Annual BeachBody Summit in Hollywood, California!

What a wonderful experience we had at the Annual Beachbody Summit this last weekend at Universal Studios, Hollywood, California! Beachbody coaches grow with 12 000 coaches from the previous year and is just getting stronger! To be a coach is one of the most fun rewarding jobs you can ever have! It's all about helping people to live better lives, and love the people you are coaching! This last weekend we had our second annual summit. The theme for this weekend was Dream Extreme. The topic was picked because the summit is nothing else than helping us as coaches to dream "extreme!" Dream BIG!


Joining a wonderful group of fitness leaders together with the best company in the world in fitness, we had the time of our lives! Beachbody is a company that started in 1998 with the two men, Carl Daikler and Jon Congdan. Together they build this amazing company called Beachbody. Going from a million dollar company to a billion dollar company, I'm so proud to be part of it!




Beachbody is the makers of P90X, 10 Minute Trainer and P90 (by Tony Horton), Turbo Jam and ChaLEAN Extreme (by Chalene Johnson), Slim in Six and Total Body Solution (by Debbie Siebers), and Hip Hop Abs and his soon NEW release INSANITY! (by Shaun T)






At the Beachbody Summit we also had a sneek peek at NEW and exciting products. Some NEW Fitness DVD's like - Rev Abs, Turbo Fire (by Chalene Johnson), and Insanity (by Shaun T)
I didn't had the opportunity to give Charlene Johnson or Shaun T a hug, but I sure did give Tony Horton a hug, (and it was a nice one too!) - oh... and Debbie Siebers! She is sooo pretty!




New products:
- Shakeology - I got ONE word for this new product! - "bestmealofthedayinoneglass!" - Sounds about perfect to me! Shakeology is 70 ingredients conveniently located in ONE glass! Go checkout: www.Shakeology.com and get back here to ask questions!
Later this year we will also launch a new product to supplement Shakeology and that is Shakeology Fiber. Not only am I excited about Shakeology, but it is possibly the best business opportunity there is to generate instand cash fast! As me about that today!




Very IMPORTANT! Beachbody give away nothing less than $800,000 this weekend to 8 lucky winners that transform their bodies into the best shapes of their lives! Congratulations to Dallas Carter and Kristy McLean for walking away with $250,000 each, and their runners up! Awesome guys!




Another very fun part of being a coach is the awards that Beachbody provide to us. Starting this year, we don't only have to be top coaches in our organization, but we can also make it happen by promoting and working your business through the NEW Shakeology product sales.

I don't know about you, but I'm gonna be in Hawaii next year!

...Last - you can't affort NOT to go... make this a team effort! See you in Hawaii!

The ZZZZZZZZ's on sleep and losing weight...

It might sounds funny and unreal, but you burn calories more efficiently when you get enough sleep. With Daylight Savings time coming up this weekend, you should take this opportunity and get a hold of your sleeping pattern....

How it works

Enough sleep is a very important piece of the puzzle in your goal to reaching your target weight. Research shows that sleep-deprived adults and children are more likely to be overweight. There is actually a direct statistic between hours of sleep missed and the degree of overweight.

Not sleeping enough triggers hormones that regulate your appetite. The appetite-stimulating hormone, called ghrelin, will increase when your awake long enough and the hormone, Leptin, that triggers "fullness" is decreased. When your not sleeping enough the hormonal changes make you crave more carbohydrates, like bread and ice cream. In NON-ROCKED SCIENCE language: Your body processes glucose less efficiently, and so your body wants more! (sugarrrr...and that's comes in various forms!)

Ever heard of Cortisol? Cortisol is a hormone released during STRESS. Well, cortisol levels rise when you don't sleep enough, and high levels of cortisol causes fat to store in the lower abs! Yes - that dreaded belly fat.

SO! RESET your biological "TIC-TIC...TIC-TIC"



People who are careful about eating and exercise, often don’t realize the harm they create by missing sleep.
Fast Fact: The average American sleeps 6.9 hours a night, but adults need at least eight hours and teens need at least nine.

To get back on track with a good routine is:
* Make a point of going to bed and getting up earlier. Instead of "springing" ahead with your bedtime, try sticking to your winter schedule when the clocks change.
* Start to wind-down 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime, put on some relaxing music, or read a book (maybe a boring one that won't keep you up all night!),
* Avoid coffee or Soda's (caffeinated products) starting early evening.
* Exercise everyday - (that should whine you down....)
* and last... keep your bedroom quiet, dark and cool. Put on the fan, or crack a window...

Get caught up on sleep and see if you aren’t quite so hungry or craving less sweets! Look out for the belly fat to melt away!




Soooo.... What keeps you from your sleep?
Your thoughts are welcome!

YES, You Can!

Still trying to get into the habit of actually committing to my blog...this is what I want to discuss today
... 6 Meals...YUMMY!!!

I often get asked as part of being a Team Beachbody Fitness Coach and Pre- ISSA Professional Trainer, why I frequently recommend that fitness peeps eat five to six times a day? Many woman say that they can't manage that. And then after receiving emails from busy woman whom are trying to handle two or even three jobs...my answer still is: YES, you can do it!

It just takes a little organizing. Naturally I don't recommend a 3-course extravaganza but something fast and easy that will curb your appetite for two and a half to three hours. I firmly believe that breakfast should be your biggest meal of the day. Yes, and I hear many woman saying: I had toast and a hot cup of coffee and that's my breakfast for the last 25 years and I have no appetite after that!

So my suggestion is---- One word: "LET_IT_GO!" Break free from that habit...
Go for hot oatmeal and berries, followed by boiled egg or scrambled egg whites, and whole grain toast. Make tea, coffee or water your beverage.

The rest of the day should be meals that you prepared the night before that can be eaten every 2 and a half to 3 hours. A few suggestions would be: `Grilled Chicken Breast and an Apple, Water-Packed Tuna and brown rice, Cottage Cheese and a salad, egg whites and a sweet potato. Ezekiel bread and one tablespoon nut butter or beans and chopped turkey in a whole wheat wrap.

As always! I would love to hear what your comment is... Good, Bad or Ugly!

In this Together.
