We have all had it at least once in our life. You either loved it or hated it. There was no middle ground. You know what I'm talking about... Tuna Mac. When the delightful odor or fish and feet (that's what I think cheese smells like anyway) filled the air and your plate looked like some science experiment gone wrong, you either jumped for joy and ran and hid.  I was one of the odd ones. I actually really liked it! Lol  So, I'm putting a spin on a childhood classic and making it healthy! Keeping with the series of convenience foods, I bring you "cheesy tuna and broccoli".. Again.. I'll work on a name later.  Ready for a hard hitting, confusing and time consuming recipe? Get ready..  Here are the directions: ✴️Heat broccoli and cheese as directed in package  ✴️once heated, put in a bowl. ✴️open tuna pouch/can  ✴️mix in broccoli and cheese  The end I know, it's one of the more complicated recipes I've posted for you a

Let me just sum it up for you.... Wow!! When Insanity Max 30 got released I could not wait to get it! The insanity family is where it all started for me. I was ready to get rear kicked by Shaun T again!  For me, insanity isn't just doing a workout. I make it a challenge for myself really. Which helps me to push harder to make it through. Something about Shaun T keeps me motivated to keep going.  Alright, enough gibber gabber. Let's get down to the nitty gritty! Pros: ✴️ modifier!!! I go as hard as I can without modifications but once I have maxed out, I need a few modifications. Unlike the original Insanity where there wasn't a modifier.  ✴️ it's hard! Yes, that is a pro! It helps push you further. It's kind of that "if I can do this I can do anything" complex lol.  ✴️ Shaun T... He's always a pro. Just sayin.. ✴️ nutrition plan! This is seriously one of the best nutrition plans I have seen. It even came with a no cooking g

I've decided to start a new series for you all! While I absolutely recommend eating clean/real foods as much as possible, I'm also a realist.  People follow an 80/20 rule for a reason. I know sometimes you just don't have time to prepare a meal from scratch. Some months the grocery budget may truly come down to Pennies and you have get what you scrape by with. I get it. Really!  So, to help everyone out I have decided to start posting a series of easy meals using some convenience foods with healthy spins. Sound good?  So, first up in the series. Pasta sides.  Tonight's spin- butter flavored pasta sides. I couldn't have picked a more processed starting food if I tried! This is also one of the cheaper foods in the store. Right at $1 a package. It's hard to pass up when you need to feed a family on a tight budget. I get it!  Here is how I jazzed this side up, turned it into a meal jam packed of nutrients and protein.  First off- when

I have big news coming from Mr. Shaun T himself! Yes, the creator of Hip Hop abs, Insanity and T25 is at it again! This time, he is going to MAX you out!   As many of you know, my weight loss journey started with Insanity. 43lbs, 52 1/2 inches and 16% body fat in 60 days! To remind you of the results, here is a visual for ya ;) My results with 1 round of Insanity   So of course when I caught wind of a new Insanity coming out, I was extremely pumped! Those of you have done Insanity (like myself) may be wondering what the difference between Insanity and the new Insanity Max 30 is.   With INSANITY ® , Shaun T gave you a year's worth of results in only 60 days. And now, 5 years later, it's time for INSANITY MAX :30 — the hardest 30 minutes of your life. There's no equipment needed; just push to your MAX and get insane results in 30 minutes a day. In INSANITY MAX :30 , the only thing standing between you and the body you want . . . is YOU. Every day

If you have me on Facebook you may have noticed to a lag in my postings. My general lack of knowledge with anything going on in the world. Its not because I haven't been keeping up with my challengers and helping others but, because it has been my busy season for my other job. My photography business! I have been blessed with another amazing season of business. Many repeat clients and many brand new clients!  I thought I would share with you how I balance (or don't balance 🙅) my time to make sure I get the essentials done while still staying involved in my family!  Balancing 3 jobs (coaching, photography and home day care) while being a wife and mother trying to take of myself as well can get pretty tricky and very tiresome. When I am with my family, I am unplugged. That, is a none negotiable for me. Working sometimes means taking time away from family, I won't take even more time by being distracted with my phone or tablet.  Which leaves less time for so

First off, how was everyone's Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is always a fun holiday, lots of family, relaxing and food! My husband had to work in the morning (such is police life) but, thankfully was off in time for us to enjoy TWO Thanksgiving dinners! Lol yep.. 2!  I did my workout before dinners so, I felt good going into dinner! I also walked off some feasting calories with some serious Black Friday shopping after dinners! Lol  That's not to say I didn't enjoy the stuffing, rolls and desserts.. I did! Which is what brings me to our Thanksgiving detox!  Thanksgiving kind of rolls into 2 days around our house. Why? What up left overs! So, after 2 days of feasting on delicious carbs and sodium.. I am feeling the affects of it! Which is why I am so ready to do this detox!  As you have read, I have done the 3 day shakeology cleanse and I have also done juice reboots! I am also a smoothie lover. So, I set out on a mission to combine all of these clea

Thanksgiving is in a few days. Everyone knows what that means, lots of travel, lots of chaos and LOTS OF FOOD! Staying on track through all the chaos can be tricky but, it is doable! Here are a few tips I have for enjoying Thanksgiving without affected your goals! 1. Get organized! I spent Monday meal planning for the week, going grocery shopping and prepping meals! Being organized and having a plan makes it so much easier to keep on track and stay the course!   2. Do your workouts!  Don't use the holiday as an excuse to skip your workouts! Get up a little bit earlier on Thanksgiving to make sure you get it in before you head off to dinner (or multiple dinners). My plan, I will be double workouts on Wednesday, doing my regular workout on Thanksgiving morning and then I will do doubles on Friday also to help recover!     3. Shakeology! Drink that shakeology for breakfast! It will control hunger which will prevent you from over eating at your dinner.. or multiple di

I was talking to one of my challengers the other day and she said something to me that just clicked. She asked how I was and I mentioned I felt a bit like a hypocrite bc I had gained some weight back after losing it all and here I am helping others and representing a healthy lifestyle when I still struggle to eat right some days. Her response was dead on. "Don't feel like a hypocrite! It helps me to know that you are just like me. We will always battle with our weight. Junk food is a drug that is very addictive. Once an addict always an addict. It's ok to fall off but once you have your moment then just pick yourself back up and do it again." She was so right! These words rang true to me especially today when I had an aha moment! I had just ate my snack, a blueberry cereal bar (not totally clean but a relatively healthy snack none the less). I finished it and wasn't at all hungry anymore. Yet, I found myself fighting the urge to go back in the kitchen

I don't know about you all but, I have always preferred weights to resistance bands. I just like the movement with weights better but also because resistance bands terrify me. I just picture a good snap whacking me in the face anytime I use them. However, since I am doing P90 I don't have a choice in the matter. Several moves use resistance bands only. So, I had to get used to them and use them. Safety!  You see, a couple months ago my husband (sorry babe, I'm calling ya out) was not using them correctly attached to a door. He pulled back and the bands came snapping out of the door and smacked him right in the chest. He had a huge bruised welt for days after that.  They do make door attachments you can buy to use resistance on a door. There are also ways you can do it yourself to attach to the door. The easiest way to it using a towel. What you do is fold the resistance band half, put the towel around it and then shut that in the door. Leaving you with saf
