What is Core De Force? Join my exclusive Core De Force Test Group!!
I am so excited to announce that a brand new Beachbody home fitness program is going to be launched on the 31st of October! Core De Force is a 30 day total body transformation program that will rock your world. The best part about the program is that you do NOT need any equipment! Core De Force is an MMA inspired program which includes 3 minute “rounds” where you will get boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai, knee-elbow combinations, body weight training and cardio spikes that will help you lose belly fat and shred your body. If you can focus on hitting it hard for 3 minutes at a time before you know it the workout will be over. I was given the opportunity to do Core De Force as a sneak peek twice this month and LOVED it. If you follow you me on Facebook, you know that I used to do kickboxing at the gym for over 5 years. It was the program that helped me to fall in love with fitness and exercise. I don't know about you but any workout that makes you feel bad ass and empowered is one that I want to try!! This workout gets your heart rate up, it gets you sweating and I couldn’t believe how sore I was the next day. So check out all the details here if you are interested in changing up your workout, breaking a plateau, getting started with your transformation or holding yourself accountable over the holidays. I am going to be hosting a private test group for people who are ready to join me in this 30 day program.

What is Core De Force?
Core De Force is your 30 day countdown to a total body transformation. This workout was created by Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews, it is the ultimate mixed martial arts-inspired workout that is going to really knock off the belly fat, get rid of inches and tone and tighten your entire body with no equipment. Before each workout they also provide a “learn it & work it” section that breaks down the moves so that you can learn them before you do the workout. So if you are new to the MMA style exercises this will give you confidence to go right in and kick some butt. Core De Force is also not on a beat or rhythm so you do not have follow a specific routine per se. There are modifiers in every single workout so no matter what your ability level is, you can go at your own pace. As you get stronger the goal is to challenge yourself with higher intensity and increased focus. I also like that there is no equipment needed except yourself. This is key for those that are budget conscious, don’t have a lot of room to workout or are traveling and want to workout in a hotel room.
Core De Force takes the barriers away to getting started in your health and fitness journey because it is EASY, SIMPLE to follow and all you really have to do is show up and PRESS PLAY on the workout of the day! My goal is to EMPOWER YOU AND GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE TO MAKE THE CHANGES NECESSARY SO THAT YOU CAN LIVE A HEALTHY AND FULFILLING LIFE.
Who is Core De Force For? Core De Force is for EVERYONE. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level in your fitness you can do this workout. You will enjoy the challenge of taking the intensity higher to improve your cardio strength, speed and endurance. Each MMA inspired workout has an optional move breakdown to help you get familiar with the combinations. There is also a “modifier track” so you can follow a split screen if you would like as well.
Core De Force also focuses on rotational moves which means you will work your core from 360 degrees every time you hit play. That is going to be awesome for all of us who really want to tone that trouble area!

What Is the Eating Plan Like? The nutrition guide was created to be simple, clean foods, that you can easily measure out and combine to give yourself a well balanced nutrition plan that will fuel your body with the energy it needs to crush the next workout on the schedule and get the results that you want. If you really want to know what this program can do for your body make sure that you are 100% committed to the nutrition plan because what you eat is 80% of the results that you get.
The nutrition plan follows the portion fix, but you will not receive another set of containers unless you want them! Each food category is measured out and explained in detail to you. The plan is meant to be SUPER EASY to follow so that you don’t get overwhelmed with to many options. Plus, in the test group I am hosting I am going to be walking you through the entire nutrition plan as well.
How long are the workouts?
The workouts are 30-45 minutes in length and you workout 6 days a week with a stretch on the 7th. The workout program is 30 days in length.

Shakeology Birthday Cake Energy Balls
A “birthday cake” that only takes 15 minutes to make and doesn’t require any actual baking? Yes, please!
They’re incredibly easy to make — all you have to do is place seven ingredients into a food processor, blend them together, and you’re basically done. There’s no oven time required, so if you’re one of those raw cookie dough eaters (or just looking for a healthy gluten-free snack), then this is definitely the dessert for you. (Psst — the sprinkles are just for decoration.)
Ingredients
- 1½ scoops Vanilla Shakeology
- 1¼ cups dry old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ cup all-natural smooth almond butter
- 4 Medjool dates, coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped raw almonds
- ½ cup mashed banana (about 1 large banana)
- ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine Shakeology, oats, almond butter, and dates in food processor; pulse until dates are incorporated.

As a BONUS – for every Challenge Pack sold from July 27th – August 31st, 2016, Beachbody will add $5 to the pot for up to a $3 million dollar pot!
Beachbody’s Health Bet focuses on building healthy habits.
Something so totally awesome is that in the Health Bet you aren’t focused on the scale! It’s not about weight loss or getting crazy hard abs.

How much will you win?
It will depend on how large the final pot of money will be (minimum of $1 million and maximum of $3 million) and how many people participate. So it could be $5, $15, $50 or more. Beachbody will announce the total pot amount in early September.
HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS… whether you get a big check, or just enough to buy a Chai Tee Latte, you will be a winner in that you have created the healthy habits of moving your body and drinking a healthy, nutrient filled shake! You will be a stronger, more fit, more vibrant person at the end of the month than you were when you started.

SUGAR, YOU’RE SURROUNDED, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP! (Part II)
So, my last piece on sugar focused on stats from the movie “Fed UP”,
the problems too much sugar can cause and why it’s so hard to limit sugar
intake.
Just in quick summary...
·
We, as a country, are getting way too
lackadaisical in our daily routines.
Lack of sleep, no exercise and poor nutrition are all contributing to a
growing obesity problem. And our routines, as adults, are having
negative effects on our children.
·
Going to the grocery store is almost like going
to the candy shop. 80% of the nearly
600,000 food products sold have added sugar.
How to stay away? Buy organic,
unprocessed food without a litany of ingredients. It’s the only way to go.
·
Per the AHA, limit sugar intake to 6 teaspoons
(6 cubes of sugar/24 grams) a day for women and 9 teaspoons (9 cubes of
sugar/36 grams) a day for men. Really,
this isn’t hard to do if you have the right mindset. And once you make the switch, BELIEVE ME, you
won’t want to go back. Energy levels
through the roof, less bloating, clearer mind, less cravings, increased
immunity, better digestion, the benefits go on and on.
Just
take one day and eat like you normally would, but track the sugar intake. Fruit doesn’t count, because the fiber in it
counteracts the sugar...it’s science and I won’t bore you with the details. If you drink soda, forgetta ‘bout it...there
goes the daily allowance plus some. Just
think, in a 12 oz soda there is about 40 grams or 10 sugar cubes. That would fill up about half the can! And, now soda is mostly sold in 20 oz
bottles...66 grams or 17 cubes. So, at
the end of the day, what’s the sugar intake?
Too high? Yeah, it’s not hard to
do. But there is a way to correct this.
So, how did we end up in this predicament? TV ads, magazines, and food at the grocery
store all willingly fool you into thinking low fat options are a good thing to
keep your waist trim. WRONG! When you take the fat out, there goes the
flavor. So, how do the food companies
get that flavor back in....ding, ding, ding add some sugar! Go ahead and look at any processed low fat
items you have in the house...that salad dressing, cream cheese or mayo. Sometimes it’s not much added per serving,
but it’s often double what the regular option had.
So wait, what’s worse, the added sugar or the
fat already in the processed food? It’s
often hard to pick a winner to Which-is-Worse questions, when there is no real
winner, but most nutritionists agree that excess added sugars are
unhealthier. Now, I’m not saying go eat
a pack of bacon instead of that candy bar!
When it comes to highly processed foods, many of them are high in one or
both, which makes this question relevant, but there’s a better response to
it. CHOOSE WHOLE FOODS! I’d say stay away from processed food
altogether.
Food for thought:
Why is there no % daily value allowance on the grams of sugar we take in
on nutrition labels? Maybe this will
change in the future, but for now we’re still looking at the 30 year old food
guidelines from the FDA unless we make our own smart choices.
Hopefully, by this point you want to learn a little
more about eating healthier. Maybe? Join one of my challenge groups and I’ll
give you recipes, healthy eating tips, how to curb that craving and how to become
a better YOU, all while losing some weight and getting fit. What do you have to lose besides a couple
inches?
This month I will be offering a 5 Day FREE Healthy Grilling Challenge Group. Fill out the application below to get more information on how to get added to this awesome NEW group.

Happy Anniversary To Me!!!
One year ago I started the 21 Day Fix Extreme, Clean Eating and Shakeology Journey! I had no idea at the time what I was in for when I decided to join my coaches "Leaning Out and Trimming Down" challenge group. All I knew was that I need to make some changes and after watching my coach for months it was time for me to give it a try. Within 1 week of the challenge group I knew that I wanted to be part of the Beachbody business. I had amazing success with these products last summer and wanted to share these with others. I have been sharing these amazing products with many men and women over the past year and have seen so many of them reach their own health and fitness goals. I have also been growing my own team "Taking Control One Day at a Time" over the past year and have been able to lead a group of others to start their own Beachbody business.
Looking back over the past year, I have also grown so much as an individual and have learned a lot about myself. I have had my highs and I have also had some lows over the past year but I am happy that I found my way back to what makes me happy, confident and feeling amazing. The one thing that I have shared in the past is my struggle with nutrition and binging on junk food. I honestly hate talking about that part of me because I am so embarrassed that I allowed myself to do that. I thought I had it under control and then this past winter I let stress in my life get the best of me and I allowed myself to go back to my old habits. I am definitely not proud of this but I am also human. This past year has been a huge learning experience for me. The beginning of May I finally came clean and said enough is enough and knew that I needed to make a changes yet again because when I looked in the mirror I didn't like what was staring back at me. At that point I knew it was time to go back to what worked for me before which was the 21 Day Fix Extreme, Clean Eating 80% of the time and Shakeology. Today is Day 51 and I feel amazing and the best part is I can see my body getting back to where it was. Yes, it takes time. No, it is not a quick fix. All I know is that I do not want to ever go back to those old habits again. I don't want to pass them down to my kids. I don't want to have to start over again. I want to be stronger than my weaknesses.
If you find yourself looking in the mirror and not liking what you see staring back at you, then maybe it is time to say enough is enough and join my 21 Day Fix Anniversary challenge group. We kick off on Monday, July 4th with prep-week. Fill out the application below for more details on how to reserve your spot!
