I felt like it was yesterday that I was patiently waiting for my 21 day fix to arrive at my doorstep, now I'm already into the 3rd week!! Its crazy!! So as I have my story posted here, I am going to be totally honest.. Yes, I am a fitness coach, but I am also human,.. I totally was discouraged by looking at the scale even in the first week.. I am so mad at myself for not sticking with the complete guide for a few days, but I realized how good I did feel during that first week, than how I felt not doing the fix.. I was less bloated, not hungry as much, and was able to focus on the important things like getting in my water intake and keeping myself busy activity wise, rather than always on eating! Yes, I eat all the time!! But I am by no means over weight, its just I tend to be obsessive about food.. Using the 21 day fix is really helping me with portion control and knowing when to eat! Although I took 2 days off, I was still able to use portion control, which was great! I have a feeling if I would have stuck with it I would have started to see results on the scale, but at the same time I need to realize I am at a low weight for me and my body type already.. I see my abs, I have definition, so I know there will not be a significant drop in pounds, which is why Im back at it!! I am only on day 2 of week three and feel awesome!! I think this is a great way for me and my personal issues to get over focusing on the scale because I know how good I feel without looking at that scale.. It means almost nothing anymore to me. So I will continue this journey and enjoy every minute!! I will say now that I am on week 3, there is an option to kick your workouts up and double them, which I am since I did not completely follow last week.. I have done 2 days of double workouts and I LOVE IT!!! I feel so strong and I am burning calories!!
If you have not seen or heard much about the 21 day fix, you have a nutrition guide to follow and this guide gives you color coded options for each food group.. You get the colored containers with the program to help you portion size every meal you intake! This was a meal prep day and you will notice the blue, green, red, and purple containers on the right and at the bottom of the picture.. those are the containers you get and the others are mine, but already portioned out according to each food group. 21 days of portion control and focusing of healthy eating and drinking mainly water can go a long way! What I love so much about this program is you do not only get the nutrition part, but the exercise is incorporated also! If you look at other companies with the same concept with shakes, you usually do not get regular clean eating, health shakes, and exercise together.. Many have boxed and packaged food full of soy and sodium and not from whole foods, the shakes are not natural and full of artificial sweeteners and are not even an entire meal, and most do not talk about exercise and include workouts period! With Beach body, you get the whole nine! You get what we call a long term LIFESTYLE! Something you can live off of! So back to the exercise.. I am in love with these workouts! You again, get the best of both worlds.. You get cardio, weights, pilates, and yoga! This program has amazing modifications, so whether you are a beginner or an expert, this program will work for you!
Week 3 double workout!
My 1 1/2 yr old eating raw veggies and spicy hummus! Only him!
I love that I can include my family in this too! I have my kids working out with me (they hop around but they love it), and they want to eat want mommy is eating! It doesn't get much better than that! Hummus and veggies being one of my favorite meals, you will see this is one of my meals in my meal plan for week 3!
On the last 3 days, I will be doing the 3 day quick fix, which is a very strict plan to help you get the most of your results and change your body up some! Tricking your body is one of the best ways to get off a plateau. I am still so excited to finish this week off and don't worry, I will be restarting this once again on Monday for another 21 day fix! You can do the fix up to 3 times before taking a small break from it!! This is perfect for people who are needing those quick results for vacations, weddings, etc! I am going on a cruise in less than a month, so it will be done!! If you are looking to start your fitness journey and/or wanting to get off of a plateau, this is a perfect regimen to start with! I am running a challenge group starting March 17th, yes St. Pattys Day! Do not let a holiday interfere with your long term health and fitness goals.. Sometimes we make small sacrifices to reach our long term results.. This group is in a closed group on face book where I work 1:1 with each person to help them reach their ultimate health and fitness goals! I give health and fitness tips, recipes, meal plans, support, and motivation! I am accepting 10 challengers that are willing to commit to 60 days with me that will change their life! If you are ready to commit, please fill out the application below and I will contact you within the next day. You can either take this small sacrifice now, or regret it later and suffer the consequences of not being at your goals, and not having that feeling of accomplishment that you deserve!
This is what it's all about! Small steps forward over and over until we reach new habits, new goals, and new lifestyles! Get ready for an exciting new journey!

Here is Katie.. we went to elementary school and middle school together, but never kept in touch after me moving away from the area. Although we became friends on face book, never really spoke until she saw that I was coaching and became interested with Beach body! I am so excited for Katie to share her story with you all! This is what is so special about Katie's story... Its not just weight loss.... this is where the health benefits come into play!!
My name is Katie Scuffle, and I
started my journey with SHAKEOLOGY and Beach body, in November. I had been
recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, basically meaning my metabolism wasn't
working. I would fall asleep if I sat still to long, and barely had energy to do
anything let alone workout. Normal levels are between 3 and 0.3, mine were at
15. My Dr. Got me on synthroid but I new I needed to make a lot more changes if
I was going to get better.
That's when I contacted Deidra, about shakeology. I knew that better nutrition was going to be the key to feeling
better so I started in my first challenge group to learn better eating habits.
In that first group I just focused on clean eating and SHAKEOLOGY, and by the
end of the 30 days I had lost 13 lbs, but most importantly my thyroid levels
went from a 15 to a 1.5. My Dr. was shocked at my progress, and so was I. The
second month I began to workout to BRAZIL BUTT LIFT everyday and by the
beginning of this year I was ready for a new challenges. I am now 1 month into P90X3 and lost 10 lbs 8 inches this past month. Total in the last 90 days I have
lost 35lbs and 24 inches! I am still a work in progress but I am loving the
process.
What I love most about
shakeology is how it fills nutritional gaps. I have been a vegetarian since I
was nine, so I tend to lack iron and protein. With shakeology I am finally
getting balanced nutrition. And it is quick and easy which is a major bonus
between working 2 jobs. I feel amazing now and am so happy to have my health
back.
I am so happy that Katie and I had reconnected! It was definitely a blessing not only to allow her to have an awesome transformation, but also gain a great friendship!
If you would like to get started on your own transformation, fill out the application below for a spot in my next fitness challenge group! This is a closed group on face book, where I work 1:1 with you by giving fitness and nutrition tips, recipes, motivation, and accountability to help you reach your ultimate health and fitness goals!
People are always asking me what I have done to have my weight loss transformation.. So it's time to share! I joined a Beach body challenge group right after having my second child and I was completely miserable with myself.. my energy was low, I was always tired, and I couldn't stand to look at myself in the mirror.. It's sad when you cannot even stand to be around your husband in less than pants and a long sleeve. But I knew I had to do something, or I would never be happy. So getting into this challenge was the best thing I ever did! I started with Insanity (YES STARTED LOL) and drinking Shakeology every day! Within 2 weeks, my energy was increasing, I was less bloated, and my cravings were going away! Literally, my shakes were my new "Miracle Shakes"! I have never been a veggie person, so to have all the dense nutrition my body was asking me for all this time was loving me!
The left side of the picture is me on day 1 of Insanity and Shakeology... 1 year later, here I am, in the best shape of my life and full of energy! I am fueling my body with exactly what it needs, and that is a huge issue with people reaching their health and fitness goals.. Nutrition is 80% of your weight loss so if you do not fuel your body properly, those results will be set back.
So while still on my journey, I decided I LOVE these challenge groups and it just gives me so much motivation and support that I want to help people also with their own journey! As a nurse also, I love helping people.. I think it is truly why I was put on this earth.. God creates us all a certain way, and this was my calling.. I just love hearing every day about someone getting a step closer to happiness and their goals, or that they were inspired by my motivational post on face book or Instagram.. So here I am today, a beach body coach.. And something a little more... After helping lots of people reach their health and fitness goals, I have been able to rank advance to diamond, and this past year, I made it to 5 star Elite, which is the top 1% of all beach body coaches in the entire company which holds more than 140,000 coaches! This only gives me more energy to keep going and help even more people!
WHAT DO I DO AS A BEACH BODY COACH?!
So this is what I do.. I work from home, online, on face book, and other social medias that I choose to do, and run challenge groups on face book (closed groups) so I can coach 1:1 with my challengers to give them tips, recipes, support, motivation, and accountability to help them reach their overall health and fitness goals! I make my own hours, I am my own boss and answer to NO ONE but myself (and husband of course haha), and I am able to earn an income for my family! What is great about me coaching, is I have been able to hold myself accountable for maintaining my own health and well being because I know I am now a role model for people and have to practice what I preach! It has kept me totally on track and I love that feeling of having self control for once in my life!
I also do get to travel as a beach body coach! Yes, with my family too! Next month, we are going on a cruise with the company which is paid for by beach body! My hubby and I now get to go on our 5 year anniversary that we wanted without feeling financial unstable! In June, I will be going with a few friends to Vegas for our huge Summit training! It just feels unreal to have this opportunity that a year ago, I thought I could never achieve.. I am just a normal mom, with two boys, working as a nurse, and just have a passion for health and fitness! What I am getting at is you can be that normal person with a normal life but become something so much more than you ever imagined! This is about taking a step out of your comfort zone, taking that leap of faith, and doing what you want.. going for your dreams, your goals, your passion! If I wouldn't have taken this step, I cannot imagine where I would be right now. It has totally changed my life.. and what else that has changed my life is the amazing coaches I have on my team! They either have a passion for health and fitness and never used the workouts or drink Shakeology prior to starting but once they started, they couldn't let go.. I have coaches who were at one time in my challenge groups and got amazing results and here they are today leading their own teams, and I have coaches who sign up with me to keep themselves accountable for their own goals but like to be a role model for others and share their journey!
If you are ready get started as a coach and to grow a successful business, our team (#2 in the company) is starting a coach basics apprenticeship which is a 30 day online training where we work as a team to give you the best training possible to help you start your successful business! My training stars March 3rd and will give you the in's and out's of beach body coaching! If you are completely clueless on what to do, don't worry, this is why we have the training for you!

One of the biggest issues with people not being able to reach their health and fitness goals is lack of control... both portion control and self control.. We go out to eat at restaurants and most places have fried, greasy, and food loaded with butter, plus are loaded on your plate and enough for a family to eat. But, since its sitting in front of us, why waste it right? Lets finish it all! NO, this is the problem... we need to find the strong in us and focus on what and how much we are eating so we know when to stop. We are full before we even realize, so when we continue eating, those calories add up fast.
We also have a huge issues with emotional eating. We eat when we are sad, happy, mad, scared, etc. but that affects us in so many ways both mentally and physically. Snacking is sometimes taken to a new level and by learning how to eat properly and how to "snack right", our bodies can make some amazing changes!
What will you do to reach your goals?
A little commitment and effort can get you a long way! What I do is 1:1 online coaching every single day to help you stay accountable and motivated to help you reach your overall health and fitness goals!

Autumn Calabrese is your personal trainer:
Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity fitness trainer, busy mom, and national-level bikini
competitor. She came up with the idea of a portion-control container system
after watching a client eat an entire 1,300-calorie salad in one sitting because it
was “healthy.” Autumn realized that supersized portions were hurting her clients’
weight-loss success because they were eating too much without knowing it. So she
developed portion-control containers to help people see how simple it is to eat the
right amounts and lose weight easily. And as a single mother, Autumn understands
how hard it can be to fit exercise and healthy eating into a jam-packed schedule.
So she created short but effective workouts that take only 30 minutes a day, along
with a simple eating plan that doesn’t require you to spend hours in the kitchen.

Since I said nutrition is so important with reaching your ultimate health and fitness goals, you may ask..
Why incorporate Shakeology?? You get:
-Get 8 servings of veggies in 1 shake
-All-natural
-Whole foods
-No chemicals or processed foods
-Health benefits: helps heart health, prevents heart disease, lowers blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, controls blood sugar (YES, even great for diabetics), improves immune system
-Helps increase energy levels (Naturally)
-Helps decrease cravings (your finally getting the nutrition your body needs, so no longer craves the bad food with lack of nutrients!)
-Includes your daily Multi-Vitamin
This is one meal you NO longer have to prep or worry about! If you skip a meal, I suggest incorporating Shakeology once a day in place of the meal usually skipped.. I personally use it for either breakfast, lunch, or even my 2nd meal in between breakfast and lunch. It works great for me and keeps me full longer :)
I cannot forget the BRAND SPANKIN NEW FLAVOR that came out!! We officially have STRAWBERRY available, and also comes in a box of packets with not 2, but 3 flavors!!!
I know there are many shakes out there and people are jumping from diet shake to diet shake.. As you see above, this is NOT a diet shake or weight loss shake.. this is specifically a health shake and with all the benefits it gives you will then aid in weight loss. I do not focus on how many grams of fat, sugar, or carbs are in it, but what is in the shake and how it will help your health and wellness and help you achieve your goals with a LONG TERM effect! Want to join my CHALLENGE GROUP??
Join my closed group on face book where I coach you and give you health and fitness tips, recipes, meal plans, and provide you with the support you need to follow through with your fitness goals!
I post every morning and throughout the day to help you stay on track, but you as a challenger would be required to check in at least 1 time daily to report how your day went... So if you did your daily workout, drank your shake, and rate your food from 1-5, 5 being the best and 1 being the worst.. You also can share what you ate so I can give you feedback and advice or maybe other healthy choices if you need assistance with clean eating.
In the Challenge Group, we also do before and after pictures and measurements to help you keep track of your progress. Although you may think the scale is important, your inches lost and physical appearance are more important, along with your change in health, energy levels, cravings, etc. I help you with thinking in a different way, along with building the self confidence you may have never had at one point in time.
If you are skeptical on if this will work for you , I want you to take a moment and think about what has, what has not, and what is or is not working for you. If what you are doing is not working for you now, what will hurt to try something new for 21 days?? The worst that can happen is your in the same spot you were at this very moment, but I can assure you, if you follow the tips and tools I give you, you will make some amazing changes!
I focus on living a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle and gear away from the diet scene.. If you are interested in joining my 21 DAY FIX challenge starting Feb 17th, please fill out this application below to get a spot in my group and I will get back to you ASAP :)
So I'm a spicy kinda girl and LOVE hot sauce on almost anything! So instead of eating one of my old favorites, buffalo wings, WHY NOT make a clean recipe out of it?!
Sometimes, its hard for me to get all my veggies in, well certain veggies that is.. I have a hard time with carrots, celery, and cauliflower.. I needed to find a way to get these in without taking the meaning of healthy away from it. Buffalo Cauliflower bites was the way to go!!
CLEAN BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER BITES
Ingredients:
1/2 head cauliflower, crumbled into bite size pieces
1/2 cup almond flour
3/4 cup almond milk
2 tsp garlic powder
Himalayan salt and crushed black pepper to taste
1 cup Sriracha chili sauce (My favorite hot sauce EVER)
2 tbsp EVOO
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 F
Whisk together flour, milk, garlic powder, 1/2 cup sriracha, salt and pepper until smooth (if its too clumpy, you may need to add a little more milk)
Dunk your cauliflower bites
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle EVOO on it
Use a spoon to place bites onto paper
Pour remaining of sauce on top and bake for 20 min
When cauliflower bites are done, take out and add the 1/2 cup sriracha and 2 tbsp EVOO to the top and bake for another 5 minutes.
Serve with Clean Ranch Dressingand celery if you wish!!
ENJOY!!

After the weekend, Im so ready to be back on track! I did not totally fall off, but we had my son's 3rd birthday party and it did involve pizza, an amazing cake, and ice cream! Not going to lie, I am human and I ate some!! And I enjoyed every bit!! HAHA!
My 3 yr old Chase with his Dinosaur cake!!
So I am back to normal and the bloating is already going away.. Its crazy how different your body feels like eating bad for just one day!
This week, I am using some of my meals that I had on the21 day Ultimate Reset, which is a 21 day strict cleanse! I still follow lots of the recipes because they were so good and really helped me reach my goals!
Yesterday, it was grrocery shopping, prep day, and cooking up all my meals! I love having these days so I can prepare myself for the entire week. I save so much time during the week cooking and trying to figure out what I want.
Here is a look at my weekly meal plan! I am definitely strict and will not have any cheat meals this week.. Usually I give myself one, but I had 2 meals off this week, so I'm catching back up! :)
Do you think I had enough tomatoes?! I definitely need to start looking in my fridge before I write what I need from the store! Looks like I will be making lots of home made clean ketchup!! ;)-
So it takes me about 3 hours on my Sundays to prep my food and have it into servings so when I need to run out the door during the week, I can grab and GO!
This gives me NO excuses for passing up a meal, or going to fast food instead!
You also will notice that I cook a lot of the same meals each week.. this helps me save of time and money as well so I am not buying as many groceries! I learn to be frugal, but smart with my food choices too!
I have my Quinoa Saladand Greek Salad which are both from the Ultimate Reset, raw peppers and raw cucumbers to have with hummus.. I use either roasted red pepper or my favorite supremely spicy! I need a little kick in my food! :)
I also prepped for my hubby, so I made lots of HoneyDijon Pork Chops, chicken for myBrushetta Chicken recipe (MY FAV), and some sweet potatoes!
Now, my entire family is set for the week!
Although it is not shown, we also are using Shakeology once daily as one of our meals! I usually use it as my 2nd meal of the day, which actually my hubby does for either his 2nd meal or his lunch. It works out really well for us and have found to have lots of energy and less cravings for chocolate!
This morning, I woke up at 5 am to get in my workout even though I was off work and if felt great!! I feel so much more ahead of the game when I wake up early to get started with my day!!
I am currently doing the P90X3 program which is perfect for me because I love a variety of weight training, cardio, and yoga so I am getting it all!! Today was Isometrics and it was great! Definitely have to improve on a few moves, but I loved every minute of it!
Each week, I feel stronger and stronger, along with becoming more flexible again! I am always trying to improve myself in different ways, so here is an example of what I do.. I swear I was not able to do this last week!
Check out my new move!! WOOP WOOP!!
I was so excited to do this!! Each week I will get better and better at different moves!! This week, I am off to a great start!!
If you like fitness and eating healthy, have you ever thought about making it a career?? I was on my own fitness journey when I found Beachbody, and since motivating myself, I figured why not motivate others too?!? This is what I do, I stay at home with my kids, work in my workout clothes, workout, eat healthy, and drink Shakeology, our health shake meal replacements to give me my daily dose of dense nutrition!!
I also get to travel everywhere with my family and meet lots of amazing people!!
Can't get much better than that right?!?
If you are looking for a new career, or even want to help others and make an extra 200$ a month, Beach body coaching may be the ticket for you! I would love to share this opportunity with you and share my experience as a coach thus far!
I started as a coach 1 yr ago, and officially am able to be a stay at home mom and have made up for working as a full time RN! CLICK HERE to find out more about Beachbody Coaching!

Nothing like a great start to a new year! We just had an amazing turn out for Super Saturday this weekend! Lots of motivation, success stories, and friends from all over!! I am so excited to share what being a BEACH BODY COACH is all about!
So we started the weekend off with Saturday morning at the Sheraton hotel with over 350 coaches and guests at our event! How crazy is that?!? Our super Saturdays started with 30 people or so, and now we are growing and the room is full of people wanting to help people live healthy and fulfilling lives!
This is where I get motivated.. Its my passion. I listen to real people speak about their transformation with using Shakeology and other Beach body programs to reach their ultimate goal, but change their entire outlook on life! I listen to people speak about how they started as a coach and were so financially unstable, they were not sure how to even make ends meet... but with persistence and dedication to what is important to them, they made it happen. They coached people and changed lives.. They improved their own lifestyle. They work hard every day, and now have financial freedom that they never thought was possible at one time. This financial freedom is not from going to a 4 year degree program at a University. This is simply from working as a Beach Body coach.. working from home, making your own hours, talking to people about your passion, about health and fitness, eating healthy, making small improvements in your every day life to see big changes with time.
We also had recognition for our 2013 Premier and Elite Beachbody Coaches!! So proud to say I was included in this as a 5 star Elite!!
I am so proud of our team the "Dream Team" for having 3 Elite and 2 Premier coaches alone!! This team is growing and growing to be very successful! The training is great and we have some pretty awesome leaders on our team!
Did I mention we had a visitor? Michael Neiman came to visit!! He came all the way from California to congratulate Melanie Mitro, the #2 coach in Beachbody (and my cousin ;) in the picture beside me) and the creator of the Dream Team!
After our recognition and speakers, we had an amazing Insanity workout!! If anyone has trouble finding an intense workout, I dare you to try Insanity!! It's amazing and how I got a lot of my results!! Although it is so intense, its a workout, I cannot seem to steer away from!
I had a few of my coaches travel 3 hours away just to be a part of this Super Saturday and am so thankful to have these ladies on my team! They are committed and such amazing coaches! Also, to the right is another team who is so awesome too! Kaileigh, who has become such an amazing friend, is the creator of Revelation Fitness. It is so great to get teams together and all have the same passion and purpose for being here!
As a health and fitness coach, it is so fun to be able to work from home, in your workout clothes, and just talk to everyone around the US! If you decide you want to take a day off, guess what?!? You can and no one is going to tell you otherwise!!
So after our Super Saturday, we had a 15 star dinner for Melanie Mitro for going 15 star!! We got to dress up and celebrate with just us!! We had our significant others with us and it was so relaxing!
Overall, I had such an amazing time with my friends that I can call my second family. This is what coaching is all about.. we have our work, but we also love our fun, travels, and time spent together as a team!!
I am having a Beachbody Coach Business opportunity meeting on Wed Jan, 15th and would love to have you listen in to see more of what coaching is all about!
You do not have to be at your goal weight, not do you have to put in 5 hours of work a day unless you want to! You are your own boss and do not have to even get out of your pj's to take the kids to day care because you can do all of this right out of your own home!!
You can find me on facebook at facebook.com/deidra.penrose or email at deidra.penrose@yahoo.com for more details about the business opportunity call.
If you are interested in becoming a Beachbody Coach on the #2 Team in the company and get the top training to become a successful leader and coach, please fill out the coach application below and get a spot in my Coach Basics training starting Jan 20th!
during that first week, than how I felt not doing the fix.. I was less bloated, not hungry as much, and was able to focus on the important things like getting in my water intake and keeping myself busy activity wise, rather than always on eating! Yes, I eat all the time!! But I am by no means over weight, its just I tend to be obsessive about food.. Using the 21 day fix is really helping me with portion control and knowing when to eat! Although I took 2 days off, I was still able to use portion control, which was great! I have a feeling if I would have stuck with it I would have started to see results on the scale, but at the same time I need to realize I am at a low weight for me and my body type already.. I see my abs, I have definition, 
What I love so much about this program is you do not only get the nutrition part, but the exercise is incorporated also! If you look at other companies with the same concept with shakes, you usually do not get regular clean eating, health shakes, and exercise together.. Many have boxed and packaged food full of soy and sodium and not from whole foods, the shakes are not natural and full of artificial sweeteners and are not even an entire meal, and most do not talk about exercise and include workouts period! With Beach body, you get the whole nine! You get what we call a long term LIFESTYLE! Something you can live off of! 
If you are looking to start your fitness journey and/or wanting to get off of a plateau, this is a perfect regimen to start with! I am running a challenge group starting March 17th, yes St. Pattys Day! Do not let a holiday interfere with your long term health and fitness goals.. Sometimes we make small sacrifices to reach our long term results..
