If I Can Do It - So Can You

Getting Healthy - Easier With Help

Sometimes you just need someone to take you by the hand and say look if I can do it so can you.

Here's the thing. I am a smart woman. I graduated with honors from college. I landed a great job right away and I'd like to think that I do a hell of a job running my household. (Sounds too good to be true huh?) But you want to know something, even though I was a smart and successful woman I didn't have a clue where to start when it came to getting healthy.

I was alway thin thanks to good genetics but after having my son, I didn't feel so healthy after all anymore. I found myself living off of lattes at Starbucks and binging on junk food and sweets.

I was the queen of SNACKING. I could eat a full bag of chips in one sitting and not even think twice. Portion control did not exist to me. 

To this day I still cannot order any kind of latte from Starbucks because I drank WAY too many of them. My typical morning stop after dropping my little guy off at daycare was a grande white chocolate mocha with some kind of pastry to go along with it. More sugar and carbs than I should have been consuming in an entire day. Sure it got me going for the day but boy did I ever crash come 10:00 am.

I felt awful and I didn't know how to feel better. I knew a lot of it was going to lie in cleaning up my eating habits and it also meant I was somehow going to have to exercise. Trust me I looked up every "clean eating" and "how to lose the mom belly" pin on Pinterest. I bought Insanity from an infomercial on TV. I tried to do it on my own but the thing was I actually didn't know how. I failed. Each week I said I was "starting fresh" and by Wednesday I had usually already thrown in the towel for the week.

As smart as I was I truly didn't know where or how to start. It wasn't until I bit the bullet and decided to stop watching my friend who was a coach and finally join her. I needed her more than I realized. I needed help sticking to the workouts, I needed someone to tell me what to throw away in our pantry, I needed her to teach me how to meal plan and prep and most importantly I needed someone who wouldn't let me quit.

I went all in. I bought the challenge pack (at a desperate hour of the day might I add). I told myself I was doing this. I drank Shakeology even though I was terrified of how it would taste, I showed up for those 30 days. I learned to meal plan and prep and I FINISHED the program I bought and damn it, did it ever feel good not to quit.

One of the things that I am most proud of is how my habits began to wear off on my family. Trust me our cart at the grocery store didn't always look like this. It's taken lots of learning to get to where I am today. 

It took me a few go arounds in the challenge group to truly get it down. I wish I could tell you that this healthy lifestyle was easy and happened overnight. The truth is it didn't but I can tell you that with the right support it's not as far out of reach as you think.

Starting on Monday October 24th I will be opening up spots in my challenge group for women who WANT to be healthier but need a little bit of help getting there. I am looking for people who were in the same boat as I was. I want to show you that it can be different and I want to show you how I did it.

Please fill out the application below if you would like to be considered as one of my challengers for October.

Diamond Retreat Weekend Recap

Beachbody Coach Life... Why does it always look so fun? 

To answer my question about coach life and why it always seems so fun... well because it actually is. True story. I get to make my living by working out, helping other people feel great about themselves and build a business all while surrounding myself with incredible people. Oh and we travel ALL the time. It's a job that never actually feels like a J.O.B.

This past weekend my success partner and I teamed up to treat our diamond coaches (aka our rock stars) to an incredible weekend to celebrate all of their hard work. I cannot tell you how much of a blessing it is to be able to "treat" them like we did this past weekend. A few years ago doing things like this would have been way out of the budget.

We rented a house for them in Deep Creek, MD. It was very large and beautiful providing us with lots of space to kick back and relax. Everyone arrived Friday evening. We had posters of themselves along with a retreat shirt with our theme of "blessed" screen printed across the chest and also a new inspirational mug and a year subscription to SHAPE magazine waiting for them all on the table upon arriving at the house. They were excited about the little treat waiting there to welcome them.

We had a nice big lasagna dinner that night and did some ice breaker activities along with some good old fashion bonding. Even though we work on our phones all the time and live our life out loud on social media, we spent most of that evening unplugged simply getting to know one another better. It felt good to not have our phones in our hands all night.

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early for a team workout. One of our coaches Michelle is a Beachbody LIVE instructor so she lead us thru a Country Heat Workout. After that we enjoyed a hearty breakfast then helped get each other ready for the photo shoot. It was fun to help everyone pick out outfits and help do each others hair.

Before and Afters ;)  - Just call me the beauty team that morning

Our photo shoot lasted until early afternoon. We shoot inside and outside and got lots of great images for us to use for our business. Once the photographer left we had a healthy lunch cooked on the grill.

AHHH!!! Our not so wanted guest at the photo shoot. Man did we scream like a bunch of girls when this guy came out to visit us.

Then we packed up and headed over to the lake. We had rented a boat for the day because after all the retreat can't be all work with no play. The weather was so so but the rain managed to hold off until the end. It give us enough time to get some tubing in too.

Off to go boating

Once we got home piled into the hot tub that our house had and sipped on some tasty margaritas that I made before we went upstairs to feast on our taco and ice cream sundae bar that we planned for the night. We might drink Shakeology on most days but sometimes you have to cheat a little on your meal plan.

Cheers to hard work and big goals! 

Once dinner settled we spent quite some time working on our vision boards. What is a vision board? It's a goal board where you write out your goals that you have set for yourself for the next year. Not all of the goals have to be business goals some can be personal too. It was a great bonding event to sit around the table with these other women and listen to the vision they are creating for their futures. It's powerful when you can surround yourself with the "dreamers" in life

Crafting our dream boards

After the vision boards were done we wrapped up the night sitting on the couches watching movies and doing a little bit of work from our phones and laptops.

The weekend came to a close on Sunday morning. We had one last healthy meal together before we packed up and all headed back to our separate worlds.

Curious About Beachbody Coaching?

WANT TO LIVE LIFE BY DESIGN? 

If you follow me on social media, I know you see all of my posts about my coaching business and how this “blessing” has changed our world and you hear me gushing about it ALL. THE. TIME. You want to know why you hear me talking about it ALL.THE.TIME. because I absolutely love it. I love who I have become because of it, I love what it has done for my family, I love the friendships I’ve made and I love what our company stands for. It’s no wonder I talk about it all the time. How could I not.

Because of this opportunity I lost all my baby weight, I have been able to travel the world, it has gotten me one step closer to financial freedom and allowed me to “retire” from teaching at 29. What does that mean for me? More freedom. Freedom of time, freedom of finances, freedom to do whatever I want with my life and that my friend feels pretty damn good.

This coming fall instead of going back to work like all my other teacher friends, I will be working from home in my yoga pants. My son will be staying home with me part time instead of being in daycare (something I have NEVER been able to do) and life will be a lot less stressful. You see I got sick of the rushing and running and always feeling like I was fighting an uphill battle as a working mom. I was exhausted and quite honestly I was over it. I wanted to provide for my family but I wanted to do it in a different way. One that was less stressful and allowed for more time with my loved ones.

Coaching has allowed me to do just that. I have been able to build a business after bedtime while juggling the full time job. It took me a few years but I finally matched what I was making at my day job all by helping others get healthy and build their own business. This job isn’t about being a salesperson. It’s about caring about people, getting to know them and holding them accountable. I get to teach people how to feel confident in themselves again and be better than they were before. That’s a powerful thing to be able to pay forward to others.

If you have been following my journey and are curious  about the coaching opportunity, I invite you to join me for a live event on Wednesday May 25, 2016 from 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm Eastern Standard time.  We will share conversations about coaching. There is no commitment if you join us. It’s just informational. I will answer some of the most commonly asked questions I get asked. It will give you a taste of why I love this so much. You never will know if it’s for you if you don’t try. You can access the event by clicking here.

In the event that you do decide to join me as the next new ROCK STAR on the team, I will be kicking off your business training on Monday June 6th so this is your time to decide if it’s right for you.
Who knows maybe you can turn your little social media addiction into a business for yourself and get a little healthier and happier along the way!

It Starts With One

By My Side From The Beginning 

When I started my crazy journey to be a coach two short years ago I remember when I announced that I was going to begin to create a growing team and turn this hobby into a bit of a business and I was looking for others to join me. I announced that on a Saturday morning. By mid day Lindsay had messaged me asking for details. VERY shortly after that she jumped all in and was my first official coach. She spent most of her first year as a challenger/ discount coach before she went all in with the opportunity. She mostly just wanted the discount on her Shakeology when it all started and she dabbled a bit in the business. That was until last year when she put her foot on the gas and let her business take off. She is one of my top coaches now and also one of my diamond coaches. Which in the Beachbody world is a really big thing. 

She is probably one of the most busy coaches I have on my team. She is a full time teacher and she also bartends on nights and weekends. She lives off of little sleep and some how still makes time for her business and all of the other hats she wears in her life. Her work ethic is phenomenal. If you want something done ask Lindsay. If you want to learn now to make this work while balancing many other things, again ask Lindsay to teach you. She has this business down. She works her business at all hours of the day and night. I just don't know how she does it all. 

What has been really cool to watch with Lindsay is to see her begin to grow her own team of coaches who are just like her. Since she went diamond this past fall she transitioned away from being a coach to being a strong team leader who was able to duplicate her own success to others. It's a beautiful thing to get to stand back and watch. 

Lindsay & Cheryl = Success Partners. These two are a power team and have formed quite the friendship along the way. 

A few things that I think has added to her success as a coach is that she never misses her goals for helping others each month. She commits to help at least 3 - 5 people no matter what. She also attends Beachbody corporate events. She traveled with me this past summer to our SUMMIT training in Nashville, TN. In addition she also attends all of the local Super Saturday events that are held each quarter. She seems the value in attending events and makes it happen. When she does those things, I watch her move forward one step closer to the big goals she has set for herself. 

As she gets ready to take on year three of her business, I can only imagine what is in store for her. They say when you start to coach you need to "be here in a year." Well she made it way beyond her year. She's thru the hardest phases that a new coach might experiences. It's an uphill ride from here my dear. 

Thanks for deciding to stand beside me from the beginning and being the first to join my crazy train. I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else. Proud of you and all the heart you put into this.

Success Club Trip 2016 - How Does That Work?

All Aboard The S.S. Beachbody

If you follow me on social media, I am sure you saw that I was "out of the office" last week. I was on the 2016 Team Beachbody Success Club Trip. Beachbody chartered the Oasis Of The Sea for 5 days and traveled to Nassau Bahamas and also Falmouth Jamaica as a reward to all of the coaches for our hard work. I got a lot of messages asking me how does one go about earning a free trip for you and your HUBBY. Everyone seemed to be thinking it was almost too good to be true. Here's the thing. It isn't too good to be true. It's the real deal. This company treats us well.

So how did I earn it? I simply helped 3 - 5 people get on track with their health each month last year. I ran challenge groups and supported them with the programs that they picked until they got to the goals they were wanting to accomplish. I also helped to grow a team and duplicate the success that I was having with the company. Sounds pretty simple right? It really was that easy. I did it will balancing a full time job, motherhood, grad school and married life. In coaching I was able to find my passion. When you find your passion it never feels like a day of work.

I was lucky enough to have been able to go last year as well. They rented out an all inclusive resort in Mexico. Since I went last year I knew this year would be just as great. As anticipated, it was!

Here are a few of the things we got to enjoy:

*Live workouts on the top of the ship deck each morning with trainers like Autumn Calabrese (creator of the 21 Day Fix), Tony Horton (famous for many of his programs - P90X, Hard Corps, ETC), Joel and Jericho (Les Mills Body Pump), and Sagi (creator of the Body Beast program).

Always having too much fun together! 

*A daily Shakeology bar served poolside so we didn't have to go without our superfoods.

*Live meet and greets and parties with the corporate team and other top coaches.

*A chance to hear our CEO speak about what is up and coming next for our brand.

*Motivation from the top 10 coaches in the network with times to build our business and move forward.

* Time to simply relax and celebrate all of our accomplishments as coaches

One of the beautiful beaches we spent time relaxing on

* A week away with coaches who have turned into family. The relationships we have been lucky enough to form are beyond special. We all share a very special bond. It's nice to be together with all of them.

The sisterhood that comes with coaching - nobody mentioned this part to me when I purchased my challenge pack two short years ago. Love our bond! 

The week was not only refreshing it also was fun. There was plenty of down time for us to just "be" and enjoy the vacation. My husband and I were so thankful for the opportunity to be away together to celebrate all that Beachbody has done for our family. It has blessed us in so many ways and will continue to as I grow my business even more in the coming year.

My husband climbing the rock wall. The cruise was filled with lots of fun things to do. 

We spent time laying out, enjoying many four course meals and snacks. We slept in, we worked out together and we shopped. Two of the days we got to get off of the boat to do excursions. The first day we were in the Bahamas and we decided to go to Cabbage Beach. We took a crazy cab ride over and spent the day with friends on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.

Two days later we took an hour long bus ride over to Ochos Rios to climb the Dunns River Falls. We were a bit nervous to climb a 600 ft waterfall in the middle of the rainforest but it seemed too beautiful to pass up. One of my best friends in the business and her husband came along with us. After the climb we were given the VIP treatment at a private beach club.

These are the falls that we got to climb in Jamaica. 

We had perfect weather. High 80's everyday. Not a cloud in the sky or a raindrop. It felt great to escape to weather like that during the middle of March. It's cold here in PA so getting away was just what we needed until it begins to feel like spring here.

Thanks for taking the time to read about my trip. If you are intrigued about the opportunity, even a little bit I encourage you to fill out the application below to be considered for the coaching opportunity on my team.

I will have a training coming up and would love to include you in that. I also will have a live online open house event about coaching on Wednesday March 30, 2016. You can join that event by clicking here. When I joined I promised myself I would make something of this NO. MATTER.WHAT. I was determined to make it work so I did and you know what, you really can too. I would love to teach you how and include you on my growing team.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KRISTI!!!

Surviving Year One With A Network Marketing Company 

Over the last two years I have worked to build a team of coaches who I think would be very successful at the business and who would fit in with our "tribe" that we are creating. When I see someone who I think would make a great coach on our team, I often am persistent with them about considering. Sometimes they tell me no. I do not let that stop me and  I continue to invite them. When I see potential I refuse to pass it up. I saw that in Kristi as soon as we began to interact. She worked at the local YMCA and had a degree in Kinesiology. She had dream coach written all over her. She wanted to be a challenger with me, but more than anything I wanted her to be a coach.

A comparison chart she made her then vs. her now. Lots of changes in a year!!! 

To be honest - I almost lost her to someone else but she is one I "fought for" Not something I usually do, but I knew this women needed to be on Team Fit & Fabulous. After lots of conversations and a few objections I landed a dream coach. It is hard to believe that was a year ago. Time sure does fly when your having fun and building an awesome team.

Some of the things that I am most proud of about what Kristi has accomplished this year is that she became confident enough to chase her big dreams she set for herself. She wanted so badly to be a Beachbody Live instructor and down the road would like to be a master trainer for the company. She put in the work and did the trainings and now teaches PIYO and CIZE live. She also had the opportunity to be picked to dance on stage at our last Super Saturday corporate training event in Pittsburgh. She was up there with one of Beachbody's top master trainers and sure made our team proud. You can catch her at the State College YMCA teaching if you ever want to meet her! She hosts a killer class.

Rocking it up on stage at the event! 

The dancing crew with Master Trainer - Kam!

In addition, she has traveled with me to many corporate events this year and also spent a lot of time with the team for our various events and outings. What I can tell you about her is that she has found her passion and knows how to have fun. She lights up the room when she is in it. We love her free spirit. I was lucky enough to travel with her to Nashville this summer for our Coach summit event too. When I look at a coach who is "showing up" like she is, meaning that she's involved in trainings and actively working her business, I know she is not going anywhere. She has officially done what many never can say they have done when working for a network marketing company. She made it thru year one. It is the hardest year and it's when most throw in the towel and quit. She never did.

Being a part of the top team in the network sure does have it's perks! Dressed up at the Dream Team Live Party! Spending time with Melanie Mitro - The top coach in the network! 

Girlfriend congratulations on year one of pursuing big dreams. Anxious and excited for you and what this opportunity is going to bring for you! Keep working hard and inspiring others! Team Fit & Fabulous loves you to pieces!!!
XOXOXO

Build A Business After Bedtime

Teaching Busy Women How To Build A Business 

Today I want to paint a little picture for you. It is a picture of how I got started being a Beachbody coach. I joined as a challenger, like most coaches do. I was a busy mom who wanted to get rid of a little bit of baby weight. Nothing drastic. More than anything I wanted to learn how to take care of me again. To make mom a priority and matter a little more than she had been at that time. I was busy balancing a full time teaching job, I was taking graduate classes for my master degree to be a principal, I had a two year old, a household to take care of and a husband who traveled for work very often. Momma was putting everyone first but herself. I knew it was finally "time." I hit my rock bottom moment the night of my son's second birthday party and I ordered my challenge pack the next morning. I wanted to change more than I wanted to stay the same so I went "all in." I started with the 21 day fix. I got awesome results and begin quickly telling everyone about it. Not because I was a coach at that point, simply because it really did work and really did make me feel better. I guess you could say I wanted to share the love. My coach noticed my sharing and planted the seed about becoming a coach myself. In my head I was laughing at her thinking yeah right, do you know how crazy my life is. I could never have time for something like this. But something inside of me whispered girl don't pass this up. You could be good at this.

So I slept on it for a few nights, did my homework on this "company" and this "business" and started to think it might be something I could do. You see I told you in the paragraph above that I was a teacher but I didn't tell you what kind.... I was a business teacher working towards a masters in leadership. That combo together seemed like a dynamite coaching formula. I loved business and I loved leading and helping others so I finally said WHY NOT. From day one though I decided if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it well. My only issue was, it was not my full time job and I only had "a few hours" a week that I could commit to growing the opportunity. What that meant was that I was going to have to learn to get good at multi-tasking and making lots of things happen in short periods of time. The good news is I was already a busy working mom. I had that mulit-tasking thing down. I just had a lot to learn about the business. I treated year one like an internship and observed as much as I possibly could.

I quickly began to learn the ropes and started to look forward to my evening hours of my second job. It felt weird to say "my second job" because in reality I didn't need a second job. I had a great one and so did my husband. We were living comfortably in a beautiful town and a brand new house we had just built. We were not struggling to pay bills or put groceries on the table but we were not ROLLING IN IT either. I was a teacher, making teachers pay. I was comfortable but didn't have much room for fun spending. To be honest, it wasn't the money I was chasing. Honestly it was just the new adventure that I seemed to be falling in love with. I suddenly had all of this passion that I never knew I was missing. The excitement of starting and growing something that was "mine" and that something happened to be rewarding me financially very well suddenly lit me up like a fire. 

It did not come without a hell of a lot of hard work.  I have worked to learn to get healthier and more fit and I have worked to learn not just how to run a business, but to lead a team and teach them how to duplicate my success. This business of mine was built around nap times, bedtimes and early dates with my alarm clock before I headed off to my teaching job. It took sacrifice and a love for what I was doing. But I am standing on the other side of success telling you it tastes pretty sweet and was worth all the sleepless nights I put in to get where I am today. 

Some question why I would want to be a coach but the reality is, I am a teacher. I always have been and I always will be no matter where my career takes me. My classroom looks different now, but I am still teaching. I love showing others how to do something. It is an amazing feeling teaching my challengers how to live a different life and make themselves a priority and I love teaching my team of coaches how to build their own little empire. That is what makes my heart full. I believe that life is too short to spend it not doing something you love, so if you have not found what it is that makes you shine then you should keep looking. It's out there and it's worth chasing.

If you are reading this and have been considering becoming one of my challengers or a coach on my team please reach out to me. I am about to begin two new training groups in February and would love to have you in my "class." One  of the groups would be to teach you how to run a business and one to teach you how to get healthy and fit. Pick your pair of shoes you want to wear, I can teach you how to run with this in either pair.

When You Start To Realize You Must Be Doing Something Right

January Super Saturday Weekend 

Photo Op from last year's big Super Saturday event. 

A year ago I set out to travel to Pittsburgh to attend my first "big" Beachbody event. I went alone. No team of coaches with me, just my supportive husband. The CEO attended flew in from California. Autumn Calabrese the creator of the 21 day fix was there to lead a live workout. Melanie Mitro was named top coach for 2015 and there were over 1,000 people there who had the passion for this company just like I did. I spent the weekend attending trainings, working out and networking with some of the finest coaches in the network. Being a part of the number one team in the company sure has it's perks that for sure. It was one of my favorite weekends of the year but I longed for the day when I would have a team join me at the event. You see in this business it often starts with one before you grow your own team to lead. Friday night my team of coaches will be heading to Pittsburgh to join me for a weekend of excitement. Our team has gotten much much bigger in one years time and while NOT nearly everyone is able to come, I am proud to say that over 20 people will be joining me in the burgh. That's why I am looking forward to this event more than anything. I absolutely love spending time with this group of people.

A few goodies for my coaches! Looking forward to spoiling them this weekend!

So I am sure you are wondering what the heck will we be doing all weekend? Having too much fun and learning how to move our business forward in 2016 is the simple answer.
Friday night we will have a corporate training with the CEO, recognize many accomplishments from the team for 2015 and then finish with a late night workout with one of Beachbody's master trainers and also Autumn Calabrese creator of the 21 day fix. What a way to spend a Friday night!

Saturday morning will be filled with lots of trainings from some of our top coaches on the team. I have some exciting news that I have to share. I was actually asked to BE ONE OF THE TRAINERS!!! I will be taking the stage to share some of my business tips I have learned along the way. I really am looking forward to being up on stage teaching everyone. It turns out my training as a business teacher paired with my masters training in leadership makes for one heck of a Beachbody business owner. My passion for teaching business to others is still at the heart of what I love to do. While my stage might look different, it still feels like a classroom to me. 

Just to be included in such a line up is a huge deal to me! Out of 400,000+ coaches in the entire network two of these ladies are in the top 10! So many amazing business women speaking! 

Saturday afternoon will be spent with some of my coaches on the team! We have celebration lunches and dinners planned along with a big fancy cocktail party Saturday night with karaoke and dancing. I am so looking forward to getting dressed up and having fun with "my tribe." There is nothing more fun than spending time with others who "get it" and have the same passion as you do! 

Stay tuned for lots of pictures and a recap! Should be a blast! 

Thinking of joining my tribe? I would love to mentor you but only if your willing to be bold and put your heart into this business.  Boldness is a choice we are all presented with, a state of mind, a way of being. If you don’t try, you won’t succeed. If you don’t shoot, you’ll never score. This life is too short for you to waste it wondering, “What if?” We all have it in us, even you, my dear, whether you know it or not. So why not try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Be Here In A Year.... Be Here In A Year.... Be Here In A Year....

Happy Anniversary Cheryl

Be here in a year is a line that all of my coaches hear me say over and over and over again when they join this business. I tell them they have to treat this first year like an internship. They have to be willing to learn and grown and learn to duplicate the success that others have had. Making it a year with a multi-level marketing company means your the real deal. You have learned to weather the storm and the hardships that come along with learning to start your own business. The first year is not glamourous. It's hard and not everyone makes it to their one year anniversary mark but today one of my coaches Cheryl has achieved this big milestone. Let me tell you a little bit about her and how we got connected.

A year ago I met Cheryl. Funny little story about how we met. Her son was in my supply chain class last year when I taught business. I don't add parents of my students on social media. I try my best to keep my Beachbody business and my education work separate. A got a friend request from my students mom. When I mentioned it to him in class he sort of laughed and said go ahead and add her. She's actually interested in what you do as a coach with Beachbody. I went ahead and added her as a friend and started to strike up a conversation with her only to discover she was ready to GO ALL IN.

Within two days of meeting her Cheryl was signed up not just as a customer ready to get her own transformation, but as a coach ready to help inspire others. When I say she went "all in from the start" I really am not kidding. Since she signed she stepped in and became one of the top coaches on my team from week one. Her passion for coaching shines so bright it's contagious. Not only has she been a top success club achieving coach, but she also was the first coach I had on our team that rank advanced to diamond. (Which in our world is a HUGE business accomplishment.) She even earned a free ticket to our coach event this summer in Nashville because of her early success as a coach.

A few of our team mates at their first Super Saturday event. 

Our friendship has really grown over the last year. We have traveled to Pittsburgh together for several corporate events, but we also went to Nashville together for the coach Summit in July. It was fun to spend so much time together and get to know one another. She has one of the best personalities I have ever came across. She is so positive and fun to be around. Such a fun free spirit but also a driven leader. It's a heck of a combination.

This is Cheryl with Lindsay her Success Club Partner. I love the bond the too have. Truly great friends because of Beachbody. 

I wanted to share with you her accomplishment and also allow her to share a bit about her coaching journey and what it has looked like along the way. If your following her on social media, my advice is to keep watching. Even bigger things are on the horizon for her in the coming year. Dream big my dear, dream big!!

Love hearing what the opportunity has done for Cheryl. Take a look at her recap of year one in the business. 

Last December, I was not happy with the way I looked or felt. I was eating junk food, and not exercising consistently. I needed a jumpstart….and I needed accountability. I had been watching Sarah on social media and her journey to a healthier lifestyle- so I wanted in…ALL IN I am truly a free spirit and a “Go Big or Go Home” kind of a girl, so it came as no surprise to my family or friends when I said, “Oh, by the way I am going to do the 21 Day Fix Challenge”, and I am also going to be a coach and launch my own business. That is the way I roll!Being a Beachbody Coach is the greatest gift I have ever given myself, my family, my students, and my challengers. I am a new person now- physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a “teacher at heart”, I have a true passion for helping others in a fun and meaningful way, so I love being a mentor to my challengers and coaches. I have had amazing success my first year in the business, and I can’t wait to “Rock it out again in 2016”.
