One Year

I was looking over my "On This Day" on Facebook. A picture came up from a year ago, with my coach announcing how I was starting on my own journey as a Team Beachbody Coach.
This last year has been such a blur! Working through 21 Day Fix...realizing I am not a fan of 21 Day Fix Extreme...taking a HUGE step and discovering how much I LOVE Body Beast...attending my first SUPER SATURDAY...meeting and working out with supertrainer Chris Downing...making it through two rounds of Shift Shop...starting a program that utilizes ONLY body weight on Core De Force...
I am still working towards my goals...dropping inches...building muscle...I'm even getting ready to train for an amateur physique competition, something I NEVER thought I'd even consider going for...
I also know I am still learning...about building a business...building my character...building up others...
There are days when I wonder if I made the right choice last November...if I have what it takes to be a successful coach...if I will see a slight glimmer of hope that the work has not been in vain...
And then there are the days when people have told me that I am inspiring them...days when people ask me what I'm doing on this journey...days when people inspire me to keep going...keep pushing...those are the days that I really live for...
Even though I am still working on building this business, and that my hopes and dreams for my future have not yet been actualized, I have no doubt that they will come to fruition. Because of I've learned anything over this past year, it's that the very best seed will never come to maturity if you never plant and cultivate it.

Can't Wait For Shift Shop!

This past Saturday, Beachbody's newest supertrainer hosted the first Coach Day at his facility in Canton, Ohio. (Being a Beachbody coach has so many benefits. Click on the JOIN MY TEAM link to find out how you can be one.)
This hour-long workout included a couple of exercises from Chris Downing's upcoming program, SHIFT SHOP.
I cannot WAIT for July when I'll be able to do the full workout!

The Beast Is Here!

Got my next Beachbody workout program in the mail yesterday. I'll be following Israeli bodybuilder Sagi Kalev though the Body Beast program.

It includes:
12 workouts on 4 DVD's. The workouts are in 3 phases:
Build- includes workouts for chest/triceps, legs, back/biceps, and shoulders. These workouts are the focus of the first 3 weeks of Body Beast.
Bulk- the BULK phase is 5 weeks. The workouts in this phase will be comprised of chest, legs, back, arms, and shoulders.
Beast- the last 3 weeks of Body Beast will include workouts from the first 2 phases, with the addition of a cardio workout, an ab workout, and a total body workout.
A workout calendar: This gives the workout schedule for both the HUGE BEAST plan, for adding muscle mass and the LEAN BEAST plan for definition. For this first round, I'll be following the LEAN plan.
The Book Of Beast: this program guide goes over recommended equipment, expectations, and safety tips. It also contains THE BODY BEAST EATING PLAN. It provides the formula for knowing how many calories you'll be consuming each day (3143 for me), as well as a breakdown of how many servings of veggies, proteins, fruits, carbs, healthy fats, seeds & dressings, and oils & but butters you'll need to succeed. It also shows how to incorporate the FIX PORTION CONTROL SYSTEM (you know I love my containers).

I'm looking forward to March 20 to start my journey to BEAST UP!
