I was not a nutritionist and I am still learning something new every day.
I was not at my goal weight and somedays I am at it and others not so much…its a journey.
I only posted on social media to share periodic pictures of my kiddos and NEVER liked or commented on anyone else’s pictures…#didntwanttobeacreeper
I thought people who took selfies were self absorbed & CR-A-ZY!
I never wanted to be called a “sales person”
I didn’t have Instagram or a Blog and had no desire to learn them.
And the list goes on……
Sound familiar? I get it!! Those same concerns you have about coaching…I had them too.
But you know what I realized? I knew I had POTENTIAL.
Potential to build a business while at home with my littles…
Potential to help other women lose their baby weight just like ME…
Potential to help women simply FEEL confident again…
Potential to provide for my family…
Potential to relate and create a TRIBE of other women who just GOT IT.
So you know what?
I pushed those fears aside and went for it.
I won’t say its always easy but my goodness its worth it!
I want to help you see EXACTLY what I do as a coach – how our team Differs from others and help you decide if this is something that YOU could see yourself doing.
I’m hosting an Backstage Pass into the COACHLIFE Wednesday February 22nd and this my friend is YOUR personal invitation to join us.
No obligation – just information.
To answer your questions and help you decide if you want to join us!
Simply CLICK – GOING – to this event and I will get you added into our closed group!
See you there!
This is your opportunity to go from GOOD – to GREAT.
For more information fill out the form below and join the EVENT to learn more!
I wish I could tell you I was CRUSHING it – but truth me told – LIFE.HAS.HAPPENED.
And I am sure you’ve had your own share of LIFE’S events – but here’s the deal:
You have a choice: let it knock you down and stay there…
OR
Let it knock you down and then PICK YOURSELF UP!
If you are choosing the later – then I invite YOU to JOIN ME!!
Our accountability group will start February 20th and run 4 weeks.
We will hold one another accountable!
I will teach you what I have LEARNED works for me and my challengers in terms of nutrition, fitness programs and top TIPS to stay engaged and MOTIVATED to create HEALTHY HABITS that are LONG LASTING!!!
If you’re ready to rock this challenge WITH me – please do the following:
I am coming up on my 3 year anniversary of participating and then hosting online Fitness challenges and I can tell you first hand it has spoken VOLUMES in my personal Health & Wellness journey. I honestly don’t know where I would be if I had stopped after that first round of the 21-day fix back in 2014…or heck even after a year. ACCOUNTABILITY IS KEY!
I was able to get to the point where I could carve out that 30 minute and time for myself – but controlling what was on my plate – going in my body -the other 23.5 hours of the day is where I realized THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
But here’s the deal: when you surround yourself with others with similar goals – and struggles and strengths and weaknesses you learn to FALL DOWN – AND – GET BACK UP…TOGETHER!
And this is what I want to show people through this group!!!
The same key aspects that I teach in my full accountability groups will be introduced in this group as well!
FITNESS + SUPPORT + NUTRITION = RESULTS!!!
FITNESS:
Each participant will enroll in a trial membership of the Beachbody Club which provides online STREAMING to HUNDREDS of workouts!
I picked a few of my favorites to share with the group this week!!!
NUTRITION:
I have shared this simplified meal plan with my participants and I will walk them through how I plan out my meals, how the prep all goes down and how I maximize on those leftovers.
I think its safe to say we are ALL BUSY:
Working mom, stay at home mom, dog mom, pinterest mom, amazon mom, entrepreneurs, corporate ladder climbers, etc..
We are all BUSY – but learning how to effectively PLAN out and PREPARE for the week ahead is CLUTCH!
And the final piece comes in ACTIONS and less words.
SUPPORT:
Its the accountability – knowing that there is a group of other people right there along side you – learning as you go – trying, failing, and moving forward.
Its hard to explain it to you-but I can SHOW you first hand the power it holds!
Maybe you’ve thought about joining me in a group – maybe you’ve been one to think you had it all under control and you didn’t need ANYONE else’s help (that was SOOO me about 3.5 years ago!!!) – just check it out!
I mean what do you have to lose?
If you’re interested please email: maeganblinka@gmail.com
“I’d love to coach but I just don’t have the time”
Oh if I had a dime for every time I hear that comment from someone I’d be living in the Caribbean!!!
Here’s the deal.
You probably don’t have time.
You really don’t.
But if you want something bad enough…if you want to BUILD your own business and you have a strong enough WHY – I PROMISE you…you will MAKE TIME.
#realtalk
If you had told me 3 years ago – as I frantically attempted to figure out how to be a SAHM mom to a demanding 2 year old who stopped napping and a newborn who threw up every meal he ate and NEVER…. I mean NEVER slept – that I would just up and start a work from home business around helping other people from laptop…I would have LAUGHED in your face and then sent you to the looney bin.
It just wasn’t in the cards for me.
I was “BUSY”
But here’s the thing…we are all busy.
And we all make time for the things that MATTER – that IMPACT us.
I fell IN LOVE with it all.
Quickly.
With the amazing support from my fellow challengers.
With the family aspect of this team I joined.
With the confidence I was GAINING each and every single day.
I had a purpose again…beyond my role as MOM….
I was HELPING others the same WAY I was helped. And it felt good.
So it didn’t become a question of if I had time.
The question was – How can I make TIME?
And you know what – I FIGURED IT OUT.
I didn’t work in an office.
No two days were the same.
I didn’t have 9-5 hours.
BUT I MADE IT WORK.
Trial and Error.
Failing forward.
Making sacrifices.
I made it work – because I wanted it to work for me!!!
And if you want to make it work – I PROMISE you – you can.
And I can TEACH you exactly what I did and the systems I have put in place as I teach my TEAM as we continue to grow and change the lives of others every single day.
My next coach training academy is launching on MONDAY February 6th – and you’re invited…IF you are willing to make the time!
***Apply below – must not be a coach or be working with another coach***
You see this last weekend I did something I envisioned a year ago but wasn’t certain it would become a reality…at least not so soon!
Now I have to share that this would not have been possible without the incredible support of my husband
He was a key player as I hosted my first ever DIAMOND Retreat in Deep Creek MD with one of my closest friends and what I like to think of as my Business Partner in crime!
You see…Sarah and I attended a leadership retreat last year hosted by our upline sponsor coach and we decided that this year we would do the same…with OUR leaders WE would help shape as we built our teams, our legacy, our TRIBEs throughout the last year.
Sarah and I are Success Partners.
We are each other’s biggest fans, shoulder to lean on, supporter and FRIEND. We get each other, build on one another’s strength’s and compliment each other’s weaknesses in a way that allows us to become better Coaches and better LEADERS.
Being able to work together to host this weekend and to get these girls together was literally a DREAM COME TRUE!
The only thing that would have made it better was if all our Diamond Coaches could attend!
Our Friday morning kicked off with a car loaded with gifts, food, craft supplies and perhaps some beverages!
We planned this weekend to not only recognize our leaders but help them grow, answer their questions, give them advice, help them with their vision and have some fun and celebrate all our team accomplishments!!!
The girls all walked in to a table covered with personalized posters and a few gifts of course!!! Gift giving has become my love language in this business. These ladies work H-A-R-D and being able to shower them with meaningful, purposeful gifts fills my heart, or my cup shall I say!
Friday night included a training while we piled high on the couches, ears wide open ready to absorb, take notes, and apply these things to our business.
We had fun asking questions, allowing the girls to all get to know each other and all sharing a bit more about ourselves and WHY we all not just took this LEAP into coaching but continue to work hard each and every day to grow our businesses and serve others!
There were happy tears, some sad tears and a heck of a lot of bonding!
Our Saturday was JAM PACKED…starting with few minutes for ME!
I know it may sound crazy but I need these 10-15 minutes of positivity in the mornings to get into that mindset.
We enjoyed a COUNTRY HEAT LIVE workout led by one of our coaches…
From the girl who never wears make up and didn’t even OWN a curling iron to last year I will admit…getting all done up and feeling like a princess is one heck of a confidence boost!
When the glam was over we switched gears and headed off to the Lake to RELAX. I honestly feel that the best aspect was NO WIFI!!
Unplugged, laughing, chatting, being adventurous and simply being together was so rejuvenating!
We enjoyed all our meals at the house, prepared with good company, keeping it clean where we could
and splurging where anyone would…ICE CREAM BAR!
The last “activity” included crafting up vision boards together.
Each girl brought their own board, ideas and together we talked about what we wanted, what we needed, what our path looked like and how big our dreams could be dreamt!
Did you know when you write out your goals it will force you to clarify what you want because it will motivate you to take action?
It will provide a filter for other opportunities and it will help you overcome resistance because it will enable you to see—and celebrate—your progress.
If I can give you one bit of advice: its don’t just sit with your goals in your head.
Write them down.
Share them with others.
And celebrate every step along the way!
Our night ended, we woke up Sunday morning, said our goodbye’s and all headed home.
Grateful
Thankful
and
BLESSED to have this weekend.
I often share that this life I now have is nothing that I ever imagined my life would look like.
I thought I was going to be this successful business woman working in a tall city sky scraper in NYC making the big bucks
But now that I look back, I realize that I still have that career I envisioned…I just work from a home office in the Pittsburgh suburbs…

My team is hosting a sneak peek into coaching event next week and I would love to share more with YOU!
Who’s ready to join me July 18th for my 4-week Love Yourself SUMMER Kickstart Challenge?
We will start with 7 days of PREP complete with meal planning, new ideas, recipes and tips to help you get up and running followed by our 3 week – 21 DAY Challenge!
Traveling? Vacation? Weddings? Company? NO PROBLEM!!!!
This is about finding ways to create a healthy LIFESTYLE with balance, fulfillment and RESULTS!
This group will combine both FITNESS & NUTRITION.
I am highlighting the 21-Day Fix and Fix Extreme this month as these two programs have been the most KEY in helping not only myself but the majority of my challengers but we will discuss what is best for YOU!
You can expect sample meal plans during the group but you’ll have the freedom and flexibility to make these specific plans fit YOUR lifestyle.
This group requires that I AM YOUR COACH & that you commit to a fitness program that we will decide on together.
Each participant will replace one meal with our nutrient dense superfood meal replacement, Shakeology and I’ll provide you with the support, motivation and drive to not only COMMIT but follow through with your commitment.
There will only be 15 participants selected this round so it will be based on a first come first serve basis!!!!
Anyone who enrolls by the end of day July 15th will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card.
Fill out the application below, invite some friends & get pumped up!!!
After buying 3 heads of cauliflower (that ended up sitting in my fridge until they grew mold) the 4th one was a charm!!! I braved the ever intimidating cauliflower crust pizza and while it was a bit time consuming at first I have to say – it was a family hit!!! I love that it is gluten free and while a bit too many blues for my usual 21-day fix approved daily nutrition plan – it was a hit and will be back in the rotation for sure!!!
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 cups riced cauliflower (it will reduce to about 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower. One large head will make about 6 cups of riced cauliflower…enough for 3 pizzas. You can cook multiple at once and eat as leftovers or save for another day/another meal)
1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp roasted red pepper and garlic seasoning (you could use garlic, onion, italian, etc…just a little bit of something to spice it up)
1 tsp crushed garlic
Pizza sauce and toppings of your choice!
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1. To rice the cauliflower, cut into florets then smaller chunks and pulse in a food processor until you see rice-like bits. Do not over process, you don’t want it to be mushy!!!
2. Microwave the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl for about 6 minutes (keep in mind all microwaves vary!!!) There is no need to add water – the cauliflower is all you need! After microwaving, move the cooked – riced cauliflower into a mesh strainer or cheese cloth and drain completely, pressing out excess water. Once drained, transfer to a clean dish towel or stack of paper towels and continue pressing out any excess water. This key is step – if you do not get the water out your crust will not be crispy!
3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray (I prefer olive oil spray!)
4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup riced, cooked cauliflower, 1 egg, beaten and your parmesan cheese. Next, add seasonings and crushed garlic. Make sure everything is well mixed – I prefer using my hands!!! Place the dough mixture on the cookie sheet and pat out 8-9” round or square pizza crust.
(Note: I doubled the recipe to make two pizzas as shown below)
5. Bake your dough at 450 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

6. Remove from oven. Add sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite (pre-cooked) toppings to your pizza. We did one pizza with just cheese and sauce for the kiddos and one with chicken and sautéed spinach on the other. Place pizza under broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or just until cheese is melted.
ENJOY!!!!
If you have any other tweaks, ideas or great topping combos please share away!!
I like to keep my family recipes as CLEAN yet flavorful – as possible! We limit gluten but LOVE pizza so this was a big hit!!!
Whether you’re new to clean eating or a seasoned pro – if you’re interested in more information fill out the form below to join one of my upcoming health and fitness accountability groups! Its a place to share nutrition ideas, recipes, motivation, tips and help one another work towards those health & fitness goals!
👉I graduated from college in the top of my class with a degree in Finance and Accounting.
👉I spent 6 years in public accounting – where the majority of my life was spent WORKING – missing out on events, missing my friends and family and watching my little girl grow up through the pictures I received.
👉2 years ago I left my career to be home and raise my babies to “never work again” and I really did believe that statement!!!
🙌Then I joined an online accountability group to help lose just 3 post-baby pounds but I had no idea what I would gain…
I found a common ground with these girls. We were supporting one another, working towards our own health and fitness goals and shortly after all working to pay it forward and help others realize their true potential too!
I didn’t have a vision at first. I never imagined I could create a BUSINESS working from home, while continuously working to become the best version of myself, helping my family become healthier, traveling, working towards financial FREEDOM and building incredible friendships!!!
I would not be living such a fulfilling life today if I hadn’t taken the leap to become a Beachbody Coach 15 months ago!
While it was the accountability that got me started, it was the friendships, support and being lifted up higher that keeps me going!!!
I feel so blessed to have this opportunity and taking the road less traveled to achieve success I didn’t think I was capable of!
Who’s ready to join me July 18th for my 4-week Love Yourself SUMMER Kickstart Challenge?
