Today is a NEW JOURNEY for me... you are probably wondering WHY, right ?? 

Well..... today is day 1 of changing some things in my diet. As of today I am not eating dairy, wheat/bread, and no gluten! I will be limiting alcohol, which is going to be hard this month only because it's my 32 bday in 9 days and I will be heading to Nashville in about 2 weeks BUT I'm focused and will be keeping myself accountable. I also have a ton of friends that are going to be super supportive and that are keeping me motivated and accountable. I'm also starting a new program which will last for 90 days! 

My meals are prepped for the week and I'm ready to begin my next fitness journey. You can follow my fitness journey in the next 90 days here or on my like page at https://www.facebook.com/beautifullyfit4life/?fref=ts

4 Things to Do for Your Health  This Summer

1. Give Your Diet a Berry Boost
If you do one thing this summer to improve your diet, have a cup of mixed fresh berries -- blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries -- every day. They'll help you load up on antioxidants, which may help prevent damage to tissues and reduce the risks of age-related illnesses. Blueberries and blackberries are especially antioxidant-rich.

A big bonus: Berries are also tops in fiber, which helps keep cholesterol low and may even help prevent some cancers.

Hint* Shakeology is a GREAT berry boost :) 

2. Get Dirty -- and Stress Less
To improve your stress level, plant a small garden, cultivate a flower box, or if space is really limited, plant a few flower pots -- indoors or out.

Just putting your hands in soil is "grounding." And when life feels like you're moving so fast your feet are barely touching the stuff, being mentally grounded can help relieve physical and mental stress.

3.Vacation Time!

Improve your heart health: take advantage of summer's slower schedule by using your vacation time to unwind.

Vacations have multiple benefits: They can help lower your blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormones such as cortisol, which contributes to a widening waist and an increased risk of heart disease.

4. Get Outside to Exercise
Pick one outdoor activity -- going on a hike, taking a nature walk, playing games such as tag with your kids, cycling, roller blading, or swimming -- Even take your Beachbody workout OnDemand and workout in the park! 

And remember, the family that plays together not only gets fit together -- it's also a great way to create bonding time.

Do you LOVE your life? Like really LOVE it to the point that you are EXCITED to hop out of bed to start your day tomorrow? Race to your job on Monday?!

Does your job allow you to make your own schedule? To DECIDE when you are going to come and go from work? 

Are you SURROUNDED by the most incredible, inspiring people that you've ever met? People who lift you up everyday and help you reach your goals and dreams?!

IF you said NO to any of these.... Then maybe.. just maybe it's your time to find something NEW that allows you to scream YES to it all!! 

Freedom- YES!
Purpose- YES!
Living your life by your own design- YES!! 

I am mentoring 10 women who want to experience this FREEDOM along side of me. 10 women to make life better with CHANGE!!!! 

We will work 1:1 together this year to set small goals and reach them. Gaining confidence and momentum each day, week, month.. leading up to an incredible year. The training will include one-on-one calls, access to EXCLUSIVE documents, private training groups, etc.

Losing weight isn't about starvation! It isn't about deprivation it's about eating clean healthy foods, exercising, & working hard at both everyday!

Meal prepping is going down in this house... You have to plan to succeed!

Within just 2 hours I have made my menu, meal prepped, and did all my dishes!!!! It's not as hard as some people make it out to be and its becomes a habit. The more you do it the easier it gets!!!

I was also able to make my healthiest meal of the day, Shakeology, since I was getting hungry... so I prepped and drank my shake all at the same time... WHOO WHOO...

Now I can enjoy my day and not have to worry about any of it and my meals are ready for the week!

::::::SUNDAY MEAL PREP:::::::

Up and at it this morning...getting my week scheduled out and prepping my meals.

Meal prep is key if you want to succeed at losing weight....It takes practice to get the hang of planning and prepping your meals. Thankfully its much easier with my 21-day fix portion control containers and eating plan. It's so helpful and simple to follow!!! 

~ MEAL PREP TIP: Choose one meal and prepare 5 servings of it on Sunday to last for lunch/dinner the rest of the week, plus a healthy breakfast every day and healthy snacks when needed.

Feel cleaner, lighter, and healthier without starving!!! If youre looking to get a kick start on you health lifestyle the 3 Day refresh is a great place to start!!! I just completed DAY 1 of the 3-Day Refresh and feel amazing!!! I'm already feeling less bloated and gaining my energy back. 

Goodbye 2015.....

Sitting here thinking about how such an amazing year it has been!!! I've accomplished so much and made a lot of changes in my life. Here is a quick glimpse of it......

My mom, Carol Barndt came to visit to help me move out to a new apartment in the suburbs. I was ready to get out of the BIG city life I got brand new furniture (expense, nice adult furniture). Shannon Hargrave came to visit with her hubby during St. Patty's this year and we had a blast!! (SHE was suppose to move her but ended up in FL instead).... I took a trip to Traverse City for a girls weekend Winery Tour, which was amazing. Thanks to Brandi McMillan for making it happen!!! We had a blast.. tons of laughs and cries!

A few weeks later I joined all my fellow coaches in Nashville, TN for Coach Summit!!! It was my first time going to Nashville and let me tell you, it was amazing. Being able to go to Coach Summit for the 2nd year in a row was the best decision I've ever made.... I met the most amazing people and gain so many new friendships.

After coming back from Summit.....I quit my full time job at Michael Kors and decided to take a leap of faith and work on my Beachbody business full time... Within just a few months I ranked to Diamond Coach and helped SO many people with their health and fitness goals, which was so rewarding!!!!! I'm so glad that I made the choices that I did... even tho it's been a struggle .. its totally been worth it!!

Lastly...but def not least I started dating the most amazing guy ever!!! I can't wait for the New Year and I know the BEST is yet to come...
