Wrapping Up an Exciting Weekend AND Big Plans This Week!

This weekend has been SO much fun for me! 

Yesterday Burney and I traveled to Tampa for our quarterly meeting with about 400 other Beachbody Coaches from the area.  The energy at these events is INFECTIOUS and it’s so exciting to be surrounded by so many other Coaches who are sharing their health and fitness journeys while helping so many others.  One Coach shared his journey with us – he’s a teacher and is in his 60’s and was in horrible shape (he admitted that!).  He began using our 21 Day Fix program and changing his life with better nutrition (along with Shakeology) AND exercise last year after an eye-opening appointment with his doctor.  Now – he has seen amazing changes in his labwork – his cholesterol and A1c are significantly lower and he’s taking less medication.  And he continues to reach his goals of being healthier.  His success inspired him to become a Coach about one month ago – he’s ready to share this with everyone!  

As a pharmacist – this transformation story makes me SO VERY EXCITED for him.  I know that medication is not the answer to everything – health begins with us.  We CAN prevent and control some diseases with healthy nutrition and exercise.  Seeing his crying on stage because of pure happiness - in front of 400 strangers - was heartwarming and inspiring!  

His story and so many of my own challengers’ stories remind me that ANYONE can also take control of their own health in the same way.   

As a health and fitness Coach – each day I have the amazing privilege of watching people set goals – reach goals – get healthier – eat healthier – exercise regularly – set more goals and reach even more goals!  EVERY DAY I’m inspired by the amazing people who’ve allowed me to help coach them on their journeys.

I will begin another new group this month on the 25th if you’re ready to begin your journey – I’m ready to help!  There is a questionnaire at the bottom of this post for you to complete – then I will be in touch and we will get started!

NOW – on to THIS week!

I’m going to begin exercise again on Tuesday!  And I’m back to work on Wednesday!  My 7 days of rest will wrap up tomorrow – my ribs are healing as well as can be expected :-)  and I know now not to push myself too hard with weights for at least another week or so.  And I have to tell you that Burney did not think I would rest for 7 days – it’s a little fun to prove him wrong!

I’ve made my meal plan for the new week along with my workout schedule.  I will begin by walking Tuesday and add modified PiYo beginning Wednesday.  And I CAN’T WAIT to get back to it!  I’ve missed the pure joy of exercise.  It’s the perfect stress reliever – helps keep me focused – and helps to relax me – all while keeping me healthier.

This is my meal plan for this week – I keep my meal plans uncomplicated and tend to eat the same foods for breakfast (Shakeology of course!) and snacks.  That keeps it simple and it’s less that I have to think about.  On the days that I work – because I’m working until 8 PM – I choose foods that Burney can cook easily or we have leftovers those nights.  

Don’t forget that I have a free 7 day Clean Eating FIX group beginning tomorrow – there is still time to be added into that group!  I will share the basics of clean eating & the principles of clean eating – meal planning tips – actual meal plans including recipes – and more!  You can complete the questionnaire below – I will be in touch – and we’ll get you added into the group.
