As a Nurse, I don't always have time to eat during the day. I know it can be a struggle to find things to eat that are healthier, that are quick and easy to eat. I wanted to share with you what I usually bring. Normally, I have my sandwich for lunch.
I always have my shakeology shake either for breakfast or lunch depending on if I was able to grab breakfast.
Shakeology Shake
I always have a zone bar. Chocolate Caramel Cluster is my favorite one.
Zone Bar
Pretzels
An apple and 14 almonds is something that's healthy and filling.
Apple & 14 Almonds
Pretzels are one of my favorite snacks! Easy on the go!
Granola Thin
I do love peanut butter...I think I am addicted and these Granola Thins by Nature Valley are absolutely so delicious!
PB Protein Bar
These PB protein Bars are so easy to make and so yummy. Check out the recipe HERE
Water
Its so important to have your water with you at all times!. I always drink at least 64 oz of water daily and that includes days I work! I know its a lot of water and I constantly have to pee but my body craves water. To all my fellow Nurses out there, if you would like any other healthy snack/food ideas for your day at work email me nkeating24@comcast.net or personal message me at www.facebook.com/afitchicknamednick
OK...so is this Beachbody Coaching thing legit?? Is it worth my time? Can I make any money doing this? Is this a scam?
So many questions filled my mind when I reached out to my friend about what shakeology was and the difference between p90x and insanity. After she heard my story, she asked me if I would want to coach. The business aspect scared me a bit. I am not in "sales", I am a nurse....we don't do sales, WE SAVE LIVES! I never owned my own business. Could I own my own business? Was this for me? Could I do it??
If you have even wondered about coaching well here it is...I am here to answer your questions and to show you that YES you can make good/great money with Beachbody. It is not a scam and you do not have to be a sales man, nutritionist or fitness expert.
But you can decide this for yourself....
~Beachbody Coach, A Little Background~
Beachbody was founded in 1998, where they sold fitness DVD's on infomercials. Then in 2004 "coaching" was introduced into the mix. Beachbody realized that they needed to bridge the gap between customers buying the DVD's and then actually completing them. This is what a coach is for.
A coach runs a homebased business helping others obtain their health and fitness goals. They do this by various in-home workouts and nutritonal products that Beachbody has created. (insanity. P90X, P90X2, Body Beast, Turbo Fire, Shakeology, P90X Results and Recovery Formula, E&E, etc.). Listen to what the Chairman and CEO of beachbody, Carl Daikeler, has to say about coaching:
As a coach, you receive a 25% discount on all products, and you make 25% commission on all products sold. Along with this commission you also earn bonuses for growing your coach team, just like a personal trainer in the gym. You earn other bonuses and prizes, such as free trips and awards for helping your team be successful.
~The Way It Works~
YES, this is Multi-Level-Marketing. YES, it is set up like a pyramid. But what most people don't know, is that a true pyramid scheme is illegal. A pyramid is illegal if their is no exchange of goods for money. As a coach, one does not make any money if their coaches don't buy or sell anything.
Moreover, with a pyramid scheme, you can not get ahead of the person who signed you. But as a coach, you have the opportunity to make more money and be more sufessful than the person who signed you! Your success is controlled only by yourself and your efforts. As a coach, you are working for yourself, you are not building anyone's dreams but your own!
~Can One Make Money With Beachbody?~
YES! But just like any job or business, it takes time and effort. There is no money tree and there is no quick fix to earning tons of money overnight. You may not make a ton of money when you first start especially for the amount of work you will be doing, but if you continue to work hard and grow your business, you will start to see your income rise and a snowball effect will take place!
~Pros & Cons~
~Cost Breakdown (Like I said, NOTHING IS HIDDEN)~
When you sign up as a coach you will have 2 costs.
1.) $39.95- sign up fee. this pays for your starter kit, access to your online office and 3 websites
NOTE: this fee is waived if you purchase a challenge pack
2.) $97.46- Cost of your first bag of Shakeology. I always tell my new coaches to, at least, start out on shakeology when they start because it is hard to sell a product they are not on!!
Now, for the Challenge Pack option I mentioned in "cost 1". The Challenge Packs range from $140-$245, depending on what fitness program that you select. With a Challenge Pack, you get your choice of fitness program (T25, Insanity, P90X, Body Beast, Turbo Fire, etc) and a months supply of Shakeology, a 30 Day free trial of the Club Membership, your sign up fee is WAIVED, and FREE SHIPPING! WOW!
Let me break it down a little more....If you choose to only start on shakeology you are looking at $39.95 (sign up fee) plus $97.46 (shakeology) which equals $137.41. For $3.00 more you could have a Fitness Program. You tell me which sounds like a better deal!
~Monthly Costs~
Now as a coach we have 2 ongoing expenses. They are as follows
1. $15.95/ month starting in the second month of your business. This fee is for your websites you get when you sign up. Beachbody will maintain, fix, and update your websites on a daily basis, this fee covers that.
2. $97.46 for your monthly order of Shakeology and to maintain an "ACTIVE" status. I am looking for active coaches, coaches who love the products and/or want to build a business. In order to remain an "ACTIVE" coach one must purchase or sell 50 PV (personal volume) worth of produces each month. Shakeology alone each month covers this. You can learn more about Shakeology HERE

Have you ever wondered what all this talk is about Beachbody Coaching and thought hmm...could this work for me? Do find yourself going back and forth between will this work for me and no I don't think so? Will I have enough time to devote to it? How could I fit this into my life?
Maybe you are held back from making a decision because your not at your goal weight or body? But I am here to tell you.... YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE! There are so many coaches that are not where they want to be. The great thing is about this whole coaching thing, is that its not only about helping others, you are helping yourself. You are now held accountable and have a reason to workout everyday. This way you can get closer to your goal and he reason is, YOU ARE motivating others to do the same!
Beachbody coaching has a way of keeping you accountable, not only because being a product of the product is one of the huge ways to be an example and get people to jump on board with you....but you have an entire team of motivated individuals (and other coaches) cheering you on and helping you each step of the way.
HERE are the Top 5 Reasons to Become a Coach:
1. Do you LOVE to workout? Are you someone that looks forward to your workout? Are you someone who, if they do not get their workout in, they are completely lost? I know I am! If you answered "YES" to these questions, then you would make a great Beachbody Coach!
2. Do you LOVE to eat healthy? Can friends rely on you to make a healthy dish for get together's? Do you meal plan your week out? Sounds very similar to me! you would make a great Coach!
3. Are you already someone who gives advice to friends? Help them meal plan? Are you an accountability partner to anyone? Making sure that they are eating healthy and working out? If so, then you are already doing what a Beachbody Coach does! 4. Do you post motivation pictures or quotes on Facebook, Instagram, or other forms of social media? Pictures of you working out? Your food choices?
THAT'S WHAT I DO TOO, as a Beachbody Coach!! hmmm let me guess your thinking beachbody coaching might be for you?
5. Are you self motivated? Are you someone who sets a goal and does not stop till that goal is reached? If so you would be a valuable asset to our Team!
Do you believe You create your own destiny?
If you feel that any of these describe you, and would like more information...Please contact me today! I am currently looking for people who have the passion of health, fitness, and want to help others!
