    It’s Not Just Anxiety, It’s Also Grief

    I read an article yesterday that said “the discomfort you’re feeling is grief…” And as if a huge weight has been lifted off of my stressed out, anxious, feeling depressed and exhausted heart… That’s exactly what it is. My phone dinged bright and early Wednesday morning with a reminder that we should be boarding our flight to Punta Cana. I felt that feeling rising up again. Discomfort.Sadness.Anxiety. Grief. The article went on to state we’re the first generation who has feelings about our feelings. We mask our grief to protect others. Not to look guilty or selfish. And we brush it off. When in all reality, we should be allowed…

    Holiday Survival Group + 12 Days of Giveaways: November 27th – January 1st

    ‘Tis the season… To make attempts to stay on track… but in reality… wine, turkey, appetizers, boozy festive drinks, parties, and too many cookies ALWAYS interfere with those plans.As much as I’d always used to tell myself that it’s going to be different this year, old habits die hard and I’d end up feeling pretty sluggish come January 1st.Wouldn’t it be nice to just get through the holidays without the added bloat, weight gain, and diving into the Christmas cookies at every opportunity? And maybe snag some cool holiday swag in the process?My official Holiday Survival Group + 12 Days of Giveaways kicks off with a week of PREP on Monday…

      Well. 2017 started out strong. Nutrition was on point. Workout routine was stellar. Then life happened. Real world crept back in and even though I started strong, I’ve been pretty weak as of lately. Easily tempted.

    Destin Leadership Retreat 2016 Recap

    Words can’t begin to describe the awesomeness that was my recent 4 day trip to Destin for our Beachbody Leadership Retreat.  As a busy momma to 3 young girls, a recent nursing school graduate, and a wife to a busy, traveling husband, it was clear that I needed a vacation away and this was more than what I needed, just for my body, mind, and soul.  There’s something about being around a group of people with similar goals, positive attitudes, and a desire to commit to inspiring others to meet their needs. I recently celebrated my 2 year anniversary of becoming a Beachbody coach and honestly when I started I…

    The Truth About Sugar… Why It’s Making Our Society Fatter

    Let’s talk about sugar and it’s VICIOUS cycle. Cravings. Not getting full. Our bodies need carbohydrates for energy. Sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrates meaning our body uses them instantly and we remain hungry. Artificial sweeteners/high fructose corn syrups, candy, soda, can trick our body and release a chemical (dopamine) aka the “feel good” chemical that gives us a high and we CRAVE it more. Eat a candy bar. Chances are it’ll “satisfy” that craving and 20 minutes later you’re craving something else. Don’t get me started on food addictions. That’s another blog post to come.    When our bodies encounter artificial ingredients they don’t know how to store…

    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…

    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…
