Did you ever do a 360? We all do at times, but I recently did one with the way I eat! I tried the Beachbody Ultimate Reset, which when I first heard about it in January I had no intention of doing. But we all know how weird life is…the […]

As I was vacuuming today, I was really taken aback by how much I enjoyed the task lately. Weird, right? But recently my husband and I decided enough was enough with the less expensive vacuums always letting us down. We decided to bite the bullet and invest in a Dyson. […]
Valentine’s Day is approaching fast! And we only have about 100 days or so until Memorial Day weekend! Where does the time go? So who wants to get their “SEXY†back? The holidays have a way of plumping us up and the end result is we start feeling sluggish, bloated, […]
I felt like I needed to write something up on why I decided to put P90X2 on hold for now. Yes, I was really going to stat P90X2 on January 2nd, but I have to tell you, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I pre-ordered it because I wanted […]
I have a love/hate relationship with my age. I don’t feel my age and to most people I don’t look my age, but I admit, I’m over 40. I don’t want to get into the whole psychological discussion on how society views women and age. Its not my intent. […]
If you’re like me, winter can wreak havoc on your skin and your hair. There are a few simple tweaks to your routine that you can do to end cold-weather skin and hair problems for good. Cut back on sugary foods. Loading up on simple carbs (cake, cookies, muffins, white […]
I’ve been in the fitness business since 2003. I’ve pretty much heard almost every excuse out there. I’m sure I’ve used a few myself. People tend to make every excuse they can when it comes to exercises & eating right. So many people come to me & say they want […]
I just wanted to write a quick post and update you on what I’ve been doing. I just about completed Insanity, got all the way to last week of month 2. I had Asylum sitting here waiting for me since April and I had mixed feelings about starting this […]
Empanadas have become a favorite easy recipe whenever I make a roast chicken or turkey. Traditionally empanadas are stuffed with beef and cheese, then deep fried. But this version is made healthier by baking the empanadas, using roast chicken or turkey breast, adding beans and less cheese. You may […]
I’m almost done with week 4 of Insanity. I never thought I’d say it, but I really love it now. Last summer, I missed Tony Horton so much while Shaun T. put me through so much torture. But I think Shaun has won my heart, although I will always […]
Everyday someone wants me to make up a meal plan for them. I used to do this for my personal clients for free. But honestly I stopped because it was time consuming and I wasn’t getting paid for it. Don’t get me wrong, I do love to offer […]
Do you know what’s holding you back from success? Its FEAR. FEAR is false evidence appearing real. Fear can hold you back from weight loss, exercise, a new career, a new relationship, ending a bad relationship. Fear is you being your own worst enemy. Don’t sit there wondering what if, […]
I love using the P90X Nutrition Guide and the Insanity Elite Nutrition guide for recipes. Since I love to cook, I often make my own versions of the recipes. Last night we had breakfast for dinner. The night before I had made a salad with cubed chicken and […]
This morning marked Day 15 of Insanity for my husband and me. Day 15 means another Fit Test! I was really excited to see if I had made any improvements from the first Fit Test. So down to the basement we went at an early morning hour. I’ll tell […]
My husband and I just finished week 2 of Insanity! Yay! We start our next Fit Test on Monday and I can’t wait to see if there are improvements. I can already see improvements with my husband’s form, flexibility and coordination. We’re making our way to the Asylum!! Its recommended […]
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while now. But didn’t have the time LOL! Seriously, I get so many people who tell me they really want to get in shape, but the number one excuse is not having the time. Of course I feel that […]
I am the real deal. I don’t mean that in a conceited, cocky way though. Here’s what I mean, I’m a real person, a real woman, real wife, real mother. I don’t have help around the house except for my husband when he’s home from work. I have 4 kids […]
The first thing most people say when they think about starting P90X or they just purchased it is “the workouts seem so long!” Well, yes, they do seem long, but compared to getting yourself dressed, in the car and off to the gym, then start your routine, towel off and […]
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!! Ice cream is so yummy, but a big no-no for lots of people. It could be because they have blood sugar issues, or gluten, lactose and digestive issues or maybe trying to avoid the fat and calories associated with […]
You’re probably wondering which honey to use to get you through those Insanity workouts. Organic, local, imported… No, not that type of honey! I’m talking about your “honey.” Whether its your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or your kids, having someone close to you with the same goals can really […]
Insanity Fit Test – Day 1 Well today was the official start of Day 1 of Insanity with my husband. The Insanity Fit Test marked our first day. We haven’t worked out together in years, so its fun to start something new with him. I did Insanity last […]
I don’t feel my age Today is my birthday! I woke up at 5:00 a.m, did my P90X workout, had my oatmeal and a whey protein smoothie. Then I had my Shakeology for lunch (after a healthy snack of course). Woo hoo! Way to party like a rock star on […]
Okay, so you may be by a cozy fire right now, or you just finished chipping the ice off of your car, but in just 17 weeks it will be Memorial Day – the unofficial start of summer!!! So how will your Memorial Day and summer be this year? Will […]

Okay, this was my last week of round one with Brazil Butt Lift. After 4 weeks of working the bum bum (pronounced boom boom,and Brazilian for booty), tucking the tummy, sculpting the body I’m quite pleased with the results. I know my results would have been a lot better […]
Okay, I was a little afraid to take my measurements this morning. I wasn’t on my best behavior with eating last week and over the weekend with Christmas. I made cookies, and of course you can’t make them without having one, two or a few. Then I made ravioli, […]
Okay, I am totally stoked about my results so far with Brazil Butt Lift. Here were my measurements on Day 1: Waist 28.5″ Hips 36″ Thigh 20.5″ Here are my measurements on Day 6 (I thought I only lost 1/2 an inch in my waist, but when I looked at […]
Ed Z. absolutely inspired me recently with his story. I have the privilege of coaching him, but one thing I want to make clear is that he did all of this hard work by himself. I’m just there for support and answering questions from time to time. […]
I know it sounds awful for me to say this, but all I really want is a big, fat, juicy cheeseburger right now. My favorite place to get one is PJ Whelihan’s Pub. The Black Jack Burger! So why am I craving something that’s really not that good […]
Well, its that time of year when all sorts of sickness strikes. Cold, flu, stomach bug, you name it. Right now, I’m starting to recover from my least favorite, the stomach bug. Its no fun for anyone when mom gets sick, so I have my own way of shortening […]
