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!

Settled in....and Exciting Beachbody News!!

I'm really loving it here in California, and we are pretty much settled in.  We received the last of our boxes and my treadmill this last week and all of our rooms are finally done!  We have all of our pictures up downstairs, and now just have a few to put upstairs.  Things are moving right along, and I'm feeling really good about how things are moving in our life.  I can't believe our 12 year anniversary is coming up, and about a month after, Devin's 16th year in the Coast Guard will be here!  I seriously cannot believe he can retire in almost 4 year if he wants!!  We got outstanding news a few days ago that he was #1 on a test he recently took, but due to some points that were taken away from his last advancement, and his low time in service and time in his rank (he was going against people that still had all their points, and more than 20 years in service and 4+ years in their rank) he dropped to #4.......BUT that's good enough and he'll most likely be making the next rank in 2014!!!  The last few years they've made 12 or 13 so 4 is a pretty good number to sit at, but you never know what they'll do for the next year, so we are optimistic, but still a tiny bit cautious.  Once he makes the cut (the first one comes out around September, and then quarterly) we will PARTY!!  I have the perfect week-day get away planned.......week-day because it'll be less crowded and the hotel will be less expensive.......we will be heading to Disneyland!!!!!!!

Last week Devin brought me to the Korbel Californian Champagne house and it was beautiful, fun and only 35 minutes away!!!  We ate, walked around, and then had a tour........once the tour was done, our tour guide had a private tasting waiting for us on their deck, and it was simply a gorgeous day!!  I thought that Korbel only did the Champagne thing, but they had some wine, port, sherry and brandy as well.

Here are some pics of our day :-)

Celebrating Devin's #1!!
Of course, there is always Beachbody news, and the news I'm about to give you is AWESOME!!!!!  As I've told you in a past blog, they've changed the flavor of Greenberry Shakeology, and it's really, really good!!!  BUT Beachbody has outdone itself and finally found the right combination to make a healthy, all natural Vanilla Shakeology!!!!!  For years the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler would not release a Vanilla due to the un-natural flavoring they would have to add to make it taste more like the vanilla we are use to.  Anything that says natural vanilla flavoring, really isn't, it's enhanced by artificial vanilla.  Carl wasn't having any of that.......so for years Carl and the Shakeology crew kept trying, and they finally have it!!!!  Rumor has it it's AMAZING, and I have my sample packs on order and will have it available for individual order on July 12th, so you can "try it before you buy it".  If you just want your own supply, ORDER NOW until July 7th for your One-Time free shipping, or just do an HD order and get it monthly and always have free shipping........

In other Beachbody news..........the kick ass Shaun T of Insanity, Asylum I and II, Hip-Hop Abs and Rockin' Body has done it again!!!  He's coming out with Focus T25, 25 INTENSE minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 50 days.  Right now I'm doing Insanity, and YES it's insane, but honestly, if you go at your own pace, and give it all you've got, anyone can do it!!  I'll be on my 3rd week starting Monday, and I already see my body change, and my eating habits have been less than stellar.....I can only imagine how amazing my results would be if I had a better eating plan........Oh well........anyways, so YES, Focus T25 will be out THIS MONDAY the 24th, and do you know what that means??????  CHALLENGE GROUP!!!

This Challenge group will start on August 15th, I know, I know.  Some of you are asking WHY SO LATE???  Well, first I want to finish up Insanity, BUT most importantly, I want ANYONE who is seriously looking into doing this challenge group to try a few samples of Shakeology for FREEEEE before they buy their Focus T25 Challenge packs!!!  Yes, you read that right!!  If you are serious about joining my Focus T25 group e-mail me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com for more details, OR find me on my FB page From Skinnyfat to Fit  (don't forget to like my page).

Well, I guess that's it for now!!  Thanks for reading :-)
