Order Shakeology on Autoship to Win an Additional BEACHBODY WORKOUT!

Okay, here's the deal;

Shakeology is an absolutely amazing, incredible, life-altering product. Hands down, you WILL NOT find anything else like it anywhere. That being said, there are still people out there that are on the fence about buying it and trying it for 30 days. To be honest, when I first heard about it, I was too. Then one day, it dawned on me that I could try it for 30 days and if I really didn't like it, Beachbody would give me my money back. Full disclosure, as a coach, I do get 25% off all the Beachbody products (so I get it for the low, low price of $89.95), but it was still a bit of a gamble and I decided to take it.

I ordered the Greenberry (I had some chocolate protein powder in the kitchen that I knew if I loved the Chocolate Shakeology, I would probably not use it up). The day finally came that the UPS guy brought my Greenberry to the door. It was around 1:30 PM and I was working from home and seriously considering a nap. I hadn't had lunch yet, so I ripped open that box from Beachbody with my always present companion, Crystal the lab, by my side (every time a box comes into the house, she thinks it's like Christmas and wants to help with opening the boxes!).

I quickly got out my poor, old, beat up blender (VitaMix's are SO MUCH BETTER, I've since discovered!), read the directions (8 oz of water, scoop of Shakeology, and ice, if desired, which I did), blended it up and quickly poured it into a glass to get my first taste of this incredible shake. And it was...... only okay. I wasn't jumping out of my seat over the taste, but it was okay. I have had plenty worse. It was just missing something. But I downed it anyway and within 30 minutes, I noticed something.... I wasn't tired anymore! In fact, I felt a real energy boost. Hmm, I thought to myself.... there is something in here. Something my bod really seems to be responding to.....

So, I quickly looked around the kitchen to see what I could find to put in my Shakeology the next day to jazz it up (or as my mom would say, doctor it up...). I think I went with some strawberries, banana and unsweetened almond milk. I quickly poured it into a glass. And it was....INCREDIBLE! It was THE BEST smoothie I had ever had (and I'm really into smoothies). Same results; had energy, felt full, felt great!

I continued to use it for the 30 days and then my new shipment came (I definitely chose the autoship. Heck, free shipping and 2 free workout DVD's! I'm in!). I noticed that my digestion had improved (self-diagnosed myself with IBS. So just a little change in my diet or a big fall off the wagon can mess me up for days or longer). Took it to a week's stay at scout camp and felt really great the whole time. Noticed 5 lbs gone. Decided to keep going with Shakeology.

Then, after camp, a friend of mine that went with said she wanted to try it. Hooked her up and she ordered it on autoship and started her Shakeology journey. She started working out with the DVD's that come with the autoship order. Somewhere in the ballpark of 3 months, she told me she was down 20 LBS!!! I was in awe! After I picked my jaw off the floor, I had commented that my hair was thicker and was wondering why. It was her that said it has to be the Shakeology (duh, didn't even think about that!). So, I am for sure a customer and consumer of Shakeology, for life!

Now, I want YOU to have the same amazing experiences I've had. So, get Shakeology on autodirect THIS MONTH, and you will be put into a drawing for your choice of several Beachbody workout DVD's (see the complete list HERE). This is for new users and those that have not yet chosen the autodirect option. (If you are on autoship currently, you have the option of cancelling your autoship and reordering to get your name in the drawing, just as long as you do it THIS MONTH). If you are the winner, you will get to chose from the long list of DVD's, so not only will you get the 2 "Shakeology: The Workout" DVD's, but you will also get one Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, Slim in 6 or any one of the other's on the list! Talk about holy weight loss, Batman!

You can order HERE and comment below or message me your choice, if you are the winner. If you aren't sure yet, you can think about which one you would prefer. Or, you can ask your friendly, favorite Beachbody coach (me!) what would work best for your current situation.

Now, this is something that is offered only through me, not through Beachbody. Orders have to be made through my page, to be eligible for the drawing. Any questions? Just ask! My door is always open!

Until next time,

Rebecca

PS. If you are interested in pursuing the coaching option to get your Shakeology and other Beachbody products for 25% off, I'd love to talk to you about it. Plenty of peeps choose this, if for nothing else but the discount!

Shakeology® Certified Low Glycemic

Guest post from the one an only, Carl Diakeler:

You know about the awesomeness ofShakeology^® – the ultra-premium health shake which my wife helped formulate when she saw that her husband couldn't eat a vegetable unless it was deep fried.

Now, in addition to enjoying it daily, we all get to brag about its most excellent score on the Glycemic Index Scale! Shakeology^® was recently tested and measured for it Glycemic Index (GI) and received the amazing score of 24 by Glycemic Index Laboratories.GI is a way to measure how carbohydrates react in your blood. When you eat carbs, your blood sugar level rises anywhere from a little to a lot. The GI uses a scale of 1 to 100, with higher numbers given to foods that cause the most rapid rise in blood sugar. These foods give a quick energy boost, often followed by a crash as your blood sugar drops rapidly, leaving you feeling sluggish, tired and even irritated.

The 21 day fitness solution

Hey, Rebecca here,

I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking if we have fast solution to help with the shrinking the waist, hips and buns area…

… while there is no quick fix (I don’t care what the infomercials claim) I did go to the drawing board and crafted a new 21 day rapid fat loss program that’s right up your alley – if you want fast results.

You probably know that Body Power boot camp is pretty much full, but we do have room for another small group so I thought I’d let you know that my NEW 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss program starts Monday, August 2nd and the best part is that the 21 day program is discounted to only $99 and INCLUDES a 21 day meal plan program.

The only catch is that the camp is almost full and we can only take on 12 more participates. So if you’re ready to fit into your skinny jeans again and want to firm and tone your body all while dropping inches and pounds then make sure to register for our 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Bootcamp.

Here’s how to register…

Just call my office at 515.999.5810 and let me know that you want in on the 21 Day Rapid Fat Loss Bootcamp and I'll get you all dialed and ready for Monday or just go to this special 21 Day registration page:

The class will take place Monday – Friday at 5:45 AM or 7:00 AM at Lions Park in Urbandale.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
