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!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things! Birthday Edition

Today is my birthday!   I thought I would share with you a few things I am madly in love with!   First up is the new Shakeology Boosts!   I just got back from vacation and I have to say.   Not a lot of veggies were eaten.   So today I added a full serving of leafy green vegetables to my Shakeology.   Now I know what you are thinking.   How does it taste?   Honestly I don't notice a flavor change at all!   Here is the scoop:

Power Greens Boost contains veggies like cucumber, kale, and spinach to deliver a full serving of vegetables in each scoop. Plus, this potent Boost supports the body's natural acid/alkaline balance.

There are other options as well:

Focused Energy boost :This unique formula is designed to deliver a wholesome boost of energy. The energy comes from 100 mg of natural caffeine from guarana and green tea. This Boost also supports mental clarity, alertness, and focus.  

Digestive Health boost: With a unique blend of 7 grams of both soluble AND insoluble fiber packed into every single scoop, this formula stands apart from typical fiber supplements that contain only soluble fiber. This powerful boost helps support regularity and digestive health

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!

Grace for the Race

Today I was on the phone with a friend.  Someone who has recently gained back the weight she had lost.   She was asking me for advice on what she should do to get back on track.   As we are were discussing her options, I reflected on my own journey.   I reflected on other people whose paths have I have crossed.  Truly in the 3 years I have been a coach I KNOW that this path to being healthy is a spriritual, physical and emotional journey.   Do we take time to address the spiritual or emotional?
