Sunday Inspiration ~ What I’m Reading

The Slight Edge is a book I’m reading through personal development with BeachBody. It explains about how to get the “slight edge” in business and in life by doing the things that are the small, easy things to do (or not to do). It’s very motivating.

I just started Hypnobirthing by recommendation by a few friends who birthed this way and my midwife who has seen it in action. It teaches a way to be fully present in your birth but not feel the pain. I’m all for that!

Organized Simplicity is just as it sounds about organizing and simplifying your home. It’s not just the ideas of it though – it puts it into action. I have created a purpose statement for my home so I can stay on track with chores, friends, and all the stuff we own (or will get rid of). Today I start tackling the living room – wish me luck!

What are you reading and what’s inspiring you?

Welcome to my Home Wednesday ~ BeachBody

Jennie

I am really excited because I just became a new BeachBody Coach! I am waiting on my start up box to get here with my new workout video – Yoga Booty Ballet and my box of Shakeology. I want to stay fit during this pregnancy and I love dancing and yoga, so I thought this would be a perfect fit. It would keep my body moving and stretching while I prepare for a VBAC delivery and the Shakeology will help me keep up my calorie intake with all the great supplements it has too.

So, why BeachBody? I believe in taking care of your body through exercise, supplements, and good food. I was won over with a sample of Shakeology. It tastes really good (doesn’t taste like chalk like many others), it has really good ingredients in it, and it seems to go above and beyond just a meal replacement or protein shake. It has food based supplements in it – it’s like taking a vitamin!!!

Also, I get to help others achieve their fitness goals. That’s exciting in itself! I am hoping to see people set goals, reach them, and feel good about their bodies. So many of us don’t have body confidence, but this is our only body. Let’s do good by it! If you think Shakeology or a new fitness routine is something you may need, please visit my BeachBody page and let me know how I can help you achieve it.

I get to stay at home and do all of these things so I can be with my little one all day too! If I can share, BeachBody with others (especially Stay at Home Moms) so they can create a business that works for them I would love to! Let me know, and I can answer your questions about the company.
