What are you PAID for?

I'm going to go there.

What are you paid for?

Hopefully you're paid for your expertise & education, working in the field you intended to use it in, right?

Or maybe you're paid for a job because you were considered capable of filling a position, but it's not necessarily your field of interest or 'expertise.'

That's normal. Makes sense. If you're going *mental hand up* than you're the majority.. 

But what if you were paid for being unapologetically you - for the various things that make you YOU?

For employing your natural strengths. AND for utilizing the knowledge you've worked hard to acquire. For the time you spent pursuing certain interests a couple of years ago. Or for some talents you have but rarely use.

Maybe you've studied nutrition, but didn't do anything with it.

Maybe you're a strong, natural leader but your job doesn't allow you to fill a leadership role.

Maybe you are an excellent encourager.. But seriously, what does that have to do with anything?

Possibly you blog but it's never been more than a hobby.

Or by chance you dabble in photography... Or another creative outlet, but don't know how to turn it into a successful venture.

Once upon a time you instructed spin classes - or you always wanted to, but what's the point when you're in graphic design or zoology?

Maybe you have the gift of influence, but don't know how you want to make a difference in a way that you can be proud of yet.

What if all those things you could use in some way - and you got paid for it?

For harnessing those gifts, traits & skills and using them in your own business?

Yep - getting paid to be uniquely, diversely you.

I do.

And so can you.

I had no clue that I ::

Am slightly creative.

Or enjoyed writing.

Or craved leadership.

And truly enjoy encouraging.

And wanted to push myself in daily personal growth.

That I could sense a faith filled purpose in encouraging fitness, nutrition & wellness.

Would discover & pursue my interests in business.

Pull out some of those years of studying psychology while I help people in a NEW way.

That those years of even being a captain on my sport teams would teach me a thing or two about how to coach someone through a program.

That being an independent military wife would somehow equip me to venture into starting a business solo.

You're picking up what I'm putting down, right?

I'm uncovering things about myself I didn't know, dusting off old traits & developing new talents... And they're making me a better woman. But they're also benefitting my business.

I underestimated that was possible with coaching initially. But that's a beauty of entrepreneurship.

So - what could you be paid for? What could you be using, but aren't?

Be you. Thrive. Make a difference.

Pay it forward.

#GracefullyBalanced #ThatEntrepreneurLife #BecauseCoaching

Love Yourself: February Challenge

boy is it not about being perfect, y'all.. if it was, I would be a failure.

wellness is about giving yourself grace- embracing your flaws and shortcoming, but seeking balance each day & doing your personal BEST.

one of my deepest desires as a coach is for women to find balance by making their wellness (mind + body + spirit) a priority.

-it's not selfish to take 30 minutes a day to exercise..

-well rounded nutrition isn't for people with excess money/time on their hands..

-and it's certainly not vanity to pursue a healthier you.

Getting back to the BASICS of fitness and nutrition each day, believe it or not, CAN make you a better wife.. girlfriend.. mother.. daughter ..sister ..friend ..student ..employee.. the list goes on.

I don't create groups each month for perfectionist. I don't provide you with a magical overnight solution. I AM providing you with tools and an environment for you to learn to LOVE yourself, >better< care for those around you and to create a sustainable lifestyle that honors the One who gave you life in the first place.

the focus of my february accountability group is this..

progress not perfection.

LOVE yourself by caring for your temple.

Give yourself GRACE & find BALANCE.

To learn more about how you can join this challenge, email me at: lindseykollar@yahoo.com OR apply HERE by SATURDAY 1/30!

‪#‎LOVEyourself‬ ‪#‎gracefullybalance‬ ‪#‎becauseYOUareworthit‬

Love YOURSELF, February Challenge

We've all heard it before that you can't love the people around you the way they should be loved, if you don't first love yourself.. this means accepting your flaws and caring for yourself spiritually, mentally & physically.

Are you doing this? Are you giving yourself GRACE? Are you maintaining balance in your life? Are you being the best wife, mom, teacher, student, friend, employee you can be because you've made >yourself< a priority?

In February, I want to help *10 women* love themselves again.. to love & appreciate the body+life God's given them through discipline, balance, commitment & positivity.

This journey isn't free, it's GOING to require an investment.. both of your time and resources. But I can tell you this, if you commit & truly give it your all, you WILL experience results and be a better woman at the end of our time together.

Ask yourself this.. are you worth it?

Yes.You.Are.

So how does this work?

The 10 women who choose to join me in February will be part of a PRIVATE, online group of women only. These women come from ALL different backgrounds, different states (even countries) and no two look alike! We are unique individuals finding common ground through the pursuit of wellness.

What's your commitment?

-Give me just 30 minutes of your day to complete workouts from the comfort, privacy and convenience of your own home.

-Learn how to fuel your body with a simple meal plan that DOESN'T leave you starving and doesn't require you to count calories.

-Be willing to be vulnerable and transparent with an incredible group of women who need you as much as you need us.

-Commit to drinking a nutrient dense shake once a day that is going to fill your nutritional deficiencies.. oh and tastes like a milkshake

This challenge starts on February 8th and these first come first serve spots are *limited.* If you've been waiting for an opportunity and looking for a sign.. this is it, girlfriend.

I'm not look for ladies who are half in.. not sure about change. I'm looking to dive IN with women who are READY to embrace change and LOVE themselves to better serve the ones they care for.

I've helped many women reach their goals and be PROUD of themselves again.. I'd LOVE to help you do the same. If you're interested, drop your email below for additional information OR send me an email directly to lindseykollar@yahoo.com .

And how about this? Do all of those amazing women in your life a favor and share this blog post with them.

Time to LOVE YOURSELF, ladies.

22 Minute Hard Corps Prep Weekend: BEFORE PHOTOS

Today was the DAY for my 22 Minute Hard Corps BEFORE photos!!!

Normally, before photos can be a drag. In them we see all of the bad choices made & the many workouts skipped.

Today, was different though.. my before photos had me EXCITED! Because I KNOW that in a couple of months, I'm going to be able to look at them to see how FAR I've come.

Next up:: Intro Video

Tomorrow:: FOOD PREP

Monday:: #GETSOME

💪🏽🇺🇸📢😬

Wish me luck!!!!!

#22MinuteHardCorps #TonyHorton #TestGroup

Big Announcement: Hard Corps Test Group SELECTION

So I've been keeping a BIG secret lately and have been waiting for the OK to make this announcement!

Well.. It's OFFICIALLY time to share!

I'm over the MOON excited to announce that I was selected, out of 400,000+ coaches, to be a part of an EXCLUSIVE TEST GROUP for Tony Horton's new program 22 Minute Hard Corps!!!

So what does that even mean?!? ➡

 I'll be going through the entire program with some other incredible coaches BEFORE it releases in early 2016!!

This experience will include::

Getting my tush kicked

Following a new nutrition plan

Giving feedback

Tracking & sharing my journey

....OH! & working on some MEGA results!

I don't think I can fully explain how grateful I am for coaching and all of the doors it has opened for me!

Representing my team.. Is an honor. Taking part of this.. Is completely surreal. I'm blessed, excited & a bit (or maybe a lot) nervous after seeing a sneak peek of this program.

...BUT. I'm going to give this EVERYTHING I've got.

Be sure to follow my journey here!! I'll NEED your support through this one, y'all.

Time to ‪#‎GETSOME‬!!! 👊🇺🇸

Thankful

I was feeling a little emotional one morning very recently thinking about the freedom I have in my life right now.. How drastically different my day to day routine is from last year.

👗 I don't go TO work anymore, so I no longer dress up or put on makeup unless it's the weekend.

🚗 I go days at a time without leaving the house or driving my car.

⏰ I don't set an alarm clock unless I have appointment or DECIDE to get up early to work.

For most of us young folk nowadays.. That's kind of crazy, right??

While it's been a HUGE mental transition, it's been the biggest blessing!!

I ❤ spending each day with my fur babes.

I ❤ being able to greet my hubby when he comes home from work.

I ❤ that I have fewer selfish focuses everyday when trying to 'get ready for work'.. Aka brush my teeth and walk to the office.

Guys...

📍I haven't had to take a sick day or juggled paid time off since this summer.

📍I haven't missed out on one important family moment.

📍I get to live.my.life.by.design...

Who WOULDN'T want to work towards that?!

So later on that same day, the emotion continued when Hubby walked in my office and called me his sugar momma & congratulated me and my team on our accomplishments 🙈🍦


You'd giggle, but it actually got me a bit choked up... Coming home to work a non traditional business wasn't something widely celebrated or understood last summer.. So having the ONE person who's opinion matters, who's also my constant cheerleader, acknowledge that it's paying of makes me SO proud!

👉We're giving freely of our time and resources.. Sponsoring a boy in Haiti, volunteering and participating in local ministry opportunities.

👉We're spoiling each other a bit for Christmas..

👈We're making BIG life plans that make me nauseous, scared and excited all at once.

And it's in part because of my business with Beachbody.

For a long time, I was the only thing in my way.. And I just wish I had started his journey sooner. So friends.... MOVE OVER and take your life by the reigns. Use the gifts and talents God has given you to make a difference in people's lives and change.your.circumstances.

If you need me, I'll be over here counting my blessings and thanking Jesus 😊

Year END Resolution: Finish STRONGER than You Started

*These are my REAL 4 week progress photos from last fall in my very first accountability group, y'all!*

#YearEndResolution ..ever heard of it?

.

Well, it's how I'm helping my fellow ladies stay on track during December. Did you know that during the holiday season, 75% of annual weight gain occurs? Are you going to be part of that icky statistic or prove it wrong with me?

.

Beginning December 2nd, I'm committing (again) to 30 minute daily workouts, simple nutrition with easy meal plans & group support to stay strong against egg nog and peppermint galore ... I want to feel PROUD of myself when 2016 rolls around- not like I have to "fix" the repercussions of my choices in November and December.

.

Are you at all curious? Want to end this year and START next year differently than you have in the past? 

.

I'm enrolling FIVE applicants thru November 24th and would love for you to be considered to take part in this Resolution challenge with me! Make this year different and be PROUD of yourself.

.

Apply HERE to be considered & to reserve YOUR spot!

Gimme the DISH on Coaching!

"So..... what exactly DO you do for work??"

.
I get this question fairly often....ESPECIALLY now that 1) we've moved to a new area and we're meeting new people all the time 2) people seem posts about being at home everyday
.
The short answer is:: 
...I'm a health & wellness coach
.
The real answer::
...I'm 25 years old, working from home, building an online health & wellness business that changes peoples every.single.day.
.
I help people get started on their journey or amp up their current routine with at-home exercise programs and healthy eating.

(ever heard of Insanity, P90x, etc? yep, those types of programs!)I work WITH them providing support and accountability, meal planning tips & ultimately, we build a relationship!
.
I run monthly support groups for busy people working on their goals. We work TOGETHER. We encourage and support one another. I sweat WITH them!

Sounds pretty great, right?
.
I get to lead a team of AMAZING women {& a couple of dudes} who have all decided to become coaches to help others also.
.
So why should YOU consider coaching??
.
>Because you need the accountability yourself. You need a REASON to stop giving up on your health and fitness goals.
.
>Because you are CRAVING a deeper purpose...a job that actually helps others...a job you can feel good about...one that doesn't drain you everyday of energy meant for your family and passions.
.
>Because an extra $100-$1,000 a month would make all the difference for your family.
.
>Because you have a burning desire in your GUT to do something BIG with your life. You're tired of the 9-5. You're tired of your cubicle. You're tired of your holiday hours dictating your time to enjoy life...
->You CRAVE living a life that YOU DESIGN.<- br="">.
Join us THIS Thursday night at 8:00pm EST to get the DISH on this opportunity called beachbody coaching. Listen to our live, 30 minute webinar to find out if this might be the missing piece you've been looking/waiting/longing for.

Beauty in the JOURNEY

Ever scroll through photos & reminisce in gratitude on the beauty throughout your journey? 

.

I used to be a frustrated newly-wed feeling self-conscious, discouraged and "stuck." I settled into my circumstances because I forgot what it was like to dream & dare. I depended on my spouse for my happiness, which led to resentment and sadness. That was then.. Fast forward a bit.

.

I found an incredible opportunity in network marketing as a health & wellness coach last fall & now spend my days helping others. I am FINALLY confident. I am a dreamer. I KNOW that I serve a great purpose. For the first time in a long time, I truly believe in myself. The person in the left photo couldn't have typed those words.

.

Because of this opportunity with Beachbody:

.

I am no longer chained to a schedule.

I am planning for our future family.

I have confidence in my own skin.

I feel purpose in my work of helping people.

I am experiencing freedom on a daily basis.

I am an entrepreneur.

.

This journey has transformed me from the inside out & has been one of our biggest blessings as a couple... finding like minded friends to surround ourselves with. Becoming healthier so we can affect our families through our own example. Finding a level of financial freedom that allows us to spend more time on our relationship doing things we've alway wanted to! We're so grateful & now it's time to pay this forward!
.
I’m starting an online New Coach Mentorship training in a couple of weeks. During this training, I will personally mentor you on a daily basis and provide one-on-one encouragement as you learn the ropes. I will teach YOU how to create a thriving business.
.

I have 5 mentorship spots available. So, if you want to be considered for one of the spots for my November training, fill out this questionnaire & I will send you some information. 

.

Know someone who may a good fit? Send them to this post! This could DEFINITELY change the course of your family's life like it has for us.

.

Questionnaire Application Link HERE.

I can't WAIT to work with you!!

Blueberry Spinach Muffins

I'm always on the hunt for healthy, no-guilt treat recipes that are easy to whip up, as I am by NO means a baker. Tonight, I was paroozing pinterest, while standing hungrily in my kitchen post-workout, & found my inspiration for this recipe.

{recipe found here, but my recipe includes adaptations}

My Ingredients:

1.5 C Whole Wheat Flour

2 Tablespoons + 2 Teaspoons of Truvia

1.2 C Unsweetened Applesauce

"Palm-ful" of Fresh Blueberries

1 Large Egg

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 C Fresh Spinach

2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

Dash of Salt

[[I also ended up using a splash of unsweetened almond milk]]

Directions:

1. Turn on your favorite iTunes station or the latest episode of The Bachelorette.

... THEN, Pre-heat oven to 350° F :)

2. Combine Truvia, Egg, Applesauce, Vanilla Extract, Oil & Spinach in a blender or food processor and give it a whirl! Pour blended spinach liquid into a large mixing bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt.

4. Mix the wet & dry ingredients together with a spatula- the duo will form a thick dough.

**To loosen mine up a bit, so I could fold in my blueberries, I added a splash of unsweetened almond milk.

5. Fold in said blueberries

6. Spoon dough into a greased muffin tin & place in over for 15-18 minutes.

7. Eat a muffin IMMEDIATELY after baking (just kidding, watch out for burning your mouth!). Then, portion the rest of the muffins into baggies so you can freeze or refrigerate the perfect amount.

**This recipe makes about 9-10 large muffins**

If your sweet tooth is super cray-cray & you need to take these bad boys to the next level, try drizzling a small amount of honey or agave while hot!

Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.

Bon Appetit
