7 days left don't miss out

7 days left to sign up for my new coach training that I wrote for those wanting to make a difference in themselves and the lives of others.

I am only looking for people who are looking for me. For people who know there is more out there, but maybe don't know how to take the steps to get them to ultimate freedom.

When I talk to people about what I do, so often their response is "I don't have time." In my heart I know they don't have the time NOT to. But they just can't see past their current circumstances. They choose not to see what short term sacrifice can do for the rest of their lives.

For as long as I can remember, I have longed for freedom and freedom of time, because there is nothing that makes you richer than having complete control over how you spend each precious moment you are given!

If you follow my journey you can see my travels unfolding.

These are the days I've worked so hard for, and they are the same days that make me so excited to continue to help mentor others so they're able to do the same.

If you feel a tug. That is your soul saying: "take a chance".

This is your chance to work one in one with an elite coach and author.‪#‎itsYourTurn‬

Live the life of your dreams on your terms

If the only thing you look forward to in life is the weekend, then it is time for a change.
Are you living the life you love?
Or are you stuck living the the same day over and over?
18 months ago I took a chance.

‪#‎Why‬ ...
I was ready to commit to a healthier life.

‪#‎WhyNot‬ ...
If I was going to commit to it, why not help others do the same?

Little did I know this chance would lead to me finding some of the best friendships I could hope for, with amazing souls that love and accept me for who I am, freedom to live my ‪#‎LifeByDesign‬ and hop on a plane, train, or automobile to check things off my ‪#‎BucketList‬ and to go love on my team mates that live on the opposite side of the U.S. from me. This past YEAR I have seen New Hampshire, Boston, Maine, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Las Vegas.... and in the next 4 months I am going back to Vegas, Jersey, Maine and then going to KENYA Africa!!!!!

This "job" does not require travel. It allows you to live your life by YOUR design because it can be done anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. So while I was having the time of my life I was still collecting my paychecks. So that leads me to:

‪#‎WhyNotYou‬ ???

What do you want to do with this precious gift of life?
Why waste it in a cubicle or a dead end job?
Maybe you want to be at home more with your babies?
Maybe you want to see the world?
Maybe you want more time with your love?
Maybe you want to have more time at home?
Maybe you want to buy a home?

This ‪#‎opportunity‬ is open to anyone that is willing to help others and lead by example.
It does not matter if you are overweight, skinny, or in between. We come in all sizes. You just have to be ready to commit to a healthier life, and help others do the same through ONLINE ‪#‎Accountability‬ which frees you up to go, do, be, anything you wish.

Lastly...
‪#‎WhyNotNow‬
What are you waiting for? What is holding you back from living the best life.‪#‎ItsYourTurn‬ if you are ready, email me at momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com My team is waiting with open arms.

Hip Hop Dance your way to fitness

Hey everyone!  I want to just let you know of a new group that will be starting soon.

If you like to dance, love Zumba or just want a break from the traditional workout (no lunges, squats or push ups here), you are going to absolutely LOVE this! I cannot tell you enough how this program is SO so much fun ... and absolutely perfect to get the kids involved! Who doesn't love to dance?!

What is different about this program? It is choreographed hip hop by professional dancers to current popular music that is on the radio now. :)

I will be hosting an exclusive challenge group starting the day after Labor day (to allow some holiday fun first) September 8th where we will all dance our way to a bikini body along with a brand new complete meal plans from me!

Extra perk: 

Who wants to come dance with me? 

I am a certified cize live instructor, but the Cize program is different than Cize live. So at the end of this group, I will be giving a free cize live session on google plus for all to do with me :)

My favorite multi-purpose legging

I am a pretty well rounded gal. I like the beach and the mountains. I love the water, and I love the sand. I love my yoga, and get high off a good cardio session. So what is a girl to do? My solution was Luna Jai. Their capri's are multi-functional. Suitable for the beach, the gym, the yoga studio, and suitable for the pool. 

What I love the most about these capri's is that I can go from a hardcore insanity max 30 workout to a vigorous vinyasa class without having to change. I have a lot of nice yoga pants, but if you are jumping up and down hardcore with Shaun T, they don't stay on. Gravity takes over and you are constantly pulling them up. Not with Luna Jai. I like that I don't have to think about anything but my workout when I am wearing them. 

My other favorite thing about Luna Jai is their bright colors and patterns. I love to express myself with color. Before my yoga days my Mom used to always say I wore black. Can't say that about me anymore! I love wearing them. The colors make me happy.

Best part? If you want them, you can get them %15 off with code: momwhatsfordinner at checkout.

I run many challenges hosted by Luna Jai check them out on Instagram @lunajaiathletic 

Organic and Non-Gmo... no problem!

Today I want to give a huge shout out to Jimbo's Naturally. They recently sponsored Nourish the Workshop and helped us provide Parents and Kids with a wholesome meal at our yoga and nutrition workshop. 

I decided to take a longer time than usual during this visit to Jimbo's so I could show you why they are so great. 

So let's go in shall we? 

If you follow me, you know my passion is all about ending the trend of obesity in this nation. I believe it is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise that will do it. Fueling your body with wholesome whole foods that are non-gmo and organic is the first step to a healthy life. That is why Jimbo's is so awesome. They strive to have a non-gmo store and do their best to label accordingly so you are always educated about what is in your food. Even though I try to stay away from packaged food as much as possible. There are some healthy ones out there like my favorite brown rice cakes that are a great go-to for lunches and snacks. So happy they are non-gmo and organic! 

The produce at jimbo's is amazing. I could spend all day in that section. Oh the possiblities!!! Thank you Jimbo's for having nothing but the best! 

What I am holding here is a daikon and it is one of my go-to veggies for kids. Why? Because you can make cute shapes out of them, and they are pretty much tasteless. Which means they adapt to whatever flavor you dip them in. I serve these cute skewers with my greek yogurt ranch dip and the kids go crazy.

Teaching the next generation about wholesome food is the only way we can break the cycle. Getting them to learn healthy food is yummy and fun is so important!!! Many of these kids had never had a daikon before. It is like a cross between a radish and a carrot. Texture of a radish, with a bland flavor like a carrot. 

With all this amazing produce donated by Jimbo's 

I was able to teach the parents how to make healthy fun food for their kids, while they enjoyed a fun yoga class from Heather Foat! She played yoga bingo with them and got some of their energy out while I met with the parents. 

  The parents got to ask me questions and create something fun!

So their kids came out of class with a full fun plate of healthy food to eat! 

I want to extend much love and gratitude to Jimbos' Naturally for supporting our cause to bring movement and nutrition to EVERYONE!

Let's End the trend of obesity in this nation

How can I help others and expect others to get vulnerable with me, if I am not willing to share my weaknesses? 

On the left I was miserable. I was 6 weeks post cancer. I actually had just returned from my first yoga class ever and my daughter made me take the picture. She said one day I would be glad I had it. She knew I had begun my fight for my life back. So while I don't like the way I look, I am proud to have that picture. That is what I fought back from. ONE STEP AT A TIME.

On the right is me today. Just a few minutes ago. Still not happy to have the picture taken, and still my daughter is saying: "you will be glad you did!" So I am baring my soul to you today. 

Please don't wait. I am not done, and I will never ever ever be done because no matter what excuses you are telling yourself, I can promise you there is so much life and happiness on the other side of it. Yes there were times it was hard. Yes there are times I fail and take a mis-step. I am not perfect, but I have found the solution that works. Accountability, Motivation, Education and Support.

I am working for abs this year and I know it will happen. But this is me a 41 year old cancer survivor... don't tell me you can't do it. I know better.

If you are on the left. Please contact me in private momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com I can help you change your life. I am not going to force products on you. Many of my solutions are free. My services are free. Let me know how I can help you today. Let's #endTheTrend of obesity in this nation!

Nourish the workshop

After my cancer, I drastically changed my life. From the way I ate to the way I thought. I was schooled quickly on what hurts your body and what heals it. So I took the steps daily to change and I wrote down all I learned along the way. My vision is to #EndTheTrend of #obesity #cancer and #diabetes  in this country. The result is what I consider to be my best work ever. My book; Nourish - the beginner's guide to eating healthy and staying fit. It comes out in April and we are touring the states doing a #yoga  and #nutrition workshop in #yogastudios  around the country. 

We have just begun booking! I need your help! Please hop on over to our page (link is in bio or nourishtheworkshop.com) and let us know which studio's you want us at!!! Or email me your studio. We have limited stops we can make so we need to know ahead of time. We will be coming June through August 2015 

About the #workshop: This unique workshop is a collaboration between Author and 200 Hour Yoga Certified Instructor Christi Silbaugh, and 200 Hour Yoga Certified Instructor Heather Foat.   Participate in a class that will be sparked with #creativity and be infused with food for thought; courageously checking-in within to see how well you’ve been nourishing yourself.  After practice, Christi will provide a demo making a healthy snack for you to enjoy in very little time and requires little money. Be informed and leave with a weeks worth of recipes, grocery lists and #yogamoves to step out as a new you. Are you ready to change your life and get #healthy?

New Year, New you... let's start off with a great detox

Did you know we are only 21 days away from the New year? Yep that is just 3 weeks away to #2105 what are your health and fitness goals? Maybe you have big weightloss goals or perhaps you just want a jumpstart into the new year. I am committed to making this year the BEST year. This year I am holding myself accountable and I am hoping to find some others in this community that does too.

I am running a New year fitness and nutrition challenge for those of us that are wanting a healthier lifestyle. January 2nd I am starting with the 3 day refresh, it's basically a healthy three day wake up call for your body! A detox that allows you to eat food and not starve. The average weight loss is 4-7lbs in three days as well as 2-5 inches! And of course it's all natural! You can see more about it here; http://youtu.be/JzGpmybPt38 Then I will be following it up with a 21 day fix program.. that will require 30 minutes of exercise a day.. that is it! I will provide meal plans, shopping lists, and recipes for the 21 days. More about that later...

The 3 Day Refresh Complete Kit includes Shakeology for breakfast which helps improve and support all your body's vital functions, while also helping maximize energy and maintain healthy blood sugar levels (available in your choice of 6 flavors, including vegan options). The kit also includes the vanilla fresh shake that helps curb your hunger with more than 20 grams of protein, 22 essential vitamins and minerals, probiotics for digestive health, also included is the Fiber Sweep which gently and naturally eliminates waste from your digestive system with it's blend of whole ground flax, chia, and psyllium seed husks. As part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, Fiber Sweep can help lower cholesterol, and support healthy blood sugar levels. A program guide is also included that walks you through how this program works, what to expect and how to prepare your shopping list, as well as your body for the 3 Day Refresh. It also contains a menu planner with numerous easy-to-make nutritious meals!

Please email me if you are in so I can get a head count and get this challenge rolling. It takes about 5 business days to receive the refresh kit, so I need to get a final count no later than December 22nd to ensure everyone is ready to go once we start! The cost is $69.99 and is all organic and non-gmo and full of superfoods.

I will be following up this program with a 21 day fix program The ‪#‎MotherDaughterReset‬ that will now start January 5th with Taylor Ann and I ...lots of sponsors and prizes!! . You can do one or both. I am doing them back to back for the best new year results ever. Looking forward to hearing from you!!!

New Year, New You!

I know you don't want to hear this, but it is November. That's right. Time for all the holiday temptations that leave you feeling miserable after the damage has been done. All of us fumble during this time, myself included. 

Knowing that I will take a few mis-steps during the festivities, I decided to be pro-active about it. First of all my daughter and I committed to a 21 day detox/cleanse reset that we will do online and we hope you will join us. 

Moms, we are supposed to be the example here. Let's make sure we do that!

There will be sponsors announced soon. To join follow us and let us know you are committing to take the challenge. I will post more about it later. The hashtag for this challenge is #MotherDaughterReset2015  Even though we have this challenge coming,  this is not the time to stop and say "I will just start in January". It is the time to make small little steps to prepare for when you are ready to dive in. I have committed to making this happen in 2 simple ways.  

1. I will make sure I get my daily body movement. For me that is walking and yoga. For someone else it may mean a game of basketball, zumba, piyo, insanity, or simply riding their bike. To each their own. (If you do not have a program or a gym. Email me, I can get you plugged into a challenge.)

2. I am committing to making sure my body gets 100% of the nutrition it needs EVERY DAY! No exceptions. Fine if I stumble and eat that treat, at least I know I put all the proper nutrients in my body first! When my body is properly taken care of, I stumble a lot less. You may say "It is impossible to do every day". You are wrong. If you stumble on getting your fruits and veggies in your body, you can do what I do and use the superfood wellness shake that has all your daily nutritional needs in one packet. I commit to having one per day. It is as easy as sprinkling it in my food sometimes. 

This is the time to start planning for your life to change. 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result. You have to do things differently if you want a change. Christmas is around the corner. Instead of asking for the same stuff. Ask for workout clothes, yoga mats, foam rollers etc... whatever your movement of choice is, now is the time to PLAN, so you can take ACTION when January 1st comes.

I don't know your situation, weight, health, emotions etc... but chances are if you are reading this you are hoping to make some changes in the New Year. I am here to help you. I can help because I spent last year taking these steps, I was successful and my life completely changed for the better. It starts with you and how you take care of our body. It flows over into every other part of your life, your relationships, your job, your finances,... it can all stem from how you feel about yourself. 

So how about it? Do you want to take this journey with me? I will help you personally with this. Since winning my battle with Cancer last year I have a strong passion to help others. You can email me personally and I will get back to you. Let me help you live the life you have always dreamed of!

Email me, I am here to help!

Pear Butter

This past week I spent a few days with several of my close girlfriends. It was so nice to get out again and get in a lot of laughter! These ladies have been such a blessing to me! On the last day three of us went down and picked some pears from one of my friends pear trees. Lovely natural organic pears. 

So I was super happy to get busy in my kitchen creating a bunch of different pear dishes. Since they are in season, I will be sharing these recipes with you over the next few days. 

I started off with Pear Butter. So easy to make and so yummy! 

Pear Butter

10 pears, peeled, cored and cut quarters.

3/4  cup brown sugar (or agave or sucanat, you can also use 1/4 cup stevia if going for sugar free)

1 cinnamon stick

pinch of sea salt

Put all the ingredients into a crock pot (slow cooker). 

Cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. 

Remove the cinnamon stick, let cool slightly then puree to desired consistency. Keep refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.

The Best Tartar Sauce

We eat a lot of fish. It helps that we live right by the bay and can get fresh fish caught daily. I love fish with tartar sauce, but I am picky. I do not like store bought tartar, so I make my own. It is a family favorite and I try to keep it on hand as much as possible. It is so easy to throw together. Make it! I bet you find you won't be heading to the store to buy the nasty kind at the store after you try it! The key here is FRESH herbs. 

Gluten-Free Tartar Sauce 

1/4 cup chopped baby dills

1 tablespoon chopped capers

1 medium shallot coarsely chopped

2 cups mayo

1/2 tsp dijion mustard

2 TB chopped fresh dill

2 TB chopped fresh chives

2 TB chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp white pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

Put everything in the blender with the exception of the baby dills. Blend until creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender to make sure it all gets in there good. Stir in dills. Put in glass or plastic container with lid in the fridge to store until you use. Tremendous with any fish!
