Dumbbells and Diapers

My name is Bethany. I am a mother. I am a coach. I am a fitness fanatic. All at the same time. I am a coach for Beachbody – that’s right, the makers of P90X, Insanity, and Asylum. I have been told you have to be ‘insane’ to do Insanity and P90X and they may be right. I LOVE IT! I finished P90X a few years ago, I have done two full rounds of Insanity and a round of Asylum. I just finished an Asylum+P90X hybrid and just started an Insanity+Asylum hybrid. I love to mentor, coach, be a teammate, cheerleader, or the hand behind you pushing you towards your goals. I had my daughter in September of 2011 and was back to working out a month after having her. (I could not wait the 6 weeks!) I understand working (for GARMIN – what could be better – I’m surrounded by fitness electronics and I run in marathons for free), being a full time mother, exercising every day, and eating clean to stay healthy for both myself and my family. I love to read about new fitness techniques and about eating clean. I am a firm believer in changing your eating habits for life into something you love rather than swinging from diet to diet and falling backwards. The feeling I get while working out and sweating like crazy is fantastic. I also plan to share my favorite recipes with you on here! I strive to eat healthy, work out every day, and be there for anyone that wants help or encouragement. I am excited to share my fitness, my goals, my day-to-day parenting experience (advice, wrong choices, things that work and do not work) and my recipes! I am also excited to share the Beachbody programs and products with you. They did not ‘help me get my life back’, they gave me the life I wanted and it will help you too.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  Vegan Tropical Strawberry Shakeology was released yesterday (a day early – those sneaky people) and I am super super excited to get mine in the mail in the next few days.  I will be sure to let you know my thoughts on its taste!  If you want to improve your overall health, be sure to order your own!

I wanted to share this Doctor’s video.  It’s fantastic and you should spend some time watching it.  I am not one to mess around and say something like, ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ so I was on the Beachbody train a long time ago and am thankful.  However, if you still need your ticket on the train watch the video.  Also – don’t forget – swimming suit season is coming up!

I dressed my daughter up in her ‘My First Valentine’s Day outfit’ and took pictures.  I posted below so you can smile at her adorableness.  She slept through my Insanity Max Recovery workout AND my shower.  Success.  My body was probably thankful however, it’s hard for me not to do extreme cardio and burn hundreds of calories.  I will get over it.

I hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day and is ready for the Tropical Strawberry!!
