Sweating for Two Fitness

My "I really hope this isn't my last bump pic but just in case it is I better take one" picture. We'll know more at my appointment later today, but hopefully there's more of these to come!

I have complete lack of control when it comes to drinking enough water...as in I just don't do it. So- I'm holding a little 7 day water challenge with some other friends that reach for anything else but the clear stuff. Nothing fancy just a little accountability group, maybe a few fun recipes thrown in, but mostly just making sure we stick to it. Anyone else wanna join us?

This isn't rocket science by any means but sometimes it takes me a little while for the lightbulb to go off. I bring a salad just about everyday for lunch. They can kinda be a pain to chop and put together every night for work the next day. So I recently started making a huge bowl of salad on Sundays and leave it in the fridge. Then every night before work I just fill up my Tupperware container and lunch for the next day is done. Prep once, have it for the week! Hope this is helpful to some of you, and if you already did this..why didn't you tell me??!!!

Confession time: if we didn't have in the house I'd be eating a Pop-Tart or nothing at all for breakfast. I had 20 minutes to get up and out of the house! Oops! Yay for and for being bound by the bus schedule!

I have to laugh at the fact that 80% of my shirts don't quite stretch all the way over the belly! Only a few more weeks until our little girl is here. I can't wait to meet her, and I have to admit...I can't wait to get back to daily workouts!! What was your first post-pregnancy workout?

True story and kinda long post alert!
It's a bit hard being a Beachbody coach when you're pregnant- at least with a high risk pregnancy. I'm not allowed to take part in all the great products that have come out lately. I also have no recent before and after pics, because they would only show me growing larger (with very good reason!).
These are my own results from my very first challenge group way back when. I wasn't even a coach yet. I had no idea what I was doing. But I ordered, followed the workout schedule and nutrition plan that came in the package with my workout, and committed to it everyday. Not so bad results for being clueless, right?
So- I do know what it's like to want to lose weight and feel better, and be nervous about whether this stuff will really work. After all- you're putting your hard earned money on the line! I researched the crap out of Turbo Fire before I bought it and was still skeptical (thank goodness for the 30 day money back policy).
Like this post for details on how to get started yourself, and you can have your own transformation pics. And little ole me can live vicariously through you until 6 weeks after I give birth :)

As you may or may not know- I'm not allowed to work out. At all. Doctor forbids it. And lately walking the 3 blocks to work is a challenge in itself. So- the only thing I can do is try to focus on my eating. Really, really hard to do when everywhere I turn I spell someone cooking a delicious burger, or see them making grilled pizzas with extra cheese, or smores over the fire. Plus even not being pregnant I love food. I love eating it, cooking it, I'm obsessed with the Food Network. So.......

I'm opening up a 30 day challenge focusing on clean eating, getting healthy, shedding a few extra pounds quickly, and feeling great! The challenge will start with Beachbody's new 3 day "REFRESH", followed by a month of healthy eating. We'll be focusing on healthy recipes for the BEST way to cook in the summer heat...the GRILL! That's right- we'll be focusing on FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm pregnant- I love food. No specific workout required- I can't tell you to if I can't- I practice what I preach! If you have an event coming up (maybe a summer wedding or a vacation)- this is a fun and quick option for you.

Like this post or message me for the full details- but hurry...we start July 14 and space is limited :)

Have a to give a huge shoutout to the newest Emerald coach on our team! She's an inspiration to many- including myself! She's dedicated, smart, and one of the sweetest people I've ever met! Congrats Jen you deserve this more than anyone!! Only up from here!

I pride myself on being a strong woman, and also surrounding myself with them. Doesn't mean I don't worry about things, overthink, or get scared. It means if I see a problem, I try my best to fix it. If I don't like how something is going, I change it, or at least know I am capable of doing just that. Doesn't mean I'm perfect either- I'm far from it. And I think my flaws make me even stronger.
I'm looking for one more strong woman to add to our growing Beachbody team. Want to change your life? You need the courage to take that first step. Design your own life. I'm doing it for my little princess to be. Maybe you just hate your job? Or your commute? Or feel you were destined for something greater? Like this post for details on how to join us- we are just getting started!

I'm truly starting to believe in this! I saw 3 instances yesterday alone where positive thinking and faith created amazing outcomes. So- believe in yourself and what you are doing, dream big, and I'm convinced the red will come.
Btw- if you've never read this book or seen this movie, I highly suggest it!

I seriously have to be more consistent about posting on here. One of these days I will get it together LOL!
Pretty much my entire pregnancy my doctors have been telling me how many benefits yoga has- for both pregnant peeps and those that are not. But the truth? It usually bores me to tears. Which is why I'm pretty excited by the new PiYo workout released today. Part yoga/part pilates, low impact, but with my favorite, funnest trainer even- Chalene Johnson (aka the Turbo Fire and Chalene Extreme lady). If this doesn't get me to get the yoga thing going, then nothing will!
Want the details or even a little sneak preview?? Send me a message or comment below

OMG!! I'm not one to do a ton of posts about Beachbody sales, but the really huge once a year summer sale starts today! Some of my favs like Les Mils Combat (think kickboxing) are really really super cheap. Aka I wish I paid this price for them. Comment below, like or message me if you want the full details and prices. The sale goes "live" in about 2 hours, and its only while supplies last, which is usually less than a day. Love me a good bargain!
