Hello May! 👙 Workout of the Month --> PLUS Detox Plan!

Hello May! I am excited for you! 🌸 Last month I started a cardio challenge and got totally burnt out. Between a new job and schedules at home (aka nap transition and no one sleeping at home), I just can't even think about doing another burpee or sprint right now. And those are the workouts I love. I even told a good friend at the beginning of the month that they were my "spirit" workout. lol. I think this was a sign my body needs a break. Or a detox!!

SO, long story short, we are detoxing this month. A mix of a nutritional overhaul and a little PiYo. Which is a mix of pilates and yoga and total body strength. And has a bonus you can totally do it barefoot on your patio in this amazing spring weather!!!

Next, let's chat detox. I recently got really into this blog called "I quit Sugar" and our habits as a family over the winter could use some improvements. So, I am doing the Ultimate Reset again. Except for this time, I am giving myself a week to detox before starting it. Which means cutting back on sugar and caffeine beforehand so it isn't as painful when the actual detox starts! You can read about my journey the first time around here:

My Story --> Keep Going! ❤️

When I first started of Beachbody I was ashamed to tell anyone. I had just had twins. Had just gone back to work and felt icky in my own body. None of my clothes fit. I was tired all the time and had no drive. I had this dark cloud hanging over me and I didn't know how to get out into the sunshine. On a whim, I started working out at 8:30pm at night in between night feedings, work, and pumping 6 x day. At first I worked out 10 minutes and quit. I slowly worked my way up. I really wasn't sure why I was sticking with it except every day I would wake up and there was a whole team of new friends and like-minded women who were going through the same thing. They would share their story and I felt like I could keep going. So I did. Everyday.

Fast forward 3 months and I became a coach. I honestly started because I wanted to get my workouts and nutrition free. We are a single income family of 5 and if I could provide a little more support and get healthy, it sounded like a win. So I kept going.

6 months later, I had lost 35lbs, transformed my schedule, found some sunshine and light and still had my tribe of women supporting me every step of the way. I decided to share my story with some of my friends. And I kept going.

People would ask me what I was doing and I would tell them, but I was still so worried what they would think. Why would a full time career women also want to coach? Why would you want to share your story on social media? What would people think? I kept going.


Fast forward to today. I kept going. I traveled to Nashville, TN and Sundance, UT on trips where I focused on leadership and self-development. I completed full workout programs 100%. I learned to organize my schedule to allow time for both me and my family.

I am still going. I am team Beachbody. I am a wife. A mom. A corporate IT professional. A lover of chocolate and wine, fan of yoga and still suffer from some dark spots. I have learned to find the tools to show me the light and live and set a healthy example for my family.

We eat clean. We are present. We hike. We play. We are healthy. I would have never imagined a 30 minute workout program would take me this far, but it is amazing how taking one small step can lead you on an awesome new path.
