Embracing Change....

Who likes change? Like REALLY likes change?

I'll wait.....

 I'm not talking about changing what brand dish soap you use or going from one-ply to two-ply (although that's definitely a change I recommend if you're not there yet). I'm talking about big changes. Changes that put us outside of our normal day to day routine. Changes that can challenge our character and sometimes bring out a side of us we didn't know existed.....

I think I might see one or two hands out there.

The fact is that MOST of us don't like change! We like our routine. It's comfortable. It puts us in a position to know what to expect and we like that. Going outside of our normal day to day can be scary. Especially if the change is huge! But what is it about change that makes us anxious or afraid? It's the fact that we are no longer in control! We like controlling what happens in our lives! Because for the most part we can control what happens in our lives. But what happens when the opportunity to make a change comes along and it's an opportunity for a GOOD change? Will we be more inclined to go with it, or will we still run from it in fear of the unknown?

I'll tell you, I don't like change! Big change anyway! I'm cool with changing up the Chinese restaurant that we typically frequent and I'm also cool with trying out a new shade of eye shadow. Those are FUN changes!

How bout moving clear across the world right after you get married? Or moving every few years and having to change jobs and make new friends and find a new church family? SCARY! Sometimes God has a funny way of putting us in positions to build our characters. So He brought a man into my life 10 years ago who was an active duty soldier in the U.S. Air Force. In the last 8 years I've moved from Idaho, to England, back to Idaho for a few months, and now to Florida. I've had 5 different jobs in that 8 years where before that I'd been at the same job for 6 years! I've fallen in love with new friends and I've said goodbye to more friends than I like to think about. Sure, I keep in contact with them virtually, but I can't hug them and laugh with them in person. I've learned how to drive on the left-hand side of the road and learned that the "boot" of a car is actually the "trunk". And now I've learned what true humidity is. I've become a vegetarian. I've gone from gym rat to at-home workout queen. So many changes!!!!! Some of them forced, some of them chosen.

So how do you learn to embrace change when you hate change? You do this by accepting the fact that some change makes you BETTER! Some change is a way for you to grow and to develop into the person you're meant to be. Some change will put you in a position to be a blessing to someone else that you might eventually come into contact with.

Want to start working out but you're scared to do it because you've grown accustomed to your inactive lifestyle and you're afraid of what people will think and how you will make it happen Do it anyway! This is a good change! Want to start eating healthier but don't know where to start? Instead of cowering away from the opportunity, embrace it..... start googling recipes, searching pinterest, talking to people around you who you know eat healthy.....just start doing it! Don't procrastinate the change because you'll forever find an excuse to not do it! Some changes are forced upon us and we can't do anything about that. Some changes are put in our path and we can choose them. Both kinds of changes can be exciting if we look at them in the right light. Think of change as a way to experience a new part of life that you have experienced before! Pray about it! Be patient through the process! Trust that you will get through this moment of discomfort and this CHANGE will one day just become part of your routine! I no longer think about my daily routine I had in Idaho, or in England. I think about my daily routine I have here, in Florida. This change wasn't easy and I didn't want to do it, but it was out of my control. So I embraced it, was patient with it, found things daily that excited me about the change, and now I LOVE Florida. I never want to leave.

Yes, change is scary! But if we never go through seasons of change then we'll never grow! So embrace the change that you're facing right now. Even if you haven't acted on it yet. If it's a good change and it will benefit you, I challenge you to grab it by the horns and make it yours. Own it! Pretty soon that change will become part of your day to day routine and you'll be stronger and more capable of taking on the next challenge of change that will come your way!

New Product Alert: Shakeology Boosts!

SHAKEOLOGY BOOSTS!!

So what are these boosts exactly and why would you need to add then to the already ridiculously healthy formula of Shakeology? I asked myself the same question. I mean, I've taken loads of time studying the ingredients of Shakeology and it doesn't seem like it could get any better. So let me break down each one for you and give you a little more detail

CLICK TO WATCH:

Let Tony Horton explain it to you....

FOCUSED ENERGY:

If you're looking for an effective pick-me-up without compromising your health, then this boost is for you. Unlike traditional energy drinks that rely on chemicals, sugar, and large doses of caffeine to create energy spikes, Focused Energy Boost is packed with ginseng and 100 mg of natural caffeine from Guarana and Green Tea, plus adaptogens like Reishi and Rhodiola. So now you can feel more energized and alive without the artificial ingredients.

DIGESTIVE HEALTH:

Did you know the average American gets less than half the Daily Recommended amount of fiber? Now you can get over half of your daily recommended amount of fiber when you add this boost to Chocolate Shakeology.† Digestive Health Boost supplies your body with a potent blend (7 grams) of both soluble AND insoluble fiber, setting this formula apart from typical fiber supplements that only contain soluble fiber.

POWER GREENS:

Who would need power greens? Power Greens Boost is for those who don't like to eat veggies, or for those days when one simply can't get enough veggies. What if you're traveling or in a situation where you can't just grab a salad like you usually would? This would be the perfect addition to your Shakeology that morning to make sure that you're still getting all of the nutrients from those greens that you won't be able to easily get in. Or if you're a really picky eater or have kids who are really picky eaters but who don't mind the flavor of Shakeology (I mean, who doesn't like chocolate?) this would be perfect!! Plus, this boost helps support the body's acid/alkaline balance. It doesn't matter how much or how little greens you currently eat, your body can always benefit from more.

Some of my favorite features of these boosts: vegan/vegetarian friendly, no  artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives, can be added to any liquid (not just Shakeology), two of these products do not contain caffeine and the focused energy has a small amount of caffeine (100 mg/serving).

So how much are they?

Focused Energy Boost: $49.95
Power Greens Boost: $34.95
Digestive Health Boost: $44.95

21 Day Fix Cookbook is Here

For anyone who has done the 21 Day Fix, it seems that the most common question and confusion comes around how to make a recipe and figure out how to make it work for the containers. There are several recipes available on Pinterest and many Fixers have come up with methods to help the masses cook recipes that are Fix Approved. But there are still many questions and Fixers who are trying to make it all work.

Well, good news has arrived! Autumn has released a new cookbook called Fixate that is specifically for the container system. Over 100 recipes designed to use with her color-coded containers to make cooking while on the 21 Day Fix easy as pie!

Mine is on the way and I am sooo excited! There are vegan, vegetarian, and even gluten-free options available.

Cize....The End of Exercise!

Raise your hand if you hate working out!

Now, I know I'm one of those weird people who actually enjoy working out. I do! I truly love getting  a good workout. Whether it be a run, popping in an Insanity DVD, or lifting some weights; I just love working out. But I KNOW that not everyone is like me. There are MANY people who DREAD working out.

So what is a person to do when they want to lose weight but they can't bear the thought of running on the hamster wheel or following a workout DVD from their living room? Is there any hope for these people?

Let me introduce you to CIZE!!!
