What are you losing...and what will you gain? Find out here...

This morning I asked the question on how much you all dropped on average at Target/Winners/TJ Maxx, etc per visit. The majority of you told me 100.00. To be honest, that is me, too. Every. Damn. Time. Why the heck is is SO easy to spend money out on new leggings (yes, I need more, right?), that amazing blue leather purse (Whatttt? It matches my killer shoes I bought there LAST week) and those multi-color bowls that will make my food porn pics even MORE food-pornier. Yes. I just made up that word.

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, so many people that are interested in what I do as a coach hesitate and ponder and speculate on spending 40.00 to become a coach and start up what potentially could be a 6 figure (or more) income. FYI: I am not there yet, but I will be.

Honestly...what do you have to lose? 40.00? As you all told me, we drop that at the snap of our fingers, but what do we get in return? More “stuff” to clutter up our homes and then by next week, we are already tired of it.

What do you have to gain? First off you get to be accountable. To yourself. That is the gift that keeps on giving. Secondly, you get me...I will train you and show you the ropes...there is nothing and I mean NOTHING to be afraid of. I knew jack squat when I became a coach, but I learned it! You also get my team...Team Subject To Fire. They are my extended family and we all help each other. Like, crazy help each other.

You don't have to know everything. You don't have to be ultra fit. You don't have to have experience. You just need to be willing to learn AND then teach. You need to want things to change WAY more than you want them to stay the same. You need to want to help others more than anything else. And you need to wake up every day with a fire lit. That 40.00 is nothing compared to what you get in return. You get to impact lives every day. Yourself included.

I am opening up 5 spots for my next new coach training. If this speaks to you (or sounds like someone you know), please talk to me.

For the record, that 40.00 I spent 2 years ago was the best investment I could have ever made. This is my job. This is what I wake up every damn day, excited to do.

And it can also be yours.

"WTH Does She Eat" Sunday Oct. 6th

This week was a little more a testing of my willpower, with 4 low carb days.  DAMN, you carb cycling.  But alas I must listen to my coach's words of wisdom.

This is what went down in my kitchen (and a couple not) this past week.

Let's start with breakfast...because, well they are my my absolute most favorite meal of the day.  NOMS!!  I had my pancake bowl for most days, and yes I am addicted, then other mornings Pumpkin Vanilla Shakeology porncakes...ahem...pancakes!  And coffee, oh yes with coconut oil.  Nectar of the gods! 

My lunch and dinners were a lot about zucchini and Hugh Jass salads.  I had one high carb day this week and you can bet your ass I inhaled some sweet potatoes.  Heaven, I tell ya!!


OK, I did NOT have cake, but I had the next best thing!

Ok my obsession with zucchini is epic. Seriously eating this every day is not a problem for me. I sautéed 4 ounces of ground turkey in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil with garlic, onions, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Then in the end I added in my zucchini noodles and sautéed for about two minutes.

Inhale!

4 ounces of ground turkey sautéed with garlic and red onion. I seasoned it with spicy chipotle pepper and sea salt. Then at the end I tossed in spaghetti squash that I had cooked the day before. Topped with a quarter of a cup of homemade salsa.

 I ate out this week and the real easy choice for me is always Edo.  I can get veggies & protein, prepped just the way I ask, no issues.  Gotta love that!

Me, at Edo's ordering food.
"I'll have the chicken and shrimp with no rice no teriyaki no oil and no soy sauce. All veggies, all steamed".

Lady behind counter, "Oh you are a very healthy girl".

Comp prep really isn't hard as long as you are willing to make short term sacrifices. And I DID eat a spoonful of peanut butter for my fat after so yay!!

And because I was on Low Carb alert, I only got apples once this week. This was the day I painted my front entry..'scuse the step stool and crack fillah!

And yes, Shakeology 'erry damn day!  It keeps me sane, curbs my cravings and makes me feel like I have a treat after every workout.  I am special...I deserve it!  :-)
