The Skin You’re In…
The skin we’re in. Thick. Thin. Pale. Tan. Brown. White. Freckled. Dotted with cellulite. Lined with stretch marks. Wrinkly. Shiny. We’re so quick to judge ourselves on appearances. But how many of us can say that we’re comfortable in that skin. That we’re getting rid of judging, and moving onto acceptance. It’s taken me a lot of years to get to this point. To be comfortable in my body. To love the cellulite and the imperfections and the wrinkles. I didn’t always. So I decided one day to ask for help. I was tired of being tired, being self conscious, and not getting the results I wanted from…

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Shakeology
I don’t know about you, but the week of Valentine’s Day isn’t an easy one if you’re trying to reach your fitness goals. Chocolate everywhere. Jumbo sized chocolate kisses. Boxes upon boxes of chocolates. Chocolate covered chocolate. My head says yes but my skinny jeans say no. So I had to make my own chocolate covered strawberry Shakeology today to combat the candy and cravings surrounding me all week! This turned out just heavenly! I am in LOVE! I hope you enjoy as much as I did! Ingredients: 1/2 scoop Chocolate Shakeology 1/2 scoop Strawberry Shakeology 4 medium strawberries, rinsed and stems cut off 1 cup vanilla unsweetened almond…

Meal Prep Madness
We are the epitome of busy. We have three girls ages 8, 5, and 3. My husband travels some for work. I am a nurse (not currently practicing). I run a business from my home helping people meet their fitness and nutritional goals. We workout daily. I grocery shop. I run monthly accountability groups for my clients. We prepare our meals fresh. We have even been known to do fitness competitions. My life is a constant whirlwind. I need a cleaning service. And a laundry service. Most days I don’t have time to prepare for what is thrown at me. But I’ve come to learn how important it is to…

Why I Became a Beachbody Coach
I remember that day that I walked into the gym, not really sure of what I was doing but decided to give it a shot. I had worked out before in a gym, granted it was in high school, but I could pull it off, right? Well… I got some weird looks. I was a scrawny, skinny girl, barely 20 years old, and couldn’t lift much to save my life. I looked around at my company and was clearly out of place. I didn’t know what I was doing and no one bothered to help me. Instead, I heard a couple snickers when I tried to use the leg press…

Coach Summit 2015- Nashville
It’s been a few weeks but my first experience at Coach Summit happened over the weekend of July 16th and I’m still on a Summit “high”! If you’re not familiar with what Summit is, it’s the annual training trip from Beachbody where this year 25,000 coaches out of 330,000 came together. There is recognition, celebration, training, and workouts with celebrity trainers. I got to fist bump Sagi (the Body Beast guy) after my workout. I kind of felt like a big deal. I showed up to my workout with Autumn Calabrese (creator of 21 Day Fix/Extreme and Fixate) wearing the same thing she was wearing. She should have called me…

21 Day Fix Extreme Results!!!
I just wrapped my second ever round of 21 Day Fix Extreme on Monday and wow! I loved this program when I used it for competition prep back in February because it gave me shredded results and I loved it again now for that very same reason. The pic on the left is 8 days after my last competition. That’s right. I was that girl who binge ate for a week after my show, was bloated, felt like crap, and what did I have to show for it except the pics on the left. So I knew I needed to step it into high gear for 3 solid weeks.…

8 Days Out Bikini Competition Update
Hi! As some of you may already know, I’m currently training for my second bikini competition this year. I did my first in April and went the road alone! It was an exhilirating experience and I promised myself I would do it again, next time with more muscle. Well, I decided on a show on June 27th and have spent the last 12 weeks eating, bulking, lifting, and getting ready for this next show. I couldn’t be more excited! I will say, putting on muscle in 12 weeks is not easy and I am hoping for the best. This is a NANBF (naturals) show and I am looking forward to…
