Back to Fitness


Life is hectic as back to school starts, but consistency is key to keeping things from getting too stressful. Looking for a way to keep on track with healthy eating habits and working out? I'm running a "back to fitness” challenge to help keep on track when life gets crazy. It is a combination of nutrition planning and exercise.  The challenge starts Sept. 12 and is 30 days long.


Interested?  Check out my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/jbearefitness) or my Team Beachbody site (www.teambeachbody.com/jenneybeare or www.shakeology.com/jenneybeare)

I'M A COACH!!

Well, I did it!  I signed up for a Piyo challenge, and then decided to try to be a coach.  I've already connected with a couple people and I feel so good that I am helping them take the first steps toward getting healthy.  I initially signed up just to get a discount, but it is so rewarding to help people :)

The piyo workouts are super challenging, but still fun.  I did the Sweat workout today, and even though it totally whooped me, I was still smiling.  That surprised me!  I never liked working out before, but I enjoy this.

Team BeachBody Coach?

I'm considering becoming a Team Beachbody coach... but I haven't decided yet.  You've probably heard of some of their fitness or nutrition products - P90X is very popular, as well as T25 and their main nutrition product is Shakeology. 

So why am I considering becoming a coach? Honestly, what first drew me to it was potential for income.  I'd love to have some play money for online shopping, purses (oh how I love fancy purses!), vacations, Starbucks... basically things that are fun to have, but certainly aren't necessary and don't always fit into the budget.  I've looked in to other direct sales options, but they just didn't seem to be the right fit.  Everything either was overpriced food, jewelry I didn't like, or products that weren't needing to be replaced (like bags).  I knew if I was going to try direct sales, it would have to be in something that would be a consumable good that people would reorder.  That way, you can build a customer base and not have to constantly try to find new customers to purchase items. Once I was drawn in, I began to look more at the nutrition aspects of Shakeology.  I am a firm believer in trying to eat healthy, whole foods and not just supplement a poor diet with lots of pills.  From what I can tell, Shakeology is derived from whole foods and is just one shake a day... not several pills a couple times a day (<-- big bonus for me! I am HORRIBLE about taking vitamins!).  I've also heard great things about P90x and how it really helped people get in shape, so I figured their other fitness options are likely to be good too.

At this point, I'm at a bit of a crossroads.  I'd love to try Shakeology and Piyo (Beachbody's pilates/yoga workout), but the cost scares me.  If I become a coach, I get a 25% discount and can earn commission.  

Ok... so the pros of being a coach:
1. Discount on Shakeology and fitness programs
2. Potential to earn commission on anything I sell
3. Apparently it's possible to earn the big bucks if you put enough work in (like 6 figure salaries!!)
4. Accountability and support for exercising and eating right.

And the cons:
1. I've never been good at sticking to an actual exercise regimen, so what's to say that I'll stick with this?
2. Shakeology is expensive.  I know it averages out to be less than what my latte at Starbucks costs, but it sure feels different when a big chunk of money comes out of the ole bank account, versus a little at a time.
3. What if Shakeology is really just some nasty chalky drink that costs more than making a green smoothie every day?

I still don't know what I'm going to do - I need to think it over and discuss it more with the hubs, but really, what do I have to lose? Maybe this could be a really good thing!

August Goals

I think I need to start writing down things I want to accomplish... so I don't completely forget them 10 seconds after I think of them.  And I like to cross things off a list, so why not combine the two? Here is my starter list for August:

1. Drink more water. I usually just drink coffee (hello Starbucks addiction) and pop, but I know water is important.  I've just discovered how good cucumber water is and I can't believe I've never tried it before!  Hopefully this helps me increase my water intake.

2. Start a fitness regimen. I wish I could say this is purely for health purposes, but in reality, I'm going to the beach soon and I want to look good in a bikini! I do want to be in shape to keep up with my 2 girls and hopefully getting more exercise in will help with my diabetes control. 

3. Clean/sort/purge baby clothes. Georgia and Olivia already have owned more clothes than I think I have ever owned!  I can't get rid of Olivia's old clothes yet since Georgia may end up being able to wear them, but they are completely disorganized and it's driving me crazy!

4. Paint my nails more. I need more me time.  That's all.
