No Holiday Weight Gain Here! I'm Commited

With the holidays right around the corner, I get all stressed out about gaining weight because normally it is about 5 or so pounds. See, in my family we have about 5 separate celebrations per holiday (Thanksgiving and Christmas) as I have a large family which ultimately means 5 large meals. I am always glad to see my family but even more glad to have them over because of all the darn food and eating that goes on!

This year I have decided to make some changes in my diet and exercise plan in order to maintain or even lose some weight this year. Want to know how I am going to do it? Sew my mouth shut! Ha! Just kidding.

No, I have already made significant changes in my wellness plan over the past 10 months and rather than just making the excuses of "Oh, it is the holidays I can eat whatever I want I'll work it off later" I am going to make a game plan and stick to it. Here are a few of the things I have written into my wellness plan over the past few months that will ensure I do not gain weight! I thought I would share with you as this is a concern and struggle for most of us this time of year.

1. Commit to my fitness and nutrition program with Insanity by Shaun T.
2. Drink at least 8 glass of water a day.
3. Stock up on veggies and fruit for quick snacks instead of cookies or candy.
4. Replace at least one meal a day with Shakeology.
5. Fit in some extra walking when I can throughout the day.
6. Keep in mind that I am a role model for others so sticking with the plan and encouraging others to utilize some of these tools is so important.

If you are looking for someone to help you stick with your weight loss/maintenance goals throughout the holidays or any other time I am happy to help give you some direction and support. Check out my website and contact me!

My Dreams Are Becoming A Reality with Team Beachbody!

What are your goals? At the start of 2009, I made a commitment to myself to make a change in my life with a strong emphasis on my career goals. Working long hours for someone I couldn't stand and not earning the income I know I deserve wasn't cutting it for me. At 29 years old, I made the decision to focus on making 2009 a year to remember but didn't really know how I was going to do it. So, I started to keep my ears and eyes open to new and exciting opportunities. Living in a town 0f 98 people in rural Nebraska, I knew it was going to be a challenge but I was up for it!

In February of '09, I purchased a home fitness program called P90x with Tony Horton. I had gained about 20 pounds in 2 years since getting married and I hated myself for that. After about a month of faithfully completing my daily workouts, a good friend of mine who knew I was doing P90x, introduced me to her good friends that were started their own fitness consulting business with Beachbody, the creator of P90x. They were founding coaches with the business and from Lincoln, NE just hours away from me. After reading the information online, I signed up to be a Team Beachbody Coach the first week of April. I dabbled in the business here and there but it wasn't until probably May or June of '09 that I realized that this was what I wanted to do as a full-time career. So, I sat down and determined MY WHY. Here is what I came up with for goals and I'd like to share them with you, my viewers.

1. To replace my full-time income that I left in January of '09.
2. Work from home at my own pace. Be a stay-at-home mom when we decide to start a family.
3. Pay off my personal debt
4. Build a new home

Since the day that I enrolled with Team Beachbody as an online fitness coach, I have been so blessed to have found this amazing opportunity and to have wonderful leaders in Doug and Tammie Fitzgerald. I have met so many incredible people and built friendships that will last for a very long time.

This past week, I met and achieved a BIG goal of mine which was to become a Diamond coach with Beachbody. With a little under 35,000 coaches in the United States I knew this was going to be the time to work hard and build my business right away. My initial goal was to reach this status before December 1st, and I did it with a month to go! Now, onto my next goal which is to help my team of Beachbody coaches get to Emerald and above! This is such an incredible opportunity. If you are interested in making a change with not only your physical health but your financial health as well, this is the company to do it with. Our team is very progressive and one that will take time to get you started on your way to reaching your goals.



Now is the time to Decide. Commit. Succeed!

Starting Insanity Month 2

I am alive and more insane than when I first started this intense 60 day program but during the first month, I have lost 8 lbs and 2 inches off my hips and thighs which I couldn't be more happier about. During the first month I really didn't follow the Elite Nutrition Guide that the program comes with but still had some great results. (I don't recommend not following the plan). I have decided once and for all that if I am going to be working out this hard to get results, I had better start to eat like an athlete and remove all of the junk out of my diet. Otherwise, why go to all of the effort. I have about 20 pounds that I would really like to lose in addition to what I have already lost due to the first month and P90X.

I am starting my last 30 days of Insanity and I have heard nothing but great things but also that it is much more challenging that month one. Not going to lie to you, I am a bit nervous but excited about finishing the first 30 days and being physically fit enough to move forward with the next month's workouts. First day is Fit Test AND Max Interval Circuit. wish me luck!

Beachbody's GAME PLAN delivers!

Eight months ago, I started on my journey as a Team Beachbody Coach. Essentially without any knowledge of what I was doing, zero marketing tools, or "game plan" of how I was going to go about succeeding in this business. The strange part is that I was OK with it because I was and still am lucky enough to have a GREAT group of Founding Coaches that started their businesses much like me 2.5 years ago. Up until a few weekends ago following an event called the "Game Plan" event, Beachbody had yet to provide their coaches with a streamlined approach that all coaches could use to build their businesses.

The "Game Plan" event was held in Dana Point, CA October 17th & 18th and it's purpose was to introduce qualified (Diamond and above) coaches to the new tools they had created to help us be successful coaches. The tools and knowledge that was unveiled during that weekend astounds me! I am very excited about all of the great tools that we now have as Beachbody Coaches to take our businesses to the next level! I have been using some of these tools including new DVD's, marketing tools, and a step by step guide to help us get started and grow a profitable business and my business has started to grow exponentially!

Beachbody's "Game Plan" is a blueprint to success designed to give new and old Beachbody coaches direction and support toward growing a large organization.

The actual "Game Plan" is a 10 important steps and/or principles that new and old coaches can follow. Here are the 10 steps to success!

1. Hold a "Get Started Right" Interview with your upline or sponsoring coach. Do this within at least 24-48 hours of signing up a new coach. Use this time to identify and set your "why" or your personal goals for this business. It is also a great time to get connected with your coach and create an action plan for the future.

2. Committ to your Beachbody fitness and nutrition program. --It is important to "Walk the Walk" in this business or else no one will believe what you are saying or want to join your team. Be a product of the product and you will reap the benefits of better health physically and financially.

3. Commit to at least 2 exposures a day! --Use the new 3rd party tools (anything other than yourself) provided by Beachbody to help retail and recruit. These are great tools because you don't have to use the excuse that you don't know how to talk about what we offer or what we do. These tools do all of the work for you!

4. Attend ONE local event a week!--These might include webinars, Beachbody Briefings, or home parties. This will help keep you informed and motivated to continue your efforts.

5. Attend ALL Team Beachbody Corporate Events. --This includes both regional and national events. I use this events to keep me pumped up for my business and excited to share with others. These events are a great time to introduce new prospects to Team Beachbody so use them as much as you can.

6. Treat your Team Beachbody business like a business. --If you were to invest 500,000 into a franchise you would more than likely spent as much time on making sure that business would prosper. The great thing is that you haven't invested that much time and money into Beachbody but the rewards will be just the same as if you did. Manage your time to maximize productivity, work a daily plan, and stay in phase one which is always learning and growing your business.

7. Apply the Laws of Duplication--the most important thing to do in your business is to first LEARN, DO, TEACH, then REPEAT. Remembering and practicing this process will ensure that your business grows exponentially and that your coaches business does as well.

8. Commit to Personal Development--at least 10-15 minutes a day of reading a book, listening to an audio CD or attending a class will ensure that you continually grow as a person. This is one of the most important steps in growing your business with Beachbody, or any business for that matter.

9. Find a Success Partner--finding someone to join you in your business venture with Team Beachbody is key. This person will be someone who will help you achieve more and also one to help keep you on track for success.

10. Be Here a Year from Now--starting a business with Team Beachbody doesn't take a lot of upfront investment so know that you will not start to experience profits immediately. It takes time to experience significant gains and therefore you must be willing to put in consistent effort for a significant period of time. So, do what it takes over and over again until you get the results you are looking for.

So, I am glad that you took time to review the 10 Steps to building an effective business with Team Beachbody. Not yet a Team Beachbody Coach? Visit my website and fill out the form and I will in return, send you additional information! Talk soon!

What Does A Beachbody Coach Do?

I decided to become a Team Beachbody Coach in April 2009 to expand my fitness and wellness consulting business and broaden my customer base. After purchasing Tony Horton's P90X program in February of '09, sticking with the program, and experiencing results in only a month, I knew there was something incredible to Beachbody's home fitness programs. Did I know at the time that there was a home business opportunity that went along with this amazing company? NO, honestly, I had no idea. So, after about 2 weeks of talking back and forth with my sponsoring coach in Lincoln, NE and reviewing the compensation plan, I decided to sign up and proudly take the name of an Independent Beachbody Coach.

When I started telling my friends, family and colleagues about my new business venture, the most commonly asked question was "Well, what exactly does a Beachbody Coach do?" Great question, isn't it? Beachbody, for those of you who don't' know is the creator of some of the country's top home fitness programs including P90X, Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, Slim in 6, Turbo Jam, and ChaLENE Extreme! For over 10 years, this company has been providing Americans with fun and effective fitness programs that they can do from the comfort of their own home! They have revolutionized the fitness industry because no long do we need to rely on expensive gym memberships or quarky home gym equipment to look and feel great! All you need is a space in your home, a DVD player, and the motivation to "Push Play" everyday which is where we, as Team Beachbody Coaches come in!

Even though there have been millions of success stories created before the coaching business was offered by Beachbody, CEO Carl Daikeler decided that people needed more support and who better than people who have experienced real results with his products. Two in a half years ago, he decided to open up a home business opportunity for people looking to inspire and support others along their fitness journey.

What qualifications do you need to become a Team Beachbody Coach? Do you need to have a fitness certification or degree? Must have a firm grasp of nutrition, fitness, or health promotion? Absolutely NOT! What you must have is the drive to help others reach their fitness goals, walking the walk when it comes to fitness, and ready to support other Beachbody customers from the comfort of your own home. Those are the qualifications to become a Beachbody Coach, at least on my team of successful coaches!

As a Team Beachbody Coach we are responsible for:
  1. Working out and eating healthier
  2. Inspiring others to live fit and healthy.
  3. Supporting Beachbody customers that the company sends you! Yep, you read that right!
  4. Sharing the incredible opportunity of becoming a Beachbody Coach with others that want to do what you do. Build a team of other successful coaches to help reduce the trend of overweight and obesity.
A quick video that does the best job of giving you a glimpse into what a Team Beachbody Coach does!
