PiYo Journey!

Yesterday, Me and My Challenge Group began a 60 Day PiYo Journey! I have 14 ladies joining me in this journey and I cannot wait to see their results!!



So what is all the hype about PiYo??

  • It's Low Impact
  • It's great for anyone of any age and any fitness level
  • It has a modifier if needed
  • It's intense yet not hard on your joints
  • It requires NO equipment
  • It carves out your muscle using body weight
  • Chalene Johnson developed it...enough said!
  • It helps you to become more flexible therefore protecting you from future injuries
  • It strengthens but its also good cardio

I have everyone imaginable in my PiYo group from young to older to cardio junkies to P90X weight lifters to new moms to old moms. We are going to work really hard together, support one another, and keep each other accountable to our workouts and nutrition!

My personal goals are:
  • To lose 5ish lbs that I have gained recently
  • To improve my clean eating
  • To get more defined core
  • Gain flexibility...I NEED this!!
  • Finally to help others in the group meet their goals!
We have completed Align: The Fundamentals and Define: Lower Body so far. Here's a snap from Day 2 (earlier this morning) from Define: Lower Body!


I am going to clean up my diet more and my portion sizes. I like to use the 21 Day Fix as my guideline for my nutrition. This week I am on vacation and although I have brought some food and drank my Shakeology daily, I am really missing my vegetables!! Traveling is tough but it is also a part of life and you just have to do your best, right?

It's been a while...

Hello there! It's been a while huh? Um I think about 3 years!! A lot has happened in those 3 years...3 places of work, pregnancy, and mom life! So what's new?? I worked at a small outpatient clinic...didn't like it! Went to an awesome hospital in the city...LOVED it!! Then after having my son took a position at a local hospital...only 8 minutes from home vs the hospital in the city which was 55 minutes on a good traffic day! I found out I was prego a few days before Christmas 2016...yes it was planned. For YEARS, we said NO kids ever! My father died in 2015 and my whole thought process on kiddos changed! Landon David arrived 8/14/17 via planned c section...he was breech! I stressed myself out incredibly too much about sleep, breastfeeding, being perfect, etc AND I suffered from Postpartum Depression and Anxiety! One thing I have learned about Motherhood is that you can plan, but you have to expect the unexpected!! Once I accepted this, my anxiety died down A LOT...
