Resolutions into RESULTS: Early Enrollment

December 11, 2016December 18, 20161 Comment

I’m not sure if its…

…the super great deal at the local gym?

….Or maybe the 7-10 pounds “typical” Americans tack on during the holidays?

….Or perhaps the classic “this is my year” attitude?

I’m sure there’s a million and one things that play into the reasons but the results have proven in a recent study that the TOP 3 new years resolutions in America have something to do with:

EXERCISE MORE
LOSE WEIGHT
Improve DIET

Yet, statistics show, LESS than 10% of those people are actually successful in achieving their resolutions!

Why?

They don’t have the tools!

They’re afraid of change – they fear failure – they don’t know HOW to get started AND continue!

But that’s where I can help!

Here’s the deal…if you make a few temporary changes the results will simply be that – temporary. You won’t truly achieve what you’re setting out to do unless you make a CHANGE!

A change in the way you think – act- believe and yes – a change in your LIFESTYLE!

Now I get it – its much easier said than done!

Making a lifestyle change – a HEALTHY lifestyle change isn’t always easy.

Some people will doubt you, some may not support you, some may even say negative things and you may fear your ability to stick to it long term or when not at home. You’re afraid you don’t have the time or the money – But these are all just excuses – if you have a plan – you can overcome every single one of them – and then some!

AND I CAN HELP YOU!

Committing to a healthy eating and a consistent exercise routine may be HARD. But so is living in a body that you’re unhappy with.

CHOOSE YOUR HARD.

Then take action.

For me, the secret sauce was truly found when I joined an online challenge group.

An online accountability group filled with other women who had similar struggles as I did – similar fears – and similar goals – TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE!

I don’t have all the answers but I have experience, drive, passion and a desire to help others SUCCEED in achieving their personal health & fitness goals!!!

So I ask you all to take this as a personal INVITATION to make this your year.

To not just COMMIT but truly make a CHANGE!

I’m kicking off my RESOLUTIONS INTO RESULTS challenge group January 2nd and I am looking for 10 people to join me!

BONUS: in the season of GIVING I am offering one of my favorite, and total mindset game-changing books THE MIRACLE MORNING to all participants who commit WITH A CHALLENGE PACK by 12/24.

And if that wasn’t enough – Beachbody is launching their their 2nd Health Bet Challenge where they have put in $2 million to a pot reserved just for people who commit to a fitness program and log at least 3 workouts a week & replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology and log 5 Shakeology’s into our tracker app for 4 weeks. If you complete the necessary steps you are entered to win the cash prize at the end!
Yes – you can in fact get a reward for doing what you already want to do and COMMIT to improving your overall health & fitness.

So to bring it all together:

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO:

First you need to make me your official coach. You can complete your enrollment here:

Make Maegan my coach

Fill out the application below so that we can determine the best program to suit your GOALS.
Commit to the duration of the group. This is about finding a solution to your needs. A program you’ll enjoy, a program that aligns with your goals, and a program that you can COMPLETE.

Nutrition matters.

Core de Force RESULTS

November 23, 2016November 23, 20164 Comments

30 days ago I made a COMMITMENT.

That I was going ALL in with the brand new home fitness workout program – CORE DE FORCE & combining that with a Whole 30 Nutrition plan.

I was a bit nervous.
Unsure how I would tackle traveling, the MANY birthday parties and the unpredictable days that typical #momlife presents…but I didn’t care.

I wasn’t going to let those excuses hold me back any longer. After all, I had been “considering” this for over 6 months. I convinced myself there was never going to be a PERFECT time to do it.

Mentally…I WAS IN IT.

I was simply GOING ALL IN with the intent to FINISH and enjoy the pure sense of satisfaction that I CAN DO HARD THINGS.

Mentally I was ready. Physically I was unsure. But I knew I was going to give it my all!!!

I can truly say these last 30 days have been some of the most rewarding.

I realized that YES – I can in fact workout for more than 30 minutes a day – at home – AND – ENJOY IT!!!

Most every other workout program I completed was based around the “30 minutes or less” approach and while I LOVE that attribute working out for 47 minutes when you LOVE what you’re doing and can see the hard work paying off isn’t so bad after all!

And I realized that good food doesn’t have to be bad food! Our Whole 30 nutrition plan provided us with the NUTRITION and FUEL we needed to rock each and every day, and continue to get RESULTS!!!!

Without a shadow of a doubt – I owe a portion of my success to my hubby who worked out with me daily at home.

Helped push me out of bed when I didn’t want to.

Guided me through the moves when my uncoordinated self couldn’t figure it out!!!

And simply made the entire experience MORE fun for us both!

But let’s be real…reading about the success is one thing – but it all comes to LIFE when you can see RESULTS.

And here you have it:

In the last 30 days I have lost:

6 pounds
1.5 inches off my waist
2 inches off my hips
1 inch off each leg

And this is exactly the motivation I needed to head into the Holidays with the right intentions and positive mindset!

You can read more about each week below:

If this looks like a program you may be interested let’s chat about my next online accountability group!

Committing to start a program is one thing…getting started is another…following it through until the end is a whole new story!

Allow me to help you every step of the way!

*Must not be a coach or working with another coach!

Mission Maintain: Holiday Survival

November 22, 2016November 22, 20161 Comment

Did you know the average american GAINS 7-10 pounds between Halloween and New Years?!

Its true!!!

Afterall, its EASY to take the chunk of time, chalk all the mishaps up to holiday craziness and commit to “a new plan in January” – but you don’t have to call it quits yet!

Forget the NEW year resolution – its time for a YEAR END resolution!

There’s still 6 weeks left in 2016 and I am pulling together the troops for one final round – TOGETHER – to help us SURVIVE the holidays.

Mission MAINTAIN isn’t about total deprivation.

Or total indulgence.

Its about BALANCE.

Its about helping ensure you’re not part of that “majority” that gains and feels gross about themselves come 12/31.

Its about finding the foods you enjoy most and truly ENJOYING them but passing on the rest.

And its about carving out those 30-45 minutes a day to better yourself so you can give more to others.

So many people live uncomfortably those last months of the year with an attitude that they’ll just “start fresh in the new year” – but WHY WAIT?

IMAGINE how AMAZING you’ll feel if you make a commitment TODAY to end 2016 STRONGER than you started and start 2017 off with a fresh clean slate and positive mindset!

IMAGINE the confidence you’ll have – the increase in energy – and comfort knowing you’re doing something today your future self will thank you for.

If you IMAGINE this is something you want to attain – THEN JOIN ME!!!!

Getting started with Core De Force WEEK 1

October 26, 2016October 27, 20162 Comments

And its officially IN HAND!!!

I kind of feel like a kid on Christmas! 2016-10-21-07-00-10 One of the biggest benefits of being an Elite coach is the opportunity to attend our EXCLUSIVE Leadership Event, most recently held in Coronado California.

Not only did we have access to 3 LIVE booty-whooping workouts with the Core De Force co-creators, Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews, but we also got the opportunity to pick up a SIGNED copy of Core De Force before ALLLL the rest of the network has the option to purchase it!

You may recognize them if you’re familiar with the Les Mills hit programs – Body Pump and Combat but this is a BRAND NEW MMA-inspired format and its launching October 31st!

If you want to read more about what the program details you can find all the answers to the FAQs HERE: Core De Force Launch PARTY

As soon as I got home my hubby and I dived in and got started!

The nutrition plan is SIMILAR to that of other Beachbody Portion Fix systems but don’t think its the same old same old – the containers are there, but you don’t have to use them…and there’s some twists and turns as you progress through the 30 days!!!

Keep reading…

Here’s a glimpse into the MMA speed workout from Day 1:

And don’t worry if you’re thinking the combo moves look a little tricky…we all look like baby giraffes learning to walk at first but you will quickly find your rhythm!!

But its not all kicks and punches either! You will be building your strength (no equipment necessary!!) with workouts like this one we did on Day 2:

The workouts are great – amazing in fact. Day 2 was quite possibly one of the most CHALLENGING workouts I’ve ever completed…but like all fitness “programs” the results are driven not just by how hard you hit the sweat session but what you fuel your body with.

The nutrition guide breaks it down to 4 plan options: A, B, C or D.

Step 1 is to Figure out your Caloric needs:

Once you know your plan for calories you can check out how many servings of each container you get to eat per day.

Like I mentioned previously – the brackets can be correlated to the Portion Fix color coordinated containers – OR – you can use the measurements provided in the guide!

My calculations land me in Plan A – which equates to:

3 GREENS (veggies), 2 PURPLES (fruit), 4 REDS (protein), 2 YELLOWS (carbs), 1 BLUE (healthy fat), 1 ORANGE (seeds and dressings) & 2 SPOONS (oils, nut butter)

This eating plan is all about a balanced approach to nutrition with each plan working out to be about 40% carbs, 30% proteins and 30% fats.

But the key is to PLAN & PREP!!!

This is where so many people fall short.

You purchase the program, you figure things out – but you have to…I repeat YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PLAN for your meals.

A sample day for someone who falls into the PLAN A category like me would look something like the following?

Breakfast: 2 Eggs with peppers and spinach, 1 piece of toast (red, yellow, green)

Snack 1: Shakeology with banana & peanut butter (1 red, 1 purple, 1 spoon)

Lunch: Turkey and sweet potato hash (1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow)

Snack 2: Apple with cashews (1 purple, 1 blue)

Dinner: Salmon burger with asparagus, cooked with olive oil (1 red, 1 green 1 spoon)

Here’s a full week PLAN A Meal Plan as an example:

*NOTE: The plan does change slightly as you progress through your 30 days. As the workouts increase in intensity you will be adding in more foods in weeks 2 and 3 and going back to the orignal plan in week 4. Don’t worry – the step by step is ALL outlined in the nutrition guide! This is just part of helping YOU optimize YOUR RESULTS!

I am personally following a MODIFIED Whole 30 Meal plan along with my 30 Day journey with Core De Force. Here’s how I have updated my meals and scheduled throughout my day.

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

So you have your challenge pack with your workout program and Shakeology and the meals are ON POINT…but you have to also remember WATER. This is something I stress to my clients DAILY throughout our online accountability group!

If you’re not used to eating small(er) meals spaced out – OR – if you’re used to grazing all day long you may not be getting adequate water in.

You should aim to drink at least half your body weight in ounces. This is key – especially when starting something new!!!

As you can see from reading thus far…There’s no guess work here people!

The program includes it all! The full package outlining how much to eat of what foods – when to do what workouts and superfoods to fuel your body…and mind!

The last thing, and perhaps most importantly thing to decide is to COMMIT.

To make that decision that you’re going to push hard and do it.

But trust me…you’re not alone!

We are in this together and you will not just have me as your personal 1:1 coach/mentor but you have the opportunity to participate in my LAUNCH party and join forces with other people who are just where you are and working to become a better version of themselves!!!

This is your open INVITATION!

Core de Force Launch Party – you’re invited

October 16, 2016October 17, 20162 Comments

I am SOOO excited to kickoff my CORE De FORCE LAUNCH party today and more importantly let you know…YOU’RE INVITED!

Core De Force is latest in-home workout program! Its 30 days of mixed martial arts (MMA)-inspired total body workout created by Beachbody SUPER-Trainers Jericho McMatthews & Joel Freeman to blast belly fat and sculpt total body definition.

And for you non-iron throwers or you busy on the go traveling peeps…there’s a bonus: No equipment needed!!!

I LOVE the start of a new program. This gives me an opportunity to learn right there beside my challengers. We’re in it together. We start together and we FINISH together!!!

I had the opportunity to sneak peek this workout program with some of my team members and I participated in an informational call with co-creator Joel Freeman and let me just say – the more I learn the higher the anticipation BUILDS!

Joel shared so much information about the program, who its for, how it compares to the prior programs like Les Mills Combat and I’m going to share more with you!!!

What is Core De Force ?
CORE DE FORCE is your 30-day countdown to a knockout body. Created by Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews, it’s the ultimate mixed martial arts-inspired workout that will knock out the belly fat, help slash inches off your waist, and carve total-body definition—no equipment required.

Who is this program designed for???

Anyone who wants to tighten up their midsection, carve a stronger core, and sculpt total-body definition. CORE DE FORCE is great for intermediate or advanced exercisers-or graduates of INSANITY MAX:30™, TurboFire®, or P90X®-but beginners and people who are looking for significant weight loss can follow the modifier and drop serious weight too.

Lindsay H. felt tired and very unhappy with what she was seeing in the mirror. She committed to Core De Force for 60 days and lost an incredible 11 lbs. and 14 inches! “This program allowed me to achieve a level of strength I didn’t know I had. I was always the tiny one who couldn’t lift things. Now I feel strong all the time. I’m the tiny strong girl!”

Does it follow the PORTION FIX Eating Plan?

The CORE DE FORCE workouts and the Eating Plan included with the program are designed to help you get results quickly. The Eating Plan includes a simple strategy that helps your metabolism fight off plateaus to help you get your best possible 30-day transformation.

The Eating Plan includes the option to incorporate Beachbody’s Portion Fix container system into your nutrition. It is designed to work seamlessly with the containers, but you do not need them to get great results with CORE DE FORCE.

What if you’re BRAND NEW to fitness?

Each MMA-inspired workout includes an optional moveby-move breakdown to help you get familiar with the punches, kicks, and combinations. Also, every workout includes a modifier who demonstrates the moves at a lower intensity. Additionally, you can also follow the “Modifier Track” exclusively on Beachbody On Demand (feature coming this winter). That way you can follow the modifier the entire time in split-screen view while you build strength and get up to speed!

Glen W. was feeling depressed about his weight and often felt lazy and overate. Glen committed to 3 rounds of Core De Force and lost 56 lbs. and 36.5 inches! “The twelve rounds of three minutes were awesome! I really enjoyed the pace and the intensity level. Towards the end of 90 days I rarely took my breaks, and did active recovery!”

Here’s a little glimpse into one of the workouts – MMA Speed

What Makes this program UNIQUE?

CORE DE FORCE is packed with the best of MMA-inspired training. In 3-minute “rounds” you’ll get Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai knee-elbow combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio spikes—all designed to help you lose the belly and shred body fat.

Just hit it hard for 3 minutes at a time and before you know it, you’ll be done!

What Makes this program so EFFECTIVE?

CORE DE FORCE isn’t your run-of-the-mill Kickboxing workout. Each move, whether it’s a jab, a kick, or an uppercut, works your core from every angle. Joel and Jericho call this 360-Degree Core Training—and it’s more effective than traditional abdominal training to help you tighten up your entire midsection and carve a more defined waist.

Tanya A. was ready to reclaim her life after a difficult divorce. She committed to Core De Force for five rounds and lost 32 lbs. and 34.5 inches in 150 days! “Core De Force will reshape your whole body– in less than an hour a day. If a 52-year-old, flabby, business-owning, single mom can do it, so can anybody.”

What’s included in the Challenge pack?

Busy Women Finding Balance

October 9, 2016October 9, 20161 Comment

Some days its a tough job to be a full time mom, nurse, chauffeur, chef, piggy bank, teacher, amusement director, maid, secretary, monster slayer, referee and professional snuggler..tack on ANOTHER full time job, jammed together with volunteering activities, and maybe just a date night already (please!) and —- I think its safe to say we all agree ITS WORTH IT…
But its also exhausting!

So when do we find time for ourselves without feeling GUILTY that we’re not tackling one of the other 100 things on the to do list?

Busy moms know how to do a lot of things – namely – GET SH*T DONE!

But they also need to LEARN how to also take some time for themselves…because a happy healthy MOM – spreads to a happy healthy FAMILY!

30 minutes is all that you need a day.

Let’s talk about 30 minutes to workout, 30 minute family friendly meals.

Did you know that if your dedicate 30 minutes a day to yourself — to working out — that is ONLY 2% of your entire day!

2% – not too shabbby right!

No need to mess with day care or commuting to a gym – its all in the comfort of your HOME!

Most weeknights we are running out the door to sports or practice or whatnot and food prep has become CRUCIAL to us all!

FALL around here is CRAZY TIME and let’s be real…that crockpot flipping rocks! But you have to actually USE it to benefit from it!!!

Are you looking for healthier meals to feed your family while on the go?

Are you exhausted from always being on the go?

Do you WANT to find ways to fit it in – but struggling to figure out how to find the ever IMPORTANT – BALANCE?

Join me in my upcoming Challenge Group and lets put those struggles behind you!!!

Don’t even think now about what you have to lose…but really you should be asking yourself what do you have to GAIN??

Whether you’re interested in the new recipes – the increased CONFIDENCE – more ENERGY – Daily Support – or all of the above…if you can commit you will succeed!

And with the overwhelming success of my Miracle Morning themed group from September – I’ve decided to incorporate a new book into this challenge (thanks to an awesome challenger and her recommendation): The Busy Mom Devotional.

“No workbook – No sequential daily readings. No guilt at falling behind. Just you and God, pausing together.”

I know what its like to be intimidated.

But trust me when I say – its the START that STOPS most people.

Don’t be like most people!

Team Retreat in Destin – RECAP

September 19, 2016September 20, 20162 Comments

I have just returned home after a 5 day trip for our Team’s Retreat in Destin Florida and I am filled with so many emotions!!!

So many amazing takeaways from this trip and while I want to run, put my blinders on and get to work, I also need to take a moment to reflect on this incredible getaway!!!

I have hosted my own for my team and this is the second retreat I have attended with my upline sponsor coach and I cannot say enough POSITIVE things about the after math of attending something like this!

The theme was

TO BE A PINEAPPLE.

To stand tall

Wear a crown

Be sweet on the inside!!!

We had our team there filling one house on the Beach and together with the other Dream Team Coaches – we filled 5 mansions in Destin Florida with 10+ Elite coaches in the network led by our fearless leader, the #1 Coach in all of Beachbody.

There were corporate led trainings, team led trainings, small group breakouts, parties, fun, dancing, dinners, group workouts, late night chat sessions, and more!

Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, Busy Moms build a business, Mom of two, Mompreneur, Momlife, Successful work from home career, Successful Beachbody Coach, Top Elite Beachbody Coach, How do Beachbody Coaches make an income, Realistic expectations for Beachbody Coaching, How to become a Beachbody Coach, Pittsburgh area Beachbody Coaching opportunity, Fitness career work from home, Stay at home mom career opportunity, Your vibe attracts your tribe, Destin Florida getaway, Destin Florida beaches

You could say it was a bit of a powerhouse event!

I’ve heard so many women say they don’t have girlfriends and they get along better with men and that is sad to me, because when confident, happy, secure women come together in friendship, amazing things happen!!!

I’ll admit I got a bit anxious leading up to the event. I mean 14 girls in one house – PLUS – over 100 girls coming together for games and trainings…its a lot to take in!!!

But I know the importance of events.

And as expected, I walked away from this event with new friendships, stronger bonds, and perhaps a 6 pack in the making from all the laughter!

I want to share a bit with you all so you can understand that this wasn’t just an opportunity to unplug and soak up some rays…but rather an opportunity TO GROW our businesses, our confidence, and improve the overall quality of our LIVES!

I arrived on Wednesday evening and Thursday kicked off our Team’s trip!

We all watched the sunrise together

Then naturally we took things to beach to get started!

We got sweaty, had some fun, then got to the beach!

This was our one FREE day…and I took full advantage of it!

Miracle Morning

I’ve been preparing for my upcoming Miracle Morning accountability group and this was the perfect setting to dive in and get to practicing what I was about to be preaching!!!

Friday night we got together with the other 5 houses and together, 125 Beachbody Leaders strong, we competed in the BEACH OLYMPICS!

I’m not sure I ever laughed so hard!

From crab crawls in the sand, to wheelbarrow races, to 3-legged races, to running with a pineapple on my head – this was hands down one of the most fun nights of my LIFE!

Our team may not have one the trophy but we did win with the most laughs!!! #TeamPurple rocked it for sure!

Saturday it was time to Learn!!! From 9-5 we heard from some of the top leaders at Corporate and the top leaders in the company.

From social media trainings, to recruiting, to creating independent leaders, to creating a powerful vision, to leading with a PURPOSE, to learning how to JUST BE YOU and lead from the heart with the goals and impact you have on others in the heart of what we do!

Things slowed down as we wrapped up our training session, regrouped, then headed out for margaritas and tacos! Because what group of women doesn’t like margaritas and tacos?!?!

There were many moments of reflection and many moments where I just had to stop and pinch myself.

This is my life.

This is my career.

These are the women and people I CHOOSE to spend my time with.

Who lift me up

And EMPOWER me to be the best mom, friend, wife, coach, sister and daughter possible!

The trip was perfect.
I am grateful for the generosity of my coach and grateful for the team bonding we all enjoyed!

I know I say this a LOT.

But its true.

This career. this opportunity, has BLESSED me more ways than I ever imagined!

No one tells you when you buy a challenge pack looking to lose a few pounds that you may just stumble upon one of the greatest career opportunities out there!

I am grateful and I am blessed and I want to share this opportunity with others!
If you see yourself in these pictures above – if you’re reading this thinking – this is ME or THIS COULD BE ME – or I WANT THIS TO BE ME let me share more with you!

Taking that LEAP OF FAITH is where it all starts!

If you have every considered coaching, now is the time!

The Miracle Morning Challenge

September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a comment

Have you ever wished you could get up just a bit earlier to start your day – but you find that snooze button so darn tempting???

Have you been trying to fit regular exercise into your weekly routine but you “just don’t have the time?

Are you “too busy” to add one more thing to your plate?

If so…you may be the girl I’m looking for!!!

I’m looking for 5 women who roll their eyes at me when they see that I just finished a 5am workout (and no-I won’t be offended when you say THATS’S ME 😘)

I’m looking for 5 women who don’t think they could EVER make the time to get up any earlier than they already are “just to workout”

I’m looking for 5 women who do believe they need to and are ready to make a change and want some help getting there.

Why?

Because I want to help YOU!

I have been reading the book: The Miracle Morning and its AMAZING what that positive mindset can do for you first thing in the morning!

Its amazing what an extra 10 minutes or 30 minutes or 60 minutes of productive, positive actions can do…not just in the moment but for the entire day ahead. For your FUTURE outlook on LIFE!

But here’s the thing…not all people can snap their fingers and change their routines.

It takes time, commitment and most of all – SUPPORT!

I am kicking off a brand new accountability group- the Miracle Morning challenge – and it starts September 19th

I want to help you!

Fill out the application below if you would like to be considered for ONE of the FIVE spots!

*Must not already be a coach or working with another coach

I hope to work with you soon!
