Procrastination and hard work

I am a professional procrastinator. I can put off just about everything until tomorrow, but I've realized that I get much better results (and feel more productive) when I just suck it up and do it. This can be with workouts, blogging, job hunting, meal prep, cleaning. Procrastination seriously only hurts yourself though! So from one hardcore procrastinator to another- here are the things that help me!

*Make a monthly and weekly to do list. 

*Every night before bed, make a to do list and schedule for the next day

*Break bigger tasks down into smaller details

*Follow the list!

I am such a list maker and crossing off things frequently really helps me. If I do things that are not on the list, I add them and then cross them off. I find that at the end of the week I have much more free time to spend it however I want to spend it. So think about what you have done for yourself today that will make your future better, what could you have done better? Ask yourself throughout the day if your activity will make your tomorrow better and adjust accordingly to meet your goals!

Why I require Shakeology for my Challenge Groups

I get this question just about every time I run a Challenge Group. Why is it that I require Shakeology?
Well, I believe in Shakeology and what it can do for you. It has been CLINICALLY PROVEN to help promote weight loss. There have been real actual clinical studies that have PROVED it. I want my challengers to have the BEST results, so guess what- I am going to make sure that they are doing everything that they can do to make sure that it happens.

I have found that the challengers that have committed to drinking Shakeology have actually pushed harder in their workouts and stayed engaged in the challenge groups longer. Now that is not a clinical study- but just something that I have personally found to be true in the Challenge Group culture.

Shakeology is also FULL of good for you ingredients that are REAL. No chemicals. It is something that I drink daily and feel good about fueling my body and I want others to have that feeling as well.

I KNOW Shakeology is not cheap. I fact Shakeology is the whole reason that I became a Beachbody coach. I was looking for a protein powder or a protein shake that was whey free and soy free that I could take while completing P90X. I found my coach Kati, signed up as a discount coach, and never looked back.

So there you have it. I require Shakeology for my Challenge Groups. I drink it, I stay on track- I want you all to as well :)

Personal Development

Today I just need to go ahead and share something with you all that is also important in meeting your weightloss or fitness goals. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. You somehow let yourself get away from your goals, and the track that your life was on. Or maybe you never even made it to the track you wanted your life to be on. Why is that? What happened?  That is what you need to look and and really change so that you can get your life back on track.

Really for most it comes down to self sabotaging. We know we need to change. Hell, everyone knows what it takes to lose weight but we do not always implement it. Is it because we truly believe that we don't deserve to be the versions of ourselves we want to be? Is it because we are afraid to fail? Whatever your reasons, the best way to get over them (like without professional help-totally seek that if you need it!) is personal development. I'm a big reader so for me that is books. Kindle books, actual books, library books, audio books- all great for me! They have truly helped take me "mentally" to where I need to be.

Big Goals

Have you ever had a big goal? Like a goal that was SO big you didn't know how you were going to accomplish it? I know I have. In fact right now, our big goal (as I am sure many of yours is) is to be debt free. I have literally SO much debt in student loans- not to mention my car loan or credit card debt. In the past my big goal was to lose 40 lbs. I am 30 lbs down and still working towards it. So how do you reach that big goal? ONE STEP AT A TIME. Every dollar paid off, every pound lost brings me closer and closer to that big goal. Brings me closer to that tiny speck of light at the end of the tunnel. So don't discount your big goals and your big dreams because you cannot see how you can possibly ever reach them. You can- it just will take some hard work, commitment, and TIME. So keep chipping away and chugging along my friends- you will get there!

Chasing the Dollar

In this business, a lot of people join trying to make money. However- if that is why you join- you will not be very successful int he long run. People are smart, and they will see what it is that you truly care about. You have to be in this business to help other people. Help other people get fit, lose weight, get healthy, fell better about themselves, gain confidence, and inspire those around them. When you stop trying to chase the dollar and instead be genuine and help people, you will find yourself in a much better place- both mentally and financially.
