Spread Positive Vibes

One of the things that holds people back from going after what they want is fear of the unknown and fear of judgement.  I’m often asked, "Do you care what other people think of your posts?" or "Do you worry people will be offended when you invite them to your groups?"

Well yeah....I want people to find my posts interesting, motivating, valuable and cute (especially the ones of my family). And I want people to know they are welcome to gain support and accountability from others working towards similar goals.

We live in a society where people try to tear us down. Last night I watched ESPN’s 30 for 30 highlighting Coach John Calipari’s career and these words jumped out….”People don’t like you when you beat them or have success. They only pat you on the back when THEY win.”

It’s sad but true. So many times we put others down for doing a great job rather than celebrating their success with them. Instead we should lift people up rather than always compete and knock them down.

So I want people to look at my page and gain inspiration, motivation and positive vibes. To many newsfeeds are filled with content creating self doubt, lowering self esteem or spreading hate.

As a motivation coach, I encourage others to push a little harder and “refuse to lose!” Like Coach Cal...Have your own “swagger” and don’t be intimidated by others. Failure isn’t an option.

I choose to focus less on the opinions of others and more on my actions. You have to work hard, but you don’t have be alone...find a group of positive people and/or a mentor that will support you on your journey. And then consider mentoring others by sharing your experiences and how they can succeed too!!

Here's a message I got a few days ago from a challengers excited for our challenge group and what she's experienced so far in her journey...

Be the person who says "I'm glad I took a chance" rather than "I wish I did."

Email me or send me a private message on Facebook for a spot in my next Challenge Group or Coach Mentorship and start your journey to being healthier and happier and spread positive vibes!!

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.

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
