Don't let getting older be your excuse!

People are always talking about wanting to get into shape...they want to look better, feel better, be healthier and some want to look younger.  Which one of these ladies definitely looks younger? 



I know which one I would prefer to look like when I'm 74! It definitely took more work for the woman on the left to get and stay in that shape, but the smile on her face tells me that it was worth it to her...is it worth it to you? Or... are you content not putting forth the effort and ending up like the woman on the right? The choice is yours!

There are many obvious differences between these two woman, but the biggest one that stands out to me other than the physical is the difference in their quality of life.  The woman on the left is obviously in better shape, but with that comes the freedoms of agility, strength, independence and the flexibility to do as she pleases.  When you are not in shape; especially if you're confined to or rely on a wheelchair, all of that is taken away from you.  I have no doubt the woman on the right is happy, however, I would be extremely frustrated to have to rely on an apparatus or someone else to get me around, to may appointments, to get dressed, etc.  

Start today with making the small changes that can make you healthier and more independent as you grow older.  If you're not sure where to start or how, contact me today and I am more than happy to get you in the right direction so that you can be more like the woman on the left!  Find me on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/christina.manning.988 and send me a friend request or email me at www.cmmanning1980@gmail.com or complete the questionnaire below...
what are you waiting for??

Thirsty Thursday


Yes, I had a snickerdoodle for dinner tonight!  It was more filling than a snickerdoodle and it was about as many calories as one cookie too.  I definitely think it was a very tasty dinner.  I had a special treat today for lunch, a burger with all of the bun, so I thought I would balance that with a lighter dinner.  This was the first time I ever made this and it's definitely one that I'll make again.

To make this delicious shake, blend 8 oz of almond milk, 1 tsp of maple syrup, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 2 tsp of cinnamon, 1 spoonful of almond butter and a handful of ice cubes.

I have to admit that I was nervous about making a shake with maple syrup, but I couldn't taste it at all and it ended up being a nice change from my "usual".

Tasty Tuesday Tip

There is no recipe for this ‪#‎tastytuesday‬, rather a tip...if you haven't been to Sam's Club lately, they are now carrying a much larger selection of delicious fresh produce, a large tub of a spinach and kale medley super cheap (you get more and pay less than at any local grocery store), almond milk, organic agave nectar, coconut oil, raw almonds, quiona, a ton of healthy snack options and much more! I was totally amazed and excited at the amount of organic and healthier options they have started carrying.

With being a family of 5, and of 5 big healthy eaters, it's important to me to make sure that I'm providing my family plenty of healthier meals and snacks- especially without breaking the bank doing it!!  I find myself now only running to the grocery store for quick trips to grab bananas (the only thing that Sam's club still hasn't perfected- they're always green) and waffles for the girls.
 Has anyone else noticed the changes that Sam's club has made?

Never Miss A Monday

Today I decided to do the Total Body Cardio Fix...however, it was 9:30 PM when I started it!  Not really what I would like to have been doing at 9:30 on a Monday night, but I needed to get it in!  For whatever reason, I've not been following my meal plans (way too many handfuls of m&m's) and I was making excuses that the softball practice I did with my daughter should count as my workout.

Well tonight, that came to a stop- I wanted to start the week off right.  Even though it wasn't what I would have preferred to have been doing at that time, I was glad that I pushed play and got it in!  If I don't make changes, I won't see the changes that I'm after! 

I don't think that I've ever met anyone who was mad that pushed play.  When you start the week off right, you're less apt to allow yourself to make excuses for skipping workouts later in the week.

Hold yourself accountable (if you can't get a coach- I know a great one ;)), make no excuses and NEVER EVER MISS A MONDAY!

If you need someone to keep you accountable and provide support to you.  Consider joining my next challenge group.  For more information, please complete the form below.

Do you have what it takes to be a Beach Body Coach?

A few months ago, I signed up to be a discount coach...this is a coach who doesn't try to grow their business, rather receive (what I consider) to be the best home workout programs and super food protein shakes (Shakeology) in the world at a discounted cost (25% of a discount)!  After getting a sneak peak into what it would be like to be a working coach (one that earns 25% commission off of sales from my TeamBeachBody site), I decided to work my Beach Body business to just cover the monthly cost of Shakeology (which I did- so it's like I'm getting it for FREE).  

 

Because I LOVE ALL Beach Body products sooo much, it only made sense for me to get them as cheap as I could...  Little did I know that I would have so much fun learning from some of the most fantastic women I've ever met and LOVE helping people become healthier while running my own challenge groups and having the daily interactions with them.  

 

I have never been so excited about doing something...which is both exciting and scary.   I'm still getting the feel for the "business" aspect of it, but I can't stop wanting to connect with people who want to start making a healthier lifestyle change.  Since this is new for me, I'm still learning, but I'm also finding myself constantly thinking about things I could do to help others, work the business and how I could make personal improvements for myself.

 

From what I have been able to tell in my few months as a coach, Beach Body is a fantastic company to be a part of with AMAZING people willing to help you out at any time!  If you love fitness, Shakeology, are interested in making an extra income or are interested in being your own boss, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the upcoming 5 day sneak peak into Beach Body coaching to see if it's for you.

 

Here is what I will be offering... For five days next week (March 23-27), I will be running a free 5 day sneak peak into coaching.  It will give you the opportunity to see what my new passion is and maybe decide if it is for you. The beauty of this business is you can make it exactly what you want. You can call it a hobby or you can simply be a coach for the discount but you get to decided that, not me. There is beauty in being your own boss.  There are no strings attached, if it's not for you then it's not for you.  It takes a driven person to come out on top in this business! I, with the help of the #1 team in the business, will train anyone who thinks they have what it takes.
 

Please fill out this application below if you would like to be added into my sneak peak group!

 


There are tons of Wufoo features to help make your forms awesome.

Beach Bound Body


Spring is finally here, which means summer and bathing suit season is right around the corner.  This is something that I am NEVER excited about...I'm sure I'm not alone in this.  Well, this year, I've decided that I'm going to be ready for it and I'm not going to be embarrassed to put on my swimsuit (while being around other people than my family).  This year, I'm going to be ready to step out in my swim suit with a smile on my face instead of a frown.  I would love to work with people who are ready to make their Beach Bound Body transformation happen!

To be in the group it will require you to commit to 30 days of Shakeology and clean eating and 30 days of GOING ALL in. No slacking and no excuses! We will really focus in on your nutrition and what you are fueling your body with because you can work out as much as you want but if we don't have your nutrition spot on - you won't get as fit looking as you want to be.

I am going to keep this group small and exclusive and I will only be taking 8 women so that we can all really connect and bond in the group. The group will provide you with daily support, accountability and motivation. There are strength in numbers and the friendship you will build is pretty fantastic too!  

I'm in this with you too...I need the support and the accountability just like anyone else :)  I'm ready to finally be excited to put on a bathing suit this summer.  I hope you're just as excited as I am!

If you're interested in working towards rockin' that itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polkadot bikini, contact me today!

Family Time in the Gym


Today I got to work out with Addy...she totally kicked my butt on the box jumps and split squats, but I got her on the rest :) So much fun ♡

Working out together can be a great way to spend quality time together, it doesn't have to be done in solitary.  Addy and I had a lot of fun being healthy and getting stronger. 

We cranked up the music, danced and sang a little in between our sets and challenged one another to push ourselves.  Addy doesn't like to work out with me in the house (my comfort zone), but she gets super excited to get me out in the gym (which is a little out of
my comfort zone) where it's a little more unconventional :)

Loved the time that we got to spend together getting stronger!  It's motivation for me to stick with my daily workouts - she might be younger, almost as tall as I am, but I'm not ready for her to be stronger!!

21 Day Fix Calendar

I don't know about you, but I want to be able to cross my workout off after I've completed them.  

I'm visual like that :)



You get a lot with the 21 Day Fix program, but the one thing you don't get is a nice calendar that lays it out for you that allows you to cross off your workout for the  day...so, here you go!  Print this off and hang it where you will see it regularly to remind you to get your workout in!  Some people keep them on their refrigerators, next to their bathroom mirror, I personally keep mine in my closet where I get dressed every day.

 

Would you like more information on the 21 Day Fix Program?

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!

WHY is there NO comparison to Shakeology??

How Does Shakeology Stack Up?

  • Formula? 70+ of the healthiest ingredients from whole-food sources. Advantage: Shakeology.
  • Sweeteners? No artificial sweeteners, flavors, fillers, or additives of any kind. Advantage: Shakeology.

More than 70 super-nutritious ingredients.


  • Proteins, Vitamins, and Minerals – to help reduce hunger andfood cravings.
