I Was Bullied in Elementary School - My Story

Time for me to be 100% honest with all of you. I have struggled with my weight all my life - no surprise there! But those struggles also run deep emotionally. Being the "fat kid" makes you the target for bullies. What I am about to share with you is something that I have never shared with anyone, ever. But, it needs to be shared. Not everyone has a support system they can turn to when they are facing bullies, or they don't know what to do when they are being bullied. You don't think there  is anything you can do, so you just keep everything to yourself.

When I was in elementary school, yes, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, I was picked on because of my weight. Even in middle school I was. But elementary school? I know kids can be mean, and a random comment here or there about my weight never really affected me. What truly hurt was this one person repeatedly doing it. They weren't even in my grade, so I didn't know why they even paid attention. It always happened at recess. I would get made fun of because I wasn't fast, or I couldn't run as far, etc., but I never said anything to the kid. But the comments really hurt me. I remember going home and crying because I wasn't "skinny" because I thought I wasn't good at anything. It really gave me a complex at an early age, not to mention body image issues that I still struggle with, and probably always will.

If I could talk to this person today, I don't even know what I would say. I would like to think that I have put the past behind me and all the comments have made me a stronger person, but I would be lying. I still think back to those times on the playground and wonder what it would have been like if I was skinny. Being picked on is something that a lot of kids have to endure, and it shouldn't be that way. You NEVER know what the other person is going through, so you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. I never had the courage or confidence to stand up for myself. Confidence is something that I continue to struggle with, but I am working on it and have significantly increased my self-confidence over the past year.

April 2014

A year ago, I decided I wanted, heck, even NEEDED a change. That is when I decided that my health was important and decided to give Beachbody a shot! This was one of the best decisions I have ever made.  If I would have had the confidence back then that I have now, I don't know if it would have had the same effect on me. Yes, it still bothers me, but it is in my past and I WILL NOT let if hold me back from reaching my goals! I think this experience has made me more compassionate and understanding, not only as a person, but also as a coach. I know what some of my challengers are going through, and I can relate to them. No, I'm not that kid anymore, but I have grown into someone who wants to pay it forward and help as many in a similar situation as I was to reach their goals. I understand my challengers on a different level than most coaches. I'm still not the skinny person people expect fitness coaches to be, but I am a fitter, healthier person than I have ever been because of my decision to give Beachbody a try.

April 2015

Whether you are a teenager, adult, whatever, and you are being bullied, just know that there are people in your lives that are willing to help you. Just have enough strength to go and talk to someone. Don't let the bullies get to you. You are strong and your life is worth living.

If you are ready to make positive changes in your life, then join me in my next challenge group! I would love to have you and get to know your story!

Sara's Transformation!!

I would like everyone to meet Sara! Sara started her journey with the 21 Day Fix in May in our Fit Mommas challenge group. She absolutely ROCKED it! The support and accountability in the group is what helped her stay on track - daily motivation, accountability, support, healthy recipes, and a place to share your struggles of the day. The 21 Day Fix is the type of program that allows busy moms to be able to workout every day - workouts are only 30 minutes long, eat a healthy, clean diet - portion control containers help with showing you how much you should be eating, and provide you with the tools necessary to plan your meals ahead of time so you don't have excuses on why you can't live a healthy lifestyle. It is only 21 days long, long enough for you to create new, healthier habits. 

In these 21 days, you can lose up to 15 pounds, depending on your body and how much you can afford to lose.  BUT, it isn't about the number of pounds you have lost or the number of inches you have lost. What it is about, is the confidence, physical strength, and a healthier mindset you gain that will help you continue your journey. Sara's before and after photos show a drastic difference in her appearance, and the smile on her face shows how much happier she is after her first 21 days of being on this program. I remember her sharing a "Flex Friday" picture and she was EXTREMELY EXCITED to see some muscle definition! This is motivation enough to keep pursuing your journey. Being a mom, wife and working full time, taking those 30 minutes for herself, Sara was able to create a new lifestyle for herself! That's all it takes - 30 minutes a day, planning your meals, and being committed to this new lifestyle. During the challenge group, Sara was very involved, posting multiple times a day to help keep herself accountable. We are all in there to support, motivate, and help each other reach your goals!

I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF YOU, SARA!

Since completing her first round of the Fix, Sara had decided to become a Beachbody coach herself and start the 21 Day Fix Extreme after she does the 3 Day Refresh! I am so excited to have Sara on the team! She will be a great role model and mentor to everyone she works with! Sara is just one of many success stories from the 21 Day Fix. With the popularity of this program, I run monthly 21 Day Fix Challenge groups. If this is something that you may be interested, join me in my next challenge group starting June 22nd! Just send me a message, or fill out the form below, and I will help you get started!  The body achieves what the mind believes.

Fit Mommas Support Group

This post is directed specifically to mothers! ***DISCLAIMER - - I AM NOT A MOTHER*** With that being said, I am a mom to a fur baby, Geno :) I know it isn't the same as having children, but I can somewhat relate to you.  I have seen this so many times that once you become a mother, you don't make yourself as much as a priority as maybe you should. You have less time on yourself because you want to make your child(ren) your top priority. I get it! I do! But, I also think that making yourself a priority is just as important. In order for you to be the best mom to your child(ren), you, yourself, need to be the best you can be.  What am I getting at?

I am hosting a support group specifically for mothers (either of human babies or fur babies) to help you make yourself a priority. This group is a private Facebook group that I will add you to so that you will receive one on one support from me on ways to make healthier lifestyle choices while guiding you through a workout program of your choice. I have a background in health and teaching, so I try to implement what I have learned into all of my challenge groups.  My goal for this group is to let you moms know that it is OKAY to take time for yourself each day. Even just 30 minutes.  You shouldn't have to feel guilty about this. I want to help you!

I will offer you tips and tricks for busy moms who need quick, easy, healthy recipes that are family friendly. I love to cook, so I am always coming up with new recipes! :) I will also provide motivation, support, accountability, and a gentle nudge if needed to help you reach your goals. Whether your goal is to lose baby weight, gain energy, eat better, whatever the case may be, I can help you.

With Mother's Day coming up, I am offering a chance to win an Amazon Gift card to my challengers who refers new qualifying challengers to participate in this group. Here is the catch: you and those you refer must purchase a challenge pack from me. I will add you to the group, and for each referral, your name will get entered. If you refer 5 people, you get 5 chances to win. Working out is more fun when you have friends or family there supporting and encouraging you! If you, or someone you know is interested in joining this group, fill out the form below! Why not you?

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

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!

Progress - Weeks 5 & 6

Weeks 5 & 6 were a bit hectic for me.  I know that I could have put forth more effort during my workouts, and I even skipped a few.  However, I am in the process of training for my first ever 5K on March 14th, and spent a lot of time shoveling snow.

With that being said, I am continuing to get stronger each day, and am continuing to lose weight.  I am down a total of 20 pounds on P90 and still have one month to go!  Today starts Phase C, and I have not done my workout yet.  I will as soon as I finish this post.

Phase B - I'm glad it is over, but I am also thinking I should extend it a week or two.  I am able to almost do full pushups now :) and I don't need the modifications for any of the moves anymore.  That is proof in and of itself that my strength is continuing to increase.  I like variety in my workouts, and with this program, it is the same 2 workouts that alternate each day.  That is my only complaint.

Ab Ripper B was intense, but I made sure I got it in at least 4 times a week.  I am beginning to see my middle becoming more defined, especially my upper abs.  I can feel the outline of my obliques, and have a slimmer core.  I may eventually have abs!!! Once I get the rest of this excess weight off, that is!

I could not be happier with my progress so far with Beachbody.   Since starting my Beachbody and Shakeology journey, I am down a total of 60 pounds! I don't think I could have done this without the help of my Beachbody coach, and the support groups that I have participated in.  This is what drives me to want to help others reach their fitness goal! So they, too, can feel this excitement that I feel with my progress so far.

If you are interested in joining my next support group, fill out the application below, or send an email to keilaorr@gmail.com.  I would love to help you work towards your fitness goals!

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!

Brides-To-Be Fitness Challenge

As some of you may know, I am a newlywed (I got married in October 2014) so I know the challenges brides go through leading up to their wedding, especially for those DIY brides.  You focus a lot of your time to make sure every detail will go as you plan, that you won't disappoint your guests, that everything gets done on time, trying to find time to exercise so you look great in your dress, etc. Trust me, I was the same way! Want to know a secret? Things will go wrong.  It happens.  You have to to roll with the punches.  Let's face it, people are going to judge things regardless of how perfect your wedding goes.  Working out and eating healthy should absolutely be part of your wedding planning, but is often forgotten. Let me help you find a workout program geared for your needs!

What I am proposing to all of you brides-to-be is to join me in my challenge group.  What is a challenge group, you may ask? A challenge group is a private Facebook group that I have every month for all of my challengers who purchase a challenge pack from me.  In these challenge groups, I am there to help motivate you, provide support and accountability, offer advice, provide healthy recipes, sample meal plans, and a place for my challengers (YOU!) with a place to share with me and the other challengers how your day went.  This is a FREE perk of getting a challenge pack.  Think of this as a place where people are going through a similar situation as yourself, and where you can vent if you need to, share secrets to planning your wedding, gaining great support, motivation and friends along the way.

Since this challenge group is different than any of the other ones I have done, I am limiting it to brides-to-be, and any members of the wedding party.  I can do a separate challenge group for grooms-to-be and male wedding party members if there is enough interest.  Maybe the brides want to challenge their grooms to a pre-wedding fitness challenge?!

When planning your wedding, sometimes working out gets pushed to the side, if you have time for it.  I will admit, I didn't seriously start working out until 4 months prior to my wedding.  I walked/jogged outside when the weather permitted over the summer, usually after work.  I only lost about 15 pounds over the course of 3 months of working out.  About a month before my wedding, I was contacted by my current Beachbody coach about trying the 21 Day Fix.  I knew my nutrition was preventing me from losing weight, so I figured, "What do I have to lose?" I gave it a shot, and in those 21 days, I lost an additional 13 pounds and 18 total inches.

When I first bought my wedding dress, I didn't need to make any alterations.  One August day, my sister-in-law was adamant that I try on my dress again.  Well, it needed major alterations.  Thankfully, a family member of mine is a seamstress and was able to make the necessary alterations, and my dress was a little snug.  I was fine with that because I was about to start the 21 Day Fix and was sure I would lose a few pounds doing it.  However, I did not know how much I would actually lose.  I picked up my wedding dress 2 days prior to my wedding and was happy with how it fit.

To make a long story short, don't wait until the last possible moment to start "Sweating for the Wedding."  Reserve your spot today in my challenge group!  Beachbody has the 21 Day Fix and the brand new 21 Day Fix Extreme challenge packs on sale all month (February 2015).  Are you ready to start "Sweating for the Wedding?"  I would love to help you reach your goals! Fill out the form below, email, or comment below to reserve your spot before it's gone!

Happy Wedding Planning!!

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.

I look forward to working with you all to help you reach your fitness goals!

My P90 Journey - Days 1 & 2

I started a new workout program yesterday, January 5th, 2015.  I have decided to do the Sweat (cardio based) Schedule since I still have a lot of weight to lose to reach my goal.  I was very excited to start this program because I was needing a change in my workouts.  This schedule consists of 3 days of Sweat workouts in conjunction with the Ab Ripper exercises, 2 days of Sculpt workouts, the Saturday Special, and a rest day Sunday (I think I will do some type of workout with my husband).

Day 1 - Sweat A and Ab Ripper A
I will be honest with you...I was not thrilled with this workout.  I don't know if I was underestimating my physical abilities, or what, but I thought the Sweat A workout was fairly easy.  Yes, I was sweating, had my heart rate up almost the entire time, and was breathing hard, but I was expecting a little more of a challenge.  Maybe I just need to go a little harder, or maybe I just need to jump up to the Sweat B workouts.  As for Ab Ripper A, it was a nice change up from 10 Minute Abs from the 21 Day Fix.  My major complaint with this ab workout is that Tony goes right into the different exercises without showing you what to do.  So, you lose a few reps while you watch what to do before you can do the move properly.  I have a similar complaint with the Sweat A workout as well.  I am used to the 21 Day Fix workouts where Autumn demonstrates the moves beforehand so you know what to do before the 60 seconds begin.  Since I will be doing these exercises three times a week, I will get the flow of the routine down and won't need to be reminded of how to do the moves.  But, before that happens, it would have been nice.  I was barely sore today from yesterday's workout, so I was hoping today's would be better.

Day 2 - Sculpt A
This workout was awesome! I did it at 8:00 this morning and am already feeling the effects of it, some sore muscles right now!  This workout consisted of a lot of isometric exercises, and after today, I am excited to see how much my strength improves over the next 88 days.  Tony spent a few seconds to explain how to properly do each of the moves today, a nice change from yesterday.  I am really feeling as though this program will help me reach my fitness goals for the next 3 months.

As 2015 begins, resolutions to become healthier also begin.  Who wouldn't want to make their top priority their health? I do, and I am! I have learned through my weight loss journey that it takes time, commitment, dedication, and most of all SUPPORT to help you reach your goal! I am grateful for my Beachbody family and the support and motivation they provide me on a daily basis.  Without this, I would have quit a long time ago.

I am the type of person who likes instant gratification.  Reaching my fitness goals is far from that!  My Beachbody family, as well as my husband, have been there day in and day out supporting, pushing, motivating, and giving me a gentle kick in the butt when needed to get back on track.  I am not saying I have been perfect, but I have been giving it my all to reach my goals.  If I miss a workout one day, I double up the next day.  During the holidays, I even doubled up on my workouts each day to combat the snacking that inevitably took place.

Knowing your weaknesses and knowing what you can do to overcome them is the first step in reaching your goals.  For me, it is chocolate, hands down!  My husband is such a great support and accountability partner for me because he makes me realize that the candy bar that I really WANT to buy is not something that I NEED to buy.  Then he proceeds to remind me of the number of burpees that I will have to do to burn off the calories from said candy bar (I HATE BURPEES!).

During my 21 Day Fix journey, I was constantly reminded that reaching your goals is 80% food and 20% exercise.  I didn't really know how that could be true since I had always assumed that if you workout, you will lose weight.  Man, was I wrong!  You could work out everyday, 365 days a year, but if you are still eating junk, you will not see any results.  The 21 Day Fix is a great program that helps you see what all you should be eating, and in correct portions.  It is broken down into calorie brackets, and the most food anyone should be eating is vegetables and lean proteins.  I have learned to tolerate the taste of fish because it is good for you.  I have increased my veggie intake as well, but part of that is because of my husband (he is a veggie lover!).  Just keep in mind that while exercise is very important to your health, the food you put in your body is even more important.  You have to fuel your body properly to have success.
