Beachbody Emerald Coach

8/17/14

When you commit to becoming a coach through Team Beachbody, you are deciding to take full responsibility to help others take control of their health and life.

Some people sign up to be a coach to get a discount on the products and others decided to turn coaching into a business.

Me?... I've chosen to make coaching MY business.

One of the first rank advancements or "promotions" in the Beachbody world is hitting Emerald. Last month I hit my first rank advancement!

You guys should have seen how excited I was when I received this in the mail I started squealing and doing a happy dance!!!


What does being an Emerald Coach mean?
It is the starting place to your business. You are helping 2 other people achieve financial freedom, physical freedom and metal freedom. Emerald is the starting place for you to start seeing your team grow and to start seeing $$$ being deposited into your bank account!

How to become an Emerald Coach:
1. You must be an active coach (you must have purchased a product that is equal to 50 personal volume (pv) or someone must have bought something from you to equal 50pv).
2. You must have 1 personally sponsored (active coach) on each leg, 1 on your right leg and 1 on your left leg.

... I mentioned "team bonuses and customer leads"
You're probably wondering what the heck do they mean?

Team bonuses:
Since you now have coaches on each of your legs (one on your right and one on your left), you are now making team volume(tv) points. When you accumulate 100tv points on one leg and 200tv points on the other leg that is one cycle. For an Emerald coach you make $14 per cycle. *** As your rank goes up, so do team bonus cycles.

Customer Leads:
1. You need to have a before and after photo on your profile (on the TeamBeachbody site)
2. You need to complete your profile information (on the TeamBeachbody site)
3. You need to be a club member ($39.95 paid quarterly, instead of paying $14.95/month)
So what do customer leads mean? Its a fancy way of saying that you get sent FREE customers! How cool is that, you work your butt off and Beachbody will give you a free customer to reward you!!

So now that I have hit my first goal with this business, its time to hit another!
My next goal is to reach Diamond by December 31, 2014.
Hold me to it people!!

Meal Replacement Shakes

8/10/14

I have been getting so many messages lately asking about different meal replacement shakes and to be quite honest, I did not really know much about shakes other than Shakeology. I decided not to put in all the things that Shakeology has done for me and heres why,
1. I wanted to stick to facts not testimonies.
2. Sometimes I feel that people are biased based on what they are drinking.

Here are the 3 shakes that I compared: Shakeology, Body by Vi, and Garden of Life (Raw Meal)

Prices: Shakeology is $129.95 for a 30 day supply. However, you can become a coach and get 25% off all Beachbody's products making the price decrease to $97.46. If you have 3 people who purchase Shakeology from you every month, your Shakeology expenses will be covered. Body by Vi has kits ranging from $49 to $299. If you are looking to lose weight the Shape Kit is $99. Also, if you get 3 people to purchase from you, you will get the Shape Kit expenses covered. Garden of Life (Raw Meal) retails for around $60 but there are only 14 servings in each tub, so for a months supply of Raw Meal, you would need to buy 2 tubs, so you would be spending close to $120.

Calories: Shakeology has 160 calories. Body by Vi only has 90 per 2 scoop serving, which yeah of course you would think that the lower amount of calories the better but actually, your body will go into starvation mode because you aren't consuming enough calories for a meal. ****People you are planning on replacing this shake for a MEAL, you need to eat more than 90 calories.**** And there are 270 calories in each serving of Raw Meal.

Sugars/Sweeteners: Shakeology contains 6 grams of sugar, which all comes from plant sources. Body by Vi has 1 gram of sugar, which seems great right? Well its not... the sweetener that is used is called Sucralose. This is an artificial chemical sweetener that can cause several side effects. A couple of these side effects include blood sugar spikes and ironically weight gain. Raw Meal has 26 grams of sugar.

Here are some additional things that you should know about each of these meal replacement shakes.

Body by Vi: 
*Contains 12 grams of soy protein. As of right now there is still research being tested to see if soy protein is causing development functioning issues in the reproduction systems in males and females. 90% of soy in this country is GMO (genetically modified organisms).

Garden of Life (Raw Meal):
*Contains tree nuts- meaning that if you have nut allergies you wont be able to drink it.

Shakeology:
*Has over 70 super foods
*Has been clinically proven to help you lose weight, lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar and keep you full.




Make sure you do your research and know what you are putting into your body!

You only get one body to live in, take care of it!

21 Day Fix Transformation

8/5/14

I'm freaking out as I write this post. I am so nervous to share this with everyone. So bare with me as I write this.

I completed one of Beachbody's workout programs called the 21 Day Fix. It was a long 21 days I must say. Summer is a hard time to stick to clean eating with cookouts, bonfires, carnivals/fairs, birthdays, etc. But that's just an excuse not to do the program because no matter what season you choose to do a program you are going to constantly be faced with holidays, birthdays, goodies and treats. I decided when starting this program that there would never be a perfect time to do this program, so I might as well start it and finish and deal with all the temptations! And holy crap I did, I turned down funnel cake, pizza, chicken wing dip, pasta.. I turned down a lot to be able to finish this program and get the results that I was looking for.

So I showed up everyday, did my workouts and stuck to the meal plans.

I am about to get really personal... Once I finished the 21 day fix, I became super bloated (female problems), I knew that if I took an after picture then it wouldn't be an accurate representation of my progress and hard work. So I let time pass and a few days ago I woke up feeling light and back to my normal self. No one was home at my house to take my after photos, so I took it upon myself to take one.

Here are all my before photos:



And here are 2 of my after photos.

And I just want to point out that there is ab definition! HECK yeah, I worked my butt off to get that one ab to pop out! 

Here is a comparison of my before and after photo:

I'm sure you are all wondering about how much weight I lost... this is going to be hard for some people to hear because all they want to hear is that the number on the scale went down. Well guess what?!?!?!?
My first week I lost one pound. I actually took it pretty hard. I thought what the heck. I have done nothing wrong and I have only lost a pound? Others were losing 4-7 pound in the first week. But I kept on with the program, I figured one pound lost was better than nothing. Week 2 ended, I weighed myself again.. and I had gained a pound, bringing me back to my original weight (120 pounds). Week 3 ended and I remained the same weight, 120 pounds. I know that this might sound discouraging to some because I didn't really lose any weight while doing the program, but I gained muscle, that one pound that I went up was muscle, it might be that little ab that decided to pop out! haha

This program has taught me so much about portion control, I was over eating in certain areas and under eating in other areas. Since I used to containers daily and would dump them onto my plate I got a visual idea of how much I should be eating of each food. I am constantly eyeing my food to see if it will fit and be "Fix" approved! It has completely changed my life. 

I really don't know if I would have been able to complete the program if I wasn't drinking Shakeology. I literally had a "cheat" meal everyday. When other people needed to have another meal of chicken--I got to have chocolate, when people were eating hard boiled eggs--I was having my Shakeology. It seemed like a "cheat" meal to me because I was drinking my chocolate Shakeology with almond butter (which tastes like a Reese's Cup)!!! YUM!!!
