You Could Save A Chia With This Craft...

2010-04-22T09:42:00.024-04:00

Difficulty: Easy
Age: 4+

Since it's Earth Day, I needed to have an "earthy" goal. Sooo, today, my goal is to (no offense)... SAVE A CHIA! If this craft prevents even one Chia Pet from ending up in a local landfill... I'll be a happy girl.

It goes without question, that egg whites hit the spot when it comes to a good, nutritious, lean protein. For this craft, you'll need to hang on to those shells! Add a little soil and some seeds, and you, too, can create your very own "egghead" eggshell planter.

Why wheatgrass? Because it grows fast and thick. Also, you can use the young sprouts to make your very own wheatgrass juice. Wheatgrass juice is a yummy, deep green, nutritionally sound, addition to our diet. It's abundant in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, protein, chlorophyll, and it aids in food digestion!

Items You'll Need:
eggshells, top off, cleaned
potting soil
wheatgrass seed
egg carton
markers (optional)

Directions:
Decorate eggshells with markers (optional).
Set the eggshells in an egg carton.
Use a spoon to fill each eggshell with potting soil.
Sprinkle the soil with seed.
Add a thin layer of potting soil to the top.
Use a spoon to carefully add water to each planter.
Keep your eggshell planters in a sunny location.
The seeds will fully sprout in a week! (See photo.)
Trim and juice wheatgrass when it reaches 12-20 cm tall.

Juicy Tip:
Get a full shot of wheatgrass juice in every serving of Shakeology.

Celebrate Earth Day with Outdoor Activities

2010-04-21T15:15:00.007-04:00

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, head outside with the following list of activities to help your family appreciate the outdoors and our Earth.

Jump! Jump roping, is a great activity to improve strength and fitness and can be performed on grass or pavement.

Retreat to the Beach. Instead of driving to the beach, recreate a piece of the coast's serene atmosphere with a sandbox in the yard.

Fly a Kite! Show the kids how to soar into a colorful sky with only the force of nature to power your kite. A little wind needed, of course!

Give Back. Gather the family for a volunteer day dedicated to beautifying the earth. Many communities have organizations that regularly organize events like stream and trail clean-ups.

Be Bubbly! Take the kids outside and have your own bubble party! Create bubble wands out of objects found around the house like straws, pipe cleaners, strawberry baskets and coat hangers.

Take a Hike. Locate a nature trail near you and take the kids on a woodsy adventure. Hiking provides great exercise and hands-on experiences with the natural world.

Start a Kickball Game. All it takes is a rubber playground ball, make-shift bases and some friends. Create a neighborhood tournament and coach the kids though innings of bouncing fun.

Catch and Release. Observing insects is fun and educational. Give your kids an insect net and let them enjoy the chase.

Farm and Garden. Take the kids on a visit to local farms or farmers' markets. Better yet, plant your own garden that everyone can care for and enjoy all season long.

GO GREENER. As families strive to make lifestyle changes that incorporate indoor, outdoor, and eco-friendly activities, our company continues to offer a vast selection of environmentally friendly home workouts and nutrtional products covered by a 30-day money back guarantee. Nothing we sell is "greener" than Shakeology. Perfect for kids (and parents) that have a hard time getting their daily intake of vegetables. This meal replacement shake acts like a salad, but tastes like dessert.

Disclosure - The Full Monty

2009-12-01T09:00:00.004-05:00

As of December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to provide disclosures whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.

First, the obvious: I am a good Christian wife, a mom, a homeschooler, a cook and housekeeper, an avid reader, a register dental hygienist, a landlord (daddy calls me a land baroness), a free-range cattle rancher, a certified Turbo Kick instructor, oh yeah, and an Independendant Beachbody Coach.

Second, the less obvious: If I meetup with someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to specify this, as I would if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo (or if I buy it myself) and I wear it in a photo, ditto. Disclaimers all over.

This would be tedious for me and a continual eye sore for you, my readers. But, ya know what they say... da rules is rules.

To cover my "butt" and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every recommendation, link, and product I use, the following all hold true:

You Do The Sharing, We Do The Rest

2009-07-20T19:00:00.001-04:00

Reprint from our CEO, on Carl Diakeler's Blog...

An acquaintance asked me what she would have to do to be a Beachbody coach:

I said "Play, shake, and share."

She said; "Right, but what about running the business and all that stuff?"

I said: "For the price of a coach kit, here's what happens: We build a website for you, we take orders you get on your website and handle the inventory, billing, shipping, and customer service."

She said: "So what do I do?"

I said: "Play, shake and share... Use a fitness program that suits you, and replace at least one meal a day with a meal replacement shake. The results will be visible very fast and you can still eat the rest of your meals with real food, with the rest of the family. Share means to tell some people what you are doing every day via email, message boards, blogs, in the line at the grocery store. People you talk to will start see you're serious. They will see you drinking your shake. You tell them how easy it is to stay motivated because you're going deep on this one. And they will soon understand that the motivation to turn your weight loss into a profit is HELPING YOU STAY CONSISTENT."

She said: "How will that turn into income for me?"

I said: "We spend over $1 million a week advertising these products. Other network marketing companies don't do that. That means people you "share" with likely know about Turbo Jam, P90X, Ten Minute Trainer, etc. Tell them when they're ready to lose the weight they should buy them through you and join the club, and they will save 10% off the TV price. And to conquer the food problem, replace a meal a day with a substantial meal replacement shake. They might not buy today, but eventually they will see a product from Beachbody that sparks their interest, and they'll remember you were the one who made it sound easy. They'll want to buy from you and get the best price."

She said: "But how do I recruit other coaches?"

I said: "You've told me how frustrated you are that you can never stay with a program. When I asked you if having a money motivation attached to getting fit and eating right would help you stay with it, you said it would. We didn't talk about you getting rich, or buying a new car. We talked about how the slightest hint of an extra income would be that extra ingredient to help you exercise and eat better. And you told me you know a couple other people who could use an extra income and to lose twenty or so pounds. That is the start of an organization, and the path to also getting a couple customers from Beachbody."

She said: "You do the advertising. You set up the website. I don't have to buy a bunch of product to sell. And I don't have to ship it and bill people. I just follow your program to exercise, eat better, and talk to people about it. How can I be sure it will work?"

I said: "There's only one way this will work: If you do it. If you finally get consistent with Play, Shake and Share it will absolutely work. Our walls are lined with pictures of proof. But you have to want it seriously. This can't be another light foray into a lame "diet of the day". Once and for all, you have to want to do what works. Do you think you really want it?"

She said: "I so want to feel better about my body. And I need to find a way out of this debt."

I said: "What's the one thing standing in your way?"

She said: "Me?"

I said: "You can think about it. You can think about it some more. Or you can commit. The solution for your health and your income is right here. You pick the program, get the shake, and start to share it."

She said: "I do the sharing, Beachbody does the rest?"

I said: "Let's get started"

Water Preserves Your Body's Youth

10 Reasons to Drink Water

2009-07-09T13:59:00.003-04:00

By Steve Edwards
Why we should drink water? You know, water, "like in the toilet." This line, borrowed from the film Idiocracy, isn't so far from the way many people think about drinking plain water. In the comedy, the world's drinking water is replaced by Brawndo, a Gatorade-like electrolyte drink. We will deconstruct Gatorade at a later date, but today, I want you to understand why this is not an option. You can hydrate yourself with other liquids, but every time you do, you're chipping away at the chances of following a nutritional diet.

It's likely that the only reason you think you need to drink water is to stay "hydrated," but you might not truly understand what this means. Let's delve into the meaning behind hydration and just why you need to drink so much plain, "boring" water.

1. Your body is made up primarily of water. When you're properly hydrated, about two-thirds of your body is water—muscle tissue is even higher, at around 70 percent, while fat is less. Muscle powers your body and fat protects it. Put two and two together, and you may infer that water is vital to the things that make your body do stuff. When you don't drink enough water, your body declines into a state we call dehydration. Get too dehydrated, and your body will not function properly, which isn't too surprising when your body's low on such a vital nutrient. (Your body can be as much as up to 65 percent water!)

2. You don't need to drink 65 percent of your weight in water each day. This is because, one, if you lost all the water in your body, you'd be dead, and two, that water makes up most of all the living things on our planet. Since we eat living—or recently alive—things, we get some water from the things we eat. When we cook things, they lose their water. This means that the more raw whole foods you eat, the less water you need to drink. Fruits and veggies lead the group of water-rich foods and contain around 95 percent water. If you eat a lot of plants, you can drink less water. But if you don't...

3. There is more to hydration than just your water levels. Chemicals in your body react with water so that you can function. We lose water in the form of sweat, and sweat is made up of water and body "salts," which are mainly sodium, chloride, and potassium, but they also include magnesium, calcium, and so on. These are called electrolytes and, basically, are the reason that salt is such a vital component in your diet. Salt is a mixture of sodium and chloride, but generally, we use the term "salts" in reference to electrolytes. Too much salt is bad and too little is bad. Both can kill you. This is why, like water, the amount you consume should be directly related to the workload your body is put under. More P90X® or ChaLEAN Extreme® equals more sweat, meaning that you need more water and more salt.

4. What about water weight? Some people are afraid to drink a lot of water because they're afraid of gaining "water weight." This is the opposite of what you should do. Water weight is a term for your body holding on to excess water because it's not getting enough. The best way to get rid of water weight is to drink more water. It works two ways. If you don't drink enough water or if you eat too much salt in your diet, your body hoards water. This water/salt relationship is referred to as your electrolyte balance.

5. Generally, there's an easy way to tell if you need more water or salt; because most people drink too little water and eat far too much salt—especially those who eat in restaurants. So when you aren't exercising, you almost never need more salt. When you are exercising, getting enough salt becomes an issue. Endurance athletes are ever aware of the need to have enough salt to avoid a condition called hyponatremia, a condition that results when you've had too much water and not enough salt, basically just dehydration from a different angle. Those who don't exercise outdoors excessively almost never have to worry about this condition.

6. So what does water do for you? You'll often hear claims that water helps chemical reactions, regulates your body temperature, and lubricates your joints, eyes, and spinal cord. Sure, it does all of this stuff. In fact, since you're mostly made up of water, a case can be made that it does almost everything. So why split hairs? Your body doesn't work, at all, without being fed a lot of water. You can live days, weeks, and, sometimes, even months without food. But you can't live even a few days without water.

7. Itchy skin. Dry skin. Constipation. Sneezing. Dry cough, headaches, nosebleeds, and acne. These are common ailments related to drinking too little water. Since water regulates your body's functions, it makes sense that minor glitches in bodily functions may be related to not drinking enough water. And this is just a partial list of common ailments. Many symptoms blamed on allergies are probably due to living in a dehydrated state. When you are properly hydrated, your body can better defend itself.

8. The above symptoms may be worse in the winter. Water is required just to breathe, and you lose water through your mouth and lungs. During winter, when the air is dry, more water is required. Add forced heat in the air—like from home heating systems and fires—and the situation is exacerbated. This means that you need to drink extra water in the winter when it's cold, even though you are probably less thirsty.

9. Water and your immune system. During winter, lack of water will dry out the mucous membranes of your lungs, gut, and sinus passages and lessen your resistance to disease. These barriers protect your body against bacteria, viruses, and pollutants when you're fully hydrated and intact. Allowing them to dry out could be the leading cause of the common cold and allergic symptoms, not to mention things like constipation, sinusitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and long-term diseases like hemorrhoids and colon cancer.

10. Water and fat loss. We haven't yet discussed the importance of fat mobilization for energy and its relation to weight loss and effective exercise because, well, this is Nutrition 911 and that sounds complicated. Anyway, water is the main component of this action. A well-hydrated body has higher levels of oxygen in the bloodstream, translating into an increased ability to burn fat as fuel. The more efficiently you burn fat as fuel, the more effectively you exercise, leading to a better overall body composition.

How much water? It's said you need about 8 glasses of water a day. However, this will vary due to your activity level and environmental conditions. As a general rule, add a couple of glasses during the hot days of summer and the dry, cold nights of winter. During exercise, you may lose a quart an hour or more. While all liquids provide water, sugar, diuretics (caffeine, etc.), and carbonation reduce the hydration effect. Combining all three, as in soda, can reduce the hydration efficiency of the liquid to almost nil.

Easy Ways to Control Your Weight...

2009-06-20T23:54:00.007-04:00

We all want to find easy ways to control our weight. Whether that means adding muscle or dropping some pounds, it can be a challenge to meet our goals. While there is no magic solution, there are some tips you can follow to get the most out of your effort.

1) Losing weight gradually is the only surefire way to keep it off. If you have 20 pounds to lose, you can’t lose it overnight. Most experts will tell you losing 1 or 2 pounds a week is a good, safe goal.

2) Adding muscle to your frame is the best way to maintain weight loss. Muscle burns more calories than fat and requires more calories to keep it alive or “active.” Think of it this way …. your muscles are the “engine” of your body and you need to keep feeding them to keep the car moving.

3) Eating more often results in more weight loss. You should eat 5-6 small meals a day, instead of 3 big ones. Eating several small meals keeps your metabolism working instead of stalling out in between big meals.

4) Eat more natural whole foods. Eating as many whole foods as possible helps to eliminate your cravings for processed, convenience foods.

5) Try to find healthful substitutions for your favorite indulgences. Love ice cream but don’t love the fat? Try a low-fat ice cream, frozen yogurt, or better yet... frosty protein shakes. You’ll get the taste you love with only a fraction of the fat and calories.

What to eat...

2009-05-01T12:00:00.000-04:00

When embarking on a fitness journey, I would venture to suspect that the scariest and most confusing aspect is not the exercise itself, but proper nutrition.

The key to proper weight loss is nutrition. You're looking to burn excess body fat while you build lean muscle tissue. So, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein are gonna be staples at your house. And, let's face it, eating healthy is gonna cost ya.

But I've got an inexpensive tip for you... one way to ensure you're getting enough lean protein in your diet is to simply replace one meal or snack a day with either a Whey Protein Shake or Meal Replacement Shake for a buck a day. Or, get a serving of lean protein and an additional 5 servings of fruits and veggies with Shakeology at 4 bucks.

I'd be happy to send you a meal plan based on your individual daily nutritional needs. And if you sign up for your own free profile, please remember to send me an email. Then get started using tools that were designed to help you attain the best results possible, without worry... because I'm there for you.

You're Not Alone...

2009-04-20T05:15:00.004-04:00

The decision to lose weight is one of the most important ones you'll ever make. And you know what? Everyone's afraid to go it alone.

How Many Servings A Day?

2009-04-15T17:54:00.012-04:00

You know the saying, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, well if you're not getting enough produce in your diet, it's time to change your ways. The importance of consuming five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day has been well established. Fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, fibers and other health-enhancing properties. They're also responsible for warding off cancer and other deadly diseases. Okay, so maybe you don't like apples, there's plenty of other fruits and veggies for you to choose from in the produce aisle.

Seven servings a day is as easy as a 6 ounce glass of 100% fruit or vegetable juice, a medium sized piece of fruit, 1 cup raw salad greens, ½ cup of cooked vegetables, ½ cup of cut-up fruit or vegetables, ¼ cup of dried fruit, and ½ cup of cooked beans or peas.

Or, you can enjoy one Shakeology drink a day as a meal replacement or healthy snack alternative. Tagged "the healthiest meal of the day," one shake is equivalent to 5 trips to the salad bar! Whoa! That's alotta salad! Shakeology is packed with proteins and energy-providing carbohydrates, plus a combination of nutrients that is simply impossible to find at your local super market or even health food store. It's so delicious and satisfying, you'll eat less and lose weight!

Take a moment to visit www.Shakeology.com for more information and enjoy nutrition simplified...

The Envelope Please...

2009-03-18T19:25:00.007-04:00

Summit was a blast! The highlight was Saturday, March 14th, 2009. That evening, at The Globe Theater inside Universal Studios Hollywood, everyone enjoyed a swank cocktail reception, followed by a special Top Coach recognition ceremony, and the event everyone was waiting for... The Million Dollar Body Game Grand Prize Giveaway! Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon announced the two winners... Dallas Carter and Kristy McLean!!! Their lives were changed on the spot as they were each awarded $250,000 buckaroos!

........................

DALLAS CARTER
Kulia i ka nu'u. For those like Dallas Carter, who hails from Hawaii, these words, about the value of achievement, are words to live by. At 335 pounds, Dallas seemed destined to follow in his family's footsteps by dying young. Like those who came before, he suffered from heart disease, diabetes and respiratory problems related to obesity. His doctor went so far as to tell him he wouldn't live to see his baby daughter grow up if he didn't do something drastic.

So he started with Beachbody. It wasn't easy, but he persevered, and day by day, pound by pound, Dallas began to change. First he lost 20 pounds, then 50 pounds, then 70, and it kept coming off. He started working out with P90X along with One On One with Tony Horton, 10 Minute Trainer and ChaLEAN Extreme, and lost a total of 190 pounds.

Now, his doctor talks about using Dallas to inspire others to do the same. The literal translation of Kulia i ka nu'u is "strive to reach the summit." It is said that those who have this value continually pursue personal excellence. Just ask Dallas Carter, whose new motto is "Because now I can!"

KRISTY McLEAN
When it's time to kick it into gear, kick it up a notch and kick bad habits to the curb, people are relying on Kristy McLean. It wasn't long ago that Kristy weighed 235 pounds and suffered from sciatica and low energy. She loved food and loved enjoying time with friends and family, and though heavy, her overall physical health was OK. Her emotional health was another story. She felt huge and embarrassed. But she also knew that somewhere inside was a strong, confident, kick-butt person with amazing potential.

Kristy found Turbo Jam and it was love at first kick. Soon she was starting her days at 5 am, packing a cooler so she could be sure to eat every three hours. Now she follows that by teaching a Turbo Kick class at 5:30 or by doing ChaLEAN Extreme, Hip Hop Abs, or P90X in her garage. It's a new passion and a new career.

MALE FINALISTS...
Dallas Carter - June $10K Winner! Dallas had always been overweight, but it wasn't until the birth of his daughter that he felt he needed to change. Now he's lean, energetic, and weighs less than the total weight he lost!

Thomas Mygrant - June $1K Winner! As offensive lineman in college, Tom's size was an asset. After graduation, bad eating habits remained but his activity level dropped. Coaching football, Tom couldn't demonstrate maneuver.

Dale Bramall - Dec. $10K Winner! A former high school track star, Dale knew what it meant to be in great shape. As he got older and gained weight, those days of being a fit racer and competing grew more distant. P90X helped Dale get ripped again and recapture part of his youth.

Bill Schlotman – Oct. $1K Winner! When Bill broke his neck in a cycling accident, he didn’t know if he’d ever even be able to walk again, but since his girlfriend introduced him to Beachbody, Bill’s not just walking, he’s Bringing It harder than ever!

FEMALE FINALISTS...
Jocylen Davidson - June $10K Winner! After her second child, Jocelyn was so upset by the extra weight she'd gained she didn't even want to leave the house. With a new family she had to find herself again.

Kristy McLean - July $10K Winner! Kristy struggled to keep the pounds off for years, and things only got worse once she got pregnant. Now this mother of two is Turbo Jamming to good health, a great body and a happier life.

Audrey Nichelson - June $1K Winner! Having successfully battled Graves' Disease, Audrey's weight got so bad it ruined a well-earned vacation when she couldn't fit into her swimsuit.

Mary Crawford - May $1K Winner! Mary enjoys eating and as she got into her golden years, the eating caught up with her. Her mom had said they came from “good hearty stock” but Mary didn’t want that to define her.

Best wishes to all the finalists. I can't wait to see who Carl announces as the two $250,000 winners on March 14th at our Coach Summit!

Dang! I wanna look that good in a pair of boots! What's Sheryl Crow's fitness secret? That's the question everyone would like to know!

If you were watching the pre-Grammy coverage on E! Sunday night, you saw Grammy winner Sheryl Crow tell Giuliana Rancic the secret to her new svelte, toned figure. It's P90X! She credits P90X with helping her get back in rock-goddess shape after becoming a new mother preempted her from continuing her running routine. Watch the interview below...

From David Akers, kicker for the Philadelphia Eagles; Jason Scheff, lead singer of Chicago; Valerie Waugaman, aka "Siren" of the American Gladiators; to rocker Sheryl Crow, this program is hotter than ever. Could it be P90X's popularity is growing throughout the high-profile sports and entertainment industries?

All we can say to that is... Bring It!

Wanna Snack Less?

2009-02-09T16:16:00.010-05:00

If you answered yes to that question then ya better get some more sleep! Sleeping not only cuts down on the available time to snack, but it also helps curb your snacking.

A recent study found when people slept 5 1/2 hours a night they ate 220 extra calories from carby snacks - ya know, the ones that cause your blood sugar to spike, then crash - compared to those who slept 8 1/2 hours. Isn't that interesting? Ohhh, I think so...

Click here for more details on that study.

Just found this out...

2009-02-08T22:25:00.008-05:00

Why Network Marketing?

2009-01-31T17:29:00.012-05:00

I can't even begin to tell you how much I appretiate our CEO, Carl Diakeler. This opportunity has been such a blessing. The following is from Carl's blog. I had to share it here... the good posts and the bad. You gotta read Carl's response in the comments.

I love creating things, building something that will be productive and solve a problem. I also like building income over the long term. Creativity, contribution, and constant steady year-over-year growth... that's how I approach what I do.

Beachbody exceeded $300 million in sales last year, largely due to the success of infomercials like Turbo Jam, P90X, 10 Minute Trainer, Slim in 6 and Hip Hop Abs. We have the most compelling pipeline of new products and infomercial since we launched the company. So, why network marketing?

I believe the real opportunity in fitness is not in building a huge monolithic company that simply sells product to people. Companies have been trying to leverage fitness to build huge businesses for decades. Yet the obesity trend grows, and no fitness company has really succeeded in getting people to REALLY embrace what it takes to get healthy and fit. Not the equipment makers. Not the gym chains. Not the weight loss centers. Not even Beachbody. Yes, we continue to grow, infomercial by infomercial, selling great product to people, and we've had some amazing success stories. But many people still will start-then-quit just like everything else they've tried unless there is another dynamic at work.

That's what the Beachbody Coach Network is about -- adding the powerful dynamic of peer-support, the "Share" of "Play, Shake and Share", to help people stay accountable to their desire to get healthy and fit.

Our network marketing business is 16,000 coach-distributors strong and growing fast. We assign customer leads to qualified coaches (for free) when one of our TV customers says they want support to succeed with their program. The coach helps that customer set their start date, and stay accountable to consistency. Our coaches are not fitness experts or nutritionists -- but friends who care about revolutionizing how people approach their own health and fitness.

In exchange, in the future when those customer leads purchase another product from Beachbody, the coach gets the commission.

And it works. Anne Dovel sent me this email string... Amazing stuff:

============
From: Anne Dovel
To: Carl Daikeler
Subject: new customer lead

Hey Carl. Been a while since I’ve sent you a thumb’s up for everything you do. I thought you’d like to see a customer who is grateful for the coaching program. :) Thanks for everything. I hope you had a wonderful holiday and wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. :) Anne

Hi Anne! I am proud of the difference that I see. I know I can do this. It just takes time and effort. I honestly can't thank you enough for all your help. I am really grateful that Beachbody started the coaching program because I don't know that I would have been able to do all this without your help. I know my husband was trying to help me but he couldn't really come up with a menu for me and he really doesn't understand where I am coming from about hating the way I look. You do because you are a mom too and I think that is so cool to talk to you. You understand so much more than anyone else I've talked too. But anyways I will talk to you later. I hope you get your knitting fixed.

Thanks,
Susan

============
Anne gets it, and now another customer has had success. As Anne said to Susan in a reply: "The reason Beachbody started the coaching was because they found out that someone had a greater chance of succeeding even if they just had someone to talk to who had been through the challenges they are going through!"

And it's a win-win that will continue to grow. I know that because I get so many emails like this one from part-time coach Joey Petri. While many coaches are still working their way to their first check and income is always a factor of skill and effort, here's a young coach who is one of the many people who are turning this opportunity into a dream job:

============
I just wanted to share this with you guys because I'm super excited.

I added up all my commission checks from 2008 and I earned $13,394.98!!! This is amazing to me and I know that 2009 will be an ever bigger and better year. This money allowed me to go to school full time and pursue a 2nd degree in Phys Ed, this allowed me to live in my place and not move home, this paid my bills and my gas. (Disclaimer I also had some help from my savings as a pharma rep.) This is going to make 2009 an amazing and exciting year. Thanks again for all of your support!!

Joey

P.S. Traci, I still remember our 5 minute conversation at Tony's Camp in NY and I told you about how I was considering going back to school for my phys ed degree. You said Beachbody would allow me the freedom to do what I want to do and I'm so thrilled and excited to continue to make that conversation, that dream, a reality.

============
So when people ask me "Why Network Marketing", I respond that it is an imperative. Growth is one thing, contribution is another. This business model has both, and instead of one giant company, we're going to be a company of a million coaches, each their own independent company, helping 100 million people get healthy and fit. That's what we will achieve, and that's why network marketing is a priority!

Though there may be certain benefits of the coach network, I think it's a net loser for Beachbody. Even for die hard, loyal customers like me, the whole coach thing wreaks of a multi-level marketing scam. I believe you're well-intentioned, but the coach set-up appears unscrupulous from the outside. In the end, I think it leads to people doubting the integrity of your fitness programs, and that's too bad because they are absolutely the best DVD workouts available. If I were you, I'd ditch the coach network and put more resources into keeping your customers happy by improving customer service and shipping.

Carl Daikeler said...
First, thanks for your business. As far as looking like a scam goes, that's what they said about infomercials... but we've shown that a marketing medium of ill-repute isn't what's guilty, it's simply misused by unscrupulous people. Look at the P90X infomercial. It's more entertaining than most of the stuff I see on TV! And it's promoting a product that's getting people into incredible shape.

Network marketing as a business model has been abused for decades. But the power of people-helping-people is undeniable. The last the society needs is a giant "Wal-Mart of fitness". What I think is needed is a million people with an incentive to help those around them incorporate fitness and portion control into their lives. We've created that incentive. And that incentive, combined with "absolutely the best DVD workouts available" (thank you!) plus constant improvements in customer service and shipping equals a revolution in health and fitness.

All I know for sure is, many of the people who get involved are making money helping people succeed where they failed with fitness and weight loss for years. That's a win worth perpetuating. And that's why this is so important to see through.

My prediction is that in five years, people will look at this business model and wonder why gyms were ever so popular in the first place.

The Lean for Life Food Plan

2009-01-31T09:24:00.011-05:00

Special thanks to Jude Buglewicz for the following article...

Lean phasing in ChaLEAN Extreme has its place in the eating plan, too. As you progress through the Burn, Push, and Lean phases of your workouts, you need to fuel your body with the right foods in the proper proportions for each stage of muscle building and fat burning. You need protein for muscle, bone, and tissue growth, and healthy carbohydrates and heart-smart fats to supply you with the energy and nutrients you need to Get Extreme! But don't worry... Chalene's got you covered. Besides packing her Fat-Burning Food Guide with tips and eating guidelines to help you form lifelong healthy eating habits, she's included over 80 delicious recipes that are simple to prepare and laid out for you in an easy-to-follow plan that you can customize for your caloric needs. Here's a sneak peek at what's inside—a scrumptious lunch recipe and a light chicken dish for dinner. Buh-bye to the days of fat-filled fast food. As Chalene says, "Nothing tastes as good as lean feels!"

Beyonce, Ellen, Portia, and Kathy Smith...

2009-01-30T09:03:00.024-05:00

So where do you go to get the hottest news on the coolest celebs? People.com's BodyWatch of course! Beachbody found the perfect spot to showcase Kathy Smith's Project:YOU! Type 2... right between Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi, and Jessica Biel.

Kathy Smith's program, which was released in November 2008, is the healthy approach to help fight and manage type 2 diabetes. Here's what the endorsement said:

"Fitness guru Kathy Smith is helping people battling type 2 diabetes with her new nutrition and exercise program Kathy Smith's Project:You! Type 2. The program, which includes exercise DVDs, a 12-week workout guide, cookbook and fitness-and-food journal, will get you moving and eating right to help manage diabetes and reduce risks for complications. Plus, a portion of the proceeds goes to the American Diabetes Association."

What doesn't it say? And this is a biggie!

For the first time ever, the American Diabetes Association has joined with Beachbody and Kathy Smith to help fight this devastating disease. That this program is for ALL levels of fitness. That you also get a handy deck meal cards for you to mix and match, choose five a day and your meal planning is done.

Wanna Look Like a Sumo?

2009-01-29T14:24:00.009-05:00

Lafforgue Sumo, by Eric Lafforgue.

There's only one sport where they actually aim to gain as much body fat as possible: Sumo Wrestling. If you listen to Chalene Johnson's Extreme Motivation CD, which comes along with the ChaLEAN Extreme workouts, you'll find out one way a Sumo fattens himself up. But there's more! The website diet-blog posted a few things that a Sumo would do to get so big:

1. Skip breakfast. By depriving their bodies of food after eight hours of sleep, their metabolic rates stay low.

2. Exercise on an empty stomach. If their bodies have no food, their metabolic thermostats are turned down even lower to conserve fuel.

3. Take a nap after eating. The Sumo secret for gaining weight is that, after eating, they sleep for at least four hours.

4. Eat late in the day. Going to bed with full stomachs means that their bodies must respond to the huge flood of nutrients with a rush of insulin, forcing their bodies to store some of it in the cells as fat instead of in the muscles and organs as nutrients.

5. Always eat with others in a social atmosphere. According to leading researchers, a meal eaten with others can be at least 44 percent larger and with 30 percent more calories and fat.

Hmmm, I think there's a lot we can learn from this!

No Salmonella Here...

2009-01-24T13:45:00.014-05:00

Great news! I contacted Beachbody because of the peanut butter recall scare... and guess what? We're not even affected by the FDA recall! This is what they had to say:

"Understandably there is concern about the recent peanut butter-related salmonella outbreak. Rest assured that all raw materials used in the manufacturing of our P90X® Peak Performance Protein Bars: Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor—and all of our nutritional products—have been microbiologically tested and certified free of salmonella. So enjoy these delicious bars worry-free."

That's really good news for me because the P90X bars are a staple at my house. They're a smart alternative to snack or fast-food options. They naturally support fat-loss goals while delivering healthy fuel to tone muscle. And they come in three yummy flavors: Peanut Butter, Cafe Mocha, and Wildberry!

The following links are for ingredients and nutritional information on P90X Peak Performance Protein Bars:

P90X Bars - Chocolate Peanut Butter.
P90X Bars - Cafe Mocha.
P90X - Wildberry.

Girls, I recommend a half serving for a snack option and a full serving for a meal replacement.

Eat 'em up... YUM!

Nooo! Not Peanut Butter!

2009-01-24T12:39:00.012-05:00

Whew! Looks like this Peanut Corp. peanut butter paste recall thing's gonna really mess up our peanut buttery snack options... but NOT our jars of PB! Thank you, LORD!

That's right! Most peanut butter sold in jars at supermarkets appear to be safe. However, there are quite of few things in our pantry that may be on the list.

Checkout this related FDA Recall List which includes some of my favs... Lara Bars, Clif Bars, and Zone Bars.

The FDA recommmends that if it's on the list... chuck it! They also suggest that if we are concerned about an item not on the list, we consult the product's website or call the toll-free number listed on most packaging. And, if you're unsure...

CHUCK IT!
Please consult a physician if you believe you may have become ill from eating a product containing peanut butter.

Tips to Avoid Mindless Eating...

2009-01-23T11:56:00.010-05:00

Tell me I'm not the only one that's ever polished off an entire bag of "whatever" while watching television! Well, not anymore! If we pay more attention to what and how we're eating we can help prevent this unconscious action from turning into an unhealthy habit.

New research suggests that the reason it can be difficult to eat healthy is that "hidden persuaders" lead us into bad eating habits. The National Institutes of Health gave us some tips to try to avoid mindless eating:

* Be aware of the size and shape of containers. It's the amount of food that counts, not what it looks like.

* Use smaller plates and bowls. Empty plates and bowls, even those of a smaller size, cue some people to stop eating.

* Read nutrition labels, paying attention to the serving size listed. Consider the facts; don't guess at how many calories you're eating.

* Look past the packaging. The wording on a food's package or the language on a menu can influence you to actually like a food better, increasing your risk of overeating.

* Keep visual reminders of how much you're eating. Keep wrappers, empty containers, bones, and other reminders of how much you've eaten nearby.

* Think about eating a meal that's healthier overall. Don't just focus on separate parts of the meal.

* Control your impulse purchases. Don't let signs encourage you to buy more than you need.

Swallow this...

2009-01-22T12:37:00.015-05:00

Everyday I take a handful of my favorite supplements: Activit, Core CalMag, Core Omega3, and Joint Support. I attribute my 35 pound weight loss to daily exercise and nutritional supplementation. I've never felt better... but sometimes, NOT all the time, I have trouble swallowing dem bad boys. My brain says "You can do it!" But my throat says "Uh, uh. Ain't gonna happen!"

I remember how I taught my youngest son to swallow his first "pill". I gave him a mini M&M, a glass of water, and the intructions to: 1) pop the M&M in his mouth, 2) take a sip of water, 3) tilt your head BACK and swallow. Then I had to wait patiently for him to try 6 or 7 times till it finally got that M&M down. Poor li'l guy.

Why doesn't it go down the first time? Guess what I found out? We're NOT suppose to TIP our head BACK! When we tip your head back we're actually closing off our throat. Sure, if we keep trying, we should eventually get the pill to go down like my li'l guy did. But, there's a better way...

Think about it like this, We have no problems swallowing a mouthful of food. When we eat, we don't take a bite of food, chew it up, and tilt our head back to swallow. Nooo, usually we're either looking down at our next bite or our head's in a neutral position.

Therefore, the next time you take your supplements, do this: 1) put the pill in your mouth, 2) take a sip of water, and 3) tilt your head DOWN and swallow. Try it! Your pill should go right down! Eventually, you're gonna be able swallow a handful of dem babies!

Let me know if this helps you...

30 Minutes a Day, Keeps the Fat Away...

2009-01-19T21:33:00.014-05:00

In the same amount of time it takes to watch a show on tv, you could burn a serious amount of calories. Time is precious and so is money. Save yourself the expense and schedule a practical workout for yourself at home. Individuals who weigh 150 pounds can burn up to 136 calories in 30 minutes of gardening and up to 238 calories while jogging in the same amount of time. Gosh! Just think of all the calories you could burn with Turbo Jam or ChaLEAN Extreme!

Are you missing something?

2009-01-18T22:16:00.001-05:00

Have you noticed that most diets, workouts, and exercise books are missing something?

Maybe you've even stuck with a specific program for a while and lost a few pounds. But, then... well, if you're like me, you start cheating... and slipping... and modifying... until you're back where you started.

Why?

Because, most of those trendy diets, books, and programs are missing the fundamental element for lasting weight loss success: MOTIVATION!

Motivation is the crucial factor anyone needs to lose weight... stay on track... and maintain a sleek, slim, sexy body for life!

If you've ever tried to lose weight on your own, you know how tough it is. It's easy to get discouraged when you don't drop pounds, and you start to think that losing weight is an impossible dream.

That's where your Coach, your success buddies, the message boards, the chatroom, the daily prizes, the success story contest, the trainer tips, and the live trainer chats come in. Whew! That was a mouthful! You'll gettons of support, motivation, inspiration, and guidance as you slim down and shape up.

Clearly, staying motivated is the keystone of success when you're working to lose weight and keep it off. And just because you workout at home, doesn't mean you have to workout alone. Let me help you succeed in your weightloss journey. Contact me today.

We can do this together...

The following is information for new Coaches:

All qualified Coaches can benefit from Beachbody's CUSTOMER LEAD PROGRAM. Fueled by a $90+ million annual media budget, Beachbody® has one of the most innovative and generous customer lead programs in the business. These are leads that have already said “Yes!” to Beachbody products. As a qualified Emerald Coach or higher meeting all Customer Lead Program qualifications, you become eligible to participate in this exciting program. Here’s how it works: Customers who respond to Beachbody® infomercials to purchase fitness programs are also invited to join the Team Beachbody Club or play the Million Dollar Body Game®. In both cases, they are informed that they will have an opportunity to engage with a Beachbody Coach, who will help them reach their goals. Do I have to pay for these customer leads? No, but in order to receive the leads, you must 1) be an active Coach with Emerald ranking or higher, 2) have engaged in “real time” WOWY® workouts at least eight times in the preceding 30 days, 3) be an active Club member, and 4) have posted a completed profile page with at least a “before” photo and bio. Note: Profile page updates must be approved before leads can be received. Approvals can take up to 48-hours (two business days). Upon approval, Coaches will begin receiving leads. Beachbody is committed to ensuring that all of our customers receive quality coaching focused on getting them results. We believe that once our Coaches achieve Emerald rank and have participated in the most important activities that showcase real dedication to results, they are familiar enough with our programs and products to effectively coach a new customer.

Let's do this together...
