STOP MAKING EXCUSES!


I have a little problem and I hope I don't offend any of my wonderful friends here, but this need to get out! People who have been watching me for some time now, KNOW what a difference I have made in my life. Because of the changes I have made on the inside AND the outside, I have attracted a certain following. People trust the process because of my transparency. These people see that I am a human being who has flaws, successes, failures, etc. They also see that I have gone from a size 18 to a size 6 and I have kept if off and continue to work towards improved fitness every day. They know that I have not used magic diets, pills or potions. I have worked my ass (opps...sorry) off and made HUGE lifestyle changes. I have been on this journey for THREE years, not three months and I'm am going BIG.
So, here's my issue. I STILL have people messaging me, calling me, publicly saying to me "Tell me what you have done. I can't believe how great you look and I'm really interested in taking a similar path". "I'm READY to make the same changes"."Give me a plan". When I sit down with them and discuss my changes, the Beachbody programs that have made me who I am today, the Shakeoloigy that I have for breakfast every single day, etc. etc. etc., I get so many objections. I'm here to make a difference, love on people, coach them to success, and I'm TOTALLY down with that. BUT, I get so frustrated and saddened when I hear "I'm ready to make the change", but change is not something they are willing to do. There's excuse after excuse. "I'm just too busy", "I can't afford healthy food", I can't afford a workout program", "I'm too tired", "I HAVE to have my soda, coffee, beer, etc".

Because I am so passionate about helping people find their ultimate health, this shakes me to my core. I don't care if you want to go to the gym, run outside, bike, or use Beachbody programs! A change is necessary. Sacrifices (sometimes HUGE ones) are necessary. Giving things up, creating NEW habits, loving yourself are all necessary. I'm looking for people who are TRULY READY to make that CHANGE!

I have three options for you:
1. A FREE 5-Day Clean Eating program
2. A P90 Accountability Group
3. A 21 Day Fix Accountability Group.
The clean eating group is free, but requires you to commit to eating clean, healthy food for 5 days....so buying food will be your only expense.
The other two require a program purchase, and for you to fully commit to a change! I will provide menus, fitness and nutrition information, a schedule to follow, motivation, one on one support, AND a money back guarantee.
Beachbody is successful because they have created REAL, DOABLE programs for people like you and me. Are you tired of JUST WANTING to make that change? Are you ready to take it to the top with me by your side to give you the little shoves necessary? Send me a friend request on Facebook (Jennifer Gilmore McCormick) if we aren't already connected and I'll send you a message to discuss your goals and dreams! If we are friends already, you might want to get on with sending me that message! Want to check out the programs first? Look around my website and see if something peaks your interest.

Team Beachbody: A Career or a Hobby?

Moments like this make my "job" as a Beachbody Coach SO much more incredible than it already is!

"I just told Mike that I now understand all of your excitement and posts about your lifestyle change! I am enjoying working out! Imagine that one. We talk about food more at our house now than ever. Thank you!" -Sherry

The funny thing is, Sherry isn't even one of my clients, but she knows I am rooting her on! I'm rooting ANYONE who is making positive lifestyle changes on whether they use Beachbody, me as their coach, or whatever!

The conversation continued as she told me how her youngest child is asking which snacks are healthiest, her husband is on board with the nutrition portions, and her oldest child is doing the whole program along with her. What an inspiration! She lost 8 pounds in her first week on the 21 Day Fix and is motivated to stay the course. I'm excited for you Sherry! 




These types of conversations make me realize what an impact I am having on others by simply living my own life, publicly. I run Challenge/Accountability groups through Facebook "groups" and share pictures and recipes of what I eat, what a mess I look like after my workouts, and other small tidbits about fitness and nutrition, all of which I have learned by just becoming a Beachbody Coach. 



The greatest part...I get to add to my household income WHILE I lose the weight. Huh? I mean, I'm getting paid to HELP others get healthy AND to keep myself accountable! How much better can it get? 



Did I know anything about fitness and nutrition before I started? Not a lick! I was brought up in a southern household where butter=love! I still TOTALLY love butter, but I opt for the grass-fed kind and use it in great moderation.

How did I get started? When I went to order my Challenge Pack for TurboFire, I found out that my $40 coach sign up fee would be waived just because I was already ordering the Challenge Pack. I figured, what the heck. Maybe if I sign up as a coach, it will secretly help me stay on course. I thought, I won't tell anyone I'm a coach because I'm 200 pounds and people would laugh and think I was nuts. So, I kept my coaching a secret for several months. In my first few months, I lost 40 pounds. At that point, I wanted to shout from the roof tops that I was a Team Beachbody coach, but I kept it in for a little while longer. It wasn't until I got so many compliments and messages asking me how I came about my physical change that I decided to start sharing. After SEVERAL people asking me about my weight, I decided that it wouldn't be fair if I kept holding it all in. Once I started telling people what I was doing, they jumped in and started seeing similar results. We were all walking around totally excited and I didn't even realize what I had in front of me.
I didn't even know Beachbody had Challenge Groups at that point! I surely didn't know that the Challenge groups have scripts for every single day of every different program! Really? Of course, I don't stick solely to the scripts, but I use nearly every single one of them at some point during my Challenge Groups. The scripts have helped me learn about superfoods, proper form, motivation, and so much more. They have inspired me to dig deeper and to find articles and research about certain fitness and nutrition subjects. I have learned SO much. I look back and I am simply blown away at how far I have come...body, mind, and spirit, through this incredible journey. 

I am now growing a team, and have found even more inside me. I have leadership skills! Beachbody encourages their coaches to spend 10-30 minutes per day on personal development. At first, I didn't even know where to begin, but now, I have a stack of books that I can't wait to read. I love having virtual meetings with my awesome coaches and helping them reach their goals. This business just keeps getting better!



Where else can you get healthy, happy, and have an incredible impact on others lives while making significant income for your family? I pay $15 per month for Beachbody to process and ship my customers orders, provide me with an AMAZING website, take care of all my customer service via their top-of-the-line customer relations department, give me FREE leads from their infomercials, advertise through infomercials at the rate of millions per year, provide the best training, weekly coach calls, coach promotion programs....I have to stop, or I will go on forever. Wait...I also get 25% off of all the products I order, can win free trips, and have the opportunity to hang out with celebrity trainers! But do I REALLY pay $15 per month? Nah, I get paid far more than that, so it's simply a tax deduction. Hehe.



Are you interested in seeing what this business can do for YOU? Want to get these kind of messages in your inbox because your lifestyle change inspired someone else to do the same? Want to make money at the SAME TIME as losing weight and running Challenge Groups on Facebook? Email me at enerjenic2012@hotmail.com or message me from my Beachbody website here.

Are you Lacking Accountability?


 
 
Have you thought at all about what makes Beachbody customers more successful at actually succeeding with their programs? How is purchasing a Beachbody program from a coach any DIFFERENT than those other DVD's sold on Amazon?

Challenge Groups! Challenge Groups are the key to your success. You buy the workout program, the Shakeology for nutrition and you also get the SUPPORT! The reason I stay on target is because of the Challenge Groups I run. The lovely folks that I am motivating don't know how much their success motivates me! Right now, I have a 21 Day Fix group with 27 challengers. I'm not the only one posting motivational messages! So many of the ladies post pictures, ideas, exciting accomplishments, and motivating captions that help each other move closer to their goals. It's so incredibly amazing! It's not just the ole coach giving shout-outs, but EVERYBODY giving each other praise and encouragement is what sets these groups apart from other group fitness situations out there.

How many times have you watched an infomercial and spent your hard-earned money on a program only to fall off the wagon 2 weeks in? Do you have a gym membership that you pay for so you'll go, but never go? Have you bought workout equipment like dumbbells, yoga mats, or even a treadmill, but just can't seem to stay motivated on your own? Maybe you are just lacking PEOPLE to keep you accountable!

I'm ready to introduce you to accountability that WORKS! I have a new Challenge Group starting on November 3rd and I want to prove to you that it can be done! Beachbody offers a MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE! Love your results or you get your money back. Same goes with the Shakeology...the BOTTOM of the bag guarantee allows you to drink the entire bag and return it for a full refund if you're not satisfied with results. What have you got to lose? Challenge Packs come with all yu need to succeed.


Fitness+Nutrition+Accountability=Success!

More on the P90 Challenge Pack and what comes in it? Here's a short video on the Challenge Pack Special for October: http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/EnerJenic2012?bctid=3782826933001


Email me at jenmccormick@live.com or message me here on Facebook ONLY if you are serious about making the commitment.

Don't forget that Beachbody is donating $5 to the Wounded Warrior Project for every P90 Challenge Pack sold in October. I am doubling that amount and donating an additional $10 for every Challenge Pack I sell in October. I will also continue to donated monthly at the rate of $1 per pound lost in my P90 Challenge Group for the 90 day duration.
 
Here are just a few of my personal photos that show what accountability groups can do for you... 


Fitness and The Wounded Warrior Project

The Wounded Warrior Project AND fitness are both something I'm a HUGE fan of. My own husband benefited from the WWP when he was injured on his way to Iraq.



How many of you have heard of Tony Horton's P90X? I bet 85% of you are raising your hands! Haha...that's the teacher in me. Now, how many of you are new to fitness (or want to be) and P90X intimidates you? Well, guess what! Tony Horton has come out with a new program called P90. The catch phrase with this latest program is that it is the "On Switch of Fitness". What does that mean? It's an introduction to fitness for people who feel like they have never been into fitness before or those who cannot handle the extreme fitness routines that Beachbody is generally associated with. Want to know more? Check out this video. I will be running a Challenge/Accountability Group for P90 starting one month from today.
 




WAIT, there's MORE!

Tony Horton's dad was a veteran who was very passionate about the WWP. He recently, unexpectedly passed away. Beachbody is donating $5 from the sale of every P90 Challenge Pack during the month of October. What an amazing way to honor Tony's father! This company never ceases to amaze me! I have decided that I will add to that. For every P90 Challenge Pack that is purchased from me in the month of October, I will donated an additional $10 to the Wounded Warrior Project. In addition to that, I will continue to donate to the WWP at the rate of $1 to every pound lost in my Challenge Group for the 90-day duration. The bigger my Challenge Group is and the more successful the people within that group are, the larger my donation to WWP will be! This is so stinkin' exciting to me! Ready to join me in this great cause? Click to join my group and I will message you to get you started. You can join the Challenge Group here. Watch this video on P90 for more information: P90

How empty is your closet?


Do you ever stand in your closet and look at all the clothes you have, but it takes forever to get ready in the morning because nothing fits, or everything makes you look frumpy? Not all that long ago, I remember crying in the mornings before work because all of my cute stuff was too small, and the stuff I could wear (comfortably) was just not something I really wanted to be seen wearing in public, let alone as a professional who was teaching a class full of children. It may seem silly to some, but this was a real issue for me. I hated my body, how I felt it reflected on me as a person, and how tired and awful I felt EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

My closet may as well have been empty.

Fast forward a little while, and now it takes me a total of 10 minutes to get dressed and apply make-up each morning. The funny thing is, the time I used to spend crying and telling myself how much I suck in the mirror is now time I spend in the kitchen prepping my meals for the day. No joke! This is me being 100% real. I used to be embarrassed to tell people how long dinner took, or how often I was in the kitchen throughout my day because I was worried people thought I was just eating my life away. I guess it's because I really was. Now, I'm excited to say that I spend 30 minutes every morning making sure that my body gets the nourishment it so deserves to keep up with my incredibly busy lifestyle. Another super perk to this is that I am teaching my children to make healthy choices too. They don't see me hitting the Hardees drive-thru for a biscuit and coffee anymore and I LOVE that...even though I do love those stupid biscuits. Now it's like once a year I have one instead of every weekend. Haha.

Going down this path has taught me so much and I want to share with you! Are you ready to START making these changes too? These changes have taken me quite some time. It surely didn't happen overnight. I've read a ton, experimented a LOT, fallen off my horse and gotten back on a gazillion times, and I still have a ways to go. Now that I have taken myself down this road, I want to help others find what I have found. Health, confidence, happiness, freedom, and so much more.
Would you benefit from a workout program that is designed to be the "Gateway to Fitness", a healthy eating plan that is not overwhelming, and a REAL person to support you and motivate you to reach the goals you share with her?

I want to take that journey with YOU through an authentic relationship. I will work one on one with you to discuss your goals, challenges, what meals and snacks will work best with YOUR lifestyle/schedule, and encourage you every step of the way through a private accountability group with others just like you with as much or as little support that is tailored to suite YOUR needs.

and let me know if P90 is something that you think you could do. I'm looking for SERIOUS people ONLY, who NEED to make that lifestyle change in order to move their lives in a more positive direction. Email me at jenmccormick@live.com or message me through Facebook (Faithfull Fit Beachbody Coach Jen McCormick) and I'll send you a quick questionnaire so we can start to discuss your goals. 

It won't be long before you are sharing your success story!
