Beachbody Coaching Info

Coaching for Beachbody is simple!

1. You sign up
2. You get other people to sign up to be a coach (2 under you)
3. Once you have 2 people signed up under you, and you are a member of Beachbody - and have a certain amount of workouts logged in each week...you become Emerald!
4. Once you are Emerald, you get customers placed under you. And then...your business will grow. Those customers buy off your website, and you get commission. And it can only go up from there!!!

There are stay-at-home mom's out there who are making 5,000 a week just by doing Beachbody. It is all about the time you initially put into it. It can only go up. And it is flexible. You do it when it works for you. But the best part about it...wanna know?? You don't have to have a perfect body in order to be a coach. You just need to be working toward a good goal. And, you aren't going out there and selling some product that nobody wants or needs...you are selling fitness. If someone asks how I lost weight (I was at 162 after I had Noah...now I am down to 126)...I tell them discipline, eating right...but also, drinking Shakeology! Yes, I am serious!!!
Wanna make a good investment in your health? Try it! If you buy Shakeology, and don't end up liking it...you can return it with a full refund! That simple! Go Here for info on Shakeology!

And for you who are still on the fence about coaching, just remember what is important to you! For me, it is spending time with my family...and not worrying about finances all the time. Here you go...your opportunity! Work hard at this "job" and it'll pay off. More time with kids because you won't be working as much...and more money to help out! I know some mom's are using just what they make off Beachbody each month to pay for their mortgage! It's no gimmick!!! It's for real! Go here to sign up, and change not only your life....but other's as well!

And remember, it is usually about 40 dollars to sign up to be a coach! It is free until Jan. 7th!

Let me know if you have any questions!!!

Snacktime

What is your favorite snack? And I mean, healthy snack?

I have two...one of which is very handy. And one I usually only eat at home.

**1/4 cup almonds with 1/4 cup cranberries (I carry it in my purse in case I get hungry) It's all about being prepared with healthy food if you're out and about. That way you don't end up eating something because you're starving, and regretting an unhealthy choice. But keep in mind, even though almonds are healthy, they also have the fat and calories. Good fat yes, so just watch your calories if you're trying to lose weight. Right now I am sticking to a 1200 calorie diet. If I work out, I make sure to replenish those calories that I burned. Just a tid-bit of info for ya!**My other fav...Deli Turkey wrapped around sliced bell peppers. That's it! So good, so healthy. Protein plus an excellent source of vitamins and antioxidants! Can't beat that!
Now tell me your healthy snacks?

5 Finger Shoes Journal Day 1

It's been...um, forever since I've posted! So I thought I'd start by saying that I am starting to train again for a half marathon. It is on May 7th, and I am doing it differently. I had many "injuries" last time around, and I wanted to avoid that as much as possible. So I am trying out the 5 finger shoes. Hey guess what? Did you know that we all have toes? Did you know that we're actually supposed to be using them? Weird! Anyway, I have been running all wrong...no wonder I got injured so much. So here it starts...my journal for the 5 finger shoes. I will be adding entries during my training about running...but more importantly, running with these new "non-shoes." So here we go.

The theory: Our feet evolved over millions of years to be efficient tools for bipedal propulsion, and then we immobilized the poor things in rubber, wrecking our natural gaits and atrophying our muscles. In the FiveFingers, Vibram makes a commodity out of the state of nature, an $80 shoe that simulates not wearing shoes. Tony says that regular training with these minimalist kicks can lead to increased stamina and lower injury rates--once you get used to them. -Runner's World

Journal:
Day 1: I ran for 7 minutes and 30 seconds TOTAL. John told me I have to start out slow to build up the muscles that haven't really been used in this capacity. So I ran on the treadmill at about speed 5.0, and I did that for about an 1/8th of a mile, then it happened. My Tibialis Anteriors, one word...BURN!!!!

I knew it would happen, so I was prepared for it. So I slowed down my pace to a painful 2.5 on the ol' treadmill! I say painful because it is soooo slow! Painfully slow. But I know that I have to take baby steps in order for this to work. If you over-do it, you'll get injuries! But if you do it right, you will prevent future injuries. It will be worth it, I know it! At one point I closed my eyes and tried to really listen to my body and use my feet like we were naturally born to do. As it turns out, I have balance issues. So I opened my eyes so I wouldn't fall off the treadmill. I will have to listen to my body with my eyes open. So day 1, successful!

I feel good! Now off to practice some PiYo, so I can actually teach it on Thursday!
