Good Morning Beautiful People!! Happy Tuesday <3

Ever feel like you’re trying to put pieces together and not necessarily to create the masterpiece of your life but just to find some type of rhythm, balance, happiness and of course incorporate a healthier lifestyle? I have to say today I started over on my nutrition and workout program because last week was just a really tough week for me with me being sick majority of the week and unable to work out this week I just feel like I could just bring in a whole new, rejuvenated me.

Cheers to anyone here choosing to start over! I’m right there with you sister!! I’m here to remind you that we’re just building stronger foundations when doing so. There is no shame in seeing that you need to change the course, make a BOLDER commitment (to YOU), and this time maybe ditch those inconsistencies, regret, grief that the past decisions bring.

Something I’ve been reminded of and it keeps coming up is that “you are entirely up to you.” Your results, meeting your goals, your attitude towards well everything is TOTALLY up to you. This switches gears a bit for me and my clients when I remind them your win is entirely up to you staying in the game!!! Can’t stay in the game if you prefer watching on the sidelines and cheering on everyone else’s victory!

We’ve got work to do! If you’re looking for a cute workout. You’ve come to the wrong page! 

Looking for something simple to get a little sweat in and not looking for a mental and physical transformation, than keep on scrolling. 

To be honest this workout has kicked my (dang I can’t curse) every single day for the passed 5+ weeks. 

Its November and that means I can totally spill the beans about being in an Exclusive Pilot Test Group and the details of what you want to know about this cardio step beast of a workout program. 

3 chapters of this workout 

1. Commit 

2. Climb 

3. Conquer 

Its 6 days a week of cardio, endurance, fat burning, high intensity awesomeness. Monday thru Saturday. On Mondays you start of with BURN, by ridding yourself of maybe mistakes you’ve made during the weekend. Then by Tuesday you begin going FASTER, gaining momentum. Mid week you level up by getting STRONGER, you’ve now made it more than 1/2 way through the week so you are definitely becoming more POWERFUL, than you shred or CUT so you can find BALANCE(D). By the end of the week, we go into a recalibrating mode, not only to do it all over again because ALL THE WORKOUTS are different but to increase your progress. Its YOU vs YOU.

It’s GENIUS. Like mad scientist GENIUS. I’ve never done a program EVER like this before.

I’m in my head the entire time in a good way! You have to focus and constantly take your thoughts into the next level of determination. I never once said I can’t wait for this to be over. I’ll be the first to admit sometimes when it gets too hard first thought is to want to quit. In this you want to give it your all. And than it’s done. It’s only 20 mins. 

Everyday it’s excitement all over again to crush your goals. It doesn’t stop there. Each day there are three moves called TRANSFORMERS and each week you have to beat or increase your numbers from the previous week. First week not gonna lie didn’t even see it coming! But you better believe you want to bring your best you each time because you learn right away this is no walk in the park. 

Nutrition plan the most simplest one ever! Easy to follow. Simple recipes. And you’re given options so you can follow 2B Mindset while doing this program which is great because it gives you a sense of flexibility using the nutritional guide. 

My Honest Experience thus far (weeks 1-5) 

So Day 1 I was pumped, excited, happy, nervous, I’m in this secret exclusive pilot test, it’s so amazing and than I bombed the workout. Didn’t love it well because it was like with no warning the gun goes off and than the race is over...had to get use to that. 

I felt like I got caught with my pants down like all while I’m being told to keep up like whaaaa? But each day is brand new! Thats the magic and the following week you get a chance to push through a little harder, go a bit faster, find more balance and get stronger all while going through the motions. 

Click here to read my thoughts on when I first found out I was going to be part of the this Exclusive Pilot Test Group.

Let’s talk about what it means to Commit, to Climb and to Conquer below.

FIRST 2 WEEKS WE COMMIT.

Ask yourself, “How bad do you want this?”

WEEKS 3-4 WE CLIMB.

This is where you’re going to have to take it up a notch. Now you’re already committed to yourself, you’re going to find the power within to climb whatever hurdle you’re found yourself in before. No more, cause we’re climbing!

WEEKS 5-6 WE CONQUER.

Get to a level where you’ve committed, you have now already climbed, now you conquer. You conquer your mind, your goals whether its on and off the scale. You learn you are more than capable to conquer anything in 20minutes.

Are you EXCITED yet? Cause this is going to change your life on so many levels.

Happy Friday Beautiful People

No.1 thing ppl say to me is if I didn’t see your transformation pics I’d never believe you were “overweight” followed by what did you do to make it click? When and how did you find your motivation to be so consistent.

Short answer: 
I got tired of my own B.S and what I was doing to my body.

Long answer:
I was always "active" but looking back I didn't really watch what I ate. After having my two children it became more difficult to stay motivated to do anything else other than work a job I didn’t love, tend to my home & family of 6, & keep up with the kids long list of activities.

So btw life happening, falling into a bout with depression something I never dealt with after having both of my children I didn’t make time for self care. I didn’t even know what that consisted of. I didn’t believe there was time...for me. Struggled with high cholesterol, had a Lyme disease scare so I knew enough was enough I needed to take care of myself so I could be a better parent, wife and person for them and most importantly for myself. 

First I changed the way I ate. A little over 9yrs ago for Lent I gave up meat and from there eliminated all meats with the exception of fish. This jumpstarted something in me but other than that I had no limitations. This was also combined with lots of late night eating, unhealthy snacking, drinking. I’d get a run in here or there or do a Pinterest workout. Nothing consistent. So there was still major work to do.

I’m much more conscious of what I eat more so how my body reacts to the things I eat. Since introducing my daily super foods shake March 2015, and making necessary changes in my nutrition and daily movement my high cholesterol dropped considerably! From 258 (2014) to 212. Still high but the drop gave my dr & I hope that I was finally on the right path. 
Right before my Primary Physician was going to make me take cholesterol.

At 5’3 being 160+ lbs was not okay FOR ME! Non pregnancy weight was at a all time high and my self esteem, motivation was at an all time low. So I had to make a decision...and quick! Plus these blood tests were costing me $$ every 3 months.

That's when I went ALL in & haven't looked back since. I was introduced to at home workouts which made sense for my lifestyle with small children. I than became an advocate for health, joined the Beachbody family the following month to pay it forward to other moms who were like me. Tired, seeking more. Just wanted to find something that worked, have support to stay consistent w/ ppl who knew what they were talking about & actually lived the lifestyle themselves.

Since than I've completed multiple at home workout programs. I’ve studied at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition to further my education to really hone in on my passion to empower women on their wellness journey. To be able to touch the places that need to be healed in order to truly shed the weight.
To date I've gained some much more than I’ve lost. And I’m grateful for it all. Cause now I get to pay it forward.

These incredible programs, my support system (hubby & kids), my 4eva coach, my growing team and this entire community for keeping me accountable & showing me that there’s so much more work to do. I’m grateful for investing in myself all while being able to help others do the same for themselves. It’s a beautiful process watching women win! As a mom sometimes we tend not to make these sacrifices but in the end my family now has the best version of me each and everyday. So much more goals to attain!

Happy Rising Beautiful People,

Realizing just how far you’ve come should be that motivation you need to keep going. What are some of the things you say to yourself that rejuvenates you? Maybe something your younger self, you at your low self need to hear? 

I did this exercise with a group of people and what I’ve learned is that we ALL have some stories within us that need healing. Some old stories that we carry into our adult lives.

Today,
I pray that you take what you need. 

I’m so proud of you. 

•••••

I love you. 

•••••

You are so beautiful.

••••

You’re doing a great job. 

••••

You are more than enough. 

••••

You’re so smart. 

••••

I’m so happy to see you. 

••••

You deserve more than this. 

••••

I’m sorry.

••••

I hope you accept my apology.

••••

I forgive you. 

••••

I’m here whenever you need me.

••••

I’m rooting for you. 

••••

It’s going to be okay don’t cry. 

••••

Crying is okay but you’ve cried enough.

For some of us these may be simple. 

For others this would’ve meant the world years ago and still very relevant now. 

Sis take what you need… My Brothers this is for you as well.
