Do you.... 
☑️ Want to make your health and fitness a priority?
☑️ Dream of working from home?
☑️ Want more time with your family?
☑️ Want to earn an income helping others reach their goals, all while you yourself are reaching your own goals?

My Story: 
A little over a year ago I had a career in the big city. I went to school and went into debt for that career because I believed that it was going to be something that I really truly loved. And you know what… it was good… I had good benefits, made a decent wage, moved around and was able to find jobs easily in the different cities where we had moved. The problem with the career I chose was that it was stressful, it was demanding, it took me away from my house, kids and husband for hours because of the distance it was to get to and from work. Yes, I did have holidays and personal days BUT I worked Christmas vacation because there were deadlines that could not be missed. I worked while my family missed me and I missed them. I came home stressed and took that out on my family. So after 10 years of being tired, stressed, full of anxiety and depressed, I was put off work by my doctor.

I knew there had to be something more to life. There was something BIGGER out there for me! One day I was scrolling my Facebook news-feed and came across a post very similar to the one you are reading right now and I thought to myself “WHY NOT ME!”. At first I started this because my health was not getting any better with what I was doing or the medication I was on, the depression and anxiety was getting worse. So it was time to take a chance and do something for me. Little did I know that it was going to turn into something SO much bigger!

I had dreamed of working from home so I could be present in my girls’ life as they grow so WHY NOT ME. Those around me were growing their own businesses and pursuing their dreams, travel, vacation, spending so much time with their babies; WHY couldn't that be ME! I knew something in my life needed to change and that day, that post, that little message changed our lives forever!!

Not only have I been able to get off of my medication, I am at HOME with my girls! I no longer work in the Big City!

Why Not You?
Are you stuck working day to day in a career that you no longer LOVE? One that no longer makes you want to jump out of bed each morning and get moving? Are you ready to take that leap and come along on this amazing journey?

You do NOT have to be in the best shape of your life! Join the top Canadian team and benefit from the amazing training and support you will receive on this journey. This is an opportunity to work on you! I didn't have the knowledge or skills to be a successful coach but I did have Passion; Desire; Hope; Determination and Drive to do and be something more!! I changed my story and you can change yours!

What is Beachbody Coaching?

WHAT DO YOU DO AS A COACH?

As a Beachbody coach, you support and motivate others to reach their health and fitness goals as well as working on your own! Beachbody programs come with their own meal plans and trainers so you do NOT need to be a health and fitness expert! What you do is provide others with the support and motivation to achieve their own successes with these programs. We use Facebook for online accountability groups and trainings.

***Please note: You do NOT need to be in the best shape of your life to inspire others! People will relate to you at any point in your health and fitness journey! You only need to have Passion; Desire; Hope; Determination and Drive to do and be something more!**

WHY BECOME A BEACHBODY COACH WITH OUR TEAM?

We ARE a FAMILY! We work together, train together and learn from each other!  These programs and products have changed our lives! The best part is we have training that is easily duplicated so you can get similar results! AND we are among one of the fastest growing teams in Beachbody I am now able to stay home with my 3 baby girls and earn extra income to do the things we want to do as a family but were unable to do because of finances.  We have the honour of helping others from the comfort of our own home on our own time and get rewarded physically, financially and mentally!

BEACHBODY COACHING ISN'T

Being a Beachbody Coach is NOT a Get Rich Quick Scheme. You will only succeed with the work and effort you put into it. So if you are not willing to put in the time and effort you will not see the success that others achieve. Your income is a direct reflection of the amount of lives you change. If you give YOUR business 100% for a year you will be AMAZED at what you can and will achieve!


WHAT IS THE COST?

There are 2 options for enrolling as a Coach:

1. The BEST and most cost effective way to enrol is by purchasing a package that we call a Challenge pack. This comes with a workout program of your choice and includes your first 30 days of Shakeology, discounted shipping AND a 30 day FREE trial of Beachbody on Demand!  If you choose this option Beachbody will waive the enrolment fee!   Money saved and you will be on your way to becoming a product of the product and will enable you to share your journey and success!!

 ~Complete this Form to find the Best program for you!~

2. The other option is paying the enrolment fee of $39.95USD/$43.95CAD if you choose not to purchase a Challenge Pack.

***After your first month as a coach, there will be a monthly business fee of $15.95USD/17.95CAD (No annual fees). PLEASE NOTE: These fees are waived for active military (US only).***

The monthly business fee covers the 3 websites Beachbody gives you which you can do some minor personalization:
1. Beachbody coach site,
2. Shakeology site (only available through the Team Beachbody Coach network)
3. Ultimate Reset Site.

You are welcome to create your own website (which I have chosen to do as well but it is not necessary)

The business fee also covers:
- your email account
- access to marketing materials
- your Coach online office
- personal development tools
- shipping, inventory and customer service that Beachbody handles for you!
- direct deposit

**To remain an Active Coach, you need to have 50 Personal Volume (50 PV) points per month. By purchasing Shakeology each month, you will receive is 90PV and you are good. This is great because in order to explain and show the benefits of the products you will need to be using them yourself!**

BENEFITS:

1. Income: 25% commission on all products and team cycle bonuses. The earning potential is unlimited!

A Little More About My Story

This is hard for me to write about. I don't normally like to dig back into my past but I was really thinking about this today and needed to get it out.

So, these pictures on the left are from 2010, a trip we took out east to go visit family! I was looking back at the album today and noticed something that really made me quite sad and still does as I write this now. Look at my face. Look at the sadness there. I look at these and MANY of the photos from this trip and do not see happiness. I see someone trying to hide, someone who lost their confidence, someone I really didn't realize I had become until years later. You would truly think being on such an amazing vacation and visiting my amazing family there would be a REAL smile on my face. I do not see that here and that breaks my heart because I never noticed it before. It was years later I finally admitted to myself who I had become... A shell.. a shell of who I once was, going day by day, doing the same thing over and over and over, just hoping for a different result.

On our team call I was able to reflect back on this past year and decided to scroll through some of my photos and memories. I see such a different person. This person I have become has been a long time coming. I have done things I had never dreamed of; pushed myself so far outside of my comfort zone; been places I never ever thought I would go but always wanted to. This year has been a true blessing. Thankful is a huge understatement of what I am feeling right now, overwhelmed, relieved, satisfied are a few of the feelings I have.

Those after pictures, that smile, the confidence radiating out of them just makes my heart Explode with JOY!! I am home! I am no longer a shell. I AM ME!!! I took the time to work on me and I AM BACK

Thank you!!!

What is The Master’s Hammer and Chisel™?

For the very first time, trainers Sagi Kalev and Autumn Calabrese have teamed up to create an expert program designed to help you craft a powerful, perfectly defined body. The Master’s Hammer and Chisel is an innovative resistancetraining system that incorporates three muscle-sculpting phases—Stabilization, Strength, and Power—or SSP Training.

• 12 brand-new, 30- to 40-minute workouts that combine Sagi and Autumn’s proven techniques for 60 days of hardcore resistance training.

• Flexible nutrition that allows you to lean out, sculpt and maintain, or build muscle.

• Includes options to adapt certain exercises if you have limited access to equipment.

The Day Has Come!

Well the day has come :) As of today I am a Full Time Beachbody Coach AND Stay at Home Mom!!

Last year was a whirlwind of change and why would this year be any different!

Oh my gosh it is scarey but this is where my heart is and it IS where I belong.  When I left my job in Toronto to come home I took on 2 other jobs from home as well. It was hard to find the time to be with the girls as I was on the computer from morning til night trying to keep up with the workloads.

2 weeks ago we decided that I would leave my Mortgage business for now and just focus on my other job, the girls and Beachbody until October when we would re-evaluate the situation. Well the universe had other plans. I believe everything happens for a reason and this, I believe wholeheartedly is a blessing for us!

The past couple of weeks have been one of the best! I was able to let the stresses of my previous job slowly float away. I was able to spend sooo much time with my girls! We went to the trailer, spent time with family, went to Legoland, the zoo and we danced ❤❤

I really want to thank my family and friends for all of their support!

Mom, Dad and Glen you are my biggest fans and love you to pieces for telling me to always follow my dreams ❤

And a very special thank you to my husband for always pushing me further and believing in me that I CAN do this! You are my biggest supporter and I am so happy you came into my life xoxo

My Life Will NEVER Be The Same!

Alright I keep deleting this post BUT here it goes!! 

Last year I decided to make a change in myself. I would start spending time on ME! My days used to consist of getting up early to get ready for work before the kids were even up. I would leave for work at 7am to get to work for 8:30. Work the day away and get home at 6:30. Just enough time to have about an hour and a half with the girls then sit down and watch a show on the TV and do the exact same thing the next day and day after that... I felt drained, I was miserable, didn't feel like doing anything EVER! 

One day I was scrolling my news-feed and this little boy was pointing at me. I read the post by amazing friend who was asking if I wanted to know what she does as a Beachbody coach, how she gets paid to workout and how her husband retired from his corporate job! OF COURSE I WANTED TO KNOW! Really what could it hurt to find out how they are working from home and LIVING life with their children! 

If I didn't comment on that post to find out I would probably still be working in Toronto away from my children. I would still be on the couch each night watching TV and eating junk. I would still be grumpy and miserable with myself and the life that I thought I was living. 

That post of that little boy CHANGED my life! I started working on me! I worked out late at night after the kids were in bed, instead of sitting on the couch watching tv. Started eating healthier, becoming more positive everyday. It's true what they say "Surround yourself with those that lift you higher". With so many positive people around me I became HAPPY!!! Things started to change in and all around me. I decided to leave my Toronto career that I had been doing for 10 years, I improved my health, improved my eyesight, improved my relationship with my family and found out what I was made to do!

Are you ready to join in and change your life? Send me an email me at DestinedYou@outlook.com to learn more!

Chocolate Shakeology Mug Cake

So I had a huge chocolate craving and was really wanting some cake.  I decided to try a microwave mug cake but not just any mug cake, one that I did not feel guilty about having!  Second attempt is a WINNER!!!

Grab your favorite mug and try these out, see which you like best.  Here is my favorite mug :)

First Attempt

In all honesty I could not eat it all it was very filling and a little dry so next time I will add a little more water/milk.

Ingredients:
1 Scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
1 Egg
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
dash of Salt
4 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Peanut Butter

Directions:
Mix dry ingredients together in your mug of choice.  Add in egg and water (or milk), mix it well so all of the ingredients are moist, add your scoop of peanut butter. Stick the mug in the microwave and cook for 90 seconds.  Take out and enjoy.

*************************************************************************************

Second Attempt: 

My FAVORITE, almost like a brownie consistency. Still eating it as I write this!

Ingredients:
1 Scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
6 Tsp Warm Water

Directions:
Melt Coconut Oil in microwave.  Grab your favorite mug, add your scoop of chocolate Shakeology mix your melted coconut oil as best you can and then slowly add in your warm water, mixing all 3 ingredients together.  Once they are mixed put your mug into the microwave and cook for 80 seconds.

Take the mug out of the microwave and you can enjoy right out of your cup. What I did was grab a knife and make sure the cake wasn't sticking to the sides of my mug and then dumped it onto a plate.  I added a couple of scoops of Greek yogurt and some berries!  Was delish!!

The Dress Doesn't Fit

I have honestly been scared to try my wedding dress on.  Thinking that I was never going to fit into it again and scared that maybe it would fit.

My husband and I got married 9 months after having our first baby girl. 9 months on 9 months off right? Nope, was not the case for me. When we first met I was around 130 pounds, during pregnancy I gained 80 pounds in not even 9 months. She was 3 weeks early and I topped the scales at 207 pounds when I had her.  That's right I said 207.

Needless to say I did Not lose all of my baby weight from our first pregnancy before we got married. (or even before our next pregnancy, which was a couple months shy of 2 years after the first pregnancy).

I haven't put this dress on since 2009...

I was going to wait until the summer to try it on again just to give myself those extra couple of months to make sure it fit.  Then we were at my moms house on the weekend and I just couldn't wait. I needed to see if THE DRESS was ever going to fit again.  So, I pulled it out of the closet and slid myself into it asking to have help to do it up, all while reminding myself that I had to wear Spanks with it on our wedding day.... and.....

Well I was BLOWN AWAY!!  Not only does it NOT FIT I can slip right out of it!!  I was more worried that it wouldn't fit because I hadn't reached those losses yet.  Totally thought it would go on but not actually do up.

So happy I ended up asking my husband "when are we getting married again?" and he jokes back "when you fit into your dress again" hahaha.

My Girls

As I sit here today, I am so thankful.

I am blessed with 3 beautiful little girls, who I am able to now watch as they change and grow everyday.  These girls fight, bicker, kick and scream at each other like all siblings but today was much different.  Today as I was listening to them play house in their room I hear one say "I love you" and the other little one without skipping a beat replies "I love you too".  Oh my heart!  Instantly tears came to my eyes as I thought to myself, they are finally getting it, they are understanding what sibling love is.

We always tell our girls we love them.  We have always prompted them to speak to their sister and tell each other you love them.  Now today without them knowing I was there listening at the door I realize they are going to have the best relationship.

If you don't already know my youngest 2 are twins.  Everyone says twins have a special bond but I never saw it with these two.  They are polar opposite, one is relaxed the other always on the go. I didn't know when they would build the relationship that other sets of twins I see have but now I know these girls will be friends forever.

It makes my heart happy to know that all of my girls will have each other to grow up with and have that special confidant.

Absolutely Blessed!

Extreme Fitness

All workouts are still 30 minutes!!  Who can't take 30 minutes out of their day to get in a great workout?!  If you want it bad enough you will find the time :)  I have 3 little girls and I find it, remember 30 minutes is ONLY 2% of your day! AND because you are doing this AT HOME you do not have to waste time travelling to and from a gym!

Simple Nutrition

You still get the easy to follow eating plan with the colour coded containers.  Though there are no treats during this program, no more wine, no more chocolate (at least I have my Shakeology to help with those chocolate cravings!).

Serious Results

The results that I have been seeing from the testers have been absolutely amazing.  People are getting seriously shredded using this program!

Favorite Shakeology Recipes

I have a HUGE sweet tooth!!  I mean really!!  Loved to have something chocolate everyday.  Since starting on Shakeology I have been able to really curb those cravings and put my health on the right track :)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup

This is my all time favorite recipe for shakeology!  Growing up all I ever wanted was peanut butter. Then when I was old enough and found peanut butter cups... look out!!!  Two of my favorite things together!?

If you love chocolate and peanut butter try this out and let me know what you think!

Thin Mint / Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Yes another chocolate mixture! lol  I could honestly eat a box of these to myself within a day!!  Plus having a big love for mint chocolate chip ice cream this was totally the way to go!  Love how refreshing this recipe is :)
