The Home Workout Diaries: Pilot

I know, how clever right?
jk.

ANYWAYS, most of the people in my life are extremely familiar and even SWEAR by home workouts, but for people who've never experienced home workouts before it can seem kind of...

• unproductive
• lame
• weak
• stuck in the 80's
• not meant for serious results
• ect

But for people who ARE familiar with home workouts you know the truth:

• more productive
• saves time (from not driving to the gym)
• extreme results
• foolproof schedule
• no guesswork
• just press play
• ect

Basically what I'm about to show you is just how seriously amazing home workouts really are.

You DON'T have to deal with people looking/staring/watching/judging/competing/hitting on you at the gym.

You DO get to experience pressing play from your living room, wearing whatever you fancy, grunting as loud as you need to, and knowing your workout will only take 30 minutes TOTAL out of your day.

These facts alone should have you excited about working out, hehe!

But I know the feeling of being unsure, when I first decided I wanted to get serious about losing weight I *sigh* joined a gym EVEN THOUGH I already had a home workout and had seen them work before. 

I worked out 5 days a week, and it took about 2 hours out of my day, and I gave up before I saw results because I didn't have enough time for 2 hours a day, I wasn't seeing results even after a month of this, I didn't enjoy my time there due to feeling uncomfortable and watched, not to mention totally CLUELESS...

okay okay, I'm getting off track. 

Basically what I'm saying it I'm going to document every single amazing and challenging detail of working out at home for the next month and it's going to be called...

| THE HOME WORKOUT DIARIES |

Yes working out at a gym does work for some people! I'm not saying it doesn't. But what I AM saying is that working out form home is (for me) more convenient, more productive, a better use of my time, provides better results, is easier, faster, and funner. 

I know some people never felt uncomfortable at the gym and for them thats great! But for me I never enjoyed the environment - ladies... you feel me?!


I've lost 20 lbs so far using Turbofire and InsanityMax:30 (at home) :

Now I'm excited to see where I can get after a month of true diligence on my workouts and nutrition, no skips and no cheat meals! (okay... maybe one pizza night)

More later!!

A Day in the Life of a Beachbody Coach

| This quote is a good place to start |

When I first read that quote, I was like "Dang. I've been doing it SO wrong!" But I was grateful for the realization that I wasn't working hard enough. 

When I first became a full time coach it included a lot of sex and the city, a lot of reading, and a whole lot of naps. My business was going downhill fast and I couldn't figure out "WHY?!" because "I'm doing the daily to-do list??!!" What I realized is that if I'm doing the bare minimum it means I'm gonna GET the bare minimum in return.

So, I worked through my outside issues that were clouding my brain and now I work about 8 hours a day. I'd LIKE to get to a place where I can do more like 10-12 but right now it's hard with Charlie whining for potty breaks and ball time --> I'll get there I promise!

My day now looks something like this:

6:00 AM - wake up and workout
7:00 AM - eat breakfast and pack Matt's lunch
8:00 AM - shower and get ready
9:00 AM - booty in office chair - work hours BEGIN!
                - respond to messages in inbox 
10:00 AM - create Facebook event for 21 Day Fix Extreme Launch
10:30 AM - invite 10-15 friends to the event and personalize each invite!
12:00 PM - eat lunch and take mini break
12:30 PM - blog: topic varies each day
1:30 PM - respond to more messages and follow up
2:30 PM - create Facebook content for personal page and LIKE page
3:30 PM - take Charlie for a walk
4:00 PM - update list of friends and reconnect 
4:30 PM - read personal development book (currently reading: You Are a Badass)
5:00 PM - start making dinner

Then Matt comes home and we usually relax for an hour and eat dinner, then from 7-8:30 we both do more work and during that time I'm normally creating more facebook content or inviting/responding to messages!

It makes me wonder how I could've been so delusional during my Sex and The City phase but also, I was going through a dark time and was letting outside forces affect my mindset. I'm SO glad that it's over now! I have a lot of growing to do still, and my business is really just getting started, AKA I'm at square 1 - but I'm going full steam ahead and I can't wait to see where it's at in 5, 10 years, etc. My first goal is to retire Matt in 5 years so we'll see how things are going in 2020! HOLY COW. I just freaked myself out. 2020??!?!?

Ummm, I need to go make myself some tea or shakeology to calm down.

More on this later! (after I add instagram and youtube to my arsenal)

How To: Be Confident

You know when you see someone at the grocery store or in the mall and you just notice her walk, her talk, her eye contact, her whichever and you're like damn, that girl is confident! I want to be like that. Well, YOU CAN! HOORAY!

Confidence is not a feeling reserved for the beautiful, rich, or basically any other character you'll attribute necessary for confidence, nope! Confidence is inside of you, and you just need to dig it out!

You see, confidence is what REAL beauty is. When you see someone who grabs your attention, most of the time it's not their hair, makeup, or outfit, that looks amazing, its the way she exudes confidence. And why? Because confidence speaks volumes about self acceptance, and when you accept yourself, you're not comparing yourself to others, SO- what I'm trying to say is, when you're around someone confident you FEEL them accepting you as you are! Because they're not comparing themselves! Make sense?

Okay, great!

So, how do YOU become miss confidence?

It's really a quite simple formula. But the execution can be a little more difficult.

Let me break it down.

Step 1. Love yourself. Give yourself a hug when you wake up in the morning, tell yourself you look amazing after your shower, be kind to yourself when you make mistakes and REALLY congratulate yourself when you do awesome! 

Loving yourself can be a long journey for some women but getting there is SO important. If you have no idea where to start try repeating these outloud right now:

I am worthy of love.
I am amazing and I am more than enough.
Love flows through my effortlessly.
I love myself more and more everyday.
I accept myself for who I am because I am made perfectly for my lifetime on Earth.

The next step, and this one is kinda my favorite (guilty!)

Step 2. Love others. I KNOW! This one is unexpected but so dang fun. Love everyone you see, and give compassion when you see someone you would normally judge. Be understanding, kind, and open minded. When you love others you will love yourself more because you're allowing yourself you accept the flaws all around us. "Flaws" are actually what make each of us unique and aren't true flaws at all (this will start to make more sense eventually, scouts honor) 

When you give love, you're really giving yourself love. Its one of those beautiful laws of the Universe that when you make someone else day, you're really making your own better. So GIVE LOVE! 

Mother Teresa was a smart, smart woman who lived an incredible life. Trust her advice!!

When you love yourself, and love others, confidence will sweat out of your pores! (But not in the gross way, in the happy Elle Woods way)

| Love yourself |

Being confident is so much more than being pretty.

• Stop comparing yourself to others! Remember, love them as you would want others to love you. Life is not a competition and you are doing an amazing job regardless.

• Think positively! Don't listen to the negative voice inside your head. Remember, repeat those positive loving statements above.

I am worthy of love.
I am amazing and I am more than enough.
Love flows through my effortlessly.
I love myself more and more everyday.
I accept myself for who I am because I am made perfectly for my lifetime on Earth.

• Accept mistakes! They happen, honestly. 

• Don't let anyone define you. At some point you will come across people who don't like you, and thats perfectly normal! Embrace it with a take it or leave it attitude. 

• Do something you love! & do it constantly! Doing things you love only make you more of who YOU are. If you love soccer, then gosh darn play soccer! Or if you love to shop, hey that mall is waiting (and so am I, call me shopping buddy!) Doing things you love make you happy. Make time for fun things, you never want to be so busy chasing a goal that you forget to live life along the way!

You don't have to be fit, skinny, or have the best hair to be confident! You don't have to be accepted by everyone either. Being confidence starts with you!

Love yourself, and love others.
