I cannot wait to help you get started!
You will need Agility Markers for the program, which you can find here.
If you would like more information on Shift Shop, here are a few places to find out more:
Because amongst the travels and parties and summer nights around the fire and kids home from school and laid back vibe that SUMMER brings – it can be far too easy to lose sight of YOU time – MOM time – BALANCE – and all the things you’ve worked for leading up to summer summer summer TIME because, well you’re just out of the norm.
And sometimes you just need to know how to SURVIVE so you can then THRIVE!
By request, I am excited to bring back my SUMMER SURVIVAL accountability group!
A place to lean in on for support and tips and ideas and motivation to allow you to, you know, have your cake and eat it too and maybe just maybe have the cocktail without the guilt!
We’ll focus on how to plan for vacation and top tips to maintain your fitness routine while out of routine
We’ll share some grilling favorites to keep the palate happy without missing the BBQ favorites
We’ll chat summer cocktail swaps so you can still enjoy the late nights with neighbors without downing a days worth of calories in a single sitting
And more importantly we’ll have fun, build relationships and set a solid foundation…not for a D.I.E.T. but for a lifestyle that is maintainable – beyond summer and as a way of LIVING!
A teacher?
A doctor?
A mom?
An accountant?
A lawyer?
A nurse?
An acrobat?
I’ll be honest I didn’t have that ONE thing but I knew that I wanted to be SUCCESSFUL and figured I’d rock a fancy suit on the top floor of some big fancy building in NYC with a corner office!
I had a strong work ethic from the days of weekend babysitting as a 12 year old through double jobs in college through landing my big girl career in public accounting.
But then the unthinkable happened:
I. BECAME. A. MOM.
And guess what?
That office on the top floor was not important anymore.
I wanted TIME at home with my daughter.
And after working away her first two years we made the family choice to become a single family home after the arrival of our little guy.
It was hard.
The adjustment to SAHM life was hard.
I missed my independence
And did I mention being a SAHM was hard?
But then the unthinkable happened again and A NEW DOOR opened.
This new door was going to give me the opportunity to live in the best of both worlds.
To have some independence back but to still be MOM.
This opportunity came at a time that I wasn’t looking and never realized HOW MUCH I needed it.
And while my office -covered in pictures from my little Miss with paint stains on my desk compliments of my kids-is a far cry from that top office in the big Apple….I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!
I chose the path others run from because it’s DIFFERENT.
I wa willing to put the work in no matter what iteration thought because I BELIEVED in the business.
And you know what—that same opportunity is there for you too!
I’m launching a very special NEW COACH training this month as I SEARCH FOR MY NEXT FAB 5!
I am taking on 5 EAGER-driven-willing to WORK HARD ladies to start in my July new coach training academy.
Who are the FAB 5?
They’re 5 fabulous ladies who want to be a part of my One. Fit. Fam.
5 ladies who are ready to commit to these next 3 months with me – and my TEAM and make this SUMMER COUNT!
5 ladies who are ready to join and embrace my new: ME – WE – YOU training program…
You see first you join me! You see how this challenge group stuff works (because helping others is the root of this business) and you follow along with a fitness program and Shakeology so you can not just talk the talk but walk the walk. This is crucial!
WE:
In month two we work together. We begin our walk through the business roadmap. I walk you through HOW you get started & through WHAT you need to do.
You’ll complete my New Coach Training program and together we LAUNCH your business! Its a team effort from the start!
YOU:
As we start our 3rd month together you’ll begin to lead, continue to grow, and take part in the next leadership opportunities offered through our team trainings. I’m still here…like I said – I’m always HERE but at this point you’ll have the confidence and ability to step out and go for it!
***This group is limited to 5 for a reason***
Because I believe that in order to succeed you need the mentorship.
I will not be taking on more than 5 ladies this months so that I can be confident I am giving my best me to those who invest with me!
If you’ve been waiting to do this – thinking about it – doubting your abilities and holding back. I simply ask you to STOP.
Go all in!
What do you have to lose? Its time to CREATE THE LIFE YOU ARE LIVING FOR!!!

I am forever grateful for this opportunity to participate in the exclusive pre-launch SHIFT SHOP Testgroup.
Before I became a COACH, I was a challenger. I needed to do something for ME and this was it. But I got out of that challenger mindset and this program brought me back to that feeling.
That feeling of pure excitement and accomplishments of completing a fitness challenge, being diligent with my nutrition and achieving the goals I set forth for myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It came at a time that I needed this opportunity and I am more excited than ever to help other women MAKE THE SHIFT.
Day 1. Day 21. Day 42.
You can preorder TODAY and be ready to rock with us July 13th in my exclusive SHIFT SHOP LAUNCH PARTY!!!
This program is LEGIT and is going to transform so many lives!!!!
As we launch into this final week of our 6 week test group journey a few thoughts come to mind:
I have realized I am stronger than I thought.
Accountability is one of the most underused POWERFUL tools in one’s fitness journey and when you LEAN in on it – it WORKS!
Working out beyond 30 minutes is FUN and the results are worth the extra effort
When you take a step back to MENTALLY get focused you can bust through any barriers you previously thought existed
This program is comprised of alternating HIIT/Cardio workouts and Strength training workouts.
Week 1 begins at 25 minutes
Week 2 is 35 minutes
Week 3 is 45 minutes
When you begin ROUND 2 you go back to week 2
Followed by week 3
And week 4 – which tops them all with 50 minute workouts.
In the beginning I thought a big old HECK – TO – THE – NO!
But you know what?! I’ve realized that when you are really in the zone 50 minutes doesn’t seem so challenging any more!
I have been able to adapt to being on the road, traveling, vacations, baseball games, parties and more but its not because I am committed to a DIET – its because I committed to making this a LIFESTYLE change and its paying off 10-FOLD!
I have LOVED this fitness journey but I am more excited to be able to BRING YOU along WITH ME! And the date is fast approaching!
I am taking applicants for my SHIFT SHOP LAUNCH party to begin upon the program’s release on 7/13/17.
If you are ready to commit – work for it – and join forces with me and other women who are RIGHT THERE with you – then fill out the form below.
Hearing the amazing news that I was SELECTED as one of the participants in the SHIFT SHOP TESTGROUP was like a dream come true.
Then I looked at the calendar – Round 1 started with the week of my son’s birthday & Round 2 started with a week long vacation with our friends and family.
I immediately thought of the hurdles but quickly turned it around and imagined:
How good would it feel to not only get AMAZING results leading up to our beach vacation but to actually come home from that trip with those SAME RESULTS!?!?
I don’t know about you but even with a very healthy balanced lifestyle, I will admittedly work *extra* hard leading up to an event and let the food and emotions run wild once the big day/trip comes.
It seems silly – I mean why work so hard to undo it?
How great would it be if you didn’t come home from vacation with guilt and another long(er) road ahead of you?!?!?!
And so…that’s just what I did!
I wrapped up Round 1 of the Shift Shop testgroup nearly 5 pounds lighter and with increased confidence which propelled me into a 2 day travel trip and week long trip at the beach with habits in tact and goals that couldn’t be squashed!
Was I perfect?
Nope! Not at all.
But I stuck to my guns and never felt like I was missing out or “couldn’t” eat what everyone else was eating. I simply ate what my body craved and if I wanted to taste a bite of ice cream or sample the mac and cheese I did – but you know what…I never felt the need for more than a taste!
So how can YOU go on your next vacation or weekend getaway without reversing the work you put in beforehand:
PACK SNACKS for the car. And no I’m not meaning bars and pretzels! My road trip snacks included:
Cut up apple for easy drive/snacking
Red peppers
Over hard eggs
Roasted veggies
Shakeology and coconut water filled shaker cup
Strawberries
Fruity gum
Allow your friends to know you’re working on becoming a healthier version of YOUand if they’re truly your friends they will support YOU
2 words: SPARKLING WATER
There were adult beverages going down but you know what – I never had ONE! And I didn’t feel I had to! I sipped a sparkling water of choice and still had a blast at game night, watched the PENS playoff hockey game and lounged by the pool without feeling like I was missing out on the fun! Because I didn’t want it. I didn’t want the extra calories and when you don’t WANT it you don’t feel like you’re MISSING a thing!
Plan to workout daily
PICK A TIME: While I was initially thinking I would get up at 6 and work it – I didn’t! I talked to my hubs who was cool with us enjoying the morning for as long as it would last until the littles woke up – so we did!!! Some mornings I got them breakfast before I pressed play some mornings he took the reigns. They were up by 7 each day – but I enjoyed the no alarm. But each morning I had some company with me and you know what – I LOVED it!!!
THE POINT: Just make sure you DO IT. Pack weights or a resistance band if you need it or go with a no equipment workout like CORE DE FORCE or PIYO and keep moving!
Grocery shop
Obviously your storage situations will vary but with our beach trip we were in a house! The kiddos and I stopped at the farmers market on the way down and then hit up the grocery store once we got there. On pizza night I ordered a salad. On Taco Tuesday I whipped up a Taco Salad and splurged on a few chips – key word: FEW. When we did the steamer buckets I fried some eggs and enjoyed leftover veggies!!!
Drink your Shakeology daily
Not only does it help with cravings but its an easy meal to pack and make and can be enjoyed any time of the day! It was breakfast a few times, lunch a few times and even a late night snack one night! This is one meal/snack that feels like a splurge BUT ISN’T so enjoy it when you can!
For the first time EVER I came home from a week long vacation without the guilt.
I sat down Sunday made my meal plan for the meal plans for the hubs and I
Shift Shop – Round 2 – Week 2 – PLAN A
Hubby’s Meal Plan Shift Shop – Round 1 – Week 1 – PLAN D
And got to work Monday morning!
I didn’t need to detox or do a cleanse or hit the restart button. I just KEPT GOING. And that my friends is what I want to help YOU learn!
I am now taking applicants for my SUMMER JUMPSTART accountability group and spots are filling fast!!!
If you’re ready to DITCH all excuses, put the work in, and reap the rewards – fill out the application below!
I am so EXCITED to announce that Shaun T is coming back and YOU have the opportunity to be among the FIRST to try these BRAND NEW workouts as they launch on Beachbody On Demand on June 12th 2017.
Shaun week is 1 week of fitness but it goes beyond the sweat and the scale.
This program is about changing your life and transforming your mind and body.
It is about getting motivated to get connected to your fitness, to your mental journey and to continuing on with your progress and reaching your health and fitness goals and I am excited to offer a support group as we all dive into this program TOGETHER.
What is Shaun Week?
• Shaun Week is a 7-day intensive full body boot camp developed by Shaun T to motivate you to focus like you’ve never focused before. And dig deeper than you ever thought possible.
• 7 workouts that are Insanity and Focus T25-inspired, incorporating cardio, intense strength conditioning, abs/core, and lots and lots of sweat.
How long are the workouts?
• 25-40 minutes
Who’s it for?
• These workouts are great for all fitness levels and each one includes a modifier to follow.
What to expect?
• I have created a closed FACEBOOK GROUP for all my customers to join so we can start and COMPLETE Shaun T week – TOGETHER. Not only will this group provide a source of accountability for you but it will be a resource for meal planning tips/ideas and truly share the power of surrounding yourself with like minded individuals! Plus there will be some fun prizes for those who complete & participate in the program!!!
*I have made this with both one full scoop of shakeology and omitting the yogurt and I’ve done half a scoop of Shakeology with 1/2 a red of Greek Yogurt – the choice is yours! But either combo would leave this one RED serving per the Portion Fix Nutrition, 1-2 spoons for the nut butter, Blue container if you use nuts and/or orange if you use coconut flakes!
Today I am 21 days stronger – mentally & physically – and I found a FOCUS within me that I didn’t know was possible.
Being a part of the first Shift Shop test group was such a privilege but I’ll be honest, being surrounded by some pretty amazing people with some jaw dropping, awe-inspiring 21 day transformations left me feeling a little bit like “just another before and after” comparison in the mix.
My results were nothing stellar – 4.7 pounds and 4.25 inches – but as the self-doubt crept in I realized that it was perhaps my GAINS were where I needed to put my focus. Afterall – this was ONLY 21 days.
Be a Pineapple Stand Tall Wear a crown Be sweet on the inside
I am a mom – not a fitness expert.
My goal to be healthy, strong and a positive role model for my kids.
And you know what – I am healthier, stronger and my kids seem to like the mommy who isn’t asking for an afternoon movie rest time these days…SO I CONSIDER IT A WIN.
I found a way to celebrate, to rid stress, and to ENJOY company – without needing a crutch…a crutch of food. That so often comes with all those situations.
I wasn’t perfect throughout these 21 days but my goodness I tried REALLY hard to stick to the meal plan
I enjoyed my son’s birthday cake. But just a slice – at the party – and not the ENTIRE week that followed. And for me – that was a win.
And I only had ONE cookie during all of his birthday celebrations. That one cookie was delicious but stopping at 1 is pretty much unheard of for me!
I tasted the (leftover birthday) cookie a few weeks later that my daughter said didn’t taste right. With a bite. Then a second to be sure – which for the record it was just fine – but then I tossed it. That was a win.
I got diligent with my meal prep and planning and wasted (next to) NOTHING during these 21 days and only dined out 2x. Saving money – more time at home – THAT is a win for me.
But perhaps my greatest GAIN was the strength to STOP FINISHING the leftovers on the kids plates. I mean WHYYYYY does that lingering bite of mac & cheese feel the need to jump in my mouth?!?! You know what…IT DOESN’T! It doesn’t need to and if I can stop the impulse snacks for 21 days those actions clearly don’t need to be part of the norm.
And while the number “losses” weren’t HUGE I found success in my other Non Scale Victories (NSVs):
My wedding rings are more loose/comfortable – which I attribute to elimination of common inflammatory foods (i.e. that darn GLUTEN!)
Overall my CLOTHES fit better – not a drop in “size” but the muffin top and chubby pinchers that hung over my shorts and jeans is gone
I am more AWARE of the foods I choose to fuel my body and how different foods impact me differently
I pushed myself PHYSICALLY harder than any other program. Some of the workouts were LONG – LONGER than my typical 30 but I found a way to push past the mental block and continue beyond my normal to achieve my results.
Above all else I am simply MORE confident in my skin and you cannot put a number or a price on that!!!
My challengers would often praise my WILLpower I was demonstrating at the different events and travels we enjoyed these past three weeks but I realized it was the WHYpower that pulled me through.
Because nothing tastes as good – as being fit & healthy feels.
Don’t all late night snacks include leftover grilled chicken?!!?!
And I will continually strive to find the balance and changes that make me – ME!
The first 21 days have built the habits, these next 21 will challenge me & THE LAST 21 will EMPOWER CHANGES!!!
21 days of focused nutrition and consistent workouts
21 days of BELIEVING that YES I CAN and YES I WILL
21 days of knowing that what I am doing today will ripple into all areas of my life in the future
But again, this isn’t a 21 day “thing”. This is a LIFESTYLE for me.
I’m continuing on and I am looking for those who want to walk beside me in this journey of LIFE.
Whether you’re looking for to prep NOW for the public release in July – OR – whether you’re just ready to GET STARTED yourself I can help! I am launching two new challenges this month and am taking applicants for EARLY ENROLLMENT!
Perfection not necessary. WHYpower required.
Fill out the form below and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
That little something something to satisfy a sweet tooth craving?
Or maybe you’re favorite past time is licking the cookie dough bowl (even when mom says no) and sneaking in that last little bite of dough???
I am one who honestly prefers the chocolate chip cookie DOUGH over the cookie and also one who is now avoiding gluten (because I bloat like a mad woman) and dairy (because my skin breaks out like a teenage girl) and I am ELATED to find a healthier sweet alternative that fits my dietary preferences and well, tastes AMAZING.
MEET:
Cookie Dough Energy Balls
Total Time: 15 min. PrepTime: 15 min. Cooking Time: None Yield: 13 servings, 1 ball each
WHAT YOU NEED:
½ cup all-natural almond butter
¼ cup raw honey
½ cup finely chopped raw almonds (I used slivers and they worked great!)
2½ scoops Vegan Vanilla Shakeology(you could use the regular but the taste of the vegan is wayyyyyy better!)
2 Tbsp. mini semi-sweet (or dark chocolate) chocolate chips (I use the ENJOY LIFE brand – found at Target #yourewelcomemoms)
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. More specifically: I found it easiest to mix the dry almonds and Shakeology, then I added the almond butter, mixed well, then added the honey, mixed well again, and stirred in the chocolate chips.
2. Roll into thirteen balls, about 1-inch in diameter each. (I used the pampered chef small scoop and it actually got 20 balls – so I adjusted the serving size to be 1.5 balls to match the nutritional breakdown below)
If you’re interested in this recipe and don’t yet have Shakeology and/or haven’t yet tried the NEW Vegan Vanilla and you’re interested in giving it a try and don’t already work with a coach – you can fill out the form below and I will get back to you within 24 hours!!!
