A Day As A Health And Fitness Coach

We all have different goals, different passions in life and don't we all truly want to be doing those things we love?! I can say, for me, I am doing it right now. 
I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and 4 beautiful boys. This bring me joy and I always wanted to stay at home with my kids and be a mom and wife. I also have had quite a health journey with digestive problems and have developed a passion for healthy eating, which is ultimately what healed me from my sickness.
Fitness is something I've always loved! I have been an active person through my life and it has never stopped. I worked out with my pregnancies as well and am fitter now than before my boys.
About 6 months ago I was given the opportunity to become a Beachbody health and fitness coach and work from home to help others with what I have learned and stay home with my kids. I jumped at the chance!! I wanted to see people live a healthy life and feel their best the way that I had. I also wanted to show other moms they could do what I do, from their homes, with their family.
A typical morning for me would be:
  • waking up and working out
  • getting my kids off to school
  • playing with my 2 year old
  • checking in with my customers and fitness groups
  • checking emails/responding to messages
  • a blog post or making a video
  • reading personal development  

Then I'm off to enjoy the rest of my day with playing, errands, school pickups etc. I couldn't ask for anything more! It makes me happy and I can't even believe it's a job. It never feels like work to me. Helping and serving others is a blessing :)

Have you thought about doing something new? Are you doing what makes you happy and are you achieving your goals? I want to invite you to see about what being a coach can do for you! I also want to invite you to think about your health and fitness, is there an area you'd like to work on but didn't know where to start? I can help you with both of these things. I have included two applications at the bottom of this, one for becoming a health coach yourself and one to be part of a fun health support group. I am part of the #1 team in all of Beachbody and I want to share all of that with you!!

Salmon Burgers

Now that the Spring weather is here and we have some nicer days, alot of you may think of burgers. This healthy recipe gives you just that plus a dose of Omega-3s to help with your healthy eating lifestyle!!

Ingredients:
1 pound wild salmon fillet, skinned
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion or scallion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or canola oil

Directions:
1. Chop salmon using quick, even, straight-up-and-down motions
until you have roughly 1/4-inch pieces.

2. Transfer to large bowl and gently stir in onion/scallion, cilantro,
ginger, salt and pepper, being careful not to over-mix.

3. Divide the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Chill in the
refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours) before
cooking.
 
4. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the
burgers and cook until browned on both sides and just cooked
through, 4 to 6 minutes total.

Enjoy!
