My exercise regime...and my health

I've been working hard on my 101 Goals, and it's tough! I've written about 20 goals so far...still working on them!!! I've had a crazy weekend, and I've had to deal with some health issues this weekend.

I went to a TurboKick certification yesterday, and it was AMAZING!!! I burned about 2,500 calories, sweated gallons, and learned so much!!! After the certification I was feeling pretty horrible. I had an extreme migraine, fever, and stomach cramps. I tried to get through dinner at the Olive Garden with my boyfriend, but I started to feel worse and worse. As I was driving home I felt so bad that I actually had to call my parents so they could meet me and drive me home. When I got home I took a quick shower, some meds, and was in bed by 9:00...I slept this morning until 10:00...feeling much better.

Even though I was feeling better today, I had to skip my Yoga X this morning. I did jump on the scale this morning, and I lost another 1.2 pounds!!! That means I've lost almost 3 pounds in less than two weeks of P90X...amazing stuff!!! Since my P90X schedule is slightly off I'm going to restart Week 2 of P90X on Thursday. Tomorrow I am going to do TurboKick Round 41, Tuesday I am going to do Kenpo X, and then Thursday I'm going back to starting Week 2 with Core Synergistics. I am hoping to loose a total of 10 pounds this round of P90X and loose tons of inches! Then I'm moving on to a whole round of TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme hybrid...with a goal of loosing another 10 pounds. Then it will be time to try a round of INSANITY with my last 5 pounds and toning complete!!! :)

90 Days to Diamond and P90X - Week 3 almost complete!!!

I said that I would be blogging mid-week...and I guess this is mid-week...lol! It has been a good past seven days...I've signed three new coaches in just one week!!! Beachbody CEO, Carl Daikeler, wants to get us to 1 million coaches...and we're only at around 35,000. Therefore, we need to get a lot more coaches. If you are interested at all in signing up to be a coach...it is FREE COACH SIGN-UP right now!!! I am making my solemn vow to help every single coach that signs up under me get to Emerald within 30 days. Emerald means...customers referred to you through Beachbody, 25% commissions, and team cycle bonuses. This is an amazing opportunity! I got to Emerald within 30 days, so I know exactly how you can do it too. Did I mention...25% OFF BEACHBODY PRODUCTS including SHAKEOLOGY!!! I want to get my full team up and running before Christmas when the rush for Beachbody products happens. Message me for details...this is only for a limited time!!!

I'm also going to talk a little bit about P90X and my upcoming TurboKick certifiication tomorrow. Also, stay tuned for my video blog after the certification tomorrow...I thought I would mix up my Vlog location a little bit. P90X was great this week. I unfortunately took two rest days, but I've kept my new P90X weekly arrangement well, and will be back with Yoga X on Sunday. This week I did Plyometrics, Core Synergistics, Shoulders and Arms, and Ab Ripper X. I'm seriously looking forward to my Yoga on Sunday...especially after all the calories I plan on burning tomorrow during my TurboKick certification.

I am slightly nervous about my TurboKick certification tomorrow. I haven't done any Turbo in about a month...slightly scary. Luckily fellow Beachbody coach Kristina Sullins will be running the training...excited about that...maybe a little bit of Beachbody exposure with some logo wear in Chicago tomorrow. I did use part of this week's Beachbody check to purchase the P90X half-zip pullover that I've been wanting...excited for that piece of logo wear!!! Most people probably don't know this, but I've set a goal (maybe a two-three years from now) to be making enough money through Beachbody to quite my full-time job. I have my Zumba instructor certification, am working on my Personal Trainer certification, and will be getting my TurboKick instructor certification this week. A few more certifications in mind for the next few years...and then fitness will be my full-time "job!" That's the goal at least...and I plan on succeeding.

Another plan for tonight...continue working on 101 Goals that I learned from listening to Jack Canfield's "The Success Principles" on audio during my commute. My goal is to have them finalized by Sunday or Monday so I can put them in my next blog. That's it for this Friday night...everyone enjoy your weekend!!!

90 Days to Diamond and P90X - Week 2

Hey everyone!

I know this blog is one day late, but yesterday was full of tons of coach contacts...helping my team build!!! This past week of 90 Days to Diamond and my first week of P90X is complete, and I couldn't feel better about how everything is going. I signed two new coaches on Saturday, and they are going to be fantastically successful. I now have eight amazing coaches on my team, and I am super pumped to help each one of them become Emerald so that I can become a DIAMOND COACH!!! My goal is to do it within 30 days...let's say by Thanksgiving!!! I know that each one of them is capable of achieving this goal...I am totally a pround "parent" for all my coaches. I have been talking to a lot of my friends and family...trying to show them how much Beachbody has changed my life. It's all about changing lives...reversing the trend of obesity...helping America to get fit and live long lives!!!

There are so many great things going on with Beachbody! There is free sign-up for coaches now through December 31st. That means that the $39.95 start-up fee is waived...a great time to sign up for Shakeology and get $30 off!!! They are also reformulating P90X Recovery Formula and P90X Bars...taking the high fructose corn syrup out! Beachbody also plans on going global with coaches soon in Mexico...still working on Canada! P90X is going to be offered in Spanish, so how awesome is that!!! Beachbody CEO, Carl Daikeler, is looking to have more millionaires in this business than any other business...we are talking big global expansions. There is going to be more specifics of all these things talked about throughout the week, so keep your eye on my blog and my Facebook page for more details.

On to my person fitness...I just finished Week 1 of my second round of P90X. I must say I love Cardio X and Kenpo X...with Yoga closely behind it. I have always hated Core Synergistics...hate those push ups, and Legs and Back was tough for me. I forgot all about those wall squats that literally "kill" me and makes my legs shake. I must admit...I am a wimp and don't do the pull-ups with a bar. I use the modification of resistance bands, and I'm loving that part...it's just those darn wall squats!!! I am kind changing things up a little bit. I was unable to get and P90X in this morning, so tomorrow I am going to try the Plyometrics. The P90X Lean program doesn't call for Plyo, but I really want to give it a try. Then I am going to have my usual rest day on Wednesday, and start up on Week 2 on Thursday. In my first week I kind of had the workouts mixed up because I didn't have time for the 90 minutes of Yoga until the weekend. Starting each week on Thursday will be helpful so I can follow the schedule exactly...have my rest day in the middle or my week...and do my Yoga on Sundays. Sounds like a great idea to me!!!

Finally, I am going to talk about Celiacs Disease. Yes...I have a profound idea in my head that I have Celiacs Disease and this is due to the fact that I have such a horrible reaction to Gluten. This past week I completely cut Gluten and Dairy out of my diet, and it was the best week for me health wise that I have had in a long time. I was not bloated, did not have diarrhea, did not have headaches, and feel great! Once I have insurance again (December 1st) I am going to make an appointment with my doctor to have my celiac panel ran, and we'll just have to see what happens. I have been eating about 1900 calories per day and burning about 2200 calories per day, with just one cheat meal.

All this gluten-free, dairy-free, calorie counting, P90X stuff has earned me a weight loss this past week of...1.6 pounds!!! I am so excited!!! I am finally in the right track in every aspect of my life, and couldn't be happier. Due to all of the crazy Beachbody announcements I may be blogging an extra time this week...so you may hear from me sooner than usual. Follow my blog...follow my vlog...join my fan page on facebook...message me about coaching...I'm always here for you!!! BRING IT!!!

90 Days to Diamond - Week 1 Reflections and my own fitness journey

Hey everyone!

I know it's been a few weeks since I've blogged, but I have been pretty busy trying to fit in my full-time job, being a single mom, my workouts, and mentoring a quickly building team. On Monday I started doing 90 Days to Diamond with my Beachbody pal, Tonda. We are accountability partners, and since starting 90 Days to Diamond less than one week ago I have signed two new coaches. I am actually two personal coaches and two Emerald coaches away from being Diamond!!! I need to find two more leaders for my team, and two of the coaches I already have or the new coaches I sign have to get their own two coaches (becoming Emerald). Yeah...it's a little confusing, but I am going to work really hared to make sure that all six coaches that I have right now...Alex, Judy, Stewart, Sandra, Jose, and Ashley...are Emerald coaches within the next 30 days!!! That is my ultimate goal because I want to teach my team how to be successful...if they're successful, I'm successful!!! This is such a wonderful business that I want to share it with everyone!!!

I am also going to talk about my fitness journey today...share the frustrations I've had lately. I recently (on Monday actually) switched a Dairy-free Gluten-free diet. It has been going great, but I have been staying in the same place with my weight loss. I will be completely honest...for my first four weeks of my TurboFire-ChaLEAN Extreme hybrid I lost 10 pounds!!! I was starting to have a tough time getting double workouts in when I started my new job, so I switched back to doing the original TurboFire schedule. I just finished my third week, and have now gained 6 pounds! I am not going to completely blame TurboFire though because I have made other changes. I switched to a new job four weeks ago where I am sitting at a desk all day (not on my feet for 8 hours straight like I was at Starbucks). I also stopped tracking my calories. I think all of these factors have been impacting my weight loss, but I have a new plan as of Monday morning.

- continue with week 4 of TurboFire, but when there are short workouts under 30 minutes I will be adding in a ChaLEAN Extreme resistance workout to get in more weight lifting (I will workout 6 days/week)
- stick with my gluten-free dairy-free diet
- have one Shakeology for breakfast every day with no coffee
- count my calories every day with a goal of 1800 calories
- NO FAST FOOD, CANDY, or SODA whatsoever- besides doing my TurboFire in the mornings before work, I will get in a walk every evening
- still allow myself one cheat meal per week

***********************************************
If anyone is interested in joining a quickly growing team, and having personal assistance from me via telephone once a week...send me a message! I will help you reach Emerald in 30 days...that is my promise to you!!! Some great things are happening with Beachbody, and I want to share it all with you!!! View this video to learn more...


I also have Shakeology and P90X Recovery Formula samples if you are interested in trying it!!!
