Happy 6th Birthday SHAKEOLOGY!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY SHAKEOLOGY!!!

It is so hard to believe 2.5 years ago, I make a decision to change my lifestyle and started my fitness journey! It was a step that totally changed my life and my family's life! 

As a mommy of 2, an infant and a 1 year old, a wife, an ER nurse, and taking masters classes, I didn't think I had time to even focus on my own health. I was putting my own health to the side to focus on everything else going on.  Then I realized that all I was doing is making myself more unhappy, uncomfortable, and insecure of myself! Yes, I did this to MYSELF! 

How foolish of me to make myself unhappy in this way because all this does is affect my family and how everyone else looks at me.  If I cannot love myself, how am I to expect anyone else to be happy with me? What kind of role model was I being for my family?? 

Do I want my kids to grow up and not put their health first... Should I make it OK to be unhealthy just because its the EASY and convenient way out??

As I made the choice to let my health and fitness go away, I realized a lot.  My family counts on me, and in order for me to be around as long as possible for my family and kids, and do all the physical activities we should do as parents, I changed my way of thinking!

I decided to start eating clean, workout out to a home fitness program to save me time and money for gym membership and gas going to and from, and following the guide that was given to me by Beachbdody.. along with that, I incorporated this health shake meal replacement called SHAKEOLOGY that was introduced to me!

What is Clean Eating?!

I am simply eating fresh veggies, fruits, and lean proteins like lean turkey burger, chicken, fish (tilapia, cod, tuna), and lean red meat 1 time per week.  I intake healthy fats like coconut oil, avocados, and raw almonds.  I do my shopping outside the isles at the grocery store because that is where I find my healthy food!

WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT SHAKEOLOGY?!

It gets tough to find meals with so much nutrition and health benefits- In order to find a meal like this that is ALL- NATURAL, you would be spending tons of money at the grocery store, and buying tons of ingredients.  What Beachbody has done for us is made our lives easier and did the work for us so we have an easy, convenient, healthy, nutritious meal that gives our bodies everything it needs!

HOW HAS SHAKEOLOGY HELPED ME?!

This is so easy for me to talk about because literally, it has helped me in sooooo many ways.  From the convenience of this health nutritious meal that I could intake rather than skipping my meals because I was too busy too eat from the improvement of my digestive system, the energy I gained from all the super foods and natural ingredients, to the cravings that I never thought I could over come.  I had HUGE issues with binging on peanut butter and ice-cream in the evenings. 

I would do so well during the day, and then BOOM, Im binging again.  With Shakeology, I make it with natural peanut butter or PB2 so it takes exactly like my ice-cream, but its healthy!

This is huge for me!! I never thought I could have something satisfy me and find a healthy alternative to something so terrible for me! But I did... I call it my little miracle in a cup! :) 

WHY TELL EVERYONE ABOUT SHAKEOLOGY?!

WHY NOT?!? It has changed my life, it keeps me on track with my nutrition which is 80% of my results, and I know it has helped many many other people!! 

Just like when you go to the movies or a good restaurant.. you tell everyone about it right?!?! Well, here you go!! I want to share this with everyone because I believe it  can benefit EVERYONE!! 

I have helped hundreds of people reach their goals because I am able to share my story and what Shakeology, our home fitness programs, clean eating, and support and accountability in our challenge groups have done!

I am not alone in this transformation story... All those people who gave it a try, and did not give up on their health, now stand beside me with a transformation! 

My team and challengers are absolutely amazing and have incredible stories themselves to share!! One thing we all do is drink Shakeology EVERY day to give us our daily dose of dense nutrition and super foods, to give us that easy convenient meal to keep us on track of our goals, and to use as a healthy alternative of what could potentially be harmful to your body if you kept eating that particular food. 

Just a few of our men and women who have transformed their lives using Shakeology and Beachbody!

This picture right here is our actual Shakeology catalog.  I am right there, sharing my journey and story with what Shakeology has done for me.  I started off unhealthy and unhappy, but with having some help with my nutrition, support throughout my journey, and accountability in my challenge groups, I have been able to reach my goals!! More goals than I ever imagined!! I never thought I would reach my goal body, and then have to make new goals as a Figure Competitor which I am able to do now!

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!
