Super Friday in Pittsburgh

You guys! I can not seriously begin to tell you about this weekend. As I’m sitting here reflecting on everything, my head is spinning, overwhelmed and excited for 2015.

This weekend was a HUGE celebration for our TOP TEAM. Melanie was officially announced TOP coach out of over 260,000 so this was a “no question about it” were going and hello Carl Diakler and Autumn Calabrese were coming to town.

So, Beachbody has these quarterly events all over the US.  Different locations make it fun for everyone. We learn about the upcoming trips, product announcements, and training as well. Afterwards, most do a live workout.

There's my girl, Autumn

This is the second year we have made it to Pittsburgh for this event. We mainly stick in St. Louis for the rest of the years. We traveled last year because Michael Niemand from beachbody corporate was in town to congratulate Melanie on #2 coach and present her trip to Italy.

Talk about a group workout 

We got into town on Friday settled in, and got a quick Max 30 workout in  The Omni in Pittsburgh is absolutely GORGEOUS. One of THE most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. We had a “white out” theme on Friday night for the actual event. All the attendees wore white and the Market council (who put the event together) wore black.  There were over 1,000 people at this event. They shared success stories, shared a 45 minute video of a little training, talked about our trip for 2016, and also announced a little secret that Beachbody will be rolling out later this year (stay tuned).  Melanie was presented, by Carl, with a top coach basket and her trip to Paris later this year. Alyssa Schomaker was also presented with a basket for #9 and her trip to Paris. Guys, these numbers are out of 260,000 coaches. How amazing is that? We have some seriously leaders on our team and we get top notch training as well. After the presentation was over the first 500 people who got a ticket, they got their picture with either Carl or Autumn. Such a hard decision but I chose Carl. I figured I had a better chance of meeting Autumn at Summit or another event. We went on to do a LIVE workout with Autumn from the 21 Day Fix EXTREME that will be releasing February 2^nd.  Such an intense workout for baby and I so we did the EXTRA modified version and did what we could. Still got a great sweat on and got to enjoy it.

Ended with a Q & A session from the top leaders on our team. With this it was so intriguing to hear how Beachbody has changed the lives of these coaches and what their best investment has been.

Q&A with the panel

I cannot wait to pass these tips to my coaches!

We grabbed lunch at this cute little place in the city not far from the hotel, but holy smokes this city is cold.

Saturday Night came with a HUGE celebration at Perle Champagne bar with dessert. We danced and mingled with everyone. It was such a great time.

As I am sitting here in the airport, waiting to board our flight to Chicago, I cannot help but to think abut how amazing beachbody has been to myself, mentally and physically. A passion I never I thought I would find with working in the typical 9-5 corporate world.  Knowing that I am helping transform lives is what I LIVE for. Its not about the paycheck it’s about the messages I get from clients and my team that make me tear up and makes everything so real that I am doing what I was suppose to be doing all my life.

I hope that each and everyone of you that read my blog are following your dreams and have been in touch with your passion and what you are suppose to be doing. It’s such a blessing.

XOXO,

My Journey to Pittsburgh

Hubby & I after our INSANITY workout

I never thought a little dream I had would turn into something so big and something that would take me all the way to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Team Beachbody Holds quarterly event for the public to attend called Super Saturday. At this event, they give regniniton along with introducing new products that may be rolling out or announcing trips for the upcoming year.



Tracie & 1 working hard during the workout

This is my second Super Saturday I attended since joining the team. I decided to drag my husband up to Pittsburgh where my success partner joined us as well. I have never been and the city is BEAUTIFUL! Coming from the Midwest and all I see is flat land, the rolling hills and mountains were beautiful.

Michael Neimand from corporate was their

We ventured up Mount Washington which was right across from our hotel. Just breathtaking. We did venture to a few local bars to get a feel for the town.

Then came Saturday, I finally saw MY coach in person for the first time ever. After talking on the phone, texting, and Facebook messaging for 6 months, I was so excited yet nervous.

A few exciting things from Super Saturday event:

Sampled the Strawberry Shakeology which was released Monday, January 13th......it was delicious!

21 Day Fix will be available through ME on February 3rd....can't wait to try this program out.

We got to hear 2 amazing transformation stories form ladies that battled depression, miscarriages, and how they found themselves through Beachbody and their coach. Tear jerker for sure.

Also got to hear a 5 Star Diamond coach speak about being a coach.

                   








Live INSANITY workout was....well INSANE!

I was able to meet several of the Diamond coaches that are on my team. I hear and see their names all the time but have NEVER met them either. I have never met more genuine  people before. My husband was able to talk with several of the other coaches husband's and check out their experience as their wives support system. I think he finally was able to see how much I really LOVE this business.





Sunday came and it was time to make the 9 hour drive back to St. Louis. My head has been spinning and full of ideas since Saturday. This event was truly amazing and life changing. I cant wait to see my team again in LAS VEGAS for SUMMIT in June!


































Until next time friends.

Week 2: P90x3 Progress update

Well, week 2 is done and I thought it would’ve been better. My mom had a hip replacement on Tuesday so my time was spent with her at the hospital along with a trip to Pittsburgh which we left Friday and just got back in town this afternoon. So needless to say we’ve had a crazy busy week.

X3 Yoga

Here is what my workout scheduled looked like for this week:

Monday: Accelerator

Tuesday: The Warrior

Wednesday: Yoga

Thursday: CVX

Friday: Isometrix

Saturday: Agility X

Sunday: Rest Or Dynamix

 

I was only able to complete my workouts on Monday, Thursday morning, AND a live INSANITY workout on Saturday for Super Saturday. After working all day and then visiting my mom in the hospital, I was downright EXHAUSTED. My body was tired. I laid in bed one night asking myself if I am just making an excuse for me not to workout but I knew I had to listen to my body and get the rest it needed. I am normally the type of person to run dry and keep going but I just couldn't go any further last week.

Here is what my meal plan looked like for this past week as well. You can tell I don't really like to change things up a bit for my snacks and breakfast. Anything that we don't make the previous week I will plan on making that for the following week.

I meal plan on Saturday or Sunday's then I hit the grocery store usually on Sunday afternoons after church. I will then meal prep Sunday afternoon's and I pack everything to take to work Monday morning so I have everything there in my desk. It makes it SO much easier to stay on track when I do that.


Once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature to you.

Happy Sunday Everyone.  Its bed time for our house.
