Beachbody

This may seem uncharacteristic of me, mostly because I'm usually a pretty private person when it comes to my personal weight loss adventures. Those that have seen me or seen pictures of me know that I gain a whole lot of weight during my pregnancies. I'm not sure how much of this is genetics (my mom gained 80 pounds when she was pregnant with me) or just the mentality of "I'm gaining weight anyway, those peanut M & Ms won't matter." I'm sure the latter had a greater role in my 50 pound weight gain with this last pregnancy. Many of you also know that just before I became pregnant with Miles, I had become the most fit I have ever been in my adult life. This was a result of my husband and I working hard together to complete several in-home workouts as well as making more nutritious choices. We first completed ChaLEAN Extreme which is a 90 day heavy weight lifting workout, then we completed Insanity. (an INSANE cardio workout) We also participated in a Beachbody challenge group. A Beachbody Challenge group is an online group where you check in with your workouts, healthy meals and any other needed motivation. This challenge group held me accountable for my daily choices and ultimately, my participation in the group led to extreme success. I'm the kind of person that likes to finish what I start and do what I say I'm going to do, So when I originally committed to participating in a challenge group I knew I would give it my best effort to finish it!   I'm also a big fan of schedules. The Beachbody programs (Insanity, P90X, PIYO, FocusT25 etc. ) are laid out in a schedule which was perfect for me. I found that when I took the time to exercise daily, I was more productive and energized throughout the rest of the day,  

The point is, I hadn't seen my body change into what I wanted it to until I began working with Beachbody products as part of a challenge group. That is what I found works for me.

Haha, we look so tough!

 And I was then able to finish a triathlon Sprint while 12 weeks pregnant. 

For me, personally, I'm not able to get to the gym or leave the house for a long run very often. Yes, my husband could be home with the kids but I like to spend time with him too and I'm not happy if we never get to see each other which is another reason why working out at home is best for me. 

Because of the success that I have achieved with Beachbody, I have decided to become a Beachbody coach, which basically means I will be hosting those same challenge groups that led me to great success. I can invite those of you that are interested to join a challenge group and we can work together to achieve our goals. Beachbody has products that will help you succeed, specifically their challenge packs which come with the workout you choose (and there are a lot of them, for all different abilities)  and a months supply of Shakeology for a discounted price.

This is me now,, I have this beautiful child in my arms which is so worth the rigors of pregnancy, but it definitely took a toll on my body. I'm determined to feel strong and healthy again. I have two sturdy little boys that I need and want to keep up with. 

By becoming a coach I am increasing my accountability and able to work alongside people I care about to reach worthwhile goals. 

I put this LINK together if you want to learn more information about the company and products or just send me a Facebook message, text, email or blog comment. 

I'm not a sales person and I will not pressure you to buy anything. I'm simply sharing what has enriched my life and inviting you to learn about it to see if it is something that you could benefit from. I know you are ultimately in charge of your own health and you need to make the best decision for your self.
