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.

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

Cranking out some Pasta

Everyone likes a Deal

For the month of March the P90X Challenge Pack and the P90X2 Challenge Pack
are reduced from $205 to $180.  What a great deal to get both a great workout and Shakeology.


Also, for anyone that has been thinking about the Ultimate Reset, in the month of March, Beachbody is offering reduced pricing.

Coach's Corner - 12/21/12

Looks like we may have to put "The End" on hold and pony up

Well if you believe the Mayans (or at least all those that talk about the Mayans) this will be my last message and I wish you the best of health.

As simple as that would sound to just have everything just end, most likely life will continue to go on and we will continue to have decisions to make that shape our future. So salute to the future and 2013 and making choices that continue to reverse the negative trends in our lives. It is not all about fitness & nutrition either. For the later part of last year I had been reading the book & workbook called "Love & Respect" by Emerson Eggerichs. It has been a slow work and I have much to work on. So now with the world going on I hope to continue to strive to be the best husband I can. While it has been a challenge to push myself thought P90X, Insanity, etc., changing the character of my soul seems to be the biggest challenge. So no matter your test and trials, I pray that you can face them as I press through my own.

Plants are treating us well

Our family continues to enjoy a mainly plant-based diet and even with working hard at our fitness routines, we are feeling really good. Tammy is still amazed that she has been holding her post Ultimate Reset physique. Honestly, even before birthing 4 babies she was not as lean, toned and strong as she is now. She is a great role-model and I hope that her knowledge and enthusiasm will help many. We do feel a bit "nuts" sometimes applying all that we have learned about our nutrition, but really we are not crazy people.

Chocolate Shakeology revamp, take two.

This July when the whey-protein based Chocolate Shakeology was changed to a more robust Super-Food formulation, many were upset. Even more so, after Carl (Beachbody CEO) Blogged I Challenge Your Tongue To A Duel!. Carl is one of the most passionate men I know about wanting to create healthy products, so I could understand him wanting people to "stick" with it for the health reasons. But alas, it did not taste at all the same. It was still better than everything else on the market, and it did "grow" on us. We started using the Choc. Vegan Formula and the Tropical Strawberry, so we were fine. Carl wanted to listen to the many that voiced disgust. Therefore, a "Shakeology Tasting Panel" was created with a variety of coaches and customers. I was on the panel and Beachbody did a great job listening and made chocolate Shakeology taste (in Tammy and my opinion) better than anything before, while retaining all  the new superfood additions. It is shipping now and we look forward to tasting the "Customer Approved" formula.

About the Family

Winter is here and it is snowing as I type. It has been great ski coaching again this year at a local resort. We have already had many days skiing together as a family. This is only year two of skiing for our children and they are doing so well. It is nice to have this winter activity. We have been enjoying hot cocoa, cider and Tammy's excellent toffee. We also enjoyed cutting our own Christmas tree again this year. Tammy and I wish you a Merry CHRISTmas and hope for a continued friendship in the new year.
P.S. - I have told so many of you that are doing Insanity that Tammy and I were in the Infomercial. Well here is a Clip of our 4-seconds of fame. (at 0:14 to 0:15 & 1:15 to 1:16.) Insanity Video - Jay and Tammy

Wishing Darin Olien was more than a Facebook Friend

Trying not to sound like a Stalker, but it would be great to be super good friends with Darin Olien. When ever I hear him speak or rear anything he wrote, I think,"Man it would great to have dinner with this guy and just chat for hours. I so appreciate his passion for life. With that I wanted to share a post from the Shakeology.com Blog Page

"Why I Created Shakeology"
by Darin Olien

I started formulating Shakeology with some questions. I asked myself many questions such as: "What do most bodies require in this day and age?", "What is not being delivered in food today (even good, organic food)?", "What are the gaps in nutrition that need to be filled for the majority of people?", "What's lacking from the food we eat?"
The fact is, these days our food is lacking all sorts of nutrients. The nutrient density of our food has continued to plummet as the value of money has trumped the value of quality. It is insane, but true!
The facts are well documented. Pushing farm production has depleted soils. Crops of non-nutritive foods have replaced nutrition-dense foods. Pesticides and genetic modification is wreaking havoc. We're basically putting more food into the pipeline which has less of what we need and more of what we don't need; on a biological level, your body hardly recognizes some of the food you are swallowing.
So ask yourself, how do you expect your body to live tirelessly, vibrantly, with the power to defend itself from disease if what is being fed to it is like putting dirty gas in the tank of a Ferrari?
Shakeology is the equivalent of a super-charged multi-vitamin and protein-rich health smoothie. When choosing what ingredients were to make up Shakeology, my main deciding factor was the level of every body's' need for vital ingredients that most likely are missing from the average diet. They are as follows:

• 1. Whole Foods: So many supplements on the market are just fragmentations of the complete matrix of real food. Think of it like taking the most popular scene from a two hour movie and calling that the movie. It's incomplete without the character development, plot, and nuance that make it a holistic experience. The same goes with food. On a biological level, your body needs the whole "movie" to get the complete benefit of the vitamin or mineral that is the star. You just cannot replace or re-engineer the incredible balance and creation of whole foods. So we selected high quality, potent foods, herbs, grasses and ingredients, and processed them minimally to preserve the integrity, phytochemicals, natural vitamins, minerals, alkaloids, phytosterols, etc.
• 2. Vitamins and Minerals: We included quality nutrition from potent and varying whole-food sources. ("Nutrition, right off the vine" as I like to call it) And then we backed that up by adding in a well-balanced vitamin and mineral profile since whole-foods fluctuate from crop to crop.
• 3. Enzymes: Since enzymes flood the food only in the last days of ripening, enzyme supplementation is critical for the majority of people. Even if you eat all raw foods the enzymes are still low. And cooked food has ZERO active enzymes! A very quick note…why Enzymes? They have been called "The Fountain of Life!" They are behind EVERY single process in the body! Yes, EVERTHING requires enzymes! The labor force of the body that digests, absorbs, allow for signals to be sent, creates new blood cells, etc are all governed by enzymes. You would be shocked at how starved your body has been for enzyme support. That's why the addition of these vital forces to Shakeology was so critical!
• 4. Prebiotics and Probiotics: We've all heard about foods with additive probiotics, like yogurts for instance. Did you know that your body can actually manifest its own probiotics if you feed it prebiotics? With the way people eat today they have created thriving environments for unhealthy bacteria in the body. This has created all sorts of debilitating breakdowns and is the foundation for physical and emotional fatigue. The prebiotics of the amazing Yacon Root in Shakeology is food for the "healthy" bacteria, and in turn, it creates an environment for healthy probiotics to flourish. By getting our internal 'ecosystem' in balance, you have the potential for a vibrant, thriving body and life!
• 5. MSM- (Methylsulfonylmethane): MSM is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in fresh, raw fruits, vegetables, milk, fish, and grains. But within hours of harvest, MSM changes and is virtually gone. That's why it is very difficult to get MSM naturally, because where ancient man ate what he picked almost instantly, today it is picked, processed and packaged months before it hits the table. Why is it important? MSM is critical to the connective tissue and the fluidity (or space) between cells! MSM gives them "room to breathe". When the body becomes very ridged, tight, painful and stiff, often times MSM is at very low quantities in the body. Since we are not eating our own foods immediately after harvesting we must supplement this vital component or the body has a hard time staying healthy and flexible on a cellular level, which translates throughout the body on a bio-mechanical level as well.

If we want our health to improve, we need to be aware so we can choose differently! So this is why I created Shakeology- it's my intention to fulfill the deep desire of EVERY body's need to be fed more nutrition.

To that I (Jay) say, Thanks "Buddy" keep up the good work!

Happy to be a Part of Something Worthy

Tammy and I have been doing well with our workouts, even after 3-weeks off in October. It is always more difficult to make the commitment to get up early and push ourselves, but after a week or two in, it feels so energizing. While I am pressing play consistently, I still wish I was more helpful to you. I want to be available for you and I hope that any communication we have will be an encouragement to both of us. I want to be like the First Responder that Carl (C.E.O of Beachbody) spoke of at our Coach Summit.

 Richard Neal Is On A Mission To Rescue Tennessee From Obesity
 

It may sound like a stretch comparing ourselves to the brave and courageous men and women that literally save lives everyday, but it is very close to the truth. It is not a house on fire that is going up quickly, but it is the gradual decay of inactivity and obesity that is taking lives. If not death itself, it is taking away the quality of life of many around us that we love. I often have so much I want to share, but honestly I am overwhelmed with taking the steps to share. I am excited to be a part in many of your lives and have enjoyed the conversations, they have truly blessed me.

Inside Training for an Outside World

Inside training - Starting Oct. 29 Tammy and I set out to work through most of the DVD workouts we own. We went through  P90X with Insanity for Cardio and just finished P90X Plus. We are doing Yoga once a week with either Yoga X (the first 48 min), Fountain of Youth or Yoga: MC2. I really enjoy Tony’s yoga routines, except the ohms at the end (MC2). Sorry Tony, I love ya, but just not into the “making noise in my house”. Future plans are to go through Insanity: Asylum, then possibly a P90X / Turbo Fire Hybrid. We hope to do rounds of P90X2 and Les Mills PUMP in 2013.

Outside World - We had some great backpacking, hiking and family bike rides this summer, and now we are heading into winter. We got the whole family up skiing last Tuesday. It was a bit warm still, but it reminded me of the great times we had last year and the good-times to come.

Our Reset Experience

Just like how P90X, in 2007, was so instrumental in setting me on a stronger and healthier path, the Ultimate Reset may prove to also have life altering changes in my family's health. Not everyone that completes the Reset has a “food identity crisis”, but Tammy and I have really taken to heart what we learned through it and continue to discuss what role food (and different types of food) plays in our lives. For now each 6th week we are going to mostly stretch/rest and follow a complete 7 days in the 21-Day Reset meal plan.
