Tips to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

Why wait until the New Year to set a weight loss goal?   I would like to avoid gaining the average 10 pounds a person can expect to gain over the months of November and December.   So I need to make a plan and put some action behind it.    Here are some tips I came up with to help us all stay on track.

1.  Have a plan for fitness.   Plan to workout at home, go for a walk or run, or hit the gym for at least 30 minutes 5 or 6 days a week.

2.  Have a plan for nutrition.  Meal plan on the weekend.   Make sure you shop and prep the food ahead of time for easy access.   Cook chicken and portion it out ahead of time.   Cut up vegetables and fruit and use ziplock bags for easy storage.   Know what you are going to eat and how much.   

3.  Be accountable.   You've got goals, shout them out!   Tell a friend or spouse, post to social media.  Find a small group of like minded individuals to help keep you accountable.

4.  Drink your water.   Current recommendation are to divide your current weight by 2 and drink that amount in ounces of water.   For example if you weigh 150 pounds you should be drinking 75 ounces of water each day.  

5. Eliminate temptation.   Donate treats that are still in your house to a local food pantry.   Don't buy what you know you can't manage.   You control what goes in your shopping cart and it has to start there.  

These are just a handful.   Do you have tips of your own?  Share them below!   I would love to hear from you.  

Losing weight during the Holidays can happen.   Stop guessing what needs to be done and make a plan.   Fill out my form below and I will connect you with simple nutrition and fitness that works!

From depressed mom to empowered coach! How Beachbody coaching changed my life. For real!

2011 I was DEPRESSED. My marriage was in a bad place. I didn't know myself. I did not recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. I tried to find some pictures of me, but I was hiding. Hiding behind people. Hiding myself. 
Looking back I had NO idea how starting P90X would change my life so completely. While my husband and I received counseling and healed our marriage. I needed something for myself.

I completed P90X and had great results. I was looking for a way to earn money from home. I have a strong desire to be a stay at home MOM, but also contribute to the family finances. My coach Joline offered the opportunity to me several times. You might be surprised that I said NO, several times. I didn't want to be a yucky salesman. I wanted a legitimate way to earn income from home. What I didn't know is that the coaching opportunity was my answer.

October 2011 I said YES. Reflecting back again I had no idea how this would dramatically change my life. The doors were opened wide to helping several women to lose weight and in turn change their lives. I have had countless conversations with women which gives me the opportunity to speak TRUTH into their lives. THEY matter no matter what the scale says, no matter how much they weigh. They have value! What a privilege to speak TRUTH. See I believe that weight loss, and getting healthy are emotional and spiritual as well as physical.
3 years later I can see how God is using me. Becoming a coach just gave me a platform to speak truth. I earn a decent income all from home! I am a confident leader of a growing team. I get to be a part of life change. What a blessing!

My team is having a 5 day sneak peek into coaching. I want to invite you to check us out. To ask questions. To be informed. So if you are into fitness. You want to earn an income from home that is legit. You have a desire to pay it forward and help others. Then YOU don't want to miss this! 

Please comment below so we can connect and you can have your own platform for your own message!   I look forward to hearing from you!

An introverted coach?

I am an introvert.   I like to be at home with my family.   I enjoy deep meaningful conversation.  I dislike small talk.   I love people.   I love being around groups of people.   I just feel recharged when I am alone.    

I am a coach.   I meet new people everyday.   I help people reach their health and fitness goals.   I help people be successful.   I am passionate about my coaching.

I want you to know that all kinds of people make great coaches.   Extroverts and introverts.   This business suits me because I can do it from home.   I can connect with people on my time.   

In fact I just got back from Lincoln, NE from a Super Saturday event.   It was awesome to be in a group of like minded people.   It was great to workout LIVE with Shaun T.  It fueled me to go home and keep reaching out to people.   There are lots of people out there who are just looking to connect with someone.   Even introverts can do that.   Thankfully we can do it from home!

If you have any questions about coaching or what it means to be a coach.  I would love to connect with you!
