Sometimes You Have to CLIMB a Mountain to Get to the Top!

Just 14 Months Ago I Was UNHAPPY In My Life, In My Skin, As A Wife, As A Mother, Even As A Friend. I Was Battling Bouts Of Depression, And Bad Anxiety, I HATED Being Poor All The Time, And Not Having Enough To Make Ends Meet. I Felt Like "WHY ME" About My Life.
I Was Doing Things On The Side To Try And Make Extra Money, But That Added Extra Stress, Extra Anxiety Which Led To Worse Depression. I Really Disliked How Much Weight I Had Gained. 
I Remember Going To See My Brother And Sister- In- Law Less Than 1 Week After Having A Baby And I Was MUCH Bigger Than She Was. This Was After Me Participating In Facebook Health Challenges That My Sister Was Hosting, And Feeling Like I Was Looking GOOD! Well, That My Friends Made Me Even MORE Down On Myself And More Feelings Of Hopelessness.
How Could I EVER Crawl Out Of This Spiraling Downward PIT Of Depression And Despair. 
My Friend Robyn, Who I Had Known For 8+ Years Reached Out To Me With What She Thought May Be A Solution For My Situation. At The Time She Shared It With Me, I Still Was To In My Own World To SEE The Opportunity That Was Before Me. So I Told Her Not Now.
Well As You Can Tell NOW, My Life Is Much Different Than It Was Then. 
I LOVE (Most Of The Time, Being A Mom Just Comes With Trials) My Life, I Am No Longer Living Pay Check To Paycheck And Dependent On The State For My Food. We Have Money In Our Savings Going Towards A Down Payment On A Home And A Family Vacation!!! Our Marriage Is Better, I Am A Much More Understanding And Thoughtful Friend Than I Was, I Feel More Empathy For Others, Because I Have Walked A Long Tough Road In Life. I Feel So Much Healthier And I Look Better Than I Have Ever!I Was In A Size 14 Pants And Now I'm In A 5/6.
Life Is Beautiful And I Want To Help You To Be Able To Feel That Way Too. 
BUT I Am Here To Offer You HOPE!!!
There Is A Solution That Has Worked For Me As Well As Thousands Of Others, And I Would Be Honored To Share It With You.

vISIT MY wEBSITE 

Super Man didn't Introduce himself as Kryptonite Man, did he?!?

So I am listening to an AWESOME book Called "Super You" By Emily Gordon.

At first I felt the book started out kinda slow and not really my thing, But I had it highly recommended to me so I read on.

By chapter 4 I was loving it, She is so Real and makes it fun to talk about Emotions that we usually bottle up and hide or Freak Out over every so often.

She shares how to us Tools we already have in our lives to address the emotions at hand and use them to our Advantage rather than our Failure. 

But today I specifically want to share with you a bit about my take away from Chapter 7 of Emily's book. 

She starts out posing this question "Why do we feel it necessary to include our weaknesses (depression, anxiety, bipolar, ocd, fat, crazy, etc...) in our introduction of our selves to new people we meet for he first time." 

Super Man Never introduced him self by saying "Hi I am Clark Kent and I can not be around Kryptonite or I'll basically die" He didn't refer to himself by his weakness, Kryptonite Man. 

So WHY do we refer to ourselves by saying "I'm Fat" "I'm OCD" "I'm Depressed" It may be a weakness that we have but that does NOT define who you are, by any means.

In our society we feel like leading with our weakness levels the playing field a little, makes us think that others wont feel inferior to us if we put ourselves down, or make ourselves seem weak. 

BUT we Each have unique Quality's that make us Super Heroes in our own way. We may have qualities like:

* Great listener

* Amazing Cook

* Selfless

* Can Sew anything

* Thoughtful 

* Kind Teacher

* Leader

* Intelligent

* Friend

* Wonderful Wife

* Loving Mother

* Supportive Dad

* Hard worker

* Diligent

* The ability to Over Come a weakness that may seem impossible 

* Serving

* Helpful to those you feel are in need

* Non Judgmental

* Great House keeper

And the List could go on for several pages, but you get the idea I am trying to portray. We Need to be proud (in a good way not a Prideful, I'm better than you way) of the Strong qualities we do have and learn to Lead with those.
Just less than 2 years ago, I felt I could "NEVER"

be Fit and toned to where I wanted or dreamed of.
Let alone share a video of me exercising, showing my tummy. I was a mom of 3 and that was that, I just had to accept my body as it was. "I was FAT!"
But I was introduced to a New way of thinking and a program that works Every Single time, for every person that follows the program, and because of this I have the Body I wanted, I Love who I have become, and I am sharing this with you to show you that YOU too can Over come your weakness, you can Create the Life, the Health, the income you WANT! Because we are Strong, and have many strengths to be proud of. 
Share your Strengths as you meet new people, let them know ways you can mutually benefit from a friendship. Many times if we lead with our weakness, we come across as needy, or week, or a downer, and that new person we just met is thinking "How can I run now before this person latches onto me like a leach and I wont be able to get rid of them." 

That is certainly NOT the first impression we want to make with anyone. 

Now I a not saying to try and come across as a Perfect person who is flawless, or some one who is better than those around them. But what I am saying ( and what Emily Gordon suggested) is that those things should be reserved to be talked about with those whom you TRUST and Know will listen and Not hurt you with that knowledge.   

So my Goal from now on is to do my best to stand proud of the things I have accomplished and refer to myself in those way, and Help others to do the same. 

I Sure hope this was an AH HA for you like it was me, and that YOU will go forward as a SUPER YOU!!!

Weekly Paydays? Yes Please!

Thursdays are PAYDAY!!! 

I love that Beachbody pays weekly for the work we do, helping others.

This is by far the best career I could have even come across.
I didn't go looking for it, but I'm glad my dear friend Robyn, had a belief in me, that I could be a Great Coach, and reached out and asked me to consider!!!

Because this "little" coaching business, now brings in enough income monthly to cover all the utilities, car payments, cc payments, groceries, and still put away some in savings each month.

For those of you who like Numbers I've consistently kept my weekly checks over $250 for several months now. And some at almost $400, for just one weeks work.

And I do it all from HOME, with my kids and around my life. 

Wanna know more about how you too could earn income from home, helping yourself and friends be healthy???

Comment below or message me, and we can chat about it.

Beachbody Coaches Needed

I wanted to share with you just a few reasons why I became a Beachbody Coach and why I have Loved it and stuck with it, and Now am inviting you to Join my Team.

First of all why am I sharing this with you my clients/ potential clients?

Well because it's important for you to know that at one point I was a client (of my own coach) just like you with me. I was just starting out and learning to take the steps necessary to better my health. I had been watching my coach build her business and was intrigued but Not sure I could do it or that it even worked. So many other network marketing companies that I had done or seen friends or family do had Failed (although looking back I learned a lot from those experiences and they have helped mold me into who I am currently). So I worried Beachbody coaching might be just like those other experiences.

But I participated in a support group with my coach and continued watching her moves to see how well she would do at Coaching, in a sense I was expecting her to fail. Of course I kept plugging away at my own health each week. 

Well on month 6 of her coaching she was able to take her family of 6 to Disney from Idaho for 5 days fully paid for with her Beachbody Income, and that Floored me, and certainly Got my Attention. I hadn’t seen someone actually be successful enough to pay for a Trip like that with just their work from home income.

So In February of 2015 after being a customer and seeing my own Great Results in my health along my journey I decided I wanted to share this with others and assist them as they got healthy and fit with programs and products that Actually worked, and didn’t cost an arm and a leg to get my hands on.

So I guess you could say when I first became a coach it was only for a couple reasons:

1. To Make money working from home and stay home with my kids (we NEEDED the $)
2. To assist others in getting started with the right tools to actually GET Results from their investment in time and money with Beachbody

Well fast forward a whole year later and my Reasons have changed quite a but actually:

1. Yes I am still bringing in an income working from home, which is a huge blessing for me and my family (I have averaged $1000/month since August 2015)
2. BUT I now stay with the company because I have been able to watch LIVES transform and self confidence boost, and body image change and clients become healthy and be able to accomplish things they never thought possible in this life because their health had been so bad.
3. I stay because I have made friends that are Lifers, Women whom I can trust and know they have my back. Not women who I am worried will stab me in the back. Because we work together to Build one another up, and to assist each other at growing a business. We Never have and Never will Trample our fellow team members to get a head in this business. We are Not a Company like that, the Entire Beachbody mission is to Learn to Live a Healthy Lifestyle and Build each other up, love each other and Not be afraid to stand up for one another. We have enough people in the world Tearing us down every day, we do NOT need it in the workplace too.
4. And Lastly My Healthy has never been better. I love being able to work on myself daily as part of my career. I get to try out new programs and products and see how well they work for me, before sharing them with my potential or current clients. I do not offer products blindly, not knowing the outcome of them. I can offer them with 100% confidence Knowing they work and will bless/ benefit my clients lives.

I want you to Know I LOVE YOU (my clients), each one of you mean a lot to me, and it’s my 100% goal to Get You the Results You Want.

If you have considered coaching, or are now considering Coaching and would like to know more about it. Please ask me questions, I would love to answer them or schedule a time to talk with you about how it might be a great fit for you. There are people out there waiting for YOU to invite them. YOU will connect better with them than any one else could. You have friends just waiting to meet you, so What are you waiting for???

Honestly one of Thee Best decisions in my Life, it could be yours too.

Bill of Rights for - Super YOU

While listening to my audio book yesterday for daily personal development I came across this list in Chapter 4 of "Super You" and really liked it a LOT. 

So many times we feel that we have to explain ourselves to others, when really it's none of their business, however our culture has kind of ingrained in our minds that we need to have a valid excuse for WHY we Can't do something or wont do something. 

We need to Learn to just simply say NO, and Stop trying to be OVERachievers. Key word OVER, Yes it's important to serve others, help out in your kids class room, be the soccer mom for your kids soccer team, if those are things you want to do. BUT don't do them (adding burden on you, your family and those your GRUMPY self comes in contact with) Just to satisfy some one else our out of feeling bad to say NO. 

YES Ladies I understand this is still one I am working on getting better at. BUT it's so important to realize and begin internalizing, we CAN'T do it all and Our health, mentally and physically comes first. SO if it is going to add too much stress, or demand too much time, then simply say NO. (be kind about it)

I also really appreciated the 3rd one mentioned. We have the right to take risks and start new adventures with out being shamed or criticized for it. 

I see this SOOO frequently on social media, some one will announce a plan they have, and a few will tell them congrats or best of luck or GO Get'm, But more often I see things like this "Why are you going to do that" "I had a friend who did that and Failed, good luck" "I don't think you're cut out for something like that" "why did you choose that hairstyle it's a little extreme don't you think" "how could you justify spending that much money on..."

PEOPLE it is NOT our RIGHT to criticize or belittle anyone ever!!! So if you find you are one of the ones who does that, PLEASE STOP IT!

Of course I loved #5. YES we do have the right to self care of our health and physical needs for our bodies, with out being criticized or made fun of for how we choose to do it.  It's tough enough convincing ourselves every day to get up and workout, we do NOT need the added complaints or critical whispering from others to make it Even More difficult to accomplish. If you have a friend or loved one who is devoting time to exercise and their physical health, Please support them and encourage them and praise them for it, it takes a lot of mental power to keep at it day after day. 

There are so many of these that struck a cord with me when I read through them, but I do not have time to go over my feelings on all of them, nor would you want to Read all of that. So I will end with one more that I feel certainly needs to be addressed.

#27 "We have the right to share our stories, to share our triumphs and vent our pain." YES We Do! I read peoples blog posts that criticize people for posting their triumphs on social media because Not every one has those triumphs so it makes people feel sad, depressed, etc.... Well I think Boasting and Sharing are two completely different things. If you are putting others down as your share your accomplishments that's a problem. But if you are simply sharing that you are proud/pleased that you were able to overcome or your child is smart, there is nothing wrong with that, Go For it. There is so much negative in the world every day. I love reading about Positives in my friends lives. We also have the Right to talk about our pain with out (others thinking that's an invitation to pick at us more, or act like our pain isn't valid, or just try to fix us) feeling torn apart by friends or family on social media. OH My Goodness if some one is brave enough to share their pain, that most likely means they need our love, support and Empathy, so please be quick to offer that, not Tear them apart.

Okay, that's all for now. Like I mentioned I feel each one of these are valid and important things to remember, and if they are valid for us, You betcha they are valid for every other Human as well. 

Please read through them, and share which one jumped out to you as most important. and if you feel comfortable sharing WHY I would love to read your response to that as well.

MY Hubby is a Rock Star!

My HOPE in Sharing our personal life in this short post is that it will be able to Help one of you going through a similar situation. 
I am so PROUD of my Husband and his efforts to work on his health and fitness.
When I began with Beachbody My husband was skeptical and didn't really want to have anything to do with it. 
He didn't want to work out, didn't want to drink the shakeology, didn't want to use the after work out products, NOPE it wasn't for him. (So he thought, hehe)
Well he an I had a rocky several months in our marriage in the Fall of 2015. He was acting angry and defensive over the slightest disagreement or question, and I knew that something HAD to change. 
I knew that eating Clean and daily Exercise would help him to feel better about himself and just not feel sick and get headaches all the time (usually daily). And maybe that could help some of our marital issues resolve. 
So I asked (rather forcefully) that he give it (use Shakeology, cut out his junk foods, and exercise daily with a Beachbody program) a try Because I wanted him to feel better and I wanted the kids to have a happy daddy who wanted to play with them after work, not go to bed with a headache or grumpy cause he feels like Crap, day after day!
So the last week of October we ordered Body Beast (a Beachbody weight training Fitness Program) and his own Shakeology and several of the Performance Line Products. Of course I had secret hopes that He would also tone up and build some noticeable Muscle ;)  But that was honestly just an extra perk. I simply Wanted my Husband back, Not a 40 Year old Grumpy pants. Any of you Wives feel like that about your hubby??? Or do y'all have great happy husbands???
Any how he was very reluctant the first several weeks only getting in 2-3 days a week of exercise, but he was starting to feel a bit better so after around week 3-4 he buckled down and started following the work out schedule that comes with Body Beast and worked out 6 days a week, eating much better using the Shakeology nearly daily and incorporating the Performance products into his day as well. 
Well GUESS what, I began seeing and recognizing a difference in how he was acting and rare headaches (like 1 a week, down to every other week) the kids even commented that daddy seems happier! YAY it was working. He started to actually gain weight (he is very thin) and build muscle definition, he constant craving for Crap food slowed WAY down and he got to where he ate the healthy stuff I made with every one else. I wasn't having to NAG or complain at him, He was doing it because HE wanted too. 
Can I say SUCCESS!!!
Here we are March and he is still working out daily. His coworkers tell him that they can tell the mornings he has worked out because he seems Jazzed or Happy to be there. WOW other people are noticing. 
So I decided to share his Before and After photos on my FB business "like" page and the views reached only 42 short of 1000 in 48 hours, WOW! None of my other posts have seen that kind of results, even his body building coworker paid him a nice compliment! That totally boosted his self image and Things have been much improved in our Marriage. 
BEACHBODY can not only help you lose weight or get fit, BEACHBODY can Save a marriage and Family!!!!

If you personally are looking for a way to work on one of the areas I mentioned in this post, Please contact me and lets talk about Options. Sure you can do it on your own, BUT having your own personal coach 100% vested in your Success is a HUGE help.
