Now that Easter has come and gone, did you find yourself indulging in a few too many sweets and treats like me? Now you are feeling bloated and sluggish and wondering what you can do to get yourself back on track. I can help! My team is hosting a 14 day clean eating support/accountability group where we will provide you will tools to help kick off your summer body! As a bonus, we are giving away TWO gift cards to random participants in the group. What do you have to lose?

As part of this requirement, we are requiring the purchase of a 30 supply of Shakeology.  Why, do you ask? Shakeology is packed full of dense daily nutrition that provide your body with the needed nutrients to function properly.  I have been drinking Shakeology daily for about 8 months now, and have noticed my energy has increased, my sweet cravings have significantly decreased, my skin looks better, and my body digests food better.  Shakeology also comes with a 30 day money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.  So you really have nothing to lose!  Well, except for a few pounds and some extra inches ;)

As part of this month's challenge group, we are giving away a $25 Amazon gift card.  We will do a random drawing of everyone's names in the group to pick the winner.  We are also giving away a second $25 Amazon gift card to everyone who refers a challenger to the group.  Doing things with friends makes it more fun, so come one, come all! If you refer 5 people, your name will be entered 5 times.  I will also personally give away $10 to every participant who purchases the 3 Day Refresh Challenge Pack.  We want this group to be fun, informative, and a great learning opportunity for all of you.  

We will kick off April 20th, 2015, but we only have a limited number of spots available! Leave a comment here, check out my Facebook page, or email me to reserve your spot before it is gone!

Why I am a Beachbody Coach

This question has come up several times for me, "Why are you a Beachbody coach?" I am going to spend some time today to answer that question as honestly as I can.

I have been overweight practically my entire life.  I was active (and good at them too!) in sports throughout high school, but I was still the fat kid. I tried working out and losing weight, but nothing seemed to work.  I would get winded walking up flights of stairs, to the cafeteria, practically anywhere I went.  I was ashamed
of how I looked and how I dressed.  I didn't care about myself enough to treat my body the way it deserved.  I never wore makeup and always wore men's clothes.  They just fit better than the more form fitting women's clothes.

By the time I went to college, my self-esteem was at an all-time low.  I was afraid of showing my feelings when I was around others, and would often times cry in my bedroom at night because I was so unhappy with myself and my body.  I know I needed to make a change, but I wasn't motivated to do so, even though I was going to school to be a Health and Physical Education TEACHER!  I picked up a waitressing job to try and get me to be more outgoing, and I was often referred to as the "big girl with a pretty face" by the customers.  The older customers, in particular, were very open about telling me I needed to lose weight.  That only pissed me off further, but I would smile and say, "I know...I am working on it."  In reality, I was doing nothing of the sort.

I know what it is like to be picked on from a very young age for being overweight/fat/heavy/big boned.  Whatever you want to call it.  People think they are helping you by bringing attention to your less than perfect body, but what they are really doing is making you feel more and more depressed.  I would keep everything bottled up inside me, and would often times starve myself during the day and not eat anything until dinner, when I would binge.  I thought cutting calories all day and eating at night would be a good way to lose weight.  It only made things worse.  For years and years I did this.  I was also an emotional eater, and still am to an extent, but now I am cognizant of that and try not to be as destructive to myself.

Fast forward 8 years out of college, and not much had changed.  The one thing that did change is that I was finally ready to make those changes.  THAT WAS HUGE! In order to be successful in your endeavors, you have to want it bad enough.  That goes for anything, not just weight loss.  I decided to give Beachbody and Shakeology a try, and I fell in love! Challenge groups were the keys to my success in losing weight.  These groups held me accountable for actually working out, eating right, and living a healthy lifestyle.  I learned so much from my coach and had such great success that I wanted to pay it forward and help others.  That is why I became a Beachbody coach.

My body image of myself was nonexistent.  I hated my body, I hated myself.  I thought that no matter what I did, I was very ugly and very fat.  I still struggle with body image, and probably always will, but I can see a change in myself, and I am so much happier than I have been in years.  My husband is my rock, my biggest fan, supporter, and motivator.  He never once doubted me or my abilities, and for that, I am forever thankful.

I want to help those, who are in a similar situation that I was, and still am to an extent.  I know what you are going through because I have been there myself.  I think that is what makes me a good coach -  my passion for helping those who need it the most.  I'm not saying that I am finished with my fitness journey...not by a long shot, but I am continuing to work towards my goals.  What I am asking you is: ARE YOU READY TO JOIN ME? If you are, fill out the form below, send me a friend request on Facebook, leave a comment, or send me an email: keilaorr@gmail.com.  My next challenge group starts April 6th!

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

I had started to plateau with my weight loss again and was feeling down and a bit sluggish.  In one of the challenge groups that I am participating in, someone had mentioned doing the 3 day cleanse with shakeology.  I have wanted to try it for a few months, but never went through with it.  Last week a group of women completed it together and saw great results!  So, this week another group of us women are going it.  I will be completely honest with you - it is tough!  If I wasn't home all day, it may be easier, but being home, especially with a sick husband, it is tough to not snack or have a bite of what he is eating.

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse:

In essence, you have 3 Shakeology shakes a day, 2 cups of green tea, 1 piece of fruit, a salad (3 cups of veggies, 4 oz. of grilled chicken or fish, light dressing such as olive oil and vinegar), and at least 64 ounces of water.  I try to drink a gallon a day, minimum.  Do this each day for 3 days.

I did not get measurements of pictures before day 1, but I did weigh myself.  I will weigh myself each morning to see what happens.

An example of my days:

Day 1:

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: 1st Shake with 1 banana, 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend all and enjoy!
Snack: 1 orange
Lunch: 2nd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!
Mid Afternoon: Green Tea
Dinner: Salad (3 cups total of salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers) with light dressing (only used 2 teaspoons), piece of grilled fish (Swai).
Snack: 3rd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!

TIP: Throughout the day: DRINK WATER! It will help curb your appetite a little bit.

Salad with grilled Swai

How I felt: 

I felt pretty good after day 1.  I was a little hungry throughout the day, but I am also used to eating every 2-3 hours (about 2,200 calories a day).  There were times that I got hungry, so I had to preoccupy myself until the hunger passed.  They say you can continue to workout while doing the 3 day Shakeology cleanse, but I did not workout today, aside from a walk with my husband and dog in the afternoon.

Day 2:

Well, I weighed myself in the morning, and am happy to report that I am down 2.5 pounds already!  I was feeling tired and had a slight headache.

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: 1st Shake with 1 banana, 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend all and enjoy!
Snack: 1 orange
Lunch: 2nd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!
Mid Afternoon: Green Tea
Dinner: Salad (3 cups total of salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers) with light dressing (only used 2 teaspoons), piece of grilled chicken.
Snack: 3rd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!

TIP: Throughout the day: DRINK WATER! It will help curb your appetite a little bit.

How I felt: 

I felt pretty good after day 2. I was a little more tired than usual, but it wasn't anything too bad.  I was feeling hungrier than I did on Day 1, so I made my salad a little earlier in the day.  No real workout either, just a walk around town to get out and soak up some sunshine...cold sunshine, but sunshine nonetheless :)  Hoping for a strong Day 3!

Day 3:

Well, I weighed myself in the morning, and am happy to report that I am down 6.5 pounds in two days!  I was still feeling tired, but my headache was gone.

Wake up: Green Tea
Breakfast: 1st Shake with 1 banana, 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend all and enjoy!
Snack: 1 orange
Lunch: 2nd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!
Mid Afternoon: Green Tea
Dinner: Salad (3 cups total of salad greens, tomatoes, cucumbers) with light dressing (only used 2 teaspoons), piece of grilled fish (Swai).
Snack: 3rd Shake with 12 oz. of water, 7 ice cubes.  Blend and Enjoy!

TIP: Throughout the day: DRINK WATER! It will help curb your appetite a little bit.

How I felt: 

I felt pretty good after day 3.

Day 4:

Well, I weighed myself in the morning, and am happy to report that I am down 9.5 pounds in three days! CLEANSE IS DONE! Time for whole food again!  This cleanse was a test of my willpower and determination. However, I was determined to stay on track and get over my plateau!  I won't lie, it was a tough 3 days, but it was also very worth it.
