Your partner in health and success, 

Think you can’t “afford” Shakeology? Think again!

I’m willing to challenge anyone that says that Shakeology is too expensive and show you exactly why it is actually going to save you money instead!

First, I want you to answer this question: how much to you spend, most days, on either meals out, lattes from your favorite coffee shop, energy drinks, or at the very least, convenience meals you can warm up in the microwave at work. $3.00, $4.00, even more? If this is true for you, then you can afford Shakeology, because at the coach discount, the least it will cost you is $3.00 and most it will cost is $3.75. At the retail cost, $5.00 at the most and $4.00 at the least. And, you will be getting pure, extreme nutrition, which is far beyond what you would get at even the healthiest meal you can think of.




Next, do you have any health ailments? Or do you have a family history of health ailments? Of course, we can’t claim to “cure” any diseases or conditions, but the fact is, people that are using Shakeology have testified that they are losing weight, they are able to get off of cholesterol medication, they no longer need to take heart medicines and are even getting to the point where they no longer need diabetic meds. Again, we can’t claim that this is going to be true for you, or that it is the Shakeology that is truly responsible for these events, but, to me, if there is anything out there that could make me NOT have to be dependent on a cocktail of meds, I’m all for trying it out. That could eventually lead you to quite a bit of savings a month on prescriptions and years on to your life!

Have you ever gone to the store and purchase $100 or more in groceries, just to end up having things go bad and have to throw them out? I know I have. You can cut back in your grocery budget by buying fewer items, because you are replacing a meal or two a day with Shakeology. That is less you have to buy at the store and less that ends up in the trash in a few days. One serving of Shakeology has more than $41 worth of produce in it..... Hmm..... That’s a $36 SAVINGS for each shake. A lot better deal than what we end up throwing out because it’s gone bad before we ate it.

Do you take vitamins and supplements on a daily basis? With Shakeology, they really become unnecessary. If you are like me and want to error on the side of caution, you may continue to take them, but to be perfectly honest, I forget to take my extra supplements a few times a week and as long as I’ve had my Shakeology that day, I feel great! Depending on where you fall on this spectrum, that can be a savings of a few dollars a month and up to, well, quite a bit of money for some of you!

Let’s talk about meals out now. How much do you spend going out to eat, no matter of the meal, each week? $10, $25, $50, more? I know it is a bunch of money for most people. Whether it’s going to lunch on a daily basis, running through the McDonald’s drive-thru for a McMuffin  on the way to work in the morning, pizza to-go because you don’t have any time to make dinner? I’ll tell you what, blending up a scoop of Shakeology with your favorite add-ins is going to be a meal in itself and will likely last you longer than any of the above. And for $5 or less a shake!

Kids have baseball/soccer/scouts/fill-in-the-blank tonight, you are going to be on the run all evening, and they need something to fill them up while being on the go? What kids would turn down a chocolate shake for dinner? Beats anything you’ll be finding out on the road while you’re being a kid taxi! Blend it up with ice and tell them they can have it for dinner. Put it in a shaker cup and off you go! Just don’t let them know it’s healthy for them too.....

I could continue with the reasons why Shakeology is not too expensive, but it comes down to this..... You have a 30 day money back guarantee so if you still think it’s too expensive and it‘s not actually SAVED you money, you get 100% of your money back. If you decide to become a “coach” for the wholesale discount, you save 25% off of your Shakeology. If you are at all concerned with being the healthiest you can possibly be, to be there for your kids, friends and family, then there is no amount of money that should stand in the way. At $5.00 or less a day, it is definitely worth every last cent you spent on it and more.  

If you agree, then let me know. And I invite you to go to www.Amazing-Shake.com to find out even more about Shakeology and why it is really “The Healthiest Meal of the Day”!

Mission: TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme Hybrid Workout: Day 1

I've been feeling a bit funky the last few weeks: more tired, put on a few mysterious pounds, not really feeling like myself. Decided to take a look at what I've been doing in my day to day activities to see if it's something I'm doing instead of something medical or health related.

So, I decided I needed to get a bit more strict with myself. The last few days, I've been more consciences about what I've been eating, getting more and better sleep, having my Shakeology everyday, doing some kind of exercise everyday (yes, even your trainer and Beachbody coach sometimes needs to take her own advice and make sure she's really pushing play everyday!).

It seems to be working and I decided that since I'm a Chalene Johnson girl at heart, that I'm going to do a TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme hybrid workout. I'm going to blog and/or post about it every day, but need my friends to help keep me accountable too. Sometimes I need to be the student instead of the teacher and would sure appreciate any moral support you can give me! Today was TurboFire Stretch 40 and the plan is to go for a bike ride with the hubby after he gets home from work today (weather permitting). 

I'm also using "DailyBurn" to keep track of my calories and workouts, which I do love! I have to admit, it is sometimes a pain in the butt to record everything, but I'm more of a visual person and seeing it in front of me helps so much. I really can stay on track much better when I see how many calories I've eaten and how many I've burned. Then, I know if I can have that little treat, if I need to do an extra workout or need to readjust for the next day. It really is a LIFESAVER! 

I hope to motivate you and have you there to motivate me. Let me know if you have any questions! :)

This was too funny not to share! Let me know what you you think :)

Be Part of The Solution

This is a blog Tony Horton recently wrote that really explains what it means to be a Beachbody coach. I wanted to share it with all of you. A real eye opener, for sure!

Be Part of The Solution

Boys and girls,

I'm unaware of your financial situation but I do believe that you're reading this page because you care about your health and fitness. If you have plenty of income and love your job then what I’m about to tell you might not be for you. If you're not thrilled with the way you make a living, would like extra income, love Beachbody products, like the way they make you look and feel, enjoy helping other people feel and look better, enjoy setting your own hours, get excited about being the captain of your own ship as opposed to working for the man - then listen up.


The reality is, your health and fitness moves beyond you. It impacts the people around you. You (whether you like it or not) have the power to change lives based solely on your own personal transformation. Inadvertently you become a catalyst for change. This is how I got started. I was clueless, asked a few questions based on my need to be strong and healthy, stayed with it and people in my life wanted to know what I was doing. Simple yet powerful.

If you want to share what you've learned with people in your life who want better health (and could use extra income in the process) then you should consider becoming a Team Beachbody Coach. I felt so strongly about this program that I’ve encouraged many of my friends to become coaches, even my own sister. She is doing great (even though my contract with Beachbody won’t let me help her). She is a perfect example of someone who had plenty of doubt and hesitation regarding the coaching opportunity and still found a way to make it work for her. A busy working wife and mother with three very active kids doesn't sound like a good candidate to start an in-home multi-level marketing company. Did you say multi level marketing? What? Ick! You mean pyramid scheme right? Okay chill out. All these fears would be true if BeachBody were selling hats or kitty liter, but this is Beachbody people! The number 1 in-home fitness company on the planet! P90X is steadily becoming the most popular fitness system in US history. Shakeology is the revolutionary replacement meal on the market today. We sell life-altering change - not soap. Tens of thousands of regular folk around this country are doing something they love because of this coach opportunity.

The unemployment rate still hovers around 10% but it doesn't have to be that way if more people were willing to see that new opportunities exist all around them. The Team Beachbody Coaching opportunity is one of them. Health care companies, pharmaceutical companies and our government are not capable of solving this obesity crisis and we can't wait around for them to do it. The crisis is now and the answer is YOU! I know that sounds a bit Rah Rah but it's true.


Cynics don't need to apply, but if you're sick and tired of the status quo and want to make a difference in your own life and in the lives of those around you, then open the door. The two major issues of our time - the health care issue and unemployment rate could be resolved if a million more people in this country decided to get healthy and share the wealth. This is a brand new industry waiting to explode. It's not happening in boardrooms or factories – it’s happening in the homes of tens of thousands of Team Beachbody Coaches and in the homes of their customers. With a tiny investment (actually the company is waiving the enrollment fee through the end of 2010) and a willingness to help people the sky's the limit.

P90X INSANITY Hybrid

There are lots of people nowadays that have either done a round or two or more of P90X and the cardio workouts are just not cutting it. Or they are already is really good shape and need more of a cardio challenge. If that is you, you really should take a look at combing the P90X Strength and Yoga workouts with the INSANITY workouts. Trust me, you will DEFINITELY be challenged, lose more weight and gain more in the cardiovascular department than you could ever dream possible!


Here is the hybrid workout:


Phase 1
Day 1 - P90X Chest & Back + Ab Workout
Day 2 - Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Day 3 - P90X Shoulders and Arms + Ab Workout
Day 4 - Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance
Day 5 - P90X Legs & Back + Ab Workout
Day 6 - Insanity Pure Cardio
Day 7 - Yoga Workout

Phase 2
Day 1 - P90X Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps + Ab Workout
Day 2 - Insanity Max Interval Circuit
Day 3 - P90X Biceps & Back + Ab Workout
Day 4 - Insanity Max Interval Plyo
Day 5 - P90X Legs & Back + Ab Workout
Day 6 - Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning
Day 7 - Yoga Workout

Phase 3
Week 1 & 3
Day 1 - P90X Chest & Back + Ab Workout
Day 2 - Insanity Max Interval Circuit
Day 3 - P90X Shoulders & Arms + Ab Workout
Day 4 - Insanity Max Interval Plyo
Day 5 - P90X Legs & Back + Ab Workout
Day 6 - Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning
Day 7 - Yoga Workout

Week 2-4
Day 1 - P90X Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps + Ab Workout
Day 2 - Insanity Max Interval Circuit
Day 3 - P90X Biceps & Back + Ab Workout
Day 4 - Insanity Max Interval Plyo
Day 5 - P90X Legs & Back + Ab Workout
Day 6 - Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning
Day 7 - Yoga Workout

Now, under the "Ab Workout" as well as the "Yoga Workout", you can choose the workouts included in your P90X program, or you might want to look into the One on One workouts as well. There are additional ab workouts to switch it up and help you out, just in case you have the attention span of a gnat like I do! :) And there are 3 Yoga workouts as of now that are just as good, but quite a bit shorter. Definitely worth looking into.


Doing a program that is as intense as this definitely needs top notch nutrition, so make sure you are using your Results and Recovery Formula and also Shakeology. You will be a lean, mean, fighting machine before you know it, or at least look smoking in that bathing suit!


Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

P90X Tip of the Day 1/31/11

Strength and power start at the core.
Your core strength, which comes from your abdomen, back, and trunk, is the center for most of your power, agility, and balance. That's why we bust out the crunches, lunges, and squats. Strengthen the core and you've got a lot more 'umph' to rock out the outer, sport-specific muscles.

TurboFire 5-Day Inferno: Day 1 Recap

It was a spur of the moment idea, but decided this AM to do the Turbo Fire 5-Day Inferno Plan. It seems that as I work to help others get fit and healthy through Beachbody, personal training and boot camps, that I've been neglecting my own workouts. Now, I do workouts with my clients quite a bit, but not to the intensity I need for my own workouts (after all, have to watch the peeps, you know!). And, spending all this time working with others leaves little time for my own workouts. But, made up my mind last week to "put myself back on my to-do list". So that brings us to today and the decision to do the Turbo Fire 5-Day Inferno plan.

Here's been my day:

Workout: Fire 55 EZ Class/ Stretch 10 Class

Meals: I had to improvise a bit, since I'm a vegetarian and also didn't have everything on hand....

• Breakfast:
• Morningstar Farms Veggie Breakfast Sausage Patty,
• Organic egg
• Spinach
• 2 pieces Arnold's 100% Whole Wheat Toast
• Morning snack:
• 1/2 banana
• 1/4 almonds
• Lunch:
• Giant Salad with lots of veggies
• with Tuna
• and Light Ranch
• PM Snack:
• 1 Chocolate Shakeology Power Protein Bar (not on the meal plan, but oh so good!)
• Dinner:
• Gardein chik'n scallopini
• Broccoli
• Dessert:
• Chocolate Shakeology (YUM!!!!)

Okay, so I told you how things have been going the wrong way recently, as far as my workouts and weight have been. Started today at a disturbing 126lbs. (Yes, for a midget like me, that is disturbing. Don't judge :)

I'm going to be doing Fire 45 Class/HIIT 20 Class/ Stretch 10 Class tomorrow and may copy some of today's meals tomorrow, but will definitely choose to have some of Day 2's meals!

Here's planning on some great results. According to the booklet, a person can lose up to 10lbs and 10 in. in the 5 days. Not sure if little ol' me has enough to lose to get that good of results, but I definitely plan to see something!

Once I'm finished with the 5 days, I plan on following the Turbo Fire/ChaLEAN Extreme Hybrid workout. If you are interested in joining me or even just getting Turbo Fire to start on your own time, let me know or click here:

Tailgating: 8 Tips to Survive the Football Season

By Stephanie S. Saunders

Are you ready for some football? Sure ya are! As the new season kicks off, we're all rooting for our favorite team to make it to the Super Bowl, or the Rose Bowl, or the Whatever Bowl. But in truth, my fellow Americans, the celebration isn't all about the sport. It's about the pigskin, but it's also about the potato skins. It's about the Heisman, but it's also about the Heineken^®. In other words, it's about tailgating. Is there anything more glorious than perching on the bumper of your Explorer, hot dog in one hand, cold beer in the other, telling everyone in earshot about the trail of destruction your team is about to make across the Pac 10? Well, that's great and all, but where your fitness goals are concerned, tailgating leaves a little to be desired. So how do we capture all the fun of tailgating without destroying all the progress we've made during our hours of sweat? Let's do some preparation for the game ahead.

1. Work out first. A brand-new study by a team of Brazilian researchers (Public Library of Science, August 2010) concluded that exercise actually modulates feelings of fullness in the brain, causing us to reduce our intake of food. In other words, when you work out, you actually eat less. Which is good, because you don't want to spend an hour and a half working out in the morning and then destroy it all with cravings for fried food and alcohol. Now that you're doing P90X^® 6 days a week, you're a more efficient machine, and you'll have fewer cravings. So before you hang out in that jersey that hides your six-pack, make sure your six-pack is intact and get a good workout in before the party. Working out will help reduce your cravings and decrease your appetite. (Besides, it's pretty unlikely you'll feel like working out after the game.)
2. Don't go hungry. Popular wisdom says you should never go grocery shopping while hungry. The same rings true for attending any kind of party. The worst thing you can do to your nutrition plan is wait until you're starving, then descend upon an endless supply of low-quality carbs and not-so-lean meats. It'll be 45 minutes before you realize you're no longer hungry, and you've just consumed your weight in cheese curls. Eat a clean, high-quality meal before you arrive at the gathering. You'll eat less garbage and you'll probably be a lot more pleasant to be around as well.
3. Veggie it up. I know, I know, you don't want to be that guy, but if you're going to bring anything to the party, your first choice should be a veggie platter. Not only can you save yourself from tomorrow's food hangover, you might actually do your body some good. Bite-sized pieces of broccoli, carrots, celery, bell peppers, cauliflower, and snap peas are all inexpensive, low in calories, and full of vitamins. Create a low-fat dip to accompany them, and you might just trump the team's QB as MVP. Just use any onion or ranch dip recipe, with nonfat yogurt, nonfat sour cream, or nonfat cream cheese as the base. Also, try the 5-to-1 veggie trick: for every five bites of veggies you consume, you're allowed one full-fat snack bite. You'll end up having to chew so much for that one morsel of evil, it won't really be worth it.
4. Feeling fruity. Another great thing to bring tailgating is a fruit platter or fruit salad. Yes, I realize fruit has a lot more sugar in it than veggies do. But fruit is a lot lower in calories than potato salad, it's loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and most people like it a lot. What's more, it's high in fiber, so you'll stay fuller longer. Fruit skewers are a big crowd-pleaser, and counting the empty sticks will show you how much you're actually eating. Aim for watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, strawberries, apples, oranges, peaches, and nectarines.
5. Pass (on) the suds. This is the section everyone's going to want to skip, but reading on will only work to your advantage. Most of us enjoy an adult beverage now and again. There's nothing more refreshing than a cold beer when you're sitting in the hot sun. But, people, they call it a "beer gut" for a reason. The empty calories in beer have accounted for more spare tires than the Michelin^® Man. But since many people can't or won't abstain, try switching to light beer. Sure, some taste like flavored water, but there are a few low-calorie versions out there that are actually pretty good, especially if you squeeze a little (or a lot) of lime into them. Or try a cocktail made with a low-calorie mixer, or one that mixes a splash of fruit juice with soda water and either an ounce of your favorite liquor or a few ounces of white wine. One cup of light limeade, 1 ounce of tequila, and 1 ounce of orange liqueur blended with ice is roughly 100 calories—and really tasty. Crystal Light^® and vodka make for some pretty yummy low-cal drinks, and will still be under a hundred calories. And remember that both white wine and champagne come in at about 100 calories a glass. Remember, a couple of drinks in an afternoon is fine, but if you're putting so much away that the dude in the body paint starts to look, well . . . sexy, it's time to cut yourself off.
6. Get your hand out of the bag. When you're running late on game day, the path of least resistance is to run into a 7-Eleven^® and grab a few bags of chips and maybe some dip. Everyone loves 'em, right? Well, your waistline doesn't. You can easily consume a couple of meals' worth of calories by shoving your hand into a bag a few times. So plan ahead a tiny bit and replace those greasy potato chips, corn chips, and cheese curls with baked tortilla chips and salsa, seasoned air-popped popcorn, multigrain pretzels, and mini rice cakes. You'll still get a ton of crunch and flavor, without consuming 13 grams of fat per handful. If you want to add a dip, try this low-fat/high-protein guacamole recipe: Take a 16-ounce container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt; 1 peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped large avocado; 4 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro; 2 teaspoons of minced jalapeño; and 1 small minced clove of garlic. Throw them into a food processor and blend until smooth. Chill before serving.
7. Main course, to stay on course. Most experienced tailgaters include a barbecue in the festivities. You can smell charcoal and propane for miles around any stadium on any given Sunday. And with the right food choices, a barbecue is a healthy way to prepare good sources of lean protein. Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to throw hot dogs on the grill. Look, if you wanted easy, you would have called for liposuction and never started INSANITY^® in the first place. So forget the path of least resistance (and all those hot dog nitrates) and try a main course that'll keep you on course. Replace a beef or pork hot dog with a turkey or tofu dog, a 20-percent-fat beef burger with a 99-percent lean beef one (or a chicken, turkey, or veggie burger), or a fatty pork sausage with the low-fat chicken variety. Place any of these on a multigrain roll, or stuff them in a pita pocket. Try a low-fat grilled chicken breast instead of those messy, fatty ribs. Skewer up some veggies for a tasty low-calorie main dish. Little pizzas made with prebaked crusts, tomato sauce, low-fat cheese, and veggies grill up brilliantly on a barbecue. You can make ground-turkey-and-three-bean chili in advance in a Crock-Pot^® and warm it up on the grill. Just a little forethought and some lean meat choices can make a huge difference.
8. Just desserts. Most of the time, dessert at a tailgate party comes in the form of beer, with an occasional Oreo^® thrown in. No one puts a lot of thought into making desserts for one of these events, and they put even less thought into how many cookies or brownies they're shoving in their mouth. Instead of satisfying your sweet tooth with enough calories to fuel a defensive lineman, try replacing those high-calorie desserts with one of these ideas. Grill pineapple slices or spears for 1 minute on each side, baste with dark rum, grill for 1 more minute, and serve warm with mint sprigs. Make low-fat banana bread by replacing the butter or oil in the traditional recipe with applesauce. Buy a premade angel food cake, slice, and serve with fresh strawberries and either light Cool Whip^® or one-third whipped cream with two-thirds drained plain nonfat yogurt folded in. In advance, bake apples stuffed with dried fruit and honey in a pan of apple juice, then heat up later on the barbecue. Make a low-fat batch of oatmeal cookies with whole wheat flour and vegetable oil. There are lots of sweet options out there that can also be sweet to the size of your gut.

Football season is long, especially if you're a Buffalo Bills fan. In those 17 weeks, you could do a considerable amount of damage . . . or you could have the body of your dreams. Since the NFL rules the airwaves for roughly 5 weeks longer than it takes to do P90X, it's well worth it to put a little effort into your tailgating choices. And although your friends might give you a hard time, consider how their faces will look at the end of week 15, when you have a rock-hard six-pack, and they have more of a keg. Yeah, it's worth it.

Beachbody, P90X and the White House

Well, this is beyond cool: Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon, the founders of Beachbody, recently had the chance to meet President Obama and found that not only is the First Lady, Michelle Obama, doing P90X, but so is many, many others that are in the White House!
