How much time does it REALLY take me to grow my Beachbody Business while working full time?

I’ve been getting a TON of questions lately about the TIME commitment it requires to be a successful Beachbody Coach!! 

Well…Here’s my truth!! 

I’m a full time (~45 hours+) Nurse Practitioner and a Surgical First Assistant two of those days (which means NO access to my smart phone or computer for about 12 hours), I’m a group fitness instructor, I’m a wife to my amazing husband, I have a social life, AND I’m currently a Star Diamond Qualifying Beachbody Coach!! 


Now you may think…WOW, she must be busy!!! 

Well, Yes, I do like to stay busy, but I still go to bed around 11pm, and I'm not up before 6:15 am. I still take time to workout most days, read books, and enjoy myself, my family & friends, and my husband!!


The beauty of this Business is it’s on YOUR own time and YOU choose the hours! 

Our team has Rockstar Trainings & systems! I've learned how to knock out my "Power Hour" and I can teach you too!  


The ONLY thing I’ve given up since starting this business are nights filled with vegging out on The Real Housewives.....ha!(but for real though!)

What have I gained??
 I've gained amazing friends, the joy of helping others reach their goals, messages daily from those who FEEL better, healthier, happier, who are fitting into their old clothes and keeping up with their kids! 
I've gained my own personal accountability and most of all, a thriving business that's allowing my husband and I to TRAVEL so much this year and pay off debt...both goals of ours and we get to enjoy all of this as we continue growing it to become our future full time income! 

I’ll take checking in with my amazing clients & team of coaches and hearing their success stories ANY NIGHT over some reality TV! 

Now, it's definitely not for everyone, but when this business falls into the lap of the right person.....amazing things can happen!

If you're tired of just going to work for a paycheck and wanting to restore that passion in your own life...to feel a sense of purpose and excitement...if you have a drive to get healthier yourself and to help support others in their journey along the way...YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!!

3 Day Superfood Detox Cleanse Results!!

Here are my final results from my Superfood Detox Cleanse I completed last week! 

I'm pretty impressed with the results I got in just 3 days. I was also impressed with how easy this cleanse was to complete! 

Sure there were some times I felt weak and wanted to raid my pantry, but overall I didn't have cravings or feel like I was depriving myself. I think the fact that I was filling my body with TONS of superfood nutrients throughout the entire 3 days is what helped me feel so good and helped me not to have cravings like I have with other cleanses.

Fitness is a journey, not a destination! We all have highs and lows and even fit people sometimes need a little jump start to get them through a rough point or a plateau. This was exactly what I needed to detox after my 4 day binge of eating out and excessive celebrations. 

Overall I lost 5.5 total inches from my waist/hips/thighs and I think about 4 pounds!! 

I know some of that is water weight which is fine but I'm still happy with the way I looked afterwards. I lost some of that bloat I was feeling before and I felt lighter and more energized!

If you're looking to jump start your results or have an event/vacation coming up, or even just need a little 3 day break from processed food and are looking for a way to rid the toxins and feed your body what it needs....

Day 3 of 3 of my Superfood Detox Cleanse

Day 3 Of My 3 Day Superfood Detox Cleanse Completed!!

Well I can officially say I completed my 3 day detox cleanse!!!! 

Day 3 was yesterday and surprisingly it was the easiest all all 3 days up until around 4:00pm when I hit a wall!

The day started out amazing! I felt so much energy. I felt very clear headed. I was feeling great and I wasn't feeling hungry or deprived at all! 

I had my Shake for breakfast around 7:30am. I had a banana around 10:30am for a mid-morning snack. Then had my second shake around 12:45 and to be honest, I only had it because I knew I needed to eat something, not because I was hungry. 

Then I got super busy at work and before I knew it, it was 4pm and I was STARVING!!! 

The previous 2 days I had my 3rd shake around 4-4:30 pm and on this third day I kinda hit a wall at this time and I knew I needed some calories!

Luckily I had an apple with me so I quickly scarfed that down and I was fine after that! 

On my drive home from work I began to imagine all the things I wanted to eat and I started to question why I was even doing this....but I'm very competitive and I couldn't just quick when I was this close to being finished. 

I came home and immediately made my grilled chicken salad which was de-lish! 

I had my 3rd shake for dessert :) 

I took my result photos and measurements this morning and I was VERY pleased!!!! I will post once I go through  my photos for you all :)  

All in all...was it worth it? 

I think it was a great way to take a 3 day break from processed foods, eating out, alcohol, and give my body a super dose of superfoods nutrients and clean food! 

My results were very good and I'm very pleased with that!

I felt great overall during this cleanse for the most part. I did experience an energy level dip in the afternoons, especially this last day, but  I was still able to go about my busy work day and do my workouts! 

So I'm sure you're wondering what I ate today after my cleanse was done? 

So I did have my Ezekiel bread toasted with natural peanut butter this morning and my favorite Quest bar for a mid morning snack. Interestingly it tasted super salty to me after these last 3 days without one! I had a turkey spinach wrap for lunch and I actually felt uninspired and had a chocolate vegan Shakeology for dinner with some fruit added in....I can't get enough of this stuff clearly! :)

I'm proud I stuck with it.....Results to come! 

Day 2 of My 3 Day Superfood Detox Cleanse

Day 2 of My 3 Day Superfood Cleanse!

Alright guys...so today was a little harder but it was still not as bad as I expected! This plan really is not that bad! I got a little hungry today and felt a little mini headache before lunch but I also didn't get to eat my snack until lunch due to a busy morning with my patients.

For Breakfast - I had my 1 cup of coffee again with my small addition of coconut oil (ok so coffee isn't really on the plan, but I'm not ready to give that up just yet...)

Then I made my chocolate vegan shakeology with a lot of cold water, ice, and half a banana (going for volume this morning!).

I got slammed at work so I didn't get to eat again until noon. I was pretty hungry around this time and I started to think about the food everyone else was ordering in the office around me....oh the temptations!! 

I quickly made my 2nd shake for Lunch- this time with just water- and this curbed my cravings! I then ate my apple (my snack) which helped fill me up more!

Around the time I was driving home from work today, I was starting to cave...I started to think..why am I even doing this?! 

I often graze when I get home from work and I was dreaming about what was in my pantry....Ok...I had a small handful of raw almonds....If that's a "Cheat" then I guess I cheated but my goal is not to lose weight with this cleanse. 

My Cookies n' Cream Quest Bars were taunting me and I didn't want to give in so what did I do for motivation?!? 

I jumped on YouTube and watched some videos of others who have done this cleanse and that really inspired me to push through and continue on. It also inspired me to make a video! - See below :) 

I made my 3rd shake to avoid temptation and decided to switch things up and make a strawberry shake this time. I did water and I decided to add in another half a banana - I'm not doing this for weight loss. 

I then did my 30 mins workout (I did a LesMillsPump workout) and this gave me a lot of energy!

It's about 8pm now and I'm really not even hungry at all. I feel completely satisfied and energized. To be honest, I feel better than I have all day. 

I'm about to make my LARGE salad with grilled chicken and lots of veggies and call it a night! 

Let's see if I can make it through tomorrow- I have a busy day at work so that will either help me or make me really hungry :) 

Day 1 of my 3 Day Superfood Detox Cleanse

Alright so I've almost completed Day 1 of my 3 day Superfood Detox Cleanse!! 


It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. Work kept me pretty busy and that helped keep my mind off my normal morning snack (Oh Quest Bar, I missed you!!)

I started my day with 1 cup of coffee with a small amount of coconut oil added (no sugar, no sweetener). 

About 1 hour later I made my Chocolate Vegan Shakeology for breakfast with just good ole' H20 and half a banana before leaving for work.

Work kept me pretty busy this morning so I had lunch around 12:45 and had my 2nd Shakeology of the day with water. I also had 1 banana about 30 mins after my shake (I planned on an apple but the banana was more tempting).

I left work around 4pm today and I have to admit...all I could think about was that I get to eat food I can CHEW for dinner!!! 

I actually didn't feel that hungry but I could feel my energy level starting to decrease and the thought of working out was not as appealing as normal.

I decided to make my 3rd Shake at 4:30pm so that I can gain more energy for an evening workout and then plan to eat my LARGE grilled chicken salad a little later to space things out and to hold me over all night.

So far though, I haven't really felt hungry at all. The Shakes are packed full of Superfood nutrients and they keep me pretty satisfied. I also feel ready to take on my workout now that I had my 3rd Shake.

We will see how the workout goes...not going to lie though...I am really looking forward to my dinner! 

Until tomorrow..... 

3 Day Sueprfood Detox Cleanse!

Alright, It's confession time! 

This weekend I had a great time celebrating with friends and family and had 4 rounds of graduation celebrations! The festivities kicked off Thursday evening and included many heavy dinners and lunches out as well as too many celebratory drinks! By Sunday I was feeling pretty blah and my wedding ring was way too tight!

Like everyone else, I give into temptations and I don't always follow my own "meal plans"...let's be honest- life happens!

I won't let my weekend of indulgence throw me off my track to success. I won't let it become my new normal! I'm leading a group of women to better health through good clean eating and fitness and this helps me stay accountable! I enjoyed myself this weekend but I  am committed to making better choices and getting back to my clean eating plan! 

Another motivator for me is the fact that we are going to spend the Memorial Day weekend at the beach! Now, I'm not saying I'm fat, but you know how you feel when it's time to put on that tiny bikini and you don't feel your best?! Well after this weekend of Italian meals and martinis...It's time for a "Detox".

I've been hearing amazing things about this 3 day superfood cleanse so I decided to give it a try to detox my system :)

 The best thing is that with this cleanse...I get to eat REAL food! It's not about starving or depriving myself, this 3 day "Detox" is about adding in super-dense nutrients and clean food!

I'll share my daily results with u guys in 3 days and include my before and after photos and inches!
