Spring Into Fitness

Do you want to take control of your health, fitness, and nutrition?  

If you answered yes, then you're invited to our team's online Spring Into Fitness 30 Day Challenge! 

Where?  Your living room

When? April 18th and May 2nd

So What is the Challenge?

Over 30 days you'll band together with 10-15 other challengers in a Facebook group, with the support of our team of coaches, to complete a full blown workout program in your home.   Everyone will check in daily, support each other through our struggles, praise each other through our triumphs, and make the life style changes you'll be undergoing as enjoyable as possible.

We'll also be focusing on our mindset with this group by going through Chalene Johnson's 30 Day PUSH program.  A free 30 day program to help you get organized, get your mind right, and help you achiever your goals.  While optional, this tool as amazing and has been crucial to my success, and best of all, it's FREE!

Why Have a Group?

Because making these changes and losing weight is HARD!  I've gone through the process myself, losing 25lbs in my last round and 55lbs over all.  I know how difficult it is to stay motivated, especially when your friends keep inviting you out to dinner and then looking at you funny when you order the salad or salmon with two sides of broccoli.  We need a source of support from people who are reaching towards the same goals to keep us moving forward and that's exactly what the group will provide.

Check out why our customers say the group lead to their success on YouTube HERE.

Why I Love Beachbody and My Fellow Beachbody Coaches

Feeling quite sentimental today and this just hit me. 

Every time I plug into a coaching team call (live or recorded) and see the faces of my fellow Beachbody coaches...I feel like I'm returning home. It's amazing to be "surrounded" by people who genuinely want to make the world a better place and see you succeed! To constantly hear stories of how lives were changed. 

 I'm so grateful that I took the leap, ignored my doubts, and signed up as a coach so I could help people change their health just like my coach helped me change mine! There's no way I would be as happy and healthy as I am today if I hadn't embraced this opportunity. True story, bro.

Seriously!  I've never been around so many people who GENUINELY want you to succeed!  Even the million dollar earners that I've had the pleasure of meeting spent all of their time TRAINING us and giving us tips.  They were focused on helping us learn from their mistakes so that we can better help our teams develop and prosper.  

It's insane to be a part of something like this.  Where everyday people wake up asking "Who can I help today", not "How much revenue can I make today".  As someone who was a manager in traditional retail, the revenue goal mentality was my "weakness".  I didn't see customers as dollar signs when they walked into my store, and in the industry I was criticized for that.  But as a Beachbody coach, my focus is on HELPING people!  If I don't have the right solution for them but I know somewhere that does, I can refer them!  I can live my life with a 100% clear conscience because I don't have to "force the sale".  I just have to find out what a person needs and offer them the best solution I can.  Often times it's one of our workout programs and Shakeology.  Sometimes it's not.  

Ah!  I'm gushing!  I just truly, deeply love my team and I love what this company stands for!

If this has sparked ANY interest for you, or if you're someone who wants to dedicate their life HELPING people reach their health goals, message me!  I would love to talk to you and see if we'd be a great fit.  :D  And if we're not, I'll find you a mentor coach that IS a good fit for you! <3

This May Be What's Stopping You From Losing Weight

(Updated: October 3, 2015)

I saw this blog posted in Tiny Buddha and I had to share it!  And add some of my thoughts to it...

"Rather than giving you three tips on losing weight through diet and exercise—because I know you know what to do; you just don’t want to do it all the time—I’m going to share with you the three statements that are getting in your way of losing weight and loving yourself.

1. There's something wrong with me.
2. I need to wait until I lose the weight
3. They are so beautiful. I'll never look like that."

http://tinybuddha.com/blog/3-things-you-need-to-stop-telling-yourself-if-you-want-to-lose-weight/

--------------

I used to say most of what the author of this blog states. This is why I was soo happy that I did personal development during my weight loss and I continue to do it today. I still have some of these limiting thoughts from time to time, especially in the last grouping, but learning how to turn a limiting thought into a positive thought is key to my happiness!

I understand now that I will never look like anyone else because I don't have a twin. Short of someone cloning me or I find my doppelganger, I'm always going to be different from everyone else I compare my body to. That doesn't mean I'm any prettier or uglier than they are. It just means that we're different people and that we can all be beautiful, inside and out.

Now, you may be thinking I'm being hypocritical as a Beachbody coach telling people to not compare themselves to others.  Or when I post body positive material.  However, I do not feel I am being hypocritical at all.  My mission is to help people live healthier lives and to me that means internally and externally.  This can be done with nutrition, exercise, and personal development.  The three tenets of Beachbody and why their programs work to improve lives.  I don't believe that you need to be a certain weight to be called "healthy".  The focus around weight loss is because a little over 60% of our nation is obese or overweight.  But these programs can result in increased stamina, lowered blood pressure, lowered bad cholesterol, increased good cholesterol, and better mood.  If that's not improved health then I don't know what is!!

Also, I firmly believe now that self-esteem comes from self-love and self-love is found by looking internally NOT by comparing yourself to others.  So, don't compare yourself to anyone but the you that you truly want to be.  Not the you that society, your friends, or your loved ones say you should be.  Focus on who you want to be. 

Something you can start doing TODAY to increase your self-love is to tell yourself that you love yourself.  Look at yourself in the mirror and just repeat over and over, "I love myself".  If you're like me, you won't believe it at first.  And that's ok!  Just keep repeating it!  Repeat it in the car, in the shower, while your walking, while you're doing laundry!  Repeat it until it's the first thing you think in the morning and the last thing you think when you go to bed.  And guess what will happen.  Your mind will start to shift.

After doing this for a week, I was standing naked in front of my boyfriend for the first time with the lights on...it only lasted a moment, but it was a big step for me.  After a month, it's no biggie!  As my love for myself grows deeper my self-esteem is getting higher. The day that I am completely madly in love with myself, you guys better watch out!! It's going to be an event!
