Move of the Day ~ Plyo

Let me tell you, 21 Day Fix Extreme is AMAZING. It's giving me a GREAT workout in just 30 minutes!!

In typical Autumn fashion, she leaves what I think was the hardest move of the workout, for LAST! and Instead of 30 seconds, it's 1 minute long! It wiped me out!

Here it is! My version and my kiddos version...I'd say theirs is much easier! ;-) Think you can do my version for a whole minute...warning...it's HARD! lol Give it a try!

NEW COACH INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY

I'm looking for women who are READY for GREATNESS!!

I REALLY want other women to have the opportunity that I have been given for freedom.

I am 110% dedicated to helping MY coaches actually SUCCEED in this business.

Beachbody has forever changed our lives.
I am officially a stay home mom.
We are debt free.
We are setting up our KIDS for success for when they are grown.
We have freedom to build OUR family’s dreams & to HELP others…

I want those same options for everyone I know… truly.

Beachbody is our VEHICLE.

Beachbody is the BEST choice I’ve ever made. And it actually has LITTLE to do with the incredible income…. it has everything to do with the KIND of people I work alongside & the people who TRUST me enough to support & encourage them along in their healthy journey – that’s what it’s about for me.

To invest in OTHER PEOPLE is an incredible responsibility BUT ALSO comes with great reward.

This is a LEGIT business.

Team Crazy Fit is made up of moms, dog moms, young professionals, families and beyond who CARE about helping other people & who are not afraid of working hard NOW for more freedom LATER. We are committed to LIVING A LIFE by DESIGN!

I’m mentoring BRAND NEW COACHES who join my team in February.

It’s incredible what can happen with this business & it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to share this with other people…. even the skeptics.

I am choosing to pay it forward and share this blessing with others who are struggling just like I was. I didn’t have the skills or the knowledge to be a business owner…but I did have:

-DRIVE-PASSION
-MOTIVATION
-DETERMINATION
-A desire to do MORE with my life
-A desire to be home with my kids and NOT sitting at a desk all day

This business isn’t for the QUALIFIED… it’s for those who are COACHABLE and not looking for a “Get RICH Quick Scheme!”

It’s for the person who is willing to TAKE RISKS & learn as they go!

You don’t have to be EXACTLY like me but I am looking to connect with women who can RELATE to me because I KNOW that I can lead them effectively and I also know I will ENJOY working with them!

If you….
– KNOW you were meant for something greater…
– WANT to create independence & freedom for you & your family {or future family!} BUT also feel a calling to give back and help others!
– Want to live by DESIGN: Be your own boss- work when you want, where you want doing what you LOVE!
– COACHABLE and willing to spend a year making short-term sacrifices in order to spend the rest of your life enjoying long-term success!

If you are reading this & you hear that little voice….and your gut is telling you to GO FOR IT…I want to hear from you!

I am accepting applications for brand new 2015 Team Crazy Fit Coaches. I will be selecting my new internship on February 26th & our training BEGINS on March 2nd!

If this is something you have been considering, or KNOW you were meant for more - let's LOCK ARMS and get started!! I CANNOT WAIT to help you build YOUR Dynasty!!

APPLY HERE:  Application

Remember I will be selecting my interns by Thursday, February 26th - so be sure to reach out if you have any questions!!

Donkey Kicks!

Ok! Let's talk about Donkey Kicks! Ever hear of them? Well if not they are evil, just take my word for it lol Thanks Tony Horton! 

Ok so these of course are strategically placed as the last exercise of one of my favorite workouts, The Accelerator from P90x3 and they are extremely difficult after you've just busted your ass for 30 minutes! So he basically wants you to kick yourself up into a handstand, come down and lift one arm up and one leg...see if you can follow along with my short video clip here. He has you do this for an entire minute..think you can do it?? As you can see in my clip...I lose my steam FAST lol ;-) 

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

I'm not sure about any of you, but I have a small obsession with buffalo chicken...anything! 
I wanted to try something different tonight and what I came up with was so easy and oh so GOOD! Please not that I am terrible at measuring things...but these are the ingredients I used:

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

-1 lb Ground Chicken
-1 Spaghetti Squash (cut in half, guts scooped out)

-Buffalo Sauce of your choice
-Chopped tomato
-Chopped red onion
-Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
-Shredded Cheddar Cheese

I seasoned the spaghetti squash, placed on a cookie sheet, skin side up and cooked for 30 mins on 375. In the meantime, I cooked the ground chicken on the stove top and added in the buffalo sauce. While that was cooking I chopped up the tomato and onion and put aside in a bowl with the cheese. Once the ground chicken was done, I added that to the bowl with the tomato,onion and cheese. By this time, the spaghetti squash was done and i scooped out the "meat" and added it to the bowl with everything else and mixed it up really well. Then I filled the spaghetti squash with the mixture and popped it back in the over for 10-15 mins. 5 minutes before I took it out I added a little more cheese on top...

Me? Speak on a Team Call..WHAT?

You ever have those days you wake up and you just, you feel off? Today was one of those days. Regardless of that, I dragged myself out of bed fed the kids, had my coffee and I was even lucky enough to get a shower in lol that’s a sacred thing as a Mom, right?? Anyway, I went about my day as usual, still just feeling sort of “blah” but going thru the motions. Luckily my mother agreed to watch the kids for a few hours so I could get some things done. I was doing my thing when I received a message from a fellow Beachbody Coach from another team. She went to HS with my husband and her daughter goes to school with my niece and happened to see my name on a Top 10 List for Massachusetts Success Club Earners with Beachbody and was super sweet in sharing it with me since I was not able to view it myself. J I know most of you probably have no idea what that means, but basically it means I have helped MANY people get started on their health & fitness journeys. #soblessed She then asked me if I’d want to be a guest speaker on one of her team calls…WHAT?  ME? Speak on another TEAMS call? For anyone that knows me well, knows this scares the crap out of me lol I have terrible stage fright and clam up when I have to speak in front of large amounts of people. Way, way out of my comfort zone!! However I am SO honored she’d like ME to talk to her team about how I have been so successful thus far, what I do on a daily basis and what has helped me get to my goals. That changed my day. :-) I am so blessed to be in the position I am in. I'm able to help not only myself but also help OTHERS become happier and healthier! Ah. Mind blowing. I've always loved the health and fitness world. So thankful I'm finally part of it. So…what can I do to prepare myself for this call...mentally? lol Besides partaking in some wine consumption? ;-) Anyone have some tips for me? I'd greatly appreciate them! Thanks so much! 

Snack Time!

Snacks...anyone else struggle with these? I have found my new favorite snack! :-)

A sliced up apple (I prefer Gala or Honey Crisp) topped with cinnamon, 1/2 tbsp of melted peanut butter and a few dark chocolate chips on top! It's amazing! Give it try!
