Summer of Success in Chicago...my new outlook on fitness

Okay fitness peeps...I was at the Summer of Success Tour in Chicago yesterday, and now have a new outlook on my Beachbody business. After hearing Carl, Mark, MJ, and Craig talk, I have realized that I have stopped thinking about my Beachbody business as a business. I have been putting aside all of the hard work that I was doing in July and the beginning of August that got me to Emerald in under two months. I started to think that other things were important...when really I should have been keeping Beachbody on my priority list. Yeah I'm busy, but am I too busy to help fight the obesity problems in the United States? Since I started my Beachbody business I have motivated so many people to get in shape and put themselves first. Why didn't I follow what I was preaching myself? I know that I have to take care of my family, but I also need to take care of myself. True, I have not become rich through Beachbody, and that might never happen, but why not try to help others while doing something I really love?

I love networking and meeting new people, especially through Facebook. I have met so many wonderful people, so why did I stop? After listening to so many wonderful and inspiring people talk yesterday, why am I not putting all of myself into this business? I have met some skeptical people that think that Beachbody is a "pyramid scheme," but how can it be a scheme when you make no money off of signing coaches. That's right...I only make money through retail sales. The funny thing is that I don't "sell." I recommend products that have worked for me. Whenever I hear about one of the people that I coach even loosing two pounds I feel great because that's two pounds they may not have lost without me motivating them and suggesting something to them that actually works.

Beachbody is the only fitness company that truly works. We are not just selling you fitness programs...we are giving you support and someone that will always be there for you. A good Beachbody coach isn't in it for the money. We are in it to help someone add ten years to their life, help someone loose those 50 pounds and keep it off, help them find something that will finally work, help keep someone accountable to themselves and their coach. I am back in this business full-force...not because I want to make more money, but because I want to help more people. It's so simple, and it took me a whole day in Chicago to realize that what Beachbody is doing is changing lives...building a network of 32,000 people that will always be there to help each other.

If you seriously want to loose weight, get healthy, and have support with you through every step of the way contact me. I want to help you to be happy with yourself and achieve great things in every possible way!!!

Change of Plans!!!

Okay fitness peeps...it's been awhile since I've blogged, and sticking to my exercise regime has been tough since I have been working 9 hours a day with over two hours of commuting. I have decided I'm gonna ditch the hybrid and just do TurboFire. After finishing this round of TurboFire I am going to do a round of ChaLEAN Extreme, a round of INSANITY, a round of P90X, and then go back to the beginning of the rotation. I just don't have time to do double workouts in the morning. Starting on Monday I'm back to Day One of TurboFire.

My eating has been off track too. I have not been tracking anything at all, and that is going to change on Monday. I am going to be back to eating 2200 calories per day with Shakeology for breakfast, a healthy lunch and dinner, and two small snacks per day. I am only going to have one cup of coffee per day and no soda. I've got back into my 170's, so I need to get down to my goal of 155 pounds by February 2011. I will do this, and I will get back into my routine. Now I am going to enjoy the rest of the weekend, and start fresh on Monday!!!

Do you have any new goals? What's working for you? What's not?

Until Monday...

Setting Goals

As many of you know, I have been going through a lot of changes with my career, health, and personal life. I have been spending a lot of time lately with my family and friends...not devoting as much time to my Beachbody business or my own personal workouts. I have one more week at Starbucks, and then I will be starting a new job. I will working as an Initial Assessment Worker in Milwaukee for the Bureau. This is a job that I have wanted to do since starting school for Social Work, so I'm super excited to be starting this new chapter of my life. I have finally gotten my eating and weight into a healthy range, and I'm super psyched about that! I am feeling good, looking good, and lengthening my life line with my new healthy life style. I also have a wonderful boyfriend that makes me incredibly happy and has been super supportive for the past three months (today is our three month anniversary)!!! Everything seems to be on track, so I thought I should set some goals for myself, and why not tell them to the whole entire Facebook community as well as the fans of my blog? I think that's a great idea!!! :)

My Goals:
- I will consume 2,200 calories and burn 2,700 calories per day.
     - I will allow myself one cheat meal a week that I will not be logging.
- I will workout 5-6 days a week following hybrid workouts that I have developed with TurboFire, ChaLEAN Extreme, P90X, and INSANITY.
     - These workouts will be done in the morning (5am Monday-Friday and 7am Saturday)
- I will devote one hour each night to my Beachbody business, planning to become a Diamond Coach by June 2011 (Summit).
     - Sundays will be devoted to family, so that will be my day off from both of my jobs (including working out).
- I am currently at a weight of 169.8 pounds, with a goal of 150 pounds by February 9th 2011 (my 31st birthday).
- I will be running a "Get Fit Challenge" every three months.
     - They will last 10 weeks, and the prizes will change.
- I do currently live with my parents, so I have a plan to move out March 1st 2011 with the location TBD based on what office my job ends up being located in.
- My ultimate goal is that by Feburary 2012 I will purchase my first house, so that my son will have a stable home before he starts kindergarten.

These are my goals...what are yours?

Share your goals with me, and I will help you stay accountable...join my Get Fit Challenge...join my team with FREE coaching!!!

I honestly want to help all of my Facebook "friends" to get fit and find a plan that works for them!!! Message me... :)
