Nutrition + Mindset + Total Body Wellness
One of the things I recommend for my challengers is to create a weight loss countdown chart. When you make one, create goals and rewards along the way when certain milestones are reached to help keep you motivated and focused. A weight loss chart is also a visual reminder that weight loss takes time but you can get some help to do it faster from Cannabis Herald.
Thanks to my challengers for posting pictures of their own countdown charts!
What are you doing for PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT these days? I am a firm believer that where the mind goes, the body will follow. So, keeping your mind fit, alive, and engaged with the world around you is just as important as eating right and exercising.
Just spending TEN MINUTES A DAY with a book, a podcast, an audiobook, etc. can have a huge positive impact on your life. Here are some of my favorite personal growth books as well as the business books I recommend to my team of coaches:
If you struggle with willpower, studies have found that you are better off removing temptations entirely from your home.
“Precommitment,” defined as “the voluntary restriction of access to temptations,” is a “more effective self-control strategy than willpower,” say researchers, from the Universities of Cambridge in the UK and Dusseldorf in Germany, in a report published online this week in the journal Neuron.
So, considering that, let’s set look at three things we can do to remove temptations and create new healthy habits:
If creating music is your newly-found hobby that distracts you from the negativity in life, sites like fiddlersguide.com might be able to help you improve your skills even further.
It’s important to take measurements every 30 days to track your progress. It’s also critical that you’re consistent when measuring and taking measurements correctly. The video below will help you determine the right way to measure.

Who else has a party to attend this weekend? I actually have two of them tonight. There will be yummy food, beer, wine, all of my favorite things. Because fitness is a lifelong process for me, I know I can’t cut those things out of my life completely – nor would I want to. Good food and drink make life so much more enjoyable! On the other hand, I don’t want food to come between me and living a healthy, fit lifestyle. The key is being able to enjoy the foods I love in moderation. I can stop after having a taste here and there. For many of you, it’s hard to do that. Developing a healthy relationship with food is crucial in your success. Remember, food is not the enemy. It’s a source of energy, nourishment, and pleasure… but it has to be consumed in the context of a healthy lifestyle.
DO:
Enjoy not-so-healthy foods in moderation while sticking to the 80/20 rule
Be aware of every bite that goes into your mouth
Savor the “bad” foods you enjoy
Get right back on track afterward
Be aware of your trigger foods (things that are hard to stop after just one) and stay away from them
Keep your goal(s) in the forefront of your mind
Focus on the progress you’ve made so far
DON’T:
Eat mindlessly
Feel guilty about eating not-so-healthy foods occasionally
Overeat
Feel defeated if you fall off the wagon
When you’re struggling with temptation, what will you tell yourself? This is where self-talk comes in to play. Instead of listening to the voice inside your head that says, “You already ruined your diet, you may as well have more!” listen to the one that says, “You have worked too hard to let anything ruin your progress. A little bit won’t derail you, but you can’t go overboard.”

Your diet accounts for 80% of your results when it comes to health and fitness, which is why it’s so important to eat clean, healthy foods. But even eating the right foods is not enough. You have to control your portion sizes. The 21 Day Fix containers are a wonderful tool to use when trying to figure out appropriate portion sizes. However, here are some other visuals, tips and tricks for navigating the correct portion sizes:
When I first signed up as a Beachbody coach in March 2014, I had no idea it would change my life like it has. I get paid for doing something I love, working out and connecting with others online. Less than four months after I started, I had my first $1,000 week. I went achieved Diamond rank at my six month mark. Less than two years later, my team qualified as a PREMIERE TEAM (that’s the top 1% of coaches in the organization!). More rewarding than that is the fact that I’m helping other people achieve their health and fitness goals. That is extremely rewarding, and it motivates me to be better myself and a fitness role model.
This is NOT a get-rich quick scheme. If you’re in it just for the money, please look for another opportunity. If you truly enjoy fitness and helping others, it won’t feel like work. For me, it feels more like play and having fun with my online friends. You will be required to put in time, but it doesn’t have to be hours each day. Some Beachbody coaches started slowly… ten minutes one day, twenty minutes the next. The nice thing about this business is that your rate of growth is solely dependent on YOU. The rewards you reap are directly related to the amount of effort you put into growing your business over time. It starts slowly, like rolling a snowball. In time, however, your effort will pay off and you will seeing the benefits of your hard work– both personally and financially.
I am looking for other motivated fitness enthusiasts to join my team. You’ll receive all the help and support you need to build your business from me, your sponsoring coach, and my Beachbody teammates. Read more about the opportunity here:
Becoming a Beachbody coach is great for anyone with a passion for fitness that’s self-motivated, interested in helping others, and have a little social media know-how. In order to make money, all you have to do is let people know about getting fit and losing weight with Beachbody’s best-selling line of products. You succeed by helping others succeed!
Beachbody is a successful 10-year-old, $250+ million corporation based in Southern California. They create and sell the nation’s most popular in-home fitness and weight-loss products—high-quality, well-manufactured DVD workout programs, gear, and nutritional supplements that have been proven to work. You’ve probably already heard of P90X, T25 and Insanity. When you become a Beachbody Coach, you’re teaming up with a solid, stable company and a best-selling brand.
You get paid weekly commissions when people buy Beachbody products and Team Beachbody Club memberships through your personal website and links. As you advance in rank, you can also earn cash bonuses based on your team’s sales. For the most successful coaches, this is a key piece of their business.
It only costs $39.95 to start a Beachbody business. That includes your first month’s Business Services Fees and your Coach Business Kit, which comes with everything you need to begin earning income. However, if you purchase a Challenge Pack when you sign up as a coach (or within 30 days), those fees are waived.
No, you don’t need to be a fitness or weight-loss expert to become a Beachbody Coach. You just need to be ready to commit to changing your life and helping others do the same through your story and experiences. SHARING is your key role. You also need to be willing to find answers for your challengers if you don’t know them yourself.
Not at all—the fact is, just about everybody already wants to get fit or lose weight. And the Beachbody products can get them there—there are already thousands of real-life Success Stories to prove it! To make money as a Beachbody Coach, all you have to do is let people know that they can finally achieve the health, fitness, and weight-loss goals they’ve dreamed of.
Once you become a Beachbody Coach, you’ll be part of a whole network of successful Coaches who are there for you to learn from and share with. I’ll add you to my private coaching Facebook support group and get you in on my 30-Day Coaching Mentorship group. You’ll also get full access to your online office, which has everything you need to market and manage your business with ease—including your own sales website and email account, a full set of sales and marketing tools, and extensive training guides and videos. In addition, our Coach Relations team is available to answer your questions via email or over the phone. And you’ll have a Coach of your own for extra motivation and guidance (That’s ME!).
Unlike marketing programs that require you to buy a lot of products in order to participate, the Coach Opportunity has no inventory requirements. If you do want to purchase products for your own use or resale, you’ll get them at a significant discount.
No—when customers purchase products through your website, Beachbody takes care of the rest.
Setting up and customizing your Beachbody Coach Website is low-tech and simple! We provide you with an easy-to-use system that allows you to add text and photos (or you can just use ours), and you can choose from a number of Beachbody marketing banners to help make sure your site is viewed.
Beachbody spends millions of dollars every week advertising their home fitness programs on the major TV stations and cable networks. Millions of people already know about Beachbody, and every time they run an infomercial, they get thousands of new customers. As a qualified coach, you will receive leads generated and commissions on those sales as well.
As Beachbody Coach, you receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products available in the Team Beachbody store.
There is a $15.95 monthly coach fee. Think of this as your payment to Beachbody for doing all of the above: To maintain your websites, customer list, handling your customer orders, access to reports in your online office, and even marketing your business for you.
I love Autumn Calabrese’s workouts! The 21 Day Fix is my favorite workout program. If you’re looking to switch things up, try Autumn’s new Butt Workout. Some special equipment is required, but you can modify by using what you have at home already. If you don’t have sliders, use paper plates. No kettle bells? Use hand weights or even a milk jug.
