As the weather gets colder and the seasons start to change, I find myself getting truly excited for the holidays for the first time in a very long time. My outlook on life has changed so much that I am able to see the good in everything and not let the negative drag me down. Life feels nostalgic and so many good memories are flowing! As the leaves began to change, I started to remember all of the wonderful times I had in college and how great of an experience it was for me. The weather also reminded me of how beautiful my wedding was in the park and how much fun Bryan and I have had over the years taking pictures there. The leaves have turned beautiful and are falling off the trees, making way for a delightful revival in the spring. I took Bryce there to play the other day and he had so much fun crunching the leaves, sitting on leaf piles, and being covered in them. I love that I can share a place that has had such meaning to me with him and watch him enjoy it as much as I have.
As we go shopping this time of year, Christmas lights & decorations are slowly appearing everywhere. Bryce loves them! He is fascinated by all of this, which why we are going have an amazing Christmas light display this year! I can't wait to take him around to see everything and watch his reactions. We will have so much fun at Christmas and throughout the winter. He will truly understand what it is to play in the snow, to make a snowman, and to go sledding. I'm getting excited just talking about it! I've also found myself wanting to go Christmas shopping, which if you know me, is a huge deal for me. I've hated Christmas shopping for as long as I can remember, but I guess I just really want to share my joy with others this year. I have found myself again and it has truly changed me! I feel like once again I am that fun-loving person who just radiates positivity. I am becoming the person I've always wanted to be. It is truly exciting!

This is a nutrient dense 3-day Shakeology and food plan that was designed by a highly experienced nutritionist. It's on the low side of caloric intake but not so low that it will jeopardize all the lean muscle you've worked so hard to build!! Here's how it works:

■it decreases water retention and bloating
■it helps with nutrient absorbtion and efficiency
■it rehydrates your body

■it gives your metabolism a boost
■it renews your energy
■it gets your body regular
Here's the plan you'll follow for 3 days:

Snack: One piece of fruit
Lunch: Shakeology mixed with water and/or ice only followed by another cup of green or detox tea

There are so many different cleanses out there that are unsafe, unhealthy, damaging, risky, and eat away at the lean muscle you work so hard to build! Here's a great comparison between the Shakeology Cleanse and another popular cleanse:
So what do I do after the Shakeology Cleanse?
After you're finished with your 3-day Shakeology cleanse just continue using Shakeology like you would normally do with 1 serving every day any way you like it along with eating clean and doing your favorite Beachbody/exercise program!

How I Lost the Baby Weight!
A few months later, I started drinking Shakeology and my energy improved even more. I now have enough energy to run after my 2 year old all day, lift my weights with Chalean Extreme, and do some HIIT training or cardio kickboxing with TurboFire. I have lost a total of 55 lbs. and over 31 inches from the day I had my son! Beachbody has truly changed my life! The workouts are fantastic and I love being able to do that in the comfort of my own home! Thank you Chalene Johnson & Beachbody!

Why I Love Shakeology!
I have never really been a big veggie eater. Sure, I will get on a kick from time to time and eat some microwaveable veggies, but I have only been eating them for about one meal a day, if that. Do I know I need them? Yes. Would it make me healthier? Definitely! But there is one problem. I like sweets! So, I have always chosen fruit first, that is, until I started drinking Shakeology. Now, I don't have to make that choice. Shakeology has 70 nutritious ingredients in one glass. It tastes delicious! You can make it like a milkshake or a smoothie. I get to have a chocolate milkshake for breakfast everyday and it is so good for me!
Beyond the nutrition, within the first 2 weeks of starting Shakeology, I lost 5 lbs. My digestion and regularity improved. It curbed my cravings for sweets. I felt full for hours after drinking it, so I was eating less. I now have so much more energy, my head feels clear, and I'm not tired all of the time like I used to be. Plus, my hair has been growing much faster too. These are just the things I have experienced. People are getting off of their cholesterol & blood pressure pills. It is helping diabetics and it is really helping people to lose weight. The results are amazing!
If you want to be healthier, try Shakeology! It comes with a 30 day bottom of the bag guarantee. Plus, right now you can get a 25% discount for free. With the discount, it costs about $3 a shake, about the same price or less than a Starbucks coffee, but what benefits are you getting from Starbucks? Shakeology is truly the healthiest meal of the day!

Personal development? Who has time for that?
It is amazing how much your life can change in such a short period of time! A very important part in succeeding as a Beachbody coach, is working on your own personal development. So what is personal development? It is simply working on improving yourself, in essence, letting yourself grow into the person you should be. Most people do not take the time to do this. They feel it isn't important and that maybe they will work on it someday if they have the time, but you know someday never comes. You have to plan it and make it happen. That's what I've been doing with my life.
Since I started reading 10 pages a day, my life has gotten so much better. The knowledge and insight you can gain about yourself and others is priceless and so completely worth taking the time to do. The first book I read was "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. It is a fantastic book and has completely changed my outlook on life! The Slight Edge simply shows you how to create powerful results from the simple daily activities of your life, by using tools that are already within you. And all you need to make that happen? Discover that "one" thing that will help you achieve that goal, realize a life-long dream or propel you up the ladder to success. Once you got it, then you will discover how your philosophy... creates your attitude... creates your actions... creates your results... creates YOUR LIFE! So, if you want to change your outlook on life, I would definitely recommend reading it.
Since that, I have read a few more books, just by simply reading a little bit every single day and all of the information has been invaluable. So please, invest in yourself, invest in your future, and take some time to think about your life, where you are, and where you want to be. You can make it happen! You already have everything you need to do it!
"Some day" doesn't exist, never has, and never will. There is no "some day". There's only today. When tomorrow comes, it will be another today; so will the next day. They all will. There is never anything but today. ~Jeff Olson

From no dreams to big dreams!
It seems like not very long ago, I had quit dreaming. I felt stuck and that it was too late for me to do anything else with my life. I had thought that when I graduated from college, I would get this great job and be successful. I worked several jobs, but nothing seemed to be fufilling. Every job had something wrong with it. There wasn't enough support, it was boring, it wasn't for me, etc. Then, I finally started the job I thought I had wanted most. I became a stay at home mom to my son Bryce. Little did I know that this would be the hardest job I have ever had in my life. With very little vacation and hardly any breaks, it is very demanding and definitely not for everyone. It is definitely the most rewarding job I've ever had, but I still needed something different. I was struggling to be a good mom because I didn't like myself. I was overweight. I didn't make any time for myself. I just didn't recognize who I was anymore. I finally took the time for me and started working on myself early this year. I started working out 5-6 days a week. I started reading personal development books, and I started working on builidng my own business. Now, I have changed my body, I have changed my mind, and I have changed my future. I am dreaming big and setting huge goals for myself! By using Beachbody programs, and by becoming a coach, I have truly changed my life. I have more ambition than I can ever remember having and I just want to share that with everyone!
