Morning Motivation 3/29/2013 – If you thing wellness is expensive…
Daily Success 3/28/2013 – I’d go the first week, then find excuses to stop.
I can’t remember the last time my weight wasn’t on my mind. It has been a constant battle since I was 9. I was the girl who spent tons of money on trainers. I’d go the first week, then find excuses to stop. I’d do CRAZY diets, then quit and gain everything back. I was completely unhealthy.
When I was at my heaviest, I was sitting on the couch one night eating chocolate when I came across an INSANITY infomercial. I was so impressed with the results that people were having that I decided to Google “insanity” and “insanity results.” I stayed up ‘til 4 am looking at transformations and wishing it was me.
Best of all, I convinced myself to stop wishing and start doing! One of the transformations that caught my eye was from a Beachbody Coach named Melinda. I emailed her and the next day she replied. She asked about me and asked about my goals, then sent me some info about TurboFire and said I would love it.
She was so right. The punching, kicking and jumping keeps me pumped throughout the whole day. The music is AMAZING and Chalene motivates me to keep doing more than I did the last time. I FEEL AMAZING! I can say for the first time that I am HAPPY, HEALTHY, and PROUD. I still have to pinch myself to believe it, but I lost 26.5 lbs. with 90 days of TurboFire.
And I’m a completely changed person. There’s no room for negativity in my life. I didn’t stop with TurboFire. I’m now doing P90X and I’m planning to BRING IT with another program.
Best of all, I feel like my results can inspire people to become fit and healthy. I learned that I am much stronger than I thought and am capable of achieving my goals through hard work. I’m happy.

Daily Success 3/27/2013 – I saw in the mirror each day was of a person who had no passion about life
Before I started my journey, I was on a 4 cheeseburger, 2 large pizza, beer, no exercise kind of lifestyle. I had zero focus. Could care less about my health. The image I saw in the mirror each day was of a person who had no passion about life. It was a downward spiral. No hope of living a long and happy life.
But once my kids came along, everything changed.
I started with P90X®. I was the beginning of my journey. It taught me how to work out at home. Now I am doing Body Beast® I wanted something to help build some mass while burning off the fat. Beast is the perfect workout for someone like me.
So far, I have lost about 160 pounds, altogether using various Beachbody programs—P90X, INSANITY, Body Beast, Shakeology, the Ultimate Reset, etc. The weight loss has to be my biggest accomplishment. But now that I’m doing Body Beast, I have packed on about 15 pounds of muscle. So my journey is transforming. Taking me places I never could have imagined.

I have gone from a couch potato to a fitness warrior. My life has been given back to me. I would have been dead by 40. Now age is just a number. I eat for success, not satisfaction. I use the food tracker to keep track of every piece of food that goes in my mouth. I complete marathons, warrior dashes, Spartan runs.
I LOVE BEACHBODY. Thank you.

Daily Success 3/26/2013 – The more weight I put on the more embarrassed I became.
I have always been an athlete, a trainer, and a contestant in fitness shows, but developed medical issues that produced sudden weight gain. After numerous tests, I had a medical condition where one of the symptoms is weight gain. The more weight I put on the more embarrassed I became.
Fortunately I began dating my future husband who had great success with P90X by losing 100 pounds. After a lack of success with different fitness routines, my boyfriend suggested I try the INSANITY program.
It was the best decision I ever made. I found it incredibly challenging and broke a sweat every workout. However one of the biggest factors that made all the difference was the INSANITY meal plan. I was allowed my healthy carbohydrates (rice, beans, sweet potatoes, oats) healthy fats (nuts avocados, healthy oils) and lean protein, along with fruits and veggies.

I lost 17 pounds, which may not seem like a lot until you look at 3 five-pound bags of sugar in the grocery market. On the other hand, I gained some things too. I kicked processed food to the curb for organic and natural food. I regained my body and my confidence. After not competing for 3 years due to my medical condition and weight gain, I was able to step on stage and compete in a worldwide fitness show in Las Vegas in November 2012.
Best of all, the INSANITY program changed my medical condition, has allowed me to maintain the health I have and also the confidence I desire as I go about my everyday life.
Morning Motivation 3/26/2013 – If you tripped and fell?
If you tripped and fell?
What is your WHY and what are you doing with it?
What is your WHY?
So every week I send out a message to all of you in hopes that I can touch the life of at least one new person. To help change your life so that you may have an easier time with work, life, and be an example to those around you. As I approach two year of being a BeachBody coach I have been able to help so many people and each one has enriched my life and strengthened my commitment to reach out to more people.
So this week message is just to ask you a few questions and then to ask you to step out of your comfort zone.
- So first where were you 5 years ago and were you better off physically then or now?
- If you where in the shape that you wanted to be in how would it change you? Would you be more comfortable at the beach/swimming pool? Would you be off medication? Would you be an example to your friends, parents, and kids? Would you be less worried about your families history of diabetes, cancer, or other illness?
- What would you do if you could not fail?
Think about these questions. We are all in different places, we all have different WHYs but after you have answered these questions I need you to step out of your comfort zone and contact me. Let me get you into one of my support groups and lets turn those WHYs into “Why not me”.I am here to help but I cannot help without you reaching out to me! So reply to this email, pick up the phone and call but don’t let another day go by without improving your life!!Contact Info:

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?

Daily Success 3/25/2013 – I even had the nickname, Pudge
I have always been chubby. As a kid I even had the nickname, Pudge. I never really thought much about my health until my wife was diagnosed with a chronic illness that effected her brain and every aspect of her life. So far, she’s undergone seven surgeries, including 6 brain surgeries. That was a MAJOR wakeup call for us. After her last surgery we decided to change our lifestyle knowing that we couldn’t change her chronic illness but we could save ourselves from other illnesses by focusing on our health.
We both started drinking Shakeology and focusing on nutrition. I also started and finished P90X, Tai Cheng, and we tackled the Ultimate Reset together. Since then I have so much more energy. My friends and family are astonished with my results. I’m happier, healthier, and my life has been enhanced SO MUCH this past year through Beachbody.

Thanks to P90X I got the six-pack that I always wanted. After that intense program I needed a little rest, so I went straight into Tai Cheng. Tai Cheng was low impact but I realized once I got started that it really works you out! The core strengthening was amazing. My posture and core have never been better.
Shakeology made a big difference, too. I’m a Registered Nurse doing home healthcare so I spend most of my day in my car. It used to be easy to grab fast food, but with Shakeology I don’t have to do that. I carry my shaker cup and have lunch on the go. Before Shakeology, I used to chug 4-5 cups of coffee a day to keep me going. But since Shakeology, I haven’t had a cup.
