WHO is Watching YOU???

We ALWAYS have people Watching us. 
Sometimes it's our children 
or maybe a Neighbor 
Sister 
Mother 
Church acquaintance 
or fellow Soccer Mom. 
Possibly people we may not even be aware are in our lives, BUT they are watching!
Watching to see how we act in our lives:
How we Parent, Eat, Shop
The Cars we drive, Homes we buy/rent, Clothes we wear
How we interact with friends, strangers and our family, or
How we CARE for ourselves. 

Remember YOU can be a HUGE Positive influence on those people who are a part of your circle of influence when you PUT Yourself and your Health first. Because they are Watching YOU, watching to see if what you try Works, watching to see if you will Stick with it, watching to see how Difficult it is for you, they are constantly Observing. 

There are literally THOUSANDS of Women out there TRYING to FIND Happiness in all the wrong places. 

Sadly I used to be one of them. I would Color or Cut my hair, simply so I would FEEL better about myself. But that would only last a few weeks, before the compliments from having a new cut or color wore off. I would try Crash diets to rapidly drop weight so I could fit into a Sleek new dress that would make me look GOOD and Feel Beautiful. But again it was a fleeting feeling. I would serve others simply so I could have friends who appreciated me and would shower me with compliments. 

WHY???

Because I didn't LOVE myself (oh I thought I did) I wanted to and I even fooled myself into thinking what I was doing was because I loved myself. 
BUT in all honesty it was because I was Fishing for attention, which in my mind = Love!!!

Eventually I was introduced to How to really FOCUS on ME, through utilizing the proper tools, and having the friendship and support I so desperately yearned for, from my Coach and the other participants in the Support groups I started participating in.

When I began at first I was NOT doing this because others were watching. NOPE I didn't really want anyone to KNOW right away, because "What if I failed?" What if it didn't work?" What if I didn't have the Will Power to Stick with it?"

But little did I know a WHOLE lot of people were watching me, observing if it would work and how I would stick with it or not. My children, my siblings, my husband, my parents, several friends, and many who were barely acquaintances who have now become friends. 

They Observed as I Made myself and my health a Top priority in my day, and then little by little they wanted to experience what I had, so I Decided to Coach and the rest is History, it's been 23 months and I wouldn't change it for the WORLD!

I have learned when we STOP Searching for LOVE or to somehow FIND ourselves and We Simply Focus on getting Healthy and Fit, we FIND True Love of Ourselves and then we CAN feel the LOVE from others much more. 

We begin to Believe them when they say they Love us or care about us, when they compliment us on how we look or act, because WE realize just how AWESOME we actually are. When we feel healthy, and have energy and commitment to ourselves we Find what we were always searching FOR in the Mirror in our own Bathroom. 

IF you do have children watching, teach them how important They are by putting yourself first your health/fitness should be a very top priority. Because if you don't feel GOOD, you can't Serve others very well and if your tank isn't filled you can give anything to others. 

If they see you doing this they will GROW up to LOVE themselves and not suffer as many of us have with low self esteem or self confidence. 

GO and make today beautiful!!!

Coach Test Group Day 7!

SUNDAY is My favorite day of the week for many reasons, one of them Being it's my REST day from the daily tasks, workouts, and other menial things that occupy my time daily. It's my day to snuggle with my children, attend church, and worship. NOT workout. 
BUT this CORE DeForce has other plans for me. At first I was NOT to thrilled about this, but after following the meal plan still all day and feeling GREAT from that, I Finally decided to PUSH PLAY and get my workout it. 
Oh My Goodness I was so pleasantly surprised, it Felt wonderful, and JUST what my body needed tonight after an EXTREMELY Intense week of daily workouts. 
It was a 20 minute active Recover workout, so we simply SLOWED things WAY down and practiced technique for 10 minutes, then stretched for 10 minutes. 
Um, YES PLEASE!!!!! It felt so so so relaxing and invigorating. 

So here is a little about my day in Photos and videos, I hope you enjoy! 

A few of the Moves Along with a Picture of RECOVER shake, which I never Complete a workout without drinking. It's what helps my muscles heal faster, feel way less sore, and be able to PUSH myself as hard as I am. 

 Sunday after Church Snack home canned salsa and my favorite Tostitos Multi-grain scoops. 

 Lunch, since church is so early in the am I Always just grab a Shakeology before heading out the door to church. So when we got home we had Breakfast for Dinner. Kodiak cakes with shredded zucchini and topped with a cup of home canned strawberry applesauce. A side of hard boiled eggs and 1 cup of Orange Juice. 

Dinner was Scrumptious and Refreshing 1 piece of whole grain toast with home canned apple butter, 1 cup of carrots and Brussels sprouts, a filet of tilapia topped with salsa, and 1 cup of fruit salad mixed with cottage cheese.  

I Never Complete a workout with out Drinking this Bad BOY right after. oh and did I mention how Creamy and Chocolaty it tastes???

Coach Test Group Day 5!

Day 5, WOW I so did not want to Push Play and workout today. 

I was sore, tired (even though I had slept 8 hours, the two previous nights I had only had 5.5) my body was trying to catch up on sleep. 

Since I was avoiding it, I folded 3 loads of laundry & listened to my Personal Development book.

I loved a phrase in the book and it MADE me want to get up and push play and stop slacking. It said "The six Characteristic of the Mast of the lamp (referring to Aladin's lamp) is - They Learn From Their Experience. They KNOW that they don't get everything right the first time including what they want they simply learn from their experience & apply it to the next time.  

Well I have LEARNED from Experience that When I put off working out many times things come up in my day that I wasn't expecting and then I do not get the time to get a workout in later. 
BUT I am part of a Coach Test Group so my WORKOUTS each day are NOT Negotiable. 

I got up, put the laundry a way that I had folded, Put on my active wear and PUSHED PLAY!!!

Today's workout was Muai Thai inspired so lot's of elbows, punches and snap kicks. It was a welcome break from the difficult workouts the rest of the week. NOW I am not saying it was easy, but it was Fast, Fun, and Fulfilling. Makes me Proud of how far I have come since I started 2 years ago.  

Check out the video to see a few minutes of the "MMA SHRED" workout from CORE DeForce.
 
 Breakfast was DeLish and Filling, Great after workout meal. Banana (Purple container) ww toast with PB (yellow container and 1 tsp nut butter) and 2 hard boiled eggs (1 red container) 

I love the simplicity of following the 21 Day Fix Meal Plan/Portion control (adapted to fit this Program) RATHER than Counting calories daily. If it fits in the container (from the recommended list of foods) YOU eat it. WE eat Real Food that we purchase. NOT some Pre Packed expensive Meals that taste nasty.

A little Before and After "Flex Friday" Style. These pics were taken a year a part. I can certainly see more definition in today's picture.














Dinner tonight was So Yummy tonight and I loved having a fresh bouquet of flowers on the table to smell and see. Although I couldn't see over them to see my Handsome Hubby. haha
We had cabbage, cauliflower, mixed veggies, brown Jasmine rice, black beans, and eggs. Healthy Fried Rice!!!
With side of cottage cheese and cantaloupe.

Overall my DAY was productive, Fulfilling and Tasty.

Coach Test Group Day 2!

Started the day out Really eager to jump into my Workout! I had heard it was really tough and I wanted to see how Strong I was. 
The Workout today was 12 - 3minute rounds. Each exercise lasted 1 minute. with a 30 second break between rounds. The Whole workout was 47 minutes. I did great at keeping up and hardly even sweating until round 7, and MAN oh MAN things got tough from there. 
After I completed it with lots of modifications (push-ups on my knees) I Felt SO AMAZING, MY Body just did THAT!!!! BooYah Baby!

Here are a few pics and videos to show how my Day went, Enjoy!

So many different kinds of push-ups

Breakfast, French toast on WW bread topped with home canned blueberry 

applesauce and a Greek yogurt, Yum

My little buddy went with me to VOTE today!!!

Lunch was Scrumptious. 3 green container, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 orange

Today's weather was Glories for November 8th, Sunshine and Blue Skies

After School Shakeology snack with the kiddos, Chocolate, Vanilla Shakeology with Frozen banana, and peanut butter. Mmmm Mm Good!

I rarely get super sore after a Hard workout any more thanks to the Recover drink I follow up each workout with. Beachbody's Performance line of Products is Top of the Line and Works.

Coach Test Group Day 1

I was selected to participate in a Coach Test group for Beachbody's newest fitness program Core DeForce. 
I am Excited, yet Scared at the same time. Excited for the possibilities of Creating new healthier habits, and really defining my muscles, and Feeling GREAT! Scared because of how my back might react if I move wrong or push too hard, due to my SCOLIOSIS!

So I am going to do my best to take it easy, yet push myself a little more than I have in the past. I especially plan to Hone in on my eating and menu planning. I know from previous experience that is when you begin to see the weight fall off or the muscles tone up. When my body is getting the proper Fuel through the nutritional balance of foods I am feeding it. 

Well Day one is in the Books and I am happy to Report so Far so good, I feel wonderful, slightly tired at 10:21 pm, but Great otherwise. 

I will be documenting my workouts as well as my food, and how I feel at the beginning of the day and at the end of each day. I would be honored if you chose to follow along my Journey, and I would LOVE some support, encouragement and Cheering along the way. 

This will be how each day begins in our Test group Sharing 3 things we are grateful for and our Fitness/health goal for the day and 1 thing we appreciate about our Bodies. 

Day 1 Breakfast 

Day 1 Choco/vanilla Shakeology with 1/2 frozen banana, and pb
