I am currently running my Fab 5 Challenge with an awesome group of women and men who are all doing either P90X or Insanity. They are TOTALLY killing it! The best part is that they are teaching me new things about eating healthy and preparing meals too! One of my challenge participants, Shannon Parker is super organized and efficient at planning her meals each week and doing the prep work. She spends all day on Sunday cooking and measuring out her servings for the week. She puts everything in baggies and tupperware so that she can just grab it and go. She works full time and is planning a wedding so a big key to her success is planning ahead of time! She really feels like if she does the prep work there is no room to fall off the wagon because she doesn’t have a snack or food prepared! If you are a busy person or just someone who needs a little structure then this is the girl to follow! She is doing amazing things and it shows not only in her outward appearance but in the energy and excitement she has when she talks about eating clean and getting fit!
This is my new breakfast everyday!! haha well not that “new” just altered a bit. I’m now addicted to hard boiled egg whites with Red Hot (instead of scrambled egg whites) and my steel cut oats with diced Honeycrisp Apples, crushed unsalted cashews & cinnamon!! Who needs apple crisp????!!!!
This is an example of my “snack packs”. I usually make some up on Sundays when I do the rest of my cooking/prepping for the week, but sometimes we run out (especially because Dave is on board as well). So I made up some last night & decided to share. From left…Diced peaches & cucumbers, makes it easy to just open & pour on my oats & cottage cheese instead of having to cut in the morning. Cucumber spears, like pickles without all the sodium!! Red grapes, my fav!! Fresh raspberries, I rinse and then store in container on paper towel or else they will get mushy and gross. I find that having these packs all ready to go in the fridge have helped me tremendously. So when I get a craving, It’s easy & healthy!!!! Enjoy!!
This is my usual breakfast, I’m addicted to Steel cut oats with almonds & raisins, egg white w/ 1/2 yolk (getting away gradually) haha, and lemon water!! This morning I changed it up and diced up a 1/2 peach w/ cinnamon in my oats!! ahhhh dessert for breakfast!!!
I am so proud of Shannon for all the hard work she is putting into this challenge! She is showing true dedication to making a change in her life. She will reap the health benefits for the rest of her life. She will have more energy, she will be stronger and more mentally alert because she is feeding her body with the things it needs to work efficiently.

When I first signed on to be a Beachbody coach my only goal was to transform 1 persons life drastically! Now, I can proudly say that after 4 months I have successfully transformed a number of peoples lives and that is the greatest feeling in the world! I absolutely love watching people take the knowledge that I share and apply it to their lives. Everyone puts their own unique spin on it and creates success for themselves. It all started with a little commitment on their part and now the possibilities are endless! I LOVE MY JOB!
