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!

When too Much Stuff Goes On....

When too much stuff happens around me....I neglect my blog :-(  How horrible I've been!  Life's been crazy with the Ragnar Relay, the Nike Half, and basically just plain too lazy to write the blog and tell you all about what's been up....and I'm sorry.

So now's the time to start fresh!  Since doing the Nike Half Marathon I really haven't been running too much.  I DID start a new workout program called Body Beast and I'm in love!!  It's more lifting than my favorite ChaLEAN Extreme, and less cardio, so I'm going to be adding 3 days a week.  I'm not going to do a lot of running per say, but 1 day of fast paced high incline walking/jogging, another day I'll do a semi long run, and then of course I'll do the cardio DVD that comes with the program for my 3rd cardio day.

I've already finished 21 days of Body Beast.  The first block is called the Build phase and was 3 weeks long.  I took my measurements yesterday, and I'm very pleased, and I don't even mind that I gained a pound.  I'm into my second day of the Bulk phase, and that'll be 5 weeks long.  Today happens to be Leg day, so no extra cardio for me, I'm telling you, the leg workout in this program is crazy and the first time I did one, I couldn't sit to pee......it was bad......

I posted my 21 day measurements over at my Facebook "Like" page (go like me if you haven't!!), but will post my 30 day pics and new measurements here, so be sure to stay tuned, I'll keep you all updated on my new transformation!!

ALSO Beachbody's Black "Friday" Sale starts TOMORROW......not exactly sure why they call it a Black Friday sale when it starts on Wednesday, but anyways.......that would be another reason to go LIKE my page!!  I'll only be posting the specials there, and Beachbody always has amazing deals, and they sell out pretty darn fast, last year some sold out within the first hour of being released.  SO my advice to you is DON'T wait if you see something you want, don't dilly dally about it!!  I promise you if you wait you'll regret it and you won't see prices like that again, trust me! I kick myself when I didn't get the Ultimate Reset they had on sale last year, I put it off, and when I finally decided to get it, it was GONE...and that was within a couple hours of me thinking about it.

This is also the last week of the November Special!  AND for those that read my blog THIS will be a special for YOU (don't want to give ALL the love to my Like page LOL) Beachbody is giving $20 to Feeding America if you purchase a Challenge Pack or $10 if you do Shakeology HD (home direct)  IF you do get the Challenge pack, Beachbody will throw in $20 toward YOUR NEXT Beachbody purchase and I personally will throw in another $10 for either a Challenge pack or Shakeology HD and ALSO a special gift from me worth anywhere from $10-30!!  Please comment below, or message me on my FB page  for more information!



I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!  And I'll see you all with my 30 day pics and measurements soon!! :-)
