NPC FIGURE COMPETITION 2 WEEKS OUT

Sunday started out great... I had my photo shoot for my fitness pictures and mommy fitness pictures and I was so darn excited to see how my body has progressed for my show! I got my early workout in the morning and I had all my meals prepped and ready to go, and did awesome the entire day!!

As I had my own food, I of course made my mom my amazing Pumpkin Protein Pancakes!! That was such a tease to myself lol!!

I was able to spend some quality time with my friends/fellow coaches which was awesome!! 

Just before our hair and makeup for the shoot! Sarah of course had hers done! :)

Sexy black dress time!!

A little sneak peak with my phone! Stay tuned for the REAL DEAL!! EEEEK!!

Ok, I MUST POST AT LEAST THESE PICS!! They are finally me in my posing suit for my show 2 weeks out.. This means I have 2 weeks to kick my own butt!!! Thank you Allison Siniski for taking these pics!! She is definitely an AMAZING photographer and is also a competitor, so she had great ideas for fitness shoot!!  To check out her site CLICK HERE! P.S. these are not even edited yet lol but I had to post!!

Ok Im pretty proud of this one!! Definitely my FAV shot!!

So after an amazing day with the photo shoot, I started out the week trying to be positive... I got my morning cardio in with BODY BEAST, one of my favorite Beachbody workouts!! This is the program I will be following after I take a week off after my show!!  You will notice, I do Body Beast workouts at least 2 times a week!

Meals are prepped and ready to go! I had a recording for my documentary and was able to show how I prep my food weekly!! This was so awesome that I am actually turning this part into another video to help people with prepping since its such an important part of your results!

Wednesday:

AHHH can I seriously scream right now?!?! LOL... Ok talk about your mind playing games with you!!! Im ready to lose it!! I want food and I want it NOW!! Im tired of not eating my healthy normal food! I keep thinking am I even meant for this?! I know I was told you are going to have more emotions than ever the last 4 weeks, but Im ready for the show... I had a photo shoot Sunday and ever since then, I feel like Ive totally screwed myself! 
Yes, Ive cheated... Ive had WAY too many rice cakes, too many almonds (haven't had in 2 days because Im not even suppose to have them anymore), and today just really went over board..
Mind you, this is show prep so when I say I had 1 1/2 whole wheat english muffin with natural peanut butter, your probably thinking "oh wow, thats nothing"... but I will add an entire bag of rice cakes AGAIN all in one sitting! WAY too many calories and carbs for this girl!
Ive done 1 workout this morning of the 21 DAY FIX plyo and I just finished Shaun T's soon to be new release Insanity Max 30 intervals.  Thats a lot of cardio and plyos!! I am committing to another workout tonight so make up for some of what I messed up.

I also decided I can no longer stay up late because I know that is what has been screwing me up! Bed at 9 pm on Wed!! Slept for 7 hours and felt so much better!! 

Thursday:

I woke up positive and ready to go! Although I screwed up yesterday, I have 1.5 weeks left and I AM NOT GIVING UP!!!!

Today, I did my last full  back workout before my show and we recorded it for my documentary.  It was crazy how full I felt after all those rice cakes the day before! My veins were poking out everywhere!! So after I confessed what I did to my trainer helping me out, he put in my place and told me what I need to do.. I need a sauna, but unfortunately I don't have one to go to, so I had some garbage bags and did a little wrapping for my cardio!! HAHA oh my!!! This is how it turned out!!!

Im pretty sure I had a little more sweat than usual with this workout!! 

YEAAA BUDDY!! Thats what its about!!! HAHA Ok I did some posing and need to increase the time I spend doing that to really get tight! I also just bought a dietician tea to help with the cleansing part and excess water loss!  I hate trial and error, but I guess this is only prepping me for knowing what to do and not to do for my next show!! yep, you heard me correct.... I hate and love this at the same time that I WILL be moving forward with this, but possible FITNESS COMPETITION!!

As a health and fitness coach, it is my job to help others live a healthy and more fulfilling life.  I help both people wanting to start their journey, whether its losing 10, 25, 50, or 100 lbs, but I also help people in shape that want to improve themselves and tone or build muscle!

Find your Fitness Motivation!

As a Beachbody coach, I come across so many people wanting to better their lives, and make healthy changes, but do not know the first place to go for help! This definitely helped me find my nitch and career, because as a nurse, I obviously LOVE to help people, but my passion for health and fitness has grown significantly since reaching my own goals. Today is about how to find your Motivation!!

For me when I first started my fitness journey, I didn't know where to turn, and although it was always easy for me to get back into shape, after having my second child... it was not so easy anymore.  I felt like I lost myself, and all the confidence I use to have, was down the drain.  I was embarrassed to be in front of my husband, rather than in a pool in a bathing suit with my son for swimming lessons.
It was not until a few weeks after having my second son, that my cousin who is a Beachbody coach came to me and asked me to join her "Beachbody Challenge"... I was very skeptical because I always hear about those FAD diets, and honestly, I did not have time for another FAKE OUT with my body and health.. I was in desperate need of help!
At the same time, I was a full time mommy (1 yr old and newborn), along with working as an ER nurse, building a house, and taking my Master's classes and clinicals for my school nurse certification.
I thought about it and after seeing my cousin's results, and put my trust in her and decided to take a leap of faith!
I did research and noticed lots of great reports with the workout programs such as Turbo Fire, Insanity, P90X, and Brazil Butt Lift.

What stood out to me about these Beachbody Fitness programs??
-Each program comes with a nutrition guide: For once, a company focuses on both aspects of a healthy weight loss... BOTH exercise AND nutrition!
-Each program has a schedule to follow: No need to be lost on what to do when... It is given to you!
-There is a program out there for EVERYONE: Based on your Intensity level,  and if you have any restrictions from injuries.
-Focus on LONG TERM vs. SHORT TERM LIFESTYLE: So many FAD diets are only temporary... The food and shakes are full of chemicals, and do not give you the proper nutrition, SO when you get off these foods and go back to regular food, you will eventually gain that weight back.
-Time efficient: Being that I am a mother and work, I do not have 1 or 2 hours to spend at the gym, along with finding a sitter to watch my children, while I travel back and forth to the gym.... Beachbody's home DVD programs give you the opportunity to work out in your own home, and not having to leave the house and waste more time going back and forth
-Money saver:  Paying for a monthly gym membership... hmmm, I bet many of us know how that goes... we pay for a gym, but go months without stepping foot in a gym! I have found paying for a workout program that I have FOREVER makes me feel I'm getting the most out of my buck!

These are just some amazing benefits that Beachbody has provided me, that I can now share with many others and give everyone else the great opportunity I had!
Now, back to that BEACH BODY CHALLENGE!

What is a Beachbody Challenge??
I, as a Beachbody coach, hold closed groups on Facebook where I work 1:1 with YOU to help you reach your ultimate health and fitness goals..
HOW does this work??
-You pick your workout program and follow the schedule and nutrition guide
- I give you daily motivation
-I provide my challengers with healthy recipes
- I provide my challengers with meal plans and help them make their own if they need help
-We take before and after pictures to help track our progress of our journey
-Challengers check in DAILY: Take 2 minutes to say how your day went.... Did you complete your daily workout, did you drink your SHAKEOLOGY, and how did you eat?? Rate your food on a scale 1:5, 5 being the best and 1 being I totally fell off the wagon!
* If you are willing to commit to this Beachbody Challenge, I PROMISE YOU RESULTS!!
The only way out of not getting the results you are looking for or more, is if you do not follow the program.

After researching about Beachbody and "The Challenge", I committed to joining my own challenge.  I started with 60 days of Insanity and drinking SHAKEOLOGY on a daily basis, and I was finding myself after 4 weeks, I had increased energy, less bloating, but more importantly, those crazy night cravings I had, were subsiding!! This was totally craziness!! How in the world can I get these results, when I was spending 2 hours at the gym and not getting results that fast??
I realized as time went on, and I was completing the workout programs successfully, that having a personal trainer on my TV to push and motivate me, on top of a support group with people having the same goals as me help me through my tough times, and a coach to guide me and help me with meal planning and accountability, is what made all the difference!
I am not downing the gym or people who love the gym... we all have a preference.... but Im talking from what worked for me! I will say, having a program play, pushed me through with less breaks, which keeps my heart rate up longer, burring more fat, and increasing my metabolism!  On top of the healthy eating,  drinking Shakeology once daily, helped me maximize my results and give me the dense nutrition I was always lacking from my regimen!
I WAS FINDING MYSELF AGAIN!!!

I have NEVER found such an easy, convenient health and fitness plan, than those with Beachbody.  I have gone through several programs now including INSANITY, P90X, TURBO FIRE, ULTIMATE RESET, P90X3, T25, 21 DAY FIX and now currently in Team Beachbody's Test Group for PiYo, along with drinking SHAKEOLOGY every single day!!  I have lost a total of 30 lbs, and 25 inches and am more fit than I was in high school as an athlete before kids! How many people can say that??! I know, I never thought that would come out of my mouth... BUT I'm here to say it's totally possible!!
You put in the effort, the commitment, and the time, and the results will follow right behind!

Today, I am still a mom, a nurse, and have now made my passion for health and fitness, my main career! I can now focus my day helping people find themselves, find happiness, and that confidence they may never had or had long ago.  Im here to help you make the change you think is impossible. To live a lifestyle, NOT a diet... to lose the weight and keep it off FOREVER!
If you are willing to give me 60 days of your life, I will promise to add years back to yours!
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THE CHALLENGE??

No matter the age, size, or race, YOU CAN MAKE THE CHANGE... YOU DESERVE THE CHANGE!! Your motivation is RIGHT HERE!!!

Beachbody Success Club Cruise 2014 - Living the Dream of a Beachbody Coach!

Living the Dream~

Who ever would have thought you could have a job so rewarding, yet so fun and inspiring?? I ask myself everyday how on earth did God put me where I am today? I have always watched successful people grow and have the opportunity to travel, and earn an amazing income at the same time...
Never in a million years did I think I would be that person!

Arriving in Ft. Lauderdale, FL

I signed up as a Beachbody coach in Nov of 2012, but did not really get involved with the company until January of 2013.  So as I started getting involved, I was sharing my passion for health and fitness, sharing my own transformation, and motivating as many people as possible on face book and to my family and friends... As more and more people saw what I was doing and noticed how happy and motivated I was myself using beachbody programs and drinking Shakeology, I was attracting people who either had the same passion for health and fitness, or who wanted to be on their own journey with weight loss... This is probably the biggest reward I can say I have had.... watching others transform themselves and gain life back!



Along with having the amazing benefit of helping people, Beachbody provides us coaches with perks... When you do good for others, the favor is returned.  As each person you help, you gain what we call Success Club points.  For each point earned, we earn "cruise dollars" or money towards your success club trip.  So since I was able to help so many people, I ended up having my cruise PAID in FULL, along with having 500$ to spend on the cruise for being a Success Club All star! How nice it was to treat my hubby to a couples massage while on a cruise and pamper him and myself?? AHH-MAZING!!



So this Beachbody cruise was actually the first beachbody trip/event I was able to attend... I have gone to super Saturdays and retreats, but never a big event such as this! With thousands of coaches, 1 ship, I must say it was pretty inspiring! Even better, the trainers that inspire me so much were right in front of me... The ones I work out with through my home DVD's- Insanity, T25, P90X3, and 21 day fix... Yes I met them ALL!!!

Elite Party with Shaun T

Not only was I able to meet the celebrity trainers, but I was also able to meet Corporate- The CEO of the company Carl Daikeler, and Michael Neimand who I met once before.  What is even better is these people are so normal.  They are just like you and I- they are down to earth, and have so much fun! They do not act like celebrities by any means.

We had 5 days on the cruise, and as an Elite coach, My hubby and I were given a balcony suite, an Elite gift bag with some awesome goodies, and an ELITE dinner party where we were able to spend more time together bonding as a team! Since coaches are from all over the US and Canada, it was so nice to finally put names and faces together! I think one of the best parts of this cruise was involving my husband where he can see what really goes on and interact with the team and families also! 

PS. Pic to the left- YES, I got a PiYO DVD to take home! One of the first to get a taste of whats next to come out!! I will keep you al updated, I promise!! :)

My hubby and I before Formal dinner

Im pretty sure my team totally had a blast after our dinners- We had lots of karaoke, game shows, and good talks! Nothing better than catching up on lots of lost time!!

 Overall, this was such an amazing experience.  I spent quality time with family, and now my extended Beachbody family! 

I do recommend, if you have a passion for helping others, and a passion for health and fitness... Beach body coaching has been such a blessing to me and can't imagine where I would be without it! It has given me time with my family, my children, helped me and my family learn a healthy lifestyle, and have financial freedom! I do not think someone can ask for a better career! 

If you are looking to start a new career, or even just have a couple hours a week to earn an extra income and help others while keeping yourself motivated and reaching your own health and fitness goals, fill out my coach application below and I will contact you within the next 24 hours. This is the perfect time to get into my exclusive Coach Basics training starting April 7th.  You will get my mentoring and training with the #2 team in the company, along with all the tools you need to grow into a successful business!

**HELP WANTED**- HEALTH AND FITNESS COACH WORK FROM HOME!

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! We do weekly calls, and assignments that are not difficult, but are required to help you grow as a coach and leader!

Beach Body Super Saturday, Jan 2014

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!
