Yours Truly

Hello! My name is Marcella, but you can call me Marcie or Marc. I am an online health and fitness coach, which has turned into my passion, and I'm certified in PiYo! I also have an online Chloe and Isabel boutique. I am married to a wonderful man (and literally my BFF), Jaime, who serves in the U.S. Army. I, too, was in the Army as a Veterinarian Technician, and left after my term was up to go to college to become a Kindergarten teacher! I have no children of my own, but I do have a step-son, Blake. I LOVE (and sometimes hate) running. I find it clears my head and is a time for ME. Plus, the after-run high is fantastic. I love animals...especially horses and elephants. I would rather be outdoors than inside, I'm a vegetarian, my favorite color depends on my mood. I wanted to create this blog to share with you my health and fitness journey and to hopefully provide support and motivation for you to not give up, and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse. (Yes, I just quoted Eminem ‘Till I Collapse. That song is great motivation just FYI) I love helping people and making them feel happy, healthy, and CONFIDENT! My motto is "sweat you hear out" (meaning give EVERYTHING you have and be in the moment during your workouts) "fuel you body" (eating CLEAN isn't a diet...it's a lifestyle, and you need to treat your body right for it to function properly) and "love your soul" (don't ever compare yourself to ANYONE. You are your OWN person. Love who you are and treat yourself right. You are unique :) ) A little health and fitness background: Whether I was playing sports, taking classes at my local gym, or participating in all sorts of running events, I have always been an active person. Between that and my previous military career, I was always engaging in some type of physical activity. However, throughout these times I would find myself “slacking”, or taking breaks from exercising and eating healthy for weeks or even months at a time. I was so tired of having to literally start over in reaching whatever goals I had. That is when I decided to join Beachbody. Between the CHALLENGE GROUPS, the fitness programs and Shakeology, and all of my Beachbody family, I have the support I need to keep me motivated and on track because I surround myself with likeminded individuals. Since August 2014, I haven't had to start over! My daily sweat is a part of my day and eating clean is second nature... (of course I do totally enjoy my cheat meals! Oh how I love ice cream and pizza.) My first love was PiYo, which is absolutely AMAZING. Chalene Johnson is my idol! I drink Shakeology daily (the healthiest meal of the day with over 70 superfoods) and I also use E&E (energy and endurance-an all natural pre-workout.) My favorite Shakeo recipe is a toss up between very berry and choco banana pb. I have completed PiYo, 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, and a couple rounds of the 3-Day Refresh. I am currently training for a full marathon! My next challenge will be Insanity Max 30 which I will be doing with my husband... There are so many “complete solutions” to fit your life style and your goals. I'm here for YOU!
