What Am I Up To?

I realize it's been a long time but life happened.  So busy and just plain nuts is the only way I know how to describe it!  I FINALLY DID IT!!!!  I had posted on here so many times of how much I wanted to be a Beachbody Coach.  I finally took the leap.  It was very funny to see how many people thought I was already a Coach!!!  I'm loving it!!!  Paying it forward and helping other's!  I do have ambitious goals with being a Coach but that is another post for another day!

Now that I took that leap I am running Challenge Groups or Accountability Groups.  Totally blessed by doing such!  At the same time I have to keep myself going.  That is the fun part.  I get the "Coach Discount" on the programs that I buy AND hear about all of the new ones coming out.  NICE BENEFIT!!!!
Currently I am revisiting an old program.  One of the originals from Beachbody and the infamous Tony Horton!  P90X!!!  I remember the first time I put in a DVD and thought....:THERE IS NO WAY!!!  I put it in again 3 years ago and with a lot of determination I made it!!  I was so proud of myself but at the same time, I knew I needed to push a harder.  1 pound and 3 pound weights were NOT ENOUGH!!!  I'm excited to say, this time around, I'm using 10 pound weights for most exercises and really want some 12 and 15 pound weights.  NEVER thought I would say that!!

Lastly, I am diving into a new thought about how to eat.  It's always been a challenge for me and my diet.  I created a system in me that can not eat red meat.  I went vegetarian for about 2 years and have NEVER been able to add it back. I have tried and I let's just say......I won't do that again!!!  So when a friend said she was going to do a Whole 30 Challenge, my immediate response was YES!!!!!  I am always up for a good challenge.  I had the book already so that was not a problem.  I sat down and read through the first part again this weekend.  WHEW!!!  It's gonna be a challenge but I can't WAIT!!!!!  Bring It!!!!  (as Tony would say).

There you have it!!!!  I hope you will join me and follow along.  Put in your email on the side bar and you will get an email when I post a new entry!!!!!


Blessings,
Coach Pam

What's On Your Calendar?

This will be in September 2015.  Doing the 1/2 Marathon! I have done it before!! It will be a BLAST!!!!!  I actually went through my calendar and started plotting out my mileage starting in January!  Lots of work and Lots of Fun!!!  

This one is early in the year.  March 2015.  I'm just doing the 5-K but it will be AWESOME!!!!

Of course this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so there will be some type of walk or run for Breast Cancer Awareness this month.  Getting out and being active is so important!  Walk, Run, Bike, Swim....JUST MOVE!!!!!!

Gallon of Water Challenge!

So, one of the Facebook Groups (Here) that I follow is just wonderful and Ashley has made a challenge.  If you know me, I am all about a challenge.  Challenge of 4 days of 1 Gallon of water per day.  Doesn't sound that hard.  I drink a lot of water!???  Right????  Well we will see since I have now jumped in on this one!  I'm really excited about it.

Let's break it down......
1 Gallon = 16 cups = 6.4 bottles of water (20oz) = 4 Sports Bottles (32oz)
When you break it down that way, it seems do-able!!!!!!!

How much water do you drink in a day?  Have you really thought about it?  Today has really made me stop and think about my water intake.

Happy Water Drinking!!!!!

LUNCH!!!!!!

So I went and ran this morning right after I dropped Kaleb off at school.  Came home and had breakfast and got so many things accomplished.  It felt so good!!!!!  My parents just came home from San Francisco.  They brought me a loaf of Cracked Wheat Sourdough bread!  I am in LOVE!!!!!  So here is what I had for lunch.  Super filling and wonderful!!!!!

Hot Chicken Salad

One slice of bread
1 small poached chicken breast (any left over chicken will work or even tuna)
Pickle relish as you like
4 diced peperoncini's diced
1 tbs. of mayo of choice.
1 thin slice of cheese (I used cheddar)

Combine chicken, relish, peperoncini's, and mayo together.  Spoon over bread and slice cheese into skinny rectangles and lay across chicken mixture.  Place under the broiler until cheese is hot and melting.
DEVOUR!!!!!!

You can use less mayo depending how much you need just to hold the mixture together.

Let me know what you think!!!!!!

ENJOY!!!!

RUNNING!

Well, running has been added into the mix.  I'm totally excited about running again.  I ran a 5K the other weekend with the humidity being so bad I was sweating buckets before the race even started!

Do you run?
What distance?
How many days a week?
5K?, Half Marathon? Full Marathon?
Run outside, road, trail, treadmill?

I have set a goal!!!!!  Rock N Roll Half Marathon Virginia Beach 2015.  I really want to just "kill it" so to speak.  I know I will be another year older but I refuse to let that stop me from trying!!!!

To start really getting ready, I am hoping to be running a 5K attached to a Rock N Roll Half Marathon in DC in March!  I have a goal in my head but not ready to share that one yet!!!! HAHAHAH!!!!!

Just curious how many runners are out there??????
Chime in and let me hear from you!!!!!!


Running For Him,

Time To Get Back To It!

WHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU BEEN????  That maybe what you are asking!!!  I'm here but LIFE has happened!  BUSY! BUSY! BUSY!  I had about 2 months without a Challenge Group and thought I would go back in a hole!  I was absolutely NO GOOD without one!  If you have never had a Challenge Group.....GET ONE!!!!!

Currently in a 60 day Group and loving every minute of it.  At the same time, I have rediscovered my love for running!!!!!!  Thanks to Hubby who signed me up for a 5 K when I had not run for a race in over a year, the week before the race!  It was so humid that day!!!!  I was pouring sweat before I ever even started!  I finished!  I am now ready for MORE!!!!  

Challenge Group at present, I am doing Les Mills COMBAT with some P90X included!  It is so much fun!  There is no boardem here!  I LOVE IT!!!!  The weather if finally calming down a bit so I am hitting the road about 3 days a week and that is just going to be great!  

You can find me on Instagram and Facebook!!!!! (See the sidebar!) Would love for you to come and Follow me there as well!!!!!!  

Now that school is back in session, this blog will be BUSY!!!!!  I want to encourage you and motivate you!!!!  Are you ready????  BRING IT!!!!!!
