Catching up!

I've been crazy busy this last few weeks!!!  SO much to blog about........work has kept me pretty busy with the holiday's rolling around the corner.  Devin's leaving again soon, so I've spent as much time as I could with him and had a great time as always, so many amazing memories <3  Our picks are here for the big move next year, and they will be official on October 1st, I'm praying that they change a little bit, but so far, since the 17th of September, nothing has changed.  I finally did the Kiss Me Dirty run in Portland this weekend and it was a blast!!!  My amazing friend Jill ran it with me.

This coming Sunday is the Great Columbia Crossing, and to tell you all the truth, I'm not sure I'm really ready for it.  I've been so bad about running this last month.  I know I can finish it, I know I can run the whole thing, but I really wanted to finish in an hour or less, and I KNOW I won't be able to do that.  Oh well, at least I can say I did it!!!

Speaking of October 1st, I was going to do the Ultimate Reset, but my sister is coming to visit from New York on the 9-23rd so I'm holding off until the 29th.  I'm pretty sure she'd shoot me if all we did was eat super healthy and not be able to drink ;-P  I really, really want to do this reset, and if it means doing it on my birthday, so be it!  I'm so excited to share the journey with you all and to do this for myself as well. 

So summer is over, and so is my 60 Sweaty Days of Summer challenge, and MAN it was amazing!!  The girls really brought it home the last few weeks!!  I'll post some of the 60 day changes sometime this week on another blog post.  I've kept that private facebook page opened for them so we can all continue to keep each other updated on our progress.  Plus a few of the girls are doing ChaLEAN Extreme and that's actually a 90 day program, so I want to keep them motivated.....because the last 30 days of the program are amazing!!!  SOOOO what's next??  I'm doing the Fall into Fitness 60 day challenge starting on October 1st!  I have 2 spots left, so please get a hold of me if your interested in joining up!  I'll fill you in on the details and answer any questions you may have!  I think it's perfect timing with the holidays coming up.  Instead of gaining that 10 pounds, you'll pretty much stay even if you splurge or maybe even lose a few pounds!!  Plus we all know about the New Years resolutions that we all make.....to be healthy, toned, lose some weight ect ect.  LET ME HELP!!  Join this fitness challenge on the 1st of October and make working out a habit!!  Get that jump start before everyone else!

Lastly, I've wanted to share this with anyone who's been thinking about joining Beachbody as a coach.  If you have a passion for fitness, love reaching out and helping others with their goals, and also keep yourself motivated, this IS for you!!  I just want to say, so far this journey has been amazing.  I love to help people with their health and fitness visions, encourage people, and keep myself motivated.  Who knew that becoming a business owner was so much fun?  It's seriously one of the best decisions I've made, because not only have I connected with people I haven't talked to in a while, but I've also made so many new friends!  Just recently our 15 star diamond head coach in our group "Team Dynasty" did our weekly team call, and this one really hit home.  So take a listen if you've been thinking of joining as a coach, and if you have any questions, please let me know!!  Start on slide 13, you can go back and listen to the first 13 if you'd like Team Call.  If you are military or a military spouse all of the start up fees (honestly, they are not that much!) are waived.

Saddle Mountain, Fall into Fitness and Ultimate Reset

Hi everyone!! WOW, I haven't blogged in a little bit! Devin has the week off and I've been crazy busy with work and then just spending quality time with him before he leaves again. Yesterday we went hiking on Saddle Mountain, and it was beautiful, clear day, and I totally noticed the difference in my fitness level from the last time we hiked it, I even had a 10 pound backpack on the whole way.

I hope everyone had an amazing Labor day weekend!!  I know I did and what a beautiful weekend on the Oregon coast.  We ended our Saddle Mountain night with a romantic healthy BBQ at home, and a fire in our fire pit.  I just can't believe our 11 year anniversary is coming up in 6 days!  WOW!! 

 

I know I've talked a lot about the 60 Sweaty Summer challenge that's going on right now, and how the 7 girls started their journey of fitness and health on July 16th.....WELL guess what??  They have 10 days left!!!!  HOW FAST WAS THAT?? I'm opening up another private Facebook page for the 60 day "Fall into Fitness" challenge, I have a couple spots left so if anyone would like to join in, please let me know!!  I'm hoping to start up this next challenge group on September 10th (was suppose to be the 3rd, but I reopened it for a few more people)  If you're interested in the details please email me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com, message me on Facebook or post below!  I feel this is the perfect time to melt off those summer pounds that we sometimes gain from all the BBQ's and drinks and lazy days by the pool or beach.  ALSO an amazing way to get a head start on the holidays and your New Years Resolution!

 

 I've got a lot of stuff coming up in the next few months, and these weeks seem to be going by so fast......I'm heading into my second month of ChaLEAN Extreme and Brazil Butt Lift and it's been fun, I can't believe how much I love to work out now!  I have two runs coming up, the Kiss Me Dirty mud run on September 22nd and the Great Columbia Crossing 10K on September 30th.  I'm so excited!!!  On October 1st I'll be starting the Ultimate Reset, it's a 21 day body reset, and I'm super excited to share this journey with everyone!!  If any of you have been thinking about starting this, join me on October 1st, we can do it together, keep ourselves accountable!  After I do the 21 day Ultimate Reset, I'll be starting 90 days of Turbo Fire!!  I'm going to miss lifting heavy :-(  but once I'm done with Turbo Fire, I'll be starting the CLX/TF hybrid and I'll be happy lifting again!!  Also, I'll need to start training for the Shamrock 15K that's actually on Saint Patrick's day this coming year, and the BIG Portland Rock n Roll Half Marathon on May 19th!  The Shamrock will be a nice training platform to jump into the half training.

 

 

Anything exciting coming up for you? 

 

How was your summer?

 

Only 19 Days Left of the 60 Sweaty Days of Summer!

I started a 60 day challenge group on July 16th called the 60 Sweaty Days of Summer.  It's been so much fun, very motivational and extremely inspiring.  There are 7 amazing women, all have different shape, sizes and goals and they are really just kicking butt!!  I'm so happy to be following their journey as they change their mind set, and health.  It truly has been so much fun. 

The women in the group are all doing different workouts, 5 are doing ChaLean Extreme, 1 Turbo Fire, 1 Insanity.  Two of the girls also threw in some Brazil Butt Lift for good measure, and two are actually training for a Marathon as well!! WOW!!

I'm looking forward to the 60 day results, and also keeping the group open to cheer them on as they keep going.

So far, two of the women gave me permission to use their beautiful transformations, thank you Dani and Jill!!

A little bit about Dani:  Dani is a mother of beautiful twin girls, who I believe are 3 years old.  On top of her busy life as a mom, and a wife, and an amazing domestic goddess, Dani is training for an upcoming Marathon in October on top of doing ChaLEAN Extreme!!  This lady really knows how to stretch 24 hours, GO GIRL!!  Check out her witty and always funny blog Run Daniella Run!  During her 30 day challenge Dani has lost 7.5 inches and might I add, looked amazing in her before pictures....TWINS???  REALLY??

 

   











The second brave soul, is Jill, a mother of 3 awesome kiddos a military spouse and nothing gets her down, not her egg allergy or Type 1 diabetes.  She really is such a trooper, and look at those guns!!  You don't want to piss her off in a dark alley!  Jill has been getting up early 6 times a week to work out to Insanity and has completed her full 60 days and is doing another round!!  CRAZY (or Insanity....)!!  Jill is another domestic goddess that makes 24 hours into 30 hours somehow. Wish I knew her secret.......can't wait to see her results after her second round! 

 

 

Thank you Dani and Jill for letting me use your wonderful transformations so far!!  Stay tuned for more brave souls to follow, and also 60 and 90 days from these wonderful ladies.

 

 

 

The next challenge group "Fall into Fitness" will be another 60 day challenge and will start on September 3rd.  There are 2 or 3 spots left out of 5 and they are filling up, message below, or on Facebook for more details!  Let's get you the results you want and make your fitness goals a reality! 

 

Changed Shakeology Order Amounts, Derm Exclusive and More Challenge Chat!

I changed the order process for individual Shakeology packets.  Instead of doing one packet, I'm doing a 4, 7 and offering the cleanse as well due to popular demand!  The reason behind the change, is because I feel that you just CAN'T get the full and AMAZING benefits of Shakeology with just one try!  Now, granted, 4 days isn't going to cut it either, but it's a start for those pre and probiotics to start their magic!!  It took me about 1 week to know I was sticking with it, I started to feel less bloated, and had good energy, and it was an easy breakfast filled with vitimans and minerals for those early morning work days, and a great after workout drink if I just didn't want anything to eat, but just wanted something healthy besides water. My skin started to change by 3 weeks, no more breakouts!!!!  If anyone would like to place an order, just fill out the info on the side, let me know what flavor you'd like and feel free to mix and match!! 

I'm on day 3 of using the Derm Exclusive 30 day kit.  So far, so good!! No breakouts, which I was scared of, since I finally had my skin under control!  I usually know within 2 days whether or not my skin will freak out by a new product.  I was also a little worried about the oil factor on my skin, and so far, I'm actually not as shiny as I usually am during the day.  When I wipe my forehead I don't feel oil!!   Another plus, is that I really like the very light, citrus smell that it has, it's just a very light hint. Nothing overwhelming and it also soaks right into the skin!    I'm really liking this product, but it's only been 3 days, so I'll wait another 11 days to do my half way point evaluation.

 Just a little reminder....I will be starting a new challenge group, your choice of Beachbody workout.  The new group will start on Monday September 3rd and I have about 3-5 spots left out of 5-7!!  If you have a friend who wants to jump in on it, get them to sign up under my Beachbody link posted above!  It's free, and if you haven't joined then DO IT as well, just hit the orange JOIN button and fill out your information.  This will give you free membership to Beachbody's website so you can  build your profile, set your goals and schedule your workouts in the supergym and that'll give you a chance to win $500 dollars (just one of the many prizes) whenever you log your daily work out!  Then just let me know your interested in joining the September Challenge group by either posting below, message me on  Facebook, or Email me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com.  We'll chat about your WHY, because that's very important, and if you don't know what workout will work for you, we will find one that will fit with your schedule and your goals.  If your ready to make a change, and commit to a 60 day challenge group, please place your order by  August 27th!

Challenge Group, MY T-SHIRT!, and Derm Exclusive

Lots to blog about today!!!! This week has been rough, I got back from my amazing trip to see my amazing hubby in San Diego!!  My hubby lost almost 20 pounds in 2.5 months by cutting out most bad carbs and doing INSANITY!!! What's so rough about that??  Well, I'm sick, for the first time in a long time, I've got the worst cold/flu or what ever it is and it's knocked me down when my poor hubby just came home.  It's been an amazing weekend here on the Oregon coast, and I have spent the whole weekend inside just miserable!!  Today has been a little better though and I did end up getting a 4 day workout week in instead of my normal 5 or 6, so not too bad.  Just to update you all on my workouts...

I've been pluggin away, and am at day 104 today!  I can't believe 104 days have gone by, that seems like an awful long time, but when I look at the picture as a whole, it really went by super fast!  Especially when working out has become so much fun for me, instead of being a chore, like it use to be.  I know that Beachbody has done this for me.  Why you ask?  It's when I decided to become a coach, it made me more committed in getting results for not only myself, but results I could use to help other people see that when you decide, commit, you DO succeed!!  It's like this domino effect.  It  became about me, me getting healthy and back in shape.....then when I started my challenge group, it became about THEM!!  Their goals, their dreams,their health and so far, in the next few days, they'll have 30 days under their belts and it's truly amazing how far these 7 women have come!!  They say that I've inspired them....but these girls have  no idea how much they've inspired me and other people that will soon see their journey, just like they've seen mine!!  I'm starting a new Fall Challenge group on September 3rd, and right now I have about 3-5 spots left out of the 5-8 spots.  I say 3-5 because I want to keep the group small, BUT if you have a friend that would like to join with you, then we can easily add :-)  Facebook or message me below if you'd like more information!!

I got my Derm Exclusive 30 day trial pack the other day in the mail!  Hubby promptly brought it up to my sick self and I quickly took a picture for you all to see!!  I'm going to take face pictures on Monday and also start the product to see how much I like it!  SO a review will be happening in 30 days.  I ALSOOOO got my amazing Beachbody T-shirt in the mail for finishing ChaLEAN Extreme, I would have pictures of that as well, but it's actually being washed.....the hubby is a little too efficient at times ;-P

I'm also going to be doing some re-vamping of the individual Shakeology packets!  There is no way someone can even start to get the benefits of just one packet, so I'm going to do a 4 and 7 day packet price.  Also, I'm going to add a Shakeology Cleanse choice as well, with a free shaker!!  I'll post more about that when I get it all set up! 



Ending at 90 Days? Nope, It's Just the Beginning!!

I took my new measurements today and I'm down another .50 inches and half a pound I believe......I took the measurements to kick off my 9 week hybrid of ChaLEAN Extreme (this is the kit I got) and Brazil Butt Lift.  What is a hybrid you ask?  It's the combination of both workouts during the week.  I picked the two because I am in LOVE with lifting heavy, and also want to hyper focus on my thighs and back end, although if you do BBL by itself, it is a full body workout!  For those that like to dance, the cardio portion is for you!!

I'll be starting a new challenge group for the fall on September 3rd, if you'd like to get into it, please order by 8/27!  That'll give everyone time to save up for that workout program you've been wanting to try!  It'll be another 60 days, your choice of any Beachbody workouts!!  You can push the purple link to sign up for free on the site and take a look around.  If anyone has any questions, don't be shy!! JUST ASK!!  You can either FB me, type a comment below, or email me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com.  There will be a group of 5-7 depending on if you have any friends who are interested, send them my link, it's always fun to have a friend to challenge!! www.Beachbodycoach.com/Hunnieshadow.  This will fill up fast!  SO DON'T WAIT!  The Summer group is doing an amazing job and their first 30 day pictures are due at the end of THIS WEEK!!  WOW that really flew by, and these girls are sooo motivated!  They all thought, I can't do this, and were so scared to try to challenge themselves!  Don't let your mind hold you back!

So this week, I've got to take new pictures of my back end and thigh area, not looking forward to that at all!! There's still work that needs to be done.......because I want to look like this (look below)  Both Jamie and Rebecca (the girl that's running away) are both 5'2 so it's not really that crazy, right????  I'm 5'1. I know I won't get there in 9 weeks, BUT I'm thinking this next summer will be MY SUMMER on the beach, without having to suck it in, or plop down on the blanket in such a way that my stomach doesn't wiggle or do a weird fold.  Or my thighs don't do that pancake look when I relax them.  I know those goals sound a little vain, but I'm pretty sure we all have wants that may seem a little strange to others!!  My main goal is my health though, so if I never get that stomach or thighs of steel, but I'm healthy and happy and can button up my pants without a struggle or a muffin top ....then that's all that matters!!  But it's fun to look ahead and try to see what my body is capable of, because I would have never known it was capable of what I've reached in these last 90 days.

90 Days Came and Went......

Okay, so yeah.....I haven't posted my 90 day results yet, shame on me!!! BUT I had so much going on!  I got to surprise my hubby in San Diego and was there for 3 nights, and it was AMAZING!!!!  He actually lost about 17 pounds doing INSANITY while he was gone for about 2 months, kinda wish I took before and after pictures of him!!  He looked amazing, so we both went through a transformation!!

This 90 days with ChaLEAN Extreme was honestly the fastest 90 days ever!!  Not only was the workout amazing, I ACTUALLY saw results!!  I lost 12.75 inches in my body and I HAVE ABS and TONED ARMS!!  I still have a little work to do, but I have NEVER seen results like this in my body, and actually enjoyed sticking to a workout schedule.  The first month I really saw the inches melt off, but the second month, I started to tone up and see some ab definition, by the third month everything started to come together, and the weight came off a little more.  I only lost 1 or 2 pounds the first month, and the same with the 2nd, but all together I lost 6-7 pounds because I'm fluctuating between two numbers right now.  I didn't really have much to lose anyways, I mainly bought this program to tighten up my skinny fat body.  It was honestly some of the best money I ever spent!!!  Thank you Beachbody and a special shout out to Shakeology for being an amazing healthiest meal of the day!!  I either used it to replace my breakfast or lunch, or as a snack after a hard workout!  I also want to update that I've only gained back 1 of the 4 pounds that I lost during the cleanse.

I plan on doing a hybrid schedule of CXL and Brazil Butt Lift, and that should be a 9 week program or just a little over 2 months.  I'll be starting that on Monday with new pictures, and I'll post my schedule as well. 

SOOO here are the pictures I sent to Beachbody!!  I WANT MY T-SHIRT, and maybe even a shot at $1000 or more!  The measurements will be on My Progress link (or just push the purple writing).  It's been almost a week since my 90 days have been up, and I've actually toned up a little more since these pictures, even though I went on vaca and ate like crap and only ran one of those days!! 

If anyone would like more information or have any questions for me, you can e-mail me or write below (opened to anyone) or FB me!!
