Diamond Coach Means to Me

YAY - Finally got my Beachbody Diamond shirt today. I have been a Diamond Coach now for 6 months and I finally finished the email to receive my shirt.

To me, this is more than a T-shirt.  It represents:

Helping others feel CONFIDENT and HEALTHY

Working on ME - physically and mentally

Hard Work

Dedication

Support

A year ago, I was searching for something MORE in my life.  I was dabbling in different hobbies but none of them ever stuck (I even bought some crochet needles, opened the box, and then hid it in the closet because felt too overwhelming & haven’t taken them out since).

Than this Beachbody Coach opportunity came into my life and it filled that ‘void’ I was missing.  It has given me a HOPE for my family to pay off our debts, an AMAZING group of other coaches on the team who I consider my family, CONFIDENCE, and positivity in my life.

This shirt represents ALL of what Beachbody has done for me.  It has given me more meaning to my life & I thank God for bringing this new light into my life to fill that ‘void’.  

Pork Carnitas

This dinner was AMAZING!  My husband, father in law, and I were surprised how flavorful and tender the pork was. Makes wonderful leftovers as well too.

Ingredients:

3 lb Pork Loin
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cup water

Rub for pork
2 tbsp of chili powder
2 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of ground coriander
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp oregano

Cilantro Lime Topping
1 cup Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped

For Carnitas
Corn tortillas
Black or Pinto Beans in a can
Romaine Lettuce
Diced Tomatoes
Diced Avocado
Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions
1.  Mix spices for rub together in separate bowl.
2.  Rub and massage the rub onto entire pork loin.
3.  Place pork loin in crock pot.  Pour water into crockpot and add bay leaf.

4.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Make sure the pork doesn't absorb all the water during cooking.  Add more water if it does.
5.  Once cooked, shred the pork loin and mix with the juices in crockpot to soak in more flavor.
6.  Make Cilantro Lime Topping by mixing all ingredients in a bowl.  Set aside.
7.  Now it's time to start prepping for Carnitas! In a preheated oven of 350 degrees, place corn tortilla sprayed lightly with cooking spray on a foil lined baking sheet.  Crisp in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
8.  For the beans, drain them and add to a pot on the stove with 1/2 cup of water and cook over medium heat until heated through.  Gently mash with a fork until the beans reach your desired consistency.
9.  Time to Assemble your Carnita! Spread beans on carnita, top with pork.  Add a dollup of cilantro lime topping, sprinkle with cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce.
10.  Enjoy!

Healthy Chicken Fried Rice

This meal was AMAZING! Very flavorful and delicious. My hubby and I both went back for seconds. But be careful- this one makes a ton of food. It can be halved if needed.

Ingredients:

Olive Oil
3 cups of mixed chopped celery, carrots, onions (I did a cup of each veggie).
1 lb shredded chicken breasts
4 eggs
4 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp mustard powder
3/4 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp sea salt
Brown Rice
Soy Sauce

Directions:

1.  Cook brown rice according to directions - set aside.
2. In a large pan, warm up dash of olive oil.  Once warm, add veggies and cook until tender about 10 minutes.
3.  Once veggies are tender, add seasonings to veggies. I also added little water to help veggies absorb the seasonings.
4.  In different pan heat the eggs until they become scrambled eggs.
5.  When eggs are cooked, mix the veggies and eggs together.
6.  Add in rice and shredded chicken.  Stir.
7. Serve onto plate and top with a small serving of soy sauce.
8.  Enjoy!
