BUTTE!

Every time I go to Butte I feel like I get to share more pieces of my life there with Cody and Brooklyn.  One of the very best parts of not returning to work is getting back to Butte much more often. I appreciate so much the ability to spend more time with my parents and my great friends who still live in Butte. This time we have a balance of planned activities and free time. I'm not one who loves to "go, go, go". Plus, when you have a little one, it's nice to just be at the home base relaxing. Brooklyn, Grandma P, and I will get to spend time with my girlfriends at Tahya's house. I'm anxious to catch up with the girls and their little ones and moms. It will be a little high school throw back. Cody and I are going to the Dynamic Dance & Tumbling show while Papa Sid watches B. This will be his first time seeing a show and God knows I speak endlessly about the studio. It was such a giant part of my life and I love that he's going to see what Krista does and how excellent her kids are. B and I will join Grandma P's "Restaurant Hoppers" group lunch so she can show off her grandbaby! We will also get to catch (pun intended) one or two of Butte Central's softball games which Papa Sid coaches. I <3 BUTTE!

Here are some other "must do's" while I'm in town this week:

1. Bbq on my parents' patio (the weather may inhibit this desire, but it's still on my list)
2. Check out the new Quarry Brewing location
3. Visit Headframe Spirits (yep, there's a pattern)
4. Workout with Tahya at least twice
5. Get a manicure with Krista and hit up Twisted Sisters (the CUTEST little boutique in Butte)
6. Introduce Brooklyn to Elizabeth

If the weather was going to be better, this list would be much larger. But, it's supposed to rain so the rest will be improvised!

Beachbody Coaching-Why?

It was around 4:00 am in 2006. I was in my downtown SLC apartment (not sleeping) when I saw the "Turbo Jam" infomercial. The little blonde lady (Chalene Johnson) on my screen captured my attention instantly. She was bubbly and fun and SO enthusiastic about her kickboxing workout. Needless to say I ordered the program. This was my intro to Beachbody- the company behind Turbo Jam, P90X, Insanity, Brazil Butt Lift, etc.
 

Not too long after I got into Turbo Jam I was talking to a dear friend, Betsy, and discovered she also LOVED Turbo Jam. She was the first person I knew that had become a Beachbody Coach. I started looking into it and was excited about what I found. I started "friending" other coaches on Facebook, and started asking them questions about it. Everything I heard and read was ultra positive. What a fabulous community of health and fitness minded people. I decided I needed to become a part of this world. I had since become friends on FB with Jenelle Summers (Chalene's sister who stars in her videos) and she posted about a challenge one of her coaches was hosting. I friended that coach, Kami, and started asking her my questions: Why did you become a coach? How does it work? How much does it cost? Etc., etc., etc.....(I always have lots of questions!) I liked what she said and how responsive she was so I signed up to be a coach under her. What a good decision THAT was! I've been a coach for about a year and a half and want to share with you the TOP 3 best things about being a Beachbody Coach:

1. MOTIVATION! Since I'm a Beachbody Coach, I refuse to slack. People are looking to me to set a good example and that drives me. Big time. 
2. The products WORK! Before I got pregnant, I had lost 12 lbs and 2 pant sizes with Turbo Fire and Shakeology. Post pregnancy, I'm down 42 lbs and 18 inches overall. I'm not to my goal yet but I know with Shakeology and the Turbo Fire/ChaLean Extreme hybrid I'm doing, I WILL get there. 
3. SHAKEOLOGY! This product is ridiculous. It contains 70+ of the healthiest super foods from around the world. It is filled with protein, prebiotics, probiotics, and antioxidants. It's low in calories (140) , very filling and it tastes amazing. As a coach you get 25% off of all Beachbody products and that was a no brainer for me since I knew I would be using ShakeO for the forseeable future.

 There are many more fantastic things about being a coach. If you want to know more, just ask!
