Vegan Fix Approved Meal Plan Made Simple!

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!!!!!!

Ok, I've gotta brag on myself a bit today because our Health Bet Challenge Kicks off Tomorrow, for once I am all prepped for the ENTIRE WEEK.... AND it only took me an hour & a half to do it all!!! 
I was too excited about all of the simple meal plans & grocery lists I found to make it so much EASIER for our group members to stay on track with their nutrition this month that I decided to try one out myself! 


In all honesty, I HATE COOKING & PREPPING!  I've always wanted to be one of those girls who had beautiful meal prep photos...but to be perfectly honest......I usually stick to my boring salmon and broccoli and then kick myself mid week for not prepping!!!! THIS right here is a rare moment and so I had to document it!!


For anyone doing using the Fix container system - this falls into the 1,200-1,499 calorie bracket and this particular plan is VEGAN - Yep, trying all kinds of new things this week-- but there are TONS more non-vegan plans to follow as well.


Here's the FULL MENU with container equivalents if you wanna try it too & if you're looking for more support on your journey this year, reach out & let's do it together!!

Finding My True Purpose One Day at a Time!

My Journey To Discovering My True Purpose 

After I graduated college and was fired from my first corporate job, I felt lost. That's when my journey to "find my real myself" began. It all started with getting my fitness & health back in check. I remember coming home from work completely exhausted, I'd nap most afternoons (sometimes sleeping until the next morning), I was living off frozen TV dinners, abusing caffeine & diet pills, drinking a lot, had horrible IBS, and felt In wasn't living up to my true potential.


Thanks to social media, I discovered a workout program called INSANITY. At the time I was so broke and $119.99 was a HUGE investment, but I needed to make an investment in myself and I knew with some skin in the game, I'd be more accountable!


Well, I not only got into the best shape of my life & changed my eating habits, I ignited this passion & drive inside me that affected many other areas of my life. This helped inspire me to go back to school to become a registered nurse and ultimately a family nurse practitioner.


I made it to my final career destination, but I still had this burning feeling inside that it wasn't enough, I was made for more.
My true passions throughout nursing school were all focused around the power of exercise & nutrition in preventing/ending diseases.


Last year a little thing called Beachbody Coaching fell into my lap unexpectedly at the time, but looking back it was when I needed it the most!
God knew what he was doing and although I started this business at a time I was stressed to the MAX in my career, it's been the thing that's saved my sanity & blessed my life everyday since!


Listening to others speak at yesterday's huge Beachbody event, I again felt this overwhelming sense of purpose, of belonging, of passion, and a true knowing that THIS IS MY PURPOSE!


Coaching allows me to pursue all of my passions into one role and help others uniquely using all of my own past struggles and triumphs as my guide!


Unlike modern medicine where I have a 15-30 min appointment slot with a patient, as a Coach, I'm able to dig WAY deeper with people, connect, and truly support them in their goals of living a healthier life just by sharing what I've been through, and being their wing girl along the way!
I feel like I've finally found "My People" in my team of fellow coaches as well, those who just "get" me!


I know for certain that this little "journey" I've been on the last 6 years, wasn't about me finding myself, rather discovering God's purpose for my life. I'm very thankful He allowed this gift to land in my lap when it did and I know he's using me to share this opportunity with others out there who are looking for their "something more".
If you're on a journey now, trust the process and stay open to opportunities. There's a bigger plan to all of it than we know!
