Team Beach Body-My Transformation

One year ago, I was completely unhappy and Im not going to lie, FAT.  I was happy with my beautiful family, But inside, I felt miserable.  I was uncomfortable with my body, even in front of my husband.  Let me ask you a question.. How do you expect someone to love you if you cannot love yourself?

I had to do something, and it had to be quick.. Not a quick fix though.  I wanted to just completely change my life altogether… More like a LIFESTYLE change! I knew if I did Adkins, or even Medifast, once your done with those diets, that weight comes right back on one way or another.. You simply cannot live off that food.. Well some of it is not even real food.  I LOVE my food and did not want that taken away from me. 

So I decided one day after my cousin who is a BEACH BODY COACH contacted me to join one of her CHALLENGE GROUPS with BEACH BODY.  I was skeptical just because there are so many fad diets out there and did not have money to just blow… I mean come on, I have 2 small children both in diapers, we were building a house, I was taking Master’s classes, and working in the ER. How could I possibly afford to eat healthy right? 

I just one day decided to take a leap of faith after being so disgusted with myself and start the challenge. So I started with INSANITYand drinking SHAKEOLOGY once a day. The workouts would help increase my metabolism, and the SHAKEOLOGY would be 1 meal a day to replace full of nutrition, so that would really help me with the nutrition aspect. 

After 30 days, I was losing lbs inches, but even more importantly, I was gaining energy, losing my cravings, and my digestive system was improving! These shakes were actually making a difference, and the fact that they are so easy and convenient for me, especially when Im at work and on the go helps sooooo much!  This was such a motivation for me to keep going!  Of all the times I spent in the gym getting nowhere, I’m finally finding something that works for me!!

So here I am now,  a yr later, 40 lbs lighter, and in the best shape of my life.  I have learned from my challenge group how to eat clean, and take care of myself, along with finding the motivation in me to follow through with my goals! I have been drinking my SHAKEOLOGY

 for breakfast or snack EVERY DAY.

I now am a BEACH BODY COACH!  I hold CHALLENGE GROUPS for everyone else, to give back what was given to me… The ability to follow through and succeed.  To reach your ultimate goals, to make that lifestyle change! 

All you need to start my challenge is the need to WANT TO CHANGE.  If you want it, I will help you get there!

T25 CHALLENGE DAY 1

Day 1 of T25 :

Day 1 went awesome!! I was prepared mentally and physically and that sets me up for success!! Although I had to work a 10 hr shift, that did not stop me from getting my workout in at 4 am!! I woke up and yes, its difficult, but I also had more energy throughout the day than if I were to sleep in and rush around!

 I had all my necessities to have a great workout...

1. My water

2. My polar watch to count my calories

3. My sweat towel

4. ME and my workout!!

Off to work feeling full of energy and.... ferocious!!! HAHA

I felt full of energy the entire day and ate great!! I had my Vanilla SHAKEOLOGY for breakfast of course, Plain Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries/strawberries for snack, grilled chicken and Greek spinach salad for lunch with vinegar and oil dressing.  For my next snack was raw peppers and hummus and some edamame, and for dinner I was out at a restaurant for a retirement party, so I had Mediterranean Chicken with 1/2 serving of sweet potato fries and Greek salad.  Yes, I ate 1 piece of bread too.. My dinner could have been much better so I did not need anything else that evening, except my water!!!

Now, to hold myself accountable.. I will post my before pics and measurements!! I def need to tone my arms and legs a lot more and wouldn't mind toning my stomach a little more too!!! I always seem to hold my fat in my arms, not sure why.. BLAHHH!! So here it is.. time to keep myself motivated and accountable!!

Turbo Fire Transformation Story by STACEY!!

Transformation Story by Stacey!! 

Stacey is a customer of mine, and after getting into SHAKEOLOGY and TURBO FIRE by BEACH BODY, she decided to start coaching for the discount.. Now, she is loving her results and ready to take on the world!!  I love her story because it shows you do not lose just weight.. you gain life back!! She has made a 360 with the way she feels, especially with the disease she had that was taking over her life!! Now she has energy, no pain, digestive system is working properly, and her physical appearance is amazing!!  What SHAKEOLOGY and exercise does for people is saving money in so many ways!! No need to take multi vitamin, off medicine which nowadays costs a fortune, and less doctor visits!!! Who doesn't love that idea?!?!?

My Story:

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2011…evidently I have had this disease for 17 + years….I had gradually developed more symptoms over the years. By December 2011, I had severe headaches, numbness and tingling in my extremities, dizziness, fatigue, memory loss, and joint pain. Did I mention fatigue? I could hardly get up in the morning and would need a 3 hour nap mid day to just make it through the day. I had been on a course of antibiotics lasting 14 months with some improvments, but the side effects from those meds had me taking other medications to counteract those sid effects….for instance: I was on Flagyl…which gave me terrible refulx..so I took Protonix to counter act the refulx…which depleated my magnesium and made my face twitch and gave me palpitations…so I had to take magnesium supplements which gave me diarrhea (TMI)…so then I had to take all these fiber blends and antidiarrhea meds…oh my…..it was awful. I had borderline high blood pressure from everything. The doctor was going to start me on a pill for that next.   My doctor had me taking a ton of herbal supplements and reccomended I go on a “zero –fat” diet. Um. Okay? My doctor is not…NOT an nutritional genius. I had had enough!! I explained that we need fat for various reasons, and took it upon myself to conquer this disease through diet and exercise.

I had been reading about clean eating and came across shakeology. I was amazed at the ingredients listed and the powerful healing effects most of them bragged to accomplish. I saw a few posts on Facebook by Deidra Penrose about shakeology, and I thought, “hmm, I know her, will order it through her…but she better not bother me…or harass me ….or try to sell me anything more.” (haha) She harassed me very slyly. I didn’t even realize she was doing it. She sent me recipes, meal plans, etc. Then she asked if I wanted to join a 90 day challenge group. Sure….what did I have to lose? Soon, she had me signing up as a coach as well.

I submersed myself in researching clean eating, and religiously did my workouts. I did not miss any in 90 days. The most amazing thing was how I felt just 30 days after drinking shakeology. My once pain-ridden hands/wrists that could not support my body weight, could now do 30 push ups. I stopped napping. By the end of 90 days, I visited my doctor again. I had lost 10.5 lbs during the challenge… 17 lbs since he saw me last. My blood pressure was normal. My labwork was “astounding” (in his words). I lost 25 inches. He stopped all my medications! He told me to keep up the good work and then asked how he could get shakeology! Hmmmm? I am virtually pain free and have very little side effects from the disease. I hope to be a light in the dark world of Lyme Disease. I love shakeology and I love beach body!

Be Healthy With Your Kids While Spending Quality Time!!

Many people say, " I cannot be healthy because I do not have time." or "I work all day and when I finally get a chance to get home, I only want to spend it with them." Here is the thing... if you want something bad enough, you will work for it... end of story.  I have been there, done that. I used up every excuse I could throw out there.  Until I found a way to make it work!! What is wrong with playing with your kids while getting your workout, but both of you enjoying the time spent and getting a good laugh?!? If you can find something wrong with that, please let me know!!  I adore my children, but I also work as a nurse and as a Beach Body Coach, so my time is precious with my kids, but I also realize I need to be healthy so I can live a long life and be around for my children as long as possible! Today, while I felt like I needed to workout , but also wanted to spend time with my son, I came up with ways to do both!!

You may think it is silly, but I killed two birds with one stone!!  We had a blast doing it too!!!

I worked out my biceps....

 15 reps x 3 sets does the trick!!

I work out my Quads while also getting my biceps!!!

 I even work out my shoulders!! Yep.. Delts and Triceps too!!

How bout a little push ups to finish off a good workout?!?!

Make it harder and hold one arm and one leg out!! It's all on what you make it!!

He is having WAYYY to much fun with this!!

So this is my life as a MOMMY and a BEACH BODY COACH!! I love my family, but I also love being healthy!!

This is no temporary diet where you are done with my challenge and go back to your old ways... This is a life style change where it improves your overall health and adds years to your life!!

My way of getting my customers to get the best results is to run challenge groups!! I will be starting one July 15^th where you get me as your coach to help you one on one to help you reach your ultimate goals!!

Certified Insanity Instructor!!

Insanity Certified!!

Ok, now I’m catching up.. Last week was a great week.  I took a little road trip to Pittsburgh and got certified as an INSANITY INSTRUCTOR!! I have been working out to Insanity off and on now since my after my first son was born… That was over 2 years ago.  So having done the workout several times, I felt as a BEACH BODY COACH, it is time to instruct others on living the healthy lifestyle and giving people a great challenge to their work out!  INSANITY is the perfect workout for a challenge!!

It is always fun to have a partner along with your journey and I had the opportunity to get certified with my success club partner!! Alyssa and I started just around the same time as BEACH BODY COACHES and have become DIAMOND coaches together!! We are a great team and have awesome memories already as success partners!!

After our workout, we had an awesome dinner with our coach who built the DREAM TEAM (and proud to say my cousin :)) and another Diamond coach on our team/friend and had a wonderful time catching up, learning more information, and relaxing!! Its all about having fun and making your business what you want! Being your own boss has so many benefits and I will say having nice relaxing dinners with the girls is a great perk to my career!!

I am so excited to have the opportunity to help others using the INSANITY work out to help them reach their health and fitness goals!! It will definitely be a challenge for myself with the moves and talking at the same time, but will come with experience and multiple re runs!! I will be searching around the Chambersburg area for a gym to instruct INSANITY at so I will keep you updated!! Until then, I will still of course have FIT club every Wednesday at 6:00 pm at Fayetteville Fire Hall!! If you would like to join me in a workout, message me via email @ deidra.penrose@yahoo.com or via facebook!! Looking forward to helping others achieve their fitness goals!!
