Healthiest Meal of the Day

Have you ever thought about trying out Shakeology or finding out what all the hype is about?

First, I am going to give you the skinny on Shakeology...
 
What can it do for you?
Shakeology is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be. Shakeology is not a protein shake. While it does have protein there is so much more...
Shakeology can help you:
• Lose weight
• Reduce cravings
• Increase energy and stamina
• Promote healthy digestion and regularity
Proven results
As part of the recommended Shakeology program of replacing a meal with one shake per day, along with regular exercise and a balanced diet, some experience even more remarkable health improvements.
One study also showed that participants were able to:
• Reduce total cholesterol by 30% on average
• Reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol by 38% on average
• Reduce cardiovascular risk ratio by 24% on average
• Reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals on average by 45%, which can help decrease the risk for developing degenerative conditions like heart disease, dementia, and arthritis

 
What’s in it?
Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet. It’s good for you—and good for everyone—because everyone’s diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving:
Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.
Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.
Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.
Phytonutrients support immune function and have anti-inflammatory properties. Many phytonutrients have antioxidant properties as well.
Prebiotics support digestive and immune health.
Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.

 
Why do people need Shakeology?
It’s hard to eat the recommended daily servings of fresh fruit and vegetables every day, especially with today’s busy lifestyles. Convenience foods, like packaged or fast food, are so processed that important nutrients have been destroyed. Shakeology helps provide what you’ve been missing, delivering a wide variety of nutrients from whole food sources to meet your body’s needs. Plus, each highly nutritious, low-calorie serving helps to keep you full and satisfied between meals.

Shakeology simplifies nutrition and makes good "cents."
Shakeology costs approximately $4 per serving ($120 a month) for high-quality antioxidants, 23 vitamins and minerals, super green phytonutrients, whey protein and essential amino acids, prebiotics and digestive enzymes, good carbs, and low fats. Or you can purchase each supplement separately, at a cost of about $250 per month.

I don't suffer from Insanity...I enjoy every minute of it!!

For the past 60+ days I have been doing Insanity! Insanity is a 60 day total body conditioning program. Shaun T is such a great motivator, each workout I felt like he was pushing me just that little bit harder. I have had great results with the program...In total I have lost 17lbs. and 7 1/2in. Additionally, I feel so much stronger and have so much more energy!

The cool thing about this program is that it uses interval training to the MAX. Instead of short bursts of high intensity and longer periods of rest he uses long periods of high intensity followed by short periods of rest. I have to be honest, at first it was hard for me to get use to it. However, towards the end of week 2 I began to get in a rhythm with the workouts and kept pushing myself harder. By month 2 I was ready for the MAX workouts and loved those even more. I have never done a workout program where I have felt so empowered and challenged at the same time!

I did have some pitfalls of my own...with 4 little ones running around I stay busy to say the least. I had to push myself to wake up in the morning before everyone else to workout. Sometimes this worked for me and sometimes it didn't Waking in the middle of the night to feed an infant makes it hard to wake at 5:30am for such an intense workout. My biggest pitfall was my nutrition. I can't give any 1 reason why, it just is what it is. I start each day with an active goal to do better then I did the day before. I did have great results but know that I could have had better results with healthier eating habits!

Overall, Insanity is not for the weak at heart but those wanting a true tranformation it does the trick. You have to believe that you can do it, dig deeper, and keep pushing play!!

SO...What is it?

I have had many that have asked me,
"So what is Beachbody?"
"How can you make money?" 
"Why do you do it?"
Here is my answer...

I am going to start with the last question, why do you do it. To do something without a cause is an empty persuit. I started to use Beachbody products over 2 years ago when I was looking to find a workout program I could do from home to build muscle tone. I started P90X and lost about 10lbs and gained a ton of lean muscle. In Oct I gave birth to my 4th child and needed a way to get back in shape and healthy again. This time I needed a complete lifestyle change. I have always been an active person but as life goes it can sometimes get in your way. I wanted fitness and health to become an everyday part of my life. Not just for myself but for my entire family. I started Insanity, Shakeology, and transformed my eating habits. We have had such great changes and results. This is something I love and want to share with others. Whether it is motivation, fitness products, or nutrition...sharing with others has become a passion! There are something in life that with a little encouragement can become so much easier.

Ok the easy question, how do you make money. This is how is breaks down....
First, by becoming a coach you get 25% off all Beachbody products.
Second, others you know that buy Beachbody products from your exclusive site will earn you 25% commission.
Third, when you become a Beachbody club member and each time you log your workout you are entered to win up to $1000! If you are working out everyday anyways, why not be entered to win $$!
Fourth, if you sign up coached under you, you not only build your network you will also start to receive customers directly from Beachbody. These are customers that call into the Beachbody hotline wanting to place an order. Basically, you are getting extra customers for free!
You can do as much or as little as you would like to grow your business. Some start just to get the discount and some start to end up replacing their current fulltime salary!

Finally, what is Beachbody. Beachbody has been the leader in home fitness since 1998. They've created many of the most popular fitness and weight loss solutions, including P90X® Extreme Home Fitness, INSANITY™, Slim in 6®, Hip Hop Abs®, ChaLEAN Extreme®, Turbo Jam®, Power 90®, Yoga Booty Ballet® Ab & Butt Makeover, and Kathy Smith's Project:YOU! Type 2®.
Shakeology® and P90X® Results and Recovery Formula lead our Beachbody Nutritionals® line of products, designed to help you get the best results from your fitness programs. All of our supplements adhere to the highest formulation standards in the industry. At Beachbody, we believe that good nutrition is a must for good health. At Beachbody, our mission is to give people the programs, tools, and support they need to achieve their goals and enjoy healthy, fulfilling lives.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...(Well I'm Trying)

So much has been whipping around in my head lately. When I come up for a breath my focus is "don't sweat the small stuff." So how do you think I go about doing that...especially with such a type A personality. Well it has taken years of marriage, four kids, countless moves and upheaval in our life. I can attest for my family that I haven't come far...but I try! 

I think about this today because while I was having the crappiest day I was also have a glorious day! Nothing really all that different then any other day...
1. My 2 year old (destructor) decides to cover himself in lotion head to toe!
2. My 3 month old (sunshine) starts to giggle for the first time!
3. My 10 year old (princess) has to go to the doctor, well all 5 of us have to go since school was cancelled.
4. Doctor's visit goes horrible because the 2 LOs(little ones) want to cry the whole time and the 2 OOs(older ones) want to whine the whole time.
5. We get home and the 2 LOs have fallen asleep from all the crying so I get 1 hour to have tea and finish my book!
6. The destructor wakes up to find that it has started snowing. The look on his face is so priceless!
7. The 2 OOs are just as excited about the 1st real snowfall this year!

After all that, what is it that you remember?? I remember being there to hear my little sunshine giggle for the first time and the look on destructor's face as he sees the snow fall! Eberything else seems to have melted away. That is how I "don't sweat the small stuff." I may not be perfect at it but know at the end of the day what is really important in my life!

I am trying to embrace the chaos in my life, pick my battles, and know what I can and cannot control. You can take that as a life lesson and a business lesson. When you look back at the past what do you remember those highs or those lows? Most will look back and remember those highs and look forward with a smile on their face!

New Year, New You!

This New Year has brought in a whole new me...(well technically it started in Dec.)

Our family has always done alot of activities but it seems since giving birth to my fourth child in Oct our life has become a whirwind of nonstop catch-up. I was having no time to myself and at constant odds at what had to get done first and what could wait until tomorrow. As this overwhelming feeling began to take over me I decided it was time to change a few things!

Everyone around here has more responsibilities. I have realized I am not the only one here to get things done. We have also implemented a new tv routine. The pholosophy that tv is earned and not a right. They earn 1/2 hour show for finishing all their homework in a timely manner. Which, can be traded for other electronic time. That's it during the week. We have had some uprising about this but I'm the parent right;)

The biggest change has been my dedication to have an active and healthy family. I have put health and fitness first in my life and began a whole family lifestyle change when it comes to eating. So far it has gone well! Fitness for all of us is something that we like to do, the eating part comes a bit harder. Luckily I have my husband on my side who is also looking to change things!

With this new lifestyle also came the start of our new business. Both Kris and I have become Independent Beachbody coaches. We want to take our revelations and share them with others out there. We have both been using Beachbody products for about 2 years and love what they stand for!

Anyways, I hope you continue to follow my blog, all the craziness it contains, and get some helpful information to help transform your life as well!
