As a stay at home Mom and P90X® grad myself, I get the question ALL THE TIME.  “What is this PX90 stuff I hear all about?”

It’s funny how many more people call it PX90, than P90X®.  Hmmm…maybe they need to rebrand.  {Insert shouting} “TONY!!!!!”.

Or, maaaaaaybe not.  To those that really want to get into incredible shape and change their mentality for good health, this is a total game changer.  After the birth of our 2^nd child, I was all over it like a wet rag.  Check out my before and after HERE.

Ok, so what exactly IS, P90X®??

Well if you are looking to reshape your physique beyond what you’ve been working towards in the gym, day in and day out…this is your calling!

Tony Horton, your personal, in-home celebrity trainer and mastermind behind this program, uses the science of Muscle Confusion™ to constantly challenge your body with new moves and routines within a 90-day period.

Now the program.  What do you get?

P90X^® has 12 highly diverse and intense workouts. It’s a total-body program that incorporates strength training, cardio, core work, yoga, and flexibility. You’ll learn how to customize P90X for your specific goals so you’ll get the results you want.

The Tools:

You’ll also get the complete P90X 3-Phase Nutrition Plan, the P90X Fitness Guide, the How to Bring It Video, the P90X Calendar, and 24/7 Online Support for access to P90X experts.

Why Muscle Confusion™?

So your results never plateau, and you get in better shape in less time.  Can you imagine that??  I couldn’t….then I embarked on it myself!  Insert, again, MYSTORY.

There you have it.  Whether you are a former athlete (or new athlete) wanting to get back to your “former self”, training for a Marathon, a new Mom needing to shed those post-baby pounds or simply embark on an entire new way to live healthy – P90X will get you there.

Oh, and here’s the best part – I WILL HELP YOU!  Yup, I will Coach you, support you, mentor you and encourage you through the ENTIRE 90 days, and beyond, if you decide to take on the commitment.

So, do you have it in you to be the next P90X grad?

There is no secret that I may just be the #1 fan of Shakeology®, and there are so many reasons why. This just may be one of the more relevant ones.

The integrity, time, commitment and value that went into HAND selecting every ingredient that makes up the amazing meal replacement shake – Shakeology. But, don’t just take it from me, or the countless others who’s lives have been impacted from it.

Watch this video on the great lengths that the “Ingredient Hunter”, Darin Olien (co-creators of Shakeology® and as featured in Oprah Magazine), takes to assure every ingredient is off the purest form.

This is “Nature in a Bag”:

So, ask yourself, do you really want to shop for all of THIS:

Just to attempt to get ALL the nutrition you get in 1 serving of this:

Still hesitant? Try a 4-pack Sample of it today and really relish in the revived energy you didn’t realize could exist.

Oh, and have the ease in knowing that Beachbody offers a 30 day bottom of the bag guarantee.  Not satisified after the first taste?  First week?  First 30 days and bag is empty?  Return it for a FULL REFUND (minus shipping).  And, better yet, get FREE SHIPPING!  I’ve got more details, so hit me up!  Oh, and BONUS OFFER for all NEW Shakeology Home Direct (free shipping) orders!

Do you feel as though having kids has just taken a toll on your figure?  Maybe left you that cushy layer of post-baby weight? Have you succumbed to eating your kids snacks and finger foods, because it’s convenient?  Do you think you need to settle with being fat & frumpy?  DEFINITELY NOT!

And you know what?  You aren’t alone!  I was YOU.  I felt lost, depressed and sick and tired of being sick and tired…oh, and FAT!

Don’t get me wrong, having my kids was one of the proudest moments in my life (and not even sure we are done yet), but I refused to accept what some of my other Mom friends would say as “that glorious ‘left over’ reward of bearing children”.  NO THANKS!!  Not me.  Not anymore. NO EXCUSES!

It’s time to focus on YOU.  We can only be better Mommy’s when we work on ourselves, right??!  Not to mention, why not set the stage for a lifestyle of physical activity and good health for your kids?  As, we all know, they develop their habits from what they learn from US!!!  You owe them that much.  You owe YOURSELF!

If you’ve read my story, you’ll recall how I set out on a mission to shed my post baby weight.  Through and during my mission, I realized that I wasn’t alone in this battle.  In fact, my Mom friends (and stranger’s alike) started coming out of the wood work, sharing with me their struggles and upsets with carrying around the excess post-baby weight.  It’s almost like we became each other’s therapist!

After I hit my goals, I was set out on a new mission, and that was to inspire other New Mom’s that they could seek success in reaching their goals of weight loss, all while still being that Super Mom, their kids have always known and love – just minus the muffin top!

So check out how THIS stay-at-home Mom found P90X® and how in just 90 days changed my entire outlook on life (I know, I know, a bit cliché and likely sounds like a damn infomercial.  But you know WHAT?!!  I don’t CARE!  Ok, I do, I do, care.  It’s true.  Oh, and I’m in the latest infomercial!  Haha). All jokes aside…I learned a TON, of what I was doing wrong!  And yup, you guessed it, eating the leftovers off my kids plates…was completely sabotaging my progress, or lack there of.  LIGHT BULB!

And you know what?  P90X might not be the vehicle YOU use to reach your goals, maybe a future goal or challenge to work towards, but starting by getting yourself “scheduled” into your day, is imperative to success.  What your first step is, recognizing it’s YOUR time and NOW it’s time to put a action plan in place.

Guess what???  I want to help you get there.  I will offer continued support, guidance and motivation to reach your goals.  There is no reason why you have to settle.  No Mother should have to settle, unless they CHOOSE to.  I choose NOT to.  What’s your choice?

Send me an email: taryn@choose2befit.com, as I’d be happy to help you shed that post-baby weight for free!!

As I’ve always known, Shakeology is a great product and have a far better respect for it, after listening to Carl’s wife, Isabelle, co-creator of Shakeology, speak to the integrity behind the product and it’s birth.

Shakeology continues to evolve, and as it does, more and more lives will be impacted from it’s great many health benefits.  I am just touched by some of the stories I’ve read and heard, first hand, from people that have experienced a change in their total wellness.

Well, to top that, Carl and his buddies wanted to seek feedback from a population of experts, that many of turn to when our health takes a turn for the worst – our Doctors.  Here is a great video that shares THEIR personal experience with Shakeology and how they feel it’s a stand up product and recommend it to their patients – and NO, they are not being paid to endorse it, strictly voluntary.

Want further validation, take the ingredients list to YOUR doctor and have them see it for themselves.  Or, better yet, walk into your next appointment with a sample, so they can experience it first hand, and give you their honest impression.  I can help you with those sample packets.

But, trusting the 30-day bottom of the bag guarantee, maybe you just experience it yourself.  If you’d like to get on board and try out Shakeology, send me an email: taryn@choose2befit.com or visit: http://shake4wellness.com and check it out for yourself.

Shakeology FAQ’s – Part 2!

I’ve had so many great questions, as of late, about Shakeology®, so I figured I’d post them here to hopefully help others that may have the same inquires.  This is Part 2, so be sure to check out the original post – Shakeology ® – Frequently Asked Questions….ANSWERED.

Q:  (Part 1) If I have one Shakeology a day, as suggested for my meal replacement, do I need to continue to take my multi-vitamin?

A:  It depends.  If you are fairly active, meaning doing a high intensity program such as P90X, Insanity or ChaLEAN Extreme, your body is using up far more vitamins and nutrients, than a daily serving found in Shakeology.  So, in that case, you should continue with your daily Activit or multi-vitamin, although strongly suggested to take it at the same time you enjoy your Shakeology.  If you are doing a lower impact fitness regime, Shakeology should suffice with your daily vitamin  intake.  If you have further questions, always a good idea to consult your physician.

Q:  (Part 2) If I take Activit (or any daily multi) each day, when is the best time to take that?  Before or after Shakeology?

A:  During.  It’s strongly recommended to take your multi-vitamin with you Shakeology, as the digestive enzymes found in Shakeology, will aid your body in absorbing all of those nutrients, quicker, than if taken alone.  (NOTE: never a good idea to take a multi-vitamin on an empty stomach).

Q:  Can I really get free shipping?

A:  YES!  Free shipping is available on all Home Direct (HD) orders for any of the Shakeology package options (Bulk bag or Individual Take N’ Go packets).  In addition to free shipping, on your first HD order, Beachbody will include 2 Free Shakeology Workouts – The 30 and The 50) and one more FREE gift!  BONUS!!

Q:  I heard I could save some money by being a Coach.  What if I’m interested in saving the money, but not necessarily being a Coach?

A:  No problem.  There are many Shakeology addicts (and I say that as a GOOD thing), that chose to become Coaches, strictly for the discount (25% discount).  Now, I’d be lying if I said they didn’t spread the word a bit here and there and make a few extra bucks themselves, by sharing their experience with Shakeology.  But, you certainly don’t have to be a “Coach” to be a “Coach” and get the discount.  Here’s how you could save $15/month as a Coach:

Direct Customer Price: $119.95*

Coach Price (25% discount): $89.96*

(Home Direct Orders = Free Shipping)

Initial Savings: $29.99

Monthly Coach fee: ($14.95)

Overall SAVINGS: $15.04

(*excludes tax, as applicable per state)

So aside from the initial Coach set up fee of $39.95 (which could be waived if they were to purchase a Shakeology Starter Kit), you are still money ahead each month, with a savings of $15.04 per month.

Not to mention, as your friends/family start seeing a difference in your overall health, you will likely share what has aided in your new journey (just like you’d share a great new movie you saw, or restaurant you ate at) and can, in turn, earn a 25% commission by having your family/friends purchase Shakeology from YOU.  That’s close to $30 off one retail order!!

Q:  What if I want to sample it.  Does Beachbody offer that?

A:  Beachbody does not offer samples, although if you check with your Coach, they may offer a sample for you.  Personally, I offer all my customers and those interested in trying it, a 4-day Trial offer.  Click HERE to learn more and get your own.

Q:  How can I find out more about the ingredients and what’s in it?

A:  Go to my Shakeology website and it will offer you all the ingredients, recipes (for both flavors) and testimonials to provide you with the confidence to try it yourself.

Q:  What if I don’t like it?

A:  It’s rare that people don’t LOVE it, but if it doesn’t agree with you or you simply don’t care for it– NO PROBLEM!!  Beachbody offers a 30-Day Bottom of the bag money back guarantee.  Which basically means, return it for a full refund (minus shipping, if you ordered one time only).  100% risk free!

Although Shakeology aids in weight loss, lowering cholesterol/blood pressure, digestive issues, etc., there are some that it may not agree with!  As with any new nutritional product, if you have prior health issues, please consult with your physician.

I was honored to be asked by Certified Personal Organizer®, D. Allison Lee, to do a guest blog piece on her website on “How to Make Time for Exercise”.   After some self-doubt on my own organization, I knew that I had mastered making time for exercise – even as a busy Mom of 2 active kid’s.

I invite you to check out the blog post – CLICK HERE – although I’ll offer in quick summary, my suggestions on how, as little as 20 minutes a day, can supercharge your day, kick start your metabolism and set the stage for your new physical transformation:

• Schedule your workouts and COMMIT!  No excuse.
   
  • Is that at 5:00 AM? For me it is!
  • Is it during your lunch break? Remember, only takes 20 minutes!
  • Is it before you go home after work?  Hit the gym before you head home, as once you get home, your likelihood of getting motivation to exercise goes down by 40%!
• Make them fun.  Be creative.
• Switch up your workouts regularly.
  • Continue to challenge yourself and get the most out of your results.
• Try something new.
  • New walk/run route.
  • New at-home workout program
  • New fitness challenge.
  • New Wii Fit game.
  • New group fitness class.
• Get a buddy.
  • Working out with a friend often offers more motivation and accountability.  Two key elements in sticking to your commitment.

Moral of the story, make fitness a part of your daily “TO-DO” list.  It’s just something as part of your day, just like eating breakfast, brushing your teeth and calling your Mom.  DON’T FORGET.  No excuses.

I must give credit, where credit is due.

I got the bulk of this recipe from my new favorite magazine – Oxygen Magazine - from their Collection Issue: Glutes.  I did switch it up slightly, so I’ll pat myself on the back for a job well done. ((pat pat))

Ok, with much anticipation, here is the most delicious and HEALTHY recipe for those that love French Toast, like me, but don’t want the added fat and calories from how it’s usually made.

Makes 1 serving – Ready in 10 Minutes

½ cup of liquid egg whites

1 tbsp of skim milk

Dash of cinnamon

Dash of nutmeg

¼ tsp of vanilla extract

½ tbsp of coconut oil (for non-stick purposes only)

2 slices of whole grain/whole wheat bread

Fresh Berries

Optional Additions:

2 tbsp of Fage 0% Plain Yogurt

1 tbsp Agave Nectar

Sprinkle of walnuts

1. Whisk together the liquid egg whites, skim milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract.  Over medium heat, place non-stick skillet with coconut oil to warm.
2. Dip bread into mixture and place in skilley for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, or until slightly brown.
3. Top with berries, non-fat Fage Plain Yogurt, walnuts and Agave Nectar (last 3 ingredients are optional).

Serve and INDULGE with no guilt!

These are incredibly inspiring stories, that will be featured in the newest People Magazine, although featured on this morning’s the Today Show.  Amazing transformations from 3 people that lost the weight ON THEIR OWN!  No pills. No surgery. No magic.

The 2nd story features a gentleman that lost 180lbs using Beachbody’s at home fitness program.  Nothing like continuing to get free publicity on air.  WHY?  Because it works!!  Watch this and be inspired:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Anyone following Pink on Twitter?  How about David Archuletta?  They both are finding great results with P90X.  Best part is, they aren’t getting paid to endorse it.  Same with Sheryl Crow and her announcement of P90X and how it’s changed her figure.
