Why Coaching?

Hello Everyone!!! Why I am a Beachbody coach? Why did I decide to do the whole coaching thing? Is it to make a fast buck? Is it just a part time job to make some extra spending money? Is it to be part of something bigger? Why? Why coaching?

I become a coach  in July of 2013. I just got back from visiting my fiancés family in San Diego, and I just felt blah. I worked out and lifted every day but I hated the way I felt. I needed Cardio back in  my life but I hated gyms and machines, didn't have time for classes, and no longer wanted to run and pound the pavement. So I saw my coach post about T25. T25 is literally 25 minutes of pure cardio. I believed that I could do that. That I could do 25 minutes after school and still lift in the morning. So I bought it. Not really knowing what I was doing and if it was going to work. Well, I feel in love with it and thought everyone should do it! Seriously who didn't have 25 minutes a day to workout. I also switched from drinking Isagneix to drinking Shakeology every day! I loved it!!! Shakeology made me feel good, gave me energy, made me feel positive, helped with my weight loss journey, and regulated me!

So I went to my coach and said I want to do what you are doing. I want to help others see how amazing these products are. So I jumped in to the whole coaching thing, not knowing again what I was getting myself into.

AND GUESS WHAT!!!!

Coaching has been the best thing that has happened to me! Yes I love to workout and eat clean, and I honestly started to help get me in shape for my wedding. But I have always loved helping others and I want to help as many people as  I can. I always say, if I didn't get paid to do this, I would still do it!But my Why goes deeper. There is a lot of disease in my family genes. Both my dads parents died before he was 19 years old. His dad died of a massive heart attack and his mom died of cancer. My mom's parents both passed before I was 19 years old. Yes I got to spend time with them and enjoy them but some of my cousins didn't. And my grandfather was a riot and I know my husband would have loved him.

So as a coach, my goal is to help everyone!! Help everyone live a LONG and HEALTHY life. No I do not believe in weighing 100 pounds and being toothpick thin! I believe in being healthy, fit, and strong. Everyone has a different goal, but everyone NEEDS to workout and eat healthy daily, especially if they want to be around a long time.

I want my parents to be around for my kids, I want my husbands parents to be around for our kids. I want our kids to know their grandparents!!! So yes maybe I am coaching for selfish reasons, but I want YOU to be around for YOUR kids or grandkids some day! I want YOU to be healthy, happy, fit, and strong so that you can play with them and not be weak or sick.

Food is the most important thing when it comes to nourishing our body, BUT if we eat the wrong things they can do more damage then good. That is why I drink shakeology daily and that is why I try to be a good role model to my husband and our parents. Shakeology isn't just an overpriced shake! Its worth every penny because you are getting 8 bowls of salad in 1 shake, you are getting 70+ superfoods in every shake! You are getting the healthiest meal of the day when you have 1 shake a day!

Don't be afraid of getting healthy, changing your lifestyle or stepping outside of your comfort zone. EVERYONE needs to do it, whether you weigh 120 or 320 you need to take control of your body, feed it the correct nutrients, and keep it moving so that when you are ready to have kids or your kids have kids, you can enjoy them and run around with them.

Week 1 of month 2 Insanity

 

Week 1 of Month 2 of Insanity will be over tomorrow and all I have to say is OMG!!!! Month 2 is no joke! All the workouts are any where from 45-60 minutes, they are intense and make you go to the MAX!!! I love the workouts though!! And honestly with all the changing around and intervals, you don't realize it is an hour workout.

 

With these workouts I have burned up to 600 calories during the workouts, I have noticed that I sweat ALOT more, and that I not only feel great after them, but I get HIGH off the accomplishment that I actually finished it.

 

The intervals are a minute longer and the moves are 15 seconds longer than the first month. However, on the 3rd round he doesn't end with a power move, he ends with a slower, bring your heart rate back down type of move. The moves are definitely more dynamic, intense, and more powerful.

 

I still say that this program can be done by anyone, AS LONG, as you go at your own pace and concentrate on your form rather than your speed! Month 2 is definitely harder, but I LOVE it! I love every workout in Insanity!! I can't wait for next month to do ASYLUM!!! haha I think I have officially gone CRAZY!!! :)

Thursday - Transform yourself

 If your tired of starting over then stop giving up!!

A reason that people don't do the small things that add up to success over time is because they don't see the success right away!

Anything we do that is going to make us successful, skinny, healthier, happier takes time!!

Working out, eating clean, staying positive doing them every day doesn't look like it's making a difference, but over time, they make a huge difference.

Remember this: Success is a process not a destination! When you make the choice to change don't expect to see results over night. Tell yourself that this is a process and it's a slow one. And that the results as long as you stick with it and stay consistent.

You got this!! Stick to it! Don't give up!! And you will become successful!

Need help? Message me! I am here for you and would love to give you the push you need start doing what you want!

Day full of Changes

While I write this I am sitting in the waiting room of Westmoreland Hospital waiting to be called to see my husband. A week a go he fell off a box truck unloading equipment from this football game. He landed on his knee and tore the quad tendon. This past week as been stressful and full of anxiety. My husband and I are both holistic people and do not care for hospitals and medicine so this is a big thing. He is getting his quad tendon reattached and I hear it is a painful, long process.

We have literally been married for less than 3 months and let me tell you, these past 3 months have not been sugar plums and fairy tales. They have been ROUGH!!! However, has rough as they have been and scary I wouldn't change it for the world. I am with the man that I am meant to be. He is my superman and he is the guy that does nothing but cheers me on with my dreams!!!

However, the next few months are going to be a challenge and they are going to be rough. But I always say everything happens for a reason, and if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger.

I truly believe that God is taking us through these troubles not to test us or punish us, but to show us how strong our love is for each other and how that no matter what is handed to us we will come out stronger and more unbreakable.

Here is my superman/ prince charming right before he heads back! He is so brave and strong!
