Guiltless Chocolate

Ok, I'm craving chocolate, and it's a craving with a vengeance!  The carrots, cucumbers, and fruit aren't fixing this craving. Does this happen to anyone else??  I don't deprive myself of a craving; however, don't want to put junk into my body either.

These are so good, and thankfully are more of a healthified indulgence!!! So I whipped up a batch and now my craving is satisfied! :-)

Happy ‪Tuesday Everyone!!

~ Guilt-free chocolate ~

4 Tbsp organic coconut oil

8 Tbsp Vegan or Regular Chocolate Shakeology

Melt oil. Mix in Shakeology. Pour into a muffin liner/pan and freeze for 5 minutes.

For more of an experience you can also add the layer of PB or almond butter. Freeze 15 min. Repeat the first step and freeze for 10!

New way to get in those superfoods with Shakeology?? Oh yeah!

Believe and you will see...

As I sat on the beach this afternoon starring out at the ocean I realized how blessed I truly am and how grateful I am I trusted my gut. Two years I signed my resignation letter and handed it to the director of the school I was working. I had nothing lined up for September and didn't even have a place to live yet, all I knew was... I was moving to the beach. My mom thought I was crazy and repeatedly asked 'you're really moving down the shore?'. To which I responded with 'yes, mom'. My aunt and Grammy kept saying to her 'Bon, she's got a good head on her shoulders she knows what she's doing.' However, it wasn't until I told her I could hear grandpa's voice saying 'you've got this kiddo!' that she was finally kinda on board. Along the way though I faced many unplanned struggles, the biggest being having the place I was supposed to move into fall through 3 weeks before I needed to out of my current place!!! Anyone else would have thrown on the towel... But not me!! I got on the phone with my bestie, we brainstormed and came up with a plan and a little financial help (thanks again). Two days later I met with Tara to check out the place I would end up moving into and do the roommate thing for the first time since college. I now had a place to live and my focus was on getting a job, which happened on Aug 25th. Moving day came and I had more stuff then I realized and ended up having to leave certain things behind and have my stepdad help me move things at 5am the next morning. During all this I was stressed out to point were at night I was elbowing myself in my sleep and would wake-up with huge bruises on my leg. I also wasn't working out and was kinda living on Shakeology. Even with all the stress and struggles (yes there are more) I never backed down from making my dream a reality. My faith and desire kept me going and its my faith and desire which keep me going with Beachbody. I have faced SO many struggles in my business, but I don't let this stop me. I take these struggles and learn from them. It is be learning from them in which I can now share what I've learned with my coaches, so they don't make the same mistakes I did. Unplanned events are part of life... It's what we do during these times and how we come out on the other side which matters most.

I would like to invite you to my FREE "What is Beachbody Coaching" Sneak Peak Group.

You will have the opportunity to hop into this group and learn how I have been able to go from lesson plans, emailing parents, and grading papers to being able to work my business from home or on the beach. How I have been able to grow as a person, step outside my comfort zone and help others do the same.

The photo says it all. You can have it all! And I am here to show you why and how! This group will not require you to pay for anything, you can just be a fly on the wall and learn about what it is I do as a Beachbody Coach. If you have been on the fence, watching on the side lines, nervous to take that leap, and just want to learn in more detail about how I have built a business from home, this is the group for you!

We will be together for 4 fun filled days! I promise you this will be worth your while and who knows, it could be the best decision you have made all year!

Comment below with your email address or message me and I will send you the link to join! We start on Monday June 22nd. :-)

How to Get Fit Fast: Yes It Is Possible!

All of us want to be healthy and fit, but many of us would like to see some decent results in a shorter period of time. We want to know the tips and tricks to get some results. We want to know “How to Get Fit Fast”. Seeing results in a couple of weeks and seeing your body starting to change within a month or so, will help to keep you motivated and you will be more likely to keep going. At the same time, you need to make sure that you are keeping a balanced regimen and not overdoing it, as this can be counterproductive.

So what does it take to keep balance in nutrition and exercise, while still producing quick results? It really just comes down to your commitment and these few quick and easy tips.

A Balance of Cardio and Resistance Training: It has been scientifically proven time and again that having a balance of cardio exercise and resistance training, coupled with balance and flexibility training will create the greatest results. However, everyone is different so you will need to find the best balance for your body. The best way to do this is to utilize a program that has a pretty equal balance of cardio exercise days with strength/resistance training days.

Women, there is no reason to be worried about resistance training. You will not gain big bulky muscles with a balance cardio and resistance plan that utilizes the appropriate weights. Same goes for you men. Don’t think doing cardio is going to keep you from building the muscular physique that you desire. When you choose the right weights you can lose that fat, and put on the muscle you want.

It would be suggested that you spend a minimum of 21 days on a specific program to see how your body is responding. After the 21 days you may decide if your body seems to respond better to a few more days of cardio or resistance training and make changes to your program as necessary. Though it is highly suggested to have a minimum of two days per week that is resistance training. The 21 Day Fix is a great program to consider when starting out. It is perfectly balanced to provide results.

Consume a Balanced Nutrition Plan: If you want your muscles to repair and recover faster you need to have balanced nutrition. Balanced nutrition consists of portion control, and 4-6 servings of vegetables, 2-3 servings of fruit, 4-6 servings of lean proteins, 2-4 servings of high fiber grains, and 1-3 servings of healthy fats. The servings are determined by your total calorie consumption needed on a daily basis. A clean balanced nutrition plan will aid in weight loss, and help build lean muscle.

Within your balanced nutrition plan you will really want to put emphasis on vegetables and fruit. Remember that these should lead your plate. When your body has the nutrients it needs, your body can process the proteins better as well. This will create a healthier body inside and out, help keep your energy levels up, and overall aid in weight loss and muscle recovery.

Additionally, you could add a meal or snack replacement shake that also provides complete nutrition, like Shakeology. This will keep your nutrient levels at a proper level, increase your energy, provide you a high-quality source of lean protein, and all of your vitamins and minerals. You may want to consider some of these quality nutrition plans when to help you out. You will find complete balance in the 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, or other Beachbody Programs that offer similar nutrition plans.

Do Something You Enjoy: There are a number of different programs, regimens, and activities that you can do that could create results. However, choosing a program, regimen or activities that you enjoy will make all the difference. Keep in mind that having a regimen with numerous different activities and exercises may create greater results. Let’s face it, it gets boring you spend a full hour on a treadmill or elliptical trainer. It is much more effective to participate in a program/regimen that is 30-40 minutes of highly effective cardio and resistance training that you enjoy.

An incredible option would be to take a look at Beachbody On-Demand. You can subscribe and gain access to over 150 different streaming workout videos that you can choose based on your interests and do in any location. So there is no getting bored since you can just pick a different program or workout every day if you so choose. Beachbody On-Demand also gives you an incredible variety of on-line tools like meal planners, shopping list, workout logs, and support from a Beachbody Coach at no additional cost!

What are you waiting for! You now have these quick and easy tips to start getting results right away. Start losing weight or building muscle, and create that healthy body you have always wanted.
