I love Beachbody!!!!!

Ah. So much to say and so much to do. I am far from perfect and far from the best at what I do. It amazes me though that introducing others to Beachbody is what I would love to do. Watching people change their lives and getting happy, healthy, and wanting more. Beachbody knows what it is and what people want and keeps giving it to us. Seriously great. I also love that the people whom I know, whom I have introduced it to are noticing the changed and how it is helping them. It is amazing. I am so happy. Beachbody is a life changing business. I love it and I love helping people see themselves changing and becoming happier.

Now I had mentioned that I am not perfect. In fact I am addicted to unhealthy foods, and I am a stress eater. Lately I have been extremely stressed which has lead to over indulging.  I need to fix it. I need to leave the stress behind and keep up to my goals. This is what Beachbody is for. I love the fact that I can just tell everyone my problems and they understand and they don't judge.  The people and the company care about each individual. They care about your goals, they care about WHY you want to change. Your why is so important because you're why is what pushes you. Your why is what keep you going. Your why is why you get started in the first place. Everyone has one, everyone works hard because of it.

Whatever you do don't give up. I have learned that. You may have a hard time with different aspects during your journey but do not ever give up. A journey is filled with both ups and downs just keep pushing through and you will get there! Just have faith in yourself and use the products provided!

Beachbody also provides so much to its coaches and customers. They reward people for being healthy and for helping others. What other company does that? Free vacatiPons, free shirts, free stuff! Everyone likes free stuff! I know I do. It is awesome to see how much they care for people. I will always stand by Beachbody products and stand by the company.

Speaking of free, many of the coaches just got back from an all expense paid cruise. That is right. Beachbody took over a whole cruise ship. It looked amazing. They got to workout with celebrity trainers such as Shaun T, Tony Horton, Autumn Calabrese, and all their workout buddies from the workouts such as Insanity, 21 Day Fix, T25, and P90X3. The only things they had to pay for is whatever they wanted to buy from shops, or on the different islands they visited, souvenirs. It looked like so much fun and I was so jealous! So I have signed up for a waiting list for the next one. Yes a waiting list. Funny huh. This is how Beachbody  rewards us! By giving us free stuff! I love Beachbody!

I love Beachbody. It has changed my life in so many ways.

So as I got stuck at work tonight. I am sitting here, looking at pictures, thinking to myself exactly why I love Beachbody. What is it that makes me keep going, why do I have so much faith in this company? What does it do for me and why am I still using their products? What about Beachbody keeps me coming back? There is so much to put. There is so much to explain. Beachbody cares, Beachbody is a family. There are so many people who have your back. Not just coaches but other people who are on a journey. There is a whole family of people. These people build bonds and friendships that last forever. They stick together and back each other 100%. This is what Beachbody is about. Friendships, people pushing each other to reach their goals, and people believing in themselves. Beachbody just offers the products to connect these people. That is all Beachbody does.

I am so happy that I had found my coach. Without her I would still probably be in my plateau. I would probably still be working out 2.5 hours a day and not seeing any results or getting anywhere. When I started following my coach, I watched her for months. I watched and waited and saw how she loved what she did. I saw all the people who love what she did, I saw all the transformation pictures and well I decided that it was time to have my own. I am so happy that I did, that is the day that I changed my life for good. My coach didn't pressure, she didnt tell me this what I had to do she simply encouraged me. When I bought my first challenge pack I was automatically hooked. Not long after I had signed up to be a coach. At first it was for the discount but I loved the products so much I wanted everyone to know about them. Shakeology is amazing. It makes me feel so much alive and like I can conquer the world. My energy levels were through the rough, my metabolism was too! I wasnt as depressed as normal and also did not have depressive episodes like I had before. My first challenge pack was Focus T25. Shaun T kicked my ass for those whole 10 weeks. I lost 30lbs with one round of T25.

Yes. Results are amazing. I encourage everyone to try this program out. For me it was perfect I worked so much and this gave me short workouts. 25 minutes a day. I made it work =).  Shakeology and Focus T25 were amazing for me. I have come to believe it was the same for others as lately Beachbody has released programs that are 30 minutes or less. The first one P90X3, this program I did not do yet. It is on my list but I will, and the program that I am doing now, The 21 Day Fix. When Beachbody started promoting the 21 Day Fix, it seemed so unbelievable. Seriously? A program built to help people with portion sizes and eating healthy all while drinking Shakeology and giving you 30 minute daily workouts. A program that is geared on 21 Days to help you build a habit.

Do you see these results? Do they even look believable? Well yea they didnt to me either. I was a huge skeptic. I was like no way. This would never work. This is a lie. Even though I had been watching my upline coach and seeing her amazing results I just didnt believe it. Beachbody then released another photo!

Mega unbelievable huh? Well you are so wrong! This is real and this does happen. It did happen and this man is still working. His life is completely changed! He is healthier, happier, and now has a new outlook on life. I couldn't wait to purchase it. I wanted a transformation. I had been working at building a new me. This program would help with this. The day this program was released, it broke record sales! The next day it was sold out. WHAT! SOLD OUT! What happened? So many people were interested in this! so many people wanted this program because they, wanted a change to, they believed in Beachbody and themselves. Luckily I was one of the lucky ones who made it before the cut off time and was able to get my program sent to me. YES. That made me happy. That made me jump with joy! I received my program and I went over it. There was a calculation to figure out how many of each portion that you needed a day. Let me tell you. A lot us believed we would go hungry. When you saw the containers it was like wow, how am I supposed to survive off these little things. BUT. It is all about the food you put into them. Each portion control is a group of foods. Let me tell you the foods you eat make you full. When you are getting the correct portion of each group you are satisfied. Seriously. So eating correctly and doing the daily workouts gave me amazing results. Yes I said it AMAZING. Results.  In 9 days and this is the results that I had:

Yup! Outstanding! Crazy! and Perfect! Just admire those results! I know that I do. This program is going to change not only my life but so many others and all you have to do is follow it. I mean these are reults with some cheating too! So yeah! Wow. I will never ever ever doubt Beachbody. I will be with them forever. Seriously.AWESOME. lol  This is amazing I am so happy. I have a wedding in a little over a year. I have a goal to be 4 sizes smaller by time I need to try on wedding dresses. This program is going to help me do just that. I will be also using other Beachbody programs until them. I am ready to have the body and life I wanted. So what do my Before Beachbody and current Beachbody pictures look like next to eachother?

What do you think? Great huh? I know I do. =) I know I am excited to see future pictures, and to see my end  results. I honestly will always workout, and always drink Shakeology so there will never be an end. I will always keep going. I will always keep using Beachbody products and encourage others to believe in themselves and give it a try. That is what this is about. I am changing and others are too. 

Change is right. I am changing. I am not only changing on the outside but also in the inside. Yes my looks are changing. I have heard so much that I was going to become stuck up and so many other things. All I could say is no. I am going to become happy with myself. What is wrong with having confidence and holding your head high and being proud for your accomplishments? I see nothing wrong with that. I have worked so hard to get to where I am right now and I will never let anyone get in my way. I will keep pushing for change until I am happy, until I am complete within myself. I wont let anyone stand in my way when it comes to my goals. Neither should you.

With this new me is a coach. It is someone who you can count on, someone you can ask for advice, and someone who will help you through your problems. If I dont know the answer i will find it out.  Come join me and let's change our lives together!

Day to Day

Well it has been awhile since my last blog post and I thought an update would be fitting. Life is crazy. Everyone has a crazy life and sometimes it is just difficult to keep up with things that need to be done. Between school, work, coaching, and everything else I do I lost myself. I lost track of my goals and let myself go. YES this is normal. YES this does happen. Everyone loses track of their goals. This is why I write blogs, this is why I coach. I wouldn't be human if I stayed on track 24/7.

Things were going good. I started the 21 Day Fix Monday 2/17. I worked out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Healthy eating also. Then Friday came. Yep Friday, The weekend. I felt so rushed that I forgot to workout, didnt eat right. Hell I only ate once a day. If it wasnt for Shakeology being my second meal I wouldn't have nearly what I needed in my system to keep going. I know that isn't healthy. I know that I need to get food into my body to nourish myself to reach my goals in the timely fashion that I want. I need to continue to push myself and reach forward to my goals.

Weight-loss and the journey to being healthy is a day to day obstacle. I struggle the biggest with healthy eating. That is why I am so baffled as to why I haven't been exercising. I love to exercise. This morning I cut it and I put my workout clothes on and got it done. I felt amazing after. Today I have ate healthy all day. I am hoping to be strong and to keep up with it.

The 21 Day Fix is so key to this. It gives me meal ideas, it gives me portion sizes. It is honestly what I need. All I need to do is stick to it and keep my head up. Temptation is the hardest part. I will be going to Dave and Busters this weekend. That is going to be extreme temptation. I am however already planning out my meals. I am going to put my containers in my purse and measure out everything.  Being prepared is what is going to save me! I know it is. In the first 4 days of the Fix I lost 5lbs and I was even bloated at the time! AMAZING! I will keep up with it and I will stick to it.

My ambition is not only to be healthy for myself but to be healthy for all of you! Being a coach is a very important priority to me. I am here for all of you to see me accomplish my goals. I am here to help you accomplish your goals! I have faith not only in myself but in each and every one of you. So let's pick ourselves up, lets be strong, and lets move forward and get working on us!

What is being a coach and Why is it beneficial?

Being a coach is so more than what it seems.  You don't have to be in the best shape of your life, you don't have to know everything, all you have to do is try and to put your best food forward and want to help people. I decided to be a coach in October. My coach had asked me and I didn't believe I was coach material at all. I mean look at me. I am no where near my goal, I have a lot of work to do to get there, I am not perfect at all. What made me perfect was I was sharing my results and encouraging people that they could do whatever they put their mind to. I was showing others that it is possible to get to your goals and it is possible to lose 100+ lbs. It is possible to help others see that they are worth their effort and their needs and wants are important.

I started my weight loss journey long ago. My biggest issue is food. I have a problem twith overeating and with eating healthy. Everything that is not good for you I am known for loving. Being a coach helps keep me on track, knowing others are looking up to me and wanting me for guidance keeps me pushing forward. When my coach told me I was perfect for being a coach and should try it out, I was extremely hesitant. Hell I was nervous. How am I supposed to help others without even knowing how to help myself. My coach told me to just sign up and the rest would take care of itself. I was showing my photos, I was encouraging others and really that is all it takes to be a coach. All you have to do is want to help others!

I have always helped others. I work in healthcare and I am one of the few who actually enjoys my job and doesn't complain or hate it. I love my job, I love helping others. Coaching isn't about who has the most, or who can do this or do that. Coaching is about who I can help, and who I can influence to make the changes they actually want in their lives. Do you like and want to help others? If so coaching is for you! In no way do you need to perfect. All you need to do is try.

One common misconception is that coaching is a get rich scheme. That is a lie. A BIG LIE. Can you make a living off of it, sure you can but it takes time. It does not happen overnight and it isn't an  automatic guarantee.I have been doing FREE coaching since October. I did not sell anything at all. I hosted free monthly challenge groups and helped people get up and get moving. I have helped a lot of people and that is what is important to me. In order to make money in this business you have to prove to others that you want to help them, that you believe in the products, and that you are always going to be there. People need to know that you will be there for them and that you won't give up on them. I will never give up on anyone.

Coaching is very beneficial to the coach also. Why? To me it brings me joy knowing I am helping someone. To hear their stories of success and know when they say thank you for helping them, that gives me a sense of personal accomplishment. Another reason coaching is beneficial to the coach is because they are a support system. they may not know it but they are. Being a coach you get to talk about your personal difficulties and accomplishments, which in turn, helps others. It is a win-win situation.

Why Shakeology?

Lately I have been being asked Why Shakeology? What does it do? It is just a protein shake. I cant afford it. Sometimes I want to be like WHAT WHAT WHAT!!!!

1.) Shakeology is not a protein shake. Shakeology is much and I mean much more than that. Yes, Shakeology has protein in it. Shakeology also has 70+ Superfoods to help improve your health in many different ways. The superfoods in Shakeology have been known to improve your digestive system, improve metabolism, regulate your bowel movements, regulate your blood pressure, regulate diabetes and the list just goes on.

just go down the list are read, That is all it takes. This product isnt just a shake. It is a change of life. IT IS A LIFE IMPROVEMENT.

2.) Shakeology is not like anything else on the market. All these protein powders are only protein powders. Shakeology includes superfoods to help make you healthier. Comparing Shakeology to other "meal replacements"  is wrong. It is nothing and I mean nothing like anything on the market right now. This is not a weight loss shake, this is a health shake. Almost everything you find out is aimed at losing weight, building muscle, ect. Shakeology is aimed at making you healthy.

Like I said Shakeology is like nothing out on the market today.

3.) So everyone is complaining about the price. Honestly if you replace Shakeology with one meal a day, it evens itself out in the grocery store. One thing that upsets me is that people refuse to give up things hurting them to improve their health. Let's say you eat out breakfast daily or get a cup of coffee. That money spent on eating breakfast, fast food, or coffee could be used to buy Shakeology. Yes that is right. Shakeology is great for breakfast so there is the breakfast money or Shakeology can be drank at lunch time instead of driving through that drive through. How much money do you spend on coffee? You could make that coffee at home and put the money you would have spent into a fund for Shakeology. If your health is important to you, you will give up things to get Shakeology.

Yeah. What one looks like it is the best deal? OBVIOUSLY SHAKEOLOGY. 

Ever since I have started drinking Shakeology I have felt so much better both mentally and physically. Before Shakeology I was severely depressed daily. Shakeology helped boost my confidence in myself. Shakeology also boosted my metabolism and after being in a plateau for 9 months I began losing weight again. My body is regular. I feel healthier. Oh yea. Not to mention I am always sick from November until March, stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, you name it I have it. This year, even in extreme cold NOTHING. I am healthy. Everyone else around me has had the flu and here I am healthy. My immune system is running better than ever before. If that isnt reason enough to try Shakeology I dont know what is.

Oh how about this, Beachbody and everyone else who drinks Shakeology is so impressed that they offer a 30 day bottom of the bag guarantee. Yes you did read that right. 30 day. Bottom of the Bag Guarantee. So what do you have to lose? NOTHING. Start drinking Shakeology today and you will love yourself and thank yourself for the rest of your long life.

If you were to buy everything in Shakeology seperatley you would be spending TOO much money. Shakeology combines all the recommended superfoods into one and gives it to you at a lower price.

What is so important about the ingredients in Shakeology?

Shakeology saved my life and made it healthier. Why not yours?

Hello There,

Whew Where do I begin. This week has been kinda rocky for me. I have so much going on its not funny. Everyday is a day I have to push myself to get going, get up, and get to work. My goals are what are important to me.Goals. I have to remember them. Yes I do. Lately I have been working for them but not fully. My eating habits have been crap ever since Thanksgiving and it has been hell trying to get back into the groove of eating healthy. Ah it does have it's downfalls but I know I will get the groove back eventually.

There is a new program Beachbody is releasing. It is a program aimed to help you get fit and lose weight all while helping you work on your eating habits. This program will be perfect for everyone who has a hard time with eating. The program includes different color containers that you use to help you with your portions. The recipes and daily food menus tell you what container and what foods to prepare. Awesome right? I believe so. I am also excited that this program also has daily 30 minute workouts YES 30 minutes! That is the 4th Beachbody program now with workouts that are 30 minutes or less. So this program is a program that teaches you how to eat right, with workouts, and then gives you a free coach and family to support you through this process. YES YES YES. Oh I cant wait! This program is known as the 21 Day Fix. It is called the 21 Day Fix because it is 21 Days long. I believed the program was names because it takes 21 days to make a habit and it  wants to help form habits that are good. Do you have to quit after 21 days? NO NO NO. Keep going and keep up with your habit. We got this. We can do this.

what a wonderful deal and program. I know I am excited for this to be released. It is at the top of my list and the results people have had are just amazing. My friend and upline coach was part of the test group for this program and her results(pictured in the image above) were amazing for 21 Days. It was great to see her meals and progress throughout this stage. Things like that make you want to move and push. It shows you that it is capable and it can happen!!!! So many amazing results. So many amazing stories. All brought together by Beachbody programs.

Amazing results with this program and I am excited to start it. I cant wait. Well lately I have doing the Les Mills Combat workout. OMG. It is a great workout and does push your limits. It leaves me breathless, sweaty, and energetic which is why I am writing such a long blog post today LOL. It is a great feeling though once your done and you feel your legs shaking and you just want more and want to improve yourself. Wow . Today I couldnt get off the floor. I had to lean up against the couch and push myself up.

Yep. I pushed myself to the limits. It felt great though. Exercising does so much for me. It pushes me to strive harder and pushes me to want more. This isn't just an outside change that I am striving for but an inside change as well. Beachbody has helped me meet so many new people both near and far. Before Beachbody I was a loner and didn't do much but work and come home. Since Beachbody I am stepping out of my shell, meeting new people, and even hanging out with people. Yea. I still like being a home body though but I am building my social life which is a good thing. I am trying to surround myself with successful people who have goals they are striving and fighting for because this is how people achieve success and I want to achieve success. Before Beachbody I had no goals, my friends had no goals, most of them no jobs and no umph to get passed waiting tables or working fast-food. I am not knocking people who do that really but to me that is not a career choice. That is an easy way out and something where you don't have to even try or want to succeed. I want to much out of life to surround myself with that. So instead I am surrounding myself with people who want more and work for it. I honestly have always been that way. I have been a workaholic and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I love working, I love helping people. Helping people. That is a joy. I do it both with Beachbody and in my career. Helping people keeps me motivated. It keeps me moving forward and wanting to never give up. When I help others I think about how their success leads to so much more. It makes them feel good and makes them feel as if they want to do more and help others too. Helping others is awesome and everyone wants to do it. You may not even know that youre helping someone. Just smiling and telling people their doing awesome is helping someone. Try it!!!! You may be able to change someones life!

So my workout shoes were horrible and I mean horrible. See the picture above! I had worn those shoes out! Holes and all. I was in search of new ones. I read my coach's blog. Yes she writes a blog. She recently purchased shoes and said that they were amazing. I mean obviously I trust her judgement too! It has gotten me this far and she hasn't steered me wrong yet. I mean watching her and the people she was helping made me want to be helped also and made me take the leap at being part of Beachbody. Well let's get back to the shoes. She recommended the Nike Flex Trainer 3's. Yes if youre working out you want Cross Training shoes. You only want running shoes for running. Cross Trainers are made for jumping, side to side movement, running, everything. They are for everything. Well I took her advice and bought them and they arrived today.

Yes that is a picture of me throwing the old ones out =). New shoes. I did my first workout with them on today. They were flexible and very comfortable. My feet did not hurt after using them. They worked perfect. It was great. I am glad I listened to her. I am glad I took her advice and used the Nike Flex Trainer 3's. My feet feel fine and I feel like I got one great workout. If you're looking for a workout shoe I highly recommend them! The first day and they worked perfect.

I am going to leave you right here. There will be more to come as I am focused on my weight-loss. We will also probably get more into my life and my wedding in posts in the future. Part of my weight loss is for my wedding and I cant wait to reach my goals! 

Keep pushing forward and don't give up. You will reach and accomplish your goals with focus and determination! 

Introducing me

You always think this will never be you. I will never do that. I will never get the chance to do that. I will never let myself get that bad. Everything that comes around people think that will never be them. That they will never be able to do what others can do. Why do we feel that way? Why do we feel as if we are not good enough to reach what we want or do the things that we want? Is it society? Is it how we are raised?

I have started this blog as a way to blog about my fitness journey, my life, my ups and downs, and what I want for my future. My life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately. Well always. In the last couple of years I have gained weight back after losing 100+ lbs., my fiance has been sent to prison, I have made friends, I have lost friends, I have gotten farther in my education and job, and just recently I have become a coach through Beachbody. Why? I wanted to help others reach their goals using products that I personally use and believe in. Whether or not they use these products I wanted to be there for them. I wanted to help them along the way.

What better way to pay it forward then to help others reach their goals also. The best part is I will be doing it with them. I am not at my health and fitness goals yet either. I am on my journey. This journey is never ending. This journey is always going to be going and will always continue to grow. How lovely. How wonderful.

Currently on my journey I have lost and gained weight. The holidays ruined me and now I am having a hard time getting back into eating healthier. That is something I am working on and will need to continue to work on throughout this process. One bad meal wont hurt you but continuously eating bad will pack on the pounds again and that is something that I definitely do not want.

I am also getting married and want to make it through that. LOL. Part of my weight-loss goal is because I want to feel and look wonderful at my wedding. I want everything to be perfect. I am already getting a bit of a bridezilla mode going on. HAHA. This is going to be fun.

So this blog is going to be a blog about my life all in one. I hope you all enjoy it and I hope it helps you with your goals seeing how I am doing with mine.
