Super Saturday

Every quarter, Beachbody holds Super Saturdays across the country to reach more people and to keep us coaches engaged and motivated to End the Trend of Obesity.  This past Saturday I hosted my second Super Saturday at my house.

I was hesitant to do it because we had just gotten back from Vegas the week before and I was still recovering from lack of sleep. But, if there was one thing I learned in Vegas it was to go for it and not just wait for things to happen. If you want to make your dreams a reality, then you have to take action and not sit around hoping for them to come true. So, I wasn't even able to do it "officially" because I waited until the last minute, but I got the event together and invited all of our local coaches I have the privilege of knowing, either through my own team or other Super Saturday events.

Last Super Saturday, we had FOUR coaches here. This time, we had TWELVE, from different teams and even some guests who are not coaches yet, but interested in this opportunity.

We had a great time getting to know each other, learning about the amazing things Beachbody has in store for us in the upcoming months and doing one of the brand new PiYO workouts!

We are looking for this event to be even BIGGER in September! WHY should you make it a priority to be there? Meeting new people, growing your business, getting inspired, learning how YOU can meet your goals and make your dreams come true! Mark your calendars for September 27, 2014! I think we're gonna have to move to a bigger and better space so I'm on the lookout! :)

3-Day Refresh

So, if you remember, I did the Shakeology 3 day cleanse back in February and had awesome results. However, that cleanse was just created by coaches as a type of fasting and quick fix. It works, but does not give your body everything it needs in terms of fiber and different proteins. So..... the amazing team at Beachbody created the 3 Day Refresh.

 The Refresh consists of Shakeology, a vanilla protein shake, a fiber sweep drink, lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy fats, tons of water and optional green tea. It is a great program for anyone who wants to kick-start a healthier lifestyle and make a break from your bad habits. It's healthy to use as often as once a month or whenever you feel your body could use a little detox. It comes with everything you need to get started. You'll just have to shop for your fresh fruits and veggies.

So, my husband, Cass, tried it out for me since I'm 25 weeks pregnant. He did great with it. You can add exercise to the program but he only exercised one day and still lost 6 pounds and I can certainly tell a difference in the pictures. He never went hungry and felt pretty good the entire time!

Want to try it for yourself? Of course! Nothing to lose but weight and unhealthy habits! Just click on the 3-Day Refresh Icon below and choose 3-Day Refresh to get started ASAP and get ME as your FREE coach! It's on special for July only so hurry!

New Coaches Get Started RIGHT

As I have continued to grow through this amazing Beachbody journey, my team is growing by leaps and bounds as well. I am so blessed to have some amazing people in my life thanks to this opportunity I took and decided to go ALL IN just a year ago! My favorite part has quickly become the support I have received, in turn given, and the relationships that have developed. People I never would have known are now some of the most important people in my life.

Just love health and fitness and have a dream of inspiring others? Maybe this would be perfect for you!

I just returned from Beachbody SUMMIT where I was surrounded by thousands of the most inspiring people I have ever met, and I am ready to PAY IT FORWARD and share all I have learned!

PiYO

The latest and greatest workout program from Beachbody is HERE! I was lucky enough to take a LIVE class with Chalene last week at Summit in Las Vegas and, let me tell you, it's an awesome workout! Cass did it with me and was a sweaty mess! I even did it at 24 weeks pregnant and think this could be an awesome program for pregnant women who need that extra push. It will especially help with flexibility and strength for the long haul!

You get the best of everything with cardio combined with pilates and yoga- burning calories all while keeping it low impact so that it's easy on your joints and great for those who have had injuries.  It still has a fast pace to help burn fat and sculpt long, lean muscles.

Perfect for: People who want an extreme program without the jumps, weights or joint strain. Great for people of all fitness levels who want the benefits of Pilates and yoga, but feel these programs lack the cardio they need for the results they crave. And YES I plan to do the entire program pregnant! I will update you as I go. :) Check out this video and see if PiYO is for you!

Equipment required: NADA

Details: Each workout is 25-45 minutes, depending on the day. The plan calls for working out 6 days a week. There are modifications and anyone can do it.

WHY Beachbody

So I am currently in a group of Beachbody coaching pushing to become better and get outside of our own comfort zones. This is only my 3rd day, but I am already learning so much about myself and why it is so important not to stay stuck in one place for too long.

Before Beachbody, personal development was nonexistent in my world. Now, it is part of my daily routine. I read for at least 10 minutes and/or listen to an inspiring audio book. Do you drive to and from work every day? Perfect opportunity to make your car your personal development hub. You would be amazed how much you can learn and how good you'll feel just incorporating this small amount of personal development into your days.

I fell in love with the Beachbody product, but so much more than that, now I have fallen in love with the people and with helping people develop and become better, stronger versions of themselves. It has been so rewarding. In true fashion of stepping outside of my comfort zone, this is my first ever youtube video. Check it out :)

I have a lot to learn about YouTube and making videos, but for now I will have fun with it and go out to INSPIRE others!

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bars

These oatmeal bars are so good and great for the weekend or to make ahead for weekday breakfast. Also yummy for an afternoon snack. I use coconut sugar in these which has much lower glycemic index than refined sugar and is natural.

Ingredients:

• 2 and 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/4 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup almond milk- I like Silk brand because it is non-GMO
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips- I like Sunspire or Enjoy Life brand

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease 8x8 square (or 9x9 inch) baking pan with coconut oil or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Mix together oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add in the milk, vanilla, and egg. Mix together until evenly combined. Add mashed bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. Stir well.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and cut into bars.

I think these would be just as delicious without the chocolate chips. Try it if you want less sugar.

Egg muffins

I know most of us are in a hurry in the morning and for a lot of people that means skipping breakfast, which really is the most important meal of the day to give you energy and get your metabolism going. That's why these egg muffins are perfect! You can really throw any ingredients in the mix that you want. Then you're set for the week! Just grab one or two out the fridge, heat them up and head out the door!

This is not a super specific recipe because there can be so much variation with ingredients and measurements based on your taste.

Ingredients:
-12 eggs
-Chopped red pepper
-Chopped onion
-Salt
-Pepper
-Italian seasoning

Alternatives: chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, cheese, organic turkey sausage. The possibilities are endless!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin with coconut oil or place muffin liners. Mix all ingredients together until eggs are well beaten. Spread evenly into 12 muffin cups. Bake for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
