Commit to 60 Days For a Total Body and Life Transformation!

ARE YOU READY TO COMMIT TO YOUR OWN HEALTH?!

I do not know about you, but I know tons of people that are wanting so bad to lose weight, tone up, and make healthier food and lifestyle choices, but do not know where to start.  I will say from experience, I was totally there at a point in my life.... I was miserable with low self-esteem, and couldn't stand to even be in my workout short and tank because my fat would hang over and shake during my exercise.  It drove me CRAZY!! I finally woke up one day and knew if I didn't start something quick, my depression would show to my kids and the last thing I wanted is for them knowing I had such a complex with my image and how I felt about myself.   

As I was looking to find myself again, my cousin ran an idea past me.. She has been coaching for Beachbody for a little and has gotten amazing results, and asked if I would join her in a challenge group to reach my health and fitness goals.  I was so skeptical because you know that stuff you hear and see on TV isn't always what its made out to be right?!? Well, since I had nothing to lose and wasn't getting the results I wanted from everywhere else, I took a leap and faith and went with it! I joined her challenge group, and let me say it was the best investment I could've ever done!
What was so special about this challenge group??

Well, not only did I get my results, but I found confidence and happiness that nothing else was giving me! As a nurse, I love helping people and found that these groups motivated and inspired me at the same time! I wanted to give this back to someone else.. I thought, if I could someones life like mine was changed, this could be amazing!!

So in the middle of my own journey, I signed up myself as a Beachbody coach! Again, one of the best investments I could ever do for myself and my family! Not only am I continuing my own journey and keeping myself accountable, but I now run my own Challenge Groups for those who are looking to better themselves physically and mentally! 

This is not about just a physical transformation! Its the 1:1 coaching daily that you get that motivates you, and helps you realize the good in you and how strong of a person you are.  Your potential to do something great for yourself is right around the corner... The opportunity for you to take what is given to you in these challenge groups and teach your family about healthy eating and how to love yourself and be confident with the person you are! 

What is really involved in these Challenge Groups??
Well in 60 days, I am giving you an opportunity to literally change your life! HOW??

-You get DAILY 1:1 coaching and support from me and my other fellow coaches on my team Forever FIT

-You get recipes to cook for yourself and your family

-Daily motivation and accountability (we check in daily, along with you checking in to tell your coach how your day went and if you followed your plan).  

-A workout program of your choice.  There is a program out there for everyone, depending on preference of exercise, limitations, intensity, etc. I will be the one to help you find what suits you the best.

-SHAKEOLOGY.  Forget the diet pills, starvation, and binging... We incorporate Shakeology once daily into our nutrition regimen to help give us the dense nutrition we do not get from our every day foods. With over 70 NATURAL ingredients, super foods, digestive enzymes, and probiotics, you will notice a huge increase in your energy, decrease in bloating and cravings because you are finally fueling your body with what it has been lacking for so long!

-Clean Eating Education.  We teach you all about what Clean eating is, what type of foods are "clean", and how to take this with you forever! Like I said, no diet pills or starvation... Eating small frequent meals that can fuel your body will do wonders for yourself and your goals! 

-Track your progress: We do take before and after photos and measurements to best track your progress.  Your weight is not the only indicator if you are losing weight or reaching your particular goal (s).  By tracking your photos and measurements, you will see the bigger picture, your non-scale success as we call it that means so much more than just a number on a scale!

-You get to workout and live your healthy lifestyle in the comfort of your own home! These home fitness programs we provide you with are programs that give you the ability to wake up and not have to take the kids to a sitter, spend money on gas, or a gym membership every month! 

If you have been trying to reach your health and fitness goals, its time to ask yourself, WHY NOT?? Are you not motivated, have the willpower, or you can't find something that works for you? This is WHY I am here! I am ready to provide you with 1:1 support and tips to get you to your ultimate goals! I know it can happen because my team and challengers are full of transformations!! We know what you need, because we were there and still are on our own journey!

Since I didn't post much about week 10, I am including it in here! 

I stayed on track and worked by buns off!! :)

One of the most important things I need to focus on right now is posing.. Its a lot tougher than I thought and knowing that I will be standing up there for who knows how long makes me more nervous! My body literally is SHAKING like crazy when I hold my poses for 30 seconds!

Man cakes on the go!

This was a day before 9 weeks out officially!

As I am prepping for my show, I have been traveling pretty frequently back and forth to my mothers house to visit my family! So 5 hours in the car each weekend and being away from your home definitely requires some planning and prepping!! I am so excited to say I have been ON POINT with my nutrition since my last post where I broke down! I think that was exactly what I needed to do! 

So I have been keeping extra healthy snacks everywhere so when I am on the go, I have no excuse to give into temptation or put anything bad in my mouth! I got my extra man cakes- yes I eat them cold too, and plenty of chicken and cold sweet potatoes to go around!! Its crazy how use to this you get.. When I tell people 21 days to get into a habit.. ITS SOOO TRUE if you stick with it and don't give into anything! 

Since being away, I made some pretty awesome choices and it just comes to show that you do not have to make bad choices even at a restaurant! I had to go into my favorite restaurant where I have my cheat meals- RED ROBIN! Yes!! I went in and overcame every doubt I had about not eating healthy there..  Lots of broccoli, chicken, salmon and sweet potato! 

It's SHAKEOLOGY TIME!

So thankfully, I haven't had my Shakeology taken away from me yet!! I have been drinking it since I started my fitness journey and it is always a perfect way to get in my vitamins and minerals and extra nutrients to fuel my body and give it a good kick in the butt! 

I found a new favorite recipe that is absolutely AMAZING!! So when I'm craving chocolate and oatmeal cookies, what better way to eating them without the guilt?? OH YEA!! Check out my Chocolate Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookie recipe!! 

As I have been playing around, I always hear people talking about hating veggies and how to get them in without gagging... So heres my thing.   I love veggies now, but I know where you guys who don't are coming from because that was men at one point in my life.  

It wasn't until I started eating clean that my taste buds changed and my body craved more of what I was giving it! Same thing when you eat fast food, pizza, chips, and pop... You notice you crave more of that right?!? 

Its all a mind game and taking that 21 days to focus on YOU and get all those processed foods and chemicals out of your system and your body will work in ways you never thought it could!!

Success- I see the numbers 128 on the scale!! Pretty crazy since I am always above 130.. on another note, the fat is leaving me! I still keep picturing these Figure competitors especially when I'm practicing my posing and it is still so hard to picture myself with that body since I never had it at the point before.. But I guess you have to believe in order to reach it right?!?! :) 

OK happy dance my tummy is toning!!!

On to continue another great week and counting down until I can get my suit for my show!!! WOOHOOO!! Reality is hitting in!! Better go hit the gym for Leg day!! :)

BEACHBODY COACH- WHAT MAKES ME SUCCESSFUL?

Today is such an amazing day! It is so nice to just sit back and reflect on WHY I am doing what I am doing.  There are many times when my husband asks me, "Why did you quit your full time Nursing career that you spent all that money on school for and time to be a Beachbody coach?"  My answer has been getting easier and easier to answer!

As a nurse, I do feel a sense of accomplishment when I am helping people when they are ill.  As an ER nurse, I interact with tons of people, but its a different feeling.  After having my second child and going to school taking my masters classes to get my school nurse certification, I started my fitness journey with Beachbody and fell in love! I was getting daily support and accountability from my coach in my challenge group, along with tips, recipes, and motivation that I needed to keep going every day! I know for a fact, if I was not in my challenge group, I would've given up a long time ago. But it was different.  Having 24/7 support for 60 days is what helped me get into the lifestyle, get over my fears of failing, and got me to my ultimate health and fitness goals! I lost 40 pounds with INSANITY, P90X, TURBO FIRE (high impact cardio dancing), 21 DAY ULTIMATE RESET and drinking SHAKEOLOGY on a daily basis in place of my breakfast or last meal (helped my sweet cravings for ice cream).

 Part of my Beachbody journey is was put on the famous wall in VEGAS at our SUMMIT (biggest training of the year!)

As a Beachbody coach, I have met such inspirational people who have helped me with my goals and be a better mother, nurse, and coach!

Chalene Johnson (creator of TURBO JAM, TURBO FIRE, and PIYO) and I 

Shaun T (creator of HIP HOP ABS, INSANITY, And T25) with my some amazing coaches on my team Maegan, Lauren, Alisha and I!

Tony Horton (creator of P90X, P90X3,) and I

These programs and Shakeology have changed my life.  I had 2 babies, a newborn and 1 yr old and running back and forth to the gym was not an option for me.  Also, being a nurse and working 12 hour shifts just was a better reason to not spend anymore time driving back and forth.  What I found worked for me as a busy mom and nurse was waking up 45 minutes earlier and getting my 30 minute workout in and right away I was gaining energy I never thought I would have again!

MY WHY for being healthy! To be a great role model for my boys!

My confidence built, I loved having the motivation, and wanted to share this amazing opportunity with others! I mean, its only fair right?! So I decided to become a BEACHBODY COACH and help others, while still on my own journey! I was living the healthy lifestyle, though not at my goal, but it helped me to understand what my challengers were going through! I was able to relate to them in many ways!







As I started running my own CHALLENGE GROUPS, I found my challengers feeling the same way I did and having amazing transformations! These challenge groups were like a god send! I couldn't believe how this is changing lives! Having my challengers message me and say "Thank You for changing my life" or "Thank you for reaching out to me, now I am in the smallest pants I ever had", or "Thank you for believing in me, now my entire family is healthier because you didn't quit on me".... this is what its all about! This is what I was put on this earth to do!

Today was a huge day for not only me, but one of my challengers who is now a Coach after realizing as a nurse and mother, she wanted to help end the trend with me! Erin received a call today that she had won the Beachbody challenge $500! This was all because she wanted to be healthy for herself and her family!

Erin started her journey with me in April and when she came to me for help, I was so excited to help her because I felt her pain and lack of confidence and self-esteem just talking to her. 
This girl could've made any excuse not to do this... working 12 hour shifts as a nurse, having 2 young children, and "just not having time". She made no excuses because her WHY is strong enough. To be a great role model for her kids and just be confident in her own skin! Being in our challenge group/support group is what kept her going strong. It gave her the accountability and tools she needed for a healthy lifestyle! 

I know you may think its crazy for companies to give such rewards to people, but that is WHY I am a coach for this company! We are not about diets, we are about changing lives! 
Erin has changed my life alone and has inspired me so much! you give so many people hope that its possible, no matter where you are in your life!

No I am not a nutritionist, personal trainer (although I use to be), or expert, but I do know how to live a healthy lifestyle and I know what people need to succeed... No diet pills, no weight loss surgery, just a little support, motivation, accountability, clean eating, exercise, and mostly, someone who believes in them to be there for them at any given time! That would be ME! This is what I do!
