Weigh In Day April 30!

It's Weigh In Day!! Yay!

Every week we have a Weigh In Day to track our progress. You can check your weight, measurements, body fat or take a photo of yourself to track your progress. Send us an email at GolladayFit@gmail.com to let us know how you are doing!

It's true, some weeks I dread stepping on the scale, but this week wasn't one of those weeks! I did so good on my eating and working out last week. It definitely paid off! I lost another pound and got down to the lowest weight I've gotten so far 139. My first goal was 145, and now I'm trying for 135. So I'm getting closer! Pretty good when you think I was 196 the day I delivered our baby last August 2011! I must be doing something right! :)

What Beachbody Coaching is All About

Post by Shannon

This post is for those of you who might be wondering what we are doing with all this Beachbody stuff.

First, of all Patrick and I are just regular people who like Beachbody workouts and products. We're not health and fitness experts.

Patrick and I started by doing Beachbody workouts and loving them. We thought the workouts were fun, and liked that they actually worked. :)

Last December 2011, we were introduced to the Beachbody Coaching program. I thought it looked awesome to be able to help others get healthy and fit, and thought it would motivate me too. So I signed up. Patrick was a little skeptical at first. He didn't know what I was doing. When I started get customers and making money, he was happy. :)

So Patrick signed up a couple weeks after me. We've been doing it together now for about 4 1/2 months, and we can honestly say that we love it!

We love it because we are able to help people from all over the world get healthy and fit. All we do is motivate them and help them through their programs. This has helped us get healthy and fit too. We love it!

Another bonus is getting paid to do this. So far between the two of us, we have 202 customers. We've made $3,673.37, we have 41 coaches on our team and we've personally sponsored 13. Also, 95% of our customers are people we didn't know before we started doing this. :)

We had no idea where this would lead us! At first, we thought it would be great to get 25% off their products, and it would be fun! It has turned out even better than we thought! I've been able to stay home with our girls more instead of leaving the house to go to work. It has been a perfect fit for us, especially me. :)

I love it because I don't have to bug people about it. I post things online, and if people want to talk more about it, I talk to them, but I don't need to bug my family and friends. :)

I also love that Beachbody gives you free customers when you reach different levels. That has helped our business a lot!

This is a great opportunity for people who:

-Love Beachbody workouts or products
-Want to motivate and cheer people on
-Like health and fitness
-Want to make some extra money on the side

It has also helped that I have a bachelor's degree in public relations and over 7 years of experience in marketing. :) I've been able to organize trainings and mentor the coaches on our team to help them succeed by using things I've learned.

So, if you are interested in this opportunity, let us know! There are lots of ways to do it, and I'd be happy to talk to you more about it. Email us at GolladayFit@gmail.com or send me a message on Facebook. to learn more!

WEEKEND CHALLENGE: Track your water intake!

It's time for the WEEKEND CHALLENGE!! Each weekend we post a challenge to help you be more healthy and fit! This weekend's challenge is to track your water intake!
Most people don't drink enough water each day. Water is SO important to help you flush out toxins in your body and help your body work properly.

This weekend track how much water you drink each day!

How much water do you need?
(Text taken from Redline Endurance's site)
Water intake is dependant upon your environment and activity level. For example, if you live in a relatively hot or humid environment, your intake is going to be slightly different due to perspiration. You will often times drink more water than someone that doesn’t live in that type of environment. In order to ensure hydration throughout the day, the first thing you should in the morning when you wake up before you have your coffee or tea are TWO 8 ounce glasses of water. Next, you want to drink about 4 8-ounce glasses of water per 1000 Calories eaten. For example, if you eat 2000 Calories, then you would need 8 glasses of water plus any fluid replacement. Fluid replacement is essential after exercise. You will need to drink approximately 2 to 4 8-ounce glasses of water per 1 hour of exercise.

Good luck everyone!!

Product Review: TurboFire

Post by Shannon

Every Thursday we do a review of a Beachbody product. This week is TurboFire! Click on the link or picture to see a video of the workout.

It is a fun, upbeat workout by Chalene Johnson! Chalene is so awesome and motivating! I love how she pushes you to do even more. I always tired and sweating at the end of her workouts! That's good, right? That means it worked! :)

The regular program is 12 weeks, but if you do the advanced workouts too, it is 20 weeks. I just started week 13 this week, which is the first week of the advanced workouts. Wow! They are intense! I love them, but they are intense!

TurboFire is challenging and fun at the same time. If you like kick boxing, dance or aerobics, this is a good one for you!

Here are a few facts:

- 14 workouts on 10 DVDs that range from 10 to 55  minutes
- You get the 6 Advanced workouts if you buy the Complete System. I recommend getting this instead of buying the advanced workouts separately if you want to take it to the next level!
- It comes with a Lower Body Band, an awesome nutrition guide and a Stretch band
- There is a 90-Day Money Back Guarantee
- Everything you need is included in the kit so you don't need to buy extra equipment
- There are "new to class" workouts to help you learn the steps (these are VERY helpful!)
- The workouts help you burn fat and get leaner

I officially started TurboFire on January 2. I did it for four weeks, and then started over again on January 30. It took me a few weeks to learn the choreography. That's why I started over. I'm so glad I did that because I was able to put more energy into it after learning the moves. 

Overall, this is a fun, upbeat workout! I recommend it!

TurboFire is also available in a Challenge Pack! This is a great deal (workout PLUS Shakeology!) Click on the link to see all of the Challenge Pack Options:  Beachbody Challenge Packs

Recipe Wednesday: Strawberry-Ricotta Breakfast Wrap

It's Recipe Wednesday! I love sharing these recipes! It's so fun!

This one was taken from Beachbody's Meal Planner (Offered with the Team Beachbody Club Membership).

I love their meal planner. It lays out all your meals for the week, gives you a grocery list, and keeps you in your calorie range. It's awesome!

Strawberry-Ricotta Breakfast Wrap


Ingredients

1/4 cup sliced strawberries, fresh
2 low carb whole wheat tortilla, 6"
2/3 cup ricotta cheese, fat free
2 1/2 Tablespoons walnuts, chopped
8 fluid oz. of milk


Preparation

Arrange the sliced strawberries equally down the center of each tortilla
Spoon ricotta over the strawberries
Roll tortillas up, place seam-side down on a microwave safe plate, and cover loosely with plastic wrap
Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until ricotta cheese is heated through. Sprinkle with walnuts.
Serve immediately with a glass of milk

These are really good!

A Day in the Life: Life is Great!

Post by Shannon

Life is going great since I posted last week about putting our lives on a diet!

I've been able to spend a lot more time with these two little girls, and I feel so much more balanced! It is a great feeling!!

We have been going to bed every night between 10-11 and waking up between 6-7. Our girls have been sleeping better and better each night, which has helped a lot too!

Patrick and I have been drinking Shakeology first thing in the morning, then reading scriptures and a motivational book (I'm reading PUSH, which I love!), and then we do our workouts. Our goal is to do all of this by 8 a.m. So far we've been finishing before 8:30 at the latest.

I can't even tell you how nice it is to have more structure and balance in our lives!! It's sooo great!!

Before this, we were going to bed between 12:30-1:30 a.m., waking up around 7- 7:30, rushing around all day, but not getting much done. Trying to get our workouts in whenever we could find the time. Patrick usually did his workouts after 10:30 p.m. I tried to do mine with the girls around most days, but my 30 min. workout turned into an hour an a half workout most of the time, because it is WAY too hard to workout with two VERY active kids 2 1/2 and under!!

Anyway, life is good, really good actually! I feel so much more put together, and much less stressed! Our lives really needed this!

One week down, MANY more to go!! :)

Weigh In Day Monday!

It's Weigh In Day! Every Monday is Weigh In Day for the GolladayFit Team! You can take your measurements, weight, body fat, photos, etc. The most important thing is the keep track of your progress to see how you are doing!

I like the quote I posted above. It's true, you only fail when you give up! The most important thing is to keep trying.

This is a lifestyle change, not a diet or a quick fix. This is a lasting change that will help you be healthy and fit forever!

Don't worry, if you ate a huge bowl of ice cream yesterday or a burger and fries on Saturday. Just start again today. That's the best part. Each day is a NEW day that you can start over and try again!

We're here cheering you on every step of the way!!
