I hope those of you that were inspired to get healthy have been able to achieve some of your goals! I am really happy with all of the positive feedback from my 'Nothing Tastes As Good As Healthy Feels' & other health related blog entries. I am happy to motivate you all and nothing makes me happier that to be able to send positive energy out into the world however it finds you. ;o)
As you all know, I have been battling my thyroid disease over the past year. Trying to get onto the right medication regime & trying to still maintain my active lifestyle & insanity workouts! I can't lie, its been really tough. I have had ups & downs throughout the entire diagnosis & treatment and I am really happy to report that my latest blood test results came back very good! My hormone levels are FINALLY regulating & staying that way. Last time they were going up, then down, then up, etc. I will still have some struggles to deal with but I think we all do in different ways. If its not a thyroid it would be something else right?!
There are plenty of 'reasons' we can all come up with in order to avoid being active, (work, kids, family, no time...) or make excuses to why we are eating bad. Bottom line, YOU are the only thing getting in the way of your own success!
Being healthy is a lifestyle, its not something you do for a week or two. You have to want the best for you in order to keep it up.

I have teamed up with Beach Body and become a personal Coach! I want to help you all find your own success and it can start today! You have read my food intake guidelines and suggestions as well as my workout plan advise. (which will come more often now) I have touched briefly on supplementing your calories with protein shakes and bars as well as all of the other great vitamins we need to stay healthy. I don't endorse ANYTHING I don't absolutely love, and I have been asked more than a few times to use my success story as an advertisement for products I would not have any part in.
Honestly, this body is
along with all of the supplements and healthy food I put in it!
One of the BEST ways to stick with your new lifestyle, as I've said is to drink protein shakes as a meal, when you are on the go, to refuel before or after a workout or late at night instead of another choice you might regret later on. I have tasted ALL of the shakes on the market and they are all pretty much the same, some a little better than others due to higher sugar content, but they all are pretty ugh. I honestly stopped supplementing as much because it all tastes kinda crappy until someone introduced me to Shakeology by Beachbody. I LOVE IT! It tastes just like a milk shake and fills me up for hours. I take it before my workouts as breakfast and sometimes during the day if I am extra hungry in between meals. I like the chocolate flavor; I add it to 12 oz of fat free milk and also add a tablespoon of all natural peanut butter. DELICIOUS! Not only does it taste great but can;t help but be impressed by all of the added nutrients and vitamins that normal protein blends do not contain. You don't have to take my word for it, try it yourself and if you don't like it, you can return your unused portion for a FULL refund. This company really stands behind their products.
You can go to my personal beach body website and purchase your 1st months worth now.
You will notice a difference in how you feel after you start it, although most people notice a difference after a month, some see improvements in energy levels prior to that. Take the Beach body challenge and I will be here to answer questions you have or give you advice.
Just as a reminder, we don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great!
Love, Brianna
