On the Eve of 2015 I am thinking about my goals for the upcoming year. New year, new chapter, bigger goals, better attitude. I have so many things I plan to achieve in 2015, mentally, personally, family, financially. It is actually a bit overwhelming when I try to think about it in my head. So I have decided to list them here...to keep myself accountable. To have a clear path of the things I need to work toward. Some are easier then others and the ones that seem easy are going to be the biggest challenges.
Top 10 Goals for 2015:
1. Spend more QUALITY time with my kids. Put away the phone, listen to them, converse with them, actually think about what they are saying and respond better.
2. Have more patience with my kids. I tend to be a hot head and immediately yell and I know this is not good for them or for myself.
3. I think #2 goes hand in hand with my 3rd goal which is to be consistent my physical fitness daily. Exercise (run, beacbody, stretch, walks, hikes anything but something 30 minutes daily.) I know that this is the key to my patience. Nomaste!
4. Eat more healthy meals at home and at work, which means more cooking...yikes ;)
5. Eliminate our debt, this is a goal I have want to be satisfied by May 2015! (besides the major big ones like my mortgage)
6. Help and inspire others to create a healthy lifestyle which of course will motivate me to do the same.
7. Have a more positive attitude about myself and others
8. Work on my personal development with books and podcasts
9. Eliminate clutter in my house...I feel like we have too much stuff.
10. Go on a date with my husband every 4-6 weeks no matter what!
I have already started working toward some of these goals when I became a coach with Team Beachbody and more specifically my actual team, TEAM BOOM has helped me get started on all these goals in 2014. I am so happy to be part of an amazing team and a company who cares about the future health of the population. Love helping others and keeping each other motivated!

Biggest Workout Trends of 2014
Welcome!! I, like many of you have struggled to lose the baby fat, muffin top, saddles bags, whatever you call it in your house. Here is my story...
I have always been into working out but after my second child the time and energy was not there like it used to be and the little i was doing was not working.
I continued to workout here and there but nothing consistent. I have friends who are beachbody coaches and continued to see there posts on facebook about working out at home and being consistent.
I had tried beachbody products in the past but never stuck to them. I was running a lot, completing, 5Ks, 10Ks, and even half marathons but still not losing the weight. Very fulfilling to be able to train and complete 13.1 miles but in the sense of weight loss not fulfilling for me. I am not sure why some people lose weight running and others it makes little difference, guess its everyone is DIFFERENT.
I finally decided to try 21-Day Fix. This was a great jump start program for me with the only 21 days of commitment. I loved this program and followed the meal plan and lost about 10 pounds. Still not feeling like I was happy with my muffin top i decided to try Shakeology with my next program PIYO. This was a game changer for me.
21 Day Fix results
I drink Shakeology in the morning as my breakfast meal and it fills me up, give me energy, curbs my cravings significantly. I also started the 60-day PIYO program in July. This is by far my favorite program. Low impact, and really stretched me out, i had developed some foot and ankle issues from all my running. This program was truly amazing. I had defined my back and shoulders like i never had before, abs started to appear and my "muffin" was FINALLY shrinking (not gone still a work in progress) but...7 years after the birth of my last baby...FINALLY!! What a great feeling!!
I completed the 60 days of PIYO and I will continue to do PIYO 2-3 days a week with any work i am doing. It is a perfect complimentry workout to every workout regime and has helped me in so many areas.
I also did 2 rounds of 3 day refresh with Amazing results!! This is a great kickstart to any program or if you need to lose a couple pounds quickly. These are my results the first time around.
I am not a fitness expert or nutrition expert, just someone who wants to share my experiences with others and try to pass along ideas and solutions that have helped me in my journey and can hopefully help and inspire others.
