End of Year Resolution Challenge Group

On Friday, I went to a training in Pittsburgh with my coach. This was a special training with the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler. He gave us a ton of great information to help us run our challenge groups and to help us build our businesses.

While I was there a few things really stuck out to me. The first being, you need to be your own success story. I have been a challenger and I occasionally I like take off my coach hat and go back to being a challenger. As of tomorrow, I'm going back to a challenger. I will be completing the 21 Day Fix, starting with a 3 Day Refresh to kickstart my challenge.

The second thing that he said that really stuck with me was that most people make "new year resolutions"... why wait until January 1st to feel better about yourself? He also challenged us to have an "end of the year resolution".

With that said, I am looking for 5 men or women in the month of November and 5 men or women in the month of December to complete my End of the Year Resolution Challenge!

For this group, I want people who are ready to work! I want people who will give me 30 minutes a day in order to have a healthier, leaner body by July! I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. You don't want to wait until bikini season comes knocking on your door to want to get started. It takes 21 days to create a habit! Allow me to teach you my tips and tricks for a healthy summer!

I'm opening this group up to 5 new clients, but I will also allow ANYONE who has been in one of my challenge groups before to join. You see, the holiday seasons are among us and this is the time when most people fall off track. I want to help you stay on track over the holidays and help you make an END of the year resolution, rather than a new year one! I will be working on how to manage your time to get in your 30 minute workout, while still eating clean with portion control and still being able to handle all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays!

What are the benefits of a challenge group you may ask? Why can't I just do it on my own? 

• You will be in a SECRET group. This means, only you and the members of the group will know it even exists. 
• You will get an access code for the My Challenge Tracker App that is specific to YOU! 
• I expect you to check in daily rather it is good or bad. It is a safe zone! We are all working towards similar goals. It's okay to have a bad day! :) For some reason, people are really afraid of this. DON'T be! I promise this is a very supportive place. We are all working through our daily struggles and we are everyones biggest fan. 
• You will share your victories and your struggles for the day. This way, we can see where we need to adjust and we will work from there. No one is perfect. I have my struggles too. The key is figuring out how to get over there. 
• You will be asked to follow a meal plan. It will not be easy at first, but I will teach you my tips and tricks to get you were you want to be. I will give you my best apps to plan and shop with. 
• You will receive a months supply of Shakeology with your challenge pack. You will be asked to drink one shake a day. (Some people ask if they can drink more than one and the answer is YES, but don't do it every day! There are a TON of vitamins and minerals in the shakes-- it's not good to not get the vitamins that you need, but it's equally bad to get too many in a day!) 
• You may be nervous about this, but don't be. If you don't like it, within 30 days, you can return it for your money back. Out of the hundreds of challengers I have worked with, I have only had 3 return it! 
• You will want to stick to the workout calendar! It is set up so you are working different muscle groups to get the best results quickly. It is designed to give you the best results in the quickest way possible. 

The trick to being successful in challenge groups is participation. It sounds funny, but as badly as I want these results for you, I can't want them more than you do. The more you put into the group, the better your results will be in the long run. I have found my challengers who check in frequently and who are active members get the BEST results!

If you want me to teach you what I've learned along the way about being a busy person, but still making time to take care of myself, let me know! I'm more than willing to help you! I would love to have you in any of my upcoming groups!

Want to Make A Bet!? ... A Beachbody Health Bet That Is!

So Beachbody started the pot off with $1,000,000. All August, they have been adding to the pot by taking $5 from each challenge pack that was sold! They are capping the bet at $3,000,000! What they are going to do, is split this pot between everyone who completes the bet!

I'll personally add you into my Beachbody Health Bet group in the My Challenge Tracker App.
Starting September 5th, everyone who logs at least 5 pictures of their Shakeology and logs 3 workouts a week. If you consistently track your shakes and your workouts for the entire month, Beachbody will send you a check!

I've been asked if I know how much the pot is worth... I don't know yet! There are people purchasing their challenge packs like crazy to help build up the pot! The amount that you will receive will depend on how many people are actually going to follow through with the Beachbody Health Bet!

If you'd like more information or you need help getting your challenge pack, please contact me ASAP by email or by filling out the application below. I will be in touch shortly. Click here to sign up to have me as your coach!

Flashback Friday: Casey's Story

I'm sooooo excited to share this transformation story because it is more than inspiring. I have challengers who lose a bunch of inches and a bunch of pounds and I couldn't be more proud. I want to introduce you all to Casey.

Casey found me through Instagram and she wasn't financially able to invest in herself at the time. She actually asked her mom for a mini loan of $140 to purchase her challenge pack. --- I get this. I remember trying to justify spending the money on my challenge pack when I first knew they were available. In the challenge pack, she got everything she needed for her new lifestyle. She got a workout for each day of the week, she got a daily dose of nutrition with a months supply of Shakeology. She got color coded portion control containers that would help her learn proper portions of what she needed to be eating on a daily basis.

She also gained access to our exclusive challenge group. She was able to participate and ask questions and, as you can tell from her before and after pictures, she KILLED IT!!!! Below, you will see her journey as she tells it as she goes. This isn't a comfortable topic to share or talk about and I'm thrilled that she finally is ready to share! 

The day before the challenge, I had my challengers take their "goodbye", before, pictures. Casey went above and beyond and made a secret video journey that she was hiding for when she was ready. Well, she is ready to share now because she knows that it had an AMAZING impact on herself. There were some parts of the video that really stood out to me. Casey stated in her video "I've been able to become a master at hiding what I hate about myself, what makes me disgusted about myself when I'm alone." I feel that there are a TON of people out there that can relate to this! I feel like we are all masters at pulling ourselves down at times; however, we also know how to hide our insecurities.

Going back now, and watching these videos truly makes me not only inspired, but also makes me so proud of how far she's come. In this second video, just 1 week into the challenge, Casey has completely changed her tone. She is excited to make videos. She was excited to share her journey so far. She gained not only strength with her workouts, but she also gained a crazy confidence in herself again. While you watch the second video, you will see what I mean. Once of my favorite parts is when she shared that she is down a pants size. She says: "That means I lost an entire pant size... in a week... AN ENTIRE PANTS SIZE!"

The third and final video I want to share with you is her half way mark in her journey. Casey is excited about her changes and she come home with a positive report from her doctor.  She was down not only a pants size, but she was down between 7-8 pounds. Her first goal she wanted to hit was to lose 10 pounds. She was excited because she was starting to burn fat (and notice it) and start to build muscle. She has a completely new glow to her.  

Talking to Casey recently, she told me to just look at her face in the pictures. The first set of pictures you could see it in her eyes how unhappy she was. You could tell she was hiding it, but we never really noticed it before. She also pointed out that she is much more confident with herself... I mean, how could you not be. I could not be more proud of this girl. Not only has she killed her own journey, but she is also helping others push to their goals starting with one of her best friends! :) 

If you can do anything for 21 days, it will quickly become a habit! My grandma always told me to take it one day at a time... Take your fitness one day at a time. You will always be better than you were yesterday!

Clean Stuffed Pepper Soup

I love a good stuffed pepper, but I never eat the actual pepper. So my solution to getting my stuffed pepper kick out of my system is this delicious stuffed pepper soup.

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked brown rice (about 4 servings if you use minute rice)

1 lb 95% lean ground beef

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

3/4 cup finely diced onion

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 large can petite diced tomatoes no salt added

1 3/4 cups tomato sauce (medium size can)

2 cups reduced sodium, fat-free chicken broth 

1/2 tsp dried marjoram

salt and fresh pepper to taste

Directions:

In a dutch oven (or a large pot) brown ground meat on high heat. Once brown and if necessary, drain any fat from the pan.

Reduce heat to medium-low, then add peppers, onions and garlic. Cook about 5 minutes on low heat.

Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, marjoram and season with pepper to taste. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.

Add about a 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice to the bowl. Add about 1.5 cups of soup in each bowl.

Work + Dreams = Success

Every quarter, Beachbody holds an event that allows you to build momentum and hear tips and tricks from successful coaches.  During these events we are also informed of upcoming advances in the business. We are able to get sneak peaks into the new workouts and we are able to sample the new products. In the cup below is the NEW Cafe Latte Shakeology that is being released TOMORROW (Monday, January 11th, 2016)! I must say, it is pretty dang DELICIOUS! Sorry Starbucks. Sorry Sheetz. I have my own barista now! :) 

We are also able to experience many fabulous speakers such as Carl Daikeler, CEO of Beachbody LLC, and Autumn Calabrese, celebrity trainer and creator of 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, AND the famous "chisel" from Hammer and Chisel!

We are able to workout as a group, too! Let me tell you one thing. If you think you need some motivation, put yourself in a room with 1,000 other people and see how far you can push yourself. You will surprise yourself with how strong you are when a thousand people are watching you. 

Saturday was ANOTHER full day for building my business. But it didn't get started until we had a group workout. I'm not going to lie. 7 AM was rough! It was not easy to get up and get started after a late night before and finishing a crazy workout with Kam only like 10 hours before that! 

The morning was filled with wonderful speakers in a Q&A panel format. We were able to get tips and tricks to take back to our teams to help build our business. The morning ended with my upline coach talking about Failing Forward. 

I have been with that girl from the beginning and I could not still be here without her love and support. I've told her before as long as she believes in me, what I do, and most importantly herself, we will be here together until the end!  

Later that night, we celebrated our successes from 2015. My evening started with a dinner at Hyde Park Place with the other Diamond coaches on my team.

 

With a little help from Waze, I got us safely to and from the Omni to Hyde Park Place and then to Consol Energy Center to end the night with the Dream Team Party!

Throughout the night, we were able to mingle with other coaches, dance, and even sing some karaoke. There is nothing better than celebrating something that you have worked so hard for throughout the last year!

So let me ask you this... Why not you!? Are you interested in getting happy and healthy and getting some extra cash on the side? It is possible! You just have to take it one day at a time.
