A moment of painful honesty...

In 7 days, I will be driving with a few fellow coaches to Nashville for a giant event - Beachbody's biggest event of the year, Summit - trainings, parties, motivation, workouts with the trainers, exclusive shopping - you name it... I see all my peers talking about how excited they are, they have a countdown going, they are trying on fancy dresses and packing... but not me...

Honestly, I am terrified...

Going to Nashville sums up all of my greatest fears...

Which include, but aren't limited to - large crowds, meeting new people, meeting people I admire, and the greatest of these fears is leaving my girls...

Sounds silly, right?

Almost 30 years old and I have these fears...



So you might say, "Umm, Erin you don't have to go, just stay home!" And I would, but here is the thing, I did not chose to be a coach or to change lives - it CHOSE ME! I am so internally drawn to go, despite the tears and the anxiety and the fears because this is what I was meant to do... And if you know me personally at all, you know it must be true because I don't leave my kids EVER! So funny, because I am sure as a mother you can relate - some days I can't wait for bedtime, or I just want a meal or shower free of interuptions - but then when the opportunity arises, it feels so weird, almost not right!

I have literally broken down and cried about leaving them - I don't know why, guess I am being selfish... I cried today folding their little laundry, and putting them to bed - I feel like this is crazy, because in reality of how much time I get with them, 6 days is nothing... but I've never left, I am always there - and funny thing is, when I talk to Aubrey about it, she is just like "you will bring me home something, right mom?" - some days I wonder how I raised such a strong, independent girl!

I remember last year, when I was watching all everyone at Summit - I remember thinking "I have to
go there" and when I told my mom I bought a ticket to go, she could hardly believe it. The year has come around so quickly, I almost can not believe it... Kate was only 6 months old at the time...

But don't take this the wrong way, part of me is excited to go - the coach part.. The part that knows that this training is going to change my life, help me change more lives and help me be a better mentor to my team..




This tattoo on my foot, is something I wanted for a long time -
I made sure I got it before leaving, so I could always look down
and be reminded of my WHY - because every step I take is
all for them xo

Really I am blessed - blessed to have so much to waiting at home for me these 6 days I am gone and blessed to have so much to look forward to while I am there... blessed with the opportunity to change lives, including my own...

More than inches lost...

Starting this journey, I had a lot of doubts - I had tried to drop these pounds a million times on my own... I've done Weight Watchers, fad diets, joined a gym and odd ball nasty cleanses - part of me wondered if this would be any different... I had a big goal, and I was trying to beat the odds against me - a busy mom, small budget, not a lot of time and a thyroid condition that is notorious for causing unwanted weight gain...

One day, in a dressing room 14 months ago I had a break down - literally broke down, in public - As I collected myself, I looked down at my girls (who at this point looked scared) and I thought, "How will I ever teach them to love themselves and their bodies, if I can't even love my own?" In that moment, I distinctly remember looking at myself in the mirror - face to face - and promising that today was the day... A little (probably way to honest) backstory, when I found out I was pregnant with Aubrey, I wanted so badly for her to be a boy - I could never imagine myself as a mom of girls... I had always struggled with poor body image, poor self confidence and self esteem and I never wanted to "pass that down" to my daughter - finding out she was a girl was  challenging because I didn't think I would be good enough for her - But through this experience, I realized these girls came into my life to save it... Every time I wanted to give up, give in, skip a day - I looked at them and kept pushing harder. They make me want to be a better person, they are that driving force, the heart beat...

While I wouldn't say this was always easy, there was not a moment I regret - with results like this in 30 minutes a day, who could regret anything? I started in a challenge group which is closed group on Facebook, where my coach helped myself and others like me on our journey - I learned about clean eating, fitness tips, how much water I should drink, how to order off a menu, basically how to make this a lifestyle change and not just a quick fix... I was negative at first, my stomach hit off my thighs as I workout out, my body craved sugar and carbs, I was out of breath - but I promised myself I would do this, 60 days fully committed... as time went on the workouts are easier, my energy levels improved, the cravings disappeared and I was getting real results.... A lot of times people ask me what I owe my success to - and there are a lot of things - dedication, support of the challenge groups, coaching, my girls... but I would have to say it is Shakeology - Shakeology gave me the energy, cut my cravings, it was a healthy meal that I didn't have to think about, it helped with mood stability and depression, and for once in 10 years my thyroid levels were more stable than ever... In the middle of the day when Aubrey wanted lunch and Kate needed this and life was crazy, I could have a quick on the go lunch for myself in less than 2 minutes! I went from napping on the couch when Kate napped to having enough energy to play with Aubrey, workout, clean, and just started feeling like myself!

As the weight started to come off and I could see a glimpse of the "old me", I started getting myself back - for years I put everyone before myself... I hated how I looked so I stopped getting my hair done, I stopped buying nice clothes for myself - and once I started losing weight and feeling more confident, I started putting myself on my priority list...  It is so crazy that how I started this process thinking spending 30 minutes on myself was selfish, but it ended up being the best thing I could have done for my family, because they got ME back!

And although I know my body isn't perfect, that isn't what these pictures were about - today was a celebration, celebrating the perfectly imperfect, turning my mess into my message and beating the odds...

And how did I get here?! Simply the power of challenge groups, sense super foods, 30 minute in home workouts and a specialized meal plan...

Did I think I would be here 14 months ago? No! I never imagined how my life and body would change, and I can't envision a more satisfying journey...

As I continue my journey, my goal is to pay this forward - to join one of my upcoming challenge groups where you will get all the tips and tools to be successful please apply below! Hope to see you there!

Insanity Max:30 - Week 4

Add caption

The end of Month 1 - ha of course, after I was finally getting the "hang" of things! These workouts never got easy, but I could tell my endurance and strength was!! I am kinda sad to leave Month 1 - I really liked the Tabata Strength and Tabata Power workouts the best.... I improved my overall max out time and calorie burn in the Cardio Challenge - so goal met... and month 2 - challenge accepted!!

My eating was spot on this week, which is always a struggle for me! I think it was because, thanks to some killer Beachbody pay checks, I was able to decrease my hours at work this week and was home 16 hours more than normal! Those night shifts are a killer on my nutrition and over all well being...




Some days working out is emotional for me... all the pressures, anxiety, worries of my life come to the surface in a great workout... grateful for a healthy release, working out is a full body and soul experience

My least favorite workout - it is a mind vs body experience and it is NO JOKE, I am sure this will look like a warm up after I get a look at Friday Fight Round 2!

My 10 month transformation - This program has been an ab game changer... I wish I could explain what this feels like, I can't but I can help you achieve it!

Spinach, Tomato and Chicken Salad with fresh ground pepper and grated parm!

My fave - chicken stir fry with sugar snap peas!

My daily breakfast! Whole Wheat Waffle with fresh fruit!

Insanity Max:30 Week 3

Here we go - week 3!!! Time is flying!!! This week was similar to previous weeks, except instead of Tabata Power we now have Tabata Strength... I love strength workouts because I feel myself getting stronger each day! 3 pushups, 5 pushups, 10 pushups... stronger and stronger... what I modified Day 1, I can do a few reps of... and I love that! To me, it is more of a victory than weight loss!


My new favorite snack - greek raspberry yogurt with granola!
I usually have a texture issue with yogurt, the granola helps!!!
So yummy and filling!
 



I love this workout shirt because I feel like I am an underdog "beating the odds"
75% of women never make it to their pre-pregnancy weight - I am proud to say
I weigh less than my pre-pregnancy weight with Aubrey, over 5 yrs ago!



I love this move - great to watch or tape yourself working out because you can see how you can improve
For me, watching this... I know I need to keep my butt down to help get a better core workout!

I am so excited to be moving into week 4... but these workouts are still such a challenge I am a bit nervous about what lies ahead in month 2!!!! I do love a challenge!!!

Insanity Max 30 - Preview!!!

I am sooo pumped for this new program - as you all know, I love love love Shaun T and I think this program will be a lot of fun! Insanity is just too long for me, and I need something more now that I am just about finished with my second round of T25... It is all about getting better than you were last time and beating you max out time!

Insanity Max 30 - Preview!

So what is Insanity Max???

INSANITY MAX:30 is the challenging new 30-minute, in-home workout program from Shaun T, creator of INSANITY and Focus T25. Shaun T has developed 150 new cardio and strength moves that will make you push harder and dig deeper than ever before to get the best body of your life in just 60 days. INSANITY MAX:30 will be the hardest 30 minutes of the day and you need to be ready to MAX OUT. It's not about "getting through" all 30 minutes, it's about going as hard as possible, for as long as possible, until becoming "MAXED OUT" (until taking a break). No equipment needed… just push to the MAX for INSANE results in just 60 days.  It may not be Tonia, but yes - there is a modifier to help you keep it low impact while you are learning the moves! I always try to challenge myself and beat my calorie burn, and this program is going to have me challenging myself in a whole new way - be beating my "Max Out Time" so what is maxing out? Maxing out is when you go hard as long as you can, and when you need a break - you take one. Write down that time, and that is your max out time! Every time you do that workout, your goal is to beat that time... I love this!!! It constantly pushes you to be better than you were last time! Such a fun spin on a challenging workout - eeekkk can you tell I am excited??? The first workout is a cardio workout and a fit test so you can see how far you can go and how long. Here’s the format for that workout: Warm-up Quick Break 3 Exercises at 30 Seconds Each (3 Rounds of each for 4.5 Minutes) 30 Second Break Repeat for 5 Rounds Total More details to come!!! So who wants to get insane results and max out with me??? Exclusive group starts Dec 8th and space is limited! 1 on 1 coaching, support, recipes, daily motivation, and accountability all in a closed Facebook group with coaches and other challengers doing Insanity Max 30 just like you!!!
