I can't believe that the Holidays are over
already! Where did the time go! 2014 literally flew by in the blink of an
eye. I have officially finished Round 2 of 21 Day Fix albeit injured but
done.
I am currently doing the the Ultimate Reset. I am SUPER EXCITED about
this new Challenge Group! Not only
because my groups have been so successful, but because it’s the beginning of
the New Year! And I I have been over
here brainstorming new ways to provide support and accountability to my
customers! I'm working on a brand new series of Mindset Videos, of daily
tips, recipes, motivation and accountability for you!
I am going to kick off a brand new group on Monday January 19th 2015!!!!!
As I am sitting here thinking about this group and the new year I remember my
days when I used to workout in the gym.
All the newbies would flood the gym in January taking up all the good
machines for the first few weeks of the month and then by February 1st its back
to the same as it was the rest of the year! WHY IS THAT???? I would start out strong, but then I
wouldn't know what I was doing or if what I was doing was going to produce
results, I would workout and then go home and eat my little heart out. Or
it was ALL OR NOTHING eat rabbit food and suffer, workout for endless hours in
the gym. I surely have worked out
enough, I know what I need to do!
However, I didn't really get the concept of clean eating and then when I
worked out for a few weeks and didn't see results I got frustrated and did a
little emotional eating to calm my frustrations! Quite honestly I was
literally undoing everything I had done in the gym and then some. I would
meet with the personal trainer get my customized program and then I was off on
my own to do it! But that personal trainer wasn't checking in on me to
see if I was eating correctly or if my program needed tweaked. Or when I started GAINING (ugh -- yes gaining
weight) he couldn’t explain why that might be happening to motivate me to keep
going! It was a 1 and done type of deal. I felt like fitness and nutrition had to be
this punishment cycle and I MUST just not be strong enough to have my goal
body. It was a vicious cycle. So, like most people, I threw in the towel and went back to my old ways
swearing that I was meant to be out of shape forever and that my body was
genetically predisposed carrying all this weight on my hips and thighs.
In reality, I didn't know that it takes longer than 2 weeks to get your goal
body. I didn't realize that 80% of my results came from my nutrition and
low fat was the only way to go!
So, when I joined a challenge group I was because I just KNEW there had to be a
better way. I had to accept that I
DIDN’T know everything and maybe I could learn more. I still believed
the only way to get results was by going to the gym, eating rabbit food and
sticking to a grueling workout regime. But at that point I was willing to
try ANYTHING to feel comfortable in my skin again.
What I learned after 90 days of a challenge group, P90X, Shakeology and clean
eating is this:
1. 80% of your results come from your nutrition. You
can cardio yourself to death and see no change if you continue to have poor
eating habits.
2. SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY is what made me succeed! Having an
accountability group to check in daily with is what was the game changer for
me. At any given time I could make a post in the closed group regarding
my daily struggles and someone would give me either a tip, suggestion, lift me
up or love on me so that I didn't quit. I felt a sense of peace knowing
that I wasn't the only one struggling during certain weeks. I wasn't the
only one that didn't feel their body wasn't changing fast enough; it was nice
to know that my food cravings and my daily struggles were NORMAL!!! I was
not alone! We were all in this together. I made some of my best
friends through my challenge groups and over time my mindset changed, my body
changed and I finally was a success story!
3. I need a system: I am the type of person that needs
a schedule to follow, a meal plan to duplicate and proven results for me to
believe! I am not the type of person that can make up my own program.
I want to know that if I do X,Y and Z I will get the results of those in
the infomercial. I love that every Beachbody Fitness Program comes with a
nutrition guide to help me eat for the workout I am doing! I love that
Beachbody has the awesome food storage containers so that I am eating the right
amount of food each day. It truly takes the guesswork out of my
nutrition. This is THE HARDEST thing to change and Beachbody does an AMAZING
JOB at tackling that with ease!
4. Shakeology is not a protein
shake or a weight loss shake or a temporary fix. I will be honest, I was
skeptic! I have used many a protein shake or meal replacement before
Shakeology. I was very aware of what some of those shakes did or didn’t
do. I didn't see the value or the
investment in another shake as completely necessary. But I gave it
30 days and much to my surprise I had MORE energy, I didn't have my mid
afternoon slump, I had LESS cravings for sweets and I was staying on track
because it was 1 meal each day I didn't have to think about. It was
quick, convenient, easy to grab and go and I was having more success with
my nutrition because if I was out and about instead of grabbing fast food I had
my shake. If I was running late in the morning instead of a coffee and a
breakfast sandwich at Starbuck’s it was Shakeology! I was saving myself
from all the little things that previously threw me off including a LOAD OF $MONEY$!
Plus it was nutrition that I wasn't getting before. I was healthier, I
performed better with my workouts and now it's has REPLACED my daily
multivitamin. Truly my mindset has changed to a health shake and never a weight
loss or protein shake!
5. Lastly Challenge groups are my way to stay accountable. As
a Coach, I am just as accountable to myself as I am to my challengers. As
a Coach I stay on track because I know I am leading by example. I know
that because I am out here leading the way I get to every single day inspire
others to make a change in their lives. I get to PAY IT FORWARD! When I
started coaching, almost 8 months ago my goal was to help 1 person feel the
same way I did when I achieved my results. This is my WHY and driving
force to continue leading the way with the very best fitness and nutrition
programs I can offer!!!!
So here is the scoop! I'm starting a 30
Day fitness support and accountability group through my online
Facebook private page.
The
requirements are this:
You contact me by completing the application below OR messaging me on Facebook to reserve your spot in the group.
Together we decide what fitness program will best meet your needs. You
are required to do a Beachbody Fitness program{I will help you make the
decision as to what fits you best}
You are required to replace Shakeology with 1 meal each day for the very best
results. My goal is to teach you how to plan and prepare the other meals
of the day so that you get the results you are looking for. At the end of
the 30 days the choice is yours to continue with Shakeology or not!
You must check in daily to the closed online group to rate your day, be
accountable and engage in the group discussion of the day.
That's it! You get to workout in your own home but be connected to me
24/7 for support, fitness, recipes, nutrition and tips!
I am committed to helping you get the very best results possible! Are you
ready to rock it?!?!
