Transformation Tuesday!

I was asked last week to see a picture of when I first started to where I am at now. So here it is! I started last year in the middle of July with T25. Honestly, I didn't know about Beachbody, I had only heard about Insanity and I HATED workout videos. I wanted to be outside running or doing something other than staring at the TV.

However, I when I saw that T25 was ONLY 25 minutes long, I thought to myself, Oh I can do that. Its only 25 minutes! At that time I was lifting every morning and doing a 30-60 minute lifting program. I wanted to incorporate cardio but I HATED going to the gym and doing the cardio equipment, so I thought 25 minutes I can do that after school and know that I could still have time to get work done and cook dinner. Well, T25 was nothing that I thought it would be! It was SOOO much more. Within 4 weeks of doing the program, I was seeing results, my stomach was shrinking, my abs were popping out, and I loved the fact it was only 25 minutes long! It was hard to wrap my head around doing anything longer. With T25, I was drinking shakeology and eating clean but not portioning out my food. By the end of the 10 weeks I lost 14 pounds and several inches off my body. I felt amazing and had the confidence that I was lacking! Also after doing T25 for a week, I decided to become a Beachbody coach. Why? Because T25 was amazing and I wanted everyone out there to know how amazing and life changing it was.

After I did T25, I decided to do another round of it, with adding gamma to the end this time. That took me all the way into the New Year. After I finished T25 - Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, I decided to challenge myself with P90x3. I did the doubles of that program and lost more weight and toned my body like I never knew it could tone before.

After P90x3 I decided to do combat, however, I got extremely sick the second week into combat and ended up loosing 3 weeks from being sick and working my way back up to exercising daily! So by the time I was feeling better, it was May and I was 3 months away from my wedding. So I did a hybrid of T25 and P90x3. I loved it and that took me all the way up to my wedding. Before the wedding my husband ordered Insanity and The Asylum combo pack to get their fit tests for the football season and have something to do.  We spent a lot of money on the programs and they kept staring at me. SOOO I decided to take the plunge and step up my game to do Insanity and Asylum. I started Insanity at the end of August and just finished it 2 weeks ago. I LOVED it! I was scared to do it and I was afraid of the time length of the program, BUT I did it and I quit my job so I could be a FULL Time Online Health and Fitness Coach! So time wasn't really an issue with me, besides it being super long and not having done a workout longer than 30 minutes. However, I did it and I would do it again. Insanity was amazing!

Since I started Beachbody I have lost 20 pounds but have gained some of it back, due to muscle building. With the start of the programs I went from 130 to my lowest 110 to now being 120 and looking better than I did at 117. I have done multiple programs, drink shakeology daily, eating clean, and doing the 21 Day Fix portion control and staying motivated because of my Challenge groups and my girls and guys that push me through it! My body has changed drastically and I am happier with myself and have more confidence than I have ever had before!!

Don't get me wrong, I have fallen off the band wagon of eating healthy especially when traveling for the holidays, HOWEVER, I have the products and tools to get me back on track, and to help me loose the weight I had gained and to tone my body back up after slacking on the workouts.

But in the end I get back on track. And I owe it to Beachbody and the products that they have available to everyone to help them be the best, healthiest, person they can be!

Beachbody has seriously changed my life for the better and I couldn't be happier!!

Life s not a spectator Sport

 

 

Good Morning!

Life is not a spectator sport; it's a contact sport, and there are no practice sessions, and you've been in the game from day one.

Life is for sure a contact sport! You are always having things thrown at you, both good and bad. However it's how you handle those things that defines who you are and how you play the game!

Don't quit or give up because the game got to hard or didn't go the way you wanted it to. Keep going, relook at your plan and strategize a new one!

Remember do the thing and you shall have the power. The only way to have the power, to win the game, is to do the thing, learn by doing, and keep at it!

Whether you are winning or loosing, do it, play the game, get physical and strategize and plan for the ups and downs. But don't quit and don't walk away. Because then you will live with regret the rest of your life.

Need help? Message me! I am here for you and would love to help you!!

3 more foods that will boost your energy and set your metabolsim on Fire

Here are 3 MORE foods that set your Metabolism on Fire and Boost your Energy All Day!

1. Berries: I call them “nature’s candy”! They are naturally sweet, and are PACKED full of antioxidants, metabolism-boosting vitamins and phytochemicals, and cancer-fighting flavanoids. Blueberries and raspberries also contain lutein, which helps promote healthy vision.

 

2.    Cayenne Pepper: You may have heard people say that spicy food boosts your metabolism…. But are they right?!  Well, yes – as long as that spicy food isn’t from the greasy Mexican restaurant down the street.  The reason why cayenne pepper raises your metabolism is this: spicy food raises your body temperature, which then forces your body to work harder to cool itself down.  This “cooling” process actually requires calories…which thus generates a sort of “fire” for your metabolism.  So, if you can take the heat, GO FOR IT!  Sprinkle it (sparingly) on your turkey or chicken or on your lean hamburgers. You can even use it to spice up your veggies and your soup, if you dare.

 

3.    Chicken breast: Like turkey, this is a lean meat that no diet should be without!  Just don’t forget to remove the skin, and don’t eat it fried… as this totally kills all the health benefits.

 

 

P90 Fitness Group Starts Monday!!!

This weekend I got to do the P90 workout live with Tony Horton!! It was amazing! And then I came home to my P90, that was delivered this past week! P90 is literally a program for anyone and everyone! From new moms to busy moms and dads to people who are scared of the gym or just hate it to older people to younger people to over weight people to fit people!

This program has 3 phases that start out slow and work you up to a faster pace. By the time you are done in 90 days you won't just have lost weight and learned to love working out, but you will be ready to take on a new and more challenging program!

I am stating my P90 Beta Test group on Monday, October 13! I only have a few spots left! Interested? Want to learn more about it? Message me, like this post, or email me at jgerity83@gmail.com

ALSO for every program purchased, $5 will be donated to wounded warriors! Now till October 31 if you purchase the P90 fitness package, $5 of it will go towards wounded warriors in honor of Tony Hortons father who recently passes away. AMAZING!! My goal is to get 20 people to do P90 by October 31 to be able to donate $100 but then on top of that I will double the contribution!

Help me in supporting the wounded warriors and get fit and healthy at the same time!!!

Everything is moving, Everything is Chaning, Always

Good Morning! Happy Thursday!!!

Nothing ever stays the same. Everything  is in motion, always. Everything changes.

Life is constantly changing and moving. Why are you still sitting still?

Stop siting and waiting for the right opportunity! Get up and make the opportunity for you!

If I would have waiting for the perfect time to quick my full time job and start Beachbody full time, I would still be waiting! Sometimes we have to jump feet first into something, hope instead of hoping for the best, work our a$$ off to make it successful and everything we want it to be and more!

Sitting around won't get you where you want to go. Sitting around won't get you what you want!! YOU have to get up and work for it! Believe in yourself, learn from your mistakes and failures and keep moving ahead!!

Need help? Need that push to change? Message me! I am here for you and would love to give you the push you need to get changing.
