Les Mills Combat - Review

     Beachbody Program: Les Mills Combat - Review by Sherin G Stark of Stark-Fit-Results
I chose 5 Categories to review it in, I hope this is helpful for those of you making a decision of whether or not to give it a Go....
     *Ease of Following the Instructors: I felt like the instructors took the time to start out slowly doing the moves several times at a slower pace helping you be able to catch on. They gave very clear instructions on how to preform the majority of all the moves. 
     *The Energy Level and Music at Motivating You to Get it Done: The instructors are Super Fun, Upbeat and very Motivating through out the whole work out. They are real, you can see the sweat dripping off them, they get out of breath, makes you feel human, when you know even they can't get through a whole work out still looking and acting like it was easy to do. 
and Oh My Gosh the Music is soooo awesome. It's catchy, real songs, with clean lyrics and goes so very well with the exercises you are performing, that it helps things to feel like you are breezing right through.
     *Difficulty Level: I would feel this is an intermediate to advanced program for sure. If you have not worked out in years, this isn't the program I would jump into. I'd suggest starting with something like PiYo, or 21 Day Fix, for the first 60 days to get your body ready to do some of these more Intense moves. 
     *Results You Might Expect to See Through Completing the Program: More toned in your tummy, saddle bag area, thighs and hamstrings, and shoulders. and better coordination.
     *Daily Time Commitment: There are 3 of the 7 video's that are 25-30 mins, then 1 that is 45 and 2 that are 58 mins. That includes the warm up and cool down. About 1 day a week (they suggest 5 days a week of exercise) you do one of the longer work outs. 
     I LOVED this program, it felt incredible to conquer and my body is so much more toned and feeling Great!!! I Highly recommend you give this program a go....

Organized Religion??? Is it for me or not?

     I have so many thoughts swirling around in my mind today, I hope that I can put them down into writing, so that they may touch someones heart and be an answer to their pleadings, searching, and prayers, as they were to mine.

     I am a Christian and part of an organized Religion. So I often get the question why do you believe in organized religion? or I have friends tell me that, they do not feel there is a purpose for organized religion in their Life. So I woke up with these thoughts on my mind, and the question of WHY Organized Religion??? Why do I attend and believe it is important. Here are the thoughts and feeling that I hope make sense to you, if you have been questioning the importance of maybe incorporating it into your life. 

     When you are trying to break an addiction You would attend a SUPPORT Group, a place to go and share your thoughts feelings, struggles, triumphs, etc... and those that attend with you or facilitate the group would be there to encourage, support, and buoy you up as you face the day to day trials that Breaking an addiction entail.

     When you are trying to lose weight, or make healthier choices, you find a SUPPORT group, like minded individuals to associate with. You rub shoulders with others who are working to be healthier, and you get strength from your Group, when you are having a rough day and not feeling like you can be strong and make good decision, members of your group are their to encourage you and help you be strong. 

     When you love to read and want friends or like minded people who want to discuss with you what your book was about, you join a book Group. That way when you all get together and talk you learn things from others perspectives or things about the book that you may have missed had someone in the group not have pointed it out. 

     Our lives are so much more enriched when we have like minded friends to discus, or share perspectives on life or God that maybe we hadn't though of or learned about ourselves. 

     When we just sit at home and read our bible, that is WONDERFUL (I am not dogging that at all) But the Devil is really conniving and a Master of lies. When you make a mistake even though it may be small, rather than have the support system in place to get back up and keep trying. You have a Devil right there to whisper into your ear how dumb you were for making that choice, and how worthless you are for repeating the same mistake more than once. Many times convincing us in our minds that their is NO path to Repentance and NO way a SINNER like us could ever be loved by Christ.

     But this is simply not true, We all have a FATHER who loves us soooo much that he sent his Son, our Brother Jesus Christ to die on our behalf so that we had a way to repentance and a path back to our Father. A Path paved with many others mistakes and triumphs. NOT one of us that has set foot on this path is free of SIN, we ALL SIN EVERY DAY in fact. BUT with the support from other like minded Christians who are also looking for support and encouragement and love and perspective, the Path is a Whole Lot Easier to walk.

     I want to Invite you to find a Religion that you feel meets your needs and gives you the support and strength and love you need in your life, and Attend it. Let God into your life and your life will be Rich, and you will be able to bless others lives too, through your attendance. There are so many options to choose from, and we are all soooo different in our needs and wants and desires of the heart. 

    I KNOW my God is there to pick me back up when I fall and let me know he loves me, and Many times he chooses to show me that through people (friends) just like you. 

     I would be happy to share with you My Religion, I love it and it's a Perfect fit for me, if you aren't sure where to start, your always welcome as a visitor with me.

Merry Christmas and a PROSPEROUS New Year!!!

So, I'm still lying here in bed on this Christmas Eve morn, at 9:30am. I've been thinking about my life and how incredibly wonderful it is. I wanted to share with those of you who are interested in reading this, just a few of the blessings I've been pondering on over the last 30 mins.
but first a short back story so you will understand more fully my appreciation today, just one year ago, we had pennies on our pockets, and had to rely on food stamps to put food on the table.
My hubby was working a full time job, but it still didn't make ends meet for us, I felt like we were spiraling into a black hole and I wasn't sure hope we could make it stop, let alone change the out come and make things start going upward.

I had lived through many Christmases where we were fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a Charitable gift giving experience, but it had been more Christmases than not. And I Promised myself Last year that I would Make things Happen, so that in the coming years I would be the one Gifting and not Getting. My long term Goal is to be able Each Year do something quietly and gift a family who couldn't otherwise afford to have a Christmas, a Surprise Christmas. 
So after many long months and years of Praying, down on my Knees crying out to the Lord for a way to Change and get out of the situation we were in, My Prayer was answered!!!
My Sweet friend offered me an opportunity to learn more about Beachbody Coaching, at first I brushed her off thinking it was just another one of those Network Marketing Companies that you spend countless hours working on and really never get any where. One of those companies where spend money time and again to attend these training's but all that really goes on is back biting and undercutting and MEANness (which I had experienced BIG time before in another company)
But as I watched and talked with her, I could see she was HAPPY and things were MOVING Upwards for her at a quick pace. So I decided to listen to what she had to share with me.
Because of Beachbody and what it teaches over the last year, My Life (and my families) has changed Drastically!!! 
*We are Healthier, we don't reward ourselves with unhealthy foods, we have found other ways to let our children know they did a job well, or we are proud of them in school, etc...
*I have learned to understand and be able to sympathize with others on a level I couldn't before (because I was always just feeling sorry for myself and my circumstances) 
*We were able to take a trip to the Oregon coast for 5 days completely paid for from my Beachbody Income.
*I have made so many incredible friends and strengthened friendships that were not very strong before. 
*I have learned to LOVE others and help them feel loved, included, appreciated and KNOW they are worthwhile
*My Marriage has improved by leaps and bounds, there are days that I just don't want to be apart from my Husband, I want him around a lot. Where before, 50% of the time we just fought over the dumbest stuff.
*I have learned the importance of reading/ listening to Personal Development books. Books that have taught me the importance of working to Better me, if I want my circumstances to be better. Books that have taught me to Lead by example and with LOVE not by Commanding or scare tactics. Books that have taught me how to manage my time more wisely and not procrastinate. 
*We no longer live Paycheck to Paycheck, and rely on food assistance from the state, to provide for the families needs
*Last week we needed new tires (that's a big expense) right before Christmas. BUT we were able to purchase them, with out too much hesitation, because we have enough money coming in that we could afford it. 
*We now have a savings account. "Say what?" The LAST Time we had that was almost 5 years ago.
*we have a tree filled with gifts under it, and it wasn't a huge stress trying to make things or get used/recycled free stuff from friends that I could gift to the kids
*I have peace of mind KNOWING that I am able to serve others with donations, and because I am in a stable position mentally, physically and emotionally that I can be a ROCK for those who need it
*and one of the BIGGEST things I have had a transformation of is LOVING my body!!! I NOW walk past the mirror and think of positive things (that come naturally) about myself, where as before I would literally stand and criticize myself for 10 mins. 
*Oh and my body FEELS incredible, I am not week, lethargic, sad, or have an aching back day after day. I Feel Healthy, Happy and Full of LIFE.
So what is the Point of this very long post??? I lave learned "If you work harder on Yourself than you do on your Business, YOU can make a Fortune" (Jim Rohn) Not just a Fortune of Money, but in life, in friendships, in joy!!!
*I have become much closer and more relevant on my God, for the things I need or which paths to choose, He is at the helm of my Ship and I plan to keep it that way.
This Beautifully snowy CHRISTmas Eve, I want to say Merry Christmas to you and yours. and if you find you are in the same situation as I found myself last Christmas, Let's talk, Beachbody may have something to offer you, and change your World around like it has for me.

What You Don't See Is KEY!!!

On A prayer and Faith I took the Jump and decided to give a program that I had heard a lot of great things about, a GO!!! 
It is a cross between Pilates and Yoga at a bit faster pace than you might usually find in either of these forms of exercise. It Made me sweat, it made me stretch it tightened and toned and helped me to lose inches and weight. 
Honestly I Fell in Love with the program, it was just what my body needed at the time, I was week, in pain, unhappy, my self image was awful. And this program "PiYo" gave me the ability to get all that back.
Did it happen over night, or after just one program??? Heavens NO! But that program began my Journey starting Last December, and continuing on now.
I am still certainly a work in progress, But I am so pleased with how far I have come.
What do these photos show???
Really all they show is that I have toned up my body a bit this past year. What they DON'T show is what is KEY, They don't show:
* That I have learned to feed my family Cleaner Healthier meals, packed with whole food nutrition
* That I have gained much greater self confidence about Me as a Woman, Mom, Wife, Friend, than I have had in Probably my whole LIFE
* How I have made well over 200 hundred new friends, some of those friends are LIFER's "people you know you will be able to count on and be friends 10, 20, 30 years from now"
* That because I chose to take the Leap, the small ripple that I created has effected probably close too 100 (just that I know of) individuals who have chosen to make healthier choices for their bodies.
* That I have been able to bring in a stead and substantial income for my Family for the past 5 months now, and it's steadily growing.
* Who I am, and How I have Learned to LOVE, Support, Encourage those I come in contact with rather than to Tear them Down or Ignore them, Just because they don't fit the MOLD I Created for them in my mind, doesn't mean their is anything wrong with them, it just means we are different, and I have learned to LOVE the differences.
If there is one thing I HOPE that you take away from this POST it is this:
"WE are Incredible beings who have the Strength to do what we Put our Minds too, If we just have a little bit of Support, Accountability, and A LOT of LOVE along our Journey"
There is just Far too Much negative and criticism in our Society today, so many of us "especially moms" feel that we have to FIT into the Mold!!! Well I want to ask Who poured that Dang Mold any way, STOP trying to be some one you are not, or conforming to an impractical society, That will not make you or any one HAPPY!!!

Bold and Better YOU!

I had a series of Small Changes begin occurring last December in my Life, Changes that seemed almost insignificant in my daily routine. Changes that seemed like if I didn't do them daily wouldn't really matter any way. 
Even after 90 days I barely saw a Noticeable difference in my life and the person I was Creating myself to be. But I had read a book, called the "Compound Effect" that told me if I continued to change just a few small habits daily over time the the Results would be Staggering. 
I WANTED that, I was ready for a positive change in my life and to really Be the person I longed to be. Not the person who made excuses for my unhappy, unhealthy self.
Well for those of you that have been friends with me over this past year I am sure that you have noticed things in my life have Improved, am I PERFECT??? NO!!! But I am a lot closer to where I want to be, Because I consciously CHOSE to change.
Today I am offering you that same Chance, Come Join Me, and Create the YOU, that you only imagine, or day dream about. I will HELP you, and Walk Side By Side you along your Journey
-STOP the excuses of why it's to hard, why it wont work for you, or why you are not worth the effort NONE of those are True.
 And it's ALWAYS more doable and enjoyable with a friend to support you along the way.

Somebody PINCH Me!!!

What a SIMPLY Wonderful day this has been. After I  woke up, and completed my morning routine, I hopped online only to FIND that I had reached a new Rank advancement with BB as a coach. 
Honestly I knew it was coming but I was totally surprised because I thought it was happening next week. The Rank advancement that I received means that I have been able to help (at least) 8 (personal) people start their own coach business but 12 all together and I helped one coach do that same thing so that mean that we have been able to Bless 24 peoples lives in some way. 
But for those of you who saw my post earlier their are actually over 60 in our organization. I have been able to Learn how to Create ME to the Person I want to be and now I get to Begin reaching down to others and offering a LIFTING hand, and getting to build them up and teach them of the beauty inside them. The strength that their bodies and minds possessed all along, but working with them to UNLEASH that. 
It's one of thee MOST Incredible Feelings I have been privileged to experience.
Well Today was PayDay just like every other Thursday has been for the past 10 months of my Coaching career. But Today was different than those other days. 
I have now been able to maintain earning over $250 for 6 consecutive weeks, some weeks almost double that, and Today I broke the $6,000 made since I first started. And at the rate my business is building I will be close to reaching $7,500 by the end of December.
I HOPE none of you reading this Feel that I am saying this to Brag or Boast of myself. I certainly couldn't have done this with out my dedicated, strong, determined Team.
I Share this Because I was a HUGE Skeptic before I began, and My Life, Body, and Friendships have forever Changed because of this company and Career Choice I made last year.
I don't have a CLUE if this company might be a good fit for you, But the only way to find out, is to ask questions and learn more about it. I would be happy to answer any question you might have "No Strings Attached"

Beachbody does not Guarantee any amount of Success, each coaches earnings are based sole on their efforts, and vary greatly.

WHY Start with your WHY???

This was THEE Best personal development book I have Read YET!!!!  It spoke to the inner fibers of my being and strongly reiterated to me that, we are not in this LIFE to Compete, WE are in this Life to Improve each and every day. 
Working to better ourselves we will have people cheering us on and supporting us, but when we are competing against others, NO ONE wants to help or support us.
If you Take the time to Know your WHY in life, you can accomplish Unimaginable things for you and the world around you. 
I highly encourage you to read or listen to the audio of the book
Start With Why - by Simon Sinek 

Click Here to see a short video on my feelings about this Book.

Your Life Is A BEAUTIFUL Mess!!!

Some days don't you just feel like your Life is Just a Mess (Crazy, Chaotic Disaster)??? There are many days I feel this way while:
* Raising 3 Children
* Running an at home business
* Homeschooling my kids
* Keeping up on Household chores
* Being a Wife
* Trying to Love, Serve and Assist Others
* Church responsibilities
* Grocery Shopping
* Daily exercise
* "ME" Time
* and the list goes on......
BUT, I know that although there are days it seems Chaotic, Overwhelming, TOO Much, and I just want to put my face in a pillow and Scream. I have a WHY, Why I am doing what I do day in and day out.
I Remember WHY I am:
* Introducing others to a Healthier way of Living
* Snuggling and making Memories with my kiddos
* Leading the Hymns for the Congregation at Church
* Showing an example of what it's like to Be healthy and Why it's important
* Having dinner on the Table for my hard working hubby when he comes home from work
* Enjoying Living in a Clean Home

* Strengthening my physical body and working to make it Look Good.
All of these things MATTER, so I keep doing them day after day Because I Know that SOON my kids will be grown and leaving the house, and due to my health choices Now I will be able to enjoy the empty nester years with my hubby traveling, playing with the grand kids, and being ACTIVE!!!! I am CREATING the Life I want to live, the life I only hoped and dreamed of before.

Have you Figured out your WHY??? The Reason you do what you do, the reason you work, and push yourself to be better, the reason you wake up each day??? If you haven't Figure out your WHY, Life is much more difficult to live. Figure it out, What do you want to CREATE for yourself, and family??? Is what you are currently doing going to get you there??? IF the answer is NO, I suggest you change what you are doing, make a plan and create weekly, monthly and yearly GOALS to get you there.

WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO NOW FOR YOUR HEALTH, FAMILY, CAREER and LIFE OVERALL, MAKES

ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR FUTURE.

NO MATTER THE SIZE OF THE SACRIFICES

YOU MUST MAKE, IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!!!

Be a Part of the Movement: TO LOVE OTHERS!

     I have learned the importance of  including Personal Development daily in my life. It has taught me to be a better person, more open, loving and understanding of others, more knowledgeable on how to run a business and how to form positive habits in life, just to name a few things. 

    Well today while I was listening to my PD book by Simon Sinek "Start With Why" I had several thoughts begin to swirl around in my mind and I tried to formulate them into words and express to you what I feel and am so passionate about and why. 

So I made a video for you to watch, but I also wanted to write it out, for those of you that would like to read it along with watching what I have to say. I hope this touches and benefits you in some way.

    "It's my role (in my position as a Coach) to Inspire, Love, Friend, Invite, Cultivate the Culture, and Encourage you. But it is your Responsibility to BELIEVE, and that will be what causes the REAL Change. That is what will keep  Team "Empowered Minds" growing and reaching so many individuals. 

    I Personally can not change 1000+ peoples lives, But together as a Team we can reach people and help them with their health, physical bodies, minds, emotions, financial situations, wills, desires, or family life, We can help them reach their Goals!

     When I began with Beachbody it was all about "What's in it for ME" But I quickly learned that there is so much more to this company than fitness or even ones health. It is (through it's Coaches) Creating a MOVEMENT by teaching us to LOVE ourselves Completely and then GO OUT and LOVE Others. Teaching and showing through our examples that our customers, and fellow coaches are Valuable, Beautiful, Lovable Humans. 

    With so MUCH Turmoil and Negative Criticism in the world today I am honored to be a part of something bigger than I can accomplish on my own. I am a part of The MOVEMENT to LOVE, Appreciate, Respect, and Encourage individuals daily."

     If you Want to be a part of this Movement with me, let me know, message me, leave a comment, find me on Facebook, I would love to Work with you and Help you feel Empowered and able to go out and LOVE others

    Together we can cause Greatness in our chaotic world as we LOVE and Serve others daily.

UNSTOPPABLE WOMAN!!!

I believe that when a Woman takes the time in her day to care for her mind, spirit, and body she will be a much stronger, more capable, woman. 
She will learn to love herself more, she will learn to love others better, and develop Charity for our family, friends, community, church, etc... 
When we as women FEEL Strong and in Control of our own being, we feel UNSTOPPABLE!!! We no longer need to feel self absorb, "why me", "life is unfair", "if only I could get a min to myself", etc...
I encourage you to make that a priority in your life, find/ make the time, whether it takes you 30 mins a day or an hour an a half (that will depend on each individual woman) FEED your Mind, Spirit, and Body with the things it needs to function at a better capacity then it can when your tank is on empty day after day.
And I truly BELIEVE when Women Begin to do this our world will be a much better place, we will be KINDER in our Homes, more Loving towards our spouses, Caring towards our Friends, and Willing and Able to Serve those around us.

PLUNGE Into the Holiday Season

     If you are anything like me the HOLIDAY SEASON is a very busy time of year. With school concerts, cookie exchanges, church parties, gift exchanges and family activities all vying for a piece of  your time, it makes you feel like you can't have time for yourself to stay active, and working on your own health Goals. 
     Don't let that happen this Holiday Season, Take 10 mins a day to devote to exercising your body and taking steps toward your health goals. I have found when I do this, It makes me a happier, kinder, more energetic person. I find I am able to accomplish more than before even though I am adding in more to my day. 
     WHY??? Because daily exercise releases endorphin's and helps us release pent up anger or aggression that we can let out through exercise rather than at our S-I-L over thanksgiving dinner. Lol
     Join me beginning November 16th for a Prep day to get you prepared to PL-UNGE into the Holiday Season, and then starting the 17th we will do 5 days of various PLanks and luNGES to work our core, back, obliques, thighs and buns OFF. 
     We will play a couple games, and be awarded prizes as well as a final winner from a drawing of participating daily check ins.
     Message me, leave a comment or visit me on my FB page to reserve your spot now. 18 out of 20 are already spoken for in just the last 3 days, they fill up fast, don't miss out.
     Feel Free to share this blog post with friends on your FB page, so they can join us too. Each person who invites 5 friends (with your friends permission) will get a prize.

Vision, Beliefs, & Passion, do you share mine?

     After listening to my personal development book "Start With Why" a couple of nights ago, I have had several thoughts swirling around in my mind that I want to get out and I hope that I can get them out in a way that makes sense and speaks to you, so here goes.
     I am looking for people to join my TEAM who believe what I believe, have a passion for what I have a passion for, and have a similar vision to that of my vision. Well I realized while I was listening to my book How can I attract like-minded people who have my Vision, Beliefs, or Passion If they do not KNOW  what's going on in my head. So my hope through this post is to convey those things to you. This is going to be a Real, Raw, Get into my head post. I hope by the end you don't feel spit out on the other side wondering what the heck you just read. Lol
     So hear goes, I am going to start with My Vision (since I listed that one first), I have a vision that is huge so I will try to break it down to not overwhelm you all. Since I can remember I have wanted to be RICH, Now that might sound greedy and selfish, but hear me out. I remember as a kid wanting to have enough money to buy people that I saw on the street corner new clothes, or groceries or a place to live. I remember thinking some day I am going to be rich a millionaire and give every poor person $100, while that may sound juvenile, My heart has always yearned to serve and help others.
    Well because of that I still have a desire to do good with the money that I earn, things have just shifted slightly as I realize I can not help every poor person in the world, or even in my own city. But I can help family and friends and I can teach others how to help themselves. So that is what I plan to do. I plan to work hard, and rather than just GIVE you a fish I want to teach you HOW to fish. I have come to realize that this (seemingly little) Online Coaching business has the potential to give me the opportunity to fulfill some of those aspirations. So I have a vision of becoming a 6 figure earning with in the first 2 years of building this business. I want to be able to buy a home with enough property and a mother-in-law suite that my in laws (who are aging) can live near us and we can help care for them, with out it becoming a burden on us or any of their other children. 
     Beliefs, what are mine? I believe that when you have found something that works for you, not to keep your mouth shut about it, But to SHOUT it from the roof tops, because chances are, others are praying and searching for an answer too, and what you found just might be it. I believe that when you are led to something in your life that is GOOD that 99% of the time it's because GOD want's it to be a part of your life in some way. So take the time to research it, get to know as much as you can about it and decide if it will be a good fit for you in your life. Will it help you reach your goals and desires? 
I also believe that when you have a NO fail system in place with a safety net beneath in case you fall, then WHY NOT GO FOR IT? I have worked diligently to become the type of leader that my Team knows they can come to me, that if they do fall off (their tight rope, so to speak) that I will be there to catch them, and help them get back on their feet. I will not be there to condemn them or criticize their reason for falling, each fall is only a FAIL if they do not learn from it and get back up and keep going.
     Lastly I believe that if you believe in some one (even if they can't believe in themselves right now) and LOVE them, have compassion for them, support them, put your trust in them, they WILL succeed every time.
     Passion: Every person in the world is Passionate about something, it just may not be the same thing you or I are passionate about. Now I KNOW that Online Coaching isn't right for every one, I know that not every one is as passionate about it as I am. Just like French are different from Americans, that doesn't mean that either of us and our traditions are wrong, NOPE just means we are different from one another. 
    What exactly am I passionate about and why? I have come to learn that no one can be the best servant we can be if we do not care for our own physical, mental and emotional needs before we care for others. So many moms and dads put their children or spouses before themselves. I grew up thinking this is how it was supposed to be, Wake up and SERVE and HELP every one else all day long until you crash into your bed at night and then start over. It took me 32 years to learn that is NOT how God intended for us to live.
     Well now that I have found the answer (it was kinda always there I just didn't notice it) I want to share (point it out) to every one. I learned that just like in a flights safety instructions the flight attended tell us to put on our oxygen masks before we help others put theirs on, LIFE is the same way. We can NOT help others if we are gasping for oxygen and running out of steam day after day. 
     So how can we fix this? And make sure we are putting our Oxygen mask on every morning? 
      *We can take care of our bodies by eating clean (balanced nutritious meals) and fueling our bodies with energy and providing the vitamins, minerals and building blocks they need to heal and repair themselves each and every day. 
     *We can give them the exercise they need to stretch and strengthen and become physically fit to endure the daily burdens required of them, 
     *We need to fill our minds with goodness by reading personal development books and our scriptures daily. We need to Pray and include God in our day, this enables us to be able to endure the mental and emotional things that dump on us.     
    *And (sounds so simple but) we need to keep our bodies Hydrated, more than 60% of our bodies are made up of water and when we become dehydrated our bodies begin to stop functioning the way God intended them to function. 
     These are all simple steps, all together (other than eating clean through out the day and staying hydrated) you can accomplish them all in an hours worth of time. 1 Hour dedicated to you, helping you to learn to LOVE yourself, will give you 15 hours still in the day to be the MOM, WIFE, FRIEND (or any other title you may hold) you want to be. You will be physically, emotionally, and mentally able to serve and handle the things that come your way, and come out ON TOP!!!

I Made $334.44 in One Week as a Stay At Home Mom!!!

I am a stay at home mom, who schools her kids at home, and works 100% from my home office, doing what I love and making a decent weekly income from doing so. WHY am I sharing this with you? WHAT do you need to know what my last weeks income was? 
For some of you that may even make you uncomfortable to talk money with friends. YOU KNOW WHAT IT USED TO BE FOR ME TOO! 
But I know that some of you reading this are NUMBERS People and like to see actual facts and figures and not just read fluff, so for those of you who aren't numbers people and this makes you squirm a bit to read, feel free to stop reading, and check back on one of my other posts that may speak to you more.
I too am a NUMBERS person, I like to know the Why, What and How, of anything before I even consider it as a possibility. Back in July of last year, I began noticing one of my friends making posts about online coaching, I watched behind the scenes not letting on that it intrigued me. Then in late August she actually sent me a message asking if I might like to join her in one of her online groups and work on any health goals I was currently working on, on my own. I politely declined letting her know that I could do it on my own and I didn't have any money to invest in a health program NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT WAS, which was actually 100% True. 
I continued to watch her $$Numbers$$ Grow and her Waist Shrink, and in September she made a post about being able to Pay for a Trip to Disney for a week totally paid for in cash with her online Coaching business. Well that was that, my mind was made up. I had to know more and figure out just how and what and why she was doing what she was doing. So her and I chatted on and off for a few months until I felt I had all my questions answered and I had saved up the money that I was now ready to invest in my health.
On November 28th 2015 I messaged her and said "I am ready to get started where do I go to do it?" and she helped me get set up that night. For 3 months I learned (read personal development books on how to be a leader that people wanted to follow, time management, and how to better assist my customers and LOVE them) and experienced just what it was to use the programs and shakes and reaped results that I was thrilled with.
So in February I decided I had my proof and because I had just created my own story and walking advertisement in myself it was now time to pay what she (my friend) had offered me FORWARD and assist others at getting started on their own personal transformation journey.
Now fast-forward 9 months, there have been HIGHS and LOWS, ups and downs, but you know what, without experiencing the mighty Bitter of the lows, I wouldn't be able to completely appreciate the oh so Sweet experiences the HIGHS bring. So I am thankful for it all. 
Online coaching is not for every one, I fully understand that, but it was for me, and many others so I want to offer it to YOU. If you have been feeling intrigued, find your mind wanting to know more, following my posts (secretly with out letting on for fear I may PUSH you into it) Guess what it may be time you ASK the questions you have been wanting answered, and possibly even taking that Leap and experiencing it for yourself. You can't fully know if it's for you if you don't experience it first hand.
So if this post resonated at all with you, talk to me, and I promise I won't push you, I will answer your questions and most likely ask you a few, but I will not twist your arm to be a part of my Team. 
There is never a perfect time, if we keep waiting for the perfect time, life will pass us by and before we know it the opportunity will no longer be there.

Today was a good DAY!

Today felt wonderful. I wasn't able to get my work out in yesterday and it turned out to be a tough day. I know I need to dedicate some time to me and my health each day, so that I can be the best version of me possible. 
This program literally makes me giddy to do, each and every time I do it. Plus I can really see my sides and tummy being chiseled away.

I used to think exercise was a necessary evil, and something that I could never learn to love. But now that I have found a form of daily exercise I enjoy it really has become something I look forward to every day.

Each day that I get my "ME" time in and take time to read and study my scriptures, listen to my personal development book, and get my work out in, I feel so much more in the GAME!!! 

I feel prepared to serve others, in or out of my home, because I have nourished myself and can be strong for others.
Just like in an air-plain flight instruction they tell you to put on your oxygen mask before assisting others, when our tank is low or on empty we must fill it so we can be GOD's hands and not be the one needing the oxygen put on us. 

She Wanted Change MORE than she cared about the Discomfort it MIGHT Cause.

     My September Accountability Group "Ignite the Fire With In" ended a couple weeks ago. I was waiting to get every ones report's and numbers in before I shared this post with you.

     As each day goes by (it's now been 9 full months of Online Fitness Coaching) I become more in Love with the Career I have chosen. It's unbelievably rewarding, to have these individuals who start out as customers just 30 days before, become my friends after only 30 days. It's exhilarating to have them share with me their final results of how well they did at working towards their health goals. The stories they share with me, of  "I have increased energy, even though I am adding 30 mins of exercise to my already very busy day, this is wonderful" or "I just feel good, and I don't crave the soda, or sugar like I was when we started. Thank You for introducing me to this"

     I am completely satisfied and blessed in my life to know that I was able to help just one, but I get the privileged of helping several daily. Helping them begin and follow through with a health journey, and a few of them love what they experienced enough they decide to Join me and become an Online Health Coach to offer to others a transformation similar to their own. 

     So I may talk a lot when you are with me in person, but when it comes to Blogging I try to keep them short, sweet and to the point. So with out further adieu, the reason for this post is to Bragg about these 5 women who just completed our Accountability Group and were willing to let me share with you their fabulous results. 

These are real women, that I know personally, they are not made up or just images that I took from online. They each have a name and I consider them my friends.

The Little Black Dress!!!

      I am an online Health and Fitness coach, Why? 
     Because not only did I see success in how well my body was able to become stronger and lose weight, but I was able to strengthen my mind, make new friends, love myself more, and feel empowered to become a better person. So now I want to Turn around an serve you, I want you to be able to feel the way I am, I want you to feel Joy and strength in your life, and I want you to love yourself from Top to Bottom!!!
     Beachbody offers that, through participating in accountability groups with other like minded individuals who are each striving to become better both body, mind, and spirit. So I say "Come, participate with us for 30 days, give it all you've got and and see where you are at by the end" If you don't see any difference then nothings changed and your still where you were 30 days ago, BUT if you do see a change (in your health, in your body strength, in your mind, in your capacity to love yourself just a little bit more) THEN it will have been a great 30 day investment. 
     Have you wanted to fit into that Little Black Dress each year on New Years Eve but seem to keep packing on the weight year after year. This year make that change, Join me in an Online accountability group, get the support you need to start and keep going. We have fun, we love, we encourage, we share, and we grow to be better than when we started.

I am partnering up with my dear friend Alisha to offer you a

21 DAY FIX EXTREME CHALLENGE PACK

21 DAY FIX CHALLENGE PACK

I found the answer to Life's Question!!! Well at least my answer.

     Why should you take 5 mins of your day to read my blog post??? Know what, you shouldn't!
     Don't waste your time reading this post unless this description below fits you or some one you love. If it does, then I encourage you to Read On, because this simple little post may be the straw that changes things and sets into motion a change for you.
     If it doesn't then spend the next 5 minutes loving on your child, or spending time with a friend or educating yourself in some other way.
     Does this describe you or some one you know in any way?
*Feel tired, or exhausted or in a state of zombie (where all though you are doing things, you are just going through the motions because you are too tired to actually have the energy to put yourself into the task) for more than an hour a day???
* Feel icky, sick, bloated, or irregular more than 1 day a week?
* Not confidant and happy with who is reflecting back at you when you look in the mirror? 
* Pain in your joints, back, neck or other areas of the body on a regular basis or on again off again basis longer than a couple months?
* Not sure how to eat healthful balanced nutritious meals and not sure where to start or go to to learn how, because so many articles out there contradict each other?
* You can't imaging adding exercise to your daily routine, because you are so tired and drained from the daily tasks required of you already?
* Not sure what is most time effective when you go to your local gym or which at home program or work out is going to give you results as so many out there tout that they are the best?
* Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired 50% of the time or more?


If you thought "YES" to two or more of these about your self or someone in your circle of influence then please read on, and I hope this will be of some benefit to you.

What makes you get out of bed each morning?

What is keeping you going day after day after day?

Essentially WHAT is it that you are LIVING for?

     In fall of 2014 I found my self in a bit of a pity party, Oh sure I thought there were moments, hours, even days that I was happy. But KNOW what??? Over all there were more unhappy, miserable, lonely, sad days than there were happy days.
      I told myself I was getting out of bed each morning due to obligation as a mom, wife, friend, or just plain That's What You Do!
     I kept going day after day, because I thought there has to be something better out there maybe just around the corner and so each day, I kept searching, praying and living my life, In Hopes to FIND something WORTH LIVING FOR!!!!!
     I knew that God put me on this Earth for a reason (or well many reasons possibly complied into one big picture) well at least I knew the scripture answers for it. He wants us to be happy and learn right from wrong and return to him.
     I guess I was kinda to the point last fall that I figured I guess if I press on to the end, then in Heaven I will be happy and have True Joy!
     Yet it still kept gnawing at me that there was more to it, and I was missing something, I just had NO CLUE where to find the answer, cause quite frankly I didn't know what the answer was, which makes it rather difficult to find something when you don't know what you are looking for.
     Well over this past year I feel like I finally figured it out, I found the ANSWER!!! Now that doesn't mean I have it completely figured out or that I am perfect at it yet, But what I found was that In order to be Happy, with others, for others, or when you are around others, YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY LOVE YOU, EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT YOU!!!!!
     Well now you may be thinking, okay great well how the heck do I do that? There isn't much I like about myself at all! And Know what I was there I felt that too, there was no way I could just convince myself to love things about me that I had hated about me for years. And this was true, I didn't come to find this answer by some one simply telling me you gotta love yourself, or reading about it in some blog post. (I swore I would never even have a blog, because no one wanted to read about what I had to say, it was far to dismal and depressing)
     So how on earth did I figure this all out and get to where I am today only 1 year later???
     Well I had a friend invite me to join with her in an accountability group on Facebook. I had no idea what that meant, all I knew was that she had recently been posting photos of her weight loss journey and inviting people to join her. So she shared with me a bit about what it entailed and (remember I was in my own little pity party, but didn't know it, I thought I was fine) I told her I was already working out on my own and didn't have the money or feel I needed to spend money on exercising. But deep down, I wanted too, I wanted to learn more, I wanted results like I was watching her have, I wanted the friendships that she was referring to in her FB posts. But I putt it off for 4 more months.
     In November of 2014 on the 28th just 6 days after my 33rd birthday I decided that I didn't want to hurt any more, physically or emotionally, that by my 34th birthday I wanted to to feel good, look good, and be much happier than I was. What could it hurt, I could give one of her 4 week accountability groups a try and if nothing changed well then, at least I tried. So, I bought myself a Challenge Pack (because my friend told me that was they best bang for my buck and it would offer me the tools I needed to begin on my own personal health journey) and along with that purchase came my COACH!!!
     So what made this Beachbody program that I ordered and this Shakeology so life changing??? Well they are phenomenal products, but if I had bought them and simply tried to figure it out on my own I would have most likely failed and not had the Life Changing results I am sharing with you today. The Game Changer in this was that I know had some one dedicated to me succeeding, some one who I could feel, cared about me, and my goals, a personal Cheerleader so to speak, every step of the way, that was my Coach.
     Well as my body and health began to transform, I began to realize I had to be getting out of bed in the morning for ME!!! I needed to keep going day after day for ME, no one else was as important as ME. (now you may think wow, that sounds so selfish, how could she be a mom and feel that she is more important than her children) So here is why, If I could not love my self, how in the world could I love any one else, how could I give of my self completely when in the back of my mind I was thinking "I am always the last one to the dinner table and rarely get thanks for the meals I make" or "I just want to go to bed but I know that I should spend some time with my child and read them a book, so lets hurry it up and read it"
     I was not able to fully love them, serve them, or care for them. And like I mentioned I am still not 100% there. But I am leaps and bounds a head of where I was. Because now, I look in the mirror and see a woman filled with EMPOWERMENT, Strength, Love, Joy, A Heart that actually yearns to serve others, I have fun with my children and enjoying assisting others to begin their journey of Creating Themselves into what they desire.
     So how in the world did a simple work out program and bag of Shakeology do all this for me:
* It started me down the path I am on, as a health and fitness coach with Beachbody, earning a significant income that we can put towards our debt.
* It introduced me to a family (network of other coaches and customers) of other like minded individuals all joining together along the same journey 
* It taught me that when my body feels and functions properly,that boosts my love of my self
* I found that when I see my self in a family photo and don't nit pick every thing about my body, because it actually looks good, I am happy
* I found that genuine support, friendship and encouragement in society today are hard to come by, and boy am I grateful I found them
* I found that I Truly Love to serve others and honestly it brings me so much Joy when I am no longer expecting anything in return or begrudgingly doing it because I felt, I should be the one being served.
* I found that when I exercise 6 days a week I am able to get out any frustrations that may be in my mind and feel energized from the release of endorphin making me ready to take on the day
* And I found that I am so excited to get out of bed (most mornings, I say most because when the toddler is up half the night, I am still a bit exhausted when 6:45 rolls around) each day to see what I can accomplish, who I can be God's hands for, and how I can better myself or be an example to those around me.
     So now I want to say STOP making excuses, STOP the pity party for yourself (they are lonely and rarely any one comes to join you) NOW is as good of time as any to ACT, there will never be a perfect time in your life. You have to just decide and DO IT!!!
     Reach out to me and let me know you are ready or even if you simple have questions to see if this is right for you now in your life. I am here to serve you, I love to serve you, and I hope that this helped you in some way and wasn't a waste of your 5 mins of time reading it.
