About Me

I'm Amanda! I'm a Beachbody coach and this blog is to hopefully motivate and encourage anyone who is trying to live a healthier life style. Why do it alone? It's a proven fact that with encouragement and positive motivation from other people, you are more likely to keep going!! I'll try to have motivating tips, recipes, healthy transformations and how to get involved and join the monthly challenge groups that I run!

So SORRY!!!

WOW It's been a little while since I've updated my blog!!  Life has been pretty hectic, and my computer decided to die on me.....got a new one, and that one crapped out on me a day later!  So I ended up getting a MAC, and so far so good!!

Ran my first race of the season, the Shamrock 15K in Portland, Oregon.  I fell in love with the challenge last year and made sure I signed up for the run this year.  The course is pretty tame the first 2 miles, and then leads you to an amazing hill called Terwilliger.  It's basically 3.5 miles of up hill, and then after the hill the last 3 or so miles is basically smooth sailing (what goes up, must come down)  It's a great race with 35,000 participants and sooo much fun, and so much green and St. Patties spirit!  Last year I finished in 1:38:18 and this year I was DETERMINED to beat my time with a 1:35.  AND I DID IT!!  1:34:17!  It was an amazing day out as well, 40ish and sunny, it was also my first run outdoors since late September.  I want to send a special shout out to my amazing treadmill for having the course downloaded into the system, and also ChaLean Extreme.  Last year I wasn't really strength training, I really think know that helped!  Tomorrow I start training for the Rock n Roll Half Marathon....that's in May.  I've really got to up my hill training, because this course has some BIG ones!!  This last two weeks, I'll be finishing up ChaLean Extreme and moving on to P90X (more on that below)


After
Before






                                           












In other news, things are picking up on our big move to California!  Should be in our new home a little after June 1st.  Like I've said before, I'm really, really, going to miss Oregon and all the amazing people we've met.......but I'm always up for change, I love to move and explore new areas!  So I'm ready for this new adventure with my amazing hubby!

SO on to Beachbody news!!  A few important dates......IF you've been wanting to try Shakeology, the TIME IS NOW!!  Lock in your price BEFORE March 31st!!  Even those that are on Shakeology but do not do the monthly auto ship (HD) DO IT, lock in that price!!  (Details in picture below)  Don't say I didn't warn you!!!




Also, if anyone is interested in our P90X Spring into Summer Challenge group, let me know!!  Sign up ends on the 25th and we have 5 people NOT including myself and my coach Jill.  If you have the program, JOIN US......if you don't click ------> HERE  and if you want to lock in that price for Shakeology, grab a challenge pack (AMAZING DEAL ON the P90X Challenge pack going on NOW) ------> CHALLENGE PACK.  You can email me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com, or send me a message on my From Skinnyfat to Fit  Facebook page (and don't forget to "like" it)                                          


Last, but as they say, not least......I added NEW items for individual purchase!!  The Results and Recovery packets(<-----------click to learn more about the packets) are amazing!  My husband swears they keep him working out (because you don't get to drink them until after the workout).  Also newly added is the Energy and Endurance packets.  NOW the truth on the E&E (as we call it) yes, it kinda taste bad, NOT HORRIBLE, but not as amazing as the R&R (you guessed it, Results and Recovery).  I'm all for the truth, and I give it!!  The energy you DO get from E&E is a nice steady energy, nothing that makes your heart feel like it's going to fly outta your chest.  I use it 15 minutes before my workout when I need the extra pick me up after a long day at work.  I don't use it all the time, like I said, just when I need it!  NO CRASHES either.  It's just a good controlled energy.  I started out with a half scoop and that adjusted fine.  I am pretty sensitive to caffeinated beverages (coffee, Red Bull ect).  So those are the two I've added!!  If you'd like to try some packets before making a big commitment, simply place your order on the right hand side of your screen (scroll up a bit) :-)  I also have all the Shakeology flavors!! ALSO, if you order the 3 Day Cleanse Kit, I will send 2 packets each of the R&R and the E&E (got the lingo, right?)  It's the perfect time to start a cleanse!!  SPRING IS HERE!!!
