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??
Please fill out my application below to get an exclusive spot in my May 19th 60 day Fitness 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

Shaun T and I - Gotta love the selfies!

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.

Carl Daikeler- CEO Beachbody

Michael Neimand with Melanie, Matt, and Alyssa

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!

Transformation SHAKEOLOGY

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!

Guilt Free Protein Chocolate Truffles

GUILT FREE PROTEIN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Filling Ingredients

1/4 cup Chocolate Protein Powder ( I use Shakeology)

2 tbsp Almond Flour

1 heaping tbsp Cashew, Almond, Hazelnut, or Natural Peanut Butter (depending on your preference)

1/8 cup Raw Cocoa Powder

1/4 cup Coconut or Almond Milk

Coating Ingredients

3-4 squares of 100% Bakers Unsweetened Cocoa Chocolate Bar

1 square White Chocolate (optional, but great for decoration)

Directions

Mix all of the filling ingredients in a big bowl. Make sure to add what addition you prefer for the batter. If you like Nutella, for example, use hazelnut butter and a really chocolatey protein powder such as Shakeology. 

Once you achieve the right texture, shape the batter into eight balls and set them aside. Remember that if your batter is too sticky to shape, you should add a bit more cocoa powder. If it's too dry or crumbly, add a bit more milk.

Melt your dark chocolate by sticking it in the microwave or, if you're feeling fancy, melt it in a glass bowl on top of a pot of boiling water.

When your dark chocolate has melted, dunk the balls in them and transfer them to a plate or chopping board that's covered in foil or baking paper. This will help prevent the balls from sticking when you unmold them.

Finally, top your truffles with melted white chocolate, chopped nuts, chocolate flakes, or coconut flakes!

ENJOY!!

Thanks for the amazing picture made by my friend and fellow coach Andrea Youngblood, diamond Beach body coach! 

What is SHAKEOLOGY?!

SHAKEOLOGY AT IT'S FINEST

So many people are into the fad diets, and short term weight loss goals, but I want to introduce something that is more than just a diet, a weight loss shake, or even just a protein shake..
SHAKEOLOGY was introduced to me when I was looking to lose weight, but I needed more than the weight loss. I needed energy, to feel better inside and out.  When this was brought to my attention, I thought, here we go, I was using GNC, Jillian Michael's shake, now onto this one.. My coach told me, this is different.  I heard that one before though, so I was skeptical.  But I also thought, you know what?  I am obviously not getting what I want with these shakes, so why not give one more a try.. what is the worst that can happen? I am in the same spot I started in, OR I finally find something that works for me.  
I decided to give it a try..  2 weeks into using Shakeology on a DAILY basis in place of my breakfast (a meal I tend to skip is why I chose breakfast), I noticed my bloating had significantly decreased and I felt like I was gaining energy! I am also a HUGE chocolate fan and noticed after using chocolate Shakeology, I was no longer craving my ice cream and sweets! Could it be this Shakeology is really making that big of a difference? 


After just 4 short months, I was completely transforming myself! I lost 24 lbs and 21 inches total! I was feeling like I was gaining my life back!! I was able to keep up with my little one, as my infant was keeping me up at night! It was like my miracle drink!
 I never missed a day of Shakeology and also incorporated my beach body programs Insanity, Tubo Fire, and 30 days of P90X! 
I was starting to realize when they say 80% of your weight loss is nutrition, they mean it! Although working out was toning me a lot and increasing my metabolism, my eating habits were also increasing my metabolism, but also with using Shakeology, it was giving me the nutrients I was not use to getting.. I hated veggies, would only eat green beans and salad piled with ranch dressing on top... It was like my taste buds were changing into wanting healthy food! 
Then I realized, with all the dense nutrition this shake is giving me, I'm not lacking the vitamins and minerals that I was before that was causing me to crave more unhealthy food.. It's so true when you eat or drink anything.. For instance, you drink energy drinks with caffeine and chemicals, you crave it.. you eat fast food often, you crave it, but people don't realize its the same concept with clean eating.. When you eat healthy food, YOU CRAVE MORE!! You realize how good your body feels and its like a drug, but a good one! For the first 2 weeks, it is really tough, because you still have so much in your system, but once its washed out, you do NOT need it! It's all psychological!

As I continued my journey with Shakeology and beach body, I kept myself accountable, checked into my team beach body account and posted my workouts daily, and ended up with more than good health.. Beach body gave me 500$ just for having a transformation! 
If you want to start your journey and possible make money by being healthy and having a transformation, sign up with a free account at www.beachbodycoach.com/deidrapenrose2 and I will also be your FREE coach to guide you to success and help you reach your goals!




So here I am 1 year later into using Shakeology and beach body programs at home to keep my fitness levels up! I am literally in the best shape of my life.. even after cheering and dancing in high school and college.. I never felt this good.. EVER!! 
I never had abs, and never have felt so confident in myself.. The best part about me getting into this regimen with beach body... ITS A LIFESTYLE! I have never had results and have been able to stick something, but beach body was different, the workouts are motivating and easy for me esp with 2 kids that I cannot just jump in the car and go to the gym. 
I have completed the Ultimate Reset, T25, P90X3, and will be doing 21 Day fix next week! Not only the workouts are amazing, but having Shakeology as an easy and convenient meal, BUT more so finally having a HEALTH shake, rather than a weight loss shake give me more than just weight loss, I have my health! I have improved health wise in so many ways it is unbelievable... I now have been able to act as a role model for my family and my husband, 2 children, mother, sister, AND grandmother with diabetes LOVES Shakeology and it is helping everyone live that healthy lifestyle they wanted!

• Reduce junk food cravings – drink it in the morning to enjoy this benefit throughout the day
• Increase your energy and feel healthier.

What is in Shakeology?

Shakeology is so incredibly healthy, there's no other single food item out there that can supply you with all the nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and minerals in the amounts you need the way one delicious shake can.

More than 70 super-nutritious ingredients.

• Proteins, Vitamins, and Minerals – to help reduce hunger andfood cravings.
• Antioxidants and Phytonutrients – to help detoxify and protect the body against free radical damage.
• Adaptogen Herbs – to help increase energy and combat stress.
• Prebiotics, Probiotics, Fiber, and Digestive Enzymes – to aid digestion and promote regularity.

Proteins, Vitamins, and minerals:

Studies show protein for breakfast can help prevent afternoon cravings for sweets. But who's got time to cook eggs? Shakeology's nourishing protein blend includessuperfoods like sacha inchi and flax, rich in fiber to help control your appetite.

To help you fight cravings and feel full longer.

Plus, Shakeology can help:
• Build and repair muscles
• Promote ideal blood sugar levels
• Support brain function to help promote alert thinking and a positive mood
• Promote healthy skin, hair, and nails

Antioxidants and Phytonutrients:

The superfoods in Shakeology go beyond meeting basic nutritional needs. Sourced from around the world, antioxidants like camu-camu and phytonutrients like moringa work to detoxify your body, support the immune system, and may even help slow down aging.

Protect your body from free radical damage.

Plus, Shakeology can help:

• Promote a strong immune system
• Promote your body's natural inflammatory response
• Promote an ideal alkaline state

Adaptogen Herbs

Among the powerful superfoods in Shakeology are adaptogens—plants like maca root—that adapt themselves to harsh conditions, and therefore carry highly concentrated nutrients that can help provide energy to assist your body in coping with stress.

The secret weapon for increasing energy and endurance.

Plus, Shakeology can help:*
• Protect the body from stress
• Support endocrine and hormone balance and a strong immune system
• Support brain function to help promote alert thinking and a positive mood
• Support a healthy libido

Prebiotics, Probiotics, Fiber, and Digestive Enzymes

Shakeology is packed with fiber, natural prebiotics, and probiotics, like yacon root and bacillus coagulans, that increase the presence of "good bacteria" in your intestines to improve digestion and keep you "regular."

Shed toxins built up from years of eating processed foods.

Plus, Shakeology can help:*

• Support a healthy intestinal tract
• Aid in digestion
• Promote regularity
• Increase the absorption of nutrients

Can you save $ using Shakeology?

Dollar for dollar, Shakeology is the probably the world's greatest value in nutrition. How else can you get the nutritional equivalent of $41 of fruits and vegetables in a single glass?

To match Shakeology, what would you need to eat?

How many fruits and vegetables would you need to eat to match all the nutrition you'll get from a single glass of Shakeology? Check out this video to see for yourself . . .

Why Shakeology saves $$

Here are a few responses I get from my challengers, along with other Shakeology drinkers:

"We no longer buy snacks or junk food—we just make a shake. I didn't think at first we would be able to afford it, but now we can't live without it."

"Our grocery bill went down because we cut out chips, sodas, and cookies . . ."

"Can't beat the Healthiest Meal of the Day for only $4. Eating at a local sit-down restaurant would cost over $7–$10 bucks a day. I mainly decided to try it so I could save a little money each month."

When to drink Shakeology:

For BREAKFAST – Since it helps curb food cravings, you'll be less hungry throughout the day.
Before or after WORKOUTS – It gives you extra energy to power through, and protein to help your muscles recover.
ANYTIME! – It takes less than a minute to toss Shakeology and water into your shaker cup, so you won't slow down your day!

WHY is there NO comparison to Shakeology??

How Does Shakeology Stack Up?

• Formula? 70+ of the healthiest ingredients from whole-food sources. Advantage: Shakeology.
• Sweeteners? No artificial sweeteners, flavors, fillers, or additives of any kind. Advantage: Shakeology.
• Taste? Delicious Shakeology in 5 mouthwatering flavors (vs. artificially flavored competition). Advantage: Shakeology.
