Lose weight in 2015

2015 is Around the Corner

Do you have a New Year Resolution?


With January 1st upon us in less than a month, the chitter & chatter of New Year Resolutions will be all around us and of course one of the TOP resolutions is to lose weight.  But, why is it that every year we tell ourselves that this will be the year we get fit, trim and healthy but still we tend to fail??



One of the #1 reasons we fail is because we were not mentally prepared and we were too vague going into the year and that's why NOW is the time to make a plan, set goals and write them down.

Follow my 3 Be's and you will BE successful the New Year!!


Be Specific - How much weight would you like to lose and by what date? The more specific you make your goal, the more likely you are to succeed.

Be Prepared - How are you going to lose the weight?  Do you have a plan or a program? Don't wake up on the 1st thinking "now what?"  Have a solid plan.

Be Positive - Don't start 2015 with the fear of failing, self doubts or negative thoughts. If you have the mindset to fail, you most likely will. 


Time is Ticking!!!

I have several online fitness challenges coming up in the New Year so don't hesitate to join or ask me for more information .... You don't have to tackle this alone because I'm telling you, I'll be right by your side the whole time!!


I look forward to discussing the possibilities & hearing about your goals!

Sincerely
xo

Encourage Others



I love this!!  


Becoming a Beachbody coach isn't about having fancy certificates, special knowledge or a specific background. It's about having a passion to help and encourage others. Getting messages from my challengers about how they've broken their soda addiction, feel amazing as they drop the inches, they're excitement of holding longer planks and more is what drives me every single day. I too am just a student who is hoping to help one person at a time become the healthiest version of them that they can be....together we are a work in progress and I am so grateful for everyone of my customers  xoxo

Red & Yellow = Caution!!

Drive down any main street in the city and you’re likely to see a similar scene. Whether it’s McDonald’s golden arches, Arby's cool hat, or Wendy's sweet little pigtails, fast food logos all have one element in common– color. Take a look around and you’ll see that most fast food logos contain one or more of the following colors– red and yellow. That’s because, according to the color theory, these colors are known to subconsciously trigger hunger and/or induce excitement. Another thing that is interesting, if not a bit worrying that the exact same colors are commonly used in warning signs!!

These colors encourage guests to spend more and leave quickly– which is exactly what fast food restaurants want you to do. Research has shown that people eat more in a room with warm color surroundings as opposed to consuming food in a room painted in cold colors such as blue, black, or purple. As a matter of fact, studies have shown that these colors actually suppress appetite because they are associated with foods that may have become spoiled or foods that may be toxic.

Still not convinced? Take a gander at the logos below. These guys obviously know what colors work best in their line of business.




Happy Eating!!




Reason #3 You may not be losing weight.

No ladies......Lifting won't make you bulky!!



If you're only doing cardio, you're missing out on a great weight-loss secret that could be the reason you're not seeing results: strength training. The more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn.

If you're worried about looking bigger, not smaller once you grab those dumbbells, don't be. Lifting weights won't make you bulk up. While you may see an uptick on the scale when you first start building muscle, don't worry — toned muscles help define and sculpt your body, which means you'll actually look thinner.

Reason #2 You may not be losing weight!!

One simple sentence......If you bite it - write it!

When you're trying to lose weight, it's hard to resist temptation at every turn. Unfortunately, those little tastes can add up in the calorie department more than you will realize. Even if you think you're being vigilant, you may not know that 100 calories of your favorite candy isn't as much as you thought. So what is one of the best ways to ensure you stay on the right track when you're looking to drop pounds? Stay accountable by keeping a food journal to track your calorie intake — and that's for EVERY single thing you eat and drink.
It may seem tedious, but if you're serious about your goals, making sure you're jotting everything you eat down (or adding to a smartphone app like MyFitnessPal) will hold you accountable and keep right on your calorie goals. This habit has helped many people see results without feeling deprived when they first set out on a weight-loss journey: in fact, one study found that those who logged what they ate six days a week lost twice as much weight as those who only kept track of a day or less.
Want to write your own success story? Remember this simple mantra: if you bite it, write it!

Reason #1 You May Not Be Losing Weight

The drinking mistake that is actually costing you pounds!!

 
 
You already know that drinking enough water every day boosts your immune
 system and helps keep you looking young, but did you know it can also help in your quest to lose weight? That's because many people confuse dehydration with hunger, causing them to eat more when all their body is craving is a tall glass of water. Drinking enough H2O is an easy way to help your belly feel satisfied without overeating.
 
Drinking water helps your waistline in other ways, too. A recent study showed that dehydrated people did fewer reps and felt tired faster when they were exercising, which can mean hundreds of fewer calories burned. Also, making a habit of drinking water with lemon throughout the day helps many people feel less bloated — hello, flat abs!
 
 
Want to use water to your weight-loss advantage? The next time you feel like snacking, have a glass of water first to see how hungry you feel afterward. And when you sit down for dinner, make sure you drink a glass of water before chowing down. You can also keep a big pitcher of lemon, mint, cucumber, and ginger water in your fridge to help you detox and de-bloat all day long. In the meantime, make sure you carry a water bottle around with you everywhere you go and keep track of the water you intake.

7 Days to Feel GREAT!!

What if I told you that you could feel GREAT in just 7 days??

It seems crazy, right? But impossible??.......No!!!


I'm sure you've probably heard of Shakeology - "The Healthiest Meal of the Day".
But of course, who's opinion is that anyways?....plus are you really going to invest in a months supply without even knowing if you will even like it?? Probably not!!

First let me tell you why I love Shakeology ....

#1 - 70 Ingredients....WHAT??  Fruits, Veggies, Super foods, Antioxidants, Probiotics, its all natural, there's NO caffeine, NO artificial flavors or sweeteners and even comes in Vegan. This is my daily dose of nutrition and I know for a fact that I couldn't possibly ingest these sources of nutrients in ONE day any other way.  This is what FUELS my body daily!! The best part....I can read the label and actually recognize the ingredients! (quinoa, spinach, blueberries, wheatgrass, flax, chia, acai berry......I could go on and on)

 
 
#2 - I feel GREAT!!  When I first started drinking Shakeology, I had NO idea what it was.....it came with my T25 program and I was told to drink it for best results, so I did!!  I am truly addicted and can't imagine it not a part of my daily life and diet. I noticed immediately a huge increase in energy....Natural energy!! It helped fight that afternoon sluggish feeling that would come over me like clockwork everyday at 2 pm, my skin began to clear up, my recovery from workout has been reduced and the pain and swelling I'd get in my knees and shins diminished as well!!
Plus good-bye mood swings..... I knew I was in love!!
 
#3 - What it has done to people around me is indescribable!! I absolutely love introducing people to Shakeology and of course everyone is skeptical at first especially with all these quick fix companies and their "weight loss" shakes.  I'm proud to say that Shakeology doesn't even fit into those categories and you will not drink this and magically drop any weight!! Once I get people to understand this is a REAL health drink, with REAL ingredients they too fall in love.
 To see diabetics able to lower their blood sugar readings, ladies and men with lower cholesterol numbers, people having the energy to play with their children more, soda pop habits kicked to the curb and more is unreal.....What could Shakeology do for you?
 

Shakeology is preventative measure you can add to your life, why would you not want to invest in yourself!!

 

So Now What??? Are you still on the fence??

Join my 7 Day Shakeology Challenge and find out what 7 days could do for YOU!
 


Its easy......Lets spend 7 days together and I will help you learn to love Shakeology and eat cleaner in a small group setting and who knows, you might actually LOVE it too!!

What's your prescription??






 We all know that exercise does the body good but sometimes stress, depression, anxiety and other issues in our life seem to get in the way. Exercise is actually a miracle cure!! Not only is exercise a prescription for SO many health issues but its also a preventative measure we can all take to reduce many illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.
 
The best part about exercise is:
its free, easy to take, has an immediate effect and you don't need to go see your family doctor to get it!!

It doesn't matter how old you are or how fit you are.....Everyone can benefit from living a more active lifestyle. Research shows that physical activity can also boost self-esteem, your mood, sleep quality and energy, as well as reducing your risk of stress, depression, anxiety and so much more.

Make a decision TODAY to add physical activity into not only your life, but your families lives too!!

Beachbody Coaching in Canada!!


Here it is..... the OFFICIAL press release!
Beachbody's Coaches Network is now in CANADA!!!!
What are you waiting for?? Let me show you the way 






Beachbody's Coaches Network Expands Into Canada, Offering Canadians Cutting-Edge Fitness and Nutrition With Unrivaled Peer Support

With a Thriving Direct Sales Network of 200,000 "Coaches" In The United States, Health and Fitness Leader Ventures Into New Territory

LOS ANGELES, CA, Sept. 3, 2014 /CNW/ - Beachbody®, the pioneering fitness company behind products such as P90X®, 21 Day Fix® and Focus T25®, announced today the expansion of its Team Beachbody Coach Network into Canada. This multi-level marketing division of parent Beachbody, LLC, with over 200,000 independent distributors in the U.S. (called accountability "Coaches"), will continue its ongoing mission in the fight to end the trend of obesity in North America by also empowering Canadian consumers with proven programs to achieve their weight loss, fitness and health goals.

According to U.S. News & World Report, obesity rates in Canada have more than tripled in less than three decades. The report estimates one in five Canadians will be obese by 2019, making this expansion into Canada timelier than ever. Team Beachbody will offer Canada's 35-million residents cutting-edge fitness products, groundbreaking nutritional supplements like Shakeology® along with a robust system of peer support, plus prizes and rewards for weight loss success. This potent formula has proven to help millions of people succeed in achieving truly life-changing goals.

"We are proud of the positive impact Beachbody has made on millions of Americans and Canadians over the last 16 years of marketing our programs on TV. The real game-changer is the entire program including support which we can offer through our Team Beachbody network," said Carl Daikeler, CEO of Beachbody, LLC. "Expanding that model into Canada is an extremely exciting step in building a positive force of people-helping-people overcome obesity and the consequential lifestyle diseases."

As the leader in direct-response marketing on television (infomercials) since 2008, Beachbody's brands are already well established in Canada, and the company believes the addition of Team Beachbody will be a spark to attract entrepreneurs who want to create financial freedom for themselves while also helping people get healthy, the same way it has in the U.S. As of August 28th, 2014, Canadians can now join this movement, which has grown over 50% per year since its launch, to become Independent Team Beachbody Coaches representing Beachbody's best-in-class weight loss and fitness programs.

"The Canadian market provides an ideal platform to significantly expand the Coaches Network," said Arnauld Nakaha, Beachbody's Senior Director of Regional Sales. "Canadians love Beachbody and share a common bond with the United States - the fight against obesity. But more important, Canada embodies a deeply caring and highly social culture, which is ideal for a grassroots opportunity like Team Beachbody."

Get Fit 4 Life

It seems common for people to focus on their weight twice a year, as a New Years resolution and to get bikini ready for summer. Most get all excited, buy new workout clothes, a gym membership and do great for 4-6 weeks and their goals fade into just a thought they once had. Its a vicious circle which happens time after time, year after year. 
Now that summer is coming to an end, I'm hoping to find those who are not looking for an excuse to get fit, but those who want to make a lifestyle change and get fit for life. 
I want to spend 60 days with you in my next challenge group starting September 15th where we touch base daily, share recipe ideas & healthy eating suggestion, discuss accomplishments and even confess ours daily struggles. I want you to join what will be your new "Fit Fam" where you'll get the greatest support and accountability which will help you take those first steps to get into the best shape of your life.
 

100% Money Back Guarantee and So Much to Gain.....

  • Align: The Fundamentals teaches you the basics...PiYo terminology, proper alignment and available modifications at the same time that Chalene takes you through a strengthening flow that will have your blood pumping.
  • Drench where you will go through a warm-up and a stretch of upper and lower body, a power section that gets your heart up, then focus on your lower body to improve muscle endurance, balance, and flexibility.

Alternate between intervals of hardcore body weight resistance exercises and heart rate elevating athletic moves that melt away fat and promote long, lean muscle development

Turn your TV off and get outside!!

Remember when playing outside meant spending hours running around and bike riding with your friends until those street lights came on??



It's sad how quickly things have changed!!
I find it shocking that children and youth now spend an average of 7 hours 48 minutes in front of a T.V., video game console and computer screens DAILY!! This is crazy and we wonder why child obesity in Canada alone has TRIPLED over the past 3 decades.
Right now there are a BILLION people worldwide who are overweight and 300 MILLION are obese....it is time we as adults put a STOP to this because if we don't and this trend continues, by 2040 up to 70% of adults aged 40 will be overweight.
Join me and let's teach our children healthy habits starting NOW with 4 easy steps.
• 5 servings of fruits and veggies every day
• 2 hours or LESS of screen time every day
• 1 hour or more of physical activity every day
• ZERO sugar sweetened beverages per day

WHO'S WITH ME???

If you love your children, do something positive for their future!!
June 21st is The Longest Day of Play. Get out there with your kids, take some pictures....I'd love to see
