New Challenge Group Starts Sept. 8th - Are you in?

Ok...I am about to share my own #transformationtuesday post. I am NOT happy about my before photos, I am embarrassed- me the promoter of health and fitness, clean eating, and working out - I kind of let myself go a bit. Now I will say, in both the before and afters I am the same size 2/4 - but in the before photos I am 118-120 and the afters I am 114-116 and holding steady. Yes, I still worked out almost every day, yest I still ate clean 70% of the time, but I did eat some garbage. Some processed foods, went out to eat a lot, bbq's, camping - all of those weekend of unhealthy eating caught up to me. I don't even look happy in my before photos, I look sick actually. No make-up, and look like I don't take pride in myself. Well feeling like that SUCKS!!! It is in a time like that when I remember why I started this journey and am reignited to start fresh. I would love for you to join me in my September Challenge group. It starts Sept. 8th and you need to get a challenge pack to start (Or become a coach or if you are already a coach on my team you can join us!)

The Starfish Story - Make a difference in someones life.

When I started on this journey of being a part of Beachbody, I really didn't know how it would profoundly impact our life.  I made the decision to coach for myself and my husband. We had taken a few months off of the gym and ate poorly. We both gained a few extra lbs (OK - more than just a few!) and for me, this was really bad because I am a type 1 diabetic. I have a friend who is A ROCKSTAR 5-STAR diamond coach and I wanted to join her team for quite some time.

I didn't know what a challenge group was. 

I didn't know what a success club point was. 

I didn't know what Shakeology could do for me. 

I didn't know what being a coach was all about. 

I didn't know the lives that were going to change. 

I dove head in, within a week of becoming a coach I signed up for Annie's coach basics group - Impact Academy and started my first Challenge Group. A free 5-Day Jump Start Your Fitness group. It had 8 members - One was my husband - and 4 others were family members. 

I didn't know the positive effect a 5 day free clean eating group would have on my friends and family who trusted me, a new coach, to help them out. 

Flash forward to now - I have led 9 challenge groups with amazing results. I have made new friends, formed stronger bonds with old friends, re-connected with people I have not talked to in a long time.  I truly enjoyed my time spent in my groups withe everyone. I truly love being a coach. 

I know now, that I have helped my mom loose 65 lbs since Nov. 1st of last year. 

I know now, that my Aunt has gone off almost every single medication she was on previously. 

I know now, that men and women who have joined me on this journey have lost weight - AND GAINED CONFIDENCE. 

I know now, what being a Beachbody Coach is all about. 

I know that even if I can just help one person - it makes a difference to them. 

I want to share this story. I got to hear it told by Carl Daikeler, Beachbody's Founder and CEO at this years Coach Summit 2014 - and all I can say is after leaving that auditorium that day, I knew I wanted to build a team of people who want to help me help others!  I cannot help everyone alone and I want so badly to build a team to do it with me!  If even one person is inspired by this post today, then I have done what I set out to do!

3- Day Refresh Results and PIYO - It's on!

The refresh was nothing short of amazing. I can honestly say I was skeptical prior. I am a type 1 diabetic and tend not to loose any weight as quickly as most or as effectively. But after a 2 lb lost the first day, 1 lb the next day, and 1.2 lbs the day after that I am a true believer in the 3-Day refresh and how it really refreshes your system and let's you start anew.
I started my Refresh post a trip to Las Vegas - where I indulged in stuff like this:

It was vacation, and I was going to go all out!  

When I came home I was up 3 lbs in 6 days. Ouch. Corey was up 5 lbs in 6 days. 

So then we decided to dive into this program with 100% commitment - 

We never felt ravenously hungry, we felt satisfied. The first day I wasn't too sure about the shakes - I LOVE my shakeology, but the Vanilla Fresh shake didn't really do it for me. BUT by the 2nd day I craved them - even the thick fiber sweep! 

I realized why - I had been putting ugly processed foods into my body for a week! Natural is going to take a while to get back used to. But I did and in the end here is what happened: 

We did PIYO during the refresh, so not only did we see a drop in weight. But also a huge increase in definition by combining the two! 

My blood sugars stabalized, back to normal - with an average in Vegas in the 180's down to 110-130 by the third day. 

I lost another lb the following day by continuing to eat clean and eat the dinner recipe + chicken breast for dinner. 

Corey lost 6.3 lbs in 3 days and 7.4 a day later. 

Both of us were back to our pre-Vegas weights, and even a little less after!

I am just so impressed and in shock about how quickly this program kicked us back into shape on on the right track!

Corey also lost an inch off of his waist going from 33 inches to 32 inches and I lost .75 of my waist going from 32.75 to 32 inches in 3 days. 

This program is legit guys.

3- Day Refresh: Day 2 down, one to go and AMAZING results!

Ok - I am officially impressed. I woke up this morning thinking "Yesterday was a fluke, I usually loose 2 lbs a week, not in one night" But hopped back on the scale hopeful again this morning - and I was down another 1.2 lbs!!  That's 3.2 lbs total in 2 days everyone! Corey's results - even more impressive: Down 4.4 lbs this morning. Holy WOW!   So this is what a typical day looks like for us on the
Refresh:

Wake up- Water 10 oz

Shakeo - blended with banana option from the list

Tea - Apple Cinamon herbal tea

Fiber Sweep

Lunch: Vanilla fresh shake blended with banana option, 1 cup of cucumbers + 2 tbsp of hummus

Snack: Mushrooms + 2 tbsp of hummus

Dinner - Vanilla Fresh shake - no fruit; Veggie Stir Fry Recipe - (Serves one) 1/2 cup: green beans, red pepper, and carrots. 1 tsp coconut oil. 1/2 tsp garlic 1/2 tsp grated ginger.  1/4 tsp sea salt. 2 tbsp organic veggie broth. 

Water, water, water!  

I am on Day 3 - so far I am down 3.2 lbs and my blood sugar has stabalized from my Vegas trip. I feel incredible after day 1 (day 1 was a bit sluggish) - my skin has improved, mood, and energy. Believe me this is the real deal!

3 Day Refresh - Here we go!

So we have been in Vegas since Wednesday - having one of the most incredible experiences of my adult life at Coach Summit!  We got home yesterday, I feel so blah. Casinos have got to be one of the most toxic places on this earth. Constant smoke in the air, staying out late, little sleep, and all of the delicious food. Corey and I definitely indulged in it all (well not the smoking part - but gambling, drinking, staying out late, getting up super early, too much sun, and too much food!)  So when Carl and Isabelle Daikeler announced on stage the 3-Day Refresh, we were all over that.

Now onto the Refresh. These are not pretty photos - They are after being in the care for 12 hours and no sleep. But here they go: 

Our 3- Day Refresh Before's

Measurements: 

Leanne- Weight 121.4

Waist: 32.8 in

Average Blood Sugar throughout the Vegas trip - 181

Corey - Weight 147.4

Waist - 33

Let's see what we can do in 3 days!

Woo Woo Crested Butte!

What an amazing weekend. Taking a mental health mini-vacay away from your hometown can certainly do a person good! We did a lot of skiing (Brody too), a lot of good eating, and a lot of having fun! Just a little sneak peak into our little get-away to our favorite place in CO!

TRUTH.

This post today is meant for my challenge group participants. Truth: I worked my A$$ off this morning. I did Turbofire Fire 30 & Isometrix.

Truth: I cannot stand a day of just yoga. As much as I LOVE it and it is so good for your mind, body, and soul. I need my cardio fix on those days as well. Truth: I also added abs. Truth: I worked super hard today because I will be taking the day off tomorrow. (Well as "off" as you can take it while hitting the slopes in beautiful Crested Butte, CO!)

Not every day is going to be perfect. Tomorrow I plan on eating my normal healthy breakfast, skiing, having a *gasp* Bloody Mary, skiing some more, hitting up Pits in Paradise tomorrow night for their soup bar and grilled pita. I plan on going to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, because: well it's our tradition. The truth is over the past 95 days there has been some cheat days. Now, being over 3 months in, my metabolism can handle it. The thing to remember here is this: You do not HAVE to give everything you love up. If you try to do that you will go nuts, that and you will probably end up having a binge day. If you do have a cheat day or a day where you "fall off the wagon" the key is to get right back up and continue. Do NOT give up. Anyways: if you are one of our challengers - We won't let you!
