Drop A Dress Size for Summer

*This is for women who are not already working with a Beach Body Coach*
March is almost here... THANK GOODNESS! I don't know about all of you but I am so ready for some bright new spring clothes and a little bit warmer weather. I have worn enough dark colors and sweaters! Bring on cute dresses and spring colors! I am excited to be hosting a challenge group this March for those who are looking to slim down with the hopes of maybe dropping a dress or clothes size this spring. I will be hosting an online private support group. In the group, I will provide you with daily motivation, recipes and tips on clean eating and healthy living. Not only will I provide you with this but you will also be surrounded by others who are working on the same goal as you are. I have to say that the support groups seem to be why so many of my challengers are successful. There really is strength in numbers.

The cool part about this months "drop a dress size challenge" is that I will be giving away a prize at the end of the month long challenge. Anyone who "drops a dress size" will be entered into a drawling for a $100.00 VISA gift card to put towards their new spring wardrobe. I can't think of a better prize for someone who has just dropped a dress size. Think new dresses, skirts, shorts, tank tops and BATHING SUITS!!! Seems like a great way to celebrate your hard-work!

We will kick off the challenge on March 16th.  Please fill out the questionnaire below and I will be in touch shortly. I look forward to working with you and teaching you how to drop a dress size in a very short period of time! 


THINK SPRING EVERYONE!!! It can't stay cold forever!

Why Use Shakeology Every Day??

WHY INCORPORATE SHAKEOLOGY INTO YOUR DAILY DIET?


It can help you:
  • Lose weight – especially if you replace a meal with Shakeology every day.
  • Reduce junk food cravings – drink it in the morning to enjoy this benefit throughout the day
  • Increase your energy and feel healthier.
  • Improve your digestion and regularity.

What is in Shakeology?
Shakeology is so incredibly healthy, there's no other single food item out there that can supply you with all the nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and minerals in the amounts you need the way one delicious shake can. 

There are 6 different flavor options: chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, greenberry, chocolate vegan or strawberry tropic vegan. I have personally tried the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry and love them (though, some more than others).

When to drink Shakeology:

For BREAKFAST – Since it helps curb food cravings, you'll be less hungry throughout the day.
Before or after WORKOUTS – It gives you extra energy to power through, and protein to help your muscles recover.
ANYTIME! – It takes less than a minute to toss Shakeology and water into your shaker cup, so you won't slow down your day!

Tracking

Start Make Life Altering Changes Just By Tracking


Do you want to make changes in your life...I'm sure, we all do!  Getting started is the scariest part for many of us because we don't know how to begin.  Before you know the route you're going to take to achieve your goals, you first must know where you are at the starting line. Tracking will revolutionize your life and ultimately your life style!

Pick one behavior or aspect of your life that you would like to improve and begin tracking for one week.  You can choose to track your workouts, everything you consume (food & drink), how much money you spend, really the list is endless!  

Get a mini notebook, get an app on your phone, or select a tracking device that you are comfortable with and then get started - TODAY!  

I'm going to start tracking __________ on month/date/year

After one week, you'll be amazed at the information you've collected...and then commit to do it for at least two more weeks!! 

It's important to track for at last three weeks because something doesn't become a habit until you practice it for 3 weeks (21 days). 

Writing things down sounds simple - and it is - BUT ONLY WHEN YOU DO IT!

As you prepare yourself for the challenge group, you need to first start thinking about how you're going to be fueling your body.  If you know me, you know that I'm not very organized in following meal plans to the T, but I do make sure that I have healthy options to choose from.  (However, life if easier if you have a plan in place :) )

Think about the colors of the picture above, how does this recommendation differ from how you are currently eating?  What kinds of changes will you need to make? As you prepare for the challenge group, I strongly encourage you to use this grocery list to guide what you put into your body... you will be happily surprised with the changes in how you feel just by starting with how you fuel your body.

Why Should You Start Today??

There is no better time to start improving yourself than today!    

"Everything in your life exists because you first made a choice about something. Choices are the root of every one of your results. Each choice starts a behavior that over time becomes a habit."~ Daren Hardy
Here's to being done with status quo!  Make the choice today...


Getting started in a challenge group is a non-threatening way to help keep yourself accountable at achieving a better, healthier and happier you!  The challenge group will show you that you're not alone in the process as you experience challenges, struggles and successes.  


Feel free to contact me about any questions you may have about any of the BeachBody programs (even if they are not the 21 Day Fix or PiYo) or with better understanding what's so great about being in a challenge group.
