This beautiful woman is my mom Carla and she is also one of the MOST in-shape grandmas I know! She has lost 13.5 inches and 3 pants sizes with Turbo Fire & the 21 Day Fix. She is also finishing P90 before kicking it up a notch with the 21 Day Fix Extreme! She is also the biggest nurturer in my online health and fitness groups. She supports everyone and lifts their spirits on good and bad days. And she loves the positive community of ladies motivating and inspiring each other.

Although my Mom is one of my Beachbody coaches now, she was NOT sold on any kind of shake or fitness DVD when I started my journey over 2 years ago. In fact, when I walked into my parents house all happy with my chocolate Shakeology, she said "don't even think that I'm going to do these shakes, been there, done that." I didn't even ask!! The next time I came over, she asked to try it & said, "that is actually quite good." I brought her a sample & she fell in love! She was also my biggest cheerleader & when she saw my transformation that I had, she said, "I'm in! I'm ready!"

My Mom, like so many I know, was tired of the up & down weight fluctuations and constantly gaining it all back after she tried other programs. But this time, it was about a life change and not just nutrition, but she also added in consistent exercise. The shorter 30 minute workouts fit into her schedule & she loves the modifications because of a bad knee. She also liked the ease of following a workout calendar each day. And she wasn't an athlete...unless you consider her Honey Bear cheerleading days in high school :) But this woman is an active hiker, camper, and Alaskan adventurer.

It is truly amazing to watch her transformation. I told her she is a walking success story and proof that at any age you can get into the best shape & be as present as you want in life. All she did was give it a chance and want to live her best life & share adventures with my brother, her grandchildren, and me. I am forever blessed that God chose her as my mom, mentor, and role model.

Believe & Achieve,

First, it starts like this...one day at a time. And it has to so you can make life changes you can stick with. Too many times I got in shape or started a "diet" just for an event or vacation & then I was done. So you can't expect to make an entire life change over night. You have to be patient with yourself and you have to have a plan. That is why the 21 Day Fix changed my life last year.

I will be honest, I was pretty lost when it came to nutrition a few years ago. I am a foodie - I love to try new restaurants, previously worked as a restaurant manager, and love the social aspect of going out for dinner & drinks just because! All of the calories add up and can really take a toll on our health. The 21 Day Fix is the real deal because it's a simple formula.

Nutrition + Exercise = BIG Results!

Sounds simple but it really is because the program gives you everything you need to be successful. It comes with color-coded containers for each food group, a meal guide that you use to customize your meal plan, 30 minute workouts for every muscle group (even a Pilates  and yoga day) - one for each day of the week, PLUS Shakeology (amazing nutritional shake with over 70 vitamins and minerals). And it's only for 21 Days! You can even tie in some red wine and chocolate!
