10 Weeks Out NPC FIGURE Competition Pittsburgh, PA

As I am prepping for my 2nd NPC Figure Competition, I have gained a lot of knowledge, but also more struggles!  But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?!? As I started prepping 14 weeks out for my show, I was not fully committed. I was consistent with my workouts, but not with my nutrition... I was letting my emotions and struggles in life get the best of me.  But what changed my mind set a few weeks ago was walking into Gold's gym to my trainer laughing at me saying I might as well drop out of the show... well, like I said before, when you doubt me, I work harder than ever.  I am a very competitive person and I do not let ANYONE tell me I cannot do something.  
So I had another push.. people around me doubting my potential to succeed in something that was important to me.  The tough part was, although I felt it was important, I was not acting upon it.  Time to make some changes!
Since then, I've been consistent with my workouts with BODY BEAST and INSANITY MAX 30 as my cardio every morning.  I also have been incorporating my health shake SHAKEOLOGY that gives me my daily dose of dense nutrition and super foods.  Nutrition is 80%, so I knew by staying committed to my nutrition and to my workouts, my results can only improve right?! 
Well, here is a look of what 4 weeks of giving 100% to your workouts and nutrition!

Inches gone, back fat gone, love handles gone, and bloating gone!! This momma has more energy, is feeling much more confident 10 weeks out from my 2nd show!! Since this show in Pittsburgh is much bigger than my first, I need to keep this momentum going so I can place!! Yes, I need a LOT of work with my posing! I feel like I lost that, so my practicing starts now and will practice longer! 

My MEAL PLAN 10 WEEKS OUT:
MEAL 1- MAN CAKES (without the apple of course) -- NO fruit from here on out 
MEAL 2- SHAKEOLOGY with 1/2 scoop whey protein (got my extra protein and more nutrition than any meal)
MEAL 3- Grilled Chicken and broccoli, 1 sweet potato
MEAL 4- SHAKEOLOGY w/ 1/2 scoop whey protein, 1/4 cup raw almonds
MEAL 5- Grilled Chicken, green beans
MEAL 6- 5 hard boiled egg whites


My workout schedule:
Monday-  AM Cardio INSANITY MAX 30
Afternoon- BODY BEAST- Shoulders and Tri's, 30 min light cardio on incline

Tuesday- AM Cardio INSANITY MAX 30
Afternoon- BODY BEAST- Leg Day, plyos, 30 min cardio on stepper

Wed- AM cardio INSANITY MAX 30
Afternoon- BODY BEAST- Back and Bi's, 30 min cardio incline

Thurs- AM cardio INSANITY MAX 30

Saturday- BODY BEAST- Leg Day, 30 min light cardio incline

So there you have it... Nutrition 80% of your results, Exercise 20%..... Give 100% with both and you will get results!! 
Ive learned that no matter what obstacles come in your way, as long as your motive is good enough for YOU, then you will succeed! Do not let anyone tell you you can't! Keep pushing, keep believing, and keep achieving!!

Strawberry Protein Man Cakes

You all may know how obsessed I am with my Man cakes! So as I am home with my mother visiting for the weekend, she's been on her health kick also and being creative with her meals! She's been using man cakes as her breakfast to get her protein in and nutrition... Well, this morning, she took it upon herself to be extra creative!! She had some strawberry SHAKEOLOGY in the house and wanted to make a recipe other than a shake!

NPC FIGURE COMPETITION PREP 11 WEEKS OUT- PITTSBURGH, PA

I am sooooo glad to say this past week has been great!!! I am finally back in my mind set and where I need to be! Now to keep it!! HAHA! If you ever did a show, you will know this is a total mind game!! I am learning a lot each time I prep though and it is such a great experience!! 
So this is my second Figure show I am prepping for and my first one was pretty small.  I won 3 1st places and I am moving up to a bigger show in Pittsburgh, PA so I need to step up my game! I am continuing to do my home fitness programs INSANITY MAX 30 as my cardio and plyo, and for my weight training, I am using BODY BEAST! These 2 programs are kicking my butt!! I love the fact that I can train hard, but do not have to always leave my house!! It is difficult when I am trying to put in some hours and work and be with my boys, so instead of spending 30 minutes driving back and forth to the gym, you have the comfort of your own home and get your workout done in 30 minutes! Also saving on a gym membership helps to put that money into your healthy meals!!

Here is an example of my meal plan for the week... Its simple and to the point! I keep it easy to I save on time cooking, and money at the grocery store! I have learned not to go for the taste, but for the nutrition!! It really has helped me reach my goals faster!

No more cheat meals, I am getting strict, intense and its on!! Last show I did this, but did have some cheat meals here and there... too much whipped cream and PB2 for sure!! So Im taking those out!! I need to get more tone, and tighter!! 

For my exercise this week, every morning, I am following month 2 of INSANITY MAX 30, and then my afternoon workouts are following bulk phase of BODY BEAST! Post weight training, I am doing a lighter cardio keeping my heart rate around 150.  So I do steps, inclines, and anything that will really get my buttocks! Women seem to lose that last and we have our trouble spots there! For me to be in another small suit, I need to make sure there are no flaws! ;)-

Checking in!! EEEEK!!!! Getting ready for a great weekend!!

One thing that drove me into working with such an amazing company such as Team Beachbody, is the opportunities that are provided to us to learn more about our business, better ourselves as a leader and person, and see the success stories both as coaches and weight loss transformations, and this weekend was even more special!

We were blessed with having an amazing location for this event at the William Penn Omni Hotel.  Finally a place big enough for all these people!! :) Did I mention we had a great photographer with us??! :)- 


Since our city of Pittsburgh is growing so much and we have so many leaders in this area, we were able to get the CEO of Team Beachbody Carl Daikeler and the creator of the 21 DAY FIX Autumn Calabrese join us for our training event! Not only that, we have  the #1 coach in the entire company with us (my cousin and mentor) Melanie Mitro! This weekend was totally filled with motivation, inspiration, and a drive to continue moving forward in this journey! Thats what I love about this company.. You are filled with positive people all around you and that drive to continue on a path to success!



 One of my favorite parts of Super Saturday... Success stories.. One of my best friends I've gained from this experience with Beachbody- My success partner... battled cancer stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma and watched her fight through her entire journey... and she survived and sweat through the whole thing. Watching her tell her story is one of the most touching stories ever... Each time I hear it, I swear it gets better and better!! So proud of her for fighting so hard through her worst time in her life.  She is OneFitFighter!!! <3 p="" you="">

Oh this night was something else!! Had lots of laughs together thats for sure!! :) 



Having some fun at the after party at Perle in Pittsburgh!! So glad to spend QT with these girls!!!

Successful Work From Home Fitness Coach and Mom

So since the new year, I totally decided to invest into my business finally!! I was so focused on other things like paying off my car and getting a room finished in our basement, but this is a new year and I needed to make a change for my business to grow!! Working from your kitchen is NOT easy!! Literally, temptations around me ALL THE TIME... I would end up walking around, getting bored, and walking right into my pantry without even thinking about what Im doing! HMMMM and wonder how I struggled so hard with my nutrition training for my NPC Figure show?!? Yea, that would be it!!!
One thing I will say has totally changed a part of how I run my business is the organization I have with an office!! Investing and creating my office was the best thing I could have done for myself! I am focused, I am organized for once in my life, and the environment is so calming and my style! I feel like a #BOSSMOM all the way!! LOL!! So before I created my office, it was my boys' toy room... I literally took everything out and put it in the sitting room since we have nothing in there anyways and in 2 days made it my own!! :)

Part of the start of my year was making a GOAL BOARD! WHY MAKE A GOAL BOARD?!?
In order to become successful, you must make goals... if you write them down somewhere, you are making them a priority and not just forgetting about them... I put a date on them because now that they have a deadline, they are more of a priority!  I have this board in my office so every day I can see what I want to achieve and I work hard to make it happen!  Each goal on here relates to Beachbody and every goal here will happen because of this journey I started!! 


One of my BIG goals for this year is connecting more with my faith and my God.  I was able to get started thanks to some amazing people who were brought into my life with Beachbody!  My best friend and I committed to reading the Bible daily so we stay on track with each other.  This was something that is not only helping me with my business, but my life in general.  Its amazing what God can do when you believe and let Him lead the way!

I also read a lot of Personal and Professional Development.  This helps me both in the success of my business, but also with my life in general! With my confidence, and ability to connect more with God and what I am brought here to do.  The quote above was something I heard from John C Maxwell, a motivational speaker.  I know that I am meant to be here as a health and fitness coach because:

#1. I am good at what I do.. Im not here to boast, Im confidently saying that this is my passion, and I know my heart is fully in this and it comes easy to me.  
#2. I have been given this amazing opportunity.. I was actually given it three times and took it on the third.  Obviously there was a reason!
#3. I absolutely LOVE what I do.. I wake up every morning excited to work... I would do it for free.

Think about how you feel about your direction you are taking in life right now. Does it make you feel complete or do you feel you have another purpose in life? 
I am looking for people who have a passion for fitness, a passion for helping others, and want to pursue and succeed at their passion.  
If you are ready to take that leap of faith and jump into what may be the opportunity to change your life, please fill out the application below to join my team and journey with me!

NPC Figure 13 Weeks Out- Body Beast & Insanity Max 30

So as I have been training for 4 weeks for my 2nd NPC Figure Competition and sharing my journey, I   just realized my counting was off with how many weeks away I was... I was 2 weeks off which gives me 2 more weeks to prep! THANK GOODNESS, because this girl needs to get with the program!!!! Was totally struggling the last few weeks!! Nutrition is 80% of your results... HONESTLY.... I hate being honest lol... But my nutrition has been about 70% and my weight training about 80%.  I missed a couple weight training workouts, but have not missed an INSANITY MAX 30 workout.  

Deidra Penrose, top fitness coach, top beachbody coach harrisburg, motivation, success, inspiration, weight loss journey, stay at home mom, clean eating, meal prep, healthy cooking, fitness motivation, weight loss tips, NPC figure competition prep, figure competitorAfter going into the gym, my trainer was completely honest with me and gave me a little... no a BIG kick in the butt!!! He said I might as well not do my show because I don't have the right mindset and I am not taking it seriously..... UMMM doesn't anyone know what happens when they doubt me?!?! HAHA totally pushes me HARDER!! I went into the gym the other day and said I have my meals prepped and Im going full force and he laughed at me and said, "you've said that before, you don't want it bad enough.." Tough love?!? YUP!!! I am pretty sure he knows how to get me back on fire!! 
So since then, its on!!! Now... Just to give some accountability, I must share what happens when you are not 100% on board with your nutrition EVEN if you workout EVERY DAY... 
I am going to go all out and show my pics that I started training for this show and 3 weeks after (last week) and how I barely changed how I look because I screwed up my nutrition....


17 weeks out-- Yea, sad how bad I let myself go after my show... BLAH!!! BUT, Im human and this is a learning experience!!




14 Weeks out
17 Weeks out
14 weeks out


17 weeks out

14 Weeks out





















Yea, so there is me being human!! This shows you that if you don't give 100% dedication to nutrition which is 80% of your results, you WILL NOT get your results! 
Honestly, I have committed to my challenge groups and now participating with them!! The past week since having that conversation with my trainer, he gave me what I need to get on track!!!
This was today.....

This morning I was listening to John C. Maxwell for my personal and professional development and it hit me hard!! So many of us give up on things because its tough, and then we question ourselves about what is best for us and what we are meant to do.... 
In reality, we just need to trust in God and know we ALL have something out there for us that we are meant to be and do.  Look at the 3 pieces of evidence that shows it was a gift from God... That is WHY I KNOW being here as a health coach and sharing this journey of mine is meant for me... This opportunity was brought right to me... I love ever minute of being a fitness coach and does not even feel like a job because I would do it without getting paid! 

 So many reasons to keep moving forward with 2015!! Its a new year, a new journey, and new opportunities!! If we do not go for it, we will never know our full potential!! 
Time to bring on the challenge, work hard for every bit of success, and make it the best year yet!!

If you would like accountability for your own health and fitness goals, this is your time to get involved... Get involved in a support group with daily motivation, accountability, fitness tips and recipes, and help with meal planning! We share our experiences along the way, but what an awesome learning experience it is!
