21 Day Fix Extreme Update

Officially made it to Day 9!!! It is amazing because I truly thought I would have caved in by now and cheating with some nachos, pizza, muffins...anything.  Plus sticking to the meal plan while being on vacation for a few days was an achievement. And personally, me going 9 days without frozen yogurt is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Funny part is though, when you are eating healthy, working out, and in a routine holding each other accountable, it doesn't seem that hard at all.  Your cravings go away, thanks to shakeology too, and you don't think about the junk food.  I really do not miss it...OK I MISS THE FRO YO!  But on the days I can have 2 fruit servings, I blend up frozen strawberries and banana and that is my make shift fro yo.  SO good!

How are the workouts??

Well, I have to admit after going through insanity max 30, I thought they would be a breeze.  Boy was I wrong.  Autumn pushes you with utilizing the weights and giving minimal breaks.  I feel like the second I have a sip of water, we are already going again.  I like this because it keeps your mind focused on the exercises and not on the soreness you are beginning to feel.



How is the meal plan?  

My girlfriend and I have stuck to it!  Is it hard?  YES.  And I say yes because it seems like we spend a lot of time in the kitchen.  But comparing week 1 meal prep to week 2, we are speeding up the process.  Make several servings of each dish, use teamwork in the kitchen, have one person chopping while the other is using the stove...little ways to make it go by faster.  And come the end of meal prep, our fridge is full of tupperware containers ready to go!!

How are the recipes?

Tried Autumns Vegetable egg cups which are to die for and great to take on the go.  And we tried the turkey chili. With how cold it has been in New England, this was the perfect dinner to warm us up.
This week Chicken Fajitas and Turkey Meatballs, and Hearty Beef and Butternut Squash Stew are going to be tried from the 21 Day Fix Extreme book!!  Can not wait!





How are the results?

So far we have not taken inches but I can tell that I have a bit more room in my jeans which is never a bad thing!  On the scale we have dropped a few pounds, but ultimately the goal is to feel better, and feel healthier.  My skin has cleared up just by e



ating healthier and getting enough water / sleep in my life.  It is awesome to see that fueling your body does to you on the inside and out.  Less cover up is always a goal! haha

So heading into week 2, here is our meal plan!  It will be hard again towards the end of the week since we will be traveling for work, but again holding each other accountable will get us through!

Are all Beachbody Coaches the same??

This is a question among many others that come up often so I figured I would blog about it.

Are all Beachbody coaches the same??  NO!  

We are all different in that we have different stories, different journeys we took to where we are today, different backgrounds, and different things that motivate us to be a Beachbody coach.

Do I have to be in the best shape to be a Beachbody coach?? NO! 

Coaches can just be starting on their weight loss/healthy journey, in the middle, or at the stage of maintaining.  Coaching is about having a love and belief in the products and sharing that with others. Being a "product of the product" is one of the vital behaviors Beachbody coaches do.  We do not sell. We are not marketers trying to convince you to buy something we do not believe in.  We use the products, trust the products, thus we promote them to those who are interested!

If I am a Beachbody coach, do I have to build a business around it?? NO!

In my mind, when it comes to the financial side...there are 3 main levels of Beachbody coaching:

Level 1:  I want to sign up purely for the 25% discount on all products.  I want to be the FIRST to know about new products. I want to be able to get products FIRST!

Level 2: I want to grow a small business out of it.  Earn a small monthly income to pay off loans, help with the mortgage, be able to have "fun" spending money, etc.  

Level 3: I want to make this my full time job.  I want to earn enough through Beachbody coaching to work from home all the time.  I want to be able to build my own team, build coaches underneath me, so that my team makes an impact on others!

Do I personally even need a Beachbody coach??  YES!  
And here is why:

Will I have support when first starting out as a Beachbody Coach?? YES!
One of the best parts about being a coach is that we are all in it together.  We all want to end the trend to obesity, help others eat healthier, live happier lives.  We have personal motivations as well, but you will never be on your own.  You will be placed in online coach apprenticeship groups, go through some online training, as well as always having your own personal beachbody coach give you assistance along the way!
