The results are in....

Three weeks ago, I started my 21 Day Fix Challenge. I hosted a free online group and completed the Challenge myself too. My group lost over 30 pounds!!! I am crazy excited for each of my challengers for taking charge of their fitness and making huge strides to a better, healthier self. As for me, I lost 6 pounds and 7 inches! This was no magic pill or potion. Just plain 'ole exercise and eating right. You know, the same mantra your doctor preaches. And I had fun! I loved checking in with my Challengers, seeing what recipes they were making, hearing how they squeezed in a workout into their crazy, busy life. It was inspiring and kept me motivated through the three weeks!

For me, it was powerful to see the impact my workouts had on my two sweet girls. I started getting up a little earlier to squeeze in the workout because once the kids get up, I'm in full mommy-mode for the day and it's hard to break away for 30 minutes. But some mornings, they would wake a little early and make their way to the basement and snuggle on the couch and watch me finish my program. They would occasionally join in and do some of the routine with me. I know they are watching everything we do as parents. I love that I can be a positive influence and inspire them to live a healthy, active life! If you are looking for a personal coach or a new challenge, message me! I would love to help you reach your personal goals. :)

This is one of my workout buddies cheering me on!

Exciting New Venture!

I am so excited to share that I  joined Team Beachbody as a Health & Fitness Coach! I am passionate about healthy eating and fitness and I love encouraging others to make healthy choices. Beachbody is a perfect fit for me because it gives me the opportunity to talk to people about a healthy lifestyle every day. I get to continually improve my fitness with their incredibly popular and effective programs. My faves are PiYo and the 21 Day Fix! I just started Shakeology and love the taste and knowing it's my 'Healthiest Meal of the Day' because it's loaded with good stuff for my body. I feel so encouraged by the Beachbody community and am thrilled to have the chance to make a huge, positive impact on the health of myself, my family, and friends!

For this reason, I'm renaming my blog to represent my lifestyle and passion. There will always be family updates but now new healthy living posts too.

Stay tuned for the results of my 21 Day Fix Challenge! And if you are in need of a coach, cheerleader and fitness partner, I would love the opportunity to encourage you on your fitness journey! My girls are loving the healthier, more energetic version of me too. Here we are celebrating all things silly!
