P90X3 Officially Released!

Today definitely feels like Christmas! I have a slight obsession with all Beach Body programs, but I'm especially excited for P90X3! Every workout program I used has given me great results, but this time is different. It has literally EVERYTHING I want and need in a workout!
WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUTP90X3?!?

  • The workouts are 30 min long, 6 days/week- You do NOT need to be at a gym for 2 hrs.. It is not the time that gives you the results, but the effort during that time that gives you your results!
  • You get to use weights- using weights helps burn more calories, even when your body is at rest! Talk about increasing your metabolism!
  • You do not have to travel anywhere! This is all done in the comfort of your own home!
  • There are 16 DVD's- No more getting tired of the same old and hitting a plateau... you have tons of workouts to use to keep tricking your body so you get the best results!
  • This is a 90 day program. You do NOT need 2 years before actually seeing your results.. You will have them in 90 days, along with making a new lifestyle for yourself and family!
  • Inexpensive- No gym membership! You pay a 1 time fee and its yours FOREVER!!
  • No paying for a personal trainer- If you sign up on Team Beach Body, you can add me as your FREE coach by putting in my information at the bottom where it asks you about having a coach (email me and I will help you get started). I will help you along your journey by giving tips, recipes, and motivation to keep you on track!

Sounds AMAZING right?! I want to let you know, you do NOT have to complete P90X or P90X2 before starting P90X3... They are different workouts, and this is used for all challengers of any level of intensity!  You can be a beginner and use all the modifations that are given to you, or as an expert, you can challenge yourself by doing all the advanced moves!

If you want motivation and accountability to help you reach your goals, you can have a spot in my exclusive P90X3 test group starting Jan 6th! I will coach you 1:1 in a closed group on facebook and give you lots of recipes, meal plans, health and fitness tips, but more importantly, keep you motivated to make your transformation and get into the best shape of your life! In my group, you will be required to follow the P90X3 program, along with drinking SHAKEOLOGY, our health shake meal replacements in place of one meal every day for the duration of the challenge. Shakeology is going to give you a daily dose of dense nutrition all in one shake. Think of this shake as going to the salad bar 6 times! That is a lot of veggies and nutrients! 

Here is a great video to help you see what Shakeology will actually do for your body and health!

If you would like to get both P90x and Shakeology together, you can actually get the two in a challenge pack together for a discounted price! For the month of December ONLY, you can get this challenge pack for 70$ off and FREE shipping. You also get a P90X3 hat! This is everything you need to get started... 
You get your workout program with a schedule, a nutrition guide, 1 month of Shakeology in home direct (HD), and 1 month trial of the Club Membership. The club membership gives you access to customized meal plans with a grocery list, live chats with celebrity trainers, and 10% discount on ALL products! Pretty nice huh?! 

Oh, I want to share this nice piece of info with you before you go! If you are wondering if my challenge groups really work, here is a little idea of how successful they are! These are my actual challengers who have made it through last month's 30 day clean eating/Shakeology Challenge!

This gives me chills!! This is why I have a passion for helping people! Getting to watch these amazing transformations is so rewarding!

Weekly Meal Plan, Exercise, and Goals!

I cannot believe the end of September is here already!! Although I love summer, I am really looking forward to watching the leaves fall, and dressing my boys up to go to pumpkin patches and hay rides!! I just went this morning to get one of my sons' Halloween costume that is sooo adorable, but of course he will not try it on!! AHHH! 

So other than my family time I am excited for, I am also ready to begin another awesome week of staying fit and maintaining my health and appearance! Every Sunday, I make a meal plan for the entire week, I make a grocery list, and go to the store and get everything I need!  After I get home, I am on a mission to cook all my food! I love doing easy snacks and meals because it saves me hours in the kitchen and I can take that time and put it towards time with my family! So in reality, I literally just took from 9 am until 130 pm to do everything and now I am worry free for the week!! 


Meal planning has been one of the best things I could have ever started because it sets me up for success, and gives me NO excuse to miss a meal, or fall off the wagon!! Everything is right in front of me!! 
Here is my plan for the week: As you see, I make a couple meals and just use them a few times so I am not wasting food, but saving money!!

I made more than enough Chicken Alfredo with spaghetti squash for my husband and kids to eat today for lunch and they literally ate every bit on their plate!! I love being able to cook healthy for my family and they do not even realize it! 





Another meal that I made today was simple, hardly any work at all, but healthy! Crock Pot Black bean and Sweet Potato Turkey Chili! You literally throw ingredients in and walk away!! These are the kind of meals I like! I usually do an easy recipe with another that requires a little more work, so it evens itself out!



One of my favorite meals that is easy and convenient, especially with my busy schedule with 3 jobs, kids to daycare, exercise, and other family tasks, I use SHAKEOLOGY!
Shakeology is a meal replacement shake that gives you all the nutrition you need in just 1 meal! You get your servings of fruits and veggies, your multi-vitamin (yes, no more buying multi-vitamins), and is ALL natural, NON-GMO, Gluten FREE, and even low on the glycemic index, so diabetics can use this shake and improve their blood sugars and A1C!! 
I have used shakeology once daily for the past year, and never gone away from it,  Within 2 weeks, I felt an increase in my energy levels, and my digestion improved, along with my cravings subsiding! 

What other benefits does Shakeology have:
  • Increase in energy
  • Improve your digestion
  • Improve your immune system and immune response
  • Curb your cravings
  • Lower your blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Improve heart health
What nutrients are in Shakeology that help so many different areas?
  • Proteins and amino acids: Help build lean muscles, heals wounds, improves skin and hair, supports optimum brain function and mental clarity, reduce cravings, and improves your mood
  • Antioxidants: helps reduce damage in the body caused by free radicals and lowers the chance of heart disease, high blood pressure, dementia, and arthritis
  • Phytonutrients: Helps boost immune system, helps fight diseases, detoxifies the body with alkalizing agents, slow the aging process
  • Adaptogens: Protects the body from stress and helps balance endocrine hormones and the immune system
  • Prebiotics: Helps promote better intestinal health by aiding the digestive process
  • Digestive enzymes: Helps the body break down foods and increase absorption of nutrients
Pretty intense right?! 
Since 70-80% of your weight loss and health goals come from nutrition, it is highly  important to eat clean, and get the proper nutrition every day.  This is one meal every day I do not have to ever worry about! No shopping at the store because it comes to my front door every month. No need to cook 1 meal, I throw it in a blender and drink it! 
If you are interested in starting Shakeology as a part of your daily nutrition, go to: www.myshakeology.com/deidrap8

If you are looking to not only improve your nutrition, but get into a great exercise and healthy routine, you can join my next challenge group starting Oct 14th! You get 1:1 coaching with me to help you learn everything you need to know about clean eating, exercise, and living a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. My groups are 60-90 days long and is a perfect way for you to reach your ultimate health and fitness goals!  
This is a great way to get the support and motivation to keep you going. Sometimes the gym keeps you at a plateau and you don't see the results you want, no matter how long you work at it. 
Switching your routine up may be what you need and from experience, tricking your body is the best way to reach your goals!
