FREE 21 Day Fix!

Who doesn't like free things? I know I do! I believe in the 21 Day Fix so much that I am willing to give you a FREE copy of the 21 Day Fix! That's right, YOU can get a copy of the 21 Day Fix for free. Since Shakeology is such an important component to the 21 Day Fix, those that purchase the 21 Day Fix Challenge Pack from me will get reimbursed BY ME for the cost of the 21 Day Fix. What does that mean? You will only be paying for the Shakeology - the healthiest meal of the day, the most delicious shake I have ever drank, superfood packed, nutrient dense, meal replacement shake! There is a bottom of the bag, 30 day money back guarantee with Shakeology. If you aren't 100% satisfied, you can always return it for a full refund. Since this program is only 21 days, why not give it a shot? What do you have to lose?

What do you get with the challenge pack? You get all the containers that help you with portion control, eating plan, 7 workouts, extra workout DVD, 1:1 support, motivation, accountability, help with meal planning, healthy recipes, ME as your FREE coach! I will also put you in a private Facebook group with others going "The Fix" where the camaraderie between challengers helps you reach your goals! Challenge groups provide you with a place where you can freely share your struggles, successes (both scale and non scale), and gain new friendships.  Whether you are a fitness lover or a beginner, the 21 Day Fix is a perfect fit. Modifications to each exercise are great for beginners, but it is also great at pushing those further along on their fitness journey.  And, it is great for guys, too! Most people think that this program is just for the ladies, but trust me, it is perfect for guys as well.

Confession: I have been slacking on my eating and working out, but that ends TODAY! I started the 21 Day Fix again because I need the extra accountability to help me get back on track. With this free offer, what do you have to lose?

Whether you have 20 (or more) pounds to lose, or just 10 pounds, heck, maybe all you need is the portion control containers to help you tone up, I want YOU in my next challenge group. Due to the popularity of this program and this offer, I am only taking the next 5 people who message me or order the challenge pack through me. If you are ready to get started, click here to get your challenge pack today!

Update On My Life - Back to Basics With the 21 Day Fix

Here is an update with what all has been going on in my life these past few months.

I have been off social media for a while, and I really appreciate all of the messages from everyone asking if I am okay because you haven't seen me online in a while. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am fine. I just have a lot going on in my life right now and have some tough decisions ahead of me to make. Nothing serious, so no need to worry! :) With that being said, I will tell you that I started a job that has kept me very busy, I have been trying to conduct research so I can write a paper that will hopefully get published, and my dad has been suffering from some medical issues. That has taken up a lot of my time and has had me stressed to the max for a while.

Even though I have been very busy, I have been working out everyday, drinking my shakeology, and trying to eat as healthy as I can. I am trying not to sabotage myself that way. Stress usually makes me want to eat ALL THE TIME, eat foods that are bad for me, and hide from everything. With the exception of the later, I have not eaten terribly (with the exception a the occasional ice cream), and have eaten fairly clean and healthy because I plan out all of my meals.

Exercise really is good for the soul. It allows me time to focus on me and what all I can do in situations that I can control. Everything else, I can just pray things work out the way they are meant to.  I usually take it easy on Sundays with my workouts to allow my body time to rest. So, instead of working out today, I spent the day with my husband and mother-in-law fishing.
I am not a "girlie girl" by any means, but I HATE things slimy. When the day started, they were the ones baiting my hook and taking the fish off for me haha. By the end of the day, I was doing it all by myself! :) It was nice to take the day and just do something relaxing for a change, instead of going 100 miles an hour all the time.

On to the point of this post. Accountability and support are the keys to my success in everything I do - working out, school work, my job, every aspect of my life. I would not be where I am today without the support of my family and friends and the accountability I take for my won decisions and for my Beachbody family when it comes to my health.  I say Beachbody family because that is what it is. We are a family - we support one another, we are a shoulder to lean on when we are feeling down, we are motivators to one another. Without the support of my Beachbody coach and other coaches on the team, I would not have been able to be as successful in my weight loss journey as I have been. The constant encouragement, pep talks, guidance, support, motivation, etc. has been what has made me reach goal after goal.

I have been on Shakeology for almost a year, and have been doing Beachbody workout since September 2014. Since then, I have lost about 75 pounds! Yes, you read that correctly. 75 POUNDS!! But, it isn't about what I have lost. It is about what I have GAINED! My confidence and self-esteem are at an all time high! Being able to see results is what motivates me to keep working towards my goals. This is what also DRIVES me to help as many others reach their health and fitness goals as I can.

You know what? It all started with a decision to TRY! Give it 21 days to see if the program worked. I will be honest, I was skeptical that I would be starving on this program. I could not have been more wrong! I was never hungry! I remember thinking to myself, "There is no way that I can lose weight eating this much food!" It isn't the amount of food that you eat, it is the quality of food. Eating healthy allows you to eat more food, and eating every 2-3 hours keeps your metabolism revved up. That's the key to success. The 21 Day Fix is my all-time favorite program because IT WORKS! Plain and simple. The support from the challenge group makes you want to do your best.

Why not you? Why not give yourself the opportunity to create a new lifestyle? It is only 21 days. You can do anything for 21 days! Trust me on this! I will help you make your meal plans, help hold you accountable, provide you with support, and give you a place where you can be you without worrying about how people will react. Everyone has a bad day, and with the challenge group, we support each other and help you stay on track. Everyone deserves to have some "ME TIME." The workouts in this program are only 30 minutes (2% of your day). You don't have to be in peak performance to do these workouts. They are for every fitness level. Anybody can do it! Join me for my next challenge group, starting June 22nd! Help hold me accountable with my health, and I promise to do the same for you! Limited spots available, so hurry up and reserve yours before they are all gone!

MY Transformation - So Far!

I was hesitant about using myself for my Transformation Tuesday, but when I was comparing pictures of myself over the past year, I decided, why not? Since July, I have lost 60 pounds! That was when I started to drink Shakeology daily and workout regularly.  I know it isn't about the number of pounds lost, but more importantly how I feel. And I feel GREAT! I have so much more energy, I am able to do more physical activities, and I am enjoying feeling healthier.

Chicago, April 2014

I can't believe the difference in myself in less than a year.  Never would I have thought that I would be able to lose weight or keep it off.  It hasn't been easy, but it has definitely been worth the sweat.  I will continue with this journey until I am satisfied with my fitness level, and then I will just work to maintain it.  A few of the biggest reasons that I have been so successful is because of my Beachbody coach, the challenge groups that I participated in as a challenger (and now as a coach), and learning to eat properly.

February 2015

I am signed up for my first 5k in a few weeks, and I am surprised at how much I am able to run.  Weighing what I weigh, running is still a little difficult, but it is getting so much easier.  It will take a lot more training before I am able to run a 5k without having to walk parts of it, but one day I WILL be able to do that!  I believe setting goals is what helps keep your motivated, and I have weekly and monthly goals that are constantly changing as my fitness level improves.

I used to only eat 2, maybe 3 times a day because I was trying to limit my calories.  What I should have been doing was eating 5-6 times a day, every 2-3 hours to help keep my metabolism revved.  I know this now, and that is what I try to do.  Eating less puts your body in starvation mode, which will make it want to hang on to everything it can when you feed it because it doesn't know when it will get food again.  Eating every 2-3 hours keeps you fuller longer and prevents your body from going into starvation mode.

Here is an example of what a typical day of eating is like for me:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with honey, cinnamon, and a diced apple
Snack: Greek yogurt, veggies
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with light dressing
Snack: Shakeology with a banana, PB 2, and sometimes spinach
Dinner: Lean grilled meat (fish, chicken, venison, etc.), brown rice, veggies

Eating healthy is 80% of the battle.  Once you get your nutrition under control, the rest will happen naturally.  Do you have what it takes to be the best version of yourself? I have a support/challenge group starting on March 16th, and I want you to joint me! Are you in? Email me at: keilamccracken@yahoo.com with the subject: I'm In For March 16th!

Kayla's Transformation!

AHHH! I am so excited for this transformation!!

Kayla and I have been best friends since we met in Kindergarten over 25 years ago.  We have been there to support and encourage each other over the years, and I consider her a sister.  although we now live about 8 hours apart, we are still there for one another.

Kayla has always been fairly active, being around animals her entire life.  She is currently a vet tech, owns 2 gorgeous dogs and a horse, and is married to her high school sweetheart! Like a lot of people, sometimes workouts and healthy eating aren't always a top priority, but once Kayla started making them a priority again, she began seeing incredible results!  Here is her story.

Kayla started out doing T25 several months ago, but got frustrated once she hit a plateau.  She needed a little boost to get her over it so she could continue losing weight and reach her goal.  She reached out to me about Shakeology, the 3 Day Refresh, and asked to join one of my challenge groups to see if that would help.  In early January, she completed the 3 Day Refresh and began drinking Shakeology.  She has not only broken through her plateau, but has lost enough weight to almost make it to her goal ahead of schedule!  This girl is a rock star!

She has been rocking the challenge groups! Kayla not only posts daily about how she did on her food, workout, and Shakeology, but she also is a great inspiration, supporter and motivator to the other challengers.  Being in the challenge groups really helps to keep you motivated to reach your goals.  It is also a place you can go to vent if you are having a bad day, and get picked up by those who are going through the same struggles as you.  I am so proud to not only have Kayla as a challenger, but also as a great friend.

I'm not going to post specific numbers because Kayla is not quite where she wants to be yet, but she will be soon.  Since starting T25, she has lost a total of 25 pounds and 16.5 total inches! AMAZING! Kayla, you are killing it! Keep up the fantastic work!

If you want to have success like Kayla, join me in one of my challenge groups! I would love to work with you!

Progress: Weeks 3 & 4

I continue to feel really great with this program!  The moves are getting easier, and I can feel myself getting stronger.  I am down a total of 13 pounds in the first month (Phase A) and a total of 10 inches.  My husband continues to comment on how strong I am getting and is seeing more definition in my arms, legs, and back.  I love the confidence I am gaining in myself!

I am excited to start Phase B and see what results I can get from that.  For the next month, I will be switching things up and doing Sculpt 3 days a week and Sweat 2 days a week.  I want to get stronger and feel as though switching things up will help me reach my goal faster.

As a way to celebrate my birthday and new lifestyle, I signed up for my first ever 5k race! I am going to try and run as much as possible, so I will need to start training for that in conjunction with using P90. I am excited and nervous to do this, but it has been on my bucket list for a while, and I finally feel like I am able to complete it. 

If you would like to join me and start a fitness journey of your own, comment below, email me, for fill out the form below and I would love to help you!

FREE Clean Eating Group Starting Soon!

If the winter has you down and your eating is all out of whack, join us to help you get some pep back in your step!  My team and I will be hosting a FREE Clean Eating group (a private Facebook group) starting February 2!  We will discuss what clean eating is all about, why it is so important, as well as provide you with health AND delicious recipes, meal planning tips and tricks, support, and accountability.



It's January and summer feels so far away. Maybe you made a New Year’s resolution to get healthier and fitter, but don’t know where to begin. Maybe you started off strong at the beginning of January, but now motivation has waned, as the cold and snow has set in. Summer is 5 months away, the winter blues have set it, and maybe you feel your healthy goals can wait a bit.


Why wait?  Why not tackle them now, and chase away those winter blues! If you need a little extra motivation, inspiration and excitation (or a lot!), join my free 7 day clean eating group. Many people come to me wanting assistance with clean eating basics, fitness and how to get started.  

It is hard to kick some of my previous bad habits like drinking pop, carb overload and pizza addiction!  It was hard to cut out the cream and sugar in my coffee and to find recipes that we both enjoyed.  So this was a whole new ball game for me.  Yes it did take me time to understand but I was determined to change my body more than I wanted to stay the same!

What are the requirements?


1.  You must make me your official Beachbody Coach by going to my site and creating a FREE profile.  This way I can send you recipes, meal plans and monthly motivation and tips to keep you on track with your lifestyle.
2.  You must participate for the next 7 days in our online closed facebook group each day!  
3.  Commit to checking in 1x per day, rating your day and charting your progress.
4.  Invite 1-2 friends to join!  Why not bring a few friends along for the ride! There is nothing better than having an accountability partner in the next 7 days!!!!  You are more likely to stick with it if you have someone by your side.



What do you get for joining? 


1.  You get a free 7 day meal plan.
2.  A grocery list
3. A place to check in daily, ask questions, get support and motivation.
4.  Daily tips that have worked for me.
5.  Strategies to handle emotional eating and temptations.
Are you ready to get started?  We will begin the group on Monday, February 2 so please reserve your spot today!


Joining is easy.  Leave a message below or email me at keila_mccracken@yahoo.com about your interest to join, and I will be happy to help you get back on track!

21 Day Fix Extreme



UPDATED!!!

I just had the privilege of trying the Dirty 30 from the 21 Day Fix Extreme.  All I can say is, "WOW!!" Saying that I am beyond ecstatic for this new program to be released is a HUGE understatement! Today was the official release of the 21 Day Fix Extreme challenge packs!! Reserve you spot in my upcoming challenge group starting February 15th! Get yours spot before they are all gone.  If I can get 20 challengers for this group, I will put everyone's name in a hat a draw a random winner.  That winner will get a gift card for Amazon!

This program is intense and is not recommended for beginners.  The workouts, 7 total, feature a blend of resistance training, explosive power, and steady-state aerobic moves that target every muscle.  The result? You get shredded, FAST!  Portion control containers help you to eat properly, giving you the best results possible.  This program will take dedication, but I promise you, you will see the results! It is only 21 days. YOU CAN DO THIS!

The original 21 Day Fix was designed to make losing weight simple, but the 21 Day Fix Extreme will get you seriously shredded in the least amount of time possible.  How doesn't have 30 minutes a day to devote to themselves to get healthy? Make yourself a priority for 30 minutes each day, and you won't be disappointed!

Who is this for:

  • Those who have dramatic, short-term weight-loss deadline (wedding, vacation, photo shoot, etc.)
  • 21 Day Fix graduates and graduates of other extreme programs (P90X, INSANITY, FOCUS T25) who are ready for the next phase
  • Those without much weight to lose, but who want to get muscle tone and definition, and those who want to see their abs
  • People who aren't looking to count calories, weigh their food, or follow complicated recipes



If this sounds like something you are looking forward to trying (LIKE ME!), fill out the form below or order through my site: www.teambeachbody.com/keilaorr.
