Daily Encouragement and Reading Results in Increased Confidence

Last night I watched 6 AMAZING women share how they found the coaching and I’m fired up once again.  If I weren’t already a coach, I’d become one now.

I’ve been having a rough time with some changes recently but thanks to good friends, many that I made through my experiences as a coach, listening to books that increase my confidence and getting “me” time through exercise I am able to life myself up when I’m down rather than just go into a depressed state.

There have been times when I was knocked down and I wanted to stay on the ground, but the I listen to “You are a Badass” or “Big Magic” and I’m reminded about how much I have to offer and the these battles are just making me stronger.   Before becoming a coach I was encouraged through UK Leadership programs to read specific books and people talked about listening to podcasts and Audible, but it didn’t hit me until I was encouraged daily through Beachbody to read.

Sometimes we hear things and know they are a good idea but brush them aside.  We put them on our to-do list but then never actually get to them.  However when we are in an environment that encourages us everyday it starts to sink in.  That’s what happened with personal development…I knew it was a good thing and I wanted to do it but I didn’t know how.

Before Beachbody I didn’t use the podcast app and I didn’t have an Audible account.  Now I listen to several different podcasts weekly and an Audible book at least 10-20 minutes daily.  I have over 20 books in my “library” and have listened to several of them more than once!! Some of my other favorite books include “The Energy Bus,” “Miracle Morning” and “Bounce Back.”


Thanks to personal development and Beachbody’s daily encouragement to read and learn from others, I am happier and stronger not only physically but mentally too.  Sometimes you just need a little extra nudge to get started….and to continue with it daily.  I know if I didn’t hear how important it is daily, I wouldn’t push play on my books daily and I’d likely stay down on the ground when times get tough.

Beachbody coaching has increased my confidence through personal development and now I encourage my coaches and friends to read and listen to more books that can help them in all aspects of their life….their fitness journey, career, motherhood and as a wife.

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies.  I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good.  Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in.  My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option!  The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients:  1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make:  Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold. If you are interested in more healthy eating or Shakeology recipes or are looking for fitness support...create

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule.  The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls.  By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom.  Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago.  Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week.  My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked her a few questions th

Almond Joy candy vs. wonder whip

As Halloween approaches, candy options are more and more tempting.  Ok, maybe candy is tempting all year around!!  You want to think those little pieces of chocolate won't affect your weight goals, but they can.  Especially when it's hard to just eat one or two.  Personally, I would much rather have several bites of dessert than just one, so these wonder whip solutions are an amazing alternative to a few pieces of candy!! They are much more filling and satisfying!!  Whip up a bowl today and give your sweet tooth what it wants!!   Thanks to Ilana Muhlstein for sharing this recipe and her registered dietitian knowledge through the 2B Mindset Nutrition program and certified mentorship training!  B oth the Almond Joy candy and wonder whip have 235 calories, but you get a WHOLE cup with the whip rather than just two bites!!  Ingredients:  1 Cup 0-2% Plain Greek Yogurt 1 TBSP unsweetened Shredded Coconut 1 TBSP Cocoa Nibs 2 tsp. cocoa powder
