30 Days of Gratitude

This is your invitation…will you accept it? So it’s been a busy month and this is a crazy, busy week…especially in Lexington, KY!! We have a UK basketball scrimmage to watch tonight…yes another practice to watch on TV!!  Then there are Breeder’s Cup activities all week, a UK football game Saturday night and oh yeah…it’s Halloween week!!  So there are several school and activities around Halloween and the actual treat or tricking Saturday night!!  It’s a whirlwind keeping everything straight…getting everyone where they need to be and keeping up with daily responsibilities.  But in the mist of it all I want to be a good example for my girls and so I try to show them how to organize things, eat healthy and keep my exercise consistent.  And I feel I have handle on those things, but sometimes…ok most of the time, I fail to communicate my appreciation for all that I have! Don't Forget To Enjoy Your Blessings Today I j...

Encourage. Motivate. Inspire. Reasons to Become a Team Beachbody Coach.

Have you ever said to yourself… "I need a new challenge" or "I need more income for the kids’ activities" or "I wish I could make a difference?" Do you want to give yourself a pay raise? Do you want plan a dream vacation? Do you want to feel amazing for helping others achieve their goals? I know I know, it sounds too good to be true, right?!?!? Well, I won't lie, I work hard, but the hard work is worth it! I set my own pace, I set my own goals and then I ran my own race! If I want to work harder I work harder, if I need a break, I take a break! But in the end the best feeling in the world is knowing that my success is a direct reflection of my daily activities and consistency! And this is the thing...coaching does not feel like “work”.   I love encouraging. I love motivating. I love being inspired by others.   I love being part of something positive. I love helping others live better. I love getting up and seizing the day. I absolu...

Meal Planning for Kids with Braces

As parents, we have to make hard choices for our kids.  Recently, Matt & I had to make the decision for Courtney to have braces and a Bluegrass Roller for the next year.  We talked about it with her and she talked with a friend about it, so I thought we were prepared.  Matt and I both had braces and so we thought it wouldn’t be too bad.  The day came yesterday….her braces and roller were installed.  She was SOOO brave and handled everything as maturely as an 8 year old can.  The hygienist gave her the overview of everything she can and can’t have for the next year and it hit us hard…we knew it was coming but my first thought was….why did we not have a weekend of goodbyes to all the food she won’t be able to have for the next year.  Then again, this may have caused more anxiety.  We did have popcorn on Sunday and steak last week, but there are so many other things she has to give up while she has braces. So now, I am searching for w...

Spooky Shakology & Streaming Sampler

These days there are so many different products out there it is hard to decide which one is the right one. I drink Shakeology because all of the ingredients are quality ingredients. It has some sugar in it, but these sugars are from the ingredients themselves. There is no ADDED sugar in SHAKEOLOGY. Beachbody is always keeping up to date with the newest information to continue providing you the best products! Shakeology is also a MEAL REPLACEMENT. It is not a PROTEIN SHAKE. One serving is equivalent to going to the salad bar 7 times!! This is why the price is considered HIGH to some people. You are getting 30 MEALS in 1 bag! How much do you spend at the drive-thru or on your flavored coffees each day in a month? The protein in Shakeology is the HIGHEST commercial grade protein available. Plus, there are also VEGAN options. There is no Soy in Shakeology (please read up on the dangers of soy). Shakeology helps keep your blood sugar stable, reduces your cravings and hung...

Like Mother, Like Daughter

You get what you put back in...so challenge yourself!  Don't sell yourself short...have confidence you can do it and go for it!! As we watched football last night Caroline and Courtney were showing off their skills. I didn't think Courtney could crawl under Caroline but Caroline was confident in herself and her sister and they did it...several times!!  Then this morning during #21dayfixextreme I pushed myself to hold a bridge but not one was up yet to crawl under me :)  Believe in yourself and others!! You'll never know until you try!! Over the next 21 Days, I am committing to push myself with 21 Day Fix Extreme.  It won't be easy and it won't always be fun, but I need to push my workout up a notch.  I've been doing 21 Day Fix for a few months now and am ready for the next level again!! Are you ready to start a fitness journey or change up your workout routine?  Do you need help finding a good workout that will challenge you in limited tim...
