I am in a "special place"

And what I mean by that, is that it's both negative and postive.

Things are just crazy right now. I've been on QVC, I am a fulltime Beachbody Coach that is picking up alot of steam (wahoo!), I just won a $1,000 for getting healthy, and the family dynamic is great. Some things that I struggle with (and I'm just being transparent), is God time. The number one thing in life, THAT I NEED, that my heart CRAVES...I slack. Yup, I said it. Thankfully, our GOD is one of grace and mercy, and HE knows I'm not perfect (phew!) and I can "jump back" in the game when I get my sh*t together. Sorry for the vulgurness, but ya know, that's who I am. I used to be alot worse, and with God's help I'm SO much better! With Grace, Family, Friends, Love, <--not in any particular order..I am saved and forgiven by HIM. What a relief! So, if you have any ideas on how to better myself in that area-I'm all ears! I need help just like anybody! I do get God time during workouts-what I'm doing now is putting the workouts on mute (sorry Shaun T and Tony H!) and listening to my Ipod. And it's usually worship playing. And ALOT of praying goes on, especially during globe twists, LOL.

So anywho-I love my readers, and I think ya'll are awesome. I need to post more often, and right now my husband is giving me the "stink eye" for me to get off the computer because it's nearing 5pm when we "try" to go offline...he he. So until next time..Let's all focus on HIM, balance in our lives, and LOVE.

In HIM and Health-Demi

I'm one of the October winners for the MDB Game!

Which means I won $1,000 bucks, and now am eligible for the $10,000! All for doing a Beachbody program, taking before/after pics, and submitting my story! This is SO attainable for anybody! So...watch my "little" story below, (bigger story to come soon). :) :) :)

So it's been awhile...

This might be a quick one, we'll see. But what I want to say is that I think I'm plateauing. I've finished INSANITY (with P90X, and I loved my results!), and I'm thinking of doing another round soon. I'm still doing sporadic Insanity workouts here and there, but I was planning on really focusing on my muscles, so I jumped back on the P90X+ bandwagon. Now, I'm not knocking the program, it truly is great. But--it just doesn't "do it" for me anymore. Though I can't do all the pullups without an assist--it's all..dare I say..pretty easy..to me. I know that might sound smug..but I feel like I'm truly challenged when I do Insanity AND P90X+ TOGETHER, again! I know it sounds like alot, but I feel truly good, and strong. I just need to really challenge myself, at least that's how I feel about myself. For everyone I know it is different, but for me..to have the proper amount of energy I need for parenting, friends, and especially my husband..I just keep refining my balance and try my hardest. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes! XOXO

P.S. If you become my Facebook buddy, me and a friend have started a group called "Saturday Fitness Beatdowns." HA! Don't let the name scare you...but basically every Saturday, someone picks a challenge, they must film it to prove themselves, and we see who does the best! We eventually will be giving out prizes, even some Beachbody products..so check it out! You could even just be a spectator! We had our first one yesterday, and it was doing "Pure Cardio" (which is a BEAST!) and seeing who took the least amount of personal breaks. My friend Rachel won it, she did awesome! So anywho-become a fan of the group, and either spectate or participate! :)

INSANITY Results!

AFTER INSANITY...

BEFORE INSANITY...


This program was a beast! I didn't think that there would be a marked change...but it really did lean me out! I lost 10 lbs, core strength is amazing, and overall cardiovascular endurance is out of this world! I will still use it for my cardio days, but I will move to lifting more iron for a little while..we shall see! :)

Blessings! -Demi

What to do....

So today I'm going to do Core Ball Sandwich from Tony Horton's One on One programs. This is the one workout that makes my core and abs sore for at least a week after doing it. It's really THAT TOUGH. And maybe I'll do the Max Recovery from Insanity afterwards to work on the muscularity in the leg and butt dep't. I remember talking to Tony during our QVC trip about the Core Ball Sandwich workout, and he told me he had been skiing for 8 hours straight before that workout because they had such good snow, and then he wrote it down on the hotel's notepad (the workout) 5 minutes prior to shooting with the director, Mason B. And, as it turns out, it's one of his favorite workouts!

If you haven't dug into the One on One's, I highly recommend them! This year it's all about Tony reaching his personal best, while we try to keep up, LOL. Makes for great goal setting though and intense workouts that are always fun! Of course-these are available only through a coach (as myself, or my husband-links on right!) or any other coach you may desire. :)

I hope you have a blessed day full of JOY! Start every day off with a good breakfast, good workout, and I DARE you to have a bad day! Endorphins are just THAT powerful! <3 LOVE and HUGS!!

Seriously...watch this. Ah-mazing.
