How The Space Cadet Mom Functions

If you know me, then you know that I can be a total space cadet.  I have every intention of doing everything I say I'm going to do...I just get distracted and forget.  After having my second child, it seemed like I had 24/7 baby brain.  It was worse than it had ever been!  I forgot to pay bills (something I NEVER do!) and I was double booking appts.  I just couldn't seem to remember anything!  It was embarrassing and made me feel really stupid.

The last couple of months I have been working on a system to keep me on track.  I have had to find what works best for me and my family.  It's taken some trial and error, but I finally found a system that works for me.  I don't know that it will work for you, but I wanted to share my system anyways.

First things first.  A clean house helps keep a clear mind.  Having a three year old tornado and a 10 month old makes it very difficult to keep things clean.  There are always toys everywhere! I'm not a mom who tells her child she can only have one toy at a time, and I won't kid myself into believing that I will ever be that way.  I do not have a designated play room in my house, so the toys are spread out all over our family room.  Honestly, I used to be so embarrassed by this, but I think you have to learn how to not care what other people think.  I've tried to organize the toys by having a variety of containers for certain toys, but the organization takes forever and it just doesn't work for me!  If that works for you, then that is amazing.  Keep it up.  I am using several containers for toys, but I'm not so knit picky about what goes in what container.  Instead, I have a large toy box for larger toys and a few small containers for smaller toys.  It's easy to just throw the toys in each container.  I try to keep girly stuff in one and animals in another ( you get the picture ), but if they get mixed up then, who cares.  The stuff is off the floor and that is what matters. 

I have devised a DAILY cleaning schedule for myself that actually really works.  Unless you are Supermom, you just can't do everything in one day.  It's easy if you get yourself in a habit of doing certain things on certain days, and it really keeps your house pretty clean.  There are things that you need to do daily, like clean the kitchen counters and pick up toys, but other things you can schedule into your week.  For example, Mondays are floor days for me.  Generally I do have to sweep up my house daily due to the kids dropping crumbs everywhere, but on Mondays I really concentrate on it and I mop EVERY floor that is not carpet.  I have posted my schedule below. 

Like a lot of things, you can have every intention of keeping up with a cleaning schedule, but you just fall off schedule because you forget or you're tired.  I have downloaded To Do Tasks on my Android, and it has made my life so much more orderly!  I put EVERYTHING in there.  I schedule out my days and a little alarm goes off every time I have something I need to be doing.  I have an alarm for Laundry that goes off every day at 7:25AM.  That way I remember to put the laundry in the wash daily, so that I don't end up with piles to do at the end of the week.  If I have an appt. I put it in there.  If I have a bill to pay, I put it in there. I have my whole day planned and put in my To Do app.  I have an example of my day below.  By doing this, I am able to have designated time for work, cleaning, and play time with my kids.  It makes my day go so much smoother! 

Another thing I've done is make a board where I have dinners for the week listed, a calendar, and a place for bills.  For bills, I take sticky notes and write the bill on it and when it's due.  I stick it on the board and when I pay it, I just take it off the board.  Having a visual really helps me see what I need to do.  I love it!  I have a few other little things that I've learned to do and will be sharing them in my FREE 7 day group about keeping your life in order (or more so than it was! haha).  If you are a naturally organized Supermom, then this probably isn't helpful for you.  I happen to be super spacey and distract able so I have to really focus to keep things in order.  If you are like me, then I hope this helps! If you want to join my 7 day group just friend me and ask to join! I'm hoping it can be a great place for moms to post good advice as well. Facebook Group

Want to lose 15lbs in 21 days?

I have ranted and raved about this program before, and I'm going to do it again.  I can not say enough good things about this program!  21 Day Fix has helped people transform their bodies over and over again.  It keeps things simple, and healthy!  Let me explain how this program works.

First, there are seven thirty minute workouts, a 10 minute ab fix, and when you get it through me you will also get another 30 minute workout.  So that is a total of NINE workouts in this program.

Second, you will receive several different colored containers.  Each container is a different size and color.  You will receive a food program booklet which explains what foods you can put in each container.  Depending on how many calories you are allowed, you will be given a number for how many containers you can have each day.  By doing this, your eating is made simple.  You don't have to count calories...Yay! I can't tell you how much I hate counting calories!  It's beyond annoying.

So you will have your eating plan and a workout schedule for 21 days.  You can seriously lose up to 15lbs doing this program in just 3 weeks!  I've watched people do this and have great success.  If you need help sticking to the program....well that's what I'm here for!  In all honesty, I have done so many programs and this one is my top choice.  I love that the workouts are short and effective.  It's doable for ANYONE.  There is a great modifier for beginners, so don't worry if you're really out of shape :)

I HIGHLY recommend this program!  And let's be honest here, who doesn't like a sale???

The challenge pack is normally $160 (Shakeology and 21 Day Fix), but it's $140 this month only!

21 Day Fix

September Challenge!

Every month I try to run a challenge group so that everyone has a chance to join when it is convenient to them.  September 2nd will be the kickoff for my next group.  For those of you who do not know what a challenge group is, let me explain.

A challenge group is a group of people who have COMMITTED to starting a workout program of their choice and following a clean eating diet.  The group keeps in touch by joining a closed Facebook group that I create.  Challengers are required to check in every single day!  This keeps you accountable for your workouts and eating!  I  (and my team) provide support and motivation for you, so that you don't give up!  Everyone starts together, and we all finish together.  I do everything I can so that you don't quit!  Everyone can share recipes and meal plans as well.

Do you have to pay for me to "coach" you?
Nope!  My coaching is FREE.  You are responsible for getting your program of choice (challenge pack) through me.  After you get your Beachbody program, I will add you into my group.

What do I need for a challenge group?
You will need to get what is called a CHALLENGE PACK.  This is a workout program AND Shakeology.  You choose the program and pick what flavor of Shakeology you would like.

What is Shakeology?
Shakeology is an ALL NATURAL nutrient dense meal replacement shake.  It is whole foods, dried and ground for easy digestion.  There are over 70 ingredients which each have amazing benefits for your body. You get natural proteins, Antioxidant superfoods, Adaptogens, Pre and Pro-biotics and Phytonutrient Super-Greens.  With ingredients like spinach, quinoa, Pea protein, Camu-Camu, Yacon root, Pea fiber, and Kamut grass, you will feel more energetic and healthy than before.

30 Day Clean Eating Challenge

I haven't had a blog post in a while and I don't have a good excuse as to why.  I may be into fitness and healthy, but like everybody else, I'm human.  I lost my focus and fell off track.  I was doing my workouts here and there, but not consistently.  I don't even want to talk about how bad my eating has been!  It's like I'm pregnant again...but I'm not...seriously, I'm not.

I've had this knot in my stomach for a while now.  Guilt has been building in me, but it's not from how bad I've been eating.  It's from how I've slacked in feeding my own child healthy foods.  Here I am, a Beachbody coach AND a very involved mother who loves her girls!  I have no excuse for choosing unhealthy foods to feed my 3 year old.  Absolutely no excuse.  I buy the food and I have the power to choose what she eats.

I am guilty of feeding my daughter Mac N Cheese serveral times a week.  This is not ok!  A bigger problem that I've had is people around us who feed my child (my other baby is 9 months old so I don't have to worry too much about her yet) unhealthy foods.  NO CHILD NEEDS COOKIES AND CAKE EVERY SINGLE DAY.  Let me repeat that.  NO CHILD NEEDS COOKIES AND CAKE EVERY SINGLE DAY.

 August is a new month.  I am committing to being a good example for my children.  I WILL make healthy clean choices 100% of the time for me and my children.  I WILL NOT let others feed my children unhealthy foods every day.  I WILL NOT care what others think of my choice to eat clean.  I won't let others make me feel bad for feeding my children healthy foods.  If I have to sound mean to get people to know how serious I am about this, I will.  You have been warned!  We hear about child obesity all the time, but what are we doing to stop it?  I won't allow my children to become victims of this. 

I am going to be a good example.  By doing this, I will be a better, healthier me.  We all win!  I challenge all of you to do the same.  I think my biggest challenge of all is getting my husband on board.  I love him and wish he would see the value in eating healthy.  Wish me luck on that one!

On a side note, I'm starting to read the Grain Brain.  I've had a hard time thinking straight lately and I'm hoping that starting this will clear my head!  It follows clean eating, but has more guidelines.  I'll blog about that one another time.  Right now I just want to focus on clean eating!

Challenge Groups and Cost

About 7 months ago, my husband and I were throwing around the idea of getting into better shape.  I still had weight to lose from having my daughter, and he was just wanting something new to do.  We came across an ad for P90X3 and thought, "This looks like it might work".  We knew we couldn't devote an hour a day for a workout, so we loved the fact that each workout was exactly 30 minutes.  We saw pictures of transformations and I know we both took a minute to fantasize looking like one of them.  Who doesn't want to look and feel great?

So after a couple weeks of pondering over whether or not we should try it, we decided that we needed the lifestyle change and if we wanted it bad enough, we could find a way to buy it.  Cost is an issue most people bring up.  I've learned that if there is a will, there is a way.  You have to WANT to change.  You have to be COMMITTED.

If someone told you that they had a way for you to lose weight, look toned, feel amazing and look great, how much money would you pay?  Really think about it.  How many times have you spent money on something that didn't give you the results you wanted?  How much have you spent over the years on "Diet Pills" and "Nutrition Bars" that claim to be healthy for you?  How many of you have bought a treadmill or some exercise equipment that you never use?  Maybe you have a treadmill that you get on 30 minutes a day, but you aren't seeing those results that you really want.  Now, how much did you spend on that exercise equipment?

Kurt and I made that decision to change the healthy way...the only real way to be healthy and fit (hard work and nutrition).  We bought P90X3 and Shakeology.  I'll be honest, when we bought Shakeology, I had no idea how much it would help me.  I didn't understand that it was not just some protein shake.  The nutrition in it is crazy!  The benefits of drinking it are undeniable....I could write all day about how much I love it and why, but I'll leave it for another day.

After purchasing what I now know to be called a challenge pack (Shakeology and a workout program), my coach asked me if I would be interested in joining a challenge group.  At the time, I really had no idea what a challenge group even was.  I just said sure and had no idea what to expect.  So she added me to a closed Facebook group with other people doing the same program.  The first week our group leader asked us to sign a paper that said that we were committed to the program and that we were to check in every single day to the group.  I thought, "What the hell did I just get myself into?"  I almost backed out...almost.  I ended up signing and telling myself, "I guess I'm in this for real!"  Through the challenge group, I was held ACCOUNTABLE for drinking my Shakeology and doing the workouts.  At this time I still didn't understand the benefits of Shakeology so I was kind of confused as to why it mattered whether or not I drank it.  You have no idea how grateful I am now that my group leader pushed me to drink it everyday.
I was also pushed to talk about my workout and how I did each day.  I know for a fact that I would not have kept up with the program had I not been in this group.  I had so many days that I just didn't feel like doing anything.  The sole reason I worked out some days was because when I checked in the group I didn't want to have to tell anyone that I didn't stick to the program.  I didn't want to feel like a failure. There were other people in there giving it their all and keeping up with it, so I wanted to do it too.  I'll be forever thankful that I was placed in that group.  The changes in me were amazing.  Not only physically, but mentally.  When I was down, there was always someone to pick me back up and help me.  When I needed motivation and support, I had a whole group right there every step of the way. 

When the challenge group ended, I was honestly shocked at my results.  I had actually met my goal weight and I looked better than I thought I would.  I was on a high that I'd never been on before.  I had worked for my results and I couldn't have been more proud.  I owe this feeling to my challenge group.  It changed me more than I could have ever imagined.

My particular program with Shakeology was one of the more expensive programs.  Don't let price scare you.  You will spend more money on countless wasteful things that are "cheaper" and not effective.  With the money I spent, I lost ALL my baby weight! I gained self-respect, self-confidence, self-esteem and I got back to being ME.  A BETTER me!!!  So would I pay it again?  ABSOLUTELY! 

You are investing in yourself!  You are worth it.  In my challenge groups, I will show you why your investment was worth it and help you reach your goals.  Support is such a valuable asset to your success.  Join a challenge group and get those results that you've been wanting.  Do it the healthy way!  Learn how to eat clean and how to plan your meals.  Learn how to incorporate health into your life! You won't regret it! If you really want a change, you'll make it happen!

With that said, my next challenge group starts August 4th. Fill out this form below if you're interested in joining!
