I started another coaching a new challenge group on Monday and this group has so much motivation and it is so empowering! I think that’s one of the perks to being a part of a challenge group. You are there to support each other, you keep each other motivated and focused.

The reason I do this program is to keep my eating on track. Although most people are trying to lose weight and tone up I’m looking to maintain my weight but would like to increase my energy and more toning is always a plus.

I find that even though I eat healthy, there are some days where I consume too much nut butters & carbs… so this program really teaches me the right portions.

I think Marc could tell you how many scoops of peanut butter I would really like to have on any given day ;)

To be honest, its super helpful to follow this plan and when I do I feel energized, satisfied and less bloated because I’m eating real clean simple foods. It’s the type of eating I hope to do for the rest of my life!

Have you ever tried the 21 day fix or another BeachBody program?

Mine was great, it actually felt like a long weekend and it didn’t fly by too much. Maybe it is also because we have a delayed start (with fitness classes) at the Y this morning.

One thing that stuck out to me about this weekend was that we didn’t eat out once. Every meal was home cooked and it felt great to eat clean & healthy.

Here are a few snapshots of some of my meals!

Friday was blackened salmon.

Saturday I had lunch at my friends house she made salads and mini sandwiches.

If you didn’t already know I started my Insanity Max30 program last week and I also have recently became a Beachbody coach.

I already help people with fitness on a daily basis but I am super excited to add in this type of coaching to help people reach their goals. We all need support when trying to lose weight or get fit and this is an awesome way for me to encourage and motivate others!

A week from today I will be hosting a FREE 5-day clean eating challenge (I will talk more about that later this week). I have been following it myself this past week and I feel GREAT. Even though I eat healthy and I’m fit, just like you I have areas of my body that I want to change.

My main struggle over the last year has been tightening my core. For all you women out there with babies you know that “the struggle is real when it comes to belly fat and having a little extra something under you belly button area!”

I eat healthy 90% of the time, but clearly that wasn’t cutting it. On occasion I enjoy a slice of pizza, a small bowl of ice cream, or a glass of wine. I really wanted to see changes and I knew for that to happen, I needed to work on that last 1o%.  I had to give 100% effort, make a commitment and stick to it. When I say I’ve seen a difference in only 1 WEEK,  I absolutely mean it; BELIEVE ME!  All of my meals for 5 days were clean & healthy and I worked out every day.

It was yesterday that I woke up and felt the difference. The little bulge that has been driving me nuts has gone down. I actually should say its tighter. That’s what I wanted!!! It was never about the number on the scale for me, it was about feeling more confident. It is mind boggling to me that I didn’t focus this hard sooner.

The other crazy thing is that I have never been open about this with you. If you could ask Marc, he would tell you too, I’m very insecure when it comes to certain things. Although I may seem positive a lot of the time, I still have my areas of weakness too and my stomach was one of them. I was SO nervous to share with you guys and I can’t say I’m even sure why I was fearful, but Marc convinced me and I am glad I did. If I don’t share my journey with you, then how can you learn or how can I help you change?

Anyways, I will stop rambling and I don’t even know if this all came out clear… but I can honestly say I feel great today and I hope I can help you feel the same!

Without a morning class to teach I am going to jump right into my Insanity MAX workout!

What is the most difficult part for you when it comes to losing weight (Diet or nutrition)?

What is your driving factor to look and feel great?
