Tidying Up Your Fridge


I just #konmari my fridge! --well not many storage containers holding everything separately but still, it's super organized and clean! You know, from the Netflix show Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.  This past month my family has not only have chosen the clothing that sparked joy in our closets but, I took it a step further and went to my fridge. Because really, does it bring you joy to open your fridge and see the options you have for yourself in there? If not...keep reading! 

How many times have you gone to the store and over spent on foods you didn’t really need or ended up having to throw out spoiled foods from good intentions that never happened or literally have ZERO space in your fridge because you keep eating out? We used to buy all the food and go out to eat (a lot more than we budgeted for) and wasting so much money, throwing out food that went bad because we spent our hard earned $$ on groceries and eating out. 2019 Is our year to make a change! 

BEST HEALTHY LIFESTYLE ORGANIZING TIP:  To keep your fridge organized and healthier foods in your house: Only buy the foods that you know you are going to eat and use and that are the best food for your body so that by the next time you have to go to the store, your fridge is ready to be filled! That’s exactly what happened to us this past week. Even Collin was saying “MOM! We need to go to the grocery store. There’s no food!” What he didn’t realize is that I had a plan and I stuck with it. 

Using everything we had before going back to the store:

Fully Stocked:

It’s about committing to your journey and keeping your family healthy! Changing your lifestyle takes discipline and consistency. You have to make that choice to make time to meal plan in advance. Include date night, or pizza night. Or even salad from Chic-for-a. What’s on the calendar is what’s going to happen. 

Additional Tips:
1) Make a grocery list that align with the foods you are going to make and only buy foods that are on your list. 

2) Stick to your meal plan by having meals or items prepped ahead of time or making sure that your meals are easy in the first place. Or have an easy backup meal ideas that still align with your goals. If I don’t want to cook we have a YO-YO Night (you’re on your own). Kids pick what they want (usually cereal) and I have my easy to make daily superfood filled shake. 

3) Be persistent in your consistency. Just like health & fitness. Dig your heels in. Remind yourself why you want to make this change! 
You can do this!

Unique Wood Watches: The Perfect Distinguished Gift for Him or Her | Review + GIVEAWAY


I'm a busy mom of 3 always on the go and you guys. being disciplined in health and fitness and just mommy life, requires me to stay on track and on time, ALL OF THE TIME! One way I've really been successful with making sure I don't forget my daily workouts, or meals -- yes. meals because I can get so busy coaching with my virtual gym side hustle I lose track of time, or even the bus pick up so I set individual alarms on my phone. But this year I made it a personal goal to be more present in our house and working on my phone only at specific times making sure I have that balance of work and home life. It really was like the universe knew what I needed. I've partnered up with Jord Watches to help keep me on time and help me be more stylish for when I'm not sporting my workout clothes!
I have very sensitive skin and have been limited in the past on what type of bands I can use for watches. That's why I loved the idea that the Jord watches mix natural, and largely reclaimed materials, combined with quality in their movements and components. Compared to other watches I have personally tried and looked for, this is by far the most unique and stunning piece I've come across. I personally received the Conway Dark Sandalwood band with stunning details and a burgundy (I love RED!) face place.
The watches can be sized for the perfect fit, perfect for those of us that have struggled finding bands in the right sizing. And the backplate and stunning cedar humidor storage box, can be engraved to give it a more personal touch making this a perfect gift!
With Valentine's Day coming up this is the PERFECT time to get your significant other (or yourself) a new stunning timepiece that you will love for years to come! ENTER our $100 GIVEAWAY towards your favorite watch with worldwide shipping! Everyone who enters will receive 10% off! Check out the LINK HERE to see all the variety and pick which one you would love to have!

Plus Size Fitness: Core Strengthening Plank Exercises


Gone are the days of having to hold a plank for FOREVER to really activate your core! Challenge yourself with these beginning core strengthening plank exercises (yes beginning active exercises, it's best to be able to hold an isolated plank position for at least 30 seconds before moving to these active movements)

All done using floor sliders! Don't have floor sliders you can still do this. If you have wood or tilled floors you can use your most slippery socks-- or those socks you get in the hospital after having a baby-- or a towel. For carpet go get some paper plates. Only a temporary fix but it can get the job done. Want to get floor sliders and resistance loops click the links! Want to do more moves like this? Join my Transform Your Year group NOW with this STARTER KIT (floor sliders and resistance loops are included in the starter kit!) and work with me as your coach! You'll start the program that has literally changed my life and made daily exercise a habit and not a wish! Once you order your kit I'll message you and get you plugged into our community group!

Complete 10 reps of each move twice. I like to go through all 5 moves take a short break then do all 5 moves again.
