I went from a mom stressed and tired always finding myself in the SAME situation, flat broke after my bills we paid! Now, fast-foward & I know EXACTLY what I want in life, and have seen many of my dreams become my reality, I never have to worry about money, and BEST OF ALL... I get to help others make those same changes in their lives! BLESSED!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">.<br /> I wanted to share<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> my 5 RULES to attaining business success:<br /> .<br /> #1 RULE - Don't let anyone determine what you are capable of... because I know plenty of people who didn't believe in me... or Beachbody... but the only belief I needed to be successful in this was MY OWN!<br /> .<br /> #2 RULE - CONSTANTLY look for ways to serve in the lives of others (without looking for something in return!) Every job should be looked at as a SERVICE job... no matter if you are an accountant, postman, coach, or server... Give people the BEST of you... no matter WHAT you do!<br /> .<br /> # 3 RULE - Stretch yourself beyond what you think you are capable of every single day! If you are not uncomfortable at least 5 times a day then there is a good chance you are not growing in the direction of your dreams! You HAVE TO be willing to do the little things you DON'T WANT to do in the short-term... to get to the BIG things you DO WANT to do in the long-term.<br /> .<br /> # 4 RULE - Add VALUE to people's life... Leave everyone better for having known you... Listen to them without thinking about what YOU are going to say next, really take in the emotion in their words and respond with thoughtfulness! This alone sets you apart from the pack!<br /> .<br /> # 5 RULE - Work on YOUR OWN problems and issues first, before you try changing others... *This was a BIG turning point in MY life* So many of us spend our time picking apart others, pointing out how easy it would be for them to turn their life around... but do NOTHING about changing our own! You want to help others change? Start living up to the potential in YOUR OWN LIFE! You cannot make someone change, but you can INSPIRE them to seek their own light... by shinning YOURS!<br /> .<br /> Just as a candle can light another candle without losing any of its own light... You can ignite passion in thousands without ever having to DIM your own light. So BURN BRIGHTLY, unashamed of your God given glory... Because you never know HOW MANY candles there are out there just waiting to be LIT by YOU!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9V6U3kK_DM/VmBgBK6p5SI/AAAAAAAAEjQ/0uoyOfyWpDI/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-12-03%2Bat%2B10.28.44%2BAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="beachbody, girlboss, value, business success, shine, light, dreams, 5 Rules, Alyssa schomaker, Beachbody top coach, shine, blessed, belief, successful, " border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q9V6U3kK_DM/VmBgBK6p5SI/AAAAAAAAEjQ/0uoyOfyWpDI/s400/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-12-03%2Bat%2B10.28.44%2BAM.png" title="" width="292" /></a></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /> </span></div>

Bikini competition prep: Day one

I have been thinking of competing in a fitness show for three years now. One of those things that lingers in the back of my mind but, never took action to actually complete it. Truth be told I heard so may horror stories of women taking steroids (even in the bikini division) and using diuretics to dry out prior to the show that it turned me off from the sport. I know that this is not everyone and I am so happy that I did my research when looking for a bikini prep coach. After working with a coach in the off season I decided that it was time to find someone new. I wanted and needed someone that health would be their main priority during the process. I do not want to end up with adrenal fatigue or stuck eating chicken, tilapia, and asparagus for 14 weeks.  I am very educated on clean eating... this is what I do so I have that down pat. But, prepping for a show is completely different. It requires tweaks to your diet on a week to week, even day to day basis as you get closer to show time. I am so happy that the coach I am working with gets me and my concerns. He is an IFBB pro but, he is also a Physician's Assistant. Best of both worlds in my opinion.<br /> <br /> I want to continue to use my beachbody workouts for the prep. At this time I am using P90x3 and I love it. Home workouts will be added into my program. I am also doing a lot of heavy lifting, and plyometric work at the gym. I can lift weights at home but, will need someone to spot me during my workouts so this is why I will be working out in the gym with my trainer to keep me safe.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NGZeABtAzfc/UuA1citg_1I/AAAAAAAACSA/0SGdGI6f1uE/s1600/bootyburn.jpg%3fw=567.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bikini comp prep, food prep, dreams, Beachbody coach, Bikini division, nurse, A Fit nurse, Alyssa Schomaker, home workouts" border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NGZeABtAzfc/UuA1citg_1I/AAAAAAAACSA/0SGdGI6f1uE/s1600/bootyburn.jpg%3fw=567.jpeg" title="" width="235" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> The thing that excites me the most is that I have actually worked up enough courage to go through with the process. This is something that I have had on my bucket list for some time now but, just never pursued my dream. I plan to blog about my experience to hold myself accountable and to add my insights for anyone that has been thinking about competing. I know that there are some obstacles that are standing in my way... such as a cruise in March (Thank you Beachbody). However, there is a gym on the cruise ship and I can choose healthy meals on the trip. I am determined to see how my body transforms. I am doing this for me and nobody else. I am a mother of three young children. I am a nurse and also own a health and fitness business. If I can do this then anyone can do this... It is all about your mind frame. Being focused and disciplined.  Keeping your eye on the prize!!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3LGK4tPB5E/UuA15YpJDlI/AAAAAAAACSI/cQ6FwRuw-Do/s1600/996607_10151848401062856_1495591156_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="391" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3LGK4tPB5E/UuA15YpJDlI/AAAAAAAACSI/cQ6FwRuw-Do/s1600/996607_10151848401062856_1495591156_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> I am use to doing a food prep every week. So this week was no different then most. I made some chicken, grass fed ground beef, sweet potatoes, asparagus, and brussel sprouts last evening. I also cut up some fresh fruit and veggies.... strawberries and peppers.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FkMSb8HQbzw/UuA38aC8E9I/AAAAAAAACSY/q_473viJpO8/s1600/mealprepmonday.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bikini comp prep, food prep, dreams, Beachbody coach, Bikini division, nurse, A Fit nurse, Alyssa Schomaker, home workouts" border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FkMSb8HQbzw/UuA38aC8E9I/AAAAAAAACSY/q_473viJpO8/s1600/mealprepmonday.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> My trainer gave me the assignment this week to record what I eat and also to record my workouts. He wants to examine my normal routine... food choices, calories consumed, and what exercises I include in my training. I am using my fitness pal to track my food and bought a cute exercise diary to track my workouts. Next, week he will reevaluate my plan and we will start training together. I was playing around last night and had my husband take some before shots for me. I have some work to do but, I am determined to work hard and bring in my best package for the show.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SygJ1E3uCyg/UuA3fhe5VgI/AAAAAAAACSU/pCPHVioZ-jA/s1600/1557491_600638763341940_485101782_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bikini comp prep, food prep, dreams, Beachbody coach, Bikini division, nurse, A Fit nurse, Alyssa Schomaker, home workouts" border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SygJ1E3uCyg/UuA3fhe5VgI/AAAAAAAACSU/pCPHVioZ-jA/s1600/1557491_600638763341940_485101782_n.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> So here we go!!! I am very excited that I made the mental commitment to compete. Now, I just have to get registered for the show. I am doing the Jim Manions NPC Pittsburgh Championship. It is a pretty big show but, go big or go home right;) I plan on registering this week!!! EEEEEEKKKK!!<br /> This is all so real now!<br /> <br /> Lesson learned: A DREAM is just a DREAM... You must take physical and mental energy to make it REALITY!<br /> <br />
