I LOVE being a BeachBody Coach!

 Not even half way through my 6 week beachbody challenge I KNEW this was for me. I love everything Beachbody stands for. It is nutrition, healthy clean eating and being physically fit by old fashoined hard work. The DVD's have celebrity trainers who use the most modern techniques to get the most out of our workout in the least amount of time. The Shakeology is a no brainer in the challenge. This meal replacement gives your body the whole superfoods and nutrients it needs to CRUSH those workouts. The energy you feel is amazing! And it totally squashes all cravings since your body is no longer malnourished. This amazing shake is the only protein shake that kept me full and it also keeps your regular...TMI I know. Haha. I notice my skin is clearer. It balanced out my hormones. My thyroid issue symptoms have totally subsided. 

 It was a given to put in the Beachbody coach application. Being a coach gave me a discount on all products. And now that I run challenges I get the benefit of seeing others feel as great as I do! It is so rewarding.My challengers tell me all the time about how the Dr took them off their BP medicine and how their cholesterol has decreased dramatically. One of my challengers also experiences better vision since drinking ShakeO!

 I do all this from home. It keeps me accountable also! I am not the kind of person to tell encourage someone to drink Shakeology and workout if I am not following my own word! It has given me a great sense of purpose and working out is more important than ever! The extra pay for working out and making friends interested in fitness is a total bonus. If this sounds like it is for you please contact me. ANYONE, any size with  limited knowledge of fitness can do this.  I will help you be a successful Beachbody coach and join the most popular health/fitness company out there!

Sooo lets talk about my thyroid issue!

So in 2012 my thyroid decided to go kaput. It took 6 months of testing to get me medicated correctly. Meanwhile the pounds packed on. I was running every other day and eating clean but NOTHING was stopping my middle from expanding. I didnt feel like me anymore!  I was at my wits end. I met My soon-to-be Beachbody coach at a party and from that moment on life was looking a little brighter! She mentioned that Shakeology should balance out my hormones and I swear it did! I took a challenge with her and lost every pound I gained. I have never felt better. Even more beneficial to me now is the great energy increase I gain from drinking Shakeology. I have such a passion for this product that I became a Beachbody coach myself. It has changed my life. And it could yours also. Please hit "Beachbody" on the above link for more information!

Mmmmmmm!
