I'm a Team Beach Body Coach!

Yes, I finally did it. After years of being addicted to Chalean Extreme and Shakeology and sending all kinds of friends and acquaintances to *other* coaches for help, I decided I was enough "in the know" to become a coach myself!

Trust me, I'm no fitness guru. I didn't lose 100 pounds on my own or anything amazing like that. I'm not totally buff or totally skinny. I don't always eat what is good for me. I love margaritas and Dairy Queen. I'm just like you. BUT, I *am* totally addicted to fitness. I'm committed. As a matter of fact, I'm supposed to be doing day 19 of TurboFire RIGHT NOW, and it's giving me agita since I am blogging instead. People always think I am much younger than I am, and at 44 years old I still wear a size 4, so I figure I must do doing something right.

I found Chalene Johnson through the Beach Body site while I was searching around for P90X. I'm sure you've heard of it......*everyone* is doing it. It's supposed to be amazing. As a runner, I didn't think it was right for me~~ I also have nerve damage in my left elbow from a kindergarten swing accident (side bar: tell your kids NOT to jump off the swings!) which makes things like push ups and chin ups almost impossible for me. (I end up doing them with my right arm alone!) Enter Chalene. I love this woman. What a fabulous set of DVDs. By the end of the series I was lifting weights heavier than I ever thought possible. I was RIPPED. And ready to move onto the next level.

Enter TurboFire. It just came out in July. Again, I run, so I was going to wait until the winter to buy the DVDs so I could use them in the cold months. WELL. I couldn't wait and bought them about 3 weeks ago. They. Kick. My. Butt! Holy COW.....I thought I was in pretty good shape! I was WRONG. I am sweating like I've never sweat before and I LOVE it!!!

Now I need a BodyBugg. Don't get me started. I'll save it for another time. In the meantime, check out my Beady Body website. Click on the Shop Team Beach Body link and look around. Read about Chalean Extreme and TurboFire. Check it out. I'm here if you have any questions!

Okay! Got to run and do the Fire 45 EZ class......don't let the EZ fool you!!

A Sweet Little Necklace

I have many wonderful customers that return to me again and again. Sometimes they have special requests for me. I just made this sweet little necklace for a super nice customer of mine in Canada. She was going to purchase one of my ID bracelets for a christening gift and really wanted this type of necklace to go with it. She also gave me a huge compliment saying that she wanted to purchase both pieces from me as she knows the quality of my jewelry is outstanding. So, I indulged her. This is by no means an original piece as I have seen many versions of the capped crystal necklace, but it is sweet just the same. I may or may not offer it on my website. We'll see!
