Me, a Speaker?!?!

This is so CRAZY for me to see...my face on a countdown for a team call with thousands of people. Me.. a small town girl, who is just now finally connecting with who I am at the age of 29. I get major anxiety even giving a talk at church, or standing in front of people. That's not where I'm comfortable...but I also know that we can't grow unless we are continually getting uncomfortable.

So I'm embracing this opportunity and I'm speaking about "letting obstacles EMPOWER you, not DEVOUR you."

Now to practice breathing.... :) :) :)

Clean Eating Cookies!

Soooo...

Sometimes my concoctions totally fail and sometimes they rock. #justsayin 

I'm really bad at measuring and following a recipe, I tend to raid the cupboards and dump and stir. And tonight it was a WIN! 

After going gluten, sugar and dairy free my cravings have been out of control!!! 

So tonight in my attempt to stay on the bull, I came up with these. And the amounts are a guess FYI

😉

1/4 c melted coconut oil

1/2 c applesauce 

1/3 c pure maple syrup

3/4 c almond milk 

3/4 c coconut flour 

1/2 c almond flour

1/4 unsweetened coconut 

1 scoop vegan chocolate Shakeology 

1 mashed banana 

1 tbsp cinnamon 

2 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp ground flax seed 

Mash and Mix until thick and moist. If you need to add a little more liquid, do so. Scoop with small ice cream scoop and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Voila! 

5 Day Sneak Peek into Beachbody Coaching

I used to be the girl who stood in the back of a crowd, when something was scary I would turn around and leave..when opportunities arose, I declined for fear of failure. I passed up a lot of amazing opportunities. 
And that's okay, because everything in life has a purpose, and I'm grateful for everything that has brought to where I am today. 

And today - I live with courage, I soak up opportunities, and I work hard to make the most of this ONE LIFE. I don't want to miss anything anymore. And when I think of what life would be like if I had passed up the opportunity with Beachbody Coaching,
I shudder.
I'm a different person now, my family's life is different..everything is different, and for that I am so grateful.

Coaching provides an environment for you to work on you. It doesn't require expertise by any means. I'm just a small town girl from Idaho, who is a college drop out, who quit almost everything that would come along because I was scared of failure. My house has milk spills, cheerios, and unmade beds. My kids have cold cereal for dinner more times than I'd like to admit. I forget pajama days at school, and really need to clean out my car ;). I'm just ME...flaws and all, but I have a passion in having this time to ME each day where I get to talk with other Moms and we get to make this world a healthier and happier place.

It holds you accountable for your health and fitness, it pushes you to stay consistent, it pushes you to GROW yourself internally through personal development. Through this you learn how to have an unshakeable belief in yourself, you learn how to have a better attitude, you learn how to BELIEVE in those around you, you learn time management etc. All of these things help you come up out of the dirt and start to bloom. We're all like little seeds trying to fight through the dirt to pop up, get air and breathe and then start to grow and bloom into something bigger than we ever imagined.

That's why I believe we're here. We are here to have dirt thrown on us, we're here to get stepped on sometimes, and have weeds take over us and choke us sometimes. We GET to have that happen in order to REALIZE our strength, our determination, our FIGHT that's in us. We all WANT to be more!!! We all want to make a difference!!! None of us want to stay the same. We all have big goals deep inside of us that we want to happen.

Well, as coaches - we start to believe that those dreams don't need to stay inside anymore. Every goal in life deserves to be worked towards. Because as you're working on YOU through health and fitness and personal development, you don't just dream anymore, you make it a goal and you BELIEVE that it can happen! You have a team surrounding you to lift you up, to push you, to believe in you and you start feel this amazing FAMILY feeling. You feel a part of something HUGE and AMAZING.

I not only FOUND ME again, I learned how to CREATE me. I pulled that shy, let me stay in the background, girl out and I started to realize that I had a passion for helping people realize their self worth, their divine nature, their significance, their value, their belief in themselves. I want them to feel empowered. I want them to realize that a health and fitness journey is anything but the scale..it's the opposite. It's about becoming STRONG, and unstoppable. It's about leading the way as MOM's for our family to live a healthier life. To FEEL AMAZING while we're here.

So yeah..it's changed my life physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually and I post this because I know there are others out there who want more..who have been where I was and I want to tell YOU that I want to help you on your own journey. That you can coach too..you can be IMPERFECT just like our team is..we all fail every single day..but we get back up and keep moving forward to BECOMING WHO WE ARE.

So if you've ever thought about coaching, I'm running a 5 Day FREE SNEAK PEEK that will explain all the nitty gritty into what Coaching is. This group will be in a private group on Facebook, so please message me.

I will personally be mentoring 5 women who are ready to make this change in their life next month. These women must be:
*want to work on themselves with their health and fitness journey
*want to gain a stronger belief in themselves
*want to earn extra money to pay off debt or more
*put their excuses out the window and be willing to WORK
*excited and passionate!!
*care about others, and want to make a difference

Monday Night Selfie

Monday night means Family Home Evening at the Rose house. (CrAzInEsS) 

We talked about the temple tonight and have decided to build the Salt Lake City temple via Legos (http://brickemyoung.com/) together for the next several Monday nights along with lessons and testimonies about them. Then after its built, we'll go visit Temple Square.

With 4 crazy kids, having these nights to sit down and talk can make us feel like referees sometimes. But I know it's worth it. I know they'll look back and remember these times we set aside to have together. 

I'm so grateful that Chris and I were married in the Idaho Falls temple for time and all eternity and are sealed as a family forever. I'm grateful that I can escape the craziness of the world and go find peace in the temple and feel that closeness with my Father in Heaven. I know as Chris and I attend regularly we can have protection as a family and be strengthened and receive answers.

I'm grateful for my little family. They're my everything, and I'm so grateful that we have each other to learn and grow together in this life. My prayer is that my children will be best friends, that they'll always feel safe in our home to express themselves and be who they are and always feel love. They teach me every day about  unconditional love and forgiveness. I'm so lucky to be their Mom. I'm so grateful for Coaching in our lives to provide the freedom to be present with them each day, and to provide a future for them to chase their dreams and have opportunities to serve and help others.

This just might be a favorite picture of mine of all of us <3. 

Welcome to my Blog!!

I'm so excited to be back up and blogging!! I'd neglected it for awhile, but now I've got time to dive in and just TYPE!! I love how therapeutic it is for me, and how many answers I get when I just let my fingers fly and all my thoughts seem to make sense.

Today - I decided to start making videos...HUGE STEP OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE!!! AHHHHH!!

But I decided I was going to make a rule for myself. Only ONE TAKE, and I don't re -watch and critique myself!! ;)

So here the world gets to view and see ME, in all my imperfections, quirks and hear part of my story!!

Here's a sneak peek into ME and just PART of my journey as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach!

What is Beachbody Coaching?!

I'll admit, when I was little my dream was never to be a Beachbody Coach when I grew up :). But what's funny is I could never put a title to that dream I had of the kind of life I wanted. The kind of freedom I wanted. Something that would allow me to help others, yet also work on myself. Because let's be honest...when we start having kids - it's so EASY to put ourselves last. I didn't think a job like this existed!

So when I found myself at the end of my rope after having my 3rd baby in 4 years..feeling that depression and desperation for change, I knew it was time to find SOMETHING.

I found Beachbody, and signed up as coach simply for the discount on Shakeology. I knew I had to have that in my body,  and the 25% discount was too good to pass up. Before I knew it, I had my challenge pack and was about to start my transformation journey, posted about it on Facebook and had 5 other people that wanted to also start theirs, and in that moment I started a business from HOME, from my kitchen table, with babies sleeping on my lap. Simply from working on me, and helping others work on them.

2.5 years later, I've been able to retire my husband from his Federal Government job, bring him home so that we can be a full time family, he doesn't have to miss out on our kids' activities, and he can chase his dreams and also work from home. We can travel and see family, we can secure our future, help others and live our life by design. I've found my childhood dream...and I thank my Heavenly Father every day for placing this opportunity in my life and for giving me the courage to help others have this same opportunity.

So that's what I'm doing..I'm paying it forward. You can have the freedom and opportunity to chase your dream! If you'd like to listen in on a webinar where I explain the ins and outs of coaching with my team, click here! https://unbreakablenation.wufoo.com/forms/coach-application/

Ready for a change??

Maybe you're like me 2.5 years ago and you've found yourself stuck in a rut. You wake up each day tired, you try on different outfits, only to be uncomfortable in everything you put on, you pin things on pinterest and WANT to get healthy and in shape, but you just keep starting and stopping. You find yourself with little patience with your kids, cravings that get the best of you, and sometimes a voice in your head tells you to just give up because making a change is just TOO hard!!

If this sounds familiar, please know that there is HOPE! Because I DID IT. I changed my life, one step at a time, one day at a time.

The first transformation on the bottom left is ME. I didn't have the money or time to go to a gym, I tried videos on my own at home only to stop after a week because I wasn't there yet to hold myself accountable. I was running outside at night after my husband got home from work, and it was helping but I was still STUCK!

Then I found a challenge group with my Beachbody coach and everything changed from that moment forward. It was a sacrifice to get my challenge pack, but I made it work because I WANTED CHANGE more than I wanted to STAY THE SAME. And when you really want something, you make it happen. I dived into researching clean eating, how to read labels, how to make my meals healthier, and we found Shakeology through that. I knew after reading that ingredient list that we couldn't get these super foods and whole foods at the store, and I knew that our bodies desperately needed this nutrition!! So when my challenge pack came, it had a 30 day supply of Shakeology, the workout program Insanity, and I had a challenge group that I had committed to check in with each night to report my day!!

60 days later, I no longer needed naps each day, my cravings were gone, I had more energy, clarity, I was happier and I was 12 inches smaller, and 8 lbs lighter. It just continued to get better from there :)

2.5 years later I've helped other women reach their goals month after month by passing on everything I've learned. I see women getting off migraine medication thanks to Shakeology, cholesterol and blood pressure medications, those with autoimmune, it's helping their symptoms, etc.

In these groups I share my favorite recipes, my grocery shopping trips, sample meal plan ideas, I have them check in each day with what they ate and how their workout went, and sometimes sweaty selfies. And I see the light come back in their faces. Their confidence increases, they see how STRONG they are..and best of all -

THIS LASTS! This is a full circle LIFESTYLE CHANGE!

And lucky for you - if this sounds like what you deserve right now to make a change in your life, I have 2 spots left in my group starting next week! Let me know if you want it and I just might send a bonus workout dvd to you in the mail as well ;) Add me on www.facebook.com/mindyjrose and we can talk more and get you added in the private challenge group which is on facebook!

Our DREAM is REAL!

Today is a day we'll never forget...with tears streaming down my face, I struggle to find the right words to share with the world just how much today means to us. 

I remember as newlyweds, I was pregnant and sick and yet I was working 12+ hour shifts, taking breaks to run to the bathroom due to morning sickness, Chris was working and going to school and we were doing everything we could to make ends meet. I then had to come home because I was so sick and for the next several years, I watched my husband work so incredibly hard so I could stay home with my 3 back to back kids. Those years were a whirlwind. I hated watching him work multiple jobs, and come home and do homework and I hated living in government funded housing and use food stamps to help get groceries. I hated never seeing my best friend and I dreamed of a day when we would be FREE. I dreamed of a day when I could say YES to friends when they wanted to go out, because I could actually afford it someday. I dreamed of a day when my kids could go do dance classes or play soccer and pursue their talents. I dreamed of a day when I could buy a car full of HEALTHY groceries and a day when I could go visit family whenever we wanted without saving up for the travel costs and not worrying about losing those days off of work.

Fast forward to 2.5 years ago...we had hit a point in our lives when Chris DID have a great job, and we were finally able to make all of our payments by ourselves, but there wasn't much hope of SAVING. We were at a point where we knew it was time to CHANGE. I didn't know who I was anymore...I was depressed, so uncomfortable in my own skin, and scared of the example I was setting for my children, but didn't know how to get out of that hole. I saw some posts on Facebook of this girl who spoke to me. We messaged, I felt hope, and I signed up as Beachbody Coach. The moment that would forever change our lives.

TODAY...I know without a doubt who I am, my purpose here on earth, and I feel a never ending fire burning within me to be a lighthouse for others who are in that same hole I was, to help them see that they have the power to change their story in this very moment and write the rest of their life story. I feel a burning mission inside to help people KNOW WHO THEY ARE, and to empower themselves through health and fitness. The past 2.5 years have been some of the HARDEST and most life changing years of our lives. I overcame an eating disorder, Chris was able to go off depression mediation and go through some intense OCD therapy and find freedom, I went through a risky fetal surgery for my 4th baby and was on hospital bedrest afterwards. I've learned how to juggle 4 young kids, and go to all the appointments that come with Spina Bifida, find out I have an autoimmune disease and still build this business while my husband was an hour away at work working 12 hours. I had more moments than I could count where I doubted that I could do this. Through all of those trials, I kept my eyes on WHY......

WHY is today so significant???

Because thanks to this incredible opportunity, Chris was able to put in his notice at his job. In 3 weeks - our dream will be a reality. The dream I would day dream about...him not leaving before the sun comes up, him seeing the kids for more than 2 hours a day. I DREAMED about having a FULL TIME FAMILY. I dreamed of having him home to help with Camden. The thought of him being able to help take the kids to school and coach their sport teams, and do this business with me at home and pursue HIS dream. I dreamed of him being able to use his story to help others, and to have the FREEDOM of TIME! TIME is PRICELESS. This is our ONE LIFE and I wanted to live it to the fullest! I thought of how many more people we can reach as we combine forces. After all, that's what life is all about...helping others. #everyonematters

So today..I will write in my journal how much gratitude I feel for this dream coming true. To bring our family this freedom of TIME. I'll write of how we're moving to Utah to allow Camden to get the care he deserves at the Spina Bifida Clinic in Salt Lake City and how I get choked up thinking about how we're able to help him in this way. I'll write how much gratitude I feel for a loving Heavenly Father who has prepared us to be able to do this, and who has place those promptings in our hearts to make this decision NOW.

We are truly moving forward with faith and jumping and spreading our wings.

Thank you Carl Daikeler for this opportunity that has blessed our family more than you'll ever know. Thank you to my amazing team, who are like sisters to me. This is just the start for Unbreakable Nation 

Challenger Success!!

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! This totally made my day!! Just 21 days of commitment and hard work!! This busy mama inspires me daily and not only achieved her own success in less than a month, but also has her MIL doing this with her and she also lost 11.25 inches and 5 lbs.

She is a Busy Mom of 3 little boys, the youngest who also has Spina Bifida like my little one. But she found, what I did - that when you make that time for YOU each day, you're better able to take care of those around you. You have more PATIENCE, ENERGY, you feel EMPOWERED to tackle whatever is ahead of you that day. You don't always feel like doing it...but you're always grateful when it's over.

I absolutely LOVE receiving texts like this and seeing the lifestyle change happening.. They feel better inside and out and just adds fuel to the fire of this passion I have for this JOB. And for the mission we're on to End the Trend of Obesity! 

Next groups starts May 25th! If you want to save a spot let me know!! 🎉💥✨💫Add me on Facebook at Facebook.com/mindyjrose or email to learn more! 

Kids, Homework and Clean Eating

My thyroid got the best of me today and I forced myself to STAY DOWN. I was so tired of laying down all day though, although I definitely benefited from the rest.. So when Addy got home from school, I made them Strawberry Shakeology with spinach and fruit in it, and spinach cakes for an after school snack. #MomWin! 

They were in heaven!! 

And then we turned on our favorite educational playlist on YouTube and did some homework. Mason and McKinley got to trace letters and numbers and Addy did her 1st grade notebook from school. This doesn't happen very often, so I soaked in the 20-30 minutes that they ALL STAYED FOCUSED! 4 kids under 6 can be so chaotic sometimes!

That was my success for the day 😉.

Always recognize your successes!!! As Moms we easily find all the things we didn't do - instead focus on all the things you DID DO! <3
