Streamline Your Health
Nutrition & Recipes
Abs really are made in the kitchen. Meal planning and prepping used to freak me out, so I know what you are thinking. I take the approach to better nutrition in baby steps to help you be successful long term.
Fitness
My journey started by committing to the infamous 90 day at-home workout program, P90X®. I know one of the many programs my company has will help you get started on your journey, too.
Self Love
My main goal for you, whether you're visiting my page for one minute or stay on your journey with me for life, is to develop your self love. Self love is so important, especially for former competitive athletes and teachers that care a lot about their jobs.
Mental Wellness
Mental health is just as important, if not more important, than physical health. It’s the reason I invested in a life coach as well as a therapist in my late 20s. Follow my journey and join my team to get this same support and guidance on your mental health journey as well.
Personal Coaching
It's hard to start new goals alone, especially workout and nutrition goals. I needed my husband, Cody, as my accountability partner when I first started my journey. If you don't have a spouse or friend to rely on, that's what me and my team are here for.
Uplifting Community
Hope, Emily S., Abbey, Emily J., Haley, and Meg are just a few names you'll come to know as your best friends and mentors. I KNOW your name belongs on this list someday!

How I really felt before having a baby
I was scared of how my life would change once Michael was born..I was going to miss life just being Cody, Sonny, and myself. I was super excited when I found out I was pregnant because it was planned, but towards the end of my pregnancy, I was also mourning what our current life was like. I remember getting teary-eyed a couple of nights, laying on my pillow before falling asleep, just thinking about how different everything would be once a baby came: eating dinner, going to bed, sleeping, EVERYTHING! I was afraid the change might not be good..But change can be good. Well, really it all depends on how you define change. I guess you could also view change as bad. I think change is good though because God will always be there with you while you go through anything. God is always providing for you, too, whether you realize it now or not. And my goodness was this change of having Michael in our lives GOOD!!!.For my mommas out there: were you also scared of how your life would change once baby came?
Emotions
Do you hide your emotions behind closed doors as a teacher?.You quietly cry yourself to sleep because you’re overwhelmed with teaching.Or you cry in your car on the way home, hoping no one driving by sees you.Don’t you wish you weren’t so anxious about it all anymore!?.Imagine being able to not take what happens to you in your classroom so personally.Imagine being able to not bring work home ever again.Imagine being able to “turn it off” when you are home..This is exactly why I created my Take Control of Your Life in 2021 Launch Group, so you’ll get me as your coach to help you through these struggles and have a positive escape from your (important!) but taxing job. Because I’ve BEEN THERE and I know exactly what you’re going through..I have helped a handful of teachers with my coaching and community groups since I started coaching 3.5 years ago..You wonder if teaching will ever get better – it already is! You are an amazing teacher! You just need to start taking care of yourself ❤️ so apply to my January group using that link in my bio!
Cheers!
CHEERS to two more weeks until Christmas 🎄.I’ve never been one to ask for much…my list consisted of an electric toothbrush and nursing sweaters 😂. So Cody usually has to think outside the box and get me something I didn’t ask for. He’s always been very talented at gift giving..What are you asking for for Christmas this year? 🎁
Don’t complicate things
Don’t have time to cook complicated recipes?.Me neither! Over here at the Husak household, we keep things simple and easy. I might be a stay-at-home mom but I have never liked cooking for a long time. If we do, it’s something that can be left in the crock pot, on the stove, or in the oven without me paying attention to it..Some tips for easy, fast, healthy cooking:.✅ frozen veggies are your friend, especially the ones you can steam in the bag in the microwave! Cody and I always split one of these for dinner. Cody likes his plain and I just add a little butter, salt, & pepper to mine.✅ use that crockpot thats collecting dust! Start small with something easy like roast beef.✅ meal prep your breakfasts for the week – I’ve been meaning to do this for my morning oatmeal I have with my eggs because making eggs and oatmeal every morning is a bit much 😆✅ always make more than you need for dinner – save leftovers for lunches or dinner later in the week✅ get a lot of a meat you can use multiple ways, cook it all at once, then separate in containers to […]
Scared
I’m often scared to share my journey. . I feel this way because, honestly, all of this does feel easy. Transitioning into motherhood was tough schedule-wise because I felt I was working around Michael’s schedule, but I have still been able to continue my health & fitness journey without skipping a beat once he came into our world ((of course after waiting for the ok to workout 6 weeks postpartum)). A workout might happen at 10 AM or not until 1 PM, but I just get it done. . I worry you’re thinking “oh she has it easy because she’s a stay-at-home mom….she has her husband to help watch her babe sometimes…she used to be a gymnast so she naturally likes working out…” . It’s funny I continue to battle these stories in my head about what people think of me, even though I’ve been working on my mindset for years now! When this happens, I remember the truths about these false statements: . ✅ other’s opinions of me doesn’t matter ✅ it’s not easy being a stay-at-home mom ✅ Cody really can only watch Michael when I workout on the weekends because he sleeps during the day since he works during the […]
Success Stories
Arlene has been the best coach/mentor I could ask for! For almost a year I’ve learned so much from her in order to change my lifestyle and become a much healthier and happier person. She is SO inspirational and keeps me motivated to make the best decisions for me on even my craziest and most stressful days. I’m incredibly thankful to have her as a coach and friend along this journey!
Arlene is the most supportive and compassionate person that I know- which makes her an amazingly inspirational coach! She is not afraid to share and is always there to listen. Arlene not only helped me physically, but has been a support for me emotionally as well. I feel lucky to call her a friend.
Arlene is absolutely amazing. She is super supportive, so encouraging, and walks with you through your journey. Her positive attitude draws you in and makes you feel super comfortable. I was able to finally finish and entire workout program, while being encouraged by her, for the first time ever. Thank you Arlene for you time,.effort, support, love, and encouragement �
It’s been fun connecting with Arlene over the past year through health and fitness. We have known each other since… middle school I think? Arlene is a great support and accountability partner. She is willing to work with you on your specific goals and meet you where you’re at on your own fitness journey. The support of her group has helped me stick with my plans to achieve my goals!
I love Arlene and how incredibly supportive she is! I have been looking for some serious accountability for a while during my fitness journey, and it’s been so hard to find! But she reached out to me and has not given up on me (even when I’m seriously slacking). She always so good about reaching out to simply see how life is going. She interested in just more than tracking my workouts, she’s into the personal side as well!
