So the other night, Adam and I finished a movie that came out recently on Amazon Prime called " A Million Miles Away". I had been wanting to watch it for some time and finally convinced Adam we should give it a chance. Comically, only 20 minutes in, and our 10:15 pm timer shut the [...]
Adam and I spent many years trying to figure out our budgeting system and make due with our level income with the big goals and dreams we want to accomplish but never quite felt like we were rocking it. Let's say it has felt like one of those marathons with all of the extra challenges [...]
After listening to the book Eat Smarter by Shawn Stevenson and completing a series of clean eating programs such as the Ultimate Reset and Slow Carb Diet I finally made the decision to complete a fast. The studies show so many benefits with weight loss, heart health, improved blood sugar control, brain function, and cancer [...]
Whew! I let myself get overworked and am seriously stressing myself out. Today is a good day to remember how important it is to laugh at our human moments. Taking ourselves too seriously can lead to hair loss and wrinkles. I see it in my children and how hard they are on themselves when things [...]
Finding the people who get you and share the same values is huge. We have spent many years just the two of us with a few friends, until recently. We would hang out with couples who liked hanging out and were fun to be around but never really felt that connection. I would leave feeling [...]

Waking up to a sunny yet snowy morning while my kiddos entertain themselves it's finally time get out of bed and start the day. Adam is in NYC at a conference and I'm holding down the fort. I still feel tired, and the swelling in my joints suck! It's probably the chips and salsa I [...]
I have fallen victim to my own stubbornness and have to endure the swelling and frustrating pain of a sesamoid fracture. 6 months ago I started to have a slight pain in the ball of my left foot under my big toe when I taught my Zumba classes. Instead of icing my foot and taking [...]
Let's face it, we're human and NEED humans in our day to day life. I am no stranger to loneliness. For a while, I was much too acquainted and comfortable with the idea of being lonely. It was easier to cry at night thinking of the connections I didn't have, feeling sorry for myself and [...]
The fluctuation of feeling great, motivated and on top of the world then immediately crash into the next day feeling defeated, bloated and hopeless is a reality of my world. Who knows, maybe it is something you could relate to as well. The smallest of defeats, like getting your kid to school just a couple [...]
What if you became a coach? What if you never made a penny but you got healthier, that is, you started drinking Shakeology consistently, and working out with the help of your fellow coaches. What if you started feeling better, being more present in your families lives, having more energy and just feeling ALIVE! Would [...]
