NOVEMBER CHALLENGE GROUP OPENINGS

Not bad for NOT FLEXING, huh?
I've was thinking about where I was LAST YEAR compared to THIS YEAR.. and I'm not gonna lie.. I instantly became a little disappointed in myself. But then I IMMEDIATELY told myself to STOP COMPARING! 
Sure.. I haven't been completely firm on my nutrition and I've had more cheats than I would have liked (Summer BBQ's got to me too 
and Sure.. I haven't been 100% committed to working out everyday. Life got in the way for me too!
I feel like I haven't made a DRASTIC change in my transformation.. but guess what?
I HAVE CHANGED! 
I am not perfect, nor do I want to be!!! 
But I have PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION to NOT give up! To keep working on being a better person than I was a year ago... The old me would have already been telling myself that with the Holidays coming up.. I will get started again in JANUARY.. NOT this time!

21 Day FIX!!!

What is the 21 Day Fix???


The 21 Day Fix was created by Celebrity Trainer BIKINI COMPETITOR Autumn Calabrese!!  It was HOT even before it hit the Shelves!!

WHY??

Well… This program was designed to focus on Nutrition!  Not that other Beachbody programs don't focus on Nutrition… But this one specifically categorizes HOW MUCH of the right type of foods you SHOULD be eating.


So.. everyone's heard of Portion Control, right?  Well, thats EXACTLY what the 21 Day Fix teaches you!  How to eat the right foods through clean eating.. and MOST IMPORTANTLY… in the right PORTIONS!  You know that saying "TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING?".. Well you can actually be eat too much of the right foods!
The first 15 days consists of doing 1 workout/day, then on the last week you can do the double : one workout in the morning and another in the evening. The workouts are:

  • Total Body Cardio Fix. Rises your heart rate, boost your metabolism into overdrive for long-lasting weight loss benefits.
  • Upper Fix. Specifically works the back, shoulders, arms, chest and abs for a great swimsuit body.
  • Lower Fix. Works the thighs, calves and butt for the rest of your beach-ready body.
  • Pilates Fix. Uses core strength moves to tone and elongate the torso and tighten up your thighs, butt and hips.
  • Cardio Fix. Insanity cardio workout that kicks the first workout into overdrive.
  • Yoga Fix. Boosts flexibility and relaxes your muscles to keep them in perfect tone.
21 DAY FIX CALORIE LEVEL CALCULATOR
  • The caloric intake will lead you to know the exact number of each container and teaspoons (oils, nut butters or seed butters) a day. The eating plan comes with 4 caloric levels, as you can see in the picture :


The GREAT thing about this program is that you get these AWESOME color coded containers with your package!  So basically, each color symbolizes the type food category you are allowed to eat.
1. Purple - Fruits
2. Green - Veggies
3. Red - Protein
4. Yellow - Carbs
5. Blue - Healthy Fats & Cheese
6. Orange - Oil & Seeds





The 21 Day Fix exercise program consists of 2 DVDs that have 3 workouts out (6 in total). Each workout is crafted to deliver a “massive calorie burn” in just 30 minutes. Every workout is different and increases in difficulty from the previous workout and comes with a modifier so you scale the intensity level of the workout up or down to meet your personal comfort.
From yoga to pilates to cardio, the workouts are well crafted, inspiring, simple and exciting!

Are you READY to take a LEAP OF FAITH???

A year ago I took a leap of faith... Not just for myself, but for my family!

I CHOSE to invest my passion into helping others!  Through fitness and life experiences, I get to help women, moms, and wives become more confident, positive and just happier with life overall.

And while there have been many challenges along the way.. mostly FEAR of FAILURE... I know that I am getting closer to my goals everyday!  Closer to helping MORE people just like me, that want to feel more confident in their own skin.. Want to be PRESENT in their kids lives... and Want to build a GROWING BUSINESS that provides Financial Freedom for their families!

I don't how I stumbled across Coaching a year ago.. However, I am firm believer that someone higher CHOSE this for me!  And through God's favor, I have been given an opportunity to PAY IT FORWARD!  So.. you may be asking yourself.. What does this mean?

It means that I am looking for 3 other women JUST LIKE ME to help grow a business from their home.. that not only allows them to be apart of something BIGGER than themselves.. but allows them gain a sustainable residual income week over week!





I'm looking for women that are:

~ TEACHABLE  Although I would love to accept more than 3,  I will be investing the majority of my time in teaching you HOW to grow this business from the ground up with a SOLID FOUNDATION.. I need people that are coachable and ready to RUN with it!

~ COMMITTED to getting in the best shape of your life in 2014!  If you've already started your journey.. then you are already a step ahead of the game.. If not.. there is NO BETTER time to start than NOW!!

~ FUN & WILLING TO SHARE  Just because this is YOUR BUSINESS... you must be ready to have fun with it!  Treat it like its YOUR million dollar company and be willing to SHARE what you know.. and you will never "work" a day in your life!

Helping others is WHERE it's AT!!!!

I remember reading Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich about a year and a half ago and thinking to myself that I wanted nothing more than to help others… NOT for my own personal gain.. but because its so rewarding to make someone ELSE happy!

I initially discovered Beachbody to keep myself accountable so that I could reach a goal and actually COMPLETE a program… I would have NEVER thought at the time that I would be receiving messages from MY coaches FIRST thing in the morning to tell me that they received they BIGGEST paycheck for ONE WEEK of helping others do the same!!  

My coaches are in AWE because people are trusting them.. to help them...

- To complete a workout program.. 
- To eat cleaner..
- To get motivation for something that THEY'VE been WANTING for so long..




The JOY and EXCITEMENT that my coaches have from seeing their business thrive and GROW has been ABSOLUTELY REWARDING beyond belief!  I could tear up!

Our team does NOT consist of professional fitness trainers or experts in nutrition.. 

Instead, we are made up of stay at home wives/husbands, part time college students, active duty military, full time professionals in Corporate America, teachers, and hair dressers!  We are normal regular people!!

All doing one thing in common… HELPING OTHERS! 

Seriously though.. If you have been thinking about joining.. You don't want to miss out!  It could be YOU messaging me first thing in the morning!!

The POWER of Positivity!!

I remember a few years back when I was in my darkest place.  I was a single "married" woman… You know.. the type that had the title of "married", but did EVERYTHING by themselves.  I took the kids to school, got them ready, went to birthday parties, COMPLETELY by myself!  Oh yea… All while working a full time job and juggling my under-grad.  

But I'm a firm believer that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger :)

During that time in my life, I was a different person..  Not only was I struggling with balancing work and family life… I also battled constant criticism and was abused mentally and emotionally.  

Because of the belittling.. I became negative, filled with self doubt, angry, and lost all my self-esteem.  And really… All because I ALLOWED myself to!  You see, its easy for someone to put you down and slowly strip away at your being everyday.. But when you allow it and tolerate it, You're just as guilty in the process.  During that time… I was weak.  I put up a wall and found pleasure in other peoples miseries.. Mostly because It took away from mine.  

I'm not proud by any means of the person that I was at that time.. In fact, I was very lonely.  And although I had my amazing kids and family… I separated myself from everyone.  I distanced myself from my family and friends.  I found excuses to stay at home.. just so I wouldn't have to be the "single married" person.  

When you consume your mind with something, that's EXACTLY what you become!  I was buried in so much negativity that I told myself all the things I could NOT do… and so.. I DIDN'T!







But after reflecting on my life.. And realizing that I wasn't happy with the person I had become… I decided to make changes!



I remember when I first watched The Secret by Rhonda Burne.  It was as if each person in that Documentary were speaking directly to ME.  Granted, I was skeptical at first of the possibility that ANYTHING is possible.  I mean… I had dealt with so much up until then.  I was in the midst of all the WHY ME's and self doubt.  How is that possible to just BELIEVE in something… and it MANIFESTS?!  If your not familiar with the Laws of Attraction.. It basically translates to YOU ATTRACT THINGS INTO YOUR LIFE BASED ON YOUR THOUGHTS! OR.. LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE!  


It was definitely a hard pill to swallow thinking back to everything that I had been through.  But, it was TRUE!  I had allowed myself to be mis-treated.  I had allowed myself to be talked down to and belittled.  

I had to start making changes!  First within myself!  Before I could fix any of my surrounding situations, I needed to reflect on my behaviors and choices that I had made so that I could correct them.  


Here are a few key findings that helped me to invite POSITIVITY in my life.  

1. Being at PEACE with the past!  First and foremost, ACCEPT the past!  This is the most difficult one because without inner peace, we tend to fall into the "WHY ME" phase.  And if you spend time thinking about WHY things happened, you will never begin to heal.  Now, definitely don't forget what has happened in your past, but learn to accept it.  Only then, will you be able to learn how NOT to make the same mistakes.  

2. Find GRATITUDE in ALL of your surroundings!  Once you have learned to move on from your past, take a look at your surroundings!  Everything from the clothes on your back to where you live to the job you have and the people that surround you.  Though some of these may not be your ideal circumstances, this will be a very humbling experience for you.  Because the clothes you have, may not be designer.. but they cover you and keep you warm.  And while the job you have may not be your DREAM job, it provides for your basic needs.  You get the point… 

3. Give THANKS for EVERYTHING!  This was one that I can honestly say I took for granted.  Once I opened my eyes everything I had been exposed to.. I was able to truly be thankful for it!  And give THANKS for every small detail.  I would wake up and write what I was thankful for and before I would go to sleep, I would give thanks for everything throughout my day.

4. Replace WORRY & SELF DOUBT with Positive Affirmations!  Its normal to worry and have doubts.. but the problem lies when you dwell on those thoughts.  As soon as I would have a negative thought, I immediately would replace this with a positive thought.  This is the hardest one to focus on, but re-directing myself back to gratitude always kept me on track.
