Celebrate Every Day of Your Life

June 26, 2018 by Kim Danger

Live every day of your life June 2018 – It’s been quite a month. On June 1st, we celebrated my daughter’s graduation from high school. That very same day, my husband turned 50, quietly and gracefully so as to let Sydney enjoy the spotlight. Today we celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and on Thursday we head to Indiana to my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. I’m not sure we could pack another major life event into a month if we tried. Well, that’s not entirely true… we are also getting a puppy as soon as we get back

The pragmatic side of me says that birthdays and anniversaries are really just celebrations of arbitrary numbers, right? Years are simply collections of 365 days. So while completing them is something fun to celebrate, it’s what you DO inside the space of those days, hours, minutes that really matter. As I get older, I realize the importance of making each one COUNT.

Too often we’re distracted by life; worrying about real-life matters like navigating the schedule of activities and events, paying bills, looking at what just popped up on our phones, not being present. When we’re not fully engaged in our lives, we’re not opening ourselves up to the gifts that are around us each and every day, in each and every moment. Sometimes that can be hard — especially when you’re surrounded by piles of dirty laundry and stressed with a seemingly-endless to-do list, but it’s up to us to find it. And, we most certainly won’t find it if we’re not looking.

Don’t let anyone — or anything — steal those little pockets of time away from you. That’s when life REALLY happens. You don’t need a birthday or anniversary to tell you do that. Every moment holds something to celebrate.

Transform :20 by Shaun T – New Workout Program Coming in 2019!

June 22, 2018 by Kim Danger

JUST ANNOUNCED AT TEAM BEACHBODY COACH SUMMIT: TRANSFORM :20 From Shaun T

OMG… who else is a Shaun T fan? Who else is a fan of SHORT workouts? This program taps into Shaun T’s second biggest strength (right there behind behind an AMAZING trainer) if motivating people through changing the way they look at things. MINDSET IS KEY! Let’s cover some of what we know about Transform :20 already, then if you’re curious about upcoming announcements and test groups make sure you drop your information below so we can keep you updated.

“We got work to do” – Shaun T

TRANSFORM :20 PROGRAM BASICS

Six weeks
Six days a week
20 minutes a day
No weights, your own bodyweight and a step is used
There is a modifier
Shot in “real time”

If you’ve done Insanity Max 30, you know it’s tough… but the calorie burn will be about the same. How’s THAT for intense? However, even though it’s going to be a new level of INTENSE this program removes ALL excuses. Shaun T’s mission in creating this was to remove the mental barriers people have in committing to a workout. Lack of time? No worries. It’s just 20 minutes. Can’t do high intensity? No power jumps, no diamond jacks, no tuck jumps – No problem. With this program, Shaun T took away things people could complain about. And yes, you CAN do it. There is a modifier, and she doesn’t use the step.

This is a six-week program that will be available to stream on Beachbody on Demand (not on DVD). It’s a six-days-a-week workout program, with a recap on Sundays. If it is similar to past Beachbody releases like 80 Day Obsession, you’ll get the entire upcoming week’s worth of workouts released on Sunday evenings. With Transform :20, you’ll also get to know the cast as the program progresses. There is a reality show that features the cast. You see what they eat, how they get along, how their mindset transforms. You will develop your OWN success story as well. Each day, there is a CHALLENGE. The program doesn’t require weights, but you will need a STEP. You are stepping up, RISING UP. The step is a metaphor for LIFE, people. You’ll learn a lot about yourself as you go through this program! We know that Shaun T is a master motivator in this area (check out his book T Is for Transformation: Unleash the 7 Superpowers to Help You Dig Deeper, Feel Stronger & Live Your Best Life)

Transform :20 Nutrition and Meal Plans

The details on the nutrition haven’t been announced yet, but if you are a Beachbody on Demand subscriber check out the Insanity Max 30 Program Details and Nutrition Plan. My best guess is they will be similar, since both are Shaun T programs with a similar duration and calorie burn. Plus, what I love about that Nutrition Plan is that it includes restaurant resources and options – great for real-life situations! Sign up for a FREE Beachbody on Demand Trial

Transform :20 is a Good Fit for You IF:

Are motivated to change your fitness level through mindset
You struggle to get in long workouts each day
Beginner/Intermediate through advanced fitness levels – the modifier does NOT use a step
Doesn’t want to buy weights or expensive equipment
HATES things like burpees and extreme moves
Wants to get in GREAT SHAPE!

ABOUT TRANSFORM :20 From Team Beachbody:
Just announced at Summit: Transform your body and mind with Shaun T’s new Program, Transform :20 – coming 2019! Step up to the challenge and radically transform your body and mind with Shaun T’s Transform :20 – a 6 week, 20 minutes-a day fat burning workout to truly start the year off with a transformation – both physical and emotional. Plus, for the first time ever, Shaun T is using a step to scorch fat and transform everything – abs, legs, upper body, glutes – without lifting a single weight. You’re doing the program in real-time with Shaun T and the cast. It’s like taking a new class with Shaun in your own private studio every day for 6 weeks. Transform :20 offers go on sale December 2018, and get VIP Early Access to the full program starting January 2019.

TRANSFORM :20 RELEASE DATE AND TIMING:

VIP Early Access Sale start December, 2018
Coach Test Group starts January 14th, 2019
Beachbody on Demand General Release Spring 2019

APPLY FOR OUR TRANSFORM :20 LAUNCH GROUP BELOW!

I am looking for a select group of participants I can mentor in an EXCLUSIVE Transform :20 Accountability Group. Please only apply if you are motivated to make a change and are committed to sticking to the program for the full six weeks. NOTE: This program does not launch until January, 2019. We will contact you as we learn more about the program. I will also be looking for Transform :20 COACHES to help mentor others in our team’s accountability group. Learn more about the Coach Opportunity HERE.

Don’t Want to Wait?

We don’t either! We know that Transform :20 doesn’t come out for a LOOOONG time (at least it seems that way). But, you can still get RIPPED with Shaun T in the meantime! We have groups starting every 2-3 weeks to help you lose weight, shred fat, and keep your head in the game. A few programs to consider NOW:

Insanity Max 30
Focus T25
Shaun Week on Beachbody on Demand
Or, try LIIFT 4 from Joel Freeman (great for short workouts, only 4 days a week! — Join our LIIFT 4 Sneak Peek Group on Facebook)

June 22, 2018 by Kim Danger

WE ARE 126th…AND I AM SO EXCITED!!!

In most instances, coming in 126th is NOT a good thing. I mean, Ricky Bobby says, “If ain’t first, you’re last,” right? Not true!! This month I’m CELEBRATING that number.

Our mission is to help women feel GOOD about themselves from the inside out, embrace who they are, and live their best lives AUTHENTICALLY.

We will be an Elite Team this year. We WILL land in the Top 100. My vision for our team is to NOT ONLY help empower women through health and wellness– but to help these ladies BUILD AMAZING HEALTH-BASED businesses from home (or the car, or a plane, or a boat – all places we’ve worked).

We spots for THREE new coaches ready to start New Coach Training with us on MONDAY. You DO NOT have to have prior fitness/nutrition knowledge, or even be at a certain level of fitness. However, you DO have to be:

—> Passionate about health, wellness and bettering yourself
—> A hard worker + self-motivated
—> Willing to learn and share your journey with others
—> Familiar with social media
—> Ready to BRING THE DRIVE

Our team provides you with ALL THE SUPPORT you need to create your own health and wellness business entirely online through social media. You bring the desire to succeed. It’s a WINNING combination! APPLY HERE:

2B Mindset at Trader Joe’s

June 16, 2018 by Kim Danger

STOP AT TRADER JOE’S BEFORE TRIPS

Tips from Illana for travel – “Staying in a hotel this weekend so picked up a few goodies to help set me up for success. Made sure I was #veggiesmost with super low maintenance veggies. Topped with super awesome accessories (love to find dips with 40 calories or less for 2 tablespoons so i can eat and enjoy them more liberally – while still tracking of course). Got some precooked hard boiled eggs, which are easy to fit in a hotel refrigerator. And some FFC high fiber crackers- mainly for my husband because I have a harder time controlling myself with these so I tend not to get started. The whole trip took $20 and 10 minutes!! And will likely save us loads more bc we won’t need to get as much from restaurants, vending machines or room service.

Simple Swaps

That is spaghetti squash! And this green dressing from Trader Joe’s tastes like pesto but is much lower in calories and fat!

Island Soyaki

This stuff is great to use to marinate salmon!

SOOO Many Good Dips and Spreads at Trader Joe’s

Instead of chips or crackers, try slicing veggies to scoop them up! I like organic cucumber, mushrooms and red peppers. This totally satisfies your need to munch without the guilt.

A Great Healthy Pasta Sauce

Try over zoodles or spaghetti squash for #VEGGIESMOST

What is 2B Mindset?

2B Mindset is a healthy, long-term way to look at food. Instead of having food be the enemy, this program teaches you to look at eating in a positive light, while losing weight (or maintaining) healthfully and happily. It is NOT a deprivation mindset. No foods are off limits, but it does teach you to prioritize healthy foods like veggies… and make sure you are getting enough water. More on 2B MINDSET

Dig Deep

June 12, 2018 by Kim Danger

I have always noticed this tree at the cabin. It stands out from the others. It looks like just about ready to fall into the lake – but it never does. When you get up close to it, you can see that it has an incredibly strong root system that has established itself firmly in the hill. That tree isn’t going anywhere.

You see, trees need the wind to blow against them. It helps their root system to become stronger, helping them grow. Just like trees, we humans endure bad times, get knocked around, take some hits. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t grow either.

If you’re on a journey of any kind, remember this: When you feel like you’re going to fall, remember WHY you are making changes. Act on that sense of purpose to create new habits. Your motivation nourishes your root system, your habits help them take root. Both keep you grounded when you feel like falling. DIG IN DEEP.

LIIFT 4 Transformation Photos: Before and After

June 12, 2018 by Kim Danger

LIIFT 4 Workouts

LIIFT 4 is the new program designed by Supertrainer Joel Freeman. It’s designed for REAL LIFE: Workouts are quick. It’s a get-in-and-get-out program that has you working out for just 30-40 minutes. Plus, you are only working out with this program FOUR days a week. The rest of the days can be used to do whatever you enjoy — running, hiking, group fitness classes – or nothing at all. Because your workouts will be intense, you’ll STILL see dramatic results in a short amount of time.

LIIFT 4 Nutrition Plan

LIIFT 4 also incorporates a solid, clean-eating nutrition plan. Like the workouts, it’s designed for REAL LIFE. Cheat days are OK, and no foods are entirely off limits. Read more about the LIIFT 4 Nutrition Plan
