Happy Valentine's Day to all who celebrate it!

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend and that you are happily enjoying Valentine's Day with your loved ones. Even with all of the lovey dovey ness of the weekend, it still doesn't change one thing--it's time to bring tomorrow's Monday morning positivity to your inbox! Let's do this!


If you know me personally,  then you probably already know that I am a people-pleaser. It has been a lifelong battle of mine, and it has afforded me a career in customer service for many years but the key to my survival was to find the courage to say "No" to other people (especially to the people who weren't used to hearing it from me.) If this is something that you struggle with too, then this week's blog post is definitely for you.


If you have ever found yourself doing something and questioned why in the world you were doing it....you were probably trying to please someone else. Pleasing someone is different than helping someone although the two can easily be confused. 
Saying "no" doesn't make you unkind or critical if you use the word "no" responsibly and selectively.....it tells others that you value your time and your needs in how it relates to what is being asked of you in that moment or a future opportunity that just isn't conjunctive with your goals or aspirations. 
“No” gives you your power back. “No” boldly says that your time is valuable. Most of all, “No” helps you to say “Yes” to yourself. 

This week, I said "yes" to a few new things and I am learning what I am capable of when I need to be - I'm growing in ways that are aligned with my wants and there may be a  period of adjustment in applying these new choices into my current situation, but until I find that I'm sacrificing instead of growing, I chose to say "yes" to the right things.

This month of February means so many things.....everyone knows it's Black History Month....we have Ground Hog Day, Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, World Cancer Day and this year is a Leap year! Here's is a link to other February occasions: Famous February Events

For me, February marks a month long friendly competition within Team Beachbody to sell Challenge Packs  - challenge packs are the most affordable way to purchase many of the Team Beachbody products....by combining them. Example:

1 month of Shakeology :   $129 plus shipping
21day fix program only: $59 regular, $119 deluxe


a challenge pack that includes shakeology and the regular program: $140
a challenge pack that includes the deluxe program and shakeology: $180

Can you see the savings? I get a point for every challenge pack I sell in the month of February and those points go towards rewards for me, such as workout apparel, electronics, and opportunities to further my business.

How to Create a Beachbody Hybrid Workout Schedule

Image
It’s Day 28 of  INSANITY MAX:30 , and you couldn’t be more excited. You feel amazing, you look amazing, and you’re starting to think “What’s next?” Should you do another round with Super Trainer  Shaun T , or move on to a different program, like  CORE DE FORCE ? Or maybe you don’t have to choose; maybe you can combine them to create the ultimate hard-hitting total-body  HIIT  program! I have a love/hate relationship with hybrid workouts. Why? Wouldn't it ultimately be the best of both worlds? First, there are a lot of people making  Beachbody hybrids  that have no clue what they are doing.  They are just piecing random programs together and hoping for the best.  Don't get me wrong I know it's fun to do.  If you don't do it properly though you may become frustrated and wonder why you aren't reaching any of the goals you set for yourself.  One person's hybrid will not work for everyone and most likely isn't even working for them.  It needs to be

Night Time Eating Derailment - Help!

Image
Late night snacking is a deeply ingrained pattern that almost all of us have been stuck in at one point or another. Even if your goal isn’t to lose weight, eating immediately before bed is not optimal for your health. Right before bed, it’s best to only drink water or tea and allow your organs a rest period. This creates spaciousness for cellular repair, organ detox, and inflammation repair. However, when life gets real, late-night snacking isn’t always something you can avoid. You might be up late with the kids, be a shift-worker or be dealing with life circumstances that are keeping you up. Here are a few snack options you can reach to that won’t derail your weight loss efforts. All of these options are in line with the  Clean Eating  philosophy. 1. Cucumber slices with lemon juice + salt or hummus Cucumber slices are refreshing, light on the system and full of water. Sometimes just a light snack of fresh sliced veggies with a bit of hummus will be just the right amoun

4 Unique Ways to Get Your 10,000 Steps Into Your Day

Part of reaching your health and fitness goals is literally putting one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. Perhaps you are one of those people who are active outside of the office?  Be aware that sitting for extended periods of time isn’t great even for people who exercise on the regular.  That’s partially because long bouts of inactivity inhibit the flow of blood and nutrients to your muscles between exercise sessions, explains Jason Raynor, C.S.C.S., a Nike Master Trainer with the Spa at JW Marriott Chicago. Performing regular activity like walking throughout the day, however, can help your   muscles recover   and reduce exercise-induced inflammation, Raynor says. . Why Take 10,000 Steps a Day? “There’s nothing magical about the 10,000 number,” Dr. Campbell says. “The number came from pedometers sold in Japan in the 1960s. They were marketed under the name ‘manpo-kei,’ which translates to ‘10,000 steps meter.’ The 10,000 step count then just kind of cau
