ALISHA S. Transformation: TURBO FIRE and SHAKEOLOGY

ALISHA S. TRANSFORMATION- TURBO FIRE & SHAKEOLOGY

Before Beachbody, I was that girl that loved the latest diet fad and was crash dieting, popping pills, and sipping on a lemon-cayenne pepper drink to lose weight. Since high school, I was rather sedentary and my busy life kept me making excuses that I didn’t have time, nor interest in working out. All that yo-yo dieting was taking its toll on my body. The crash diets would just lead to over eating and I would in turn get depressed. Because I would over-eat after dieting, I would ultimately gain back that weight plus. After delivering my 4^th child in early 2013, even while breastfeeding, in July I was still 172 lbs. My clothes didn’t fit, my energy was low and I was just eating my feelings. I didn’t want to face my emotions or deal with the issues causing me to eat…I just wanted to eat. I stopped socializing, stopped caring, and my friends/family hardly saw me. I was miserable.

I knew something had to change. Not only was I unhealthy, but I needed to change my life for my family, my children. Obesity runs in my family, as none of were raised to make our health a priority. I needed to change that mentality in myself and instill different habits in my children to stop the path of self-destruction.

I had been “watching” a mutual acquaintance on FB drop the pounds and post about her journey. I knew I wanted to do whatever she was doing because I wanted the results she had. Enter Beachbody. I messaged her on FB and told her to “sign me up”…whatever I needed to do, I was ready. I had about 30 pounds I wanted off my body as soon as possible, but something was different this time. I wanted to do it the safe, healthy way. I wanted to combine my diet and exercise and lose the weight naturally, not with diet pills or the latest fad. So in early July 2013, I purchased a Challenge Pack, joined her upcoming challenge group  and began the TurboFire program and started drinking Shakeology.

Was it easy for me to commit to working out 6 times a week? Definitely not, especially after having a baby, and 4 children 6 and under plus owning my own business and working full time? Was it easy for me to completely switch up my eating habits? No! In fact, nutrition change was the hardest part for me. Just like everyone, I felt in my comfort zone when I ate whatever my heart pleased and knowing that I would have to give up my guilty pleasures and learn about healthy eating literally scared me. But you know what? Life begins at the end of your comfort zone they say!! And now I can say that that is exactly where your life starts…at the end of that comfort zone! There were days when I just wanted to quit. There were days when I wanted to consume my weight in Dairy Queen blizzards, but I kept on going. With the help of my Coach Deidra and the private FB challenge group’s online support system, I never felt alone.

Ironically, next 3 months of my life would be the crucial ones in my transformation. Not only did I lose almost 30 lbs, but most importantly, I fell in love with my new lifestyle. Workouts that intimidated me actually made me a much happier person and mom. Scary healthy eating and Shakeology turned my body into what I always wanted it to be and for the first time in 30 years I was beginning to see abs on my stomach. There was no going back to old habits. I was officially hooked on working out at home and putting only healthy foods in my body.

After Turbo Fire I invested in Insanity and found my soulmate cardio workout that gave me even more ab definition and helped me discover how FUN cardio workouts could be. I loved Shaun T so much, and he really inspired me to #DigDeeper. Next I completed p90x3, and my body is changing more and more with each new program.

Now fast forward 8 months, I am in the best shape of my life and this is not the end. I am currently doing FocusT25 which is only 25 min./day. If someone told me last summer when I just got started that I would hang in there for this long and would some day do workouts for fun, I would never believe it. I have lost 42 lbs. and over 40" all over my body!! All I know is I am so happy that I believed in this company, their dvds and nutrition...and I couldn't have done it without my coach. I am committed to bettering myself every day and will set a new standard in my family as well, leading by example all the way!

So when you say you have no time, maybe start prepping meals and that will be a great start to give you extra time in your day!

So my food is all set, now I am ready to kick off an awesome week! I have 4 challenge groups going on right now and they are doing AMAZING!! This seriously may be the best experience ever with my groups! They are staying to dedicated and committed.. Taking accountability pictures of their workouts, food, and drinking their SHAKEOLOGY and water!! 

Even just with my one group that has been involved for 1 week, these are some of the comments:

"I have not used coffee/creamers/sugar"

"I have given up sweets which is huge for me"

"I have more energy"

"I never worked out this much before"

"I have less cravings"

"I am more regular in just 1 week"

I specifically run challenge groups because it is a support group for people who feel unmotivated reaching their goals alone.  They may need a boost with motivation, or keeping them accountable..or help with nutrition tips and recipes so they can enjoy the food they are eating! 

This is what my group is all about! We take day 1 , day 30, day 60, and day 90 pictures and measurements to track their progress to see an amazing transformation by the end of their challenge! 

Why I love doing these challenges is because I teach my challengers that this is not just a 30, 60, or 90 day challenge, this is the beginning of a lifestyle change to a healthier and happier person! I have seen the most amazing transformations and lifestyle changes by doing these groups and it is soooo honoring that I am the one who gets to witness this! 

I want to give an example of how my challengers make this a lifestyle change.. 

Sherri S. was one of my very first challengers when I really got involved as a coach with Beach Body.  She went through Insanity, and TURBO FIRE, and drank Shakeology every single day.  She has been committed every since.  This changed her life and she is now one of my coaches on my team! I am so thankful to have her because she motivates me! Sherri is what you call a life changer.  She just sent me this picture last week and just gave me another thanks for helping her.. I seriously get chills EVERY time I see yet another picture of her because they get better and better! She has stopped smoking, and has totally changed her eating and exercise habits! I also want to say if you ever need a cleaning lady, she burns over 900 calories in 3 hrs so Im sure she does a great job LOL!! 

I know it is not my normal Transformation TUESDAY, but when it comes to success.... sometimes you just cannot wait!! 

So CONGRATS to my friend and fellow coach SHERRI S. for being so dedicated and motivating throughout her entire JOURNEY! Im sure there will be more to come!!

CELINE A- TURBO FIRE AND SHAKEOLOGY TRANSFORMATION

CELINE'S BEACH BODY TRANSFORMATION

SHAKEOLOGY, TURBO FIRE

Celine's Success Story

After struggling with an eating disorder for 8 years I decided after my second baby that enough was enough. Without my health I can’t take care of my two beautiful girls and I want to be their inspiration to love themselves and be healthy. I found that I was extremely tired all the time and depressed and I needed to make a change. All I could think was “would be daughters be proud of their mom?” – I want to set an example for them and become who they look up to. 
I started eating clean, drinking SHAKEOLOGY, and working out to TURBO FIRE in August when my second baby turned 2 months old. I was determined to find a healthy relationship with food and complete my fitness program. I love TURBO FIRE because it’s both fun and challenging! Chalene Johnson has so much energy and personality it really helps get me to push harder. When I heard they came out with a vanilla SHAKEOLOGY I was all over it and I’m so addicted! I find new recipes everyday and look forward to drinking my ‘sweet treat’ every afternoon! My body has definitely transformed from drinking Shakeology and exercising not only from a weight loss perspective, but the way I feel inside as well. I no long get migraines, I’m regular, I have the energy I need to take care of my two little ones, my self esteem has lifted, my emotional well-being is so much stronger, and I’m not exhausted by the end of the day like I used to be! I cannot imagine waking up and not ‘pushing play’ because of how it makes me feel day in and day out!! I’m currently doing the ‘advanced schedule’ ofTURBO FIRE but will be starting a whole NEW journey with Focus T25 later this month with my husband!! I inspired him to be healthier and change his habits. This is why I became a Beachbody coach! I aim to help others by sharing my story and hopefully become an inspiration to many more people!

Celine has been such a motivated and dedicated challenger of mine and I am sooo proud of the hard work she has put into her new lifestyle, because she is now able to share this with others and help them live a better quality of life. She stayed consistent with drinking her SHAKEOLOGY every day and her workouts, and it shows by putting 100% effort into 80% nutrition and 20% exercise, you can achieve anything!!
