Act As If...

One of the BIGGEST obstacles to SUCCESS is a lack of BELIEF and thinking your goals are so far away and unattainable. A great strategy to achieving great success is to "ACT AS IF you already are where you want to be." This sends commands to your subconscious mind to find ways to ACHIEVE those goals. What you THINK about, you will BRING about. It's the Law of Attraction at its finest.*

What do you want out of life? What goals do you have for yourself? What kind of person do you WANT to be? Act AS IF you are already living that life, AS IF you have already achieved your goals, AS IF you have already BECOME the person you want to be. If you want to live on an exotic island... You guessed it, act as if you already live there. If you want to lose 50 lbs- act as if you already did.

"As soon as you start acting as if, you will start drawing to you the very people and things that will help you achieve it in real life."*

As a coach, I have found that people believe what you believe and what you portray. Even if you are a brand new coach, the key is to ACT AS IF...

Act as if you are a Superstar Diamond
Act as if you have 1000 customers
Act as if you are the TOP COACH
Act as if you have an amazing team
Act as if you are an incredible leader
Act as if you have already achieved your goals.

This will ATTRACT the people to you who will think like you and want to link arms and build a business with you!

For all you amazing coaches changing LIVES every day, this is for you:

Tips for video on your iphone

So almost every day, I record myself on video with my phone. It is the easiest way for me to get in natural light when I'm making tutorials for my coaches, and I record my workouts most days to inspire others and for accountability. The more I make, the better I get so I've come across a few tips to make it easier.

First off, a Joby tripod is fantastic and makes set up so much easier. I did videos without it for a long time, but I had to get the phone set up just right and it could be frustrating ;)

I do everything right from the camera app that comes with the iphone. It is really easy to trim the ends of videos to crop out what you don't want. I literally just set up my phone and hit record and then trim it to what I want. Make sure to always record with your phone HORIZONTAL- that way when you upload to facebook or youtube, it fills up the entire frame and is easier for people to watch!

Two apps I have found that are fun are PicPlayPost, which allows you to put several video clips into one collage and Fast Slow, which allows you to speed up or slow down your videos.

The key to good quality is the lighting. This video was recorded at a window so I had indirect light. I do most of my videos outside on my porch. Hope this is helpful!

I was able to get our own copy last week at our annual Summit and am getting started NOW so I can really help you on your journey to know EXACTLY what to expect and what you'll need to get results and love your body and life!

The hubby and I totally ROCKED it a few weeks ago on our first attempt ;)

Road Trip Food Prep

Road trips are an easy excuse to let loose, pick up junk at gas stations, and detour through fast food drive-throughs. I've been there- My staples were combos, snickers, reese's cups and pieces, Dr. Peppers, gatorade, Ritz bitz. See a pattern? Yep- all JUNK and terrible for me!

When I started my health and fitness journey, traveling was something I had to change my mindset on. So- How can you avoid this trap when it's important to be HEALTHY, but not STARVE? ;) Prep, prep, prep. Did you know you can even carry food onto flights? Yep- done that too!

Easy road trip food:
-Tuna
-Boiled eggs
-Apples
-Cut strawberries
-Pears
-Power balls
-Shakeology bars- Recipe from 21 Day Fix Extreme- coming SOON!
-Shakeology with a shaker cup
-Carrots
-Red peppers
-Almonds
-Turkey burgers
-Cheese sticks
-Bananas



I try not to eat too many processed foods, but my favorite is the KIND Healthy Grains Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate. I try to stick to gluten-free and non- GMO if not organic so these fit the bill! They're delicious too I might add! ;)



We ALWAYS travel with a cooler now! I also make June's baby food, so we need the cooler for that too!

The beauty of traveling with everything we need is no long stops for meals! Cass and I eat while we drive and ride and we were able to feed June quickly at the gas station. Doesn't she look like she was having so much fun hanging out on the cooler?


Our trip to Nashville today was about 8 hours. Just to give you an idea of what I ate:
Breakfast- blended chocolate shakeology with spinach before I left
Snack- Apple and two power balls
Lunch- Turkey burger, shakeology bar
Snack- Kind bar, strawberries

We'll have dinner out somewhere tonight- we have to take advantage of the local cuisine and enjoy ourselves! I always eat more carbs on a trip like this because the treats are so yummy and easy to grab! That's ok though! Still so much better than the alternatives!

The next few days will be BUSY at Beachbody's Coach Summit. We got a room with a fridge so we can be prepared and I can avoid getting HANGRY! For the room, I also have cooked green beans and spinach to add to my shakes. You CAN stay healthy while you travel! You don't have to throw away your goals and ideals of eating healthy!

What is your FAVORITE and EASY food to take on the road?
