Ahhh where have I been??

Hello Friends!! Sorry I have not kept up with my posts lately. It all started with me going out of town and then coming to conclusion that I needed to make some changes in my life... I am striving to a better Christian, a better wife, a better physical therapist, a better barrel racer, and a better fitness professional!! Things have been good though. I am still doing P90X3, running challenge groups, and eating mostly clean. I am on week 4 of P90X3/PiYo. I am loving this program!! I can tell that I am getting stronger every week and I am very excited to start next week as I get to incorporate weights!! Here is my meal plan and workout schedule for Oct 31-Nov 7...

Cheap, Clean, Easy Chicken

So I am on this save money and pay off debt train... Who doesn't love a easy meal? Crockpot Chicken Directions: Buy a whole chicken and clean out the giblets Ball up 3 pieces of foil and put them in the bottom of your crockpot        3. Coat chicken in coconut oil and your favorite seasonings        4. Place whole chicken in crockpot        5. Cook on low for 8 hours Warning this chicken will be super tender and may fall apart while getting it out of the crockpot!! I also scooped out the liquid and refrigerated it, scraped off the fat the next day, and froze it. You can use this to make gravy, soup, etc. I also added the chicken bones and skin to some water and spices in the crockpot and cooked on low for 12 hours to make broth. After removing the bones and skin, I added lentils and veggies and cooked on low for 3 hours. The chicken made us 8 servings of chicken and 12 servings of...

A Change Up

Sooo I decided late last Sunday that I just wasn't feeling Body Beast enough. I mean I tell people all day long that they have to find a workout that they love to do or they lose motivation. I just didn't feel like working out with Body Beast. I KNOW it's a great program and could give me great results, but I just didn't LOVE it. I decided to go back to my soulmate workout...P90X3 and throw in some PiYo too for flexibility and strength. I really enjoyed my workouts this week and feel soooo much better!! Remember that no matter what, you should only compare yourself to yourself. You want to better than you were last week, last year, or even yesterday. You are your only competition!! It really was a happy Friday for me. I felt like my stars were aligned after a great week of workouts I LOVE!! Here is my meal plan for the week. I am headed out of town Friday into early next week so I am packing easy, non perishables for my trip and keeping it CLEAN!! BREA...

Body Beast Week 5!

I have had a great week of workouts and really feel like I am leaning up more! I do have to admit that I miss cardio and PiYo...oh and especially P90X3 (it's my soulmate workout!), but I am committed to complete this program and know that I will see results from it! Here was my workout schedule for the week: Monday - Bulk Chest Tuesday - Bulk Legs Wednesday - Bulk Arms Thursday - Bulk Back Friday - Bulk Shoulders Saturday - Taught Insanity Class Sunday - REST DAY I want to encourage all of you at ALL times to Get Up and Workout now matter what! You won't regret it I promise :) My day is never as good as it could be without a workout to start with! Another tip... Dress for Success! If you are wearing cute workout clothes, typically you'll push yourself harder in your workouts and have more fun!! Last tip... Exercise has changed my life drastically and many others that I have helped feel the same exact way! If you don't believe me, I challenge you to...
