So here I am doing my best and forgetting the rest and I realized at some point that it felt so incredibly good to be working out and being active every day (I had more energy, more focus, more excitement, stress was gone, and I just felt good), that I didnt want it to just be a 90 day thing. That’s when I decided it wouldnt be a destination. It wouldnt be I wanted to lose 90 pounds. It would be I wanted to LIVE this way.

It went from working out in the house and getting used to being active, to becoming a coach, then starting  a fitness group. Making all sorts of new friends and running races with different people. Working out with friends. Just on and on. I’ve developed such amazing friendships, have seen amazing transformation stories, have helped people, gotten an amazing thank you card, and the list goes on and on.

I look back and can say without a doubt that it’s been the journey that is what really counted and not just the goal of getting fit.

That’s probably one of the top things I hope to inspire in other people. Have fun, enjoy the journey, and love yourself and who you are becoming!

Anyway, it seems every year I am writing about New Years. I guess because it’s such a big time of year. As a Beachbody Coach my biggest time of year for new clients starts with New Years Day. I pick up probably around 100 new clients, and then they slowly start weeding themselves out for one reason or another, and it’s part of my job to help them fight those reasons.

So here we go, New Years tips, for any time of the year.

Don’t give up: People set new years resolutions. They make these solemn vows that they are going to get fit (or whatever else it may be) and then after the first chocolate donut the following morning they give in and say they messed it all up and well that’s the end of it until next year. But that is simply ridiculous and honestly just falls under actually not truly wanting the goal.

Take a fighter for instance, since that is what it is, a fight. A fighter steps in to the ring with a goal of winning the match. He knows he is going to take some hits, he knows he may be knocked down, but he knows he is not going to give up.

If you have a chocolate donut, even if it has sprinkles. Even if you have 10. After you realize that it isn’t helping you towards your goals, recognize, reconfirm, and get back on track. The worst thing you can do is to give up. Once you give up you have truly lost the fight. Cut yourself some slack, you arent perfect. It takes a while to learn how to do things right.

Focus: It’s very easy to lose focus. So try to stay focused. Focus and motivation are very similar in that you have an active role in it. You have a part to play, if you let yourself be blown around by the wind then you will end up where the wind wants to take you, not where you want to go. So do what you have to do to stay focused. Whether it is putting pictures up, writing your goals down places you will see them, or setting an alarm on your phone that goes off once a day and says “Hey, remember you want to do this”.

Check Your Map: If you have a destination that you are going to, whether it be driving, flying, weight loss, or fitness, you need to check where you’re heading. You go to work every day. You know how to get there. It’s something you do daily. But let’s say you are going somewhere new that you’ve never been before. You need to figure out how to get there, and be checking along the way to make sure you haven’t strayed 1000 miles of course. Weight loss and fitness is the same way. If you’re not monitoring where you’re going, you’ll find you should have made a left turn at Albuquerque

Have fun: Enjoy the journey, that is what it’s all about. Love yourself through it. Become better tomorrow than you were today and just have fun.

Have a great year everyone!

Now is the time to start a Beachbody coach business. There is a lot of help from the Beachbody company, as they supply advisers and mentors to help new coaches with selling the products. Considering how many people wan to lose weight, there is a lot of money to be made by those who run their own fitness business.

This diet is basically all about mixing and matching foods to your heart’s content so long as the total calorie consumption is within an acceptable range. Losing weight is a long-term process that takes a lot of efforts and determination. Once you have reached your desired weight loss goal, it is time to start thinking about how to maintain that weight in the long run. The low-glycemin diet is one of the most effective diet plans to help you lose weight and maintain your new weight in the future.

Most people following the low-glycemin diet use the Glycemic-Index (GI) to calculate how much carbohydrates they take in daily. The Glycemic-Index is an index used to rate carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100. Foods with ratings from 56 to 60 are fine for people on a low-glycemin diet.

Breakfast

Stay away from ready-made breakfast cereals since they score high on the GI scale. Instead you should use whole wheat toast, soy milk, yogurt, eggs and lean meat for breakfast. Fruits such as apples, oranges, cherries, kiwi, grapefruit, peaches, pears and strawberries are also low-glycemic fruits.

Lunch

Salads should be your perfect choice in a low-glycemin diet. Usually most natural vegetables are low-glycemic, such as mushroom, tomato, lettuce and carrots. To add protein to the meal, you could use cooked lentils, lean meat, tofu, eggs, skinless chicken, salmon and beans. If you want to have a sandwich, make your sandwich with whole grain breads. You could also cook tomato, beans and lentils together with eff noodles to make a low-glycemic and delicious soup.

Dinner

For dinner, you could use lean meat, seafood, whole wheat spaghetti, brown rice, yams together with vegetables such as green beans, carrots, broccoli, and eggplant to make delicious meals. Remember to eat a lot of vegetables, nuts and whole grains.

Snacks

You could have several snacks during the day. Fresh fruit is a good choice for snacks. Several snacks during the day will help normalize your blood sugar level and keep you healthy.

Above is a list of foods you could use in a low-glycemin diet. Make sure you eat a lot of natural foods and stay away from highly processed and refined foods. If you can keep a well-balanced diet and exercise regularly, you will have a sexy slim physical body and a healthy mind.

If you are at the beginning of the Max Interval Plyo program, you have been through the first month of the training.

This work out program is not for everyone. You need to be strong enough to endure the intense training that it put you through. However, if you feel like you are too weak for it, you could consult a Beachbody Coach to help you complete the program at a suitable pace. To be able to complete the program, you will need certain athletic equipment, a pair of sneakers, a sweat towel and a bottle of clean and fresh water.
