Thinking about becoming a Beachbody coach? Why now is the time!

Many of you have heard over and over again from the Beachbody coaches that you know that the company is waiving the sign-up fee between now and the end of the year. And that's great news, right? Really cool, right?

Absolutely cool!

But I'm not sure everyone totally understands just why it is so completely and utterly cool! So here's why, and here's why if you've been even remotely considering it, but for whatever reason keep putting it off, you should stop putting it off and DO IT NOW!

The holidays are coming, guys! I bet quite a few of you are wondering how you're going to come up with the money to buy everything you want to buy for the people on your list. That cool camera your daughter wants. Or that game player your son wants. Or whatever totally awesome, and expensive thing, somebody you know wants and you want to be able to get it for them.

And what about the people who have had their eye on a great fitness program, P90X or Turbo Fire, and has been wanting to buy it but just hasn't done it yet?

Wouldn't that make a great Christmas gift? Who doesn't know someone who has been talking about getting fit and in shape, but hasn't bought a program yet?

So here's where the magic happens. You can sign up as a coach right now and not have to pay the $40 set-up fee. Then once you're signed, you can get a 25% discount on every single program or product that Beachbody offers, making it so much easier to buy them as gifts.

Plus, you get a 25% commission, at the full retail price, on every single item someone buys from you! So you probably know people who would love to give sports related items or fitness programs to someone on their Christmas list, and now they can BUY IT FROM YOU!!

And, if they decide to sign up under you now, while the set-up fee is waived, they can pass that same thing on to people they know.

And so on and so on and so on!!!

Do you see what is happening here? What an amazing opportunity to jump in and take advantage of!

But that's not the end of it. By getting on board now, you get yourself trained -- and the training you get is second to none -- so that you are ready when the first of the year hits and everyone on the planet suddenly wants to lose weight. And where will they turn?

Well, that's easy. If you're positioned as a coach and are ready to step in and help, and know your business, THEY WILL TURN TO YOU!!

And Beachbody is set to launch a total onslaught of brand new infomercials after the beginning the year, so when Aunt Mary or Uncle Bob sees an infomercial for P90X or for Turbo Fire, for example, and they know you're a coach, they are going to come to you to buy that program!!

Do you see what an awesome opportunity this is? Do you see how you can actually make some money this holiday season and be able to go out and pick up that great gift that you didn't think you could afford?

So, bottom line, you get started in a business that you can get into for $40 off the usual amount to get started. You can buy a workout program, at a 25% discount, as a gift for someone and give yourself the gift of Shakeology, at a 25% discount, as a gift to yourself.

Then you can sell some programs over the holidays, get a 25% commission on the retail price, and get trained and set up and in place to take off like gangbusters after the first of the year, when the fitness industry surges and Beachbody is positioning itself to be at the forefront of that surge.

There are a ton of reasons to sign as a coach at any time. There are even more fantastic reasons to do it now, instead of waiting. Why wait when the opportunity right now is better than ever?

I am always ready to welcome leaders to my team! I know a good thing when I see it and THIS IS A GOOD THING!! Heck, IT'S A FANTASTIC THING!!

If you have any questions, or just want to jump in and get started, contact me. I will help you get going on a business that will change your life and open new doors for you! The thing to do is sign. The time to do it is NOW!!!

(Thanks Terri!  I couldn't have said it better myself!)

My Shakeology Cleanse Results!

After 3 days on my Shakeology cleanse, I lost a total of 3.5 lbs. & 4 inches.  These results are pretty great for me because my weight doesn't fluctuate very much anymore.  I have built up a lot of muscle, so my weight drops pretty slowly. The great thing about this cleanse is that you are staying hydrated the whole time and getting plenty of nutrients for your body.  I did end up feeling pretty tired the first day, but I was also taking in about 1200 calories less than my body needs in a day.  So, after I bumped that up a little bit, I had much more energy.  I really wasn't that hungry because Shakeology fills me up, especially with all of the ice and water.  I also exercised less than I normally do, but I had expected to do so.

Here are my recommendations if you are going to try the cleanse:  Don't wait too long to eat, especially if you are feeling light-headed.  If you feel tired, grab a piece of fruit.  Don't be afraid to add a few more calories in if you need to.  Make sure you drink your water and green tea.  Weigh & measure yourself before you start.  You might not see weight loss, but you could see your measurements change.  Also, make sure you plan ahead for all of your meals.  That way, you will have everything you need and you can make sure you can complete it.  Good luck!

I plan on doing a weigh in and taking measurements again in a week to see if anything has changed.  So, look for updates soon.

Shakeology Cleanse Day #3

I was down another 1.5 lbs. this morning, which brings my total to 3 lbs. & 3 inches lost.  I have been eating a little more, which seems to help with the tiredness.  I am definitely feeling better today.

Here's what I ate today:

Breakfast:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ 1/2 cup black cherries, ice & water- 185 calories

Snack:  green tea & a banana-  100 calories

Lunch:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ ice & water- 140 calories

Snack:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ 1/2 cup black raspberries, ice & water-  185 calories

Dinner:  Caesar salad w/ spinach, romaine, chicken & croutons- 500 calories

Snack:  apple- 75 calories

Total calories:  1185 calories

All in all, it was a fanastic day!  My energy levels were back up & I'm feeling lighter.  I will post final results tomorrow. :)

Shakeology Cleanse Day #2

As of this morning, I have lost 1.5 lbs.  I am feeling a little tired today, but my 2 year old also woke up 2 hours earlier than usual, so I can't be for sure if it is the cleanse or not. :)

Here's what I ate today:

Breakfast:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ 1/2 cup black cherries, ice & water- 185 calories

Snack:  green tea & a banana- 100 calories

Lunch:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ ice & water-  140 calories

Snack:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ 2/3 cup blueberries, ice & water-  186 calories

Dinner: Caesar salad w/ spinach, romaine, chicken & croutons-  500 calories

Snack:  coffee w/ creamer & stevia (major cheat, but my headache won't go away)- 50 calories

Water- 48 additional ounces

Total calories:  1166 calories

I feel like I lacked energy all day, so I added some more calories.  I also ended up starting my period today (early), so that is what I believed caused the headache (sorry for sharing too much info).  I was down another 1 lb. this afternoon, so we'll see what tomorrow's results are.

Stay tuned!

Shakeology Cleanse Day #1

Today was my first day of my 3 day Shakeology cleanse.  Other than feeling a bit hungry and little lightheaded because I waited too long to eat dinner, things went well.

Here's what I ate today:

Breakfast:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ 1/2 cup black cherries & ice & water- 185 calories

Snack:  green tea

Lunch:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ 1 cup blueberries & ice & water- 210 calories

Snack:  green tea

Snack:  Chocolate Shakeology w/ ice & water- 140 calories

Dinner: Salad w/ Caesar dressing & chicken & whole wheat croutons (slight cheat) -500 calories

Total calories: 1035 calories

I ended up having an additional 48 oz. of water so far today, not including the 30 in the Shakeology or in the tea.  So, I definitely got my water in too.

I'm interested to see how I feel tomorrow morning because this is quite a few calories less than I normally eat in a day and I am going to be lifting weights.  So, I'll see how it goes.

I will post updates tomorrow. :)

Why I can't exercise (Excuse #2)

I don't have the energy!

When you are thinking about starting a workout program, it can be very difficult to get yourself motivated to get started, especially if you feel tired all of the time.  If you have a job where you sit around all day, you might still feel tired when you get home.  If you are mom chasing around kids all day, exercising might be the last thing you want to do.  The thing many people don't understand is that if you start exercising, you will have more energy.  It might be rough going that first week, but after you get into your routine, you will have more energy than you have had in a long time.  The key is finding a workout that you really enjoy doing, one that you actually miss if you don't do it.  That way, you will be motivated to stick with it and have that energy you need to truly enjoy your life.

Why I can't exercise! (Excuse #1)

I don't have time to exercise!

Everyone is busy with life, with work, with their families, but that doesn't mean you can't fit it all in.  You just need to make it a priority in your life and schedule it as you would anything else that is important to you.

Are you still thinking you don't have the time?  Think about your life.  Could you get up a little earlier?  Could you go to bed a little earlier to make that possible?  Could you do your workout immediately after work?  If you are a stay-at-home mom, could you get a workout in during naptime or would your child workout with you or let you workout while he or she does something else?  Are you spending time at night watching a few shows on t.v.?  If so, would you be willing to give some of that time up to better yourself?  If you really want to do it, you can.  You just need to let your family members know that it is important to you.  Don't feel guilty for taking time for yourself.  It will make you a better person in every aspect of your life.
