My Success is Lasting Change

 Tammy and I are currently on a rest week. We just completed 60-days of Les Mills COMBAT and will now be waiting for our free T-shirts. It was a fun time doing Combat and it turned out to be a great maintenance program for us. We started the routine doing the “Warrior” basic program, but at week 5 we wanted more so we switch to the “Ultimate Warrior Hybrid” routine. The more advanced upper & lower body workouts were a bit more like the other “extreme” programs like P90X and Insanity. Now during this time of rest I am looking back over not just the past 60-days, but the past 6 years. What does my success look like? You know… Decide, Commit, Succeed. Some of you know my Journey began late one night back in Nov. 2007. Comforting a newborn late at night I stumbled on a P90X commercial. It was the challenge I needed.

Baby Kensley

I was turning 40 soon and had lost much of my “zing” in life. I was starting to hurt myself trying to be the athlete that I no longer was. Fast forward 6-plus years and I would say that my success was not in pounds lost or even body fat change (although it went from near 20% to 6%), but the success of having stuck with it. I like to say, I Reversed the Trend. I am well into my 40’s and not “Over the Hill” on a coast downward but “Charging the Hill”. So we all measure success in different ways, but I have been very grateful to have found something like Team Beachbody to continue to push and challenge me in both my nutrition and fitness. I do feel like I have come so far. My prayer is that you are also on a similar journey.

Tony Time

Come April 1st it will be back to P90X. We may toss in some Insanity for cardio substitutions every so often, but it will be mostly Tony Horton until July. I like Tony (enough to listen to his jokes over and over) and honestly someday hope we can go skiing together. Along with the workouts we will be looking into Going Vegan, P90X® Style. Our nutrition since the Ultimate Reset in October is still very much plant-based. It has been working for us. Tony has a good article Flexitarian- WHAT DIET IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Lastly on the Tony front, here is The Bring It Minute with Tony Horton to check out.

If you want to join Tammy and I on April 1st with P90X or any other workout we are having people join a closed Facebook group each month as part of the “Beachbody Challenge”. If you want to step up and join us message my or find me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jaybbcoach

March Challenge Pack Discount

There are still a few days left in March for the P90X & P90X2 discounts. The pack is Fitness + Nutrition + Support = Success. You receive the P90X or P90X2 fitness program, one of four Shakeology flavors, and a free 30-day trial membership to the Team Beachbody Club. The reduced price is from $205 to $180.

Here are the Links – P90X or P90X2

The Ultimate Reset is also discounted in March by $30. You can reply to me to discuss it this is for you and the different ordering options.

Grand-fathered in

It is time to get locked in on the pricing of the Chocolate and Greenberry Shakeology before the increase on April 1, 2013. Shakeology is increasing by .33 cents a day for the original flavors (Which will match the current pricing of the vegan formulas). When we launched Shakeology gas prices were less than $2... We are paying $4.50 now.. Gas increased 125% and that impacts every raw ingredient price and has resulted in annual shipping rate increases -- but Shakeology's price only increased 8.33% during that same period of time. Good news is that if you on HD now or have an HD order placed before April 1st you are locked in on the current price for life. HD (Home-Direct) orders also get free shipping and handling and can be set on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly or even semi-annual shipping schedule and also altered anytime. It is only the flavor that has to remain either Chocolate or Greenberry to keep the pricing in tacked. Also the 30-day empty bag money back guarantee still applies. So place order before April 1st even for an order that does not even start shipping until June. Contact me for details.

Highlighting someone special

I wanted to share a post by Tammy - 25 Things About Me
I am so grateful for the beautifully thoughtful, caring and diligent wife the Lord has blessed our family with.

Just Checking In

It rained (wet snow) today here in the Northern Sierra Mountains, so I did not have any ski team coaching. Although this is the second year of low snow totals, it has been a good year. I really enjoy it. Since Tammy and I home-educate our children we have had the opportunity to ski as a family usually once a week.

With the bit of "free" time this week-end I wanted to get out an update post. Back in July I hoped to be really good at staying in touch but I have struggled, yet I do my best and forget the rest. I really do enjoy the opportunities I have for mutual support through phone conversations or e-mail. Being a coach has meant so much to me.  Coaching has held me accountable to clean eating and regular workouts and I thank many of you for being there for me.

"Staying with the Fight"

Tammy and I are in the middle of our 60-days of Les Mills COMBAT. It has been different from the other routines we have done and all-in-all we are enjoying it. In April we plan to Start P90X again and incorporate some Insanity. I am interested to see how we do with the workouts and our more plant-based nutrition. If you want to join with us in the challenge,  March has a good deal on P90X and P90X2. See below.

Tammy getting "modernized"

While I am your "coach", Tammy and I are a team. She has been great with all of the nutrition (meal planning and prep) and balancing this all with raising a family. My hope is that you can take advantage of what she has to offer as a fit-woman, wife and mother of young children. She is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/tammy.garbarino  and does many great food/nutrition postings on Pinterest (http://pinterest.com/tgarbarino/) and instagram (http://instagram.com/tgarb6) . Lastly, you can see our home-education postings at http://garbarinofamily.blogspot.com/.

Food for thought

I have been enjoying many of the articles recently  highlighted at the Teambeachbody.com site.
I always appreciate Steve Edwards, especially his words here, 5 Reasons You Could Be Gaining Weight. when he states “So the moral of today's lesson is to trust your exercise program…”
Two other I enjoyed posts : The 8-Week Transition Diet & Why You Should Wear a Heart Rate Monitor

Everyone likes a Deal

For the month of March the P90X Challenge Pack and the P90X2 Challenge Pack
