This is hard for me to write about. I don't normally like to dig back into my past but I was really thinking about this today and needed to get it out.
So, these pictures on the left are from 2010, a trip we took out east to go visit family! I was looking back at the album today and noticed something that really made me quite sad and still does as I write this now. Look at my face. Look at the sadness there. I look at these and MANY of the photos from this trip and do not see happiness. I see someone trying to hide, someone who lost their confidence, someone I really didn't realize I had become until years later. You would truly think being on such an amazing vacation and visiting my amazing family there would be a REAL smile on my face. I do not see that here and that breaks my heart because I never noticed it before. It was years later I finally admitted to myself who I had become... A shell.. a shell of who I once was, going day by day, doing the same thing over and over and over, just hoping for a different result.
On our team call I was able to reflect back on this past year and decided to scroll through some of my photos and memories. I see such a different person. This person I have become has been a long time coming. I have done things I had never dreamed of; pushed myself so far outside of my comfort zone; been places I never ever thought I would go but always wanted to. This year has been a true blessing. Thankful is a huge understatement of what I am feeling right now, overwhelmed, relieved, satisfied are a few of the feelings I have.
Those after pictures, that smile, the confidence radiating out of them just makes my heart Explode with JOY!! I am home! I am no longer a shell. I AM ME!!! I took the time to work on me and I AM BACK
Thank you!!!

What is The Master’s Hammer and Chisel™?
For the very first time, trainers Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese have teamed up to create an expert program designed to help you craft a powerful, perfectly defined body. The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is an innovative resistancetraining system that incorporates three muscle-sculpting phases—Stabilization, Strength, and Power—or SSP Training. This is how Sagi and Autumn help you efficiently build, chisel, and refine a masterpiece physique in just 60 days.
About your Trainers
Co-creators Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese are experts when it comes to incredible physical transformations. Sagi has been crowned Mr. Israel— twice—and is a Master Professional Personal Trainer, IFBB Pro, member of the IFBB Propta Hall of Fame, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist. Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity trainer, best-selling author, and working mom who has held certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA), and has competed at the national level in various bikini competitions.
What makes The Master’s Hammer and Chisel incredibly effective and unique?
• The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is built on the three phases of SSP Training— Stabilization, Strength, and Power. Other workouts only focus on one or two phases, which might give you decent results. But The Master’s Hammer and Chisel program incorporates all three methods to help you relentlessly chip away fat and carve every muscle for a strong, visually stunning body in 60 days.
• 12 brand-new, 30- to 40-minute workouts that combine Sagi and Autumn’s proven techniques for 60 days of hardcore resistance training.
• Sagi and Autumn make eating for your goals simple. That’s why they included their easy-to-follow and completely customizable nutrition plan, along with 7 portion-control containers that show you how to portion out the right amount of food to help you reach your unique fitness goals.
• Flexible nutrition that allows you to lean out, sculpt and maintain, or build muscle.
• Includes options to adapt certain exercises if you have limited access to equipment.
• Includes a modifier who demonstrates some moves at a lower intensity.

Cinnamon, Vanilla & Chocolate Shakeology Goodness!!
I am in LOVE with this one! Have had it the past couple of days and just can't get enough of it so I thought it would be best to share it instead of keep it all to myself :)
Ingredients:
1 Scoop of Chocolate or Vegan Chocolate Shakeology
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup of Water
About 6 Ice cubes
Directions:
Grab your blender, add some water, then ice, your scoop of chocolate Shakeology, add the vanilla and the cinnamon then top with the rest of the water. Put the lid on and blend for 30 seconds or longer. Easy peasy, tastes so good and so good for you!
Try it out and let me know what you think!

Friday, August 7, 2015
Well the day has come :) As of today I am a Full Time Beachbody Coach AND Stay at Home Mom!!
Last year was a whirlwind of change and why would this year be any different!
Oh my gosh it is scarey but this is where my heart is and it IS where I belong. When I left my job in Toronto to come home I took on 2 other jobs from home as well. It was hard to find the time to be with the girls as I was on the computer from morning til night trying to keep up with the workloads.
2 weeks ago we decided that I would leave my Mortgage business for now and just focus on my other job, the girls and Beachbody until October when we would re-evaluate the situation. Well the universe had other plans. I believe everything happens for a reason and this, I believe wholeheartedly is a blessing for us!
The past couple of weeks have been one of the best! I was able to let the stresses of my previous job slowly float away. I was able to spend sooo much time with my girls! We went to the trailer, spent time with family, went to Legoland, the zoo and we danced ❤❤
I really want to thank my family and friends for all of their support!
Mom, Dad and Glen you are my biggest fans and love you to pieces for telling me to always follow my dreams ❤
And a very special thank you to my husband for always pushing me further and believing in me that I CAN do this! You are my biggest supporter and I am so happy you came into my life xoxo

My Life Will NEVER Be The Same!
Tuesday, June 30, 2015
Alright I keep deleting this post BUT here it goes!!
Last year I decided to make a change in myself. I would start spending time on ME! My days used to consist of getting up early to get ready for work before the kids were even up. I would leave for work at 7am to get to work for 8:30. Work the day away and get home at 6:30. Just enough time to have about an hour and a half with the girls then sit down and watch a show on the TV and do the exact same thing the next day and day after that... I felt drained, I was miserable, didn't feel like doing anything EVER!
One day I was scrolling my news-feed and this little boy was pointing at me. I read the post by amazing friend who was asking if I wanted to know what she does as a Beachbody coach, how she gets paid to workout and how her husband retired from his corporate job! OF COURSE I WANTED TO KNOW! Really what could it hurt to find out how they are working from home and LIVING life with their children!
If I didn't comment on that post to find out I would probably still be working in Toronto away from my children. I would still be on the couch each night watching TV and eating junk. I would still be grumpy and miserable with myself and the life that I thought I was living.
That post of that little boy CHANGED my life! I started working on me! I worked out late at night after the kids were in bed, instead of sitting on the couch watching tv. Started eating healthier, becoming more positive everyday. It's true what they say "Surround yourself with those that lift you higher". With so many positive people around me I became HAPPY!!! Things started to change in and all around me. I decided to leave my Toronto career that I had been doing for 10 years, I improved my health, improved my eyesight, improved my relationship with my family and found out what I was made to do!
