Picture this, December 2013, late one night after working a 12 hour shift at the pharmacy, tired, exhausted, sad. This is the night that this phase of my health and fitness journey began 3 years ago. When I drew the line in the sand and said enough was enough! The rest is in the video above :-)
Now that you've watched that, you know why I'm so crazy excited about my New Year Stronger You Health Bet Challenge (click HERE to read more details about this challenge)! This is the PERFECT time of year to draw that line in the sand, make a commitment to your own health and make a commitment to feeling better!
I'm going to share some of the questions that I've had so far about this challenge group and how I help as your Coach, Encourager, Supporter and Mentor.
-- What is a challenge group??
My answer: It's an online community of support, encouragement and motivation at your fingertips! In a private app that it simple to use. Literally a family of strong women with the same goals of feeling better, having more energy and being healthy. A challenge group with me and other amazing ladies on this health and fitness journey is so much fun! You will love this new community of women who begin to feel like family. This group will celebrate with you on your good days, support you on your bad days, and encourage you during your struggles. We will hold each other accountable to our workouts and healthy eating. Health and fitness is a journey full of ups and downs and we will be here with you all along the way!
-- What does a Coach do for me??
My answer: As your Coach, I'll share with you tools, tips and tricks to help make your health and fitness journey a little easier. Throughout the challenge I'll share meal planning tips, clean eating info, recipes, Shakeology recipes, healthy eating tips, exercise tips and so much more. I'm also here to help keep you accountable to your goals and your "why" for wanting to feel better and be healthier.
This is my challenge group formula for success!
-- What kind of workouts can I choose from? Are they hard? Do I have to go to the gym?
My answer: We (Beachbody) has almost any type of workout that you can imagine. Literally from yoga, to kickboxing, to dancing, to weightlifting. From extreme to not so extreme and everything in between! We workout from home either with DVDs or streaming online workouts.
We also have Beachbody On Demand -- the Netfilx of workouts!! This includes everything!!!
-- Do I have to workout all the time??
My answer: No! We don't workout all the time, but our goal is to exercise most days of the week at a minimum. I do believe that rest days are important too.
-- Do I have to video myself and post it on facebook?
My answer (after I laugh a little): Not at all! I'm videoing my workouts to help with my accountability and to help inspire one person to exercise that day! But, my challenge group members don't video their workouts and you don't have to either :-)
-- What kind of "diet" is this?
My answer: It's not a diet at all! I'm sharing tools, tips and info to help you learn about clean, healthy eating of REAL food. Our goal is to limit as much processed foods as we can to help make clean eating a lifestyle change that we can keep forever. Now, we do have occasional treats, because we're ALL human!!
-- Am I only allowed to eat salads?
My answer (after I laugh a little too): We DO eat salads, yes, but we also eat plenty of other real and healthy foods. Our goal is to avoid eating much processed or boxed foods and eat healthy proteins, fruits, vegetables, healthy carbs and healthy fats.
-- Is Shakeology a "diet" shake to help me loose weight?
My answer: No, Shakeology is not a diet shake. It's a nutrition shake loaded with over 70 whole food ingredients sourced from the best farms across the globe that helps us simplify our nutrition. It's a solution! I've been drinking Shakeology every single day for the last 3 years (I've only missed 2 days!) because this product supplies my body with nutrients that I was missing and can't possibly buy in the store. Shakeology contains superfoods, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes, protein and SO much more! It literally contains as many nutrients as eating about 7 salads!
-- What does Shakeology taste like?
My Answer: It depends on the flavor. We have 2 chocolate, 2 strawberries, vanilla, cafe latte and greenberry. And in my opinion, all of them are super tasty (I haven't tried greenberry though). It took me a few times to learn how I liked mine blended to get the texture just right with my ninja blender. But after I learned my perfect blend combo, I've loved it since then and have been drinking it for 3 years. Now, sometimes I blend for a thicker shake or just shake with ice for a thinner shake. And sometimes I make chocolate bark and Shakeology bites for a different treat.
-- How long does the challenge group last?
My answer: Our group will last From January 3rd through February 5th.
-- How much time commitment is the challenge group?
My answer: The group itself (within our private app) can be checked into on your own time any time of the day. It only takes a couple minutes to read the daily post, log your workouts, log your Shakeology and comment on other's posts to help support each other. Daily workouts are different depending on the program you choose, but range from 30 minutes up to 60 minutes. There is also a little time commitment to eat healthy and prep/cook healthy foods. But we cook anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem :-)
-- HOW DO I GET STARTED? What do I need to do?
My answer: WONDERFUL! If you and I haven't talked yet, all you need to do is complete the questionnaire below and I will be in touch with you tomorrow. We need to talk about your health goals, decide on a Beachbody program for you to use during this challenge, talk about Shakeology and then you'll need to have time to order your challenge pack through me and allow for shipping. We will use the first week to plan, prep and prepare and this way you'll have time to wait on the shipping of your challenge pack. (And don't forget the free gifts I'm giving to everyone who purchases a challenge pack by January 31st!)
*Remember that this group is only for those not already working with a Beachbody Coach OR for my current Customers and Coaches.
Tomorrow is the last day to commit to the challenge!
Complete the questionnaire below and we will talk tomorrow!
