I do it for me. I do it for you.

I come 1st and do this for me. 
I wake up early each morning while everyone else in my house is asleep, so I have "me time." 
I do the workouts and commit to the challenge to prove to myself I can do them and to show that you can do them too.
I am a "product of the product." 
I do the workouts and I share them. 
I don't just say you should do them, I show why you should do them by actually doing them myself and getting the results that are advertised. 
I drink the shakes and share recipes. 
I create meal plans and follow them. I share the plan and the food I eat. I share those recipes too. 
I host accountability groups and share what's happening in the group and how others are achieving results. 
I lead a team and share it's growth, our fun events and how you can join us too. 
I can't help everyone.  I can only help so many.
You can make time for you, love that time and share your struggles and successes too.

It may look simple but when you start doing the work it will hurt and be hard. 
The more you do it, the easier and automatic it will become.
Maybe I looks like I'm in shape and can easily do a program but new programs are hard for me too. 
I'm falling over my feet and sweating. 
The meal plans still aren't easy either.  
The first step is creating it which causes me anxiety all day weekend until it's done.  
That shouldn't happen but I worry about it until I have it typed out.
Then sticking to it when I'm rushed and busy during the week is hard too. 
This week I want a glass of wine, the taco tarts and peach cobbler dessert but that would be falling to temptations. 
It isn't about losing weight for me.
It's about showing that the program can be done and proving that it's possible so when someone says they can't, I can say "YES YOU CAN." 
I can say it with confidence and tell them I felt the same way when I started. 
I can tell them I struggled and pushed through and made it to the end. 
I can tell them I got better and stronger each day. 
At first I felt awkward and couldn't figure out the moves but then it got easier each time I pushed play. 
My buns hurt and sweat dripped into my eyes and it burned but I kept going. 
I push through and didn't quit. 
I do it for me.  I do it for you.

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
