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.

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!!
