New Website

Hi friends.  I have been learing a lot about social media and how it can help to grow my Beachbody business.  The first thing I've learned is you MUST USE Wordpress!  So sorry Blogspot, I've set up a new site and blog.  Please follow me over at http://www.beckybouldienfitness.com/.

And if anyone needs help or advice on setting up a new website/blog, just ask.  I might as well share what I've learned!

I may from time to time still post here for personal thoughts, but please follow me at my new site!

What is Beachbody?

Beachbody has changed the lives of many people I know.  They are in the best shape of their lives, free from medication they were once dependent upon, financially free, able to spend more time with their families and helping others achieve their own goals.  Larry Zimberg puts it this way, "This business is not about sales, nor will it ever be. It is about perseverance. It is about desire and the will to achieve something more, something greater than the status quo. It is a journey, not of what you get along the way, but of who you become; reaching out in the service of others and helping the person next to you. And it is about heart."  I am inspired by the people I have met through Beachbody to live a better life.  I am looking forward to 2011 and how Beachbody will change my life.  Anyone want to join me?

What is your New Years Resolution?

2011 is only a few days away.  I am planning to make it my best year ever.  My best fitness, best career advancement, best relationships and best commitment to seeking Christ.  I've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.  It only takes the desire to change, commitment to act and the perseverance to not give up.  You can only fail if you quit.  Is anyone ready to join me in making 2011 a year to remember?

Winter Shakeology Recipes

So as you know I'm a HUGE fan of Shakeology.  I love the taste, it's the healthiest thing I eat, and it helps me to lose weight.  Drinking it every day, I like to be able to add some variety.  Some of my favorite recipes include adding peanut butter, mint extract, hazelnut instant coffee and coconut extract.  But with this new Winter recipe calendar, I have many more variations to try!  What is your favorite Shakeology recipe?

Do you really need Beachbody or can you get fit on your own?

Many people I talk to about Beachbody don't see the need.  They think they can make their own shakes and do their own routines to get in shape.  And you know what, they can.  But do they have the motivation and determination to forge a plan of their own and stick to it?  Usually not.  What Beachbody offers is a set nutrition plan and a specific daily workout plan that anyone can follow.  You also get a coach to hold you accountable and encourage you.  There are thousands of success stories from people who have used these programs and nutrition supplements.  You could also make your own laundry detergent, sew your own clothes and cook everything from scratch.  But do you?  What is holding you back?  Make the committment to get healthy with Beachbody in 2011!  You won't regret it.

How to have a healthy holiday

How did it get to be November so quickly? Thanksgiving is one week from today! And how do we celebrate, by eating lots and lots of food! We need to adjust our mindset 95% of the time to believe that food is merely fuel for our bodies. It is not love. Some folks mistakenly believe that it is loving to make extremely unhealthy food for our families. If you do that, you are setting your kids up for a life long struggle. I'll leave that 5% for special celebrations when you can indulge but that shouldn't be the norm.

America is quickly becoming the most obese nation in the world. More and more folks are struggling with diabetes. Good health is one of your most prized possessions and many of us don't realize that until it is taken away. This holiday season, try to substitute ingredients in your favorite recipe. Try applesauce instead of butter or plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Ground turkey is great in many recipes instead of ground beef.  You can find lots of ideas just by searching on the internet.

I'm going to try to make these Shakeology oatmeal bars as a healthy dessert option.

Shakeology Oatmeal bars
Ingredients:
3 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup skim milk
dash cinnamon
splash of vanilla
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
4 scoops chocolate shakeology

Mix all dry ingredients, then add skim milk and vanilla.  Blend.  Add peanut butter and mix with hands.  Put mixture in an 8X8 pan, press flat and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.  Cut into squares.

Hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday!
