Make FITNESS your BUSINESS - LIVE & ANONYMOUS EVENT online WEDNESDAY!

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Hey Everyone!! We are WELL into 2016 now, doesn’t seem possible does it!?! I know so many friends who are a little stressed out - they are still recovering from a pretty extended season where they didn’t make great food choices - and on top of it - they feel stressed out with their finances. I know I felt this way in 2013!! Can you relate? Make FITNESS your BUSINESS!!

I remember SO VIVIDLY - working HARD as a nurse, my husband serving our country, we were broke as a joke & somehow I learned to COPE with all of that by sitting on my couch EVERY - NIGHT, eating double-stuffed Oreos. I will ALWAYS remember how I felt when I just simply was DONE doing that to myself. When you are done, you are done!! I know you can relate to that if you’re still reading this.

I began my journey with Beachbody & P90X simply because I was TIRED of being a quitter & disappointed with the way I was treating my body. I was simply being lazy. I committed to my P90X and Shakeology because I NEEDED to get healthy. Not for abs. Not for clothes.

For me.

I had no clue that I was going to dive in to the BUSINESS! Literally, I had ZERO intentions of that - I simply wanted to be a CUSTOMER. But what do you know… as I plugged in to the Beachbody support community, followed my Beachbody meal plan, did my workout & drank Shakeology — I learned to replace my bad lazy habits with GOOD ones…. and there was no denying it - I WAS SEEING ACTUAL RESULTS. I remember this feeling of RELIEF - like…. oh my gosh…. whewwwwww…. I don’t HAVE to feel stuck. I can actually SEE results while I am treating my body right. I don’t have to jump through hoops - or worse - just ACCEPT the way things had always been.

Because of that, I set out to pay it forward. Truly, I just wanted to share my journey. I knew that I could help other people like me - simply by showing them that they CAN feel confident in their own skin - they CAN feel great about the way they take care of their bodies. I knew I could share the little tips I learned along my journey & that it would encourage women like me. I had a lot of friends just watching my journey - a bunch of old friends on social media saw that I cared about a healthy lifestyle & that what I was doing was working - so they asked me about it! I hosted online challenge groups & invested myself in helping them. These people started to trust me with their journey - they trusted me enough to see that if it worked for me - it could work for them, and so these friends began to purchase products through me!! It was SO exciting to be a part of their journey back to confidence!!!! These challengers would get such great results - they, like me, wanted to pay it forward - so they joined my team as coaches and began to build successful teams of their own! Network Marketing has such a weird rap. Technically, that IS what I do. But I like to look at it as a NORMAL person who saw results with INCREDIBLE products - shares that journey - and EMPOWERS other women to see that they can change too - they can reach their goals, have support & build their OWN version of successful organizations - all with my help & encouragement. Just like I was a small part of their journey as challengers - it is even MORE rewarding to be the person who encourages my coaches towards building a life of FREEDOM for their family - to be able to show them how to create more TIME-freedom and how to leave the legacy they always wanted. It’s pretty powerful stuff!! HA!! This isn’t for everyone & I am not looking for ANYone. If this isn’t for you - thats ok!!! But… if you feel that burn in your gut - like YOU are ready for more - like YOU are ready to see that you absolutely CAN achieve whatever it is you want to with Beachbody as your vehicle - all while HELPING others…. girl, I WANT TO HELP YOU DO THAT!!! It is the CHEESIEST thing ever, but I truly cannot believe that I get paid for what I do too! I’m looking for NORMAL people. Moms, young professionals, single women, recent college grads - I know I can teach you how to build your dreams - through health & fitness!! It is SO EXCITING!!!!

So, after all of that!!! HA!!! If you feel like this is TOTALLY YOU - or if you are wondering if this could POSSIBLY be you - consider this your official INVITE to come & listen in to a LIVE + ANONYMOUS webinar - where I will share with you all about this business, my team, and what it takes to get started. By building genuine relationships, connecting with others with integrity, & leading by example we have become one of the TOP TEAMS in the ENTIRE Team Beachbody Network! I can help you turn your fitness into your business - you can trust that I am COMMITTED to your success!


Come on & join me WEDNESDAY night from 9pm EST to 9:30pmEST here: https://youtu.be/XBTXPQXxLRE

Beachbody Coach: REAL LIFE Paycheck Progression

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Hey friends!! This is an open & HONEST look at my REAL LIFE paycheck progression as a Beachbody Coach. Also - worth noting - I work my booty off & care about people 😉

** EDIT: this was such a popular blog post from my OLD site - I decided to bring it back over for all the PINTEREST friends pinning it! This post was written at 1.5 years into my journey - and we just hit our 3 year mark - so you can IMAGINE the growth!

{BLOG POST FROM AUGUST 2014}

……..

This morning I really am full of gratitude.

Loren & I have come a long way in the 3 short years we have been married. One of the biggest blessings to our lives & to our marriage has been what Beachbody has provided.

As I was going over our budget from July… I was absolutely SHOCKED with how much debt we were able to pay off.

It made me think…

I thought of how inspiring it is to see motivated people succeed in life, to be doing well, and for them to share that with others. I thought about sharing income which I have before, but honestly I think this hits home MORE for me… and probably some of my friends in the same boat as well.

I want to show you what REAL LIFE expenses we have been able to cover because of the income Beachbody has provided us.

I’m pretty open & vulnerable about these things SPECIFICALLY because I KNOW there are women out there who were/are JUST like me.

You feel trapped, convinced that “good enough” is your destiny, and completely UNSURE of how you could ever reach a healthier financial standing without a BIG portion of LUCK dealt to you.


Well here ya go….

The first month I became a coach, I was able to pay for my Shakeology & for the NEXT fitness program I wanted to do after P90X.

Month 4: my Beachbody income paid for our RENT in San Diego + my KIA car payment + the cost of both Loren & my Shakeology orders.

Month NINE: we covered the cost of both Shakeology orders, both car payments, RENT and we were able to pay for $1,000 of my dental work debt.

Month 12: we were able to pay for ALL of our monthly bills PLUS an additional $2,000 of debt payoff with our Beachbody income.

Month 19 was this last month. We were able to cover everything above + we paid off $10,000 in debt!! I was BEYOND floored by that number. In addition we paid for our office furniture in cash + an oversized comfy reading chair for our bedroom.

EDIT: Since then ^^ we have JUST hit out 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY with Beachbody & this business could NOT be more amazing!!!! This opportunity is absolutely SURREAL!!! I hit 6 figures in a year, Elite Coach in 2014, was an Elite Top Ten Coach in 2014, and finished Elite & #11 in 2015!! We contribute 5 figures a week and JUST had our highest paying week this past week (FEBRUARY 4th, 2016!) — and ALL because of WORKING HARD to HELP OTHER PEOPLE.

Its amazing to me to look at this summary. I can say that I am VERY proud of my team {Dynasty United} & my family for the hard work that we’ve given. I can also say 100 times over all of the hard work was 100% worth it & ABSOLUTELY something that can be duplicated.

Those are the new coaches I am looking for. I’m looking for women who feel a little trapped, want something more, want to contribute to OTHERS all while helping their families. I want to help women who were like me…. they KNOW there is something BIG inside of them… they are coachable, positive, and willing to TRY. They want to pursue a BETTER version of themselves and become strong, positive, successful people who focus on OTHERS with INTEGRITY.

I am looking for ten new coaches to mentor, every month. If you are ready to see what this opportunity can do for YOUR family {and stop reading what its doing for MINE} then apply with the link below to my next mentorship group.

*This is only for MY new coaches

Seee….. I’m normal 😉

Thanks for reading and I hope you will go ALL in for you & your family!

XOXO,

Get in SHAPE for SPRING - Fit Family Challenge Group!

Posted on by • 0 Comments

I just counted - and there are just over 40 days until SPRING! Are you READY to get in shape for SPRING? I can help you if you are ready to tackle some weight loss goals & if you want to TONE UP everywhere!

WAHOOOO!!!!!!

These were my results from 2 rounds of 21 Day Fix Extreme - 42 days total of TONING and TIGHTENING.

HOW CONVENIENT!!! 42 days worth of commitment!!

I’m a Beachbody coach - but before that, I was a Beachbody CUSTOMER who needed to see RESULTS. I needed to see that this stuff WORKED.

These are the kind of results that are possible with:

A 30 MINUTE home workout program
Following a simple meal plan with NORMAL food
Using a cute color-coded container system to learn portions
Drinking a superfood smoothie (or smoothie bowl) daily
And checking in with my fit family challenge group too!
.
Don’t worry - I’ll set you up with all your tools
.
The first picture below was before I started 21 Day Fix Extreme. This was after the holidays - after traveling to Germany - and after vacationing in Florida for 2 months! Things got LAX people.
.
21 Days later - striped sports bra…. I was feeling MUCH better & much more like myself. During this round, I just followed the normal meal plan that came with the program.
.
I did a second round a week after that, and I followed the Countdown to Competition meal plan - which is just VERY simple and VERY structured. I did it - the whole way through and LOVED my results. Less than 2 months commitment, you guys!!!
.


I’m a coach who is RESULTS focused. I host challenge groups every single month on Facebook for this #1 purpose - to help people get results. The #2 purpose would be to create an online community where these people feel supported & encouraged WHILE they get their results. You can do this!! I guarantee I can help you get awesome results too!!
.
I host private, online Challenge Groups every single month, usually twice. I never skip. Ever. Because people need help!!! And I’m HAPPY to give it!!
.
From one CUSTOMER to another - this is worth your time - worth your money - and I will help you get real RESULTS.
.
I have a challenge group coming up - and I have about 6 spots left! We start DAY ONE on February 15th - so you gotta snag your spot & RSVP by Monday, February 8th. Have a plan after Super Bowl, people!!

6 spots left
RSVP by February 8th
Loose the fluff & get YOUR results!!
I’m RE-committed with you!!

Fill this out if you want to chat details or want to be considered for one of those last spots: bit.ly/GetFitwithBrit

Let’s do it together!!

PS: is anyone else starting to look at bikinis on Pinterest!!!? HELLO - MOTIVATION!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary Dynasty United!!

Posted on by • 0 Comments

🌤Today is a normal day…. just like every other.

Except it isn’t.

Today marks my 3rd anniversary as a Team Beachbody Coach. January 14th, 2013. 🗓

Hoo-Rah! Happy Anniversary Team!


It’s just a NORMAL thing for me to feel grateful everyday. Today, just like everyday, I am extremely appreciative of this company, this network, Dynasty United, my challengers, and the journey God has laid out for me.

I’ve been living out my PASSION of helping women for THREE FULL YEARS now.

💉I haven’t started an IV, called a doctor for orders, done CPR, charted I&O’s, or done a pain assessment for 2.5 years. I miss so much of it - but I have so many opportunities to do work that is parallel with my nursing career. My potential reach - is now much further.

I never set an alarm clock, unless I want to.
I work with some of my best friends.
I get to create.
I mentor.
I encourage - for a LIVING!

I want to tell you a little story about the most impactful thing I learned to do in my business. It is so special to me - so I talked to my team about it today - and I continue to practice this skill, even now.

As a new coach - I visualized. 👀

In 2013 - I started with my WHY.

I didn’t know a THING about being a coach, being a leader or entrepreneur; I knew nothing about social media. People doubted me. Friends were annoyed by me. I messed up a ton. I sacrificed a lot. I didn’t know if I’d succeed.

But I DID know why I chose to become a coach….
1. Accountability for my own fitness
2. My family (more time & freedom)
3. To help WOMEN & their families

From there… I developed POSITIVE AFFIRMATION statements… in the PRESENT tense … I wrote out how I felt when I was living out my why. (Remember this was in 2013 - before I made a dime or had a CLUE how to build a business. It was all in the FUTURE! It’s all about that VISION!) 🚂

I read these statements every single day. I visualized every single morning. My morning went like this:
P90X in tiny apartment
Mix up delicious recovery formula
Sit on apartment tiny balcony with Ruca
Visualize

And it set me up for success - not just financially… but in my mind. I WON in my mind before I even stepped into “the arena”. So I didn’t care when people told me I was crazy - or said no - or misunderstood. I KNEW WHY I WAS DOING THIS. 🏆

Eventually friends & family came around & saw my passion & reason for doing this. But they didn’t get it at first, that’s fine. I don’t need someone’s permission to accomplish MY dreams…. Do you?🎟

These were my positive visualization statements that I read OUT LOUD every morning for 10-15 minutes. Remember… I was doing this as a NEW coach who had NO success under her belt….

It’s incredible that what I visualized in 2013 is ACTUALLY the life I LIVE today. That’s powerful!

1. As a coach, I feel strong, happy, empowered, loved, relieved, confident & at peace because I have balance in life with fitness & nutrition.

2. As a coach, I feel significant, exhilarated, overjoyed, valued & excited because I am helping military wives improve their quality of life during deployment & helping improve their financial standing.

3. As a coach I feel accomplished, enthusiasm, relieved, responsible, overjoyed, significant, happy, honored, excited, & loved because we are changing our future financially before we even have kids.

☁There is a difference between DREAMING and VISUALIZING☁

When you visualize - you GO THERE in your mind first, and then you align your actions. You ACT on it. You become rooted and CONFIDENT in the reason you are working so hard. 🌱

I am so excited to think about the 2013 ME’s out there. 🙋

I think about the women who are sick of quitting. They want more for their families. They want more for themselves. They know they can help others, somehow. They know they can love the life they live. They are willing to work hard & are ready to go after what is possible.

I think about THEM every day.

Each 6am zoom call.
Each 2am creative project.
Every email, graphic, video, template.

I think about them.

I picture them making 6 figures in a year & FREAKING OUT.
I picture them feeling prepared for their future & CRYING out of RELIEF.
I think of the happier marriages without MONEY FIGHTS.
I think of the future babies who have their PARENTS at every milestone reached, game played, and doctor appointment.
I think of the TRAVEL they will experience.
I think of the RIPPLE EFFECT they will have as they generously give to others in need.

On January 14th, 2013 - Dynasty United started with just one person, me.

Now, I can’t even believe my eyes when I see what this team has done & how it’s grown. It is the biggest blessing in our lives & a true JOY to be a part of. 🙆🏼

Happy Anniversary Dynasty United!! ☀

Top Coach : How to Cope with Failing

Posted on by • 0 Comments

This isn’t a fluffy post. This is a real post about how I cope with failing. So, there’s your heads-up!!

This past weekend I had a morning that felt like one of those brand new mornings where God has washed away the old & reminded me yet again that Jesus provides a clean slate.

My husband has been my rock through every trial, challenge, triumph & failure. Then…. I got to add in three of my very best friends who not only understand ME but they understand the disappointment I feel - and they know first hand the kind of work that goes into a year that my incredible team had.

When you put so much heart into what you do every day - you’re in it. No escaping that.

The bigger the goal / The harder the fall.

I won’t ever post on social media pretending to not be sensitive, vulnerable or affected by failure. I am. Because I’m human.

Far too often we see successful people - and in the Beachbody world we see 15 Star Top Ten - top earning coaches who just look like they have it all together & there isn’t a single BLIP on their journey. To me - that’s intimidating.

I am an emotional person already. Lol. So add in this all out fight in 2015 + sacrifice + belief + hard work and to just not come out victorious the last week of the year - there’s no pretty way to put it. It sucks. It stings. And it shook me.

When three of my best friends walked into my office yesterday morning after pretending to be getting onto a video hangout with me - I lost it all over again. They made a decision within 15 minutes & flew from FL to VA to just be with me.

Somehow talking with them helped me figure out where all this emotion was coming from. Why was I so affected by this EVEN THOUGH I’ve “prepared” for the possible outcomes? I got to work through it - no judgement - just love & understanding.

Wednesday I heard the news that after 17 straight months of being in the Top Ten - our team lost our spot and was passed up {by a DESERVING team} in the last week. It’s not about the number. It’s about the sacrifice & vision that just did not pay off.

Craig from corporate drew the short straw and had to make probably the worst call of his year telling me that we finished #11. Poor guy.

Jeremy Redd called me a few hours later & just talked with me while I cried. He’s mentored me the entire year & there was just no way I could hold back with such fresh news.

Jeff Hill then called me and offered me just about the perfect analogy. He has a way of just sharing with you and making you feel valued and understood.

Later on I started to receive messages from people like Jenelle Summers, my success partners, voice memos some of my best friends in the network like Chelsea Pearson. A voicemail from the top coach in the network, Melanie Mitro. Voicemails & texts from Candice & others from my team - my FRIENDS. My team presented an incredible video to me at Super Saturday & corporate gifted us a beautiful bouquet of flowers with recognition. Flowers from my success partners. AND THEN THESE THREE JUST SHOW UP IN MY VIRGINIA OFFICE FROM FLORIDA.

 

I have not lost - not in the least.
I’m loved.
I’ve learned.
I will return the favors.


 And I will put this lesson to use & continue to do what I feel God has laid out for me to do - I will do it with the same commitment & dedication …. no matter how hard the fall.

I appreciate the community that I am in & no words could ever describe the way God used all of you to lift me back up & remind me that it’s PEOPLE that matter the very most to me.

Whole-hearted CONGRATULATIONS to this year’s Top Ten coaches - their teams & their leaders!

CONGRATULATIONS DYNASTY UNITED FOR AN AMAZING YEAR & AN ALL OUT FIGHT TO THE END!

Forever grateful for each family represented.

I wouldn’t believe it, if it weren’t mine - 327% raise through fitness!

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Yea - you read that right. 327% raise through fitness.

Loren & I were sitting by the fire on New Year’s Eve, watching movies & goal setting for 2016 - we were cheering on our TEAM as they were still reaching for GOALS in 2015! AND we were recovering after hosting our entire family for Christmas! HAHA! {introverts!}

I got to looking around & focusing my attention on GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION for all that 2015 brought us - in life lessons, opportunities, friendship, success and financial growth.

2015 can be summed up for ME in just a few phrases.
▪Surrender
▪Inner Strength
▪Hard Freaking Work
▪Resilient
▪Genuinely caring for others

Our team was officially named a 2014 Top Ten team, Loren came back from deployment that year, I accomplished big fitness goals, I traveled to France with my bestie for the Top Ten trip of a lifetime, Dynasty United became a 15 Star team while I was in France, was invited to speak at Summit, spoke at Leadership, I moved us into a new home while Loren was gone, made new friends & strengthened other awesome friendships within this amazing community, I took 18 of my leaders to Myrtle Beach and showed them our appreciation for all they do, we stayed a Top Ten team EVERY month in 2015, we became TOTALLY DEBT FREE, and Loren & I found inner strength through being separated so much. Our team ended up being the #11 team in the network - being passed up in the last week of the year! HAHA!! #brutal

From a NUMBERS perspective….. it paid off, though. From MONTH to MONTH - it didn’t always FEEEEEEEL like it was paying off. Because, well, hard work is hard work!!!

I missed SO many goals. I made MISTAKES as a leader. At times, I struggled with comparison. I missed my husband most weeks out of the year but I had this incredible team - these friendships - who really lifted me up & helped me in ways I could never fully express. I focused my energy on HELPING my challengers find their confidence again - from the inside out. They got HEALTHY!! They lost the extra weight!! My leaders SOARED in their OWN businesses & my newbies began to see how THEY can make their business truly their OWN. I’ve grown more as a person this year than any other year in my life.

What a rewarding year!!

So… a 327% weekly pay increase….. it was worth it. I compared the FIRST week’s pay of 2015 with the LAST weeks pay (this past week) and the increase was mind blowing. This isn’t even including Loren’s business center pay. If it weren’t my own, I wouldn’t believe it either.

The financial reward catches up with the HARD WORK. I know it doesn’t feel like it - but that compound effect DOES. KICK. IN.

You just have to stay the course & focus on people.

Don’t be easily discouraged.
Don’t fall over when the wind blows - because it will.
Focus on what you can LEARN from each set back - and you will be UNstoppable.

It’s not always pretty. It’s certainly not easy. Most won’t understand at first.
BELIEVE in AMAZING POSSIBILITIES for your family - because they are there!!

My family is JUST getting warmed up & I sincerely can’t wait for MORE time with my beau!

If you are ready to talk about YOUR family & what YOU can accomplish in your OWN Beachbody business - message me!! I’m hosting a brand new training group next week! You’ll learn HOW to build your business & have fun while you’re doing it heart emoticon I’m an introvert - but I KNOW how to mentor you in building your OWN successful business. I know not EVERYONE had a wonderful year in 2015 - but how AMAZING is it to know that its YOUR decision to make a choice that could forever CHANGE your family’s life!

WHY DON’T YOU JOIN US THIS YEAR!!?!? {click here or apply below!}

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE - this is YOUR life!! LIVE IT!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Turning a bad experience into a learning experience…

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Well, this has definitely been a learning experience. As many of my friends, family & team know - my social media was compromised by hackers on Wednesday afternoon. I’ve been completely locked out of all of my pages, groups, team events, and conversations via the big F-B. Now, I know they do this as an IMPORTANT security measure. But, unfortunately that means I am completely locked out of the lifeline to my business.

 

You know what I was most bummed about?

When I woke up on Thursday morning to see that my account was still “temporarily locked” I was so bummed that I couldn’t publicly recognize some of the COACHES on my team. I wanted to share on my page all that they are doing with their teams - because it is SO awesome - and I can’t. I just have to wait. I want to celebrate my coaches in the best possible way & give them the biggest virtual hug… but we just have to wait.

 

Please, I’m not going to lie & tell you I’ve been cool, calm & collected over all of this. I mean, this is where my business flourishes!! This is where I get to meet new people & help them on their journey! On the outside, I’ve remained calm. On the inside - I’ve cycled through a series of FREAK OUT - going to be fine - IT’s OVER - it’s going to be fine.

 

I’ll be putting a video together sharing my experiences and what I wish I would have known - that way hopefully I can save my team from some of this headache.

 

We went to church on Sunday morning {which was Day 5 of no access to my main social media…. aka on the verge of LOSING IT} and we talked about a ton. But one of the most important lessons I took away from that morning - something I could EASILY apply to my life is this… when I am going through a TOUGH time… simply ask myself - WHAT DOES THIS EXPERIENCE MAKE POSSIBLE? Because the questions we ask ourselves frame how we interpret our lives.

 

With that sermon in my head & questions in my heart - I made a decision to control the controllable but even more, I decided to be PROactive in finding solutions, NOT freak out and waste energy there, but to give this all I have in order to prepare my team for possible hiccups in their own businesses. I have no fear of losing my business or suffering any long term effects - I TRULY just do not want to miss a beat in celebrating + supporting my team / encourage and coaching my challengers / and building new friendships with women who need what I’ve found. That motivates me to work very hard to find solutions - so if you think of it, keep this in your thoughts & prayers - it would be so appreciated!!

 

This weekend we had fun together. Loren leaves again for another month so we had Christmas pictures taken, we soaked up some puppy love, picked up a tree, got the truck stuck in the mud, decorated our home, finished picking out details for our guest rooms, and just had a lot of fun together. He is so supportive & this situation irks him just as much as it does me, but we are staying positive & doing what we can!

 

So, like I said, Loren & I spent a ton of time together over the last 5 days just shopping for small details for the house. We both love decorating & design - so this was a ton of fun. We ended up finding a ton of Black Friday deals {and we aren’t even “BLACK FRIDAY PEOPLE”!)

We live around a lot of FARM LAND - so it was fun to drive down to a tree farm this year and pick out our tree. The smell of a real Christmas Tree is what happiness smells like…. right?! SO good!! We spent the evening decorating our tree, finishing final travel plans for our family to come visit & listened to really weird Christmas Music on the music channels. I draw the line at dogs barking to Jingle Bells… haha! We went with a red & green theme this year. Last year, Loren was deployed and was stationed in Germany for a few weeks before doing some of the real work. It just happened to work out for me to fly to Germany for Christmas last year. It was really special to hang the German ornaments up on our tree and remember all the fun we had in Germany together!! We try to grab a Christmas ornament (or 5) from every place we visit on vacation together.

 

Our ECHO girl is getting so big!! On the left she was just 8 weeks and almost 8lbs. Now, on the right she is 12 weeks and weighing about 15lbs. She is an English Cream Retriever & the sweetest little sassy pup ever!! She LOVES eating bugs and eating mulch. She’s obsessed with her sister Ruca & is getting so cuddly. Of course, WE think she’s a genius - she’s house-training & crate-training like a champ. She’s a TON of work - but we are so happy she’s a part of our family now!

This is just a random selfie of me getting excited to switch out my Target banners - from FALL to CHRISTMAS! 🙂 They really do make a banner for everything don’t they!!? I got SO sentimental when we bought this dining room table a few months ago. I immediately pictured family dinners, middle-schoolers doing homework, scratches, and game nights. I KNOW… I AM SUCH A SAP SOMETIMES!!!!

 

Here is one of the 3 guest rooms we are working on! I will blog to share details of the furniture & decor in there if anyone is interested. This is one of my favorites though - so simple & small. That little end table was made by my father-in-law & was a piece of furniture we used in our wedding. I just switched out the nobs & am obsessed with it all over again. When this daybed + trundle was delivered the other day I INSTANTLY had thoughts of cousin sleepovers. Those little mattresses!! haha! SO FUN! I still have a few things to find for the walls and shelves, but its definitely taking shape! My favorite part of the room: the bear pillow & the little table lamp. LOVE!!

 

We like to call this room the CAT ROOM 😉 This is one of the best guest rooms I’ve ever seen because the layout is so nice. You can’t see the other corner but there is a big space to the right with a walk-in closet. We really wanted a room with reclaimed wood furniture. We fell in love with this set the other month & have been adding little details to it over the past few weeks. It’s coming along!! That random carved chair in the right corner - you’re like… what the heck is that? Yea, I know, because I asked the same thing. LOL. It’s a chair, hand carved from one of the villages Loren was staying in, in Africa. It means a lot to me because it symbolizes to ME that our family can do tough things together.

 

Its good to find JOY despite challenges and trials. I know God has gone before me here.

 

My social media problem is not the end of the world - there are much worse things. It is an opportunity for me to learn & to grow. And that’s what I am going to do!

 

A learning experience doesn’t always have to make sense at first.

 

I won’t let it slow me down!!

We just started a brand new Challenge Group today!! Over 60 women are COMMITTED to living healthy lives & reaching fitness goals before Christmas!!! That’s inspiring isn’t it!?!?

I also just kicked off my brand new New Coach Mentorship Training - for the new coaches who just joined my team & want to learn how to turn their fitness into a business. I teach them how to become entrepreneurs who HELP OTHERS for a living. Its the best job in the world!!

 

… AND….. the new fitness program The Master’s Hammer & Chisel launches TOMORROW!!!!!!! This is going to be SUCH an excellent program!!! If you are interested in more information about the program - definitely reach out!!! I’m hosting a brand new fitness accountability group for this starting THIS NEW PROGRAM at the very beginning of January!! You can email me or find me on Instagram for now. You can also fill out the form in the TAB above “TAKE THE FITNESS CHALLENGE”.

 

Thanks for listening to me vent & share a little life lesson. I appreciate all the love & support on my social media!! I’ll be back in no time - one way or another!

Hey guys!!

I have to share this recipe!! My husband & I are newbies to the Hello Fresh food delivery system. We absolutely LOVE it. It works for us right now! We’ve had some GREAT meals, we’ve tried things we normally wouldn’t make & there isn’t a ton of RANDOM left overs because we are sent EXACTLY what we need for 2 servings per meal!! We receive 3 meals a week & often have leftovers to enjoy too.

I felt a little bit like WIFE-of-the-YEAR when I made this for Loren…. absolutely DELICIOUS - so I wanted to share!!

  1. Toss the snap peas on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

 

  1. Pan-sear salmon: heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Season the salmon on all sides with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the pan, skin side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for 2-4 minutes on the other side until just opaque in the middle.

 

  1. While the salmon cooks, place the baking sheet with the snap peas on the top rack of the oven under the broiler (if you have one) for 4-5 minutes, until slightly charred.

Healthy Slow-Cooker Jerk Chicken Tacos with Caribbean Salsa:

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Ready for one of the easiest recipes for healthy chicken tacos!?

If you love EASY meals….
If your hubby like a little HEAT in his food…
If you love having a healthy meal ready for your family without the slave labor….

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS!!! Haha!! It’s DELICIOUS and SIMPLE!!! The chicken is so tender & all the flavors are really so perfect together. You could easily add or subtract from this…

{I would probably add some roasted sweet potatoes & a little corn to this to give it more of a Mexican feel}


Slow-Cooker Jerk Chicken Tacos with Caribbean Salsa:
Serves 6 – Gluten Free
Serving Size = 2 Tacos – 272 Cal – 6g Fat – 11g Sugar

Ingredients for Caribbean Salsa:
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- Kosher salt
- 1.5lbs boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

 

Ingredients for Caribbean Salsa:
- 1 large mango, diced
- ½ medium Hass avocado, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1.5 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper


12 Mission extra-thin yellow corn tortillas


FOR THE CHICKEN: Combine the garlic, jerk seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon salt & spread it over the chicken. Put the chicken, the lime & orange juices, and cilantro in the slow cooker. Cover & cook on high for 2 hours.

FOR THE CARIBBEAN SALSA: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker & shred it using two forks. Pour any liquid in the slow cooker into a bowl, then return the chicken to the slow cooker. Add ½ cup of the reserved liquid, just enough to moisten the chicken, and season with 1/8 teaspoon salt & black pepper to taste.

Heat the tortillas in a skillet set over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Fill each with 1/3 cup of chicken and 2 tablespoons of salsa.

PS - like most corn tortillas, they CAN get a little crumbly/mushy with too much liquid - so heads up on that - or if you’re not too concerned - try them with flour tortillas!

ENJOY!!!
XO,
