Dream Big then Dream Bigger

January 11, 2016January 11, 20161 Comment

What. a. weekend.

This is my second time experiencing the big January Beachbody/Team celebration and it just keeps getting better and better! Perhaps because this year I met the biggest goal I had set for myself and that was to end the year as a 2015 ELITE coach and join these top ladies in leading an amazing business!!!

It truly is hard to put into words the amount of fun, excitement and emotions that I have experienced these last 48 hours!

I have had the honor of serving as a member of the Pittsburgh market council for the last year and this event is one of the BIGGEST we put together! Its a time to recognize the accomplishments of the year and when you house the top coach, Melanie Mitro, as well as a 2X top 10 coach and an impressive group of Elite and Premier coaches – you go above and beyond to put on an incredible event with the ELITE treatment!

Friday night kicked off our Beachbody Barista Blackout – complete with over a dozen of my team members in attendance, soaking in every little tid bit of information, news and updates from corporate. Some of the highlights of the night included:

1 – The location for the 2017 Success Club trip – Punta Cana!

This is a trip that you can earn as a coach through helping others throughout the year! This upcoming March my husband and I will set sail with 4000 other coaches and their spouses/families to Haiti and Jamaica – while last spring we enjoyed 4 days at an all inclusive resort in Cancun! Its basically Beachbody’s way of saying “thank you” for all you do to help others life a healthier and more fulfilling life!

2. Sample the newest Shakeology Flavor – Cafe Latte – which is NOW AVAILABLE!!!

Cafe Latte is the 7th flavor of Shakeology and a coffee lovers dream yet light enough for non coffee lovers like myself to enjoy the robust and smooth flavor!

There are three purchase options available:

1) 30 scoop bag

2) 24 packet box

3) 24 packet Barista Combo flavor box – with chocolate and vanilla – 8 packets each

And all 3 of those options can be combined in a CHALLENGE PACK – with the 21-day fix, 21-day fix extreme and 3-day refresh all on promotion this month!

We decided to go all out with the theme and we showered our guests with aprons and coffee mugs to enjoy as they left the burgh!

Not only did we have our CEO Carl Daikeler but we also had celebrity trainer and creator of the 21-day fix, fix extreme, and Hammer & Chisel – Autumn Calabrese in the house! And let’s just say THEY BROUGHT IT!

3. A live workout MASH UP led by Master Trainer – Kam Niskach and 40 of her personally trained trainers!!!

4. We also had the privilege to share in success stories from fellow coaches and challengers as to just how Beachbody has transformed their lives and to recongize all those in attendance for the amazing accomplishments of 2015.

Like I said – there were some EMOTIONS!!!

Saturday kicked off a Dream Team training session where I was one of 15 Leaders in the organization who got to share some nuggets from my Coaching journey!

True story – I was nervous beyond all possibilities.

I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest and all I could do was PRAY! I knew that I had the words in my head and I just needed to lead with my heart.

I don’t take lightly where I am and how I have got here.

Have I worked hard?
Absolutely!

But my goodness every sacrificed hour of sleep has been beyond worth the joy I have experienced and all the feedback I heard after the presentation was beyond enough to make me feel grateful that I allowed myself to be a little uncomfortable and step outside that zone and BE ME!

All of the speakers were AMAZING – taught me so much – and left me overwhelmingly humbled to be amongst such strong LEADERS!!!!

These types of events MATTER for so many reasons!

We spend a lot of time working behind a computer screen so having the opportunity o network and get to know these ladies that I spend so much time “talking to” is such an incredible experience!

My upline sponsor coach and mentor’s team – Forever Fit

After the training was a wrap I felt like I could finally pull my insides all back together from the nerves and we got together for a little Diamond lunch!

Some of the coaches on my team that travel near and far to make it this event!

After lunch my team got together and we did a little primping!

Hair, make up, snacks and champagne to get to know each other a little better and just HAVE FUN!!!!

This was arguably my favorite part of the weekend!!! To just HANG OUT with these ladies who have become such a HUGE part of my life was so fulfilling!

We ended the night at the Lexus Club at Consol Energy Center for a big Dream Team celebration.

What I love more than anything is the FAMILY that has been established. Never in a million years would I have though I’d have so many amazing girlfriends to enjoy this journey of life with buy my goodness these ladies are all incredible and play a huge role in my life – most of which I would have never even met without this little blessing of Beachbody!

And well, I can’t possibly sum this all up without the mention of this guy – my ROCK!

He helped me load prepare and pack and get ready for all the weekends festivities – he took as many pictures as we needed him to and he smiled the entire time. Not because he has to but because he wants to!!!
My business success is every bit his as it is mine and I wouldn’t want to be on this ride with anyone else!

Our weekend was nothing short of AMAZING as well the neck clenching hugs we got from our little ones when we arrived home!

I know a work from home business and a stay at home mom life isn’t right for everyone but it is safe to say we have have found our HAPPY PLACE! The balance we have found in our lives has left us with more opportunities than we could have dreamt possible!

Surround yourself with those that lift you HIGHER

Ahhh I can’t believe this weekend is finally here!

There’s been a lot of prep going on the background for months but our Beachbody Super Friday weekend has arrived and I have butterflies just thinking about all to come!

We have a jam packed agenda Friday night and a heck of a lot of recognition to endure as we have the Top Coach in all of Beachbody along with a 2x Top 10 coach, our CEO – Carl Daikeler and Celebrity Trainer Autumn Calabrease. And to cap the night we’ll be enjoying a live mashup by none other than Master Trainer Kam Niskach.

Its been such an honor being part of the Pittsburgh Market Council and being involved with all the planning and coordinating behind such a huge event!

We are sold out, leading the event in one of the most amazing places in Downtown Pittsburgh and I know we will not disappoint!

And while this excitement is swirling around in my head I am flashing back to last year’s event – one where I arrived as a star diamond coach with my hubby and just one coach on my team, my bestie.

Fast forward this year – I have coaches coming in from all across PA, OH, NC and even Canada! Wow – That little compound effect is amazing.

From a 1 star Diamond team a year ago to a 5 star diamond ELITE team today!

It truly does just start with ONE and I know these ladies are all going to leave this event with a fire burning inside of them to get out there and rock this business!!! Its such a powerful thing!

Just thinking of how much has spiraled and transpired over the last year leaves with me this burning desire to get out there and share this opportunity with everyone I cross paths with! Its given me such a new outlook on life. How you can live out the most amazing life in balance, health and fulfillment!

And well, that’s only Friday night…

I have also been asked to present at a Dream Team led training Saturday morning along with a few of the BEST of the BEST coaches in the entire network.

Talk about surrounding yourself with those that lift you higher!

Some of these ladies presented last year and I remember sitting there listening and absorbing thinking WOW – I can only imagine what that feels like to be up on that stage sharing their best practices and low behold there will be no imaging this year!

I’ll be living it and I’ll have my TEAM, my mom and my husband all there to support me.

If that doesn’t fill my cup I don’t know what does!

Then I get to spoil my coaches with some hair and make up pampering before we set off to enjoy a night of dancing and fun at the Lexus Club in Consol Energy.

Can someone pinch me now? Is this really my J-O-B?!

Sometimes I can’t believe it myself – but its true and YOU too can experience all the fun, excitement and fulfillment! Yes I work hard, I work a non-conventional job, and I make sacrifices but the benefits of those sacrifices far outweigh the rest!

So are you ready to join my team? Let’s make 2016 EPIC!

We survived the HOLIDAYS – 30 day Hammer & Chisel results!

January 3, 2016January 5, 2016Leave a comment

My husband and I are 4.5 weeks into Hammer and Chisel and all I can say is WE DID IT!!!!

With the new release of the workout program The Masters: Hammer & Chisel on December 1st I was beyond tempted to “start in the new year”…however my very excited hubby said he was ready for a change and ready to go and since I am all too familiar with the power of an accountability partner, I couldn’t let him go at it alone!!!

A very simple clean, crockpot roast

So we decided we would start, do the best we could but still enjoy the holidays…aka EAT THE COOKIES, enjoy the parties and control the controllable!
And through 5 birthday parties, countless holiday get togethers, NYE and all that in between I am happy to say WE MADE IT!

Am I where I want to be?!

Well, no, not exactly.

But am happy with the progress?

Absolutely!

Even though I gained 2 pounds I lost 2 inches – which goes to show you this program can help you gain LEAN muscle!

I have been using the Beachbody Performance Line – ENERGIZE (pre workout) and RECOVER (post workout) daily which have been KEY in helping me get the most of out each workout and reduce muscle soreness. In addition I haven’t missed a day of my SHAKEOLOGY! Nutrition is key and while the holiday indulgences were there Shakeology played a huge role in making sure they didn’t get out of control, especially during the baking days!!! For less than $4/meal you can’t beat that dense superfood nutrition!!!

The workouts are challenging and I KNOW the incredible results are coming but in all honesty – my nutrition wasn’t where it needs to be to get jaw-dropping results – but to make progress at a time when most Americans are gaining 7-10 pounds – I’LL TAKE IT!!!

I am getting stronger. My weights have increased and the 12 pounders that were collecting dust are now being tossed around with ease. One simple non-scale victory that helps reassure me – THIS PROGRAM IS WORKING!!!

And while the holidays are over our busy lives are here to stay. As I look forward to the second half of this program I see our upcoming Beachbody weekend in the ‘Burgh – an entire weekend away from home and then two weeks later I’ll be off to LA for a Leadership conference.

Life is busy. But you can always CONTROL the CONTROLLABLE.

*Plan ahead*

*Pack snacks*

*Prioritize your workouts and your health*

*Toss the excuses*

*Start each day with a fresh mind and clean slate*

**You can achieve great things. Believe YOU CAN and you WILL**

If you’d like some support and accountability to begin and/or continue your own fitness journey then fill out the application below! My challenge group is now forming and I know FIRST HAND how powerful it is to surround yourself with other like-minded people!

There’s POWER in numbers but you only have control over ONE.

Week 4 of H&C and the final week of 2015

December 30, 2015Leave a comment

Week 4 of Hammer & Chisel was most def. the hardest one yet. Not the workouts – those were solid

Hammer and chisel week 4 with kyle

…it was the nutrition – the struggle in the KITCHEN!

Hammer and chisel week 4 I did it all for the cookie

Now – don’t get me wrong I made some great choices, I stayed true to my workouts and we held off on the Christmas cookie baking until the last minute but the portions weren’t spot on and well, we had some fun. But nonetheless I am back to my FOCUS with a little help from my friend…FOCUS ENERGY!!!

Hammer and Chisel week 4 focused energy

Yes – this little boost became a huge savior to help me get back to my A-Game!

I also have to brag a bit about this little Teavana tea thermos/brew cup I got as a gift from my in laws…you actually BREW the tea in the cup and then take out the little holder of the tea leaves and BOOM – you’re ready to go!

Hammer and chisel week 4 egg bake and tea

Bonus – I actually brewed a cup, hit the road for a short road trip and 8-HOURS-LATER it was the exact same temperature as it was when I first hopped in the car. I was AMAZED so say the least…so if you’re a tea drinker – you may want to check this out!!!

And of course post Christmas week brings along the final week of the year and New Years fun!

We have some small plans and get togethers so we meal planned and prepped like crazy to make sure we could have a strong week leading into the holiday.

Here’s my game plan:

And my hubby’s:

Kyle Meal plan week of 12_28

We’re still keeping things pretty consistent although my hubs started making this Shakeology Pudding every night – and WOWZA -its to die for.

Simply combine 1 scoop of chocolate shakeo, 1 red of green yogurt, 2 tsp of all natural PB and a splash of almond milk until you get the consistency you are looking for!!!

We are set for the New Year and committed to ending the year STRONGER than we started!!!

Bring on week 5!

You can’t let other people tell you who you are. You have to decide that for yourself! Your actions – your words – YOU – decide where you will end up in life.

Trust me – I was skeptical too. But as I watched other coaches in the network succeed in what seemed to be MY dream job I developed the attitude “why not me”.

I wanted to be a SAHM & I wanted to be fit and active to keep up with our growing kiddos & I wanted to be financially FREE – so WHY NOT take a leap and check out this work from home business opportunity?!?!

And my oh my did it forever change my life…for the good!

I decided to become the girl who decided to JUST GO FOR IT!!!

I decided that I was going to create a life I LOVED.

I get to wake up every day and HELP other people become better versions of themselves while continuously working on myself too…all from the comfort of my HOME.

Have you ever considered becoming a coach???
Are you an “on-the-fencer”???

Happy Holidays

December 23, 2015December 23, 2015Leave a comment

Christmas is only a few days away and all that you’ve worked for, saved for, prepared for and anticipated is about to arrive.

Enjoy it – each and every second of it – for if you blink it will be over!

So take this time and BE present with those you’re spending your Christmas with.

Its so easy to get caught up in all the excitement and forget what Christmas is all about.

Unplug.

Put your phone away.

Enjoy the excitement on your children’s faces.

And CELEBRATE all of God’s gifts that are in your hands!

For the craziness will be over soon and the normalcy will set back in!

I wanted to thank each and every one of you who has supported me and followed by journey! Whether you’re a coach on our team, a participant in my challenge group or a new friend I met along the way – I value YOU and our relationship!

I still feel a bit of a shock when I think of how my life has changed since Beachbody entered our world. An opportunity that seemed so small to me at the time has since provided my family with opportunities we could have only dreamed of!!!

A business that allows me to work on my time – to be home with my children while helping other moms build their business to be home with their children too! I have helped families put food on the table, helped others pay down their debt and as much as its given me this avenue to help transform people from the outside – I’ve been able to watch them transform on the inside too!

To be stronger, healthier and more confident versions of themselves!

Knowing that my support and guidance has the power to CHANGE LIVES propels me each and every day and I just have to THANK YOU for allowing me to be a part of your life!

2015 has been an amazing year. Our team has grown – the number of lives we have impacted has increased exponentially and I cannot wait to see what we can do in 2016!

Thank you all so much for having a part in our crazy little world!

We are so very blessed!

From my family to yours – Happy Holidays!

Holiday Survival Tips

December 20, 2015December 20, 2015Leave a comment

If you’ve been following my Hammer & Chisel journey you may have noticed that week 3 kicked off with SEVERAL planned meals out – I mean its the holidays – tis the season right?!?!

Of course – but that doesn’t mean you can’t make some progress along the way too!!!

We have had some holiday celebrations, my dad’s birthday dinner and just some time out with friends and family! But here’s the deal – I do believe you can have your cake and eat it too!

Each day I’ve been “picking my splurge” whether its the meal or dessert I pick one and do my best on the other options. I have found making that healthier choice doesn’t leave me feeling deprived but rather proud that I am doing something to better myself!

We even had a day date christmas shopping trip in the mix and at the suggestion of my hubs we packed all our meals – yup – snack 1, lunch and snack 2. Mancake bake, grilled asparagus and salmon burgers, some fruit, shakeo and plenty to drink! Hydration is key!!!

And in between running from place to place we would sneak in those meals, fuel up and get on our way! I tend to get HANGRY while shopping and often don’t want to take the time out to eat when I’m on a mission and this made it work out for everyone involved!!!

My sis came to visit which gave me that much more of a REASON – not an EXCUSE to stay on track – we simply made it something we would do TOGETHER! Family fitness is just one of the many things that fills my cup — I think she’s hooked for sure!

The holiday season is tough – don’t get me wrong. And the temptations are everywhere but not impossible to survive by any means!!!

Here are my top HOLIDAY tips!

Week 2 of Hammer & Chisel

December 14, 2015December 14, 20152 Comments

It has arrived!!!

Ok wait – so I JUST got the package YET – I’m in week 2?! Heck yes!

I’ve actually been doing the H&C workouts through the on demand feature of the Team Beachbody Premium Club membership. Basically its like netflix for the fitness world and while I had everything I needed to do the program – there’s just something to be said about flipping the pages of the nutrition guide and hanging that 60 day calendar on the basement walls!!!
Hammer and Chisel week 2 whats in the package
So what came in the box?!?!

I opted for the The Masters Hammer and Chisel Deluxe DVD Package:

12 workouts on 6 DVDs: HAMMER PLYOMETRICS, ISO SPEED HAMME, TOTAL BODY HAMMER,MAX HAMMER STRENGTH, HAMMER POWER, HAMMER CONDITIONING, CHISEL BALANCE, ISO STRENGTH CHISEL, CHISEL ENDURANCE, CHISEL CARDIO, CHISEL AGILITY, TOTAL BODY CHISEL
A SET OF 7 PORTION-CONTROL CONTAINERS & SHAKER CUP
PROGRAM AND NUTRITION GUIDE
QUICK-START GUIDE
60-DAY WORKOUT CALENDAR
PLUS, 3 FREE BONUS GIFTS: 10 MIN AB HAMMER WORKOUT, 10 MIN AB CHISEL WORKOUT, 24/7 ONLINE SUPPORT
4 ADVANCED TOTAL-BODY WORKOUTS: HAMMER BUILD UP, POWER CHISEL, 15 MIN LEG HAMMER, 15 MIN GLUTE CHISEL
AN EXTRA SET OF 7 PORTION-CONTROL CONTAINERS*
8-LB. MEDICINE BALL

We did already have containers and shaker cups and a medicine ball but since my husband and I are doing this TOGETHER – we wanted to make sure we had enough of EVERYTHING!

You’ll see from my meal plan above – I am adding in: Energize (pre workout), Energize (post workout) and Recharge (overnight) from the Team Beachbody Performance Line. This is an intense program and I am looking to get max results and I know these will help me get there! I am not nearly as sore this week as I was in week 1 and far less than I anticipated – I know these vitamin packed supplements are helping on that road to recovery!!!

My hubs is also adding in the Hydrate during his workouts and creatine!

Note the difference in the meal plans – He falls into the second highest and I fall into the lowest – so how do we make it work? Plan it out!

These are literally printed and hanging in the pantry – we tag team the shopping, the chopping and the cooking. Don’t get me wrong…it takes TIME but its worth it.

Hammer & Chisel meal plan week of 12_14 KYLE EDITED

We both agree this program is hard but its fun and in the running to become our favorite one yet!

And while it is challenging and there are days we don’t want to wake up in the morning but we DO IT ANYWAY. We do it for ourselves – our health – and our family!

My mom even joined in for a 5:00am workout while visiting last week!

Age really is just a number!!

Resolutions into Results

December 13, 2015December 12, 20152 Comments

Is it the super great deal at the local gym?

Or maybe the 7-10 pounds you tacked on between Thanksgiving & Christmas?!

Or…. perhaps the classic “this is my year” attitude??

I’m sure there’s a million and one things that play into the reasons but the results have proven in a recent study that the TOP 3 new years resolution in America are to:

*EXERCISE MORE*

*LOSE WEIGHT*

*Improve DIET*

Forget saving for the future or spending more time with family – most people kick off a new year with a goal to somehow some way improve their overall well being!

Yet, LESS than 10% of those people are actually successful in achieving their resolutions!

Why?

They don’t have the tools!

They’re afraid of change – they fear failure – they don’t know HOW to get started AND continue!

But here’s the deal…if you make a few temporary changes the results will simply be that – temporary. You won’t truly acheive what you’re setting out to do unless you make a CHANGE!

A change in the way you think – act- believe and yes – a change in your LIFESTYLE!

So – what’s the deal?

For starters – its much easier said than done!

Making a lifestyle change – a HEALTHY lifestyle change isn’t always easy.

Some people will doubt you, some may not support you, some may even say negative things and you may fear your ability to stick to it long term or when not at home. You’re afraid you don’t have the time or the money – But these are all just excuses – if you have a plan – you can overcome every single one of them – and then some!

AND I CAN HELP YOU!

Committing to a healthy eating and a consistent exercise routine may be HARD. But so is living in a body that you’re unhappy with.

CHOOSE YOUR HARD.

Then take action.

I’ve started and stopped my fair share of “changes” but nearly 2 years ago I made one change that forever changed my life.

I joined a challenge group.

An online accountability group filled with other women who had similar struggles as I did – similar fears – and similar goals – TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE!

I picked up a 21 day fix challenge group, followed the advice of my COACH, and joined a group!

I pushed play – in my home – for 30 minutes a day. I checking to the group for accountability, I took the advice shared, I utilized the meal plans and recipes that were suggested and low and behold – I GOT RESULTS!
