Why I'm a Beachbody Coach!

Cheers!!!

There are so many Beachbody coaches out there these days! It seems like the market should be absolutely over-saturated and that there's nothing left to take home from coaching...right?!?!

Well, 60% of Americans are still overweight, so that just CANNOT be true!

Though I signed up as a Beachbody coach initially only for the profit, that is just not the only thing it has been about for me in the long-run! I knew that I would get the unique opportunity to use my college degree (BS in Human Nutrition & Dietetics) from home while raising my children. I knew that I would get to talk to other adults a little more (and as a mom--that's huge!!) I knew that I loved "playing" on my computer and on social media, so that this was PERFECT for me!

But there have been sooooo many amazing things about it that I just didn't foresee coming into it!!

No one told me the day I signed up that I would lose 40 pounds, a ton of inches (I LOST COUNT), 4 clothes sizes, and 4% of body fat!

No one told me that I would win $500 in the Beachbody Challenge and get featured on the Beachbody website!

No one told me that I would gain an incredible amount of confidence.

No one told me that the women in my upline would be incredibly inspirational and reach out to me and change my life. Actually, I take that back. My coach did. I just didn't realize what she meant!

No one told me that building a downline of my own team of coaches also equated to building a group of friends who love me and always have my back!

No one told me that I would get to talk to countless women about real NON-BEACHBODY issues in their lives and get to make a difference in their lives that I would have been too shy to reach out to otherwise.

And no one told me about the difference they would make in my life!

How to make Easter cascarones!!

Have you ever heard of cascarones?!?! I hadn't before this year! But now that I have, I was so so excited to make them with (and for!) my kiddos! I mean what's more fun than running after each other with colored eggs in your hands that explode into confetti when they hit your "target"?!? We are hoping the target will be Daddy and not me! ;) So first of all, what are cascarones?!? The idea was first seen in Asia and later brought to Italy by Marco Polo. The eggs were often given as gifts and were filled with perfumed powder. The custom then traveled to Spain and was later brought to Mexico in the mid-1800s by Emperor Maximilian’s wife. It was in Mexico that the perfumed powder was replaced with confetti. In Mexico, these colored eggs are often thrown at fiestas during carnaval, just before lent. While you may see cascarones at the carnaval celebrations in the US, it is more common to see them around Easter. This is because, like many oth...

Reflections on Praying with Paul

While I have yet to make it past Chapter four in Praying with Paul (grace and peace, right?), I was challenged even before I finished the preface of the book. According to D. A. Carson, one of the major problems within the Western Church is prayerlessness. Ok, great. I pray daily. Clearly this doesn’t apply to me. T he two pitfalls within the Western Christian church are too much activity that doesn’t include prayer and praying without a basis in the scriptures . OK, maybe I do pray daily, but are my prayers as well thought out as they should be? Are they too simplistic? Do I focus too much on my own wants and needs? They aren’t always based in scriptures. I rarely sit down with the Bible and pray a passage…clearly, I have a lot to learn. The first action I took to try to improve my prayer life was beginning to create space. (I write the word beginning , because truthfully, I st...

Adulting & Parenting

I love the phrase "adulting." It basically means making grown up stuff happen and pretending like you truly know exactly what's going on, when really, you are just making it up as you go. I basically began my adult life as a mom since we had our first baby at 22...so for me, parenting often felt exactly like "adulting" in my early years. Actually, I still feel like I'm just winging it quite often. The truth is though, now that we are getting to raising our fourth little one, I'm beginning to feel like I know what I'm doing...sometimes or well, at least more frequently than before. Over the last decade, my mindset on parenting has changed from "how do I do this correctly?" to "what needs to be done to raise them well." I've found that taking the mindset off of me and my performance and moving it to them completely changes what I do and how I handle most situations. For example, my just turned two year old loves trying ...
