So excited to announce that I will co host a  2 week transformation challenge.  Its going to be group of us ladies in a private online group. Everyday we will work out, checking in with each other daily, drinking plenty of water, and staying committed to our nutrition plan for 14 days straight! And the best part about it is its FREE!!

I absolutely love hosting these challenges to get to know more ladies on their fitness journey. This is what makes what I do as coach so fun. I will work one on one with each of the ladies to get them registered. They will get FREE access to over 600 online workouts and nutrition plans, and help them choose the right one for their fitness level and goals. Over the span of 14 days we are going to share posts everyday. All posts will be positive, sweaty selfies after our workouts, water intake posts, and pics of our meals.

The idea of the challenge is to promote accountability and encouragement. I remember when I recommitted to my health and fitness journey over a year ago.  Having a group of likeminded ladies to hold me accountable, encourage and inspire me made a world of difference. Anytime I can pay that forward I do. With that being said what is a challenge without a prize right?! So in the spirit of paying it forward I will also give out a prize to the challenge participant that posts daily and has the best transformation!!

Our challenge will kick off after the 4th of July Holiday. Contact me asap if you would like to join us or know someone else who would like to join in the fun. The more the merrier!!

The Team Fierce and Fit Movement is taking off and we don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. Being your own boss isn’t always easy but this is my passion. There are so many women in my community who have no idea that they can earn an income while they get in shape. They don’t know that women are out here making millions by sharing their fitness journey on social media and inspiring others to live a healthy lifestyle. 

Once I leaned about this business I made it my mission to share and empower women and mothers just like me. There are so many lives in our community that are waiting to be changed. Lives that can be saved by switching to a healthier lifestyle. There is money to be made by living a healthy lifestyle and inspiring others to do the same. I wake up every morning ready to share this amazing opportunity to start your own business and change lives. ???

When I first started my journey again with Beachbody about a year ago, I became a coach mainly because I knew if other people were depending on me, I would stay motivated to stay on track and keep going. Once I got into the business I learn just how much earning potential this business opportunity really had. I couldn’t believe that people were turning a $160 investment into millions. (income is not guaranteed  but a direct reflection of our efforts and the lives we impact). I knew I had stumbled upon a gold mine because helping people with their health and fitness is something I was doing already for free. This moment marks the birthing of Team Fierce and Fit.

This hade to be shared! There was no way I was going to keep this to myself. I started sharing it with friends and family. Most of which thought I was crazy by the way. I started sharing it with members of my challenge group. After all they were already using Beachbody programs, and knew first hand how amazing they are. But most of them didn’t truly believe this opportunity would yield a legit income. That wasn’t going to stop me. As I looked around and saw women and moms just like me, anxious to live a healthy lifestyle. Ladies that yearned for financial freedom and empowerment. I knew it would be selfish of me to not share this opportunity with them. I had to push past my fear and hurt of rejection. They had to know that this opportunity was available to them too. I am so glad I did.  Allow me to introduce to you the amazing ladies of Team Fierce and Fit.

These are just some of the ladies that have taken the leap of faith, believed in themselves, and became their own CEO. They are mothers, daughters, sisters, survivors, hard workers, and inspirational warriors fighting against the trend of obesity. I’m so glad I took the leap of faith and stepped out of my comfort zone to become a coach. I would have otherwise not had the pleasure of meeting these ladies.  I am incredibly grateful.

“A winner doesn’t quit on themselves.” ???
I woke up this morning filled with gratitude? I put out the vibe that Im looking for my tribe.

My deep rooted love affair with entrepreneurship is powerful.  In all it’s power there are days when even I need a little pick me up and inspiration. Conference calls and consultations done. Now a little me time. .

Being your own boss is not easy at all. Times like this I love to seek out and soak up the wisdom of those who have been there and done that. Im currently listening to the Girl Code audio book by author Cara Alwill Leyba. I highly recommend it for my fellow female entrepreneur friends. As soon as I finish Girl Code I plan to complete The Ultimate Business Advantage exclusive online corse offered by non other than THE Tony Robbins.

I am so grateful for my life as a coach. Everyday I get to connect with amazing people. I am inspired by those who tell me they are inspired by me. It just affirms me that I am on the right path and to keep going. .

If I have inspired you I am grateful. I see you, I hear you, and I am here for you. Go for your goals in 2017!

So you want to get into fitness?! Thank you so much for visiting my page and joining me on my fitness journey. I created this page to connect with women and mothers like myself who are always ready to better themselves. Maybe you know the importance of keeping your body in shape, but need a little push. As a mother of two I know how we have a bad habit of taking care of everyone else while sometimes neglecting to take care of ourselves. This is even more evident when you have little ones. The truth is, if we are running on empty,  how can we expect to be any good to anyone else. Fact of the matter is, you cant, at least not in the best way.  I know this from experience because I have been there.  You and your family are connected. As the mother you set the tone of the home. When I felt down and out about myself and my weight, it didn’t matter how bright my smile was, and how cheerful my voice was, my children still felt my pain. I am here for you to be your push.  I am here to tell you that not only is it ok to think about what you need, but it is necessary! 

As your health an fitness coach I help guide you to the right fitness programs, then coach you to get the best results from those programs. I enjoy helping, motivating, and inspiring people. I want to help you discover your health and fitness goals, then guide you and push you to crush those goals. I will be there every step of the way. All you will have to do is commit to working out, following your workout schedule and your nutrition plan, and join our accountability challenge group. Here in the accountability group you will meet new people, and gain friends. We will share, learn, motivate, inspire, and most importantly, hold one another accountable.

I want you to look and feel better than you imagined you could. Your only limitations are the ones you give yourself. Be a light in this world. Be Fierce.  Don’t forget to like my Facebook coaching page, and tag a friend.

I wanted to share my latest spring fashion inspiration, as spring is swiftly approaching. This particular outfit is worn by the beautiful Angela Simmons.

Image credit: Instagram

The color choices in the ensemble are vibrant and gorgeous. The bold yellow jacket, matched with the vivid hot pink pumps. I must say my favorite piece to this outfit is the pink pumps. The vivid hue of the hot pink Brian Atwood pumps almost appears ablaze against her skin tone.

Inspired by Angela’s smoking hot ensemble, I styled this outfit.

This outfit features a yellow silk-wool blend fitted military jacket by Alexandre Vauthier, the perfect spring fashion piece. I paired the yellow jacket with flattering light washed distressed stretch jeans by Paige Denim. The white tank top by Rag & Bone is a loose fit, and lightweight jersey material, with a breast pocket. For the shoes, I chose Christin Louboutin So Kate 120mm pumps in stunning hot pink patent leather. These hot pink pumps could really hold their own in this ensemble, with or without the jacket. To add the finishing touches, I accessorize with a beautiful multicolored stone and crystal necklace with the matching three finger ring by Shourouk Tyson.

Does anyone else get excited when its time to ditch their deep burgundy lipstick for a lighter pink shade. That’s why I chose this Mac Pink Pigeon Matte lipstick. This always happens to me around the change of the season. I can’t wait to adjust my lipsticks and clothes. I have always loved the richness of fall fashion. I have more black and grey in my closet than Id like to admit. However, I must say that I am so ready for things to brighten up a bit. Including my closet. This is the perfect spring fashion ensemble to usher in the beautiful days of spring ahead. How will you brighten up your closet for spring?

Well loves it’s been about 4 months and 23 days since my last post. Life has been hectic these past couple of months, and I’ve been super busy. However, I have not forgotten about you, and what better day to jump back in the swing of things than National Drink Wine Day! This post is for all my readers across the nations who are fellow wine lovers. Cheers to celebrating a holiday where we do what we do every day anyway!

So, to celebrate I’m going to give you 4 Good Reasons You Should Enjoy A Glass Of Wine At Some Point Today. There is nothing like kicking back after a hard day (or any day) and enjoying a nice glass (or two or three) of your favorite wine. Maybe you will even enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching a documentary such as Somm or Red Obsession (Thank you Netflix).

Now, if you do not partake for you own reasons that is your choice. I can’t say I understand it, but hey… to each his own. I would be remiss if I did not give you some facts about the benefits of drinking wine on this wonderful day of celebration. With that being said, lets get into these 4 reasons you should enjoy a glass of wine at some point today.

Reason #1. Be Merry

In September 2015, Medical News Today released an article on the benefits of wine consumption in moderation. One benefit they noted was from a study that determined that, men and women who consume two to seven glasses of wine per week were less likely to suffer from depression. Yes, you read that right, Two to seven glasses. Happy sipping!

Reason #2. For Your Heart

According to Web MD, wine drinkers as a group, have a significantly lower mortality from cardiovascular disease, and cancer. I’ll toast to that!

Reason #3. For Your Skin

Red wine is full of antioxidants. Antioxidants are known for their anti aging properties, and fighting free radicals in order to keep your skin looking younger. Cheers Beautiful!

Reason #4. For Weight Loss

Go ahead and read that again. Yes, for weight loss! Can you believe it? As if wine couldn’t get any better, it also helps you loose weight! Researcher from The University of Alberta in Canada discovered, red wine has a natural compound called resveratrol. Resveratrol is proven to show the same results as extensive endurance exercise training. In essence drinking a glass of red wine is like spending an hour at the gym. I’ll take the entire bottle please, thanks!

You know, I do not discriminate with my wine. I enjoy red, white, rose, sparkling, or dessert. Now don’t get all wine snob on me. I have tried my fair share of wines, but I’m not going to pretend I’m a certified Sommelier. The world of wine is so big; my list of experiences would look rather small compared to it. Some of the wines I’ve enjoyed include: Merlot, Malbec, Resling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Zinfendel, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Moscato, Moscato d’Asti, Spumante, Brut, and my latest Gewurtztraminer. I should not forget Honey Meade as an honorable mention. Here is a montage of my friends and I enjoying this divine beverage over the years. I threw a beer in there for fun sake.

Have I convinced you to have a glass today? If so, what wine will you have? I want to hear from you in the comments Loves. Cheers!

Hello, Loves! Every Monday I like to start the week of with a little motivation, so I started #MotivatedMonday. Monday Has such a bad rep compared to the other six days of the week. Monday mornings are usually meet with gripes, complaints, and down right mourning the dreaded end of the weekend. With #MotivatedMonday, I wanted to send out positive energy and motivational quotes that will uplift, amuse, and inspire.

I believe the beginning of the week should be met with energy, determination, and confidence. Here are five quotes from this weeks #MotivatedMonday, that are sure to help you start your week right.

1.) ALWAYS SMILE

It is a scientific fact that when you smile at someone their instinctive reaction is to smile back. Smiling can benefit your physical health, as well as emotional health. Physically smiling can relax your body, and lower your heart rate, as well as your blood pressure. Emotionally smiling releases neural signals in your brain that fight depression, and stress. As a bonus, studies show that others find you more attractive when you smile, and, as a result, treat you better. So as it turns out smiling is all around better for you. So smile Love!

2.) DO SOMETHING EVERYDAY THAT BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO YOUR GOALS.

I find it helpful to start each month/ week/ day with a set of goals. Each goal may lead up to an ultimate goal, or they could be a set of small individual goal. Either way, I find that I am more productive, satisfied, and overall happy if I have set out an intention for what I do on a daily basis. Know that you may not reach every goal or intention when you want to, but doing something every day that brings you closer to your goals is sure to get you closer than you think to reach them.

3.) TRAIN YOU MIND TO SEE THE POSITIVE IN EVERYTHING

This tip can get a little bit tricky. My peers know me as optimistic. It was my nickname as a cheerleader in college. However, even the cheeriest of cheerleaders can find themselves in a funk. It could be school issues, family issue, relationship issue, financial issue, job issues. Sometimes it can feel like each issue hit you at once, or one after the other. Stress can turn you into a not so fun person to be around. I have caught myself slowly slipping into my Eeyore attItude with my dark cloud hovering over me, following me as I mope through the day. I can happen to the best of us, and the only way to part those dark clouds is to see the silver lining. Fight that negativity with positivity. Focusing on what you are grateful for is a great start.

4.) WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG IN YOUR LIFE, JUST YELL “PLOT TWIST” AND MOVE ON.

I truly get a kick out of this quote. I understand that realistically as a mature adult, this may not be the answer to every issue one may find themselves up against. However, it sure cures the small issues that we shouldn’t dwell upon. I have been through issues that made me feel like it was the end of my world. And low and behold, I’m still here. If I would have known then what I know now, I surely would have yelled “PLOT TWIST” and moved right along.

5.) HAVING A ROUGH DAY? PLACE YOUR HAND OVER YOUR HEART. FEEL THAT? THAT’S CALLED PURPOSE. YOU’RE ALIVE FOR A REASON. DON’T GIVE UP!

This quote may be lengthy, but what it lacks in brevity, it makes up for with validity. I am a strong believer that every human being has a spiritual assignment here on earth. I am not sure that I completely understand my assignment, but I do know that If I am still here then I have not completed it yet. The present is a gift. I pray every day that I am productive in fulfilling my spiritual assignment, and not otherwise unappreciative of being blessed to be in the present. If you are blessed to be here in the present, Don’t give up Love, you have a purpose.
