My Why

After recently hitting a plateau with running, I knew I needed to add something more to my routine, but I was full of excuses as I am not one for change.   If only I would have spent as much time figuring out a new workout routine, as I did making excuses, I could have been one fit lady! :) Over the past year, I have seen many posts about the love for Shakeology, and I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.  As I was getting ready for my dreaded run, a friend of mine posted on Facebook about an upcoming Beachbody challenge of hers.  I immediately started to inquire, because I just had to know what all this hype was about.  After talking with her I excitedly joined the 21 Day Fix challenge, which in short is a commitment to eating clean (no problem as we pretty much do this already), exercising (excited for a new workout) and drinking Shakeology (hmmm).  I will admit I was very skeptical of this shake thing.  I am not a protein shake kind of girl.  I don't like all the ingredients in most of them, and I don't like the way they taste, but there is a reason everyone loves Shakeology, or at least I kept telling myself that. 

A few days later my 21 Day Fix challenge arrived in the mail. I quickly grabbed the blender and made a shake for my husband, and not as willingly our little boys.  I loved it!  My husband loved it!  And my boys loved it!  Phew!  After two days of drinking Shakeology and starting the 21 Day Fix challenge, I was sold! I felt awesome and my energy was great.  Even better, I somehow managed to rope my husband into doing the challenge with me and we both started seeing awesome results in just one week!

After doing the challenge for a couple weeks now and drinking Shakeology daily, I can honestly say I have never felt better!  My runs aren't as dreaded because I feel stronger due to my workout with Ms. Autumn and I have a ton more energy.  After falling head over heels for this product, I decided to become a Beachbody coach.  My husband was just as shocked as I was when I asked him for his blessing to do this whole coach thing.  I couldn't believe I was serious, and I don't think he could believe it either. Chris' response was, "I am excited because you are so excited."  The rest is history, I am now starting my first Beachbody challenge on April 7th and I couldn't be happier! 

So Shakeology. What is Shakeology? I get asked this question A LOT!  This delicious drink is gluten free, uses GMO free ingredients, all natural, and loaded with 70 of the healthiest superfoods.  One shake is equivalent to 6 salads, yes 6!  People drink it for many reasons.  It aids in weight loss, digestion, food cravings, and increases energy.  It is a protein drink that also serves as a balanced meal keeping you full and satisfied for about three hours.  Yes, it is simpy amazing!!!

I have also had a lot of inquiries about what a challenge consists of.  A challenge is a closed FB group led by a coach or coaches.  They can last for various durations depending on the challenge, but basically everyone is participating in daily exercise, drinking Shakeology and eating clean.  In this closed group (meaning no one else can see this on your facebook newsfeed) you will see inspirational posts, words of encouragement, clean eating recipes and other useful tools to help you along the way.  This is a positive experience, I want you to succeed!  My first challenge starts April 7^th, and I am so excited to help others get healthy!  Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in joining us or if you have any questions.  I truly believe everyone can get the results they are looking for if they work hard and believe in themselves!
