Im in another Infomercial! FOR INSANITY THE ASYLUM!

So here I am again-in another infomercial (the first one was P90X). As you can see in my before pic-I was in pretty good shape...but my word-Asylum took me to a whole new level of athleticism. I am so greatful for this program, what it did for me, for Beachbody, and for all the support I have recieved over the years. Hard work does pay off! Never give up on any of your goals, because if you want it bad enough-you'll get it!

SORENESS. Friend or Foe?

I really do love waking up and feeling sore. I do. Call me a masochist. Whatever. The soreness we experience after workouts are really the body’s natural response to pushing yourself to a higher level of physical activity than it’s normally used to, and a part of our body’s normal process of adaptation. This is an amazing progression in which our body breaks down, then starts the recovery process, heals and rebuilds. As a result, we get stronger (the process of building muscle). We will notice that the soreness usually hits you the second day after your physical activity (DOMS-"Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and after a day or so of uncomfortable soreness, you get progressively better and soon return to feeling your normal self. So this is something that I love to feel-BUT! If the soreness is messing with your sleep patters, you are angry all the time, you lack appetite-THAN it can lead to overtraining. That's a whole 'nother beast so I suggest you let Google help you with that. The following pic is something I won't do. Not that I CAN'T DO IT, because I CAN, (not really), but I still think it's a cool pic. Plus I would be worried about getting ran over. And that would definitely make me sore.

OK-so today is my oldest daughter's graduation day from 4th grade! Bring on the Summer sand and water. Will post more pics laters. -DB

So. What have I been doing Post Reset? Read on.

Alot of you will be surprised that I am still eating the Reset meals that are outlined in the guidebook for the Ultimate Reset. Many of you have been asking me what am I doing to maintain, how are my workouts now, etc. So I want to answer all of that right here, right now. Throughout my 21 days-I have discovered that personally, I want to remain a Vegan. I want 50% of that to be Raw Vegan as well. I just know, FOR ME, it helps me feel better and have more energy. PLUS-I recover from my workouts faster, therefore I can push harder in my workouts. I am on the maintenance program for the Reset-which includes Alkanize (the nasty green sweat sock powder-but is SUPER good for you) and Optimize (digestive enzymes). I also wanted to include Oxygenize (liquid oxygen-oxygenates the blood-making you feel oh so good, and your workouts are super fly when you are drinking oxygenated water), plus once a day I will take Detox. To keep things moving. You know what I mean by that. And since doing this every day, almost a month post Reset-I STILL have my post reset results, and I still have that clarity of mind, the peacefullness, the energy, all of the benefits that came with the Reset. Figured out I can keep that feeling forever! Which I LOVE.

I do allow myself to have a little more snacks than usual-but I am experimenting with vegan/raw snacks and side dishes to "get my feet wet"..so to speak. I have alot to learn, like always, and I want to know what my body likes, and what it shuns. Sort of a self experiment. I like science. OH-and as far as my workouts..I basically feel like the Gladiator. For reals. I am doing Asylum with a dash of Les Mills Pump thrown in for good measure. My performances on the hardest workouts I've ever done are SO MUCH BETTER. And with that I feel like a spartan. A gladiator. Or Rocky.

Anywho-that's all I have for now. Summer is upon us, which means LOTS of boating. Who knows-maybe I will drink and eat my face off the next time we are out on the boat. All I know is-is that with Beachbody-I have the tools to get back on track. I can help you do the same thing. KNOW THIS. -DB

So what is the point of all this ANYWAY?

Why am I involved with health and fitness? Why am I trying to get YOU healthy? Why do I write this blog talking about all this? Why SHOULD YOU CARE? To start off-I will share WHY I started doing all this. In case you didn't know already. I USED TO BE FAT. Like not just, "OH-I just had a baby, NBD..." YEAH-6 MONTHS AGO. Anyway-I'm 5"4, and at my heaviest I was inching towards 170 lbs. That's not very cute. I mean, I used to do fitness modeling, I was so comfortable in my own skin, and now, NOW..I was this chubby girl that couldn't fit into any of her clothes. I had NO waistline, I was wearing mom jeans, tights (OMG TIGHTS ERRRYDAY), and my husband's tshirts. I was so close to becoming that schoolyard everyday mom. (NOT bashing anyone here, it just isn't me). I KNEW I was created and destined to do so much more. I KNEW that I needed help. I was straight up-ADDICTED TO FOOD. It was my comfort and my solice. I didn't have anything but my family, and my food. Plus the fact that I'm puertorican, and my parents live very close to me-so they were more than willing to stuff my pie hole with all the greasy goodness (which in moderation, I still enjoy). Like EVERYONE says, late at night while inhaling icecream straight out of a gallon bucket, alternating with swigs of wine-the P90X infomercial came on. Being a former Marine-that's when everything hit me like a sledgehammer. I was the most happiest with my body when I was in the Marines (when I was crazy active). P90X seemed alot like what we used to do in the Marines-so I KNEW that's what I needed. My personality type is one of that is you remove pain and agony-LIKE A BANDAID. Go hard or go home. That's just me. So I ordered right then and there. When it came-I didn't have any equipment. I did have a strength band though. So I looped my band around my stairwell, and modified pullups. We used to go to Sams Club alot-so I had these huge Aunt Jemima gallon containers of syrup. They each weighed 5 lbs. And I had 2 of them! (NO EXCUSES!!) So I used Aunt Jemima syrup bottles for alot of my weighted excercises in my first month and followed the nutrition plan exactly as written. No cheats, nothing. First month-I lost 10 lbs. I was CRAZY HAPPY. So that definitely motivated me into the rest of my transformation journey, and slowly-I started to purchase weights, until I had a miscolored, rusted out weightset that went up to 20lbs! Then I FINALLY got the pullup bar. As my first 90 days came to a close-I lost almost 30 lbs. And then the craziest thing happened-I WON $10,000 FOR DOING THIS!! *THANKS BEACHBODY*...I knew I could do more, so I went further and did more Beachbody Programs, and now I can say I am the fittest I have ever been. During my initial 90 days, that's when I decided to become a Beachbody Coach. I was helping people anyway by sharing my story. Why not get compensated for it? I mean-time IS money. Making that decision is what changed my life. I eventually was able to be a stay at home mom. I discovered I had a serious passion for helping people-because I was in their shoes! There IS a way out-through healthy nutrition, Shakeology, and sticking to fit programs 6 days a week-like P90X, TurboFire, P90X2, Insanity, RevAbs, and Les Mills Pump-I have the ultimate workout library that I know will always be there for me. And being a stay at home mom-this WORKS. I don't have to fuss with going to the gym, carting off the kids with me, etc. I can just do my workout as soon as I wake up, and I'm done. More time with my family and friends and a sleek healthy physique are my reward. And that can be your reward too! Whether it's by being client of mine, or being my business partner and becoming a Fitness Coach-I can help you-physically and financially. Bottom line. The choice is yours! P.S. 3 weeks post Ultimate Reset. Results still hold true and I feel amazing! I recommend this to everyone! Please comment with any questions! I would love to help you. -DB OH and here is my before pic, complete with monthly progress photos through P90X.. Isabel was around 5 months old in the first before pic. Before pic=NOT HOT.

Forgot to post Day 19! But here we are Day 20!

OK-so totally forgot to post yesterday. It was one of those days I didn't even have time to wipe my butt. It went by SO FAST. I swear I spend so much time in the kitchen, not just for me, but for my family too. This Reset messes with you. I am not a cook. But now I swear I'm like a healthy version of Emeral whateverhisnameis. So I start cooking healthy shiz for my husband and my kids. Like from scratch. Since I'm vegan now, I don't eat eggs. So, I thought to myself, F this: my kids are going to eat super healthy too! STARTING NOW. So thinking on to breakfast, last night I prepare their breakfast and cook it. It was organic buckwheat pancakes. It called for eggs. So I google the crap out of "egg substitues for pancakes" and I find it. The answer. 1 egg=1/4 cup applesauce and half of a banana smashed. Well I had that, but no the actual apple sauce. So I TOTALLY MADE MY OWN APPLESAUCE. I don't know who I am anymore. I was hellbent on getting them to eat these effing pancakes the next day. I added some stevia for good measure. They don't what that is except it makes it sweeter without adding nasty shit to it. Holy balls. BOTH KIDS ATE IT UP THIS MORNING like it was their job. I even put some mashed apple sauce on top for a "topping" like all IHOP syle. But healthy. OK enough on that. Day 20 is here. I feel fantastic. I can't believe it's almost over. I woke up a pound lighter. Making that 15 lbs lost in 20 days. NUTS. This was such a learning experience, and I can't wait to do a VIDEO recap of my whole journey, and my feelings week to week. That's right. It's all going down and I'm going to explain all the good parts, and all the not so good parts. Just know it was ALL WORTH IT! I feel brand new. And I like that. Gotta make lunch! DB

Day 18 Ultimate Reset Recap!

Today was a BLUR! I remember eating breakfast and lunch, then going to a last minute test shoot with a great photographer, Gamil Awad of Muse Production Studios. It was a lengthy shoot-but it was worth it! Captured some great images. Then I had to rush home, make dinner, drink my water, eat, and then get the kids ready for bed, while recapping work with my business at Beachbody for the evening. So this will be a short post-but I'll leave you with a couple pics from todays shoot. :)

There are TONS more but I will leave you with these! :) On to Day 19 tomorrow! -DB

DAY 17 HOLLERR!

How are you doing today! I am doing GREAT. Feel good, slept great, and I woke up refreshed and ready to go. So I have a confession to make. Last night was Cinco De Mayo. I had to go to the party I was talking about. I had 2 drinks. (SHAME!) But I did drink ALOT of water, and my food was on point, didn't cheat at all with bad food. But you know what? I am back on track today and for many days to come. I realized it wasn't that great (the drinks) and I guzzled distilled water faster than anything afterwards. Got it out of my system, and drank some alkanize before I went to bed. And I woke up 2 pounds lighter! Woohoo! 14 lbs lost in 17 days ya'll. Here is my accountability pic:

My midsection is getting more and more cut, and I love it. Goes to show you that nutrition is VITAL when you want to feel better and look better. Click on the Ultimate Reset Banner above if you want to get rid of bloating, fatique, insomnia, lower your cholesterol and if you want to just flat out feel BETTER. You know you want to. Because then you can feel like this every day:

I'll even supply your ribbons. -DB

Well How YOU doin..Day 16?

I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning at promptly 7 am. That seems to be my "comfy" sleep in time. Having my Reset meal as I type, and I honestly can't believe this journey is almost over. I mean, I will still keep the majority of it incorporated into my life, but the fact that I am honestly ABLE to do this..blows my mind. I'm proud of myself for sticking through. And I think YOU should be proud of yourself for whatever you are going through, even if it's hard in the beginning. The beginning of this Reset SUCKED. I was miserable. But it was very shortlived, and I just pushed through..begrudgingly. At one point I looked at Jason and told him, "I don't think I can do this." And he told me that I came this far, why not see how much furthur I can go. And I did. And here I am in the home stretch of this thing. If you are doing a fitness program, eating differently, having a change in your family that is tough, whatEVER it is, I encourage you to stick it through. Because the OTHER side is amazing. It's SO beyond worth it, and just plain beautiful. So be courageous, be brave, and be consistant. These are key fundementals in sticking with anything in life, especially anything that involves change. Down another pound-I seem to be losing a pound a day. Still full of energy, and NOT hungry. I'm accepting this and embracing it, but I can't wait to jump into another round of Asylum that's for sure on Day 22! :) BTW-I have to help with a Cinco De Mayo Party tonight. 4000 people. That will probably be all drunk and crazy. I will be taking my dinner in my tupperware, and bringing my own water. No alchohol for this gal! I don't even want it. YAY. Till next time-DB

Well HI Day 15. :)

OK it's official: last night was the BEST SLEEP I HAVE EVER HAD. No joke. Just wanted to put that out there. I know I said I'm only doing 2 weeks of this Reset, but I have decided to extend it and do it the way it was written. When Carl Daikeler and his wife (CEO of Beachbody and wife) talked on a webinar, they said once you are done with the Reset-you should just basically go backwards in it. So that's what I'm doing. Only after these next 3 weeks can I introduce certain things I used to eat and drink like fish, snacks, and alcohol on occassion. By going backwards-you will slowly introduce things BACK INTO your diet, so you are gentle on your body. By doing this-you can actually PIN POINT which foods react well with your body, and which foods don't react well (and they can cause gassiness, bloating, stomach pain, lethargy, etc). They said when you re-introduce something new, to wait 3 days to see what happens. And then move on to introducing something else. This is the only way you can really do this..is by going through the Reset and doing what I just mentioned. No doctor or bloodtest will ever tell you what you are allergic to properly and accurately..(even if I am minutely allergic to it-I'd want to know!). This is the only way I can do this for myself! For so long, so many of us go through life eating this or that, and not even knowing that it is doing something to us on a personal level, that our bodies are not in favor of. This is all about self-discovery and self awareness. I want to know what works with me and what doesn't. You should too! Click on above banner or click HERE to get your Ultimate Reset. If I were you I would get the Ultimate Reset Challenge Pack-which includes Shakeology on Home Direct and a free month in the VIP Club Membership with Beachbody. The Vegan Strawberry Shakeology that comes with the Reset (BTW-tastes like a strawberry yoohoo, YUM) just compliments it so well, and makes for a daily delicious snack. Plus when bought this way, it's highly discounted. WIN WIN. :) Breakfast was delicious as always-can't wait to see what lunch has in store! -DB P.S. I'm down almost 2 more pounds! 12 lbs in 15 days ya'll.

Day 13 Ultimate Reset Wrap up..

I HAVE LOST ALMOST 10 POUNDS. IN 13 DAYS. That sh*t is bananas. I have been eating 3 meals a day (delicious meals, at that), plus an optional snack (some days I have it, some days I don't). Plus alot of water and some supplements that help oxygenate your blood and keep your intestinal flora super healthy. OH and I can't forget that alkanize. **shudders** I mean, it's not that bad. Maybe it is. I just chug it down as quick as I can. It's like liquid gr-ass in 4 oz's of water. But it's good for you, so I'm going to take it like a champ everyday (that's what she said). Alkaline=good and healthy. Being Acidic=disease and illness and you may die very soon. I don't want to be acidic. I want to be alkaline. Gr-ass drink and all everyday. p.s. Google that if you don't know what I mean. It's very science-y and it's just too much to write. Plus I don't understand alot of that. Tomorrow is Day 14! It's almost going by super fast. I have a Cinco De Mayo Celebration that I will be attending along with 4000 other party animals (I'm a Top Socialite in Charleston; I don't really know what it means, but it does mean I get to go to alot parties, VIP all the way!)...that might be a little tough, but I'm sure I can do it and go through with no booze or snacks. I've come this far, I just have to. I did tell myself if I was miserable I would allow myself one drink that I would sip S-L-O-W-L-Y. And then have more Alkanize a.k.a gr-ass when I get home. :) WIN WIN. Till tomorrow..DB

Day 12...Ultimate Reset

Ok so today has been going good. Today's lunch was the BOMB. "Hearty Miso Soup." Hearty me love it long time! The recipes are just friggin good, and tonight I'm cooking something I have NEVER cooked before. It has something to do with a Fennel. I have this bulbous Fennel in my fridge and I have no idea how it will taste or what the heck I'm going to do with it. We shall see. Not a single recipe has let me down yet, so I don't expect any less from this one. Today I am kind of tired, with a little stingy headache. And I broke out on my forehead real bad. And I don't usually break out at all. My skin was looking AMAZING for a minute there, but the zittyness broke through. Everywhere else is good though. I think it may be another toxic release, who knows. I'm just following the rules and doing what it tells me to do. I will blog again after my Fennel adventure. Riveting, I know. -DB

Day 11 Ultimate Reset

Real quick blog post before I do some YOGA! :) Again-woke up feeling great! 7 lbs lost to date, and it just gets better, muscle tone is still there, like I knew it would be. I wanted to give you guys and gals an accountability pic as to what this Reset can do for you too. Remember-no working out on this thing. This is an internal body workout. At least once a year, every athlete or anyone who works out alot, NEEDS to take some time off for your body to rest and repair, and to prevent future injuries. Also when you workout-your body produces alot of ACID. Which isn't detrimental to your health, but your body just needs a BREAK from time to time. This Reset gives you that much needed break without losing muscle, you lean out alot, and you clear your body of all the acid, and all the toxins that have built up over time. Plus, I've been going out of the house without makeup on (a first!), because my skin is just so healthy right now. EVERYONE needs to do this. I was reluctant at first, but now I am SO thankful that I decided to do this. So. Here's my picture.

For once (after having 2 kids) I am NOT sucking it in, and I am NOT flexing for this picture. This is just naturally what is happening. And I'm happy with that! Can't wait to jump into my next workout program (Les Mills Pump) and really take my physicality to the next level. And I can't wait to see the end results of this Reset! Until Next Time-DB

Day 10-Ultimate Reset

Holy Balls to the wall-I'm in the double digits now! The meals were GREAT today. I know I keep saying it, but everyday I feel EVEN BETTER mentally and physically. It IS making me a little OCD-I have more energy and so I'm cleaning like crazy, throwing away stuff that should have been thrown out eons ago, and I can't stop "tidying up"..so to speak. I'm starting to cook for my family-the meals from the Reset-and yeah I have to buy more food now-but I feel so good when Jason eats the food and absolutely loves it. And I HAVE found a new pleasure...a way to my heart, so to speak. KITCHEN GADGETS. Like seriously. OMG. Today I went to Walmart (I know, gross), and I happened to pass about the kitchen section. My eyes sparkeled. Why of COURSE I need a lemon AND lime juicer. And a masher for my chick peas and nori germasio (Reset meal). And a GRATER that MEASURES while you grate?! I PUT ALL OF IT IN MY CART. As I show Jason all my little "treasures"..he is rolling his eyes so much and walking away half way through my description of it all. Whatever! I have my kitchen toys that make cooking even MORE FUN! :) On another note: Since we are allowed to do yoga on this Reset-I did do yoga today. Not just regular yoga. AERIALIST YOGA. That's right. I'm so badass. Not really. They have these things (look like curtains) that hang down and you are a couple feet in the air. And then you do yoga on them. Sounds easy right? Uhm...NO. It was challenging, like imagine doing down dog IN THE AIR. And everything else. It was tough, but enjoyable! It gave me a heck of a stretch and I felt AMAZING afterwards. I love yoga's "after" affects..the feeling of calm and serenity. This class definitely gave me that, and I'm coming back every Sunday! Next Sunday we're bringing in the hoops and trapeze for some good ol' fun. Oh wait. I have a couple pictures of what I did today.

That's really not me (I know, SHOCKING), but I swear, I did both of those and more. The silks give you the ability to really get a good stretch and do things you thought you couldn't do. I was a little nervous, but once I let go-I discovered I can actually be pretty descent. It's all in the breath! Namaste-DB

ULTIMATE RESET DAY 9!!!!!

Almost in the double digits now baby! P.S. I just really like that quote above, because it's damn TRUE! Anyway-I slept even BETTER last night. It's literally blowing my mind. I woke up just feeling crazy awesome, had my breakfast, and now I am prepping to go BOATING for the day. I'm confident I can do this! Ha. Last night I cooked my A$$ off, cooking dinner for me and the fam, and then cooking and prepping all the food for today-tupperware central! But it's worth it now, all we have to do is get ready, and GO! You won't be hearing from me for the rest of the day, MAYBE later when we get back, we'll see. Anyone going through a rough patch in this cleanse-TRUST ME I WAS THERE, it get's better and you will feel the best you have ever felt in your life! South Carolina Sun, Beaches, and Boating-HERE WE COME! SUMMER STARTS NOWWWW!!!

I need a favor! And...Ultimate Reset Day 8!

So first thing is first. I know I ask you alot of favors. And yes I'm going to ask you for another one. Gather your friends and family and please, for the love, do this simple simple task. All you have to do is; first, go to https://www.facebook.com/CarlDaikelerCEO. LIKE the page first, then find my video (it has my name in it, Demi Bean) if you can't find it look under "posts by others" and you will see it, and then CLICK LIKE ON MY VIDEO. That's it! I've gotta win this-I will send you cupcakes if you can make it happen. Not really. But in my mind I will. Promise. You can watch the video too. I think it's full of hilarity. But you have to go to that page first to watch it. ;) Ok on to the Reset. IT'S DAY 8 YA'LL!! I feel friggin fantastic! I slept amazing, ate an incredible breakfast, and shit, it's almost time to get lunch made, holler! I think I can actually DO THIS. I will admit, in the beginning, I didn't think I could. But I encourage anyone "in that spot"..to hold on..like Wilson Phillips says, and wait it out. It will pass.

Just..hooold onn. For one more day. Or 3. Ok-gotta go prepare lunch, I have no idea what I'm making. I'll fill you in later! -DB p.s. LIKE MY VIDEO PLEAASE!!

Today was awesome! Ultimate Reset Day 7

I have not had any temper tantrums. Or the urge to kill anybody. AND I feel AMAZING. Clear. Focused. Alert. My food satisfies me (that is in the Ultimate Reset) and I just feel GOOD. I move into the "Restore" phase tomorrow, which will wean me off of grains, but the grains are always optional if I should want some. I like that flexibility. And I'm SUPER excited for the recipes that I've browsed through in this week! Stuff I've NEVER cooked with before, that's for sure. Plus I cooked tonights dinner for the husband-he SO LOVED IT. And he's a hard person to please with food. So all in all-POSITIVITY ALL AROUND! And now I present you with...

GLITTER AND RAINBOWS OF HAPPINESS. Sparkle on, -DB

Day 3 of Ultimate Reset has commenced

So. people have been telling me rumors that days 3-5 are where you feel like piss-ass. Awesome. Thanks for that heads up. I actually slept GREAT last night, but I did wake up with a little bit of a headache. Hopefully that will go away after my first meal today. Breakfast will be simple: just a certain selection of fruit-but alot of it! I just had my oxygenated/mineralized water with some supplements and ALOT of water. Wierd how I actually look forward to that water in the morning! So do you want to hear something extremely FUNNY? So, blogger has this thing where you can see how people found your blog, what phrases they used to find your blog, etc. Usually it's the normal, "demi bean, demi bean fitness model, demi bean working out, demi bean muscles, demi bean magazine, steroids <--I had to laugh at that one!, etc." You get the point. BUT! A new one popped up yesterday which I think is HYSTERICAL. "The official hate site of Demi Bean." !!! BAHAAHAHAA! I can't tell you how happy that made me. Because anyone that knows me knows I am one of the nicest people out there, but if you're going to hate on me for whatever reason-than ok-have fun with that. I'm moving on because my life just doesn't stop. I have a world to change. But I will say, it just adds alot of publicity for me-so "Thank you" to whoever wasted all that energy into that website-my name will just get more popular. :)

Moving on... I am starting to miss working out. I KNOW that all of my energy needs to focus on detox and digestion. I get it. But I am missing me some Tony Horton and Shaun T. I know soon-I shall return with gusto to these workouts, I just need to be patient and trust the system. Weightloss is still at a solid -4 lbs, and my skin looks fab. Rock on Detox, rock on. BEACHBODY ULTIMATE RESET <---Click on above banner or on this link and get you some! I will coach you through it every step of the way. :) -DB

Don't fool yourself....

A fourth of July story that will probably trump yours:

I decided to stay home away from the crazy on the 4th of July this year. I was fine with it, my family was fine with it, and my birthday was on the 2nd-so we celebrated PLENTY for the weekend. I just wanted to stay home, watch some trashy educational TV and enjoy a glass of wine before I turned in for the night. I knew the endless fireworks from criminals and like minded idiots would be lighting illegal fireworks all night, hence giving my kids and dog a great nights sleep. I wanted a little peace before the night chaos that was sure to come.

So everyone came home, I am relaxed getting ready for bed. The kids are all happy as can be, telling me their awesome stories, and I was so happy they had a great time with Daddy. After they went to bed, Jason comes and tells me a delightful tale. One that is disturbing and also disgusting. Like any semi-normal person who wants to enjoy the holiday-Jason wanted to drink some beer. Not like doing keg stands or anything. Just effing relax with some beer. I totally understand this need even more because he was going to a CRaZaZy babtist church for the firework festivities. No lie, this church puts out a sign in the dead of summer here in SC that reads "IF YOU THINK THIS IS HOT, HELLS HOTTER." Like a threat to all us "sinners." Just remember it's REALLY EFFING HOT. Anyway-we don't do that scare the devil out of you shiz in this house-we are believers and we try our best. That's all the explaining I will give you because I don't have to give you anymore. So yeah it was hot tonight. Jason wanted to drink some beer. He had to send the girls off to play with the other kids so he could drink a beer for a couple minutes. Like a crazy sinner that basically will die a hot hot hot death in hell IMMEDIATELY if ANYONE from the church sees him. Pathetic. What's even worse? EVERYONE THERE IS FAT and stuffing their faces with hotdogs, burgers, fries, and coke. WTF. Does that make ANY sense to you?? I think having a beer every now and then is much better than getting yourself fatter by the minute and acting like you haven't eaten a single morsel of food in your whole life. July 4th doesn't give you a free ticket to eatwhatevertheheckyouwant, JUST FYI. A heart attack or never having sex again with your loved one will just be the consequence. Which will lead to a bad marriage. Which will lead to divorce. Last time I checked, God hates divorce, right baptists? Yeah-so STFU and eat some damn broccoli and a protein shake. Stop waddling around and judging everyone just because you manage to shimmy your fat self to church and squeeze yourself through the church aisles every Sunday, while some are working out to worship tunes at the gym or at home. I would take the latter choice, thank you. I don't take kindly to my husband having to drink in private like an alcoholic. Which he is so not BTW. Lighten the F up. Drinking a beer vs. a lifetime of being a fatty? Beer wins.

So anyway-I do free fitness coaching. I'm not the nicest. (see above blog post) but I tell it like it is. If you want to be fat and die an early death-and pass that lovely gift to your kids-that's on YOU. But if you want to change things, I can help you. I think Jesus would totally love that idea.

Get Ready for a picture explosion in yo' face

From the Team Beachbody 2011 Summit. Let me tell you: IT WAS FRIGGIN' AMAZEBALLS. We hung out with our closest Beachbody friends for a week-had amazing training sessions that were so motivational and informational, danced our hearts out every night, and just had SO. MUCH. FUN. If you are not a coach on my team-YOU NEED TO REEVALUATE THINGS. It's the cheapest business to open, it rewards the coaches above and beyond, free vacations, family oriented, and we are REVERSING THE TREND OF OBESITY!! Did you know that obesity now kills more people than smoking related deaths?! That's crazy! You can be apart of reversing this within the next 10 years-if not sooner-but you have to be a coach!

So in preperation for the Summit, alot of coaches have upped their game physically and nutritionally. Which means for alot of bitchy coaches. Or that may be just me.

Physically: I've started doing doubles 2-3 times a week. What does this mean? I do a cardio sweat session on an empty stomach right when I wake up (the only thing I have in my tummy are BCAAS-Branch Chain Amino Acids to help your muscles along thier merry way). Kill me. It's the worst. But I know when it comes to crunch time for any event (i.e. photoshoots, competitions, SUMMIT) this is what I gotta do. My body responds well to it. My mind and belly give me the finger. In the afternoon-I do weights and a little jumprope speed session (10 min jumprope, followed by weights). I mix it up-whether it's shoulders one day, to legs and butt the next, or bi's and tri's another day. I just make sure I hit each muscle group HARD in the PM. I do take a rest day. But I usually do a great stretch session on rest days. And I do abs twice a week somewhere in there. I sometimes mix up different workout programs from Beachbody as well-since I have all the programs. (Another perk of being a coach-25% off of everything, makes it all VERY affordable!)

Nutritionally: This is my WEAKEST area. I am a snacker. Throw me some chips and hummus. Some pasta. Salsa. Maybe a rice crispy treat. I KNOW. But normally I follow the 80/20 rule even when not in prep for anything. 80% of the time I will eat clean and perfect, 20% of the time I eat whatevertheheck I want. It keeps my sanity intact. Now is a TOTALLY different story. I'm eating, but very very very limited choices. I still eat 5-6 small meals a day. But it consists of the following: Shakeology in the AM-1 hour later a protein shake. Lunch=Wildcaught salmon and asparagus. Snack-protein shake. Dinner=Wildcaught salmon and asparagus. PM Snack if I'm going carb crazy-plain oatmeal (steel cut). PM protein Shake. No alcohol. Then I go to BED. REPEAT. OVER AND OVER. NO VARIATIONS. Fish and asparagus sounds yum right? Well after eating it all day every day it's like the devil in fillet form. But salmon is high in omega 3's which will make your skin glow like a baby's butt and also help with fat loss. Asparagus is a natural diuretic-which means it will help shed any water weight, the natural way. And it makes your pee smell delish.

And OMG the amount of water I am drinking???!!!! I feel like I am preg again with all the pee trips I'm making. But it's all good. It's good to do this to your body every now and then, like a healthy detox. Except it's super long. As a fitness model/fitness coach-you have to be ready for anything 2 weeks out. And 2 weeks is how long I have to do these shananigans.

Results-I have already dropped 4lbs (water weight I'm sure) but it's all fine and dandy because I feel like my muscles are showing more and I just feel better overall. Sleep is like supah fly, and I feel GREAT in the mornings. Until I realize I can't have my Shakeology until I sweat like a sinner in church for 30 minutes minimum.

In other news: The Sephora angels showed up today as well as the angels from Victoria Secret. Some cute dresses and travel makeup/shampoo/conditioner and perfume were delivered. It makes my day special when this happens.
