Friday Eve.......

On the eve of Friday and the 1st of the month there is a lot going on in the Beachbody world! Many people trying to meet end of the month goals and others getting ready to set and break new ones starting tomorrow. 

What goals are you setting for yourself? Where do you see yourself in the next 30 days? For me, I have a lot happening. I accepted a teaching job, teaching 2nd grade. I start on Tuesday. This is sooo out of my comfort zone. I thought for sure I would be with the older kids. I have to pass a test that is 4 parts, 5 hours long. I take that the 30th. I am freaking out a little inside. I am also freaking out because I don't have a lot of materials for the classroom but I have done a lot more with less and I know that I will really be doing a service to the community because this is a charter school, with kids who really need someone who cares and can be a positive influence in their lives. 

I knew when I set out as a Beachbody coach that it would take me on a journey to help others. I didn't imagine it would take me to an elementary school. I am looking forward to this new challenge!

A day in the life of a coach.......

 
I have been so sporadic with my blog and it makes me start to think, why would I follow a blog that was sporadic? I wouldn't. I am inconsistent with my content and my posts. I have a million things going on at the same time, all the time. I am now a mom, soon to be employee again, a beachbody coach, a wife, daughter, friend and so much more. I wear a lot of hats. I can appreciate that. I appreciate other people who wear a lot of hats! I don't even like hats! LOL
 
I was thinking about my target audience. It must be for people who also wear a lot of hats. People who do a million things at one time all the time and want to know how to fit clean eating and fitness in there somewhere. So you there, with all the hats, ya YOU! I am writing this for you.
 
I think I was so worried about the way the blog looked and what was on it and how other successful coaches' blogs looked and I just would put any ol' thing out there. NOT. ANYMORE. 
I am going to write about how I fit a healthy lifestyle into my already 8 million things on my TO DO list. So let's start today.
 
I bought a planner this weekend. Yes like an old school pen to paper planner so I can see things I need to do daily. I put blogging on there for twice a week. I am not sure what days yet but since I am doing this today, let's go ahead and go with Monday as one day and Thursday for another. 
 
Here is what I anticipate my day looking like when I go back to work.   Wake up around 5:00 AM. Get my workout in, shower, get ready, check in with groups and customers on FB, feed baby, take baby to daycare, go to work, pick baby up from day care, get dinner together, put baby to bed, more beachbody stuff. It's a lot to fit in in one day but I know I can do it.  When you make it a priority, it just becomes one. It is non negotiable item in your life. The great thing about being a coach is being able to motivate others to do the same. If you want more information about how to fit it into your life, add me on FB, send me a message here or whatever means necessary!

30 days Post Partum

 So I know..I know.. I have slacked at Blogging..>AGAIN! I swear every time I say I am going to be better this time, I am not. I fall off the wagon and I FAIL! But you know what I keep learning about failing? It is how we learn and grow and become better. I wanted to do a blog post today so you can see my transformation after the first 30 or so days of working out after we had our baby girl! I am down 11 pounds and 9.5 inches over all and that is just from when I started working out. My starting weight was 226 (last day of pregnancy) and now I am 188.4. I have a long way to go and am hoping to get to 150s by November. That is my big scary goal!
 
 
 
I love coaching because it has allowed me to connect with so many people who I know, didn't know, are strangers and now friends and so on and so forth. I have been blessed to be able to help these people reach their fullest potential when it comes  to their own journey's and it is a remarkable feeling when they say "Because of you, I didn't give up". If you are interested in learning more about a challenge group or just what it is I do as a coach or anything really, feel free to reach out! Thanks guys!
