Beachbody Ultimate Reset

I have received numerous questions about the Beachbody Ultimate Reset, so I decided to blog with some information directly from Team Beachbody. After my next 90 Day Beachbody Challenge, I will be starting a Beachbody Ultimate Reset Challenge!

What is the Beachbody Ultimate Reset?

It's a comprehensive, no-starvation, inner body tune-up. In just 21 days, the Ultimate Reset can help you gently restore your body to its original "factory settings," to help you:

• Have more energy and greater focus*
• Experience better digestion and a more positive mood*
• Enable your body to function more efficiently*
• Help you lose weight*
• Improve your overall health.*

Why Reset?

Our environment has become more and more toxic. Our bodies absorb pollution and harmful chemicals all our lives, along with the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. These toxins can get stored in our bodies, clogging our cells and slowing down their natural functions. It's not enough just to work out and eat right.

At Beachbody, we realized we had to take a break from the everyday and find a way to get those toxins out of our bodies. Along with getting in shape on the outside, we had to start getting healthy on the inside. We decided it was time for a Reset.

What the Beachbody Ultimate Reset is NOT:

• A starvation diet. (You'll eat three filling, healthy meals every day.)
• An abrupt cleanse that's hard on the body. (The supplements work together gradually to gently shift your body's internal settings.)*
• A laxative-based, colon-focused cleanse, which fails to truly detoxify the whole body. (You won't be running to the bathroom every hour!)

To learn more, find out what to expect during the Reset, and read Success Stories from test group participants, go to my Web site at http://www.beachbodycoach.com/eringettingfit and click on the Beachbody Ultimate Reset banner. Or contact me directly and I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have.

Get ready to restore your inner health!

Beachbody Challenge

On Monday, July 23rd, I will be starting a new Beachbody Challenge for the first five people that sign up. This will be a challenge unlike any other, and I am very excited to share what I have been working on for the last few months. Here's how the challenge is going to work...
The challenger will pick their own fitness program (one they already own or a brand new one), will take part in a free private accountability group on facebook, will be given an easy to follow nutrition program with options, and can win money just by submitting a before and after picture to Beachbody. An added bonus would be winning cash daily by logging workouts daily in the Beachbody Super Gym.

As I am still a "work in progress" I will be participating in the group as well. I will be doing the exact same thing as the challengers...working out to the P90X/Insanity Hybrid, following my own nutrition plan, submitting my before and after photos to Beachbody, logging my workouts daily in the Super Gym, and interacting in the accountability group numerous times a day.

So, do you want it? Email me to secure your spot...only five spots in this challenge!!!

New Challenge...

I am always looking for new ways to challenge myself, and new ways to implement a healthy lifestyle that I'm going to stick with. I've tried so many different plans/challenges/"diets"...Weight Watchers, Clean Eating, Beachbody Challenge, Body by Vi Challenge, Food Lovers, etc...

Starting on Thursday I am starting the Bikini Booty Club Lean & Tone Fitness Challenge. It is incorporating an eating plan with specific exercises to target areas that need to get slimmed down to be "bikini" ready. The eating plan is super simple, and the workouts are easy to incorporate into my last four weeks of Les Mills Pump and the first few weeks of the P90X/INSANITY hybrid I'm starting in July. I'm hoping to see great results...results that will stick, while learning to eat in a clean and healthy way.

Per usual...I will be blogging about my journey, and sharing my results. I've only got 20 more pounds to shed to reach that final goal, and I would love it if for at least half of the summer I will be able to wear a bikini...my fitness goal! This journey started in February 2008, and I'm hoping to have my body, health, and LIFE completely transformed by February 2013...exactly five years later. I want to continue to learn about fitness and nutrition, and use it to help my family and my customers as they reach their goals as well. I'M READY...BRING IT ON!!!

Day 22: Food Lovers For Life

Day 22: June 4th 2012 - "Food Lovers For Life"

I have been through the 21 Day Metabolism Makeover, and I've gotta say...not too impressed with the results. I know that it's not the program...it's still me! I can follow the plan some days, but other days I just can't do it. I let my thoughts interrupt my progress every single time. I stop exercising, I cheat on my eating, I don't get in all my water...it's a never ending cycle, but it stops TODAY!!!

I am going to take on the next five week of the Food Lovers For Life program with 110% effort. I am going to stick with the eating plan, finish my last five weeks of Les Mills Pump, and stay away from the caffeine and alcohol. I NEED to lose these last 25 pounds to show myself that I can do it, as well as my amazing Beachbody customers and coaches. I NEED/WANT to succeed, and I want that amazing Before/After photo. I started out Beachbody many, many years ago at 215 pounds...am now at 178 pounds...and am going to end up at 155 pounds...a true SIXTY POUND WEIGHT LOSS!!!

I not only want to get back in the 150's again, but I want to be able to wear a bikini and show off all my hard work. I have worked so much on my own personal and emotional transformation as well, and I know that I need that visual picture of myself at 215 pounds next to myself at 155 pounds to really see how far I've come. I'm still addicted to food, but I need to find a way to eat all my favorites in a way that I am eating healthy, but not depriving myself. Food Lovers is doing that for me, now I just need to stick to the plan so I can see those final results.

Wish me luck! I will be posting my stats every single week and checking in until I reach that goal of 155 pounds. I can use all the support you guys have to offer...until next week! :-)
