My workout accountability post. Turbo Fire and more!

I haven't done an accountability post in some time. In a week in a half, I will be complete with the second month of Turbo Fire and will be moving in to month 3!!! It's so exciting to accomplish another month of a workout program.

As many of you know, I have done Insanity twice, and now have moved on to Turbo Fire. I love BOTH of these programs for sure! They both haven given me amazing results thus far and I would be lying if I said I wasn't satisfied. Just a quick rant, I have had a few people tell me that they couldn't join my Insanity Challenge Group, or anyone of them for that matter, because they were training for a marathon....

Can I ask a simple question.....what exactly is it that you are training for when it comes to running? Is it motivation? Endurance? Clean eating? What is it EXTRA that you have to do for running, that doesn't allow you to achieve the same results when incorporating other fitness programs? Because I don't understand it. Back when I ran cross country, all we did was run. Hate to break it to you, but running isn't the ONLY thing that builds indurance. Try interval training! I bet you will change your mind! You know what my time was for a 5K?? 38 WHOLE minutes. Ridiculous and embarrassing!!!

I wasn't trained to eat healthy, I wasn't trained to find that WHY that drives me to the finish line. I wasn't trained to believe in myself. There was so much more that could have been done to help me out. Guess what has helped me with all of that over the last half of a year? Being a Beachbody coach, Insanity, Turbo Fire, and Shakeology. I FOUND who I am. I know my WHY, why I am doing this, I HAVE motivation, and a great team to back me up. Most importantly, my endurance is off the chain!!! I'll have you know that yesterday I had my fastest mile come in at 5 minutes. Yea, me....a girl....a MOTHER now, ran a mile in 5 minutes. 4 miles??? 34 minutes. I was 2 miles away from a 10K. That I haven't even "trained" for. But because I take care of myself nutritionally and I workout with beachbody programs, AND because I believe in myself, I was able to accomplish that.

That's a big goal for me. And now I don't doubt that I can do better and better. I haven't ran that distance EVER. Needless to say my calves are swollen today, but I don't even care. Because I proved something to myself, that I can do anything I want. I told my fiance that I ran a 5 minute mile and he couldn't believe it. Sheesh, neither could I! But I did!! I had it recorded on my runner app.

Any ways, I know this whole post may have seemed off topic, but it wasn't. This post was about my accountability. I have manage to get over the holiday hump, had some ups and downs, but I am still here, still fighting for my goals. All it takes is persistence and consistentcy. Anyone is capable of that if you just try. I will finish up Turbo Fire (loving my results!!) and then move on to another Beachbody program. I believe in everything Beachbody has to offer. Their products WORK. My physical and mental results prove it. And I'm not the only one! ;)

"Back fat. Flabby arms. Cellulite on my legs. I hated my appearance and was far from where I wanted to be. To make matters worse, I was taking steroids for an autoimmune disease and had no energy at all. Then, one day, I saw a picture of how in-shape I was in high school. That’s when I knew something had to change. 

I contacted a friend who was a Beachbody Coach. Since I’m all about the quick fix, I chose the six-week program, Slim in 6®. I lost 17 pounds! I also loved working out to the motivational music of LES MILLS PUMP. Another HUGE part of my success is Shakeology®. It gives me more energy and I will never stop using it. 

Now I’m so much happier with my body. I’ve lost weight, gained muscle, and am finally able to wear a bikini again. Best of all, I’ve changed my way of thinking. Working out is now part of my day—not a chore!"

The benefits of Shakeology

I am writing this to talk about the benefits of Shakeology and what I feel it has done for me thus far. I have been drinking it for almost 5 months now and I honestly feel like it has changed me completely. First of all, I have never heard about Shakeology before. It wasn't until I was researching the Insanity program that I came across it. I started looking more into it and I liked what I heard. I have written a post a while back explaining what Shakeology is and what it does for your body, so I am not going to go into complete detail here. If you would like to know more then check out my other post here. This is just going to be a quick review of Shakeology and how I feel about it.

Shakeology is considered the healthiest meal of the day. Once you read all of the ingredients it has it in and everything it does for your body, then you will understand why. It offers an array of ingredients from all around the world that help by increasing your energy, regulating your digestive system, improving mental clarity, and most of all helping you lose weight. With a whopping 17 Grams of Protein at only 160 calories, you are getting the protein your body needs after an intense workout without using up a lot of your calories. And of course, you can add anything you want to the shake to add additional protein and calories. All you do is simply replace one of your meals with a glass of Shakeology a day and you WILL see changes.

If any of the below apply to you, then I would seriously suggest getting on Shakeology as it helps with ALL of these areas:

-You want to lose weight
-Your weight loss has hit a plateau
-You get sick often
-You have anxiety and/or depression issues
-You are high risk for degenerative diseases like heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.
-You have high cholesterol
-You have a lack of energy
-You have a lot of cravings for unhealthy food



There are way more benefits that Shakeology offers too, like having healthier skin, hair, and nails. Just look at the results we got from a 90-day research study where we replaced one meal per day with Shakeology and saw major improvements in the health of the group:

By the end of week 1
- Improved digestion and regularity
- Reduced cravings

By the end of week 4
- Increased energy and stamina
- Lost weight
- Improved mental clarity

By the end of week 12
- Lost 10 pounds and 2 inches off waist on average
- Reduced risk of heart disease and other degenerative diseases
- Lowered cholesterol on average by 30% and even up to 70%
- Healthier skin, hair, and nails

I even had a lady who tried ONE sample and that SAME day, she said she had so much energy that she couldn't believe it. If this doesn't make you want to try it, then maybe the fact that Shakeology has a "bottom of the bag" guarantee will. Which means that after trying it for 30 days, if you are not satisfied with your results, you ship the empty bag back and get a full refund (less shipping and handling)!!!

When I started taking Shakeology I noticed a couple of things; I had more energy throughout the day (I stopped taking midday naps), my anxiety started to go away, my cravings for salty snacks significantly went away, I have lost weight in addition to doing the Insanity program, and I have YET to get sick ( which I ALWAYS get sick around my birthday. Not this year!!!). I can't imagine not being on Shakeology now that I have been drinking it everyday. It is a staple in my diet. It is MORE than just a protein shake. There is nothing like it on the market. At $4.00 a serving, you are paying way less than what it should be giving into consideration all of the health benefits it offers and amazing results you get from it. Plus, it tastes AMAZING.

If you are interested in trying Shakeology, send me an email for some samples. I ship via PayPal.

What is Shakeology, and why drink it?

Do you struggle with weight? Or have digestion problems? Maybe even high levels of stress in your life? Then maybe it's time to give Shakeology a try! Not only does Shakeology help with all of that, it has many other health benefits to drinking just one glass a day.

  Shakeology is not your ordinary meal replacement shake. It is not made with artificial sweeteners. It is only made with all-natural whole food ingredients. Organic if you will. It is the only product on the market that is made with over 70 vegetables, fruits, and herbs. One drink a day supplies you with all of the essential nutrients your body needs throughout the day. One serving of  Shakeology is the equivalent to a bowl of exotic fruit, 4 cups of raw cauliflower, 4 cups of raw broccoli, 4 cups of uncooked mushrooms, 4 cups of non-fat yogurt, 4 cups of red radishes, 3 cups of romaine lettuce, 1 cup of peas, 7 whole carrots, 3 raw onions, and 1 shot of wheat grass!!! So, as you can see, not only would that be one expensive daily meal, I don't know of one person who would be willing to eat all of that on a daily basis! That is the beauty of Shakeology! As of right now, there are 4 wonderful flavors: Chocolate, Greenberry, Vegan Chocolate, and Vegan Tropical Strawberry.

  Now, the problem that everyone faces in their lifetime, weight. Not too many people are happy with their weight. Luckily, Shakeology is here to help! It helps weight loss by curbing your appetite and helping burn stored fat. All you have to do is replace ONE meal a day with this delicious drink that is only 140 calories. Also, there are ENDLESS recipes for each of the different flavors. You will never get bored by drinking Shakeology. What I like to do with my Chocolate Shakeology is use a cup and a half of almond milk, a tablespoon of butter, a banana, and ice, and mix it in a blender. It's like having a really rich, unhealthy treat. Except, It's COMPLETELY healthy!!! They even have recipes to make brownies and many other healthy treats with Shakeology. You REALLY can't go wrong with this stuff!

  Suppose you don't want to lose weight, but you want your health to improve significantly. Well, once again, Shakeology is for you!!! Shakeology helps detoxify your body by eliminating harmful toxins in your system. It  helps better your digestion because it is rich with probiotics that help improve digestion and subsequent elimination of waste materials. It helps treat irritable bowel syndrome and bowel irregularities. It's rich in flavonoids in phyonutrients to help your body fight inflammation. It helps with cholesterol regulation!!! I know there are MANY people suffering from high cholesterol. This one benefit ALONE should be a reason to buy Shakeology! Studies have shown that it can reduce the amount of LDL (bad cholesterol) in your system as much as 38%. That's life changing! Shakeology lowers the risk of having a cardiovascular ailment by as much as 24%. It also lowers the risk of you having a degenerative disease by cutting down oxidative stress by 90%! Does it get any better than that?? I believe it does! Drinking Shakeology will give you the energy you have been longing for throughout the day. No more wasting money on energy drinks that are UNHEALTHY for you and make you crash a couple of hours later. It also improves your cognitive clarity by helping you focus better and making you more mentally aware. Last but not least, it improves your skin health. It improves the appearance of your skin, nails, and hair because its rich in antioxidants that help fight free radicals that can damage you skins appearance and cause premature aging. When was the last time you looked at the prices of high quality hair products and skin products to give you the same results???

  And I know you are waiting for the "fine print". The side effects that half the time are worse than what your trying to improve. Well, I'm happy to tell you that there isn't any side effects! NO SIDE EFFECTS! In other words, If you drink Shakeology daily, you will be improving your health on MANY levels and losing weight without the potential of causing damage to your body.

  I know this was a lot of info, but now you know that Shakeology is the most healthiest meal of the day. With learning all of the health benefits it offers, you have no reason not to at least TRY it! If you are not completely satisfied with your results or if you don't see a change in your health or weight in 30 days, then you can return it and get a refund!!! Empty bag and all! I don't see any other product on the market that is willing to let you finish the whole bag of product and return it for full price if not satisfied.


  So go on, TRY IT!!! I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
