My husband tells me I need to get new school and look my tournament brackets on my phone or ipad, but I like paper. I like highlighting my winners and crossing on my...
Read MoreLate last year, Angelike N.’s world shifted in almost every sense. She had a baby. Her father passed away from a sudden bout of cancer. She accepted a promotion and relocated with her husband to another state. So, when Oxygen magazine came knocking to see if she could get into peak condition for the cover of their March 2013 issue in just a month, it would have been easy for her to turn it down. Thankfully, she knew preparing for another Oxygen cover would be easier this time around because she had Isagenix®. “Before a child, I used to prep and carry my food everywhere.

Read MoreFor the past few months, I’ve been traveling for work and the holidays. My workout schedule and my eating has been all over the place. Have anyone else had the same experience?

Do you have the discipline it takes to make your dreams come true? Discipline – “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t” – Jerry Rice.

What inspires you to dream. I create a vision board every year and place it at my desk so that I can see...

That means fear of all things — workouts, eating, my career and my personal life and if I have time I may even take on my fear of snakes. I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching on the matter and I really think, it comes down to these core principles.
