It's About TIME!!!

I am STOKED about Focus T25!  Seriously!  This program is a game changer!  I created MomTime Café because life is always a juggling act and what mom isn’t on the quest for more time?? THE biggest hurdle is NOT working out. What I hear from busy moms is “I don’t have TIME to work out”.  And, I’m with you!  I used to say the same thing!!!  Plus, we tell ourselves lies like "now that I'm a mom my body will never look good again".  But, now there is a program designed JUST for you and one that will get you the results you’ve been longing for!


So, it’s time to answer all the questions I’ve been getting about this new program and what can it do for you. 

Here's the lowdown.
 
What is Focus T25?
 

T25 is the newest in-home fitness program designed to deliver an hour’s worth of results in just 25 minutes!  The program includes 9 different workout DVDs. Each workout is 25 minutes long and you work out just five days a week!   Can I get an "amen?"  The program is 10 weeks long. 

What are the workouts like?
The workouts are fast-paced routines that are jammed pack with dynamic, high-intensity moves designed for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Do I need special equipment?
No.

Who is this program designed for?
Busy people who want to work out in less time, but still get GREAT results.

I'm a newbie. Can a beginner do this program?
Yes!  Each 25-minute workout includes a person doing a modified version of the exercises.  This “modifier” takes out the “high intensity” from the exercises.  So, for example, if you have knee trouble, you can watch that person do the modified move which keeps the exercise low impact.  This is designed to keep you safe and gives a beginner a good place to start.

I am a seasoned workout pro. Will this program challenge me?
Absolutely!  Any time you mix up your fitness routine, you are confusing your muscles and creating new change for your body.  

Only 25 minutes?  I’m used to longer workouts.  Can I get a good calorie burn with these workouts?
Yes!  If you are a woman, you can expect to burn on average 300 calories or more per workout depending on your level of intensity. 

This program sounds cool, but how can I trust I can get results?
Great question!  This program was designed by Shaun T, creator of Insanity and Hip Hop Abs. All the workouts are designed to give users the best possible results.  Shaun T’s personal training and coaching take the guesswork out.  He tells you EXACTLY what to do and when to do it.  Plus, you get me as your personal coach supporting your journey!  Did you happen to see my fellow coach's results? 
 
So I know working out alone doesn't get someone killer results, so what do I eat on this program?
Glad you asked!  How about a dense daily dose of superfood nutrition?  Yes!  Shakeology is the vital component to your results. Replace one meal a day with Shakeology and curb cravings, increase your energy and give your body the fuel it needs!  The program also comes with a no-nonsense nutrition guide with ideas for the busy person in mind!  Shakeology flavors come in Chocolate, Tropical Strawberry, Greenberry and just out, Vanilla which I’m calling Vanill-Amazing!



T25…Where have you been all my life?  I like what I’m hearing. What now?

Just Give Me 10 Days



Need a jump start with your health and fitness?  Or maybe just a place to start?



I have a few questions for you:


  1. Do you have a hard time sticking to working out or a healthy diet for longer than a week or two? 
  2.  Do you struggle to figure out what are healthy foods to eat?
  3. Have you been at a weight loss plateau and not sure what to do differently?
  4. Do you have a job that requires you to sit all day?
  5. Are you so scared to make a change with your health that it has paralyzed you and you cannot make a decision on your next step?
  6. Are you a busy mom who struggles to find time to be healthy?


If you answered “YES” to any of the questions above, I feel you!  I have been there.  We are not too different, you and I!  I encourage you to keep reading.   

The 10 Day Challenge might be for you!


So, I get lots of questions on my challenge groups and since the 10 Day challenge is by far my favorite kind of challenge, I want to take a second to explain it a bit.

What is a 10 Day Challenge?
The 10 Day Challenge is 80% centered around nutrition awareness.  Since 80% of weight loss and fitness results come from what you eat, the challenge focuses on eating from a healthy and delicious meal plan.  We talk about meal planning, clean eating and what that means, how to navigate through the grocery store, what are good vs. bad things to eat, tracking calories and how often you should eat. Think Healthy Eating 101 – beginner basics.    

Where can I do this Challenge?
The 10 Day Challenge group all happens through a private “group” in Facebook.  You can participate in the challenge anywhere in the U.S.

Who might benefit from a 10 Day Challenge?
Anyone can join.  I am a busy, working mom of two, so I typically coach other moms who are trying to balance a busy life and desire to make some positive changes in their health and fitness. 

How much is it to participate?
$60.00.  Your kit includes a 10 day supply of Shakeology, an easy and delicious meal plan created by my team of coaches, personal coaching from me and a private facebook group with built-in support and accountability.

This sounds interesting, when does the next group start?
I run 10 Day Challenges quite often.  Just fill out the form to let me know of your interest and I’ll be sure to follow up with you to make sure this is the right fit for you.

Bottom line, you are always going to be busy and never have enough time in the day.  The first step to a new you is to simply DECIDE that today is going to be different than all the days in the past.  That you’re no longer going to wait around for a sign to do something for you.  Consider this post your “sign”.  I believe beyond the words that I type that YOU ARE WORTH IT!  You have all the resources inside of you to achieve your dreams. I would love to help, if you let me.

Rainy Saturdays and Happy Summers

A random visit to the library on a rainy Saturday sparked this post.

I enrolled my daughter into the summer reading program at the local library. My 8-year-old daughter HATES to read.  It’s like pulling teeth during the school year. Twenty minutes isn’t all that long, but for her, it’s an eternity. 

Teachers encourage summer reading over the summer which I wholeheartedly agree with. But to be honest, six weeks of summer had passed and I was at a loss at what to do with her.

I can relate. I never REALLY liked to read as a kid.  I loved the Boxcar Children, the Babysitter Club series and maybe a few other random books, but I didn’t have a desire to read and it felt more like a chore than a pleasurable activity. 

So we BOTH enrolled into the summer reading program.  Can I just tell you it’s like watching a miracle happen in my house?  My daughter is motivated to read.  She took the time to find a few books that she might be interested in reading and completed her first chapter book in 2 hours.  Who is this kid?  
 
Who knew that a little challenge could be such an awesome motivator?  I’m a fitness coach who runs successful challenges. Why didn’t I ever think that a challenge like this would have the same effect?  Magic!

What about you?  Do you like to read?  I have to admit, I really enjoy reading as an adult!  It’s very relaxing and the excitement of being in a good book is FUN!  I’m on Goodreads and follow recommendations of good books from friends who are more avid readers. Truthfully, I don’t make time to read fiction books much anymore.

However, I do make time for personal development.  10 minutes everyday!  What is personal development?  Well, most of you might think of personal development as the “self help” or even the “business” section of the bookstore.  Personal development books focus on improving ones self.  Making us better. 

Do you have areas in your life that you’re struggling to work through?  Maybe it's effectively communicating in a relationship, finding your life’s purpose, discovering more time and life balance, dealing with a difficult person, or acknowledging your strengths so that you can be an effective leader at the office?  The possibilities are endless and all it takes is jotting down a few areas of struggle on a piece of paper and then searching for a place that can speak into them. For some of us the struggle might be so intense that you already know where you want to start and where to go. Others might still be on the fence or even unsure of why you might want to focus on yourself like this.

Why do this?  Why is personal development so important?  It's an investment. It's an investment in yourself , an investment in something new. Personal development can be a way to discover a different way, a new perspective or option. Too often we repeat the same cycle over and over again. And you know the definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Personal development is a place to stop the insanity and give you a new perspective and sometimes a solution. 

Personal Development can be for you!  Go to Amazon, type in a key area you need some help with and find the most popular books to start. Read the reviews, flip through the sneak peeks.  Then just do it! Commit to yourself. Begin the investment. 

You can borrow from your local library, get the audio version or try a subscription audio program like Audible.

I highly recommend audio books! On my way to the office, meetings, or my way home, I’m always listening to something.  Right now, I am listening to “Just Listen” by Mark Goulston.  I am learning how I can be a better listener and help others feel heard. I LOVE IT!

 For me audio books seem manageable. You can always find a few moments to listen.  You can listen while taking a walk, grocery shopping or doing chores after the kids go to bed.  You have the time to make it happen!  Make it your August challenge to commit to 10 minutes a day and be ready to see yourself grow!

If you’re looking for a place to start these are great books:

Happy summer reading and take a moment to tell me what you're reading!
