Daily Success 3/6/2013 – I was on meds for depression, anxiety, and acid reflux.
Talk about a complete mess—before I started with Beachbody, I was totally out of control. Every day was the same—work…drink 8 cups of coffee…smoke 2 packs of cigarettes…work…go home…gorge on food till I’d pass out in a food coma…then get up and do it all over again.
I was on meds for depression, anxiety, and acid reflux. I hated every picture of myself, and actually deleted years of my life because I couldn’t stand the way I looked. And I desperately needed a change.
So after seeing an infomercial for P90X, I said, okay. I did P90X and loved it. Everything was a challenge—learning to eat, learning to work out—but I stuck with it. It was the start of my journey, and I loved it. It got me back on track. But the thing that really changed my life was Body Beast. It just seemed like the next logical step—and it was. Bulk, baby, bulk became my mantra.
And every part of my life has changed. I LOVE fitness and living life, versus just watching it pass me by. I do mud runs and races. My relationships have gotten better. I got my confidence back. Got my self-esteem back. Got my thirst for life back. And I’ve got a better body than ever before!

Focus, Determination and Drive
History is full of people that were told that they were not good enough or smart enough.
Can you name the person that was told he was “too stupid to learn anything?” and was later fired from two jobs for being un-productive? But later was asked “How did it feel to fail 1000 time?” He replied, “I didn’t fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention that took a 1000 steps.” You would be right if you said Thomas Edison. He created over 1000 different inventions, but do you think that he was able to do so by quitting?
10 years after retiring for the world of boxing this fighter decided to return to the ring. When he returned to the ring people laughed and scoffed at him as he was slow and easily 50 pounds overweight, but he persevered and worked hard. After 5 years of hard training and focusing on coming back he was given a chance to box for the title which he ended up losing. Most people would have given up saying that they did their best but not this boxer. He continued for the next 3.5 trainer and reaching for the coveted belt and on November 5, 1994 this 45 year old man beat his competitor in a 10 round fight to becomes the oldest heavyweight champ in history. Many of us know him and the guy that sells grills on late night TV but if you said Gorge Foreman!
These are just two stories of people that did listen to the nay sayers and focused on their goal and didn’t let anything stand in their way.
What goals are you ready to achieve and are you ready to all of those around you that you can do whatever it takes?!?

Important notice!!
Have you ever been “grand-fathered” into something? You know, the moment you feel like you got an awesome deal for acting at the right time? Then listen up because that time is NOW!!
Shakeology is increasing by $.33 a day for the original flavors, however, the vegan formulas are staying the same. It’s still a great value at just $4.33 a meal but you have the opportunity to get an even better deal than that.
You see, when Beachbody launched Shakeology, gas prices were less than $2/gallon… We are paying over $4/gallon now! Wit the price of gas increasing over 125%, that impacts every raw ingredient price and has resulted in dramatic shipping rate increases, but Shakeology’s price only increased 8.33% during that same period of time. It’s always tough to deal with a price increase, but believe me we have done all we can do to deliver Shakeology at a value and in any previous pricing model I have used, Shakeology should be priced closer to $189-$199… So the overall increase to ORIGINAL flavors is $10… But here’s the great news…
If you are on Home Direct now… You are ALL LOCKED IN to the CURRENT Shakeology price. That means you KEEP your $119.96 rate AND FREE SHIPPING (saving you an additional $12) and are GRAND-FATHERED in to hold that price for L-I-F-E.!! If you’re not, on April 1st the price is going up. So, if you have been on the fence, NOW is your chance to get LOCKED in for a special price…. you can still opt out whenever you’d like, but who would want to when you can save $120 a year?
Like always please contact me so that I can start helping you achieve your goals!!

Daily Success 3/1/2013 – Being overweight was not fun. It left me exhausted all the time
Prior to moving to the U.S. 3 years ago, I was skinny. But during my first 2 years here, I gained 20 lbs. and couldn’t lose the weight. Being overweight was not fun. It left me exhausted all the time, I felt horrible, and climbing one flight of stairs was a huge challenge.
Every day I’d looked in the mirror and couldn’t believe that the person staring back at me was ME! Eventually, I got used to seeing myself fat and just accepted it as who I’d become.
Then one day I came across some BEFORE and AFTER pictures of an old friend who had lost weight with Beachbody and I couldn’t believe her amazing transformation. I called her up, she took me under her wing, and the next thing I knew, she was coaching me through Slim in 6®.
Even though Slim in 6 is a low-impact workout designed for beginners, since I hadn’t worked out in over 20 years, I only got through the 1st 14 minutes of the workout on my first day. But the more workouts I did, the stronger I got, and the easier they became. Sure there were times I wanted to quit, but my Challenge Group wouldn’t dare let me. They all were so supportive and motivating, and I think they often believe in me more than I did myself.

In addition to working out daily, I followed the menu my Coach prepared for our group, plus I replaced one meal a day with Shakeology®. I’m still amazed how incredibly quick and easy Shakeology is to make, and that a whole meal fits in just one glass. This stuff’s amazing!
Over the course of 6 short weeks, I lost 14 pounds, went from a size 9 pant to a 4, and replaced all my medium shirts with smalls or XS. I have so much more energy now than I’ve ever had, and even though I still have Osteopenia, my joint pain has completely subsided.
Not only did Beachbody give me a new body, they gave me the tools I need to live a healthy life. Now, my children are following in my footsteps and are eating healthy and exercising daily—which makes me so happy. But this is just the beginning of my heath and fitness journey. I recently started Chalene Extreme® and am excited about continuing to tone my body and live healthy. Thanks, Beachbody, for changing my life. Without you, I don’t know where I’d be.
