WHAT IS A CHALLENGE GROUP?

So what is a challenge group you ask?

My challenge groups are run online in a secret group created on Facebook. Everyone committed to the group is required to have both a Beachbody workout and Shakeology. If you don't have either you can purchase them as a bundle to get more for your money which is called a challenge pack.  I can help you as a challenger to select a program based on your goals but more importantly a program that will be the best fit for you and that you like!  That is so important! 

What can you expect?

The week prior to the challenge start date will be whats called plan and prep. You know what they say... Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail.  
Within that week will be the time for you to know what your goals are why you want to change.  You will want to keep track of your measurements and progress photos.  We can go over custom meal plans and grocery lists also so you're prepared.  Challenge groups are a fun way to keep everyone focused on their goals.  Having support of others who you can relate to and have the same struggles with is key to success.  During the group you will see posts about workout tips and tricks, recipes, personal development, pictures of inspiration and motivation.  You may have some motivational assignments to keep everyone engaged and strong until you reach your finish line.  My job is to help you write your story. We become a huge support for each other and are like family.  

So here's a list of what you will need:

1. A Beachbody workout (you don't have to buy one if you already have one).

2. Shakeology.  Nutrition is 80% of your results.  Shakeology will give you the nutrition most diets lack.  It is a secret weapon and a must!  Shakeology is not a protein drink its a meal replacement.  Its full of nutrition and provides decreased cravings, energy, weight loss, and even supports digestion.  Its also known as "The Healthiest Meal Of Your Day" and is a critical component of your end result.  


So if you're anything like me you may be afraid or nervous, I get it!  We all start somewhere.  All you have to do is participate and enjoy the results!

DECIDE. COMMIT. SUCCEED.

I've made the decision to make a change and am committed to succeed!

Welcome to #FITgirlFORCE!

For most of my adult life I have gone up and down with my weight.  A few years before meeting Shawn, my Husband, I found myself with a true problem.  I had an eating disorder.  I would come home from work and go directly to the fridge and dive into something unhealthy of course even though I wasn't even hungry.  Here I was 40 lbs heavier and more miserable than I had ever been. I turned to food for comfort and one day I decided to make a change regardless of the struggles I was going through in my life at the time.  A few people from work were wanting to start our own version of the biggest loser.  The competition was about 6 months long and our annual Christmas party was the deadline.  There was a good group of us and every week we would do our weigh ins.  I felt discouraged at times because other people were losing significantly more than I was.  But I kept going and being consistent.  I didn't do any fad diet or take any pills.  My goal was to sustain my weight loss by eating healthy and working out.  Fast forward to the end of the competition and I was a new person.  I had a hop to my step, there were hardly any bad days, I had a ton of energy and I found myself again.  I won that competition with a prize of $700.  Nothing was going to stop me!  This point of my life was when I met Shawn.  Things just couldn't get any better but they did.  I kept working hard at my health and fitness until I became pregnant with our twin girls.  Ever since I have not been able to really get back to the life that I want to live.  A life that is full of happiness and love and not being afraid to take pictures with my kids.  I want to be a good role model for my daughters and teach them the importance of confidence and self worth.   How can I do that if I'm not there?  So this is the new beginning of the rest of our lives.  I'm determined and ready to finally make changes with the foods we eat, the things we do together, the pictures we take, the vacations we go on, the life we live.  I want to be that confident person my husband met.  I want to be the best version of myself!

So I'm 6+ months pregnant and can't hide that I'm feeling worse about myself than ever before.  If you've been pregnant you may be able to relate or even if you haven't been pregnant.  I've been thinking about making changes after my baby is born but wasn't sure where to start.  How do I get the motivation and accountability that I need?  I don't want to go to a gym and invest in a membership every month to share sweaty equipment with strangers.  That's after I have to load my newborn up and take her to a nursery with people I don't know and even pay additional for it.  No Thanks!  That's when Beachbody came back into my life.  I absolutely love the programs.  They work!  The first video I ever got was P90X.  I started it after having my twins about 6 years ago.  I found that I ended up quitting the program before I got the true results I wanted.  Working out at home is difficult without a strong support system.  People that I could relate to, people that were going through the same challenges I was.  Then I discovered Beachbody coaches and challenge groups.  I thought (yes, I've been doing a lot of thinking) that I am not the only one who struggles with living a healthier and happier life.  How can I motivate myself and help others do the same?  Whelp being a Beachbody Coach was the answer.  So I made the decision to sign up and ordered my first challenge pack.  I went with the 21 day fix program.  I figured I can do anything for 21 days!  I was hesitant to take the plunge now because again I'm pregnant.  What could I possibly do now?  Then a light bulb went off duh it makes perfect sense for me to start a healthy diet now to prepare my body for delivery and recovery.  Of course the program is meant to lose weight, which I'm not in the market for, but helping curve pregnancy cravings and be healthier for my baby and my body I am longing for.  I will need to adjust my calorie intake both before my baby is born and while breastfeeding to not be counterproductive and not feed my body and baby enough nutrients/calories.  Once I get clearance to work out again I going to incorporate the workout routines.  They are only 30 minutes a day!  Say What?!  I can do this 21 days, 30 minute workouts!  Sign me up!

The true challenge for me, honestly, is going be posting progress pictures.  Yikes!  If that won't keep me accountable then I don't know what will.  So here goes nothing, or everything!  Join me in my journey that can become our journey.
