As many of you know. I am a stay at home mom to five...so here is part one of, Ten signs you may be a mom.
10. You have NO shame. Not much phases you anymore, & you consider a good time, going to bed at 9:30.
-You thrill seeker you.
9. When you put on your makeup, someone asks "Where are you going?!" or "Is someone coming over?!"
- You apparently no longer look decent, unless there is a reason...nice.
8. You wear yoga pants at all times, except for when showering...and if you could wear them while showering...you would.
- You wear yoga pants, morning, noon, night, and for slumber...you even wear them for nicer occasions, you just dress them up with a cute top. You make your argument by saying it is not laziness...it's versatility.
7. It's noon and you have food on your shirt and pants, and you haven't eaten yet today.
- See...yoga pants...fully functional can even be used as a napkin.
6. You get excited for a night out, but then when it comes time to leave, you complain that you are to exhausted to go anywhere.
-See next sign.
5. On your night out, that you just slammed a redbull, or drank a massive cup of coffee to be able to stay awake for...all you can talk about is your kids...and how ridiculously tired you still are after slamming such an unreasonable amount of caffeine.
- It hasn't been decided yet, if the reason you only talk about your kids, is because that is all you know, if it is because they really are that interesting, or if it's because it is a super easy topic, when all you can do is think about your pillow...mmmm...sleep.
4. Your brain no longer functions, and often feels like it has gone through a hot paper shredder.
- It all starts with pregnancy brain, and then morphs into mommy brain. The fact of the matter is, once you have children, your brain will never fully function again. My theory on this is, your brain gets so used to constant interruptions, that it "thinks" it is no longer allowed to complete anything it starts...such as thoughts and sentences. When it DOES have the opportunity to do so, it gets overwhelmed, and resets. For example...I could solve all of the greatest mysteries in life while I am in the shower, and my brain realizes its potential...but then by the time I have shut off the water, I have already forgotten my middle name. IF THINGS AREN'T WRITTEN DOWN, THEY DIDN'T HAPPEN!
3. Your friends who don't have kids, don't understand why you don't call them.
- Explain to your friends that, you don't call them out of respect. Not only can you no longer form complete sentences, but that you don't think they will appreciate listening to a loud reenactment of an MMA match while they are trying to tell you about their rough day. They need to understand that you don't call them, because you DO love them.
2. You often look high.
- Are you high? No, it's exhaustion...completely different.
1. Your stomach and hips look like you went on a safari, and got attacked by a tiger while you were there.
- No, this isn't just you...it's the majority of moms...and if this sign doesn't apply to you and you're a mom...the rest of us really don't want to talk to you...like...ever.

What is a Challenge Group & Why should I try one?
Saturday, July 12, 2014
What is a Challenge Group?
We Beachbody coaches, create these small groups for individuals that are all trying to accomplish the same goal...getting RESULTS. Within these groups, we are all working TOGETHER, we are all HELPING each other, we are all SUPPORTING one another, we are all keeping each other ACCOUNTABLE, MOTIVATED, and on track. Why? Because it is a proven fact, that working with others, being supportive of them, and being supported in return, will help you stay focused, and reach your goals. You obviously are purchasing a Beachbody program or product...why? Because you want RESULTS...and it is my job as a coach, to do what I can to walk you through the program, and help you finish it.
What happens in a Challenge Group?
All coaches run challenge groups in different ways, but with the same goals in mind...to get you fired up, inspired, to help you take steps in the healthier direction, so you can achieve and maintain your momentum and results. Some groups are short lived running only days, some are for jump starts on your journey, some last for the duration of your 90 day program. We check-in with each other, we swap recipes, we ask and answer questions, we get to know one another, we play some games...basically, we make the process as fun as we can while seeing you through to the end of the group. We run them often, so that once one is finished you can join in another to keep making progress or maintain what you have achieved.
What is a Challenge Pack and do I have to purchase one?
A Challenge Pack is a great way to purchase everything you need, to start on your journey, at a lower cost! They come in different price ranges, different lengths, and different intensity levels. They are also a way to become a coach yourself for free, if that is an avenue you think you would like to pursue! They include:

They are also a way to become a coach yourself for free, if that is an avenue you think you would like to pursue! They include:
- A workout program of YOUR choosing
- A months supply of Shakeology, with the Home Direct program which saves you on shipping if you want to continue using the shakes monthly (if you don't want to continue shakes monthly, you can cancel your HD with no questions asked after you receive your package)
- A free 30 day trail to try Team Beach Club, where you can find even more support and fun extras
- And free Standard Shipping
Usually, no, you do not need to purchase the whole challenge kit to be involved with a challenge group, BUT, it's what we recommend.
Why do we recommend it? Is it to make money off you? NO!
Sure, coaches get a small part of what you purchase, but that is because our services are included with your purchases, you purchase something...anything through Beachbody, you get access to a coach, guaranteed. We coaches put A LOT of time, effort, and LOVE into helping you succeed and get results, however we can, and running and participating in these groups ourselves, is a surefire way we can help. We do this right along with you...and the reason we become coaches isn't just for the money, it's because we love people, we love being motivators, we love helping, and because must of us started off, right where you are...right now.
The reason we encourage challenge packs, is because if you follow the program as a whole, the way it is laid out, there is no reason you shouldn't see results. With the combo of the workout plan, and nutrition plan, including the use of shakes, you will get the fastest results. The faster and better the results, the higher your motivation will be, the higher your motivation, the more likely you are to follow through, as well as continue on with your goals and maintain or improve your success.
There is a definite method to the "madness." We are giving you the tried and true methods, that we have used for millions of people, just...like...you.
If you have any other questions, or want to know about upcoming challenge groups to participate in, or would like me to be your personal fitness mentor, please feel free to contact me!

You Have to Start to Be GREAT!
Tuesday, July 8, 2014
Let me just say...I LOVE seeing "fat" and "out of shape" people, both men and women, out there, busting their butts, now that the warm weather is here! I LOVE seeing them huff and puff, doing their slow jog down the street, peddling their bikes, and looking like they are going to pass out on the side of the road, and it isn't for the reason you may think. It's because of their drive, their push, their "frankly, I don't give a damn."
They are out there doing what they need to do, and I'm sure they feel ridiculous, when I honestly think they should feel bad-ass. What they don't realize, is that they are being inspirational. They are being a driving force to others, they are showing their strength, even if they feel weak.
How do I know this...because I was there once. I wasn't in great shape when I started, I wasn't skinny, but I'm where I am now, because I started...I put myself out there just like them, and I know I have surprised and inspired some in the process. I'm not laughing at these awesome people, in any way, shape, or form, I am clapping for them, I am cheering them on, and I am acknowledging the fact, that they are taking control of their lives, their health, their emotions. They aren't out looking like they are trying to be something that they aren't..they are out BECOMING something they already are inside, but what they want to see on the outside as well. THEY are the inspirations, THEY are the "Hope", THEY are the "Screw you, I got this."

They are out doing, what they need to do, despite the stuck ups, despite the stares, and rude remarks. Have respect for those, that are changing themselves, for THEMSELVES. They are doing an amazing thing, and they aren't hiding it. These aren't people that are out there in workout gear, when they don't actually workout. They aren't claiming falsehoods to be something/one that they aren't, and ANYONE who has respect for fitness, health, and athletics, wouldn't look down on anyone trying to embrace that in their life. They wouldn't look out their car window in disgust, they wouldn't cringe at the tight workout gear...that may show more bulge then curve, and they certainly wouldn't say anything to damage their drive and spirit. They support, they love, they help, they encourage, and they help drive those, that want to be driven...a lot of times, because they started where these beauties are right now...at the beginning.
It takes a lot to get out there and strut your stuff, during your transformation, especially when so many are out being the bullies, of the gym...bike path...streets....life. That's right folks, even adults get picked on. It doesn't just stop once schools out, and it still hurts when your older.
But, for as many snobs and bad-mouthers that there may be, there are a lot of supporters, and also, a lot of those who need to be inspired and supported, by those of us, who are on the same journey. So, please, be the change, be the inspiration, be the greater good. We are always fighting a battle, and in battle, we need supporting troops, hope, & ambition. Please, be that for someone else, and let them be that for you.

You don't look ridiculous, you don't look out of place. You look like a fighter, and I guarantee that as you huff past those people in their cars, you are getting high-fived, and you are getting smiles of love and encouragement, and that YOU have inspired AT LEAST one person, by putting yourself out there. Congratulations, you're winning! Internet HIGH FIVE!
