Happy Healthy New Year 2015! Fitness Coach Success in the Making!

2015?? Seriously, where does time go anymore?!? I swear once you have kids, time goes faster and faster!! One thing I am realizing is when you have dreams and goals, the longer you wait, the more you are prolonging happiness and success!! Why wait?? Our life is too short to wait for things to come.... time for us to take that leap of faith and just go for it! 
Since making my career as a health and fitness coach with Beachbody, I have realized I never pushed myself or gave myself enough credit.  Having this career has given me the ability to set the bar high for myself and see what my full potential is. I have reached goals I NEVER thought I was capable of doing... Last year, I reached ELITE, which is the top 1% of the company and finished the year #108 out of 125,000 coaches and this year, I took it again to another level I never thought was possible!
Today I reached a HUGE goal of ELITE for the second year in a row, maintaining my business at the top 1% of the entire Beachbody company, but even better, my rank with my team went from 108 last year, to #25 this year out of over 226,000 coaches! I am pretty darn excited to have built the friendships I have, the physical and financial success I have, but more importantly, the ability to spend more time with my boys now that I am able to work from home! No more working weekends, holidays, and night shifts... no more missing my kids firsts.... its time to cherish every single moment I can with them! 

Im ready to start 2015 out right! How will I do this? Well, I make goals, I make a plan, and I start taking action!! Today, I finished my goal board which was a pretty exciting task on my to do list! When I have goals and a plan with a deadline, it only gives me more motivation to keep pushing and moving in a positive direction in my life! 
Although I did not reach all my goals for 2014, I reached many and I will continue shooting for big goals and dreams and NEVER GIVE UP!!

My 2015 Dream Board!

As a lover of helping others and so passionate about health and fitness, joining Beachbody as a coach is something that completely changed my life... honestly in so many ways.  I am sharing with you all my Dream board for 2015 because everything I have and will accomplish is because I took this leap of faith and went from a full time ER Nurse, to a stay at home Beachbody coach/entrepreneur and only working as a Nurse relief when I want to!

1. Help 300 People- I love helping people.. not much more I can say about that.. it makes me feel good to know I can help someone in some sort of way, physically, mentally, financially, and as a coach, I am able to provide this help to others on a daily basis! Last year, I just knew if I helped 1 person, it would make me happy.... but now its time to pay it forward to as many people as possible.  I know what transformation I got through Beachbody and what it has made me feel and provided me with... confidence, happiness, health, energy, positive role model for my kids, just to name a few :)

2. New Office- Being a coach working from home for 2 years, I will say it has been very tough working from my kitchen... no organization, no time to myself since my kids are always hanging out in the kitchen, lots of food temptations lol, no privacy what so ever! I ordered a desk and was told it wouldn't be made until Feb, so I put this on my goal board a few weeks ago... well I got a phone call last week that it would be done Dec 30th!! So the day after Christmas, I moved my kids toy room into our sitting room until their game room in the basement was finished, did some painting and created my office in 2 days!!! I officially have my own office... my place to work, my privacy, my place to think, and ORGANIZATION!!! WOOHOOO!!! 1 goal REACHED!!!

3. Give More- As Jim Rohn says, the more you give, the more you shall receive in a different way... I want to give not to receive, but because its something I love to do.  I want to give tips, motivation, accountability for people to reach their health and fitness goals, along with providing the skills and knowledge to help people become successful and to reach their career goals and financial goals!

I am big with donating (not anything specific at this time, but many friends have needed help and Im so glad to be able to give and help in any way) and giving to my church!  I am able to do this thanks to Beachbody giving me the knowledge and financial freedom!

4. Read the Bible Daily- I never put God first in my life... until this past year.  I always went to a Catholic church and was brought up Catholic.. I really hope I don't offend anyone, but this is part of my story.  When I went to church, I went because it was the "right thing to do".  When I went, I never understood the sermons or got anything out of it.  There are many rules, and if you don't pay a certain amount, you aren't a member.  I had a difficult time even having my sister as my child's God mother because she was not "Catholic" and paying weekly to a certain church.   

Since finding my amazing friends through Beachbody, they have helped me find what is so great about putting God into my life.  I decided to go to a Christian church and as I walked in, I felt something I never felt before.. Yup, I had the tickle in my heart, the warm feeling that God was with me and this is where I am meant to be.  The most amazing feeling I ever had.  Every sermon speaks to me in some way.  The music is uplifting and relatable.  You are welcome no matter what you wear, how much money you put in the basket, and what your life situations are.  This alone has changed my life, my kids lives! 

I am now committing to reading my bible I got as a gift from my best friend I met through Beachbody and we are ready together daily!

5. 1:1 time with my boys- As I said above, being an ER nurse does not give me much room for all this extra time with my family.  I was working every other holiday, weekends, nights, and then trying to catch up on sleep during the day... just not feasible for me... I hated to miss my son's first crawl. After that happened, I knew I needed to do something. My work hours were not going to get any better unless I make the change.  

So during my physical transformation, I signed up as a coach while working as a nurse and taking Master's classes for my school nurse certification and a 1 yr old and newborn and building a house! Yup, I was busy, but my goals were bigger than my excuses and if I can help people and sacrifice time for a short period, I will gain so much more time with my family in the long run! That is EXACTLY what happened after working my butt off for 1 yr! I was able to go relief and made up my full time ER nurse income! No more nights, weekends, or holidays! I will now be able to watch them get on the bus for EVERY first and last day of school, attend their sporting events and school events, and go on a vacation whenever I want!

Now my new goal is to spend even more time with my boys. Activities, sports, and quality time together! 

6.  Finish Chase & Weston's Scrapbooks- Now I know I'm not the only one who is so behind on their kids scrap books lol!! But I decided to take a few hours here and there to finish their books!! I am doing them up until the age of 3! That means I have 2 years to catch up on both!! YIKES!!! I take too many pictures, but these memories are much needed! <3 nbsp="">

7. 1,000 Coaches in Forever FIT- 

Since I created our team Forever Fit in July 2013, we have 350 coaches in our group! These are other people who love helping others, who love health and fitness and who want to make a difference! My goal is to go big and hit 1,000 members on our team! Having other people join this journey with us is so important to me! I think everyone deserves this opportunity. Now once they have it in their hands, its up to them on what they want to make of it! But for me, Im going big and would love to have others join me and experience all these amazing things that Forever FIT has so far!

8. 15 Star Diamond- This is the highest rank you can get in the company as a coach- I am currently a 7 star diamond coach and what this means is I am building a team and building great leaders- people who have such a passion for changing lives and helping in ending the trend of obesity.  This is not only a great recognition to have in our company, but it shows who we are as a team! Leaders, motivators, success stories, and friends! 

9. SUV- I need third row seating like no other lol!! Two kids, a black lab, and family that lives 2.5 hours away... Constantly traveling around and its getting squishy as the boys grow! My car is paid off and as much as I want to save and not have a car payment, I am going to have to give in!! My treat for my hard work right?!?! :) The bonus to this is I WILL have my car paid off in the year through my earnings as a Beachbody coach!

10. SC 10 Legend- Success Club All-Star 5 and 10 are two great recognitions to have.  Basically this means you are changing lives, you are helping others in ending the trend and reaching their health and fitness goals.  This past year, I became a Success Club 5 All Star.  As of this month, I became a Success Club 10 All star which is the highest you can get.  This year 2015, I want to reach Success Club 10 Legend which is having SC 10 2 years in a row without missing a month! 

A bonus when you are an all star, you earn extra money to spend on our success club trips! This year is Cancun!! Last year we went on a Caribbean Cruise!! Yea, we are treated pretty well for helping people! :)

11. Beachbody TRIPS- I WILL be attending all trips this year!! Our success club trip in Cancun at an amazing resort is in April and I will be taking my family, then July, I will be attending our biggest training called Summit in Nashville, TN!  Then in September, our leadership is for top coaches and very intimate, is in California!  Im pretty sure I have never worked for a company who provides this much freedom for you and your family!! Its pretty amazing! 

12. NPC Figure Competition- I was able to do my first NPC Figure Competition this past year in October and it was such a great accomplishment for myself! If I didn't have the physical transformation, motivation, and accountability with Beachbody, I would not have done this.  Now I am currently training for my 2nd show in Pittsburgh, PA in April! 

Being a fitness coach with Beachbody has helped me so much with my accountability and all the support I have around me! <3 nbsp="">

13. Fitness Magazine- Did I just say this out loud?!?! OMGEEEE I haven't told anyone but my mother this!! But if I don't say my scary goals out loud, I won't make them happen.  Not sure how I even go about this, but I'm a HUGE fan of Oxygen magazine and could only dream of being in the magazine and sharing my fitness tips, meal plans, and success through Beachbody and being an NPC competitor! 

Yea, Autumn motivates me!

So now you have it... you have seen my goals, and every goal here relates to how my success as a Beachbody coach will help me reach every goal on this board! 

I am now looking for 5 people to join this journey with me and start 2015 with a bang! Reaching new health and fitness goals, financial freedom, and helping lots of people!! If you would like a spot in my next 3 week Coach Training to help you learn how to grow a successful business as a Beachbody coach and learn from the top coaches, please fill out the application below and add me on faccebook at Facebook.com/Deidra.penrose

I am looking forward to sharing this opportunity with as many people as possible! Time to pay it forward and share the health!

2015 Healthy New Year, New Forever FIT Results!!

2105- MAKE THIS YEAR YOUR HEALTHIEST & BEST YEAR EVER!!

Did I just not post for an entire week?!?!? Yes!! I took off work and enjoyed every minute with my boys!!!! But now its back to the grind and back on track!! I will admit, I think I had a cheat meal once a day for 3 days lol!!! But, I kept up with my exercising training for my show, so I didn't gain, but needed to lose!! RUH ROH ;)-   On another good note, I stayed away from the cheesecake that stared at me the entire time I was at my in laws!! The home made macaroni and cheese did it for me ;)- 
So here I go!!! I am totally getting ready for a new year!! How about you??!

What am I going to do to make this year the BEST year yet?
1. Set goals for myself- The more you set goals, the better chance you have to succeed... whether its fitness goals, health goals, financial goals, relationship goals, etc.   Make your goals realistic and timely! Putting a deadline on these goals shows they are important and are a priority!
2. Write your goals down- Writing them on paper and telling someone your goals will help you stay accountable for reaching them! I know scary right?!? But if you don't, then it makes it ok if you don't reach them... you are better than that!! :) I write mine on paper and put my goals somewhere where they are always in view... on my fridge, on my phone, on my mirror!!
3. Make a plan of action- Making goals is great, but then what?! In order to reach that goal, you MUST plan out how you are going to get there! Remember, it will NOT happen over night, so its important to know small steps leads to success!! Think about it, eating a piece of cake will not make you over weight over night nor will it give you diabetes, but the compound effect (making it a habit over and over again) will lead you to failure and potentially deadly illness!
4. Make yourself accountable- If you hold yourself accountable, you are more likely to get those tasks or plan of action done! For instance, with my health and fitness goals, I use my challenge groups (support groups) that I check in daily to make sure I eat clean and get my daily workout in! When I check in my groups, I become more motivated to continue reaching my goals!
5.  Find a success/support partner- Find someone with similar goals and work together to motivate each other.  The more motivation you have, the more momentum you have to get to your goals!  I found my success partner with coaching through my team... We talk weekly, tell each other our goals, and help each other reach them! When times get tough and we get frustrated, we vent to each other and the other is always there to lift the other up!
6. Track your progress-  How do you know how close or far you are from your goals if you do not track your progress along the way? As I do in my challenge groups, my challengers take before pictures and measurements so they know where they are starting, along with day 30 and 60 (after) so they can see their  improvements or know what they can improve on!
7. Positive talk EVERY morning- This may sound silly to you, but I swear by it!! Every morning, I tell myself what I will accomplish and I say something positive about myself!! Your mind will make what you tell yourself... For instance, if you say you can't do something, you won't! But tell yourself you can and you are worth it, YOU WILL!! 
8. Motivate yourself- Find a quote, picture, or audio that you can look at and/or listen to that will motivate you when you are feeling frustrated or weak! What a perfect "pick me up!!"
9. Get involved- My way of making 2015 the best year is to stay involved in clean eating and exercise! Nothing feels better than feeling healthy... This then leads to confidence, happiness, and a longer life!
10. Do NOT give up- The only way you fail is if you quit! No matter how long it takes, how many time you mess up, KEEP going!!

How can you start your new healthy lifestyle?
Starting January 5th, I am hosting a fitness challenge 60 days long, that will provide you with daily tips, recipes, motivation, support, and accountability to help you reach your ultimate health and fitness goals.

Whether it is gaining more energy, losing your last 10 lbs, losing 100 lbs, losing the cravings and bloating, tone, build muscle, learn better eating habits, start exercising, or kick unhealthy habits, we've seen success with it all, and nothing feels better than doing it with others who have similar goals! 
This was my start to my new beginning, along with my other challengers and coaches... what has happened since? RESULTS happened!  Now I am looking for more individuals who are serious and ready to commit!
If you are ready for the change, please fill out my application below for a spot in my next fitness challenge and let's kick off your new year the right way and in the right direction!!

NPC FIGURE COMPETITION PREP- BOODY BEAST AND INSANITY MAX 30 WEEK 2!

OHHH man!!!! Ok so when people go to the gym and prep for their shows, I must say from my own personal experience,  you can still kick your own ass and get the same results at home!! I do love the gym, but with my boys being home with me, I just like to save time and driving back and forth by working out at home! Plus its easy for me to get right back to work :) Its like my little workout during lunch break! 

Love it when my kiddos join in on the fun!!  <3 font="">

So I am 14 weeks out currently from my 2nd NPC Figure Competition and I am doing things a little different this time around!! Last show, I did my morning cardio at home with my home workouts FOCUS T25 and 21 DAY FIX workouts, mostly cardio and plyos..... Then my afternoon was my weight training at the gym.  Post weight training, I did my other 30 minute cardio workout (usually high incline, stepper, plyo, or elliptical.  

My before and after of Insanity Max 30 workout! BAHH that was tough!

This time around, I will continue doing my cardio in the morning at home but am following the INSANITY MAX 30 program which is our newest program out by Shaun T himself- high impact cardio workouts, 30 minutes long, no weights required, and is a total body workout! My afternoon workouts, I am following the home fitness program BODY BEAST which is where I get my weight training to build my muscles.  Since I need to focus on my legs, shoulders, and back, I will be doing those 2 times a week instead of 1.  I am not currently doing 2 cardio workouts a day, but starting in less than 2 weeks, I will incorporate my high incline, stepper, and elliptical in post weight training so I will take my DVD to the gym and do it there.  I am pretty pumped that I have my routine down and a good plan set in place!
I am in week 2 of my training and I'm already feeling great!! After gaining 20 lbs back from my first show which was only 2 months ago, I was feeling pretty bad... but so glad I got myself into such good shape that I'm getting back in the groove pretty quick :)
Today was my 2nd leg day and it was suppose to be Tuesday, but I was so sore from my last one, that I needed to rest more!! EEEK!! It was another killer!!!

Come back abs!!

A litte Insanity Max 30 Strength Tabata!! 

One thing I am also doing differently is trying to take myself off my addiction to pre-workout drinks! I use E&E which is our supplement through my company Beachbody, but instead of using 1 or 2 scoops, I would use it over and over as I felt tired, and and now addicted... I also use C4, which is another pre workout formula, and used more than the required dosage... I was using up to 6 servings a day... NOT GOOD!! So I am sucking it up, and moving on to Green Tea! I've been clean of pre workout drinks for 2 days!! YIPPIE!!! I took a 3 hour nap yesterday and literally layer down for almost 6 hours, and today took a 2 hour nap even with 3 cups of Green Tea... I know my health is more important, so even though I'm slacking to get my work done when I need to, I'm sticking through it!! On a good note, after almost not doing my leg day today, once I got going, I felt SOOOOO much better and had my energy back!! Now its midnight and I'm drinking more Green Tea and getting my work done that I didnt do this afternoon ;) Better late than never right?!? 

On to the nutrition part!! Here is my meal plan for the week!!

 My nutrition has significantly improved since getting back on track last week!! This week, even better!!! I have had some pretty good cheat meals when I was allowed them, but I will slowly make them a little better too!! My healthy food is tasting great again and love my chicken and man cakes!!! Im back in the game!!! WOOHOOO!!!

Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Squash

I did make a different breakfast since I added a new recipe to my blog and it was amazing!!! Banana Bread Quinoa!

Last but not least, some of my yummy chicken, sweet potatoes, and broccoli! :)

Banana Bread Quinoa

As I am in need of some new recipes, Im searching and searching for something simple to just throw in the oven and walk away!!  Something easy where I can throw ingredients together and not have a big mess... I mean I have kids and taking care of their mess is enough for me!! 

As Im prepping for my NPC Figure competition, I am trying to think of ingredients I can also incorporate in my diet for now.  

As I am looking around my kitchen, I notice my bananas are going bad, my Quinoa is almost gone, and I have a baggie of almonds sitting on my counter beside my bananas.... And this is what I came up with!!!

 BREAKFAST BANANA BREAD QUINOA

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup uncooked Quinoa

1/2 cup almond milk

1 cup water

1 banana

1/4 cup raw almonds (sliced)

1/8 cup raisins

1 tbsp light brown sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Take 3/4 of banana and mush with spoon in small bowl and set aside.

Mix all other ingredients together and pour into no stick dish (I used a medium rectangle dish)

Take mushed banana and combine into mixture

Bake for 35 min

Let cool for 5 min before eating

Top off with rest of banana sliced

ENJOY!!

Since I am currently doing the home fitness programs INSANITY MAX 30 as my morning cardio and my weight training is BODY BEAST, I am giving myself a little leeway with having the 1/2 banana and small amount of raisins and brown sugar.. After 2 weeks, I will cut out all fruit and most sugar :) 

If you are wanting to commit to a healthy lifestyle and start your fitness journey, no matter your age, size, or fitness level you are at, I am taking participants for my next fitness challenge groups... As a fitness coach, I hold my groups in a closed group on Facebook to have daily interaction with you and provide you with tips, recipes, daily accountability and motivation and tons of support throughout your journey!

The NPC Journey begins- Body Beast & Insanity Max 30!!

NPC JOURNEY 15 WEEKS OUT!!

Today starts an awesome day!!!  Ok so as I was doing Body Beast (by itself) to prep for my show, our newest program INSANITY MAX 30 was released! I am the coach who ALWAYS has to do the newest programs out, but at this point in my career as I am prepping for my next NPC Figure Competition, I can't stop weight training.  When I train for my shows, I workout 2 times a day... Morning cardios when I first wake up, and then afternoon is my weight training with cardio post workout.  Since I am still 15 weeks out, I am sticking to cardio in the morning, and my afternoon is only weight training.  
I decided to not stop BODY BEAST since I need to gain more muscle, but incorporate the new Insanity MAX 30 with Body Beast to prep!! So this will give me my cardio in the morning with Insanity Max 30, but also my weight training with Body Beast!! 
Today I am 15 weeks out for my show. I will follow this program together (doing both programs daily) until I am at my 12 week mark.. Then I will incorporate that extra cardio post workout (low impact maintaining my heart rate around 130 bpm).  

YUP, I totally MAXED OUT with Insanity Max 30 on Sat!!! Today I actually did modifications and got through it all until the end, so Its nice to know Im still kicking my butt with modifications, but its possible for people of any intensity level!!

Here is my workout Schedule for this week:
MONDAY- Insanity MAX Cardio (morning)
                   Body Beast BUILD Chest/Tris (afternoon)
TUESDAY- Insanity Max 30  Tabata power (morning)
                    Body Beast Legs (afternoon)
WED- Insanity Max 30 Sweat intervals (morning)
           Body Beast Back/bis (afternoon)
THURS- Insanity Max 30 Tabata (morning)
               Body Beast Cardio (afternoon)
FRIDAY- Insanity Max 30 Friday Fight (morning)
                Body Beast Shoulders (afternoon)
SATURDAY Insanity MAX- rest day (will do light cardio hills)
                      Body Beast Legs (afternoon)
SUNDAY- REST DAY

Now to the nutrition... My nutrition has honestly STUNK!! I officially have gained 20 lbs since my show in OCT!! YIKES!!!! Someone lost control lol!!! BUT on a good note, I know that this is exactly what I need to push me back to where I need to.. When I have something to work towards, I do NOT give up!! So my NPC show is scheduled for APRIL 4th and my goal that show was to prove that  you CAN use SHAKEOLOGY during show prep... Yes it has 7 gm of sugar, but if that is literally the ONLY sugar you are intaking, it is OK!! HOW do I know?? Because I used Shakeology as my health shake and to get my protein in up until the last week of show prep! Now I did add 1/2 scoop whey protein in with my shake to get a little extra protein, but I love getting the additional super foods and probiotics, pre biopics, digestive enzymes, and vitamins and minerals that Shakeology gives me!

Now that I am starting to really get into it for my show, I will have a meal plan each week to show you what I do! 
Here is this week's plan!

This morning I kicked it off with some PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN PANCAKES with some more PB!

RECIPE OF THE DAY-  Cranberry and Quinoa Salad

NPC FIGURE COMPETITION PREP- Pittsburgh, PA

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to spend time with your family and friends!!!! Now that we are back to reality, its also time to get back on track with your eating and exercise if you were one of those who fell off during the holiday! And just think, we still have Christmas to prepare for!!! One thing I will say is you do not have to lose sight of those goals just because there are temptations in the way! It is important to continue doing exactly what you were as if Christmas was not here! Feeling happy and confident about yourself is important to you right?!? So YOU are the only one who can control if your goals are met or not! 

One thing I do is hold myself accountable to stay in shape! 
If you have been following me, you will know recently (a little over a month ago), I did my first NPC Figure Competition in Harrisburg, PA!! It was absolutely amazing and had so much fun!! Not going to lie, it was hard as hell, but totally worth it in the end, which is why I am doing ANOTHER show on April 4th!!! 
That is my big announcement!!! EEEEK!! More accountability?!?!? YES!!! I need it!! This show will be in Pittsburgh, PA and will be bigger than my first! 
Today is my Birthday and I got the BEST Birthday gift EVER!! My videographer and friend Sarah Yoh out of Chambersburg, PA followed my journey and made me a documentary of my first show!! You are one of the first who gets to see it!!!! AHHH!!!
Hope you like!!! :)

NPC FIGURE COMPETITION

Now that I am ready for show #2 I am 16 weeks out and ready to rock!!! Do I know what I am getting myself involved with again lol?!?! EEEEK!!!
Here is a little sneak peak of this week!!

Leg day!!! Getting back to it with some BODY BEAST!! Body Beast is my home fitness program that is hard core weight training just like your at the gym, but without having to spend the gas money going to and from and paying for a gym membership cause your home is FREE!!!

 :)

I am afraid of certain things.... the unknown, failure, and rejection. But what would you rather have, messing up a couple times and not having the support you wish or regretting you ever tried and not have that accomplishment you dream of?!? I know stepping out of your comfort zone can be scarier, but giving up is even worse!!
Time to step up your game, get over those who don't support you or approve of what you are doing.. Its your life and your goals and at the end of the day, YOU have to deal with your decision and results!

Today was Back and Bi's baby!!! Its time to get pumping!!! 

Post Turkey Day meal- Grilled chicken, sweet potatoes and sprouts!! YUMM!!

Grilled Chicken Salad with some amazing Ranch Dressing with no sugar or gluten!! :)

 I am so excited to start this addition to my fitness journey and hope you can follow me and learn some new tips, recipes, and get some more motivation along the way!!
