When ENOUGH is ENOUGH its time to take ACTION and change your life permanently

Hey beautiful.
Yep, I am talking to you. 
Right now I want you to STOP the negative self talk and realize how amazing you are. 
So you have dark circles under your eyes, from taking care of EVERYONE else but you. 
SO WHAT your tummy is stretched out from the LIFE you brought into this world. Maybe you haven't had time or money to make it to the hair or nail salon so a messy bun is a constant companion on your head. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! 

I realize first hand how much of our identity is given up when we decide to have children. I also know Mom's would not change a thing. We give our ALL to those we love. But... I am here to remind you.
YOU GOTTA FIRST LOVE YOURSELF!!!

You have those precious eyes watching. What do you want to teach them? 
Self love?
or
Self defeat?

It is a humbling experience to become a mom and no one quite prepares you for that. I know what it is like to have a tummy that feels like jello and NO energy to do anything about it. Which led me to just eating comfort food to console my self loathing thoughts. 

Is this you?

This is the place I was in 3 years ago. I was fat, sick and nearly dead..

Well maybe not, but I sure felt like it. I was 6 weeks POST operation for the removal of 3 cancer tumors in my body. My tummy had been sliced open 8 inches for the biggest tumor to be removed which REALLY did a number on my self esteem. I looked 6 months pregnant because of the HUGE tumor that was growing in my uterus.  Frustrated, defeated and full of tears I remember laying in bed thinking "THIS IS NOT THE WAY LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE!" 

I hated my skin, hated my hair, hated everything about me. I was angry at the world and I KNEW that I didn't want to feel that way any more. NEVER again! I made the decision to give myself the love I needed and wanted. So I could learn to love others and help others stop hating themselves. I never looked back. I didn’t feel good and I had to make a change. I was introduced to yoga, clean eating, and superfoods through my Cancer recover counseling and ended up getting more education in nutrition. I also documented the process and what I learned in my book: Nourish - The beginner's guide to eating healthy and staying fit. 

I fell in love with inversions. Headstand, handstand, pincha, but I could not hold them for long and my alignment was not awesome. I knew I needed more muscle and toning. I had lost 10 lbs just from adding superfoods and yoga into my life and I finally had more energy to add more. So I started adding a 30 minute workout to my life. What happened next...

Over the course of those next 3 months I focused on “ME” for at least 30-45 each day. I would push play for my workout session. I sweated, I cried, I thought I would never change, but then right before my eyes my body started to change. As I embraced clean eating and drank Shakeology daily my skin began to glow, my hair and nails got stronger, and I had more natural energy! I was stronger and I started to have more confidence. WHAT!!!! I was THAT girl who NEVER had EVER Stuck to a fitness program in my life. I always started our the year making a New Years Resolution to get in shape and then I was gone in 2 weeks and stuck paying a membership for the year. I was the girl who would walk into a gym, take some classes and then walk around doing the weights (COMPLETELY WRONG) acting like I knew what I was doing, then I would go make a huge italian dinner with bread and noodles and loads of wine. I had never permanently changed my diet before, but, I liked it! I mean I REALLY liked who I was transforming into, and I LOVED the way my LIFE was changing. 

This is my transformation of 2 rounds 21 day fix and 1 round 21 day fix extreme and Shakeology. Total time 3 months.

Total weight lost from start to finish -65lbs. 
I started running little groups of other women and men that wanted to change their lives too. 
That is when the miracles started rolling in!
My best friend Penny has lost OVER 100 pounds so far!

My daughter lost 35 pounds!

And that was just the beginning! As of now I personally have been able to help HUNDREDS of people reach their goals. I also started a team that is joining forces with me and we all work together to help people as much as we can. 

My inversions sure changed too!!!

I can say that because of my team, the support of the challenge groups and the other women in the group I truly have found a way to love the skin that I am in! 


We all have imperfections.  I earned my imperfections and I learned to love them! They are a part of who I am. Does this speak right to your heart??? Then maybe its time for you to trust me and finally take that leap of faith and join my next challenge group!

So now, my job as a coach is to pay it forward. I am going to be launching a specific accountability and support group that is geared towards matching you up and with a fitness program and nutrition guide to meet your needs but to walk you through the process of changing your unhealthy habits, creating a more positive mindset, embracing your imperfections and chucking the word diet to the wind. We are not dieting, we are creating a healthy lifestyle. Because we are supposed to be ABUNDANT in ALL areas of our lives. 

So STOP making excuses and make a DECISION to change instead. I promise you will work just as hard on your excuses that you will on effort towards your goals. So why not work toward the POSITIVE?

What Do I Need For This Group?
-Each participant is required to have me as their coach. You can create an account here. 

-You are required to do a fitness program, which I will help you to pick the one that best fits your needs. EMAIL ME to tell me you want in we will go over your needs, your current struggles and then decide the program for you.

-You are required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the duration of the 5 weeks because as I am teaching you how to change your eating habits and give you the tools to make this a lifestyle change we want to have at least 1 meal each day that is quick and easy but isn’t lacking in your nutritional quality. Shakeology does that! It is my saving grace because quite honestly there are days that I am so busy that I don’t have time to make a balanced meal so this is my go to!! It has EVERYTHING your body needs, and is superfoods! Plus it really does taste awesome!

–You are required to log into our closed My Challenge Tracker App daily where I am going to share tips, recipes, meal plans, tips to handle eating out, and emotional eating plus improving your body image. We will truly take your journey one day at a time! I have been through the process and I know at what point you want to throw in the towel, I know when you hit plateaus and what situations tend to trip you up. I have tools and tips for all of those. There is no more trying to navigate this change on your own. We are working at this together.

–My goal is to get you a program that you are excited about and that you start and complete it. I do not want it to be something that sits on your shelf and collects dust!

Does this sound like something you would like to do?

If so, take the time to EMAIL ME. I will contact you within 24 hours to discuss whether this would be a good fit! I am accepting a small group of customers for this group and I would love to have some motivated women who are really ready to make a change! Let’s face it, there will never be a perfect time. The right time is now! So let’s get started!

I am NOT going to let you fail! I am giving you my word that I am going to support, guide and help you to truly make a change, live a more positive life and embrace who you are on the inside out! We live in a world full of comparison and its time to chuck that to the wind and just BE YOU!!!!!!
Cannot wait to help you achieve ALL of your hopes and dreams. LET'S TALK!

New Year New You for 2017 Let's get a plan!

Hi, I am Christi, and I am here to motivate you.

Fail to plan, plan to fail. 
The New Year is upon us, and while I don't think you need a new year to start, I know a lot of people choose it as a time to start, because it is a clean slate. 

I am a clean slate kind of person. 
I love Monday's. 
I love a New Year.
It is just the feeling of a clean blank page that I like, and those are the times I have associated as "fresh" starts. 

If you are a clean slate kind of person and are ready to make some changes this next year, let me explain to you why you need a coach. 

Most reputable coaches have a company backing them. It is important for your vision to be in line with the companies vision. For instance. my companies mission statement is:
Help people achieve their goals and live a healthy, fulfilling life.
It is also important to know what the company offers, and how the coaches are trained. 
Basically... what is the agenda? 
It my duty as a coach to talk with you and hear what your current situation is like. 

What is your goal?
How fast do you want to get to that goal?
What do you eat?
What do you splurge on?
What can you not live without?
Do you drink and if so how often?
Do you currently exercise?
What kind (if any) of exercise do you enjoy?
What kind of exercise do you hate?
What are your struggles?
What are your strengths?

It is my duty to listen, and find a solution for you that fits in with your lifestyle. There is no ONE SIZE FITS ALL solution. There are many many solutions that help so many different types of lifestyles. 

I am opening a few slots for people who want to work with me for 6 months. 
Why 6 months?
Because I want to HELP people who REALLY need HELP, and people who really need help are not going to be done needing help and encouragement after one month. 

My services are FREE.
My company pays me and rewards me for helping people, that is not your job. Your job will be to show up and work on you. 

It will take an investment in your health. 
Not much.
You pay more to Starbucks and Frito-Lay than it will cost you. You have to learn to control your habits, or your habits will control you.  If you really want a change, it will 100% start with your diet. So I will find where those "snacks" happen and exchange it for superfoods, either in the form of a smoothie, or if you are not a smoothie person, I will show you easy recipes like yogurt, granola, pancakes, lava cakes, waffles, ice cream etc.... 
It ALWAYS starts with what you eat, so we conquer your diet FIRST. 
We do NOT DIET.
We eat. 
I say WE because I do it right along with you. This is a LIFESTYLE. I just teach you how to rethink your food as fuel. By all means we want you to eat and eat well. Just with real whole food ingredients. I teach you how to make these EASY recipes and also teach you how to eat out. You get to LIVE. We want this to be a PERMANENT fix for you. 

Here are some of the programs I am offering that start in January and February. Click the link and it will bring up an email directly to me that lets me know you want more information on the program.



3 day Kickstart to the New Year - An easy light 3 day cleanse to start your year off right. 

New Year New You - We start with a 3 day cleanse and follow up with clean eating and exercise.

Kick Cancer - 21 days to an Alkaline body detox, followed by clean eating to maintain. Completely cleans out your body, great for those wanting to know if they have food allergies. You eat but we slowly eliminate grains, meats and dairy. After 21 days you slowly start to add them back one at a time so you learn what you are tolerant and intolerant to. This has eliminated symptoms of SO MANY of my clients with autoimmune diseases. 

CUSTOM One on One - I work with you one on one and tailor make a plan that will work for your lifestyle. Nutrition, Personal Development, Exercise, Encouragement from me daily.


If you don't take the time to love yourself and fill your cup first... You will fizzle out and not be able to be there to help others. Let's get you to where you want to be. This is ALL about you. 
today!
Don't wait. 
Because there is nothing worse than regret. Time for you to be all you were meant to be.

Love ya!
Christi
