Taking it all in
This was Tyler a few yrs ago. Matt & I are going to have lunch with him at school today. How many more years will he think this is cool?
I’ll take it all in for now!
Congrats, Jaime!
WOW.. THIS.GIRL.IS.ON.FIRE w/her business!!! Not to mention, she is SO kind and thoughtful! I just love how fast she is getting this! Please help me congratulate JAIME Trowbridge for achieving Emerald in her business already!!
Jaime is a new mom, a hairstylist and has been an EXCELLENT role model of fitness and is very quickly and diligently learning about this business so she can help more people and teach her growing team to succeed!
CONGRATS JAIME!!! Diamond is next for you!!
Rise above it
Every now & then I see that Azzy gets up on the chair at the kitchen table & I always know why. It’s to distance herself from her younger brother Tank who is being immature & annoying her.
When all else fails, sometimes you just have to rise above it or just distance yourself a bit to regain your mo-Jo!
Eat what you need
Stopped after T’s basketball game to pick up lunch at our favorite deli and Ohhhhh..how I wanted to just order a big fluffy high-carb bagel loaded with cream cheese & high sodium turkey ..and a side of soup-also very high sodium. But it’s not worth it to me. I work too hard.
If it were a special occasion, I would have indulged! But temptations are ALL around us..& if they’re in your HOUSE, that’s even worse! Get rid of it!
Take a deep breath & buy what you like but is a healthier choice.
This is half of a veggie spinach wrap..no cream cheese or cheese, all-natural Light Blue Cheese dressing for dip in the bowl (barely needed any because it’s a strong taste) & a half serving of Peanut Butter Banana Shakeology for added nutrients & protein.
Work your core
Would you rather work your core or injure your back?
Lack of core strength (which includes your back too) can result in back injuries. Back injuries are awful to deal with!
With a dumbbell or medicine ball, lower down VERY slowly, one vertebrae at a time, letting your lower back touch, then shoulders, keeping the ball or weight overhead. Slowly ROLL yourself back up slowly without any jerking or momentum & the ball or weight still overhead. Keep your knees bent & extended in front of you the whole time. ️
Be sure you’re warmed up!! In case this is too difficult, try it without weight first. This med ball is 14lbs
What will your workout be today
What will your workout be today? Or is it a rest day?
Just some more abwork. With a medicine ball or dumbbell, side step with rotation (this one can be done FAST & is more of a cardio exercise that works the core too ..good for those who can’t JUMP but need to get the heart rate up!), russian twists with feet up, & tucks or pikes!
Congratulations, Joie!

Egg Salad Sandwich
EGG SALAD SANDWICH. Yes please!!
Or ..No thank you??
This is a toasted Ezekiel English muffin. And for the egg salad I used 2 hardboiled eggs mashed up into 2T of nonfat plain Greek yogurt & 1T mustard, diced onion, Himalayan salt & pepper.
About 300 calories & over 20g protein.
Progress
Yay! Finally I’ve got some progress in progress on those back muscles! All because I decided I’d focus on upper body until I can get back to normal workouts.
When one door closes, you better OPEN another one!!
Congrats, Jenny!
FRIENDS and COACHES.. if it weren’t for people like JENNY taking a leap of faith and pursuing their passions.. *I* could not do what I do! So, MANY MANY THANKS in advance for helping me give props to Coaches like JENNY SYDNOR for achieving EMERALD.. in her first month as a Coach Btw!
Jenny is a mom of 2, has been married 18+yrs, and works full-time in Supply Chain Management.
Jenny loved the gym but was finding it taking precious time out of her busy schedule. So she discovered Turbo & ChaLean Extreme and convenience (and effectiveness) of working out from home. She was a HUGE skeptic of Shakeology at first, but is now going thru it like water!
CONGRATS JENNY!!!!
