T25 Summer Slim Down Challenge Group and Results

The first book I ever read as a child was "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!" by Dr. Seuss. Of course, I didn't actually read it at the ripe age of 3. I had it memorized.

As I was preparing to write this blog post, a certain line from the book kept creeping into my mind:

The time has come

The time is now

Marvin K. Mooney

Will you please go now?

Why did that part of the book stick with me so much right now? Well, that's easy. It's because...

THE TIME HAS COME.

THE TIME IS NOW.

THE WINTER WEIGHT

MUST GO NOW!

It's officially Spring folks! The birds are chirping. Our yards are MUDDY! Flowers are emerging. Heck, we even heard peepers  in the pond the other night! 

With Spring also comes fears for a lot of people. Will my clothes from last year fit? What about bathing suits? I've eaten too much - I'm not ready for Spring!

We've all been there - right? Heck - I'm there right now!

So - Let's DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Let's make a change and let's do it TOGETHER!

Starting on April 21st, I am going to be running a Summer Slim Down Challenge group. We start on April 21st and end on June 22nd - just in time for SUMMER! We are all going to work out to one program - Focus T25. It has helped SO many people get their bodies back! WHY NOT YOU TOO?

I mean - check out these results! These ladies are MY CHALLENGERS!!! All they did was follow the program, drink shakeology daily, eat clean, and check in daily with our Facebook group! I promise - it's not rocket science! 

Meet Jen - aren't her results PHENOMINAL???

How about Wendy - HOLY MOLY WOMAN! 

So - what's the deal? How do you get results like this?

Step 1 - Sign up for a free account with ME as your coach. bit.ly/freecoachkelly

Step 2 - Fill out the application to be in the challenge group. bit.ly/groupapplication

Step 3 - Find me on Facebook and friend request me. bit.ly/klevere

Here's the scoop about the group:

To participate, you must purchase the T25 Challenge Pack, which includes your program AND a month supply of Shakeology. Lucky for you - it's on sale for the month of April 2014. It's like getting a bag of Shakeology for $60! That's cheaper than I can buy it as a coach!

Then, you are committing to replace one meal a day with shakeology for the ENTIRE 10 weeks. I know, I know. Some people are very hesitant to commit to drinking a SHAKE for 10 weeks. What if it tastes bad? What if it doesn't fill me up? What if What if What if???

Good thing for you that Shakeology is unlike ANYTHING out there. It's the perfect protein to carb ratio so it will fill you up for a good 2.5 - 3 hours, more depending on what you add to it. It's also FULL of dense nutrition. It's made from 70+ WHOLE FOODS from around the world. There's nothing artificial. It's all good, wholesome food!

Best part - Shakeology tastes AMAZING! And it comes in a bunch of different flavors - Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Greenberry, Vegan Chocolate, and Vegan Tropical Strawberry! Most people like to get the Triple Combo Pack to start off with so they can sample the Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry. Then they usually switch to a bag of whatever flavor they choose!

Also, you get ME as your coach! I will help to motivate you. I will keep you accountable. I will post little assignments to keep you engaged. You will find lifelong friends in your fellow challengers. I will post tips, tricks, recipes, and meal plans. You get the whole shebang!

We post all of this in a closed Facebook group. No one can see what's in the group and no one ever will without your permission. That means you can post your before pics (if you want) without fear of them leaking out or being ridiculed! In the group you will find your biggest supporters!

So - what do you think? Are you ready to change your life? All you have to do now is fill out the challenge group application below and I will be in touch shortly! I can't wait to work with you!!!

How do you rank advance as a Beachbody Coach?

This has to be another one of the most popular questions I get from people! So, I thought I'd take a minute and break it down for you!

When you first sign up as a Beachbody Coach, you have a title: Coach. 

Within that Coach rank, you can be an active coach or an inactive coach.

• An active coach keeps 50 pv (personal volume) every 35 days and pays their business fee each month ($15.95). That means that you have either purchased or sold something that carries a value of 50 pv within the past 5 weeks. That's very easy to do, especially if you drink Shakeology daily!
• An inactive coach is someone who does NOT have 50 pv every 35 days but still keeps up on their business fees each month. In order for an inactive coach to become active, you have to purchase or sell something worth that 50 pv. Then you are good to go for another 35 days.

The next step after the Coach rank is EMERALD RANK. Once you hit Emerald, you being to Cycle Bonus. I'll do another post on how to earn money as a beachbody coach later! An Emerald Coach has three requirements they must meet:

• 50 pv every 5 weeks
• Two Personally Sponsored (PS) active coaches, one on each leg.
• Paid business fees each month.

Here's a little visual aid for the visual learners:

The second step in rank advancing is to become a RUBY COACH. A Ruby Coach has three requirements they must also meet:

• 75 pv every 5 weeks
• Four (4) active PS coaches, two on each leg. One coach on each leg must also rank advance from Coach to Emerald Coach. 
• Paid business fees each month

Again - for the visual learners:

The third step in Beachbody Rank Advancing is to become a DIAMOND COACH. A Diamond Coach also has three requirements.

• 100 pv every 5 weeks
• Eight (8) active PS coaches, four (4) on each leg. One coach on each leg must be an active, paid Emerald Rank.
• Business fees paid monthly

Here's the visual:

Wanna see all them put together in one pretty picture???

Once you hit Diamond Coach status, things start to get really fun! Now, in order for you to rank advance further, you must become a leader. You must help YOUR TEAM rank advance. There are 14 more rank advancements that can happen, 1 star through 15 star (also known as Super Star) Diamond.

In order to rank advance from Diamond to 1 Star Diamond, you must add two more PS active coachs to your downline and help a PS coach achieve Diamond status themselves. Instead of me explaining each and every Star Diamond rank requirement, take a look at the following pictures. The explain it WAY better than I ever could!

1 - 5 Star Diamond Rank Advancement:

6 - 10 Star Diamond Rank Advancement:

11 - 15 Star Diamond Rank Advancement:

Along with rank advancing, there are opportunities to earn bonus' at each level. The benchmarks for bonus' are at 2 Star, 5 Star, 10 Star, and Super Star ranks. Again, I'll explain this more later on. Let's just say that you want to hit these benchmarks as soon as possible!

So now you know how to rank advance in Beachbody. NOW WHAT? 

That's easy! Join my team! Help other people help themselves while you help yourself! It's a win-win situation! Just fill out the application below and I will be in touch very soon! I can't wait to talk to you!

Focus T25 Results and Test Group

As a Diamond Beachbody Coach, I anxiously await an email on the last day of each month. It's our Diamond Insider sneak peak at the coming month's specials. It drives me NUTS when I don't get the email before I head to bed!

I'm one of those people who CANNOT wait!

So - anyways - I was anxiously awaiting this email Monday night and I had been hearing rumors all day about what the April Beachbody promotions were going to be.

The one rumor that caught my ear was that the Focus T25 Challenge Pack was going to be on sale! It is normally $205 and the April promo price is $180! That's a savings of $25 over the already discounted Challenge Pack!

When I got my email at 9pm - my suspicions were confirmed! The T25 Challenge Pack WAS on sale! WOO HOO!

Wait a minute. Back that horse up. You don't know what a Challenge Pack is? Well, let me tell you!

A challenge pack is a deeply discounted bundle from Beachbody. It's also the ticket into one of my test/challenge groups! Your challenge pack includes the following:

1. Your COMPLETE workout program
2. A month supply of Shakeology
3. A month FREE upgrade to the club membership on Teambeachbody.com (think meal planner, chats with trainers, etc.)
4. $2 shipping. 
5. A support and accountability group to help you reach your goals.
6. ME AS YOUR COACH!

Now, let's do some simple math to break it down a little further for you:

• Focus T25, PROGRAM ONLY, is $119.85 + shipping (around $15)
• A one month supply of Shakeology is $129.95 + shipping (around $15)
• Total for T25 and Shakeology separately = $279.80

With the normally priced Challenge Pack, they discount everything to $205, ok - $207 after shipping.

For this month, April 2014 - they are discounting the Focus T25 Challenge Pack to $180 ($182 after shipping)!!! 

SERIOUSLY! It doesn't get much better!

Need proof? Check out these Focus T25 Transformation!

There are tons of Wufoo features to help make your forms awesome.

What is a Challenge Group?

Wanna know the two most common questions I hear as a Beachbody Coach?

1. "What the heck IS a Challenge Group?"
2. "Why do I need a Challenge Group to succeed?"

These questions are easy to answer because I attribute my 65 pound weight loss to Challenge Groups! Being a part of them were a HUGE factor in my success!

Q. What IS a Challenge Group?

A. A Challenge Group is made up of all kinds of different people, working together to support each other and reach their goals. They are all working out to a Beachbody program, they are all drinking Shakeology, and they are all eating clean!

Sometimes a challenge group will be made up of one specific Beachbody program, like P90X3. Other times the challenge group will be a mixed group. Mixed groups contain all Beachbody programs except the 21 Day Fix. That program gets its' own group because it's such a special program!

Q. Do I have to go anywhere for this Challenge Group?

A. NOPE! We run the challenge groups through secret facebook groups! We want this to be easy for you! Just sit down, check in, and workout!

Q. Why do I need a Challenge Group to succeed?

A. The reasons for needing a Challenge Group are really endless. 

1. Support. We talk each and every day to support the entire group! Hit a plateau? We are there to help you find a solution through it! Need some encouragement to go workout? We will kick your butt into gear!
2. Nutrition. We love to share our favorite recipes and help each other find new recipes.
3. Accountability. THIS is the big one. We hold each other accountable for our workouts. Our favorite thing to do is post a sweaty post-workout picture. Don't worry. It's a secret group and the pics don't leave the group without your permission!
4. Friendship. This is one that no one ever sees coming. When you join the challenge group, you end up making new friends for life!
5. FUN! We have a BLAST in our challenge groups! Posting funny and encouraging pictures. Lifting each other up when we are feeling down. Celebrating our successes!
   
   

Q. I've failed at weight loss so many times. What will you do to help me succeed?

A. This is a LOADED question. And guess what? It's the same question I asked MY COACH before I made the decision to join a Challenge Group. Her answer to me was this: "There is no guarantee that you will 100% succeed. That is going to depend on you. If you are determined, follow the program, eat well, drink your Shakeology, and STAY ENGAGED in the group, there is no reason that you won't succeed. But remember, I CANNOT do the work for you." This was the best piece of advice I have ever gotten!

Q. What do I need to participate in one of these Challenge Groups?

A. You need three things to participate in one of my Challenge Groups:

 
1. A Beachbody Workout. We're talking P90X, T25, 21 Day Fix, P90X3, Insanity, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, Chalean Extreme, etc. There's a TON to pick from and new ones are being rolled out all the time.
   
2. Shakeology. "But Kelly - I eat my food. I don't drink it." Well friends - get over it and try it. I said the EXACT same thing to my coach. She said the EXACT same thing to me. And guess what? I'm forever changed. Shakeology is NOT going to make you lose weight. You will have to WORK to do that. What Shakeology does is provide your body with 70+ essential vitamins and nutrients that are in WHOLE FOOD FORM. Nothing fake. Ever. The only thing about Shakeology that is processed is that the whole foods are DRIED to make the powder!
   
   ***the BEST value is to purchase your workout and shakeology TOGETHER in a package called a Challenge Pack. They are deeply discounted, so much that we, as coaches, cannot buy them! I would be happy to help you choose what challenge pack is best for you. Just find me on Facebook (http://bit.ly/klevere) or shoot me an email.
   
3. ME as your coach!  Don't worry. This part is FREE! Clicking on this link will take you to a page that will make me your coach! http://bit.ly/freecoachkelly

So - there you have it. Now you know what a Challenge Group is and how they run. Next step is to sign up for a free account and get in contact with me. Whatever you do - PLEASE DO NOT BE AFRAID to contact me. My goal is to help as many people as I can. I want YOU  to feel as good as I do. I want YOU to have the same changes in your life and body that I had. If I can do it, so can you! 

Let's do this TOGETHER!!!

21 Day Fix Week 1 Meal Plan

So - I have to be completely honest and transparent. I have started the 21 Day Fix 3 times and have fallen off the wagon twice.

I hate excuses. Hate them. But I'm gonna give you one right now. Life hasn't been easy the past few weeks. My daughter and son have been sick. I've been to more doctors appointments and specialist appointments than I ever wanted to go to.

See, my daughter has had 8 ear infections in the last 10 months. So, we got her on antibiotics to clear the latest one up while we waited for our ENT appointment. Then we found out that her left ankle was swollen. Two xrays and a pediatric orthopaedic specialist later and we still don't know whats wrong. She's in a walking boot and it still swollen.

Then my son got something and had a swollen glad the size of a golf ball sticking out the side of his neck. So, off to the pediatrician we went again!

I AM SO SICK OF DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS! (if you want the whole story on my daughter, check out my last blog post!)

So - why am I telling you all of this? I promise it's for a good reason.

You see, I'm an emotional eater. I try to control it but its very hard. I still struggle with it 18 months into my journey. The past two weeks I let my emotions get in my way.

Did that Thin Mint make my daughter's foot get better? No. Did that candy bar stop the fact that my daughter had to get surgery last? Nope. Did my big heaping helping of cheesy potatoes clear up my son's nasty swollen gland? You guessed it - NO!

So, why did I eat all that junk?

The answer is simple. HABIT. No matter how many new healthy habits I make, when things get really stressful in my life, I turn to old comforts. It's something I'm working on.

So - today starts anew (I wrote this blog post on Monday). A fresh beginning. I WILL stick to the plan this week. I WILL NOT deviate. My goals are important and I will reach them!

Here's my plan for the week. Each day is color coded with the containers. I'm eating in the second category because I am doing the X3 workouts and still nursing my daughter. I need the extra calories!

Here's what this week's meals look like:

I'm pretty happy with this meal plan. Saturday and Sunday's dinners might change, depending on our moods later in the week and what I feel like cooking - haha! I hope this helps you in your 21 Day Fix planning!

If you want to try the program or get further help, feel free to get ahold of me! Comment below, message me on FB, or email me at klevere62@yahoo.com!
