30 Day Challenge!

Have you hit a wall when it comes to weight loss?  Do you feel like you have lost all that you can and you are ready to throw in the towel?

Nutrition is the most important factor when you are trying to get in shape, and it's also the hardest! It's not just about working out 5-6 times a week. That's only 5-6 decisions you have to make. They say people make more than 200 (YIKES) choices about food/beverages EVERYDAY! That's a lot of decision making!

It can be hard to resist temptations...office birthday cake, happy hour, someone brought in bagels, you're running late and need to grab something! It used to STRESS me out beyond words!! But I started with Shakeology and a little book called The Eat Clean Diet. Shakeology cut my cravings for junk out, gave me an easy option to grab and go, and was a delicious alternative to poor meal choices. The Eat Clean Diet taught me what to eat, to PLAN AHEAD, cook meals one day and week and have them ready to go.

If you need that little kick in the butt, you should join our 30 day Challenge! Starts August 1st!

The Importance of a Success Partner

Happy Friday!  I don't about you, but I feel like this week has been dragging.  Maybe it has been the heat (close to 100 degrees every day), I just know that I am glad that the weekend starts at 5 pm today!

So today I am going to talk about something that I feel is VERY important to each of us.  It is a specific person in you life that will help you to succeed in your profession, home business, fitness, and lifestyle goals.  They will help you when you hit a roadblock or when you run out of ideas.  It is a person that will give you the extra enouragement and push that you need to reach a goal.  This is what we like to call a Success Partner. :)

So why is a Success Partner so important?  Well...I can't really explain why without telling you about my own success partner...

Her name is Nicole and let me tell you...she is awesome.  We started talking randomly one day in our Bombshell Dynasty group...and discovered are both at pretty much the same stage of our businesses.  That is when we both decided that we were meant to be Success Partners.  We both shared the same enthusiasm, drive, and determination...and we both want to succeed and make a huge impact.  She inspires me everyday, and I am SO glad that she came into my life!

Together, we have brainstormed and come up with some realistic goals that we BOTH would like to reach.  I am going to make us BOTH accountable and post those goals now for you all to see...

• We both want at least 15 people signed up with us as their coaches...and let me just say that in the past couple of days we have both been on a roll!
• We both WILL be EMERALD coaches by SEPTEMBER 
• We have vowed to have weekly talks about our progress...this has actually turned into us talking almost DAILY about our progress :)
• We both were determined to make video blogs...and we did!  Check mine out here :)  (Nicole, post your link in my comment section when you read this and I will add it up here!)
• We both decided to blog...A LOT...and we have been :)
• We both wanted to join MORE social networking sites...and we did!  LinkedIN, StumbleUpon...

We made up this list of goals about a month ago...and I am SO proud to say that we have BOTH  accomplisted the ones that are RED.  So if you were doubting this whole Success Partner thing...you shouldn't!  Having a person to rely on and work with is the most imporant thing that you can possibly have.  Nicole has become one of my favorite people and one of my best friends...I cannot WAIT to take over VEGAS with her and the rest of the Bombshell Dynasty for Summit 2012!!!

So now I am going to ask you, do you have a Success Partner?  Do you have a person that you can count on to inspire you, push you, and help you reach all of your goals?  If you don't...evaluate, talk to people, and find one :)  It will be the best decision that you will ever make...

If you do have a success partner, share your story with me!  Why are they your success partner?  How did you know that you two were perfect together?  What have you been able to do that you would have never done without their support and encouragement?  Email me your story!  And this weekend I will be posting your stories on here...Bombshell Dynasty members...this means you!

...And now for a word from our sponsors...

Well, not really...they are words from me :)

I know that I said that I was done blogging until I got to the beach, and I have posted two other blogs today, but I figured I would post something that I wrote rather than an article or whatever.

So over the past few days I have really been looking at what I can do to help get my name out there in the world; how I can reach people that I would not normally reach.  I need to broaden my horizons and step even FURTHER out of my comfort zone.  So get ready world, here comes Kristin!  Between this blog, my videoblog (www.youtube.com/users/kemaher11), and other social media outlets, I am going to spread the word about what I am doing...About how BEACHBODY and The Bombshell Dynasty can change lives...how might you ask???  Lead by example!

My life has changed completely since becoming a coach.  I know, I may not boost the same numbers as other coaches that have been doing it for as long as or even less time than me, but I know that I have the passion and the desire and the DRIVE to succeed!  Since becoming a coach, I have become a lot more outgoing, I am not afraid to speak up and tell people about coaching and Beachbody.  I am no longer afraid that they will judge me or throw negativity at me.  I wear a negativity-proof vest baby, hit with me your best shot because it will just bounce off of me.

Also, I have surround myself with an amazing support system...This is when I mention everyone by name who is being awesome and supportive and helping me succeed in what I do...Kati Heifner (my amazing DIAMOND coach and one of the greatest friends ever)...Lindsay Matway (one of the most inspirational people I have ever known)...Nicole Morse (best Success Partner ever!)...Lacey Twigg...Kyle Wilder-Slaughter...Holly Schaefer...Rich Donovan...Abby Fix...Amanda Genovese...Melissa Means....Julia Hackle...Danielle Morgan....Derek Cobb...Chris Taylor...My Mom, Maggie Maher...My Dad, Roger Maher...Kam Laughlin...Jodi Beggarly...Josie Urban...Rachel Volna...Alayne Barbary...Cara Crowley...Melissa Pifer...Dan Fillmore...Glenn Zary...and if I am forgetting anyone I am sorry but the list continues to grow every single day.  THANK YOU ALL...and I mean that from the very bottom of my heart.  You all give me tons of support; you are why I can wear my negativity-proof vest because I know that for every negative comment that I hear, you all will spit back positive comments to no end.  Some of you are a part of The Bombshell Dynasty already...some of you I will get to sign up one day :) 

Now you think...who are the positive people in your life?  Who helps to support you and encourages you to strive for your goals and dreams?  If you cannot think of anyone, or very few people...Let me be your support!  I have learned from the best...And I have learned that when someone has your back, you need to have their back too.  Everyone that I listed up there has my back, and I know that I can count on them.  they know that they can count on me too...You can be a part of this...and it won't cost you a PENNY.  Just go to www.beachbodycoach.com/kemaher and sign up for the FREE membership.  That will make you a part of this amazing group of people that will love and support you, even at your weakest, most negative moments...

So what is this BEACHBODY stuff???

So I have had many people ask me what this Beachbody stuff is...well, I know how much you all LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to read (notice the sarcasm?), here is a video that will tell you a little bit more about what I do!

So, did you like what you saw?  Do you want to change lives while bettering your own?  Then sign up for The Bombshell Dynasty!! 

"Vacation, All I Ever Wanted..."

"Vacation....have to get away..."

Well everyone, the time has come!  I leave for vacation Saturday morning at 5:20 am (Lord help me)...So this will be my last blog post from Pittsburgh...I have a LOT to get done between today and tomorrow evening, which is when I am leaving my house because my AMAZING friend Kati is taking me to the airport at 3:30 am Saturday (LOVE you Kati!). 

But since my last post, I have posted another video blog...here is it...

Now I am going to challenge YOU!  Write down your goals...Then post your BIGGEST goal in the comments below :) JUST DO IT!!  If you can come up with your goal, or you have them and need help reaching them...let me know!  I can help you...Let me be your coach!

Now for some other BIG news...my coach...and one of my very best friends, Miss Kati Heifner became a DIAMOND Coach today...so a HUGE congrats to Kati!  She rocks :)   She is SUCH an inspiration to me and everyone else on The Bombshell Dynasty...We love you Kati!!

30 Day Challenge????

Happy Friday!  And BOY am I happy that it is Friday...This has been a long week!

So I am officially 2 weeks into my own made up P90X/Insanity Hybrid and let me tell you...WOW!  I absolutely LOVE it!  I push myself a lot, and granted Insanity is pretty damn tough, but I am able to do more and more every time!  I will share my Fit Test results once I do the second one...The first results are pretty pathetic..haha

I love the fact that I am seeing results already...2 weeks in!  My tummy has flattened and I am FINALLY getting rid of those love handles that us ladies hate oh so much.  Plus, my little bitty biceps are growing at a rapid pace...My Dad actually asked me to flex last night and he was impressed!

So anywho, the purpose of this post is to discuss Chalene Johnson's 30 Day Challenge.  If you have not done it yet, DO IT!  It has changed my life and I am only on day 10!  I don't want to give too much away because I want YOU do to it, don't just piggyback on me :)  She teaches that it takes 21 days to form a habit, whether it be good or bad.  And make a To Do list daily!  Put it somewhere accessible (pull out those iPhones, Droids, Blackberries, or whatever you have, there are free apps for this!) and check it ALL THE TIME.  Make one for the day, then the week, then the month, then the YEAR.  Without a To Do list you are far less likely to reach your goals...and we all want to reach our goals right?

So every Friday in this challenge we are to list our 10 goals, and our 1 Push Goal.  For shiggles, I decided to post my 10 goals from today here for you all to see (what I want to accomplish in the next year)...HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE PEOPLE!!!  I can't do it without you!

My Push Goal:  Pay off my debt!
1.  Pay off all of my credit cards.
2.  Become an EMERALD coach (Nicole Morse, we can do this!)
3.  Make more time for ME
4.  Create a budget...and stick to it!  (No more living paycheck to paycheck!)
5.  Go on a weekend getaway every other month.
6.  Pass the GMAT!
7.  Get into grad school at RMU (can you say propelling my business???)
8.  Spend more time with my "family" (I put family in " " because I consider family to be blood and those that I CONSIDER family...aka my friends)
9.  Get to my new target weight of 120!
10. Become more active in the National Kidney Foundation in the honor and memory of my Aunt Karen.

Ok Guys!  Your turn!  Email me YOUR 10 goals...Tell me what YOU want to achieve over the next week...month...year...5 years...10 years...Then sit back and think about how you can reach them...How I can help you reach them!

xoxo

AMAZING

Hello :)


SO Kati already posted this in her blog...but I also want to share it here...


I just got this message from someone that I have been friends with since pre-school. She messaged me back when I started coaching and asked me about Beachbody, and said that she had P90X...well, her and I have been messaging back and forth since then, and because of me being so excited about it, she started doing P90X and living a healthier lifestyle. 

Well she just sent me this message...and it put the biggest smile on my face, because if I would have NEVER started coaching, she would have NEVER experienced this...P90X was sitting in her closet...anyway...here it is :)

"Hey!! Just finished yoga x! I didn't want to try it at first but I am so happy I did!! Loved it! I feel stupid tying this but tears were coming out at one point cause I just felt so relaxed and happy. I was proud of myself at some of the moves I thought I wouldn't be able to do! Just had to share that with you. I might look for that cookbook u said u use. Where did u get it??"

She made my day :)


It showed me that I can make a difference and change lives...I LOVE IT :)

My "Why?"

So today I was given a homework assignment from my wonderful coach :)  And instead of emailing her my answer, I decided that I would post it here and share it with everyone.  SO here goes...

When becoming a Beachbody Coach (yes, I know you love my little "click here to join my team!" links), the first aspect of coaching that they ask you to reflect on is your "Why"...meaning why did you want to become a coach?  What motivates you?  What do you want to accomplish by joining this amazing group of people?  So I am going to share with you my why...

My first why is definitely because it is a BLAST!  Being a part of this team is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and it makes everyday so much fun!  Everyone is so upbeat and positive, and we all keep each other motivated and happy all of the time!  I am pretty sure that I have had a smile on my face 24/7 for the past few weeks. 

The potential for financial success is also a big driver for me.  Granted, I am not in it for the money...but it would definitely be an added bonuns.  I mean, who doesn't like to get paid for doing something that they LOVE to do?

But most importantly...My biggest "why" is pure passion. I started this journey on my own, and quickly Kati took me under her wing. I am so greatful for that and I am super lucky to have a coach like her. Because of this journey, we have very quickly become very close friends and I know that I can count on her for more than just health and fitness related things. I want to be to other what she is to me. Not only a motivator and supporter, but a great friend and someone that people can turn to without feeling ashamed or embarrassed. I have quickly become very passionate about being fit and living a healthy lifestyle, and I want to share my enthusiasm with anyone that will listen (and even those who don't know that they want to hear it yet). But I also want to listen to others and learn their goals and dreams, much like Kati did with me!  This is a scary thing to embark on alone, but you don't have to!  That is why I am here...to be your support system when you are feeling down, to push you to bring it even when you feel like you had a long day at work and you are too tired, to listen when you feel like everything is going wrong in your life, and to help you figure out what you need to do to make you happy!

I am going to end this post with a couple of awesome quotes that I found...
   
"Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and belive, and it will come naturally." - David Frost

"Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you known you can lose." - Tom Krause

"Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.  Be bold.  When you embark for strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore.  Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory." - Alan Alda

"Look within.  Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig." - Marcus Aurelius

And my favorite...this is the one that we shoul ALL aspire to live by...

"Trust yourself.  Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.  Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement." - Golda Meir
