Coaches From All Walks of Life!

You've been thinking about being a Beachbody Coach, but feel you just don't have the time to commit?  Take a look at one of my teammate Seay's vast collection of coaches!  If these people have time to change lives, so do you!  So don't let those thoughts hold you back.  If you have the desire, anything is possible. 

So far my coaches consist of

- A full time supervisor at a very busy store and she's also a mom of 2!!
- A full time Coast Guard employee who also goes to school!!
- A full time domestic goddess of 3, who does double duty when her hubby's gone!!
- An 82 year young grandmother and great grandmother!  Although, she's what's called a discount couch.  A coach for the 25% discount on Shakeology or products only.

Will YOU be my next coach?  If you have the desire to help other people while keeping yourself motivated, why not give Beachbody a try??

Some of my shameful secrets on Shakeology, and a little help from Team Dynasty :-)

 The low down on Shakeology!  It's not a fad diet, or a diet at all.  It's not necessarily a meal replacement drink, UNLESS you want to use it that way.  It's NOT a protein shake  It's not an "energy" drink.  SO what is Shakology?  It's the healthiest, most natural snack, or meal of the day!!  I really don't talk much about Shakeology.  Why you ask?  To be perfectly honest with you, I don't know all the logistics of Shakeology.  I just know it's amazing and it makes me feel lubricated, healthy, makes my skin glow, and HELPS with my protein intake.  It's really hard to explain (I tried HERE), so to be honest.....I'm the worst person to really ask about it, because all I can say is it's simply amazing, and let me be honest again....when I originally bought it, I bought it because I wanted to hate it.  Doesn't make much sense really, but I just wanted to tell people that tried selling it to me, yes I tried it and I hated it.  BUT as you all know, that didn't happen.  Yes, I know this is a little honest.  I just really wanted to get it out there!  I DO want you all to know the actual break down and why it works, so here is a break down from one of our Team Dynasty shakeology experts, Seay Stanford.  I really hope to someday (very) soon gain the confidence and knowledge to give knowledge like Seay does.  She can break down each of the 70 ALL NATURAL ingredients and tell you exactly what they do.  Maybe if I break it down by week???  Think I'll try to make that one of my New Year resolutions.  SO here is what Seay has to say!!

Shakeology is NOT a protein shake. Nor is it a weight loss shake. It is a 100% natural (Macro and micro) nutrient dense meal replacement. It is not a one-dimensional protein shake. The fact that some people say it tastes like "grass, lawn clippings and cheap chocolate" is actually a selling point. Our taste buds have been so "brainwashed" on what real whole foods actually taste like, that we generally don't know natural real whole cocoa from processed chocolate. Because Shakeology IS 100% natural (created by a vegan with a masters in nutrition and agricultural anthropology) the standard to remain natural does not allow for ANY artificial flavors, colors, stimulants, sweeteners or chemically modified micronutrients. Nearly every single product found in gyms, GNC, internet, you name it, have a LARGE amount of man-made chemicals dumped in it so that it tastes appealing to the general publics "idea" of what food SHOULD taste like. The fact that it tastes the way it does is my point. When you add ONLY what nature provides, you get the CLEANEST and PUREST product possible. On to the superfoods. I don't expect the average person that follows you to know what Astragalus Root, Ashwagandha Root, Chia Seed, Maca Root, Gogi Berries and Reishi Mushrooms are (just to name a few super foods, I'll spare listing all 70). Nor do I expect them to have general knowledge in all the health benefits and medicinal treatments that these foods have notoriously been used for centuries to reduce free radicals from our body, improving our white blood cell count which helps us fight disease, reducing inflammation (the number one marker of EVERY disease), improving the natural flora in our digestive system, etc. If Beachbody grew these products in a lab and modified them to keep them cheap, that would be one thing, but EACH of the 70 super foods are imported from the countries, climates and pure soil they originate from and then dried to a specific protocol to maintain a whole food- absorption integrity. Everyone should value this $4 meal. I first hand, have hundreds of clients that Shakeology has reduced their needs for diabetic meds, statins and ace inhibitors. Its also relieved countless cases of IBS, colitis, and arthritis. To my clients, paying $4 and getting off their pricey side-effect laden medication is MUCH cheaper and a price well worth $119 for a month supply. And none of them complain about the taste ♥

Thank you Seay, so wonderfully put!!!  I also want to say it has helped quite a few Dynasty Team members who have depression, and I'm sure there are MANY others.  Also my good friend Rebecca, read her story HERE, and her fight with Fibromyalgia.  It has also helped with my skin, cravings and energy levels.  Now I know I said that it wasn't an energy drink....what I meant was, it wasn't an un-natural energy drink.  And the cravings, basically when your body craves, it's craving nutrients.  When you eat processed food, it has NO nutritional value, so your body re craves food hoping you GET something of value.  This makes a vicious cycle of thinking your always hungry and that equals weight gain!  Since drinking Shakeology, my cravings have been CUT big time!! 

So, take that bite...or sip and start Shakeology!  You honestly have nothing to lose!  Just give it a serious month.....give it time for your tastebuds and body to adjust!!  Don't like it?  Send it back for a full bottom of the bag refund.....kinda like what I was going to do ;-P  Want to try it first?  I sell individual packets on the side of my blog!  Want to mix it with a new workout?  Order a Challenge Pack!!  Read THIS to find out why you can't just buy 1 packet.  Questions?  Just ask below, on my Facebook or email me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last week of Ultimate Reset Notes, and YOU CAN try it to!!

Hey everyone!!  I feel really bad that I never updated days 10-21 of the Ultimate Reset like I promised!  Everything went really well, and honestly, days 10-21 were much like days 1-9.  The food was plentiful, and really good.  I did end up getting a pretty bad migraine on day 13 I believe, BUT it was more hormonal related....if you catch my drift!!  There were also a lot of people on the group forums that talked about all this energy that they got in weeks 2-3.  I honestly never got that energy and I'm not sure if it was due to my period coming that week.  I'm usually VERY, VERY tired that week but I did noticed that I wasn't AS tired as I normally feel.  I didn't feel dragged down.  I also cheated on day 18 and had some pasta at a girls get together.  I made my food and brought it over....but the Italian in me just couldn't stop my mouth from watering, and I just had the worst urge.  Honestly, I'm pretty excited that I made it 18 days following the plan!!  I think I did pretty awesome!!!  I did learn quite a bit, and as far as post-reset goes, I actually am feeling WONDERFUL right now, better than I have in YEARS!!  I've had quite a few things on the menu again.  Trying to stick to eating healthy still and the food was soooo good, I don't mind mixing it in the weekly plan!  My energy has been through the roof.  Although, like I said, I wish I actually felt like this during the reset.  Working out got me pretty winded the first week, but now I'm just having a blast with TurboFire!!  YES!!  I finally started TF and it's going so well.  I really like it, although I DO miss lifting.  I'll get back to ChaLEAN Extreme once my 90 days of TF are over.  I'm in the middle of week 3 right now.  There are a ton if  things I DID learn about the Ultimate Reset I want to share some of the things that stuck out the most, including some more food pictures and then I will get to my stats and HOW YOU can try the Ultimate Reset for the New Year!!

• I finally know the true meaning behind "abs are made in the kitchen"  If you've been wondering WHY you haven't seen amazing ab results from working out.....it's because you need to eat healthy non processed foods!!
• This isn't your "NORMAL" cleanse!!  It's not the "eat once a day, drink your lemonade concoction the rest of the day" YOU WILL EAT and you will eat a lot!!  Three times a day, BUT the meals are HUGE!
• If you drink anything with caffeine, you'll want to clear it out of your system before you start, or you'll have a headache for the first 3 days FOR SURE!  Luckily, I don't drink caffeine, so this didn't happen to me.
• I rested well, had really strange dreams though.
• Figuring out what actually FUELS my body!  When you eat bad, you body craves nutrition, so it begs for more food......once you start eating nutritionally dense foods, your body won't crave as much, because your FEEDING it what it needs!
• Have time to prep the food!!  Look ahead and READ the recipes to see what you need to prep.  I work different hours almost daily.  I made a schedule weekly and wrote out what I needed to do to make this WORK.
• The first week of shopping was pretty expensive for most people.  It cost about $200, but most of the stuff you re-use for week 2 and 3 so groceries for those weeks were in the $50-75 range.  I usually spend about $175 a week to feed Devin and I........so it wasn't really that bad.
• A few days after the reset I wanted some beef a roni, well.....that tasted like crap!!!  And so did the Hosteds Cupcake I bought (yeah, I know, bad!!). I threw them both out after 1 bite and never looke back!!
• Discovered that I'm a big muncher!!  I eat while I'm working on the computer, I eat while I'm watching TV, and not healthy options either!  WOW this really opened my eyes to why I wasn't really making the big strides that I thought I should be making!
• Realized how much I missed my Shakeology!!  It just adds the extra oomph I need in my day, with no caffeine or stimulants.....also without it, my face just goes CRAZY!!  I ended up adding the Vegan formula back into my schedule towards the end of the reset.   

I did this reset to basically see how my diet directly makes me feel, and to reset my body.  It was an amazing journey and one that I WILL do again!!  In 6 months I will re-follow the meal plan without the supplements.  Next November I plan to do the whole thing over again with the supplements!  So on to my stats.  I didn't do this to lose weight, and they try to STRESS that this IS NOT a weight loss program, but if you do lose weight, then that is an added bonus (and most people DO lose weight).  If you are closer to your goal weight you probably won't lose a ton.

•  I ended up losing 5 pounds, and in the  3 weeks since the reset, I've gained 2.5 back.  BUT it's that time of month again, so about a 1.5 of it is just bloat
• I stayed the same in my arms
• Lost 1 inch in my chest 
• Lost 1 inch in my waist
• Lost 1.5 in my belly area
• Lost .25 in my butt
• Lost 1 inch in my upper thighs
• Lost .5 in my lower thighs. 

SOOOO I lost almost 5 inches in my body!  I've gone up a little on that as well, but like I said, it's not a good time of the month to be measuring my body!

Here are a few more pictures of my last few meals

IS the Ultimate Reset something YOU could do??  Sure!  Almost anyone can do it!!  The question is if you have the drive to do it!!  I think the perfect candidate is someone that would like to learn to make better choices with their food, someone who'd like to lower their cholesterol, reclaim their body, help your body run more efficiently, jump start a workout program or all of the above!! 

Beachbody has a special going on for the next few weeks!  It's time to start 2013 on the right foot!  Between December 3rd and December 16th: My customers will receive $30 off the price of every Ultimate Reset Base Kit, Deluxe HD Kit, Ultimate HD Kit, and the Ultimate Reset Challenge Pack!!   If you have any questions at all, please email me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com or get a hold of me on FaceBook or comment below!  Once you buy any of the kits or challenge pack, I will personally correspond with you daily to answer any questions you have and to encourage you (trust me, you'll need it!!) and also connect you to the Facebook pages you'll need to get through!
