21 DAY FIX- Learn Portion Control and Self Control

One of the biggest issues with people not being able to reach their health and fitness goals is lack of control... both portion control and self control.. We go out to eat at restaurants and most places have fried, greasy, and food loaded with butter, plus are loaded on your plate and enough for a family to eat. But, since its sitting in front of us, why waste it right? Lets finish it all! NO, this is the problem... we need to find the strong in us and focus on what and how much we are eating so we know when to stop.  We are full before we even realize, so when we continue eating, those calories add up fast.

We also have a huge issues with emotional eating. We eat when we are sad, happy, mad, scared, etc. but that affects us in so many ways both mentally and physically. Snacking is sometimes taken to a new level and by learning how to eat properly and how to "snack right", our bodies can make some amazing changes!
What will you do to reach your goals?

A little commitment and effort can get you a long way!  What I do is 1:1 online coaching every single day to help you stay accountable and motivated to help you reach your overall health and fitness goals!

READY FOR A 21 DAY PROGRAM TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR GOALS??!!

I am so excited to announce that the brand new 21 DAY FIX is going to be released February 3rd! This is a 21 day program that focuses on portion control, clean eating, and also incorporates exercise into your regimen to help you maximize your results!
Many people think if they workout every day, they can eat whatever they want, but are confused on why they are unable to reach their goal weight/body.
This program is designed to help you balance each important area that is needed to help you achieve your overall goals.
This is like having the best of both worlds... You will get a nutrition guide to help tell you what to eat and when, an exercise program along with a schedule that tells you when to do each workout, and you even get the containers for your food! In the 21 day Fix Challenge Pack, you will also get an entire month of Shakeology in home direct (HD)!

Some FAQ about the 21 Day fix: 

What is 21 Day Fix?
21 Day Fix is a nutrition and fitness program that makes losing weight so simple,
anyone can do it. Easy-to-follow portion control and 30-minute workouts take
the guesswork out of losing weight to help you see results fast—up to 15 pounds

it works. If you’re ready to get serious, 21 Day Fix can help you lose the weight.

Why is 21 Day Fix effective?
Because it’s so simple! You don’t have to count calories, points, or log your food
into diet software. With 21 Day Fix, everything is laid out for you. All you have to
do is use the specially designed portion-control containers and do one 30-minute
workout per day. Commit to it for 21 days, and you’re going to love your results.

The 21 Day Fix workouts are designed

push harder.

Autumn Calabrese is your personal trainer:
Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity fitness trainer, busy mom, and national-level bikini
competitor. She came up with the idea of a portion-control container system
after watching a client eat an entire 1,300-calorie salad in one sitting because it
was “healthy.” Autumn realized that supersized portions were hurting her clients’
weight-loss success because they were eating too much without knowing it. So she
developed portion-control containers to help people see how simple it is to eat the
right amounts and lose weight easily. And as a single mother, Autumn understands
how hard it can be to fit exercise and healthy eating into a jam-packed schedule.
So she created short but effective workouts that take only 30 minutes a day, along
with a simple eating plan that doesn’t require you to spend hours in the kitchen.


What's included in 21 Day Fix?

This is one meal you NO longer have to prep or worry about! If you skip a meal, I suggest incorporating Shakeology once a day in place of the meal usually skipped.. I personally use it for either breakfast, lunch, or even my 2nd meal in between breakfast and lunch.  It works great for me and keeps me full longer :)

I cannot forget the BRAND SPANKIN NEW FLAVOR that came out!! We officially have STRAWBERRY available, and also comes in a box of packets with not 2, but 3 flavors!!!

I know there are many shakes out there and people are jumping from diet shake to diet shake.. As you see above, this is NOT a diet shake or weight loss shake.. this is specifically a health shake and with all the benefits it gives you will then aid in weight loss.  I do not focus on how many grams of fat, sugar, or carbs are in it, but what is in the shake and how it will help your health and wellness and help you achieve your goals with a LONG TERM effect!

Want to join my CHALLENGE GROUP??
Join my closed group on face book where I coach you and give you health and fitness tips, recipes, meal plans, and provide you with the support you need to follow through with your fitness goals!

I post every morning and throughout the day to help you stay on track, but you as a challenger would be required to check in at least 1 time daily to report how your day went... So if you did your daily workout, drank your shake, and rate your food from 1-5, 5 being the best and 1 being the worst.. You also can share what you ate so I can give you feedback and advice or maybe other healthy choices if you need assistance with clean eating.

In the Challenge Group, we also do before and after pictures and measurements to help you keep track of your progress.  Although you may think the scale is important, your inches lost and physical appearance are more important, along with your change in health, energy levels, cravings, etc.  I help you with thinking in a different way, along with building the self confidence you may have never had at one point in time.


If you are skeptical on if this will work for you , I want you to take a moment and think about what has, what has not, and what is or is not working for you.  If what you are doing is not working for you now, what will hurt to try something new for 21 days?? The worst that can happen is your in the same spot you were at this very moment, but I can assure you, if you follow the tips and tools I give you, you will make some amazing changes!

I focus on living a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle and gear away from the diet scene.. If you are interested in joining my 21 DAY FIX challenge starting Feb 17th, please fill out this application below to get a spot in my group and I will get back to you ASAP :)

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!
Beach body, super sat 2014, elite coach beach body 2013, Deidra Penrose, top coach, health and fitness coach, fitness motivation, clean eating, weight loss transformation, Insanity, weight loss, diet, healthy lifestyle, Shakeology
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!

Beach body, super sat 2014, elite coach beach body 2013, Deidra Penrose, top coach, health and fitness coach, fitness motivation, clean eating, weight loss transformation, Insanity, weight loss, diet, healthy lifestyle, Shakeology

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.

Week of Christmas Exercise/Meal Plan

I cannot believe its Christmas already!! Time is flying! I know Christmas is tomorrow and I have been totally slacking on getting my presents wrapped for the kids! I just finished at the grocery store, so I am getting ready to start prepping some food!!
I do want to mention how excited I am so stay healthy over the holidays! Now, I know it is difficult, but I am keeping myself accountable by starting a Beach Body Challenge! I started P90X3 yesterday!! I cannot help but when a brand new workout comes out, to get started right away! Our Beach Body programs have done wonders for my body and health so I have to keep the ball rolling!! Yesterday, I did synergistic and LOVED IT!! Today was agility and again.... LOVED IT!! I love that the workouts are only 30 min each and includes weight training! Nothing like burning calories, even after your workout right?! OH YEA!!


I know many of us do not have time for the gym, nor do we feel comfortable going to the gym.  Many do not want to start at the beginning of the year because you will not even get a spot of the elliptical or machine you want.. This is why I run challenge groups!
What are Challenge Groups?!
They are closed groups I hold on face book (no one can see them but the challengers) and each challenger picks a workout of their choice to follow and drinks SHAKEOLOGY (health shake meal replacement) once daily to help maximize your results! I coach each challenger 1:1 to give tips, recipes, and help with meal planning. I give motivation and support to help keep you accountable for reaching your health and fitness goals!

Why SHAKEOLOGY?!
Why do I require Shakeology?? Well, first off, it is the ONLY meal I can assure you are getting all your nutrition you need in a daily dose.  This is an entire meal, that includes your protein, fat, carbs, and every bit of nutrition you need every day! When I say all your nutrition, I mean 1 shake is equivalent to going to the salad bar 6 times! Your multi-vitamin is included! Crazy right?!? Almost hard to believe! But I am here to say, YES, there is such a health shake out there! Now, please.. I do not compare these to protein shakes or weight loss shakes.. These have way more than just protein in them.. These do not only aid in weight loss... It is the whole foods in the shake that give you the health benefits to make the domino effect that will help you lose weight.. The natural ingredients that give you energy, decrease cravings, improve your digestive system.. this is how your body craves more healthy food, therefor, you end up losing weight, or maintaining your health!

Between following a workout program, clean eating, drinking Shakeology once daily, and having accountability and motivation.. Im sure you have NO option BUT to get the most amazing results!!
I have my next challenge groups starting Jan 6th!
I have 1 P90X3 test group, along with another challenge group that you can pick which Beach Body program to incorporate!  If you are interested, you can fill out my application below.  You can also add me on face book at facebook.com/deidra.penrose

Now, most of us know nutrition is 80% of your results right?! Well, if you did not know yet, you do now!  So, I stress the importance of clean eating all the time! I mean, it is crucial for your weight loss/fitness goals! You can workout 2-3 hrs a day and eat like crap and will not see results! But incorporate clean eating and exercise and you are buying yourself a HOT BOD!! So here is what my meal plan looks like for this week!

I make my meal plans weekly, so I can stick with them! There is NO turning back! Its all about keeping yourself accountable and take action for your goals! The holidays will be over, but those goals are NEVER going away!

Just some tips to keep you on track over Christmas:
1. Pack extra HEALTHY snacks-esp when your away from home, do not allow yourself to have the excuse that nothing is available for you! You are in CONTROL!
2. WATER WATER WATER! Stay hydrated and drink lots of water! If you drink other beverages, your thirst will increase. Water also helps you know when you are really full vs hungry or bored. 
3. DON'T forget your goals! Keep a picture of motivation saying on your phone to look at when your feeling a little tempted!
4. Holidays are for celebrating with family and friends, NOT EATING! Remember the real meaning behind the holidays!
5. Just because you have been eating good does  NOT mean you can treat yourself like a dog! We are human, we reward ourselves with clothes, pampering ourselves, but don't take a step forward and 2 steps back because you felt you did good for a week!
6. Get your workout in early! If you get it done before everyone wakes up or you have company, that is a HUGE task that you feel a HUGE sense of accomplishment with! 
7. Share the health with your family! Make a dish for your family that is healthy! Do not sacrifice your goals, for others! You may be surprised on who enjoys your healthy recipes!!
8. PORTION CONTROL! If you are going to eat what makes you happy, please at least help yourself and use portion sizes! You do not need 2 servings of mashed potatoes! Its going to go right to where you do not want it to... YOUR BELLY!!
9. Just be satisfied with 2 bites! I love the 2 bite rule.. Honestly we all know the 1st bite usually tastes good.. the 2nd even better.. but after than, its EXTRA CALORIES WASTED!  Even better, when you take that bite, ask yourself if its really worth it? Does it really taste that good?!?! Then, make the decision on if you should eat it or not! 
10.  Do not eat 3 hrs before bed. you do not need the extra calories at night.. I mean, your not working out in your sleep right?!? ;)

There you have it, ALWAYS remember your goals, NEVER settle for less, but ENJOY the holidays!!  BE SAFE!! BE HEALTHY!!

BEACH BODY CYBER MONDAY SALE!!



So my favorite part of shopping on the holidays is shopping for good sales!! So since I LOVE helping people out, Im giving away extra $$!!  Not only do we have our Beach Body Sales going on until the end of the day, but I am giving 20$ CASH back to anyone who purchases a Challenge Pack (includes Shakeology in home direct and a workout program of your choice) or Shakeology HD! This sale ends tonight at 12 am!


This is a perfect way to save but still keeping yourself healthy throughout the holiday! I know it gets tough to stay on track, which is why I am running a 14 day Shakeology Shake off starting December 9th! 


fitness support group, challenge group, healthy eating, clean eating, fitness motivation, fitness tips, healthy over holidays

What is a Shakeology Shake off?? 
A Shakeology Shake off is a support group that I run in a closed group on face book and I coach you 1:1 every day by providing meal plans, recipes, and lots of fitness/nutrition tips to keep you motivated and accountable so you can reach your goals and live a healthier lifestyle! 
You replace one meal a day with Shakeology, our health shake meal replacement and I teach you all about clean eating so you can implement healthy foods into your regimen. Shakeology includes your daily dose of dense nutrition, along with your daily multi-vitamin! No need to run to the grocery store and buy tons of ingredients to get the nutrition you need just for one meal, you get 30 meals in 1 bag shipped right to your home with FREE shipping (in HD)! 
What benefits does Shakeology have for you?
In just 1 week, people have seen:
-An increase in energy
-Decrease in cravings
-Decrease bloating
All because you are finally getting all the natural nutrition that you need!  People do not realize, once all that unhealthy processed food full of chemicals is out of your system and you fill it with fuel (the proper nutrition your body needs), you feel like a new person! 
Shakeology is low on the gylcemic index, so it is even perfect for Diabetics! No spiking of insulin levels! I have 2 friends, 1 with an insulin pump and 1 with Type 2 Diabetes, and their blood sugar levels have remained consistent after using Shakeology within 1 month!  
Shakeolgy also helps your digestive system, immune system, and helps reduce inflammation! 
Just a few results from my own customers who use Shakeology said:
"My migraines are almost completely gone and when they are here, they are not as severe."
"My IBS has gotten so much better and I am more regular with my bowels!"
My most recent Challenger that made me sooooo happy was Katie S. who said, "I was diagnosed with hypothyroid 2 weeks prior to starting Shakeology, and at my 30 day mark, my Dr appt was exciting.. My thyroid levels went from 15 to 1.5 and I do not need to get blood work until March of 2014! I also lost 13 lbs with Shakeology and clean eating!" 
Not only has drinking Shakeology and using the workout programs has made a huge difference in my life, but I am now helping others make huge lifestyle changes and improvements and it feels amazing to hear everyone's success with just a few small changes and staying consistent!
If you are interested in my 14 day Shakeology Shake off, or my next challenge starting Jan 6th, message me for details to get a spot! Jan 6th only has 5 spots left, so reserve your spot ASAP if you are serious about getting into the best shape of your life and making LIFESTYLE changes!

A Day in My Shoes as a Mommy and Beach Body Coach!

I want to give you a little idea of how I spend my day.. This is not including working my job as a nurse, but as a Beach Body Coach and as a Mommy! This is my life and I enjoy every minute of it!! I love that I can be  my own boss in my business, and work at my own pace! I can be at home with my kids, and enjoy them growing up!

We actually woke up at 7am.. I swear my kids have an alarm in their head! I got them downstairs and we made breakfast!
I make a healthy breakfast that includes protein, good source of carbohydrates, and simple carbs to get your body revved up for the day!!



These Protein Berry Pancakes are made with egg whites and oatmeal, vanilla, and cinnamon! You cook it just like a pancake and top it off with fresh fruit and drizzle raw honey or agave nectar to give it a little extra flavor!
This is a great breakfast that even the kids love!




Ok we are sooo getting into the Halloween Spirit!! ARE YOU?!!?


After breakfast, I took the boys to day care, so I can work some with Beach Body.  I have a very busy month, running Challenge Groups, Apprenticeships, Cup Challenge, and working a lot with my coaches, along with keeping up with my business center and my hubby's! So kids went to play and learn while mommy does some work at home! I was able to focus and get lots done!!

Got in my workout Turbo Fire (one of my all-time FAVORITE workouts), and burned some calories!
Of course, to get me going, I use my E&E to give me some extra energy!




























After my workout, I got my second meal in... SHAKEOLOGY! My favorite meal and also the healthiest! I get all my nutrients I need that I do not normally get from my every day meals! Shakeology helps with my cravings, energy level, immune system, digestive system, and heart health! I am a huge chocolate fan, so what better way to help your cravings, than actually eating chocolate, but in a healthy way!?  Since, I drink Shakeology, I actually do not even need a mult-vitamin, because my 23 vitamins and minerals are in every shake!

One of my favorite Shakeology recipes is Vanilla Almond Fudge!!

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
12 oz ice
8 oz almond milk
1 tbsp Almond butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
BLEND and ENJOY!!



I was able to get some work done and of course before you know it, lunch is here! I feel like all I do is eat half of the time lol! But I am definitely keeping my metabolism going that is for sure!!
For lunch, I had a HUGE Greek Salad!! I add lots of feta, kalamata olives, and by the time I add those in, my calories are about ran up for that meal!! I also make a home made Greek Dressing that is in my Clean Eating Recipes tab! It is soooo absolutely easy to make and amazing in taste!!
Back to work I go.. I had phone calls with coaches and potential customers.. Read my personal development, which not only helps me and my business, but me as a person! My job is so much fun! I communicate with lots of people who want to be healthy and have the same hobbies I do! It a happy environment and love it!  I checked in with all 4 of my challenge groups and made sure they are all on top of things!! 
As I finish up with my work, time to pick up the boys and go to the pumpkin patch to enjoy QT with the family!! The boys loved picking pumpkins (although they wanted all of them lol) and set them out outside! On my way to the pumpkin patch, I ate my snack.. Raw peppers and hummus and a light string cheese!! Perfect for the car ride!!











I love that my Beach Body job gives my the ability to stop what I am doing, to take my kids places and spend time with them as I need! I have no one to answer to and I make my own hrs and work! I will not be that mother who is working so much, she misses out on opportunities with kids and holidays! Not anymore at least! As a nurse, I was working 12 hr days, every other holiday, lots of weekends, and missed out on lots.. I now am part time, and 1 holiday a year with my nursing job.. With Beach Body, I work when and where I want!
My kids come first and I am soooo glad that I can finally show it!!
Ok dinner time!!

 How about some Black Bean Burgers on 100% whole wheat buns and baked Parmesan Zucchini!! So it was my first time making the Black Bean Burgers and the taste was great! I honestly was not a fan of the texture though.. I think it was because I am used to biting into a burger that is thicker and harder to bite down on and chew, rather than soft beans that are already mashed..
I guess my black beans will stay in my chili and black bean, corn, and edamame salad!!



 After dinner, clean up, kids for a bath, and story time, and relax time!! It was a great and successful day, and ready to hit the sack for another great day tomorrow!!  Kids to bed at 9pm, and time to check in with my groups one more time before I hit the sack!!

As a mommy of 2, 2 1/2 jobs (also a school nurse relief), and a wife... I still make time for what is important to me.. My health! If I do not stay healthy, my husband and kids are most likely not going to make the healthy choices that I would.  My husband does not cook, so they would probably live off of cereal and mac n cheese!!
I have to be a role model and lead by example, how to live healthy, and successful, so they can grow up and do the same!
