Counting My Blessings from being a Beachbody Coach

Most of you if not all of you know that I wear many hats and this past year was a huge year as new massage studio owner and also taking my health & fitness coaching with beachbody very seriously.
Although very busy I'm loving that I get to do both of these things on a daily basis, some don't understand why I do what I do or what I get from coaching.

So, I sat down  at the beginning of the year and I wrote down some of my top moments as a Beachbody coach (these are just a few)

1. I've been able to work with well over 100 people, helping them find programs that work for them and their goals, helping create new healthier lifestyles and that is pretty amazing. My goal for this year is to help 1 person a day choose fitness & health which would be 365 not just lives but entire families changed.

2. An amazing cruise that I was invited to attend was a huge bonus, blessing and adventure that I will never forget, being able to attend this event with the most motivating inspiring & uplifting people while getting to workout with the best trainers in the world.

3. A huge confidence boost in my personal self and being bold about my mission to share my faith through health, fitness and my support, God allowing me to turn a little hobby into a business

4.  Being able to pay for more than one box of Shakeology monthly (which was my goal in the beginning) so my entire family can drink t everyday to stay healthy.

5. We were also able to pay for Christmas with cash (3 kids & extended) family and enjoy a nice dinner while we were out Christmas shopping.

6. Doing our shoebox Ministry in October and being able to share our favorite gifting for the year with you, but also including challengers and doubling how many shoeboxes our family usually packs.

That's a big deal!!!

I'm looking forward to this coming year and the possibilities to tackle our debt one bill at a time starting with school loans and seeing the fruits of last years hobby and the wow thoughts of what this year will bring is mind boggling!


Would you like to be the change your family needs?
Do you want to see change not only in your health & fitness but also your finances?

email me today and let's chat because you never know where it will lead. I never thought pressing play and doing Insanity years ago would bring me to where I am today but I'm more blessed and thankful that my choice to try has landed me here.

Are you ready to be the change your family needs?

Our Mission Field

Where do you feel your mission field is?
Do you have one?
Do you want one?
As a child of God we are called to use the gifts we are given by Him to work, live and be the light in our mission fields.

What are you preparing to harvest after you have planted the seeds? Or are you just throwing seeds randomly around your life in the places you have most influence in such as your home, family, work, school.

If you believe that you have something worth sharing you should share it. If you don't know your mission how are you going to go about that mission every day?
Pray, ask God to reveal your purpose, your mission. You might be surprised to see it's right in front of you but in a different way.

We cannot harvest something we have not planted, so planning, planting seeds and sharing things like food for the soul & the water of life that never runs dry, sharing is using our mission field to reach others for the harvest.

Our relationships, positions, titles and our achievements don't get us to the harvest? but it does change how and whom you have influence over and if you believe it changed your life why wouldn't you want to share it. Actually people should be offended if you don't offer it, it being this food for the soul & water that never runs out, life everlasting. Those things are what we share, prepare and sow we share our hope in Jesus with our actions and words whatever mission field we are called to be in.

How do you see the world?
Is it your playground, maybe your spa a place you like to be pampered in, is it your battlefield always constantly with your guard up or is it your mission field to serve others?

I'm personally learning everyday the more I seek His will for me I'm encountering resistance, it's the enemy trying to keep this momma down and not sharing what makes me the women I am. My mission field starts in my home with my husband and 3 children, then I'm blessed to be able to extend out into my massage studio and my Heath & fitness coaching. I'm encouraged everyday to be in contact with so many women and mothers that need support, love simple encouragement that I feel that I can inspire and support these women for His purpose and our ultimate blessings; to feel amazing amd healthy in our own skin and to live the life He has called each of us to live.

Maybe you don't know today your purpose or your mission but I know He knows, so start with prayer and ask Him to reveal it to you.

Enjoy your day!

"If only we had a fairy godmother or magic wand"

"If only we had a magic wand"

Have you ever dreamed your fairy godmother would just come and transform you into your dream world, your dream prince to come, the dream body or the ultimate rags to riches story, well that's hardly reality. Reality is we usually are where we are because we are comfortable, scared, or think we have no choice this is it. Well funny thing is about having a choice is just that we HAVE a choice that's an action word and a very valuable gift you have been given.

You make choices everyday, maybe not drastic ones like taking a shower, brushing your teeth, driving to work, eating and working out but choices nonetheless. The question is what if you didn't do these daily? they would add up you'd be smelly, no job, hungry and yes fat and unhealthy.

The small seamlessly harmless choices can make or break your success in life the evidence of your daily activities might not give you that drastic fairly godmother magical change but it will set you up for a life of success if you choose to do them everyday and continue to add to your positive choices to be better, improve you body, your home, you position at work your family time.

Those little choices to do or not to do add up on one side or the other, success or failure. If you're headed to failure let today be the day, let the feeling of disappointment lead to movement in you life in your daily choices, to change the things you don't like and choose to choose the daily activities that improve your position on the road to success. Only you can do it no magic wand, no fairy godmother, no magic pill or potion. It's all about your motion. Let's get moving!

Get Results or More Excuses?


Are you seeing results or making more excuses. Nope, not a statement of judgment a question of truth, so many individuals WANT to see results, but the voices in their head provide many excuses from as little as "I like my sleep" "its genetic" "its not fair to spend me time away from my children" "I like chocolate too much" I'm not a fitness person" I don't need to look good in a bathing suit or cute in clothes (my husband loves me just as I am) watch it ladies this IS a dangerous field you are playing. sorry the excuses are outstanding when we talk to ourselves. I will keep it simple ready?
You are WORTH IT, You CAN CHANGE YOUR HABITS and most things we think are genetic are not AND you will  KNOCK the socks off of your husband and yes that is allowed and highly recommended.
Over the years of sharing health and fitness with others I have learned Accountability and having a big goal is a major part of healthy success, that's why I share my shakeology number and my fitness daily along with my personal goals both big ones and small daily ones.
It's my accountability to you and it helps me think about my WHY! What drives me when I don't post it on Facebook or IG, or blog about it. What DRIVES me is how I FEEL when I work toward those goals not just talk about what others and myself should do but what I AM doing.
It takes action to see results and I have a lot of "results" I want to see in my life that DRIVE me to get up and shake off every excuse in my head and get stuff done. Personal development and devotions, exercise, daily preparation for eating healthy foods, cleaning my home and sharing healthy habits with my children. When my foundation is strong I won't think twice about being worth it, the bible says I am, my family thinks I am and I do to. What Drives me is the feeling I know I will have one day where I and not dreaming about a new kitchen or a vacation or those darn student loans, what drives me is not having the SAME resolutions every year of being debt free, or loose weight, or a better marriage, house repairs and additions or health wise to not get those grim findings that most if not everyone we know has gotten at least once in their life and I mean high blood pressure, diabetes and everything else that comes with poor health habits.
So back to accountability, who knows your goals? who actually knows the RESULTS you want to achieve in 2015?

Think about when you wanted to stop drinking coffee or soda, quit smoking, trying so hard to drive past those fast foods places, being consistent with sleep, going to the gym or another "goal" and that when you SHARE it with others it makes it REAL and scary!!!! 
That's what I am here to do with you SHARE my goals my dreams of - living a healthy fulfilling life and with that comes being debt free and free to do and bless others with the blessings we have in abundance.

This week share a goal that you want to achieve this month with a close friend (not all your friends) or your children THEY WILL hold you accountable, or your spouse (unless it's a surprise) or if you don't have someone you can share your goal with me just message me I'll support you and hold you accountable
"EVERYTHING MATTER" so I'll ask you to think about that "thing, that GOAL" the results you want to see in your life and
What are you currently doing to get you to your goal?
What do you want to start now?
What is holding you back from attaining that goal?
Don't let something in your head hold you back from the chance of getting results that will change your life forever, someday never comes so you have today to say either RESULT or More EXCUSES

Have a Great TODAY!
