Home Fitness Business Opportunity---> Be A MOM BOSS with me!


I never thought in a million years, I would be able to say I do what I love and love what I do!! I always loved helping others.. so I went into nursing! I was an ER Nurse for 6 years... and LOVED IT!!! But I was simply missing something.... my time and freedom with my family!! 

I knew there were other ways to help people daily, be successful, but also have my time with my boys!! I mean, come on, our kids are only young once!! Those memories will go by SO quick!! I realized that with my oldest Chase who is 5!! I missed his first crawl, first Easter, and New Years because I worked 12 hour shifts.. I missed the opportunity to take them on vacations because I didn't have the extra finances to just up and go! I paid my bills, but that was about it.   I wanted to do something with the same value of making an impact on people's lives, but also be able to say I am not settling for less by having someone else watch my kids on holidays, someone else watch my kids play sports since I can't make it due to work... and the only person who could make that change was ME!! My life choices are up to me! 

I had to engrain that my past decisions, genetics, family history, NOTHING will define me and what I am capable of doing! I always held back in life and doing things I was passionate about because I didn't think I could make it because I was always that "average" person with a lot of crap in my past.  

One day something clicked.. I knew I didn't have to live life just being average.. I didn't have to miss memories with my boys, not have freedom to travel with my kids, or not give them the life they deserve!  I believed God put me on this earth to pursue my passion, and have an awesome life!!  Thats when I took the leap!! 

I LOVE fitness... I always loved working out! I did a fitness competition at age 18 (had no clue what I was doing, but it was a great memory lol).. I was a personal trainer at age 18.  Then just worked out at the gym, but there was always something in me that wanted to make a career out of staying healthy, accountable for my own goals, and help others do the same! Thats when I decided 3 years ago to step in the life of a Beachbody Coach! 

I have been incorporating the gym, but using my home fitness programs like 21 Day Fix, Hammer and Chisel, Body Beast, different programs that trick your body and have both weight training and cardio.... it gives me that gym type of workout and environment with a trainer in front of my face pushing me to keep going! I can be kept accountable now while I share my journey of working out and healthy eating! Shakeology is a dense nutritious meal replacement health shake that I use as a meal to help me get my extra nutrients and superfoods! I was so use to just buying regular protein powder, and being able to get more than just a protein shake has helped me with my own nutrition and goals!

So I thought, ok, I love working out, I love helping others, I want to be with my kids, travel, and gain financial freedom for our family.... was I missing something or was this my calling??? YUP!! This leap of faith I took that was placed in front of me was "that thing" that makes me excited to wake up in the morning, makes me feel complete, makes me feel I'm worth something, and allows me to be the role model for my boys so they can live a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle as well!! 

THIS WAS IT!!!

Over the past 3 years, our team has been able to maintain being at the top 0.5 % of the entire Beachbody organization! My income has grown from making my average 75,000/yr nursing salary to making my yearly full time nursing salary in just 3 months working PART-TIME at HOME! I no longer miss holidays with my kids and I attend their sporting events without a problem.. We travel at LEAST 2 a year, and I travel 4 times a year with my amazing team.  I am living the life of freedom I never thought was possible!! 

Our team is close, we get our kids together, have play dates, and have amazing friendships!! We call our kids the Beachbody babes!! LOL
We are from all over the US and Canada and still travel to be able to spend time together!

I want YOU to have this same experience.. this incredible journey of a healthy lifestyle, financial freedom, and also a positive healthy mindset! I surround myself with positive people on a daily basis! This just gets me excited!! I no longer deal with drama and stress of being around others who are unhappy and unmotivated! Our team is self motivated, driven, energetic, and passionate!  
If you are interested to hear more about what it take for you to get started on your own journey to success, freedom and pursue your passion for health and fitness, with the ability to work right from home, please fill out the application below for a spot in my next New Coach University training.  You will get training from the top team in the organization, and all the tools you need to grow your own successful home fitness business!

Fitness Beachbody Transformation with Beachbody!


I am so excited to share this amazing transformation that Jackie has had throughout her fitness journey with Beachbody!! If you are not familiar with "BEACHBODY", this is a company that is about working hard to live a healthy fulfilling life! We take away the "diet mode" and add simple things you can do DAILY to give yourself the life and body you deserve! We focus on clean eating, exercise, and support!! Our programs are all able to be done at home and whats incredible about this whole journey is there is a program out there for EVERYONE! No matter what level of fitness you are, preference of workout, limitations of exercise, or how much time you can dedicate daily to your workouts, we have something for you! 

I fell in love when I first started my own journey after having my second boy!! I was unhappy, insecure, and depressed with my body!! I took the leap, and now since being able to share my success, others have been able to join me on this incredible journey! 

Here is what Jackie had to say about her journey so far with Beachbody:

"I played sports in middle school, and cheered in high school & college. Tried running for a bit after college even did a half marathon a few years ago. So I've always enjoyed being active but I never stick with anything long term. If go to the gym here and there. 

Most recently the past four years I would go to the gym and just walk on the inclined treadmills and read a book lol. Do a little ab working out and that's it. Again I wouldn't stick with it longer than a couple of months at the most. Then after this summer I started really not being happy at all with how I looked and how I felt. It wasn't affecting my relationship but it was affecting me in our relationship if that makes sense. I just wasn't as happy.

I started seeing a few friends posting about them working on their own journey with Beachbody programs at home, I finally asked one of them about what she was doing. I signed up the next day with the 21 Day Fix, but my friend sent me PiYo to start with until my program came. I loved everything about PiYo and Shakeology!!! 

Now I'm doing Hammer & Chisel and I freaking love it so much!!! I feel amazing!!!! PiYo really helped me to slim and get my flexibility back. With Hammer & Chisel, I see every result! It's an amazing program! The whole system with Shakeology and the programs is perfect for me. I've stuck with everything for 3 months straight and it's the longest I have done that I can remember.

The challenge group and accountability of having a coach really push me! Sometimes I need that push to set my good goals to make them great goals. I'm more confident in everything that I do from work, to my workouts, & absolutely in myself in my relationship with my boyfriend, and day to day I'm so much happier too!!

So as you see, this girl is on FIYA!!!! It's so amazing what these programs and challenge groups can do for you! It's hard working on your journey alone, not having support with you all the time.  But being in the challenge groups and having someone DAILY to push you just makes it all worthwhile! It gives you that push to keep moving forward every day to get closer to those ultimate goals you set!
My boys are my WHY for living this healthy lifestyle!

If you would like a chance to have 1:1 support, accountability, motivation, and tips to help you reach your fitness and health goals, please fill out the application below for a spot in my next 30 day private online fitness challenge/support group! This is your chance to get everything Jackie and I both had experience with to help us along our own journey to success!!

Hammer and Chisel Week 4 Fitness Plan

Good morning good morning its a new week and the first full week to a brand new Year 2016!!! 

Are you so excited about what is to come for your fitness journey? I know I am!! 

Every year, so many of us make New Year Resolutions and I will also say so many of us NEVER stick to them!! How long does it usually take for you to fall off with the same old healthy eating, "dieting", going to the gym, stop smoking, drinking, swearing (yup mine unfortunately :/), gambling, and more?? We just want the bad habits to go away and the good habits to come! But its almost seeming impossible to keep them up after just a few weeks!

Heres what I want to tell you.  Please do not think because I said these and you make the same resolution AGAIN, that Im telling you to let it go because it's not possible... IT IS POSSIBLE!! I want THIS year to be YOUR year!! I do not want you to have to keep going over this time and time again!! 

But the key to this whole New Years Resolution is to really focus and make "habits" out of this so you don't have to keep going back!! For instance "Im going to DIET".. GAH I hate that word!!!  If you are thinking you are just going to "DIET", then NO, you will NOT stick with it!! WHY?? Because you cannot live off of a diet, you cannot live off of never eating carbs or fats again!! Sorry if that was your plan, but I'm going to be real with you right now! Do NOT starve yourself from the nutrients your body needs just to be "skinny"... because you will end up back where you started, if not worse! I may be hitting home with some of you??? 

I'm not trying to push buttons or make you feel sad about what your doing, I am simply telling you this because again, I want this to be your year of lots of success and happiness and freedom, and I want to help YOU get there without putting stress on your body, ruining your body, and putting your body in jail.. The solution to this is simple:

Make it a LIFESTYLE!! YES!!!! That's it!! Its that easy!! Did you know if you follow the 80/20 rule, have a cheat meal 1 time a week and just eat HEALTHY the rest of the week, add 30 minute workouts (you can even do these at home and I can show you how- See application at bottom), you can get the results you want without feeling like your neglecting your body and health!!

I cannot tell you how much my life has changed by skipping the diets, starving myself, and just did the right things that may be hard to do at first, but afterwards will make you feel and look amazing!!

So now I am going to show you what I do!! Get ready!!

So when I said about working out at home, yes, that is exactly what I do!! Being a momma of 2 boys ages 3 and 4, it gets complicated making it to the gym for the 2 hours morning or afternoon that they are available, plus driving back and forth, plus the good old gym membership.. yea you get me right?? If I have the opportunity to roll out of bed while boys are still sleeping, I can get a 30 minute workout in which is the time it would take me to drive back and forth to the gym, and just get it done without hassle! 

The program I am doing right now is called Hammer and Chisel! It's possibly my FAVORITE home fitness program I have EVER done!!! I did love going to the gym, its just not always convenient, so I get the gym type environment in this program, along with:
  •  A schedule to follow so I know exactly what Im doing
  • A nutrition plan telling me how many containers of what I need to get all my nutrients in per day
  • Color coded containers for each food group- You'd be surprised what you can fit in these bad boys!
  • A month supply (30 day) of Shakeology which is our health shake meal replacement that will give you all the superfoods and dense nutrients your body isn't getting from your typical every day foods (unless you juice with a million veggies and vitamins which by that time your spending $600) :P
  • And when you sign up with ME, you get ME as your coach (I have one too still)
  • Access to an online support group/challenge group for daily tips, recipes, motivation, and surrounding yourself around others with similar goals! 
How cool is that???!?! Pretty awesome to me!! Again, I've started my journey doing this 3 years ago, and here I am today still doing it, rocking different programs, staying on top of my nutrition, and feeling amazing!

Here is what I have planned for this week! Now I will be traveling from Thursday until Sunday, so I will still pack my cooler with lots of healthy foods and snacks so I stay on track!!


Deidra Penrose, Hammer and Chisel meal plan, healthy grocery shopping on a budget, healthy new mom, mom fitness, accountabilty, fitness motivation, getting fit, women building muscle, Shakeology, New Year Resolutions,successful  beachbody coach PA, diamond beachbody coach, fitness journey, fitness transformation, clean eating tips, mom weight loss

How do you like that?? My recipes such as Spaghetti Squash Chicken Alfredo, and Greek Salad are here on my blog under clean eating recipes!!  
And I even added my grocery list for ya!! Trying to make it sweet and simple! Simple nutrition is sometimes best so your saving time prepping the food and money buying the food!

You will see I do drink my Shakeology more than once a day sometimes, and this is because I will be traveling, instead of my buying fast food, its just healthier and easier this way! Its also my sweet tooth craving! :)

My workout plan is as follows:
MONDAY- CHISEL BALANCE
TUESDAY- MAX HAMMER STRENGTH
WEDNESDAY- CHISEL CARDIO AND GLUTES
THURSDAY- OFF DAY (YAY)
FRIDAY- ISO SPEED HAMMER
SATURDAY- CHISEL AGILITY
SUNDAY- HAMMER POWER AND 10 MIN ABS

So there you have it!! The workouts again like I said, its like you at a gym, I use dumbbells, a bench or stability ball, a pull up bar or band with over the door extension (you can buy at walmart or target), and boom, your ready for amazing results!!!

If you would like more information on getting started in my 30 day fitness challenge/support group online (held in a private group on Facebook), please fill out the application below for a spot! I will contact you within 24 hours.

Hammer and Chisel Beachbody Journey Progress

Although I may have checked out this week from posting here, I have not checked out with my fitness and health journey! I am getting ready to start up week 4 with Hammer and Chisel and Im pretty pumped!!! I have come a long way from week 1 to week 3!!
5 pound weight loss, but lots of other changes other than the scale!!

WEEK 3
WEEK 1 



So just to back track a little, I got all my workouts in, but there was a day I missed so the next day I got A double in!! Food has been great other than a couple cheats maybe 1 or 2 more than anticipated, but hey, Im making progress over Christmas so I'm doing something right!!

One thing I am so proud of is that my boys are showing that my healthy habits are showing through my kids and the choices they pick for lunch for school!! Look how awesome this is!! One proud mama right here!
Along with packing healthy snacks for my boys, I also do some meal prepping for myself which is how I plan myself for success on my fitness journey!  Sundays or Mondays I will make my meal plan and prep my food so its all ready for the week! Today was my day to prep and get ready for WEEK 4!



I do 1 cheat meal a week just to give myself a little freedom.  If I feel like I am tied down to certain food without a little something, my body will go crazy and I will binge.. that is just me.  I know my body and learned to listen to my body! 

Now, for my workout routine for the week:
Monday: Chisel Balance
Tuesday: Max Hammer Power
Wed: Chisel Cardio and 15 min Glutes
Thurs: OFF DAY
Friday: Hammer build up and 15 min Leg Hammer
Sat: Chisel Agility
Sun: Hammer Power and 10 min Ab Hammer

Now, for my mental game plan.. not just for the day, but for the week:

Yea, you got it.. this is not just about eating and working out.. this is about being mentally ready and prepared also!! We all have "things" in our lives that cause us stress and sometimes we let that stress really get the best of us to the point that we totally end up falling off in every aspect.  

There is 1 thing that we can do to keep ourselves together no matter what situation you are in... HAVE FAITH in the process!! 
Have faith, and also keep in mind WHY you are here! WHY are you on this journey to begin with? 

If you keep a strong enough WHY throughout your journey, your journey will never stop, because that reason will be strong enough to keep you going through anything!! My WHY and reason for going through my health and fitness journey is not just myself, but also my boys!! To help them see what is going to keep them healthy. strong, and live a long fulfilling life! 

Aren't they just amazing?!?
So, now that we made it through Christmas, its time to get ready for a New Year!!! Time to get our mindset right, make some goals: Physical, mental, spiritual, Financial, Career, etc!!!
The more goals you can set for yourself and write them down, the more you are making them a priority!! Also, don't forget to put a deadline on those goals to give them a sense of urgency!!! Give reasons to look at them daily and do small things every day to get yourself closer to reaching them!!

If you are making goals for your own physical and health journey and you are ready to commit to a healthy lifestyle, I am hosting a 30 Day New Years Fit Resolution Challenge that will provide you with daily tips, recipes, support, motivation, and a chance to get in the best shape of your life! More importantly, my goal is for you to NOT be like the 80% of the population that stops after 3 weeks, this is to help you form good habits so you can turn this journey into a lifestyle of your own and to share with your friends and family!

Please fill out the application below for a spot in my Jan 4th Fitness Group! Spaces are limited and I am only accepting NEW challengers who do NOT already have a Beachbody coach working with them!

3 Day Refresh Results

Sometimes you need a little boost and jump start with your nutrition!! I know its easy to get a little too many cheat meals in, you just feel "blah" and need a new fresh start! So I am right with you!! I needed that something to get me started on the right track again.. I wasn't doing horrible, but I am going to be starting a brand new program Hammer and Chisel so this is my prep for a fresh start.. I completed our 3 Day Refresh, or 3 day cleanse!

WHY the 3 Day Refresh?
3 Days of eating tons of veggies, and incorporating Vanilla Refresh Shakes and A Fiber Sweep supplement!

Vanilla Refresh Shake:
This is a high protein vanilla shake made from plant based protein and what I love so much about it is  the fact that is has 
  • 22 essential amino acids and minerals
  • probiotics to help promote digestive and immune health
  • includes potato protein to help curb hunger 
  • no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or sweeteners 
Fiber Sweep Drink:
This fiber drink has a blend of soluble and insoluble fibers, and naturally eliminates waste from your digestive system, while supporting healthy intestinal flora.  
  • It is created from whole-ground flax, chia, and psyllium seed husks
  • Psyllium fiber helps lower cholesterol naturally and supports healthy blood sugar levels 
  • Psyllium fiber husks may reduce risk of coronary heart disease
  • Flax and Chia are sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids
Can you exercise during the 3 Day Refresh?
Yes, but it is recommended that you do a mild to moderate type of exercise during these 3 days.

This is a perfect opportunity for you to kickstart your healthy lifestyle and make a clean break from unhealthy habits or a "tune up" to prevent from hitting a plateau.

If you are wanting to break those unhealthy habits and start your journey to healthier habits and lifestyle, please fill out the application below for 1:1 coaching by me, along with a chance to enter my fitness support group where I work with you daily with your fitness and nutrition to help you reach your ultimate goals!

As the past 30 days have gone by, I am excited to share with people that you do NOT have to run miles until your legs fall off to be in shape and be tone!  So many people think its cardio cardio cardio, and not eating calories or carbs.. I PROMISE you, I have eating between 1800-2000 calories daily, minimal cardio, lifting heavy, and getting results!! 

I feel like they could be a bit better since I knew I had a few more cheats than I should've, but hey, progress is progress!!! Gotta be happy with that right?!? :)

It was a great feeling to wake up, and just feel different, not so much on the outside, but from inside and my energy since day 1 of starting this program.  I will say I have had less sleep than I have in a while, so for me to still have energy is pretty darn good!!

October FITNESS CHALLENGE- Get FIT in just 21 DAYS!

21 Days is all it takes... Yes, I said it!! 
Will you give that to me and let me help you?!

I am looking for men, women, mommies, people who are ready to commit to a new healthy lifestyle change!! I know losing weight is not easy, whether its 50 pounds, or even when you are trying to lose those last 10 stingy pounds that seems like will NEVER get off! 

So I am here to help YOU finally reach that goal!

What do most people struggle with when it comes to their health and fitness goals?

  • Enough time to make it to the gym
  • Time to have healthy food available
  • Commitment because you may not have the support at home (or have anyone who really needs to lose weight or does not have goals they need to reach)
  • Nutrition- YUP, a biggie! We are emotional and binge eaters (YES, I can admit to that too!) 
One thing I have learned in my time as a personal trainer and now a full time online health and fitness coach is that support groups give you EVERYTHING YOU NEED (at least in mine ;P) 

What is so important about great about these Support Groups/Challenge Groups?
  • You get me as your mentor DAILY
  • You get DAILY motivation and accountability
  • You get support from myself AND the other challengers in the group that have similar goals as you
  • You get daily recipes, nutrition, or fitness tips
  • You get tips and ideas on meal prepping to save you time during that busy schedule of yours (don't worry, we all know about it, we all are busy too, but we all have the same 24 hours in the day!) It's all about make the most use out of those 24 hours we have to help us get closer to our goals
  • THIS is where you find results!! The key to success and happiness as you go through your journey and find what works for you, getting into good healthy habits and making it a lifestyle!
NOW... how in just 21 DAYS?!?

Ever heard of the 21 Day FIX?!
or 

Depending on what intensity level you like your exercise, the 21 Day FIX is a beginner to intermediate program, whereas the 21 Day FIX EXTREME is for intermediate to advanced level of fitness.  

Both programs come with 30 minute workouts daily, a variety of exercises from cardio, weight training focusing on certain muscle groups, plyos, yoga, and pilates!  Yup, you get it all!  What I love about this so much is you are constantly tricking your body and increasing your metabolism and preventing your body from plateauing, which happens often when you are doing the same repetitive movements with exercise like certain weight training moves, or running on the treadmill. 

NUTRITION- 
Who does't struggle with portion control?!? Nutrition is 80% of your results, whether you are trying to lose weight, tone, or build muscle... it is necessary to fuel your body with the proper foods and nutrients.

Why I love the 21 DAY FIX and FIX EXTREME is because both programs are centered around portion control! You get containers that are color coated and each color will be the correct portion size you need of that food group.  
When you receive your book, you will calculate your recommended caloric intake and then it will tell you how many of which containers you need per day! That simple!! Simple can be successful!

One meal that I have found extremely helpful in my own fitness journey that I have incorporated since day 1 of my journey, is SHAKEOLOGY.  This is 1 meal, I know I am getting all my dense nutrition and superfoods that normal food I eat on a typical day does not give me.. I can eat all the spinach and juice as much as I want, but I still am not getting all the whole foods, vitamins, minerals, and health benefits that SHAKEOLOGY is giving me.  

Shakeology has a great protein to carb ratio, which means this is NOT a weight loss shake or diet shake... I do not believe in those.. those are temporary fixes, this has exactly what you need to keep you full longer because you are satisfying your body and fueling your body so you will not be hungry right after you drink your shake (or eat-- lots of yummy recipes you can make with it!).

Hopefully, you have some humor and will think this is as funny as I did, but this is Tony Horton, one of the creators of some of our home fitness programs such as P90 and P90X! This just comes to show what you are really getting in our health shakes and why they are of such high quality!


I am now recruiting NEW challengers who are serious about their health and fitness journey.... Men, women, mommies, who are ready to live a life of happiness, confidence, and fulfillment!

BODY BEAST Fitness Journey- New Beginnings!

As a pretty in shape momma and fitness competitor, I have a good idea of what my body needs to maintain and even prep for show time.... but I think its time to change things up a bit and see what else my body is capable of doing! As I prepped for my last 2 Figure competitions, I incorporated BODY BEAST, 21 DAY FIX EXTREME, and INSANITY MAX 30 into my regimen, along with clean eating and drinking SHAKEOLOGY once a day to get my dense nutrition that my body is not getting from our typical every day foods.

I know people think eating our fruits and veggies are just enough, but if you think about how our crops are grown, our soil is not up to par! We lack vitamins and minerals, and when I am drinking Shakeology, it gives me everything, and more! The nutrients are picked from other countries where the soil is best for crops to grow, along with more superfoods, digestive enzymes, pre and pro-biotics, and more! I know if I get too in depth, I may loose people, so Ill keep it simple saying this keeps me up to par with my nutrients and health! 

So back to workouts... I always do a variety and its hard to say I have a complete transformation of one fitness program, but I want to not only see what one program can do for me, but also show others what they can do by following a specific program as well!!  I love the gym, but sometimes I just can not go.. The daycare at the YMCA is only during a certain time, which is when I'm with my kids or after they are done with daycare when its dinner time... So instead of messing up everyone's schedule, I can easily fit my home workouts in my schedule, save time, money, and STILL get amazing results!

So it's time to focus in one 1 program.... My new focus.... BODY BEAST!  Yup, I'm going straight up BEAST MODE on ya!! :) 

What better day to start than Labor Day right?! 

Honestly, the parties and get togethers do not bother me.. I have come to realize with my emotional eating and binging that those types of food does not help me get to my goal.. and yesterday my neighbor had a party and I couldn't even eat all the food because it does not taste as good as it use too! SCORE for me!!!

I want this for me.. I have a lot of stress and instead of eating my emotions, and doing nothing about it, its time to relieve my stress in a healthier manner! We always go to the easy route and unfortunately, its only temporary and then will make it even worse because your not happy emotionally or physically.  So time to have a fresh start!!

Ok so the first half of the day, I'm literally shoving food in my face lol.. healthy food at least!! So my calorie range is around 2000.  This is going to be a struggle, but I WILL make it work! It's scary to see all those calories when I am not use to intaking that much, but I have faith in the program and know if I follow it correctly, amazing results are coming my way!!! Lets do it!!

Alright I am sadly sharing my before pics.. Time for some accountability right?!?!
