My Journey

I thought I'd share my progression since starting with Beachbody in November. 

At first I did PiYo mostly, now I'm doing Body Beast for the weight training & cardio (as well as occasional running) and PiYo for the stretch. 

These programs work if you work them. I love the ease of working out at home and I love that each program comes with a nutritional guide, recipes and even meal plans, so you have everything you need to meet your goals. 

For me, personally, I'm just happy to be comfortable in my own skin. I'm happy to be eating as natural as possible. I avoid synthetics and stimulants as much as possible. I don't pop pills. I don't skip meals. I eat about 2000 calories a day which includes Shakeology as a snack (often a 400 calorie snack!). 

It's not hard. You just have to start small. I know it can be daunting. I know if you've tried diets and failed you may be hesitant to try one of the Beachbody products. I totally get it. I also understand feeling like you want it to work yesterday. But you've got to remember...it's not a sprint. It's a lifelong journey. When you go slow and approach it with love for yourself, you will see lasting results. 

If you try to go fast and skip meals and drink stimulant-laden drinks for the energy you aren't getting from real food, and when you're so jacked up you can't sleep because you're taking all of this crap and filling your body with all of these artificial chemicals....yea, it's just not going to last. I've seen it happen to my family and friends and their experiences kept me from trying vaious programs as well. I'd watch them take stuff, drink drinks, eat mail-ordered meals, etc and sure, they lost weight, but it always came back and then some. Such large weight fluctuations are hard on your body, mind, and spirit. 

Beachbody is not like that. It's not about a quick fix. It's about taking care of YOU. Its about listening to your needs and finding a program that suits you and your fitness level AND your schedule. Then, it's about being there for you, to support you as you progress. It's about listening when you struggle (we all do at times), & it's about helping you see that you've come a long way and then motivate you to keep going! It's also not about just losing some weight...it's about helping you feel amazing in your own skin. It's about helping you LEARN about nutrition, so you don't fall into a food rut or feel deprived, which will just lead to frustration. 

Beachbody isn't about just selling a product. 

It's about holding your hand and celebrating with you when you achieve your goals!
