A Healthier Way To Make Sazon

My first bilingual post: So why am I making my own Sazon? Well, because I have no desire to have extra MSG in my body and I don’t know what yellow 5, tricalcium phosphate, or what red 40 is. I love Goya products but you don’t need all the extra ingredients. Making it a habit to make your own foods will make you less reliant on packaged and processed foods. Our culture and our foods are based on…

You Are Limitless

You Are Limitless I have been using this hashtag A LOT and its because my team name is the Limitless Army. What is a team? Well, my team of coaches of course! ;) If you want more information on that, feel free to email me at melthecoach (At) gmail.com. But I want to talk to you about WHY the word LIMITLESS spoke to me. The dictionary definition of the word is “without boundaries.” Personally, I…

What you’ll need? 6 ounces uncooked skinless boneless chicken breast 1.5 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon of olive oil As much sprinkle of any Mrs. Dash seasoning you like 3 cups mixed salad greens, such as…

When my Personal Life and Fitness Life COLLIDE at my wedding

When my Personal Life and Fitness Life COLLIDE at my wedding

Hey loves! I share a lot on social media but most of it has to do with my fitness journey. Not so much of my personal life. However, on my wedding day, my fitness journey and my personal life came together in a super special way! Here is the short version of the story. In late April, I was chosen to be part of a test group for a new dance fitness program that Beachbody is releasing in July called…

Personal Development

So its no surprise to anyone that I do a lot of reading and a lot of listening. I post it all over social media and I am always referencing some guru. I just love knowledge. Which is why my earbuds are always in my ear and why I LIVE on Personal Development. My phone looks like this: I listen to some podcasts as a way to better understand people and I listen to others as a way to better…

I GOT MARRIED IN CENTRAL PARK

I GOT MARRIED IN CENTRAL PARK

And it was not COSTLY! Yes you heard me! It was not expensive. There are so many places to get married in the park and the permit varies. For the most part, it’s just $25 but some locations, like the Conservatory Garden, are $200 for the permit. Personally, I am not a fan of catering halls and their costly prices and ginormous rooms. It’s not for me. I never wanted to get married or have a party…

How to be a Beautiful Bride on a Budget

How to be a Beautiful Bride on a Budget

Okay, first you are already beautiful. No dress. No makeup. No special flowers or accessories will make you anymore beautiful than you are. However, I needed a title for this blog post and that’s what I went with. I got married on May 16th and one of the things everyone kept commenting on was my wedding outfit. The truth is that it cost me very little to pull it off and I wanted to share it with…

The Desire For More

The Desire For More

When you were a child, did you ever think you were just going to be an average person? a cubicle? a number? or did you dream of greatness?

My whole childhood, I knew I was destined for really big things. I had no idea what they were and when I was a young adult, I thought I had it all figured out but now at 32, I am back to that question, “what is my destiny?”

I am sure that by now you are aware…

Living!

Living! http://wp.me/s1CxG3-living

Live. I’ve been reminded to LIVE a lot lately. To be honest, I thought I was always living but recently I’ve realized that I haven’t. See, for a long time I’ve just moved through the motions of life. Take a job because it pays well. Regardless whether it’s a job I love or not, I would stay because there are bills to pay.

With college and grad school, I accumulated lots of student loan debt and…

Beachbody Success Club Trip Day 4

For most coaches, day 4 was another full day of events but I left early. It worked out for me because I had all day Sunday to prepare myself for the week.

So, on Day 4, we didn’t really do much except get one more workout in with Shaun T, eat lots of desserts and food and say goodbye to our friends on the trip.

I must tell you that as I reflect on this trip, I am so happy I didn’t turn down this…

Beachbody Success Club Trip Day 3

I was so excited for today!!! We woke up for our work out with Tony Horton super pumped! Tony is my dude. He introduced me to Beachbody years ago through P90x. That program motivated me to become a fitness blogger and a personal trainers and now a coach. I love everything he does. The opportunity to workout with him LIVE is just bananas. He did an MMX style workout and I was sweating. The routine…
