Vacation Review + P90X3


Hello!  We got back from Miami Tuesday night, it was such a great trip.  We got to stay with our friend Joe who moved down there last summer.  He lives in a beautiful high-rise on the 37th floor and the view was spectacular (although I was freaked out about Ariana being on the balcony).  There was a gorgeous pool area we spent a few days at and even a gym where I got in 2 workouts.  I know I said I wanted to get 4 in, but it just didn't work out that way.  Ariana was very clingy and the one day I went during her nap she woke up really upset.  Such is the life of a mom, she comes first, so I didn't get any others in.  My eating was pretty good the beginning of the week and kind of tapered off toward the end.  I am back on track now, and it really made me realize how much better I feel when I am working out and eating clean.  We also did a few days at the beach which was awesome and it was so hard to come back to this cold weather.  Hopefully Spring gets here soon!  Are you able to stay on track when you are on vacation?


Today I started P90X3!  It was a challenging workout, and there were 2 exercises that require a pull up bar, which I don't have, so I modified with how they showed on the DVD.  It was hard following along the first time since it is all new, so once I get through each workout once, I know I can push a little harder.  I had some energy left and did a quick 20 minute tabata workout to get my metabolism going again after taking so long off from my workouts.  It was also slowing back down because I wasn't eating consistently throughout the day.  So, that has changed today and I am back to at least 3 meals and 2 snacks.  I am also doing Shakeology, with the P90X3 program and will use it as a meal/snack replacement daily, it has a ton of superfoods in it as well.  If you want more info check out my Shakeology site and feel free to ask me any questions.  It tasted great, I just blended it up with water ice and 1/2 a banana.  I will keep you updated throughout my 90 days and if you are doing a program or just getting your workouts in tell me about it!  I have also started a Facebook Group for accountability and motivation, send me a message on my Facebook page and I can add you. 

Beachbody has so many different programs to choose from, I chose P90X3 for the challenge and to push myself for 90 days and keep my nutrition tight (it comes with a nutrition guide) and see how awesome my results are!  I am ready to give 100%!  If you want more info about any Beachbody program you can check out my Coach site, or send me an e-mail.  Tell me what your goals are for this year, are you working on becoming the best you possible?  I would love to hear from you!


Have a healthy and fit day,

I'm a Beachbody Coach + Square Bar Review


Hello Fitness Fam!  I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday so far!  I am so excited because I have awesome news to share!  I am a new Beachbody Coach, and today I received my P90X3 Challenge pack!  I signed up this week with Lindsey, a coach I met on Instagram, she is so motivating and even gets up at 4:45 am to workout before her two boys get up!  Now that is dedication!  She and I have so much in common and I am excited to be on her team and learn more about Beachbody and how to help others in their fitness and weight loss goals.  I feel like my experience as a personal trainer is a perfect fit with Beachbody.  They have so many awesome workouts DVDs to fit every goal and fitness level. 


I am going to start with P90X3 challenge pack which comes with 30 days of Shakeology, I was thrilled to find out they have a Chocolate Vegan option, if you remember, I can't tolerate whey (my tummy hates it!)  The P90X3 comes with everything you need to be set up for success, a fitness and nutrition guide, a CD book with all your workouts, and a calendar with what workouts to do on which day.  It takes all the guess work and excuses out of hitting your goals.  I can't wait to get started with this program once we get back from our vacation to Florida. I am even going to get my hubby to do some of the workouts with me!

I will also be starting up a P90X3 Challenge group in March, if you are ready to get in the best shape of your life or kick your fitness up a notch, send me an e-mail about joining or for more info.  I am excited for this next journey in my fitness career!

Squarebar Review


If you are on Instagram, chances are you have heard about Squarebars.  I contacted them about trying and reviewing their bars for you guys and they sent me one of each flavor, Cocoa Coconut (My FAVE!), Cocoa Crunch, and Cocoa Almond.  I tried the Cocoa Coconut and fell in love!  It has such a great chocolate flavor, and if you know me you know I love chocolate, and the coconut flavor was perfect not too overwhelming, but you knew it was in there.  I enjoyed the other two flavors as well, the Cocoa Almond has bits of almond which gave it a crunch, and the Cocoa Crunch, as stated in the name, had organic brown rice crisps that made it crunchy as well.  I will definitely have a few on hand to grab as a quick healthy snack paired with an apple.  Sometimes life gets hectic and it is nice to have something healthy and nutritious to throw in your purse (or diaper bag) when you are on the go.  I would even grab one for Ariana since she loves chocolate, I wonder where she gets that from, and they are healthy for her too.

Here are the MANY reasons why I love these bars:
1) They have 11-12 grams of vegan protein
2) They are Organic and Non-GMO
3) They are gluten free, dairy free, and soy free
4) They have coconut oil which is a healthy fat and helps to keep you full
5) They are all whole food ingredients

You can find these yummy bars at your local Vitamin Shoppe or online at Vitacost.com. 
Thanks to Squarebar who sent me a few to try, I am definitely a new customer!
