Super Saturday was so amazing yesterday. I cannot even begin to
explain what I experienced and learned. As I was sharing with my team
this morning, getting to these quarterly and annual events are part of
the growth process and activities that move your business forward. You
have so much fun, you learn from the best of the best and you get to
spend time with and absorb the amazing energy of a room filled with like
minded people wonderful people that just make you want to be better.
I totally didn't feel like going yesterday. I was waiting to find out
if we got into a new building that I so desperately want in Buckhead and
I couldn't think about anything else. I was sick waiting on their
decision. But I reluctantly went and I heard a lady share about how just
sharing her journey helped her business grow and with the time and work
she matched her corporate income, surpassed it and not long after left
her job. That totally breathed new life into me.
I think I mentioned
that my husbands company closed so I had to go back to work recently to
keep our daughter in private school and I hate that it takes so much
time away from my family, building my business, coaching my ladies and
just doing what I love. So hearing her say what she did to grow her
business, how she managed her time while working her corporate job gave
me that perspective and built my belief a little more that I can do
this. All I have to do is put in the work and no it's not easy but it is
simple. This business is so simple and rewarding. I couldn't imagine
not getting to do this full time ever again. And I used to be a skeptic
but I've experience the life changing opportunity this is and can be.
You have no idea how hearing her has improved my outlook on my current
situation. How much it has lit my path for my business and the day I can
quit...again... not because my husband is making his normal income
again but because I have built myself and my business to sustain a
lifestyle of financial freedom and freedom of my time and in the process
changed countless lives the way I have changed my own. If I hadn't gone
yesterday because I was waiting on that decision I would have missed
out on hearing this simple thing she shared that lit my path. Oh and
when we got back we found out we were approved for the building and I am
moving next weekend in between Brett's business trips. I eagerly look
forward to these events because quite simply....they grow me :)#thatcoachlife
I have had some of the most delicious food while on the reset. This program is all about whole, natural good food to nourish you body and cells. This soup is one of my many favs. A clean, healthy, delicious soup is one of my favorite things to have when the temperatures start dropping. This soup is so versatile that you can spice it up any way you like. I like to add turmeric, braggs aminos, Himalayan sea salt and garlic. I hope you enjoy it.

So yesterday I talked about this amazing new workout that I am super excited about doing for the month of November.. Core de Force. I have done both sneak peeks and they were so much fun and it low key made me feel like a bad ass. I cannot wait for this program to launch October 31st. So what am I doing launching a Core Badass group to kick some major butt in November and we start on the 7th.
What is Core de Force you ask? Well.. Core De Force
is a 30 day total body transformation program that will rock your world and all you need is your body! Core De Force is an MMA inspired program which includes 3 minute
“rounds” where you will get boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai, knee-elbow
combinations, body weight training and cardio spikes that will help you
lose belly fat and shred your body. If you can focus on hitting it hard
for 3 minutes at a time before you know it the workout is over. Like I said I have done both sneak peeks and they were amazing. This workout gets your heart rate up, it gets you
sweating and I couldn’t believe how sore I was the next day. I noticed
that it really does focus on your entire core and getting your
midsection defined, which of course is a woman’s top area to spot treat
right!!! So check out all the details here if you are interested in
changing up your workout, breaking a plateau, getting started with your
transformation or holding yourself accountable over the holidays. I am
going to be hosting a private test group for people who are ready to
join me in this 30 day program.
What is Core De Force?
Core De Force is your 30 day countdown to a total body
transformation. This workout was created by Joel Freeman and Jericho
McMatthews, it is the ultimate mixed martial arts-inspired workout that
is going to really knock off the belly fat, get rid of inches and tone
and tighten your entire body with no equipment. I love this workout because in every workout there is a “learn it
& work it” section that breaks down the moves so that you can learn
them before you do the workout. So if you are new to the MMA style
exercises this will give you confidence to go right in and kick some
butt. Core De Force is also not on a beat or rhythm so you don't have to follow any choreography and thank God for that because I can't ever stay on beat... lol There are modifiers in
every single workout so no matter what your ability level is, you can go
at your own pace. As you get stronger the goal is to challenge
yourself with higher intensity and increased focus.. This
is key for those that are budget conscious, don’t have a lot of room to
workout or are traveling and want to workout in a hotel room. And again you don't need any equipment so you can literally workout anywhere,even in your hotel room if your traveling. Like my husband travels for business and literally will have to get his workouts in his hotel room or he takes his laptop to the hotel gym to get in his workouts.
Core De Force makes it easier to get started on your
health and fitness journey because it is EASY, SIMPLE to follow and all
you really need to do is show up and PRESS PLAY on the workout of the
day! My goal is to EMPOWER YOU AND GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE TO MAKE THE
CHANGES NECESSARY SO THAT YOU CAN LIVE A HEALTHY AND FULFILLING LIFE.
Who is Core De Force For?
EVERYONE!!! Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level in
your fitness you can do this workout. You will enjoy the challenge of
taking the intensity higher to improve your cardio strength, speed and
endurance. Each MMA inspired workout has an optional move breakdown to
help you get familiar with the combinations. There is also a “modifier
track” so you can follow a split screen if you would like as well.
Core De Force also focuses on rotational moves which means you will
work your core from every angle every time you hit play. Targeting each muscle group in your abdomen. That is going
to be awesome for all of us who really want to tone that trouble area! That is what I am most excited about. That is the area I like most women struggle with the most. I have had 4 babies that includes a set of twins so mama's midsection needs some work..lol Especially that little pooch that we hate so much.
What Is the Eating Plan Like?
The nutrition guide
was created to be simple, clean foods, that you can easily measure out
and combine to give yourself a well balanced nutrition plan that will
fuel your body with the energy it needs to crush the next workout on the
schedule and get the results that you want. If you really want to know
what this program can do for your body make sure that you are 100%
committed to the nutrition plan because what you eat is 80% of the
results that you get.
The nutrition plan follows the portion fix, but you will not receive
another set of containers unless you want them! Each food category is
measured out and explained in detail to you. The plan is meant to be
SUPER EASY to follow so that you don’t get overwhelmed with to many
options. Plus, in the test group I am hosting I am going to be walking
you through the entire nutrition plan as well.
When Can I Get This Workout?
Core De Force will be available on the 31st of October to customers
of Team Beachbody coaches. So if you do not have a coach right now make
sure to sign up with me so that I can be your coach and guide you from
start to finish through the program. Here is your link to create your Free Team Beachbody Account. Make sure that you go to my event page so you can be considered for a spot in my Core De Force Group and get notified when the program launches. Also so you can get the
support and accountability to start and complete the program. To go to my event page go to https://www.facebook.com/events/1626163174349503/
So now here is the MOST important part. How do I REALLY succeed at this
program?? Well, anyone can go out there and buy the Core De Force
Challenge Pack and do the workouts. Unfortunately I have seen many of
times, (even I have done this) where we purchase a program with the
best of intentions and before we know it, the workout is sitting on our
shelf collecting dust and we make excuses for why we don’t have time or
it isn’t the right timing. So don’t let this be another program that
you have good intentions with! It’s time to take charge of your fitness
and nutrition and get involved in a closed online community of support
that is going to help you start and complete the program and get the
RESULTS that you want just in time for the holidays. Better yet, we are
going to help you create a holiday plan that is going to give you the
flexibility to enjoy the holiday things you want to eat but still get
results. Does that sound like a good plan?
There will never ever be a perfect time to start your fitness and health and fitness journey. You literally just have to take that leap of faith,
bite the bullet and go for it. If you do not try, how will you ever
know if you can succeed! This just might be that 1 thing that changes your life and just finally makes sense to you and your
lifestyle.
For more information on program details, the launch and how to join connect with me on my event page https://www.facebook.com/events/1626163174349503/ Let's make this our healthiest holiday season yet.
I am so super excited for this MMA inspired program to launch next
week. I did the first sneak peek and it legit made me feel like a bad
ass and it was so much fun. I cannot wait to do my group for this in
November. Check out the next sneak peek tomorrow all day long for FREE. https://www.teambeachbody.com/tbbsignup/-/tbbsignup/free
This amazing dish turned out 10 times better than anticipated. One 4 ounce stuffed breast only has 371 calories. The ingredients were inexpensive but that doesn't include
the chicken breast I already had those at home. That German cheese is
found in the cream cheese area of the
grocery store. It is a lot like cream cheese but less fat and has a
sweeter flavor. I was thinking you could add some dried cranberries or apple butter too
but be mindful of the amount and the added calories. I hope you enjoy
it.

Happy Hump day, how's it hangin'...lol I am tired and sore. My husband
is out of town again. I am skipping class again and all I want to do is
nap.... I just can't get my head into this semester. My schedule is off
or something is off today. I feel disconnected almost like I am just
going through the motions if that makes sense. I am not sure why, maybe
it's because I haven't meditated in a couple of days. Anyways, since I
am skipping class I am about to do some yoga stretching,
play some Deepak Chopra and get my prayer and meditation on. I am
hoping that will restore my balance a bit. I really need to focus and
figure out what I need to do to power through the rest of this semester
but, honestly I am just over it. I want to be done already. I think I
picked a good day to do this though, I like Wednesdays for re-evaluating
and refocusing. It's the middle of the week so it gives you a chance to
tweak things to get the most out of the rest of the week. Have you
thought about if your week is going in the direction you need it to be
to reach your goal for this week? If not what is going wrong, what can
you change? What is within your power and what isn't?...that is
important to know. If you feel BLAH!! take a step back, close your eyes,
take a few deep breaths and ask God for clarity and direction and just
wait and listen for a few minutes. Do your best to be aware the rest of
the day for the answer, because if your open and paying attention...he
will answer you.... Anyways, have a Wonderful Wednesday
