SS Beachboy Cruise - Here We Come!!!

EEEEEEEE!! I can't even contain myself! Today was the registration day for the cruise in March 2016 to JAMAICA AND HAITI!! I know I know, it's over a YEAR away LOL but as we all know time FLIES and now we have a free vacation to look forward to! 

Hold on. Free? 

YES FREEEEEE! Okay, not quite. But as long as I work my job and actually HELP people lose weight and get healthy then YES this baby is FREE! As a coach it's my (dream) JOB to help people get in shape and be the best version of themselves. As long as I consistently help 5 people a month then this vacation is free (they'll let me know at the end of the year how much, if not all, of the cruise is paid for by them).

AS IF I didn't have enough motivation and fun helping people get in shape but NOW there's this?!?! Holy moly, I don't know why EVERYONE isn't a beachbody coach. Friendship, FUN, fitness, financial freedom, and now free vacations!! (Is it just me or did all of those start with the letter "F"?)

AHHH. More to come!!! Talk soon loves <3

Return of TurboFire

    

    So... as much as I love the 21 Day Fix and have learned incredible things about nutrition and portion control... I MISS TurboFire.

Say WHATTTTT?!

Me? Enjoying a workout? 

    The dancing, the pumping, the right hooks & left jabs, and singing along to "PUSH IT real good" have me going back to my original baby! I mean... it DID help me lose 20 lbs so this is DEF a safe choice. Let's see where this plus the 21 Day Fix meal plan take me! I can't wait to show you guys my pictures after Round 2!

    If you want to check out turbo fire, poke around this site here! & if you want to order it with me as your coach click here!

Is Shakeology A Scam?

 

    Hey pretties! I've been getting a lot of questions like this lately - and for good reason! I know when I first started looking into beachbody and shakeology I googled the heck out of this question PLUS some:

• Why is it so expensive?
• Does it actually help people lose weight?
• Is it healthy and safe?
• Will it help me lose weight?
• Is it a SCAM?

    I'm excited to address those questions... well, here we go!

Why is it so expensive?

    Shakeology is a really nutrient dense superfood. That's it! Haha jk, theres more. Another coach has said, “Shakeology is the ‘kitchen sink approach’ to nutrition. Or better yet, it’s the Swiss Army Knife of nutrition! It has over 70 superfood ingredients in it that your body will use to repair, change, and improve itself.” Shakeology retails for $130, but as a coach you get 25% off, YAY! The truth is, at first I thought I was adding shakeology to my budget and needed to "squeeze it in". But once I started drinking it, I no longer had cravings forcing me to spend money "here and there" and I actually SAVED money. Not to mention the fact that I've lost 20lbs and feel incredible. To me, that alone is worth WAY more than that. So.. you're getting MORE than what you pay for & you're giving your body the tools it needs to avoid the Doctors office! ;)

Does it actually help people lose weight?

    Ay yi yi!!! Where do I even begin on this one? Getting down to the basics - when you give your body the nutrients and vitamins that it needs (and can not get on a daily basis from north american grocery stores) your body is able to properly flush out toxins and function at its BEST. When the body is functioning properly and flushing out toxins it's able to get rid of excess weight that it was holding onto in an attempt to "have" nutrients (which really wasn't nutrients at all, it was fat). To help you even more - Shakeology is now CLINICALLY PROVEN to help you lose weight! What does that mean? It means that Doctors secluded it in a professional study, had their contestants change NOTHING about their lifestyle (ex. no working out, still eating poorly) but drank Shakeology twice per day & -- guess what, the average weight loss was 10lbs in 2 months. Pretty impressive for not changing a thing including moving their behind!

Is it healthy and safe?

    YES! Shakeology is completely healthy & safe! It's safe for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, etc. It's actually GREAT for diabetics since it's low on the glycemic index as well. Since I started drinking shakeology my hair has gotten thicker, my skin has cleared up, my nails are stronger, I haven't been sick in AGES and I'm seriously convinced that if I see my doctor he's going to ask "What have you been DOING?!" *In an overly impressed voice* :) There's a ton of more resources on beachbodys FAQ page - and the truth is, I can't list off the 70+ exotic ingredients off the top of my head. But what I DO know, is that Shakeology has changed my life, and I will continue to let it for FOREVER! 

Will it help me lose weight?

    This is very similar to the question above - and all I want to add is this... I've lost 20 lbs (21lbs as of this morning) since adding shakeology to my diet. I've SAVED money, improved my "regularity" and feel 10x better. If it does all that, plus has helped ME lose the weight I gained during my breakup, then OF COURSE it will totally help you!! Trust me on this. 

Is Shakeology a SCAM?

    Absolutely not. I can see why this is floating around since we ARE Network Marketing! (I'll do a post on that later on today). And truthfully, I'm not ashamed at all! I love what we do. We help people get in shape, make a living, find true friendships, and become better PEOPLE! I wish everyone I knew was a apart of this mission, even if they weren't in my downline - because honestly this "JOB" has been a blessing and it's crazy to think I'm making a living doing this! My friends have started making a living from helping THEIR friends! Okay - I'm getting off track here. But in all seriousness, when you buy Shakeology you're getting an incredible product for your money. And if you don't like it after  month - you get your money back. Seems pretty safe to me, right?! 

CONFESSION: I would still be overweight, broke, and seriously stressed out if it wasn't for shakeology. Thank you for reading loves!

My 21 Day Fix Has Arrived!

    WOOOHOOO! I got my 21 day fix in the mail today and I was - NO JOKE - watching the mail lady (from my upstairs window) walk the package to my front door. Creeper? I THINK NOT! I'm soooo excited about this program. I've had friends who've lost 10-15 lbs in their first round, and continued success with more rounds completed AKA this baby works!!

It's 21 days of working out for 30 minutes a day, and eating from these cutesy little containers.

    YES, you duplicate some containers each day, don't worry!! For example, after calculating my calories in the nutrition guide, each day I'll eat:

• 4 Reds
• 3 Yellows
• 2 Orange
• 1 Blue
• 3 Greens
• 2 Purples

    I had my shakeology for breakfast (counts as a red) and my lunch which consisted of a red, blue, + green and I've eaten so much food already! It's hard to believe that it's 3pm... I'm almost not sure if I'll be able to eat the remaining food containers by the end of the day!! (Jeeze, I've NEVER had that problem before haha)

    Everyday the workout is only 30 minutes, which I'll be honest, THANK GOSH!! I mean, everyone has time for half an hour right? You get in, you get out, DONE! I can't wait to do my first workout tonight - "Total Body Fix" Ahhhh, I can just hear my body getting chiselled... just kidding ;)

    Here's a little list I found online from healthyrevenge.com to give some examples of what goes in each container (color co-ordinated). The closer a food is to the TOP of the list, the healthier it is for you. That doesn't mean you should avoid foods from the bottom though, because it's all about variety baby!

    Even though I am a beachbody coach, I had no intention of using the 21 day fix when it first came out in January this year (2014). I already have P90X, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, Chalean Extreme, PIYO, & Body Beast. So... I definitely wasn't in need of a new program haha. BUT - A couple weeks ago I was scrolling through the TV channels late at night (pretty much my regular thing) and I saw "Lose 15 lbs in 21 days." I knew instantly it was for a Beachbody product & CONFESSION: I actually LOVE watching our infomercials. It makes me more proud to work with this company to end  the trend of obesity and change lives! Anways... I was watching the infomercial and was starting to think "WOW, those are impressive results. PLUS, it takes the guess work out of portion control!" Something I've never gotten good at. The whole thing just started to make sense. My mom bought the program about a month ago and she lost 6 lbs in her first week, needless to say my burning desire for this program had been building even before the convincing infomercial. 

    WELL, fast forward to last saturday and I ordered this beauty! I've literally been watching the same infomercial the last few nights since I can NOT contain my excitement!! 

    I can't wait to show you guys my before & afters. I know in my gut this is gonna be a game changer and will be the secret ingredient for me to lose those last stubborn 5lbs. Talk to you soon!

Beachbody coaching VS Gym Membership

So.... I'm doing some research and the average cost of a gym membership is $40 a month... and 3 personal training sessions a week is approx $150... that makes $704 a month to workout!!!???

I did 31(days) / 7(days in a week) x $150 + $40 = $704

Owning your own beachbody business is $15 per month and we get PAID to WORKOUT and help others - the average Star Diamond coach income is $90,746. Seriously folks!! 
A no-brainer for me. What's holding you back?

Want to be a Fitness Doll?? ♥

Hey lovelies!! Today I wanted to talk to you about something that is very NEAR and DEAR to my heart! And that is... COACHING & THE FITNESS DOLLS!
There's so much to say on this topic, and I want to share this with everyone I know since it has completely turned my world around! Before I found beachbody I was overweight, stressed out, bored with life, and TOTALLY heartbroken.
Luckily, once I found beachbody, I immediately started to work on myself instead of trying to change things I had NO control over. I started connecting with like-minded women and focused on personal development books & audiotapes etc. I feel so lucky to say that I'm overly happy with my body now, have friendships I only dreamt of, and have total control over my future. I take my business and my team of Fitness Dolls so seriously that I fully intend to take us to the TOP! I care for each and every doll as though they were my own and ensure that everyone has the BEST chance at success. I owe MAJOR credit to the Bombshell Dynasty and to my coach, Kati, who taught me what I know now. Without her and that incredible team I wouldn't be able to lead the Dolls as confidently as I do now.

I'm always looking for similar women like me who want MORE out of life and want to be apart of something bigger!! You don't have to be in shape, or have a 6pack to be a coach. You just have to be "coachable" and willing to work! If you have those two qualities I promise you the sky is the limit!

If you think this might be something for you head on ova to my facebook and add me! I LOVE meeting new people and I prefer to connect over there since it's more personal & we can get to know each other!! Talk to you soon!

Brazil Butt Lift - Day 1

Hey Ladies! So today I took my "before" picture for my 6 weeks of Brazil Butt Lift. I have to say I am SO excited! I'm hoping to tone up my stomach, thighs and booty. My current weight is 125lbs and I'd like to get to 120lbs.

Day 1 Pictures

My goal body --

I'm doing this journey with some girlfriends in my private facebook challenge group. I have to say - I feel BEYOND blessed to be helping other women achieve THEIR goals alongside my own. Wish me luck in losing the last 5lbs and toning my midsection! PS. If you want to join the next months challenge group add me on facebook! 

How I lost my FIRST 10lbs

Good Afternoon Dolls! 

I want to take a few minutes and share with you guys part of my journey so far. This year started off REALLY rough for me - I had just ended a long overdue and TOXIC relationship, I had gained weight during the "grieving phase" of the breakup, and my insecurity was at an all time LOW. My weight had gotten up to 142 lbs, and TRUST ME - on my 5'3 frame that was a LOT. I decided I was ready to gain control of what I COULD, so I started doing Turbofire - something I already had in my night table drawer but never actually followed through on. 

When I took my "before" photos I almost cried, and whats worse is I was SUCKING IN! I was too screed to see where I actually was physically. Once I started TurboFire, I could feel small changes right away and that motivated me to KEEP GOING! I wasn't perfect though. I missed some workouts and I DEF had my "cheat meals". As the number on the scale got smaller my self esteem GREW! Not because I felt my success is determined by the number on the scale, but because I knew I was actually making positive changes in my life and following through on my commitment. After 45 days I took another set of pictures to see where I was at, and THANK GOSH! I was so excited to see some changes!

Here are the pictures from Day 1 - Day 45

Before - After

142lbs - 132lbs

I lost 10 llbs! And I was not stopping there. Since these pictures I've finished Turbofire and gotten my weight to 125lbs. EEEEK! I'm doing Brazil Butt Lift now and I CAN NOT wait to share with you guys my before and afters from that program! Keep you posted!
