Learn how to stop your chaos and manage your life. Here’s how!

After  Jack, (my second child) was born, reality smacked hard and fast. “Two kids… ahhhhhh!”  Being a mommy is HARD, (delicious, don’t get me wrong, but HARD.) Taking care of my self sat very low on my “Daily, To do” list. I was right above,  # 8: Get milk and toilet paper. I finally got so fed up, that I worked out a quirky little system that lets me get it all done at once.

As result, I was able to:

• Maximize  my time better
• Get a really good work out in while I multitasked
  
• got rid of my excess baby weight
  
• toned up
• got a cleaner  house
• changed my crappy eating habits
  

This site is about my own empowerment to take charge, give myself a kick in the ass, and get contol  over  my own life, not just the kids.

I’m finally (almost) organized (still working on that one, those who know me shhhh), so I can share my thoughts with you.

I leave you with my motto.

“Make the best with what ya got,  but get off your tush and actually do it!”

Live it, breathe it, own it.

cLEAN Lifestyle- Make the most out of your time. Improve your body, declutter your home, and find your “Me” time.

The day I realized I could turn my daily housecleaning routine into a great work out that could really tone my tush, arms, and tummy, bells went off in my head – CLEANING can make you LEAN! Why should I spend time and money (that I don’t have) at the gym, when I can get an intense workout doing what I’m already doing, and on my own clock?

After fine-tuning my new workout, this concept has become much more than just a workout, it’s become a wakeup call and a lifestyle change.

The cLEANmomma lifestyle has become a way to de-clutter my mind, body, soul, and yes, even my house!

What is The cLEAN Lifestyle™?

The cLEAN Routine™ is a combination of cardio and strength training exercises that allow you to multitask.

When I first started working out while cleaning my house (or doing random daily chores), I’ll admit it felt a little silly. But after doing it for a while I really noticed my body getting toned in a way that going to the gym and spending 45 minutes on an elliptical machine just didn’t do for me – and it’s actually fun! Setting aside 40 minutes several times a week to really workout while I worked around my house was really easy for me to commit to and easy to make the time for. That’s was half the battle. I was already doing the task – WIN-WIN!!

The cLEAN Diet™ isn’t about starving yourself to go to your high school reunion – it’s about creating good long-term eating habits that you can live with!

When it comes to your diet I really need to be clear. Changing your approach to food and really taking a look at what you shove in your mouth is what it’s all about. With the help of my experts, my eating habits have evolved to include more whole, healthy foods and MUCH less garbage. Don’t get me wrong, I still opt for the occasional burger, slice of cheesy pizza, or chocolate chips with a jar of peanut butter, but it’s all about moderation. And I feel better!

The cLEAN Mindset™ is the clarity of goals and the belief that you can achieve anything set your mind to.

Staying motivated to workout or changing eating habits are a challenge for even the strongest people. Being clear about what you want to achieve and having the will power to get there even when it’s tough are what the cLEAN Mindset is all about – in every area of your life.

At the risk  of sounding like some cheesy self-help book….It’s about training your brain to help you become the best possible you, with the knowledge and understanding that it takes time and the desire to want to do it!

What is a cLEAN Diet™?

This program is about making SMART food choices – as we all know, exercise alone will not get you all the way there…trust me.

I have to tell you, there is nothing like a glass of milk and a bag of Oreo cookies after I put my kids to sleep. However, over the years I really learned the real term “moderation”!

Stephanie Lecovin, my ultimate bff and a certified nutritionist, has had a major influence on my eating habits (and my life). Together she and I have put together a meal plan to help you start making (what we hope will become) lifelong changes in the way you think about food. Not only will you feel better, but as a result of fueling your body with quality food  (and yes, you can still have chocolate cake!) you will also shed those unwanted bulges around your thighs and tummy.

Believe me – I’m the first one to spit out the tofu salad, but with these simple lifestyle changes:

• I started to lose weight
• Since I ate more often, my appetite was under control
• I had more energy

I will be sharing my thoughts and tips on how to make life changes (while still enjoying the jar of peanut butter with chocolate chips).

The cLEAN Diet is part of the cLEAN Momma program, available on DVD, but  I’ll be continually posting FREE eating tips and recipes for you to check out.

Remember… moderation is the key, and if that doesn’t work for ya, try duct tape!

Eat to Live… Don’t Live to Eat…

(unless its chocolate.)

What Is the cLEAN Routine?

The cLEAN Momma Routine is what I call “Taskersizing”, The art of doing a task while you exercise. I mean seriously, isn’t multitasking what we do best ladies?

Being a complete maxed out mommy with fat-tushaphobia, I was determined to find a way to shove a workout into my day. Realizing the gym was not a possibility after my son jack was born, I was desperate to figure out a way to sweat, even if it meant running laps around my house while my child played around me. As I ran around the house (yes, I actually did this), I started picking up toys and cleaning gunk off my counter tops. This slowly morphed into a really effective bootcamp-style work out that really made me feel stronger and more fit.

I had found a way to save time (what time? I can barely breathe), save money (that’s another story), but most importantly, achieve a better workout that I was getting at the gym, plus I got my dishes, laundry, and floors done at the same time (not to mention the excess baby weight finally came OFF)!!

How do I do it? With the help of fitness expert Dr. Geoff Lecovin, I’ll teach you how to incorporate the exercises through out your day to day routine (that I recommend three times a week to see the full effect), as well as give you a step-by-step guide to turn this into a 45 minute sweat-your-butt-off-cLEAN Routine Bootcamp!

What if I don’t clean my house? Will this still work? If you breathe, than the answer is yes. These exercises are designed to be incorporated into basically anything – playing with your kids, brushing your teeth – you get the picture. The bottom line is this… “NO more excuses people!” You can get it all done with and have time to spare (I suggest a very hot bubble bath, tabloids and a locked door)!
