Motivation Shaker, Ashley Tabb

September began with the last 2 weekends of pool seasons.  We closed it out in style...being at the pool as much as we could...Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday of Labor Day weekend.  It was sad to say good-bye to a wonderful summer!! With summer behind us, there are so many options for the fall in Kentucky...  there is rarely a dull moment!! For our family we checked several of these items off in September and will continue with the fall bucket list in October!!   Another round of 21 Day Fix started for me in September.  I was up each weekday morning at 5:30am doing Cardio, weightlifting, Yoga or Pilates.  Then after showering and getting ready, I got the kids breakfast and blended my Shakeology shake.  With school in full swing, Courtney and Matt headed to the bus stop around 7am and Caroline and I waved as it drove by at 7:07am.  On the weekends I woke up by 6:30am to ensure my 30 minute workout was complete before the girl...

Over the past few days I watched (via Facebook posts) as my upline coach, Melanie Mitro , took several of her personally sponsored coaches on a retreat to Florida. I'll admit, I was a little jealous and wished Melanie was my personal coach to be extended an invitation, but I wouldn't have the journey I have had if it weren't for my personal coach, Lindsay.  I am thrilled I have the opportunity to learn from Melanie about how she has become the #1 coach (out of over 300,000 coaches) in ALL of Beachbody...in 3 years. Her daily posts, weekly team webinars, weekly rising star webinars and private Facebook messages help me reach my goal of Diamond Coach in 6 months while working full-time. Watching her posts this week has inspired me to take a leap of faith and schedule my own retreat for my personally sponsored coaches in Spring 2016. It might not be to Florida, but I am going to plan a fun retreat for my coaches to come together, make amazing memories, new frien...

Each week at church I take notes during the sermon and stick them in my purse.  This week as I pulled out the paper to put it in the recycler, I thought...why do I even take notes if I don't share them with anyone or put them where I can revisit them in the future.  And then it hit me...I can put them on my blog!!!  They may or may not mean anything to anyone else, but they might and I will be able to review them as I look through my posts each month.  So here is the 1st of my church notes.... Ways of Being & Relating to Others 1. Who's going to inherit the earth? --those that are meek or humble....just like finding a wild horse and breaking it. Meekness is knowing your strength and using it to give to God and others rather than just being strong and going wild with your strength. 2. Who will be satisfied? --those that hunger for the thirst of righteousness. Snickers may make us satisifed for a moment but then we will need more and be hungry. Eating hea...

A year ago, I had absolutely zero idea what a BeachBody coach was, had never heard of the 21 Day Fix, vaguely knew who Shaun T was and thought the infomercials were fake and unrealistic. I didn’t think anyone could really achieve those types of results from home workouts and thought the pictures were photo shopped  😂  no joke!! Met Shaun T in July as his new hip hop workout CIZE launched.  But after a friend shared her results and experiences, I decided to purchase a challenge pack and join a support group myself…what did I have to lose… the is a 30 day money back guarantee so I figured I’d return the Shakeology if I didn’t like it and DVDs if I didn’t see results. After my 1st round of 21 Day Fix and 21 days of Shakeology, I had lost 5 pounds, increased energy and lost a pant size. I wanted to continue drinking Shakeology for breakfast each morning after my workout. This is my "before" and "after" pictures in August 2014 When my coach asked if I’...
