SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT ~ Holiday Smackdown

Hi Everyone!! 

So yes I am not the perfect blogger that's for sure. But who is perfect for that matter??? So going to try this again so I can keep track of my next upcoming goal. 

I'm super excited, 😄 I just found out that last week that I was selected to be part of a super exclusive and elite coach group for the newest Beachbody program! You all know how I love my Beachbody programs. I've had such great success over the last 10 years with them. Since I love variety and switching things up, their programs work out perfect for me. But like everyone else I am far from being perfect and I've had my own struggles throughout the years when it has come to my health and fitness.

So with that being said, the last year has been a huge struggle for me  both physically and mentally and I haven't wanted to share it with anyone. I'm so thankful to be given this opportunity! It is just what I need at this point in time for me. I know it will be the kick in the pants that I need. I'm so excited to be part of this group who is going to hold me accountable to do my best and get results.

More than that, I'm thrilled that this group is being ran by a top founding coach whom I respect very much and who I can learn from so that I am even better equipped to help all my challengers reach their goals as well! It's a win-win for all of us!!👍

So thankful and blessed and I'm so READY for the next 30 days!!! I will journal my progress here as I go along.

Start date for our group is coming up on Monday Nov 7th. Just took my before pictures...YIKES!! Me no likey them!!! lol But hey life happens and luckily I have the tools to get me back on track.

This program that I will be doing, is going to be a game changer on how we approach this holiday season!!! So posted below are my before pics that I took yesterday. So for those that want to see what's under the ribbon you will just have to follow me til the end of this 30 day journey that i am partaking on in a few days. I bought a fresh new notebook to journal it all. For me, my main issue is the nutrition. If I can nail that,  I will do awesome! 

Are you in need of something to spice up your fitness routine, break a plateau or even start you fitness journey? Do you want a workout that will keep your attention, is high energy, fun and easy to follow? 

Creators, Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews have created Core De Force which is a 30 day total body transformation that will get you in the best shape of your life. It focuses on 360 degree core rotation, explosive jumps and punches and body weight strength workouts to help you reach your own personal goals.

This workout is for EVERY ability level because there is a modifier and different levels of intensity you can start with then work your way up as you improve your strength, flexibility and endurance.

In addition to being selected to be in an exclusive coach group for this new program, My team and I are hosting one of our own!

Creating Your Own Masterpiece

Do you have some kind of craft or hobby you enjoy doing that you just downright find therapeutic for you? 

For me that is when I get to go get my paint on. I don't usually paint at home. But I do love to however love to head over to my friend Tina's business ArtfullyYours Painting in Mashpee, MA to get my paint on. I met Tina a few years back when she just opened her business and just enjoyed my time at the class. It's a totally relaxed atmosphere in there and it just totally relaxes me. 

I've always enjoyed drawing and being crafty, but don't always get to do it on a regular basis. So for me getting out of the house for a few hours to go paint, have a drink or two, listen to some tunes while creating my own masterpiece is something I look forward to when i do get the chance to do it. Funny thing is when I'm painting I can be very critical of what i am doing but yet I'm still totally chilled and just going with it. A few weeks agao I had seen a picture of one of the upcoming classes and I just loved it. What a super cute holiday picture that would make to add to my collection, I thought to myself. So here is my latest whimsical creation called Frosted Winter Wonderland! 

I find it so cool to watch everyone else paint as we all start off with the same blank canvas and what transpires in just a few short hours.  It's pretty cool. So I just wanted to share with you some of my other creations. I highly recommend if you have one of these paint bars in your area to go try it out. I think you will be amazed at what you can actually do. You would be amazed at the people that said i don't do painting or I could never paint that. Then when they are done they are surprised at how good it actually did  come out.  It's a fun time out meeting new people and just kicking back. 

Here is the very 1st one that I ever painted. It was supposed to have 3 fish in the picture but I decided to only do one. And that's the great thing about this. Do you have to follow it exactly the way the artist has it. Absolutely NOT!! You can make it your own creation. Which goes for the way we live our lives. Be your own person. Be the BEST version of YOU that you can be!!! 

So get out of your comfort zone and try something new that you normally wouldn't do and just do it. So in case I ever get famous when I do my paintings now I always have a heart somewhere in the painting and I use the dots to add to it for a little whimsey. Just something that i like to incorporate and it's fun to think of how I will add them into my painting. 

SO GO GET CREATIVE!! So what hobby do you enjoy doing that relaxes your and just let's you kick back and have fun. Would love to hear about it. 

This one below is one of my favorites. 

Can you find the heart in these paintings I posted???

 So if you are ever in the Cape Cod area be sure to look up Artfully Yours Paint Fun. Great time to have a family day and get everyone involved. And come home with a wonderful masterpiece!!

Life is about getting out of your comfort zone and trying new things. So have fun and live life to the fullest. Enjoy the journey and everything it has to offer.!! 

Create your own Masterpiece that we call life!! 

~ UNLEASH your INNER SPARKLE ~

Are you READY to UNLEASH YOUR INNER SPARKLE?? Are you tired of not being where you want to be in your health and fitness goals? Do you need support and accountability? Do you want to create a more simplified lifestyle? 

If you answered YES to any of these questions then this is the next group you want to sign up for. Let's start off 2016 with a fresh new attitude and a renewed mindset. 

It's that time of the year where everyone will be starting to think of or make what new years resolutions they will be partaking on for 2016. How long do you usually last when it comes to making your new resolutions stick? If you're like most they usually don't go long. I can attest to that from previous years when I have made them. Last few years I have been staying on track and really making that commitment to sticking to my health and wellness goals as much as possible. Yes I slide off the track here and there but for the most part I am able to get back on and keep moving forward. REMEMBER... this is not just a 21 day program, this is a lifestyle change. This program is a jump start to creating new healthy habits, that you can continue to use on a day to day basis while on your health and wellness journey. You will be given the tools, tips, support and motivation to creating a wonderful new and improved you.

One pie...Two people.... GONE in ONE DAY!!

Just so you all know I am human and have my weak moments at times. Here is a weak moment....

Ok not going to lie, I put myself into a sugar coma then other day!!! Bought a pumpkin pie with the man and the two of us ate the whole darn thing! YES I said it! Ugh! Who can relate to that? The pie was soooo good. We just couldn't get enough of it. Add whip cream and that's all I needed to attack it.

Two people One pie... GONE in  a day!!!! 

Now this butt needs to get into gear this week big time!!!! So this week my mini challenge is to get all my workouts in for Mon-Fri. Went to the grocery store and got everything I needed for the week in food to keep it as clean as possible. 

What do you do when you have an off day or weekend??  Best course of action is to just say it happened and move forward. You can't go back and change it,  so you can only move forward and make it better from here on out. 

I can attest that I have in the past been sucked into the vortex we call life and spiraled out of control with my nutrition and fitness. I've definitely have days even weeks where I just couldn't pick myself back up and get back on track. I would say to myself. Oh, I'll just start back on Monday. Yeah that's  just really not the best idea for me. So I would take the next day, refocus and get back on track. Thankfully I also have a wonderful support and accountability group that I'm involved in that has helped me bounce back quicker then later. I'm a firm believer that if you hang with people that are on the same wave length with you when it comes to your health and fitness you have a much greater rate on succeeding and hitting your goals. 

If you are struggling with staying on track and just can't seem to get to where you want to get to, then know this, you don't have to do it alone. Find one or two people that might be struggling as well and get together and stay connected. Help keep each other accountable and lift each other up with support and motivation.

If you have no idea where to start or you need to stay accountable then I would love to help you. Let's chat. To connect up with me on Facebook, Click Here and "LIKE " my Pure Balance for Like page. Thanks in advance! And don't be shy you can friend request me as well at Facebook Jane

if you happen to not be a facebook person then you can connect up with me and sign up for a free account with me @ http://bit.ly/purebalanceyg and I will be your FREE coach and we can stay in touch and help support and motivate each other! 

Stay tuned for my Rumchata pumpkin pie recipe coming soon!! Going to give it a shot and see how it comes out. I will be making it for Thanksgiving. Yes I am all about living life and when it comes to my nutrition, why deprive myself of certain things. Life is all about moderation. I've learned to do just that. Yes there might be a day that is really over the moderation part(Like the pie thing, but that is in the past. lol) but heck it's just how life happens sometimes. As long as you don't continue to overdue it everyday like that. 

Have a fabulous day and remember to DREAM BIG!!!

It's not a Quick Fix ~ It's a Lifestyle Change!

So today marks the day after my 21 Day Fix Extreme journey. So for the last 21 days I decided to forgo alcohol and sweet treats.  There were some days that man I really wanted to dive in and give in to those sweet tooth cravings. Especially having kids and them waving it in my face. But I stuck to it knowing that it was only 21 day. So I was determined to make it happen.  I am by far no where near perfect and I have times where my fitness and nutrition go right out the window. It happens and I’m human. Luckily have been blessed with the tools and have a great support and accountability group to help me get back on track when I do fall off. We are there for each out through the good and the bad times. 

I will say over the last year a good 10-15 lbs have creeped back on me. Yes I have clothes in my closet that are way to snug or don’t fit right now. And I refuse to go out and buy new clothes when I have a closet full. This past summer I decided to get really back on track and start focusing on getting back to where I was. Don’t get me wrong not complaining about my size because where I was 10yrs ago was not a healthy place. So even with the extra weight I still feel great. Just want to have the clothes I have now to fit even better. So over the summer the program I was doing I was able to drop 10lbs and 12inches. Totally happy with that. Today I can report that from doing this latest round of 21 Day Fix Extreme I am down another 3.5lbs and 2.5in. So not exactly what I was looking for, but happy nonetheless that things are changing and going in a great direction. 

One thing I keep telling myself that this journey is my lifestyle. That life happens and things always don’t go as planned and it’s OK. As long as you get back on the horse and continue to stay the course. Remember you might not always see immediate changes or feel like nothing is happening but it is. Small consistent steps lead to amazing results.

If you would like to join in with me on my next 21 day challenge journey, let me know. Comment below or message me. It’s not too late to get started. Also there is a great special happening til Oct 31^st. Let me tell you all about it. So who’s going to join me?      Click here to join me! 

This isn't a quick fix, but a lifestyle change. This program will help give you the tools you need to have a healthy relationship with food, and will improve your physical and mental health! Plus make new friends in a judge free, fun, supportive, accountability and motivation group!!
