share it with others!"

IF YOU are READY for your "AFTER" picture & to invest in YOURSELF -- APPLY BELOW for your spot in my September Fitness Challenge where you'll get:
1) The complete PiYO home workout program (ON SALE through me this month for $10)
2) Superfood dense nutrition for 30-days, Eating plan w/ recipes & tips
3) Support + accountability of an online (private) challenge group to keep you motivated & on track to finish the program & get RESULTS!
