Getting Prepared...BIG Week Ahead...

This summer my daughter, Courtney, is NOT going to extended school camp like usual, so we have a BIG week ahead as it's the first week of "summer vacation" for her!!  Instead she has swim team practice in the morning, dance camp in the afternoon and dance class after camp on Monday & Tuesday.  Then Wednesday is her first swim meet and Thursday and Friday nights we can catch our breath!  Caroline also has a new schedule at school with Water Play on Tuesday and Friday...and Share Day on Thursday.  But what I am looking forward to the most is daycare ordering lunch for Caroline on Wednesdays...which means no packing her lunch on Tuesday night...sounds like such a small thing but after packing lunch everyday...it's night to take a break.

For the other days, I make packing lunches easier throughout the week by spending an hour in the kitchen prepping fruits and veggies for the week on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. Even though school is out for my oldest daughter I will still pack lunches for my 3 year old and myself each night. This mom doesn't get a break from packing lunches unless it's vacation or we eat out...but we try to limit eating out since it's expensive and not always as healthy. Therefore I typically spend time cutting strawberries and portioning out several plastic containers of grapes and strawberries. Then I pull out lettuce, tomatoes and other veggies for salads and snacks. I prefer cauliflower, cucumbers and celery which all have to be washed and cut. Preparing for the week is totally worth it. I also spent an hour during the weekend organizing the house which included putting toys away, taking out bathroom trash, unloading the dishwasher, starting laundry, and switching from winter shoes to sandals. It seems like it takes longer, but when it was only a hour and I got a lot done, I determine that it wasn't really that bad and now I'll have least to do throughout the week. And I'll be able to focus on other things like getting up at 5am to start the day with a workout and end the day inviting others to get ready for summertime events with the 3 Day Refresh Challenge and 21 Day Fix Challenge. What are these challenges and how can you benefit from completing them? Read below for more info...

I had two friend recently complete the 3 Day Refresh challenge and here is what they said after completing it: 

Friend #1: I did learn good lessons like drinking water first thing in the morning and realized I've been eating too much salt. Overall, glad I made it through and hope to keep my calories in check going forward.

Friend #2: It wasn't as bad I as thought and I stuck to the plan except yesterday I had black coffee with stevia. • I never felt hungry. • The vanilla shake was tasty. • The dinner recipes were good, especially the veggie stir fry. • I lost 1.6 lbs and 2 inches! I didn't get all my water in on the first day or yesterday. Water intake is a struggle that I have. I also didn't get to walk which I intended to do as light exercise. I'm happy with my results and it's a great kick start to the 21 Day Fix Challenge for me!

21 Day Fix Challenge

At the beginning of the summer of 2014, I began running outside in hopes of losing the last 10 pounds of "baby weight" from my then 2 year old. I wasn't consistent and I didn't really enjoy running, but I couldn't find the time to make it to the gym. Then I noticed a high school friend's post on Facebook that she was working out, losing weight and inches...and fitting into clothes that hadn't fit in years. I  wanted to know what she was doing...so I private messaged her & asked for more information. 

21 Day Fix consists of 6 workouts that are each 30 minutes short. The boot-camp style workouts burn calories and reshape your body in less time than it takes to get ready each morning!! The workouts are challenging, but provide amazing changes for your body, especially if you focus on the portion controlled meal plan that complements the workout plan!! There is no more guessing about how much you should eat...with these containers, you fill them up with the foods listed for each category 

I lost 10 pounds in my first 45 days and a total of 12 pounds at the end of 60 days. I saw an incredible definition in my abs and legs compared to day 1. Throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season I continued my daily workout, drank Shakeology for breakfast and followed the meal plan (for the most part). I was able to maintain my weight throughout the holidays and move on to the next challenge, Insanity Max:30 after the new year!

Share Your Experiences as a Beachbody Coach

I am blessed to be a part of this fabulous "family" that works together, trains together and strengthens each other!!  21 Day Fix changed my life and being on this team has opened my eyes to an AMAZING opportunity!!  I am not a fitness expert or professional trainer but I am PASSIONATE about sharing, motivating and helping others to reach their fitness goals!!  I cheer my team and the other Dream Team coaches to their goals as we are all in this together...because together is better!!  

The best part is the Dream Team leaders have tweaked the Beachbody trainings into a duplicatable system so anyone can become a successful coach if they follow what is shared.  Several coaches on the Dream Team followed what was presented on weekly team calls and National Beachbody calls and replaced their full-time income in a little over a year.  At this point, I am not planning to quit my full-time position, but I love that templates are provided so that I can edit them into my own rather than having to create systems on my own.

As a Beachbody Coach, I am growing my business to earn extra income for family vacations and to continue to support my love for Shakeology!!  I am also excited that I get to try & buy new products and programs before their official launch to customers!

Do you have goose bumps yet...well if not, take 6 minute to watch this video explaining more about the Team Beachbody...

WHAT A BEACHBODY COACH ISN'T

A Beachbody Coach isn't a Get Rich Quick Scheme.  It takes hard work and you must put in the effort to reap the reward.  The Dream Team motto is "Be Here in a YEAR."  What does that mean?  Give the business 100% for a year and you will be AMAZED! 

HOW DO YOU BECOME A BEACHBODY COACH?

You don't have to start coaching alone and you won't!  I will provide you with the tools and a plan to succeed!! Plus you'll have the opportunity to join an apprenticeship program lead by the Dream Team Founder and 2014 #1 Beachbody Coach!!
