but Paula, I don't have time...

Yes you do....

You just need to first change your mindset and negativity. Yes you can do it and yes you have time....we all have the same 24 hours in a day... And you can definitely make it work if you really want it to happen. Whatever your why is, make that your driving force to make you do this.... It takes 21 days for it to become a habit so stay with the course.... 

Ok so here it is......

Start it tomorrow. Would you try?

So U will leave all your workout stuff and DVD ready the night before, get up at 5 right away splash water on your face and change. ️

Workout 30 minutes, take your sweatyselfie 😜 and post it in the respective challenge group. 

Then hop in the shower, get out, make your Shakeology, your healthy dose of dense nutrition, which you will order from me, and drink it while You get dressed. Tons of recipes and yummy flavors to keep your palate entertained. 

Out the door all happy and accomplished to carry on with your day. 

You'll make better food choices, you'll be in a better mood, you'll be burning calories the rest of the day!! And you will go to bed feeling accomplished because you have it your best. 

Repeat every day! 😊

That's it! You may wake up one day and feel all sleepy head and all, that's fine, sleep a little longer, but the next day, get back to the routine. If you go two consecutive days feeling like a sleepy head and skipping the routine, you are just being lazy! 

3 day Jumpstart Results with the 3 day refresh

Ooops I did it again!! Ha!

After all the nice yummy treats, panettone and pernil I had this Holiday Season, I had to put a stop on this. I have some serious goals to crush like.....hmmmm getting more defined and finish leaning out. I'm still holding on to some body fat that I want to get rid of so this 3 day refresh was my go to tool to kick off my new plan!! 

I won't explain it all here but you can read all about it here ===> http://coachpaulachavez.blogspot.com/2014/10/i-broke-bad-habits-3-day-refresh-before.html

I explain how it works and how I did it last year about three months ago, and this time I did exactly the same.... 

Lost 6lbs then, lost 6 lbs this time around, again. 

You need this! Everyone does! It's affordable. It's easy to follow. It's just three days and the amazing changes you'll feel from this point on are priceless!! Bottom line is, it gives your body a break from all the food your body is used to without compromising muscle and energy levels, the way juicing and not eating enough will do. 

Want to do this? Want to give it a try? Message me ASAP to get you started. I'll coach you through it. I'll help you succeed!

2014 WAS AN AMAZING YEAR!

I know I'm a little late to the party but here I go... a recap of this past year!!! Honestly, it was too good! I consider myself one lucky girl!!!!  2014 was the first year I set goals and decided to Dream Big and I put my heart and soul into everything I did and I crushed some big ones!!! Doors definitely opened!

I am thankful for 2014 blessings, health, growth and tons of beautiful moments with my family and my kids!
There's a few big moments for me that I really want to highlight but know that there are plenty plenty more!!!

- one of my biggest Dreams was to teach fitness classes and my dream came true.  I had a goal of teaching two classes weekly and ended up with a few more.  I absolutely love teaching and love being able to bring my love for Insanity and Piyo, and health and wellness, live to so many people! it is beyond amazing!

- Earlier in the year I made a huge change in my Beachbody business that made a huge impact and made me realize how much I love being a Coach! I became a part of the Dream Team and become a stronger leader and better coach, of course, always striving to become better and and better.  Great things coming for our team this 2015.  2014 was just the warm up!





- had the amazing privilege to be selected for a makeover, sponsored by Macy's and American Heart Association to represent Go Red For Women - American Heart Association in The New York Fashion week launch.  Fighting Heart Disease is a cause very dear to my heart! It runs in my family and has taken the lives of many in my family, including my father, who passed away from a massive heart attack in October of 2012.  My mission is to show other people that lifestyle changes will save their lives!
From designer dresses to super high end hair dressers and make up artists, this was an amazingly, unforgettable experience!

- attended CoachSummit 2014!!! That was an epic weekend!!! got to workout live with Tony Horton, Autumn Calabrese, Dan, Jericho and Joel (from Les mills), and that was a dream come true as well.  Got to workout live with Chalene and Shaun T again.  Met so many coaches and people that share the same passion as me, since that moment on I felt that this really is my true calling and will continue to work hard and do anything at my reach to help people change their lives.  Seeing the challenge winners was amazing!!!  Confirmation that the power of people helping people is beyond imaginable!

- ran my first half marathon in great company!!! It wasn't easy!! my motivation was to do this to honor my dad's memory! I figured if I had a reason to do it, bigger than myself, I would go through the training and ups and downs like a pro!  If it wasn't for the amazing support and motivation from my training buddies, THE DIVAS  and the incredible support and coaching from my hubby, this would have been an unaccomplished goal.  I admire runners and without a doubt, i love running, but it is hard! I do want to beat my time of 2:!3 and will one day go back and finish it in less than 2.

You can count on that but for now, my focus is on  growing my business, helping my Team succeed, my Challengers and my mission of helping people achieve their goals, live healthier and happier lives!

















2015 is bound to be amazing! I can feel it!!! This year there will be more purpose, more resources, more fun... we will be doing everything with a purpose..... we are #sweatingforhearts paying it forward and helping others... people need people! people helping people!

There's a lot more to be thankful for.  I have met some amazingly inspiring people.... gosh.... people from all over that came to me as challengers and then became more than that..... Thank you to everyone who follows me for support, tips, inspiration and motivation... know that whatever I do, i do it with all my HEART! <3

TONS OF CHEERS!!!!!!

IT'S TIME FOR YOUR TRANSFORMATION

It's time to get serious about this lifestyle change and transformation you've been wanting to work on...

Here is the deal... you have to make changes, that's for sure, but the good news is..... it's not that hard and they don't need to happen overnight.... Change happens, it may take a little longer than we would like it to, but trust me, it happens! and it FEELS SO GOOD!!!

You can do this alone or you can choose to use some help.... I got your back! I'm here to help you and teach you everything you need to know to make this work for you and your busy life.
I will show you what has worked for me and it's not just because it works for me but because this plan I have for you is PROVEN OVER AND OVER, with hundreds of success stories, that it is doable and it can CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Seriously, how many things have you tried and nothing.... either you quit too soon or failed or not the results you wanted...

Picture this: meal plans, shopping list, recipes, portion control system, education, exercise at the convenience of your home and busy schedule, daily tips, motivation and support to help you get through this journey and help you crush your goals.

Now.... the best of it is that you get me,..... you get me, super passionate about helping you fell like I do... These stuff changed my life and my biggest dream is to see many many more people daily feel as good as My challengers and myself feel. it is such an amazing feeling!!! You have to give yourself the opportunity to feel this way!!!! I will be here with you every step of the way, but of course, you have to do your part!

I have a brand new program for my challenge groups starting this January!!!

We are going in with a NO EXCUSE MENTALITY and with more resources for my challengers to SUCCEED!!! It's just not optional!! we need to make it happen this year! and it begins now!

Are you really serious about this health & fitness resolutions?? this won't be just another diet! I want this to be your new lifestyle! I'll show you how easy it is and how easy it is to implement so that it becomes a part of you! I know it is easier than you think! you are just overthinking it!

Ok so for the next 60 days I will show you how to eat clean, how much to eat, keep you accountable daily to try and get all those 30 minutes of exercise daily and of course, show you that it is doable and it won't take time from your life.  After just a few days you will find you are:

• happier
• energetic
• less tired
• less grumpy 

and of course even more benefits that you won't see right away but after a few days you'll notice: 

• less cravings of junk 
• lose clothes
• making better food choices
• new habits
• stronger
• more productive
• better posture 
• positive outlook
• great energy 
• new friends..... etc   

Everything is done online... in a closed Facebook group were only challengers will see what is posted, so don't worry, no one outside of the group will see whats going on! This challengers, like minded people will become your friends, I've seen amazing friendships come up from these groups. You will learn, connect, grow and gain inspiration from each other.  It is such a powerful part of my plan!!! It's up to you when you decide to share with people about what you are doing and your results.... they will start noticing soon! 

The food you'll be eating is healthy, affordable, things you've probably seen everywhere but didn't even know tasted good.  You'll learn about water intake, effects of sugar and not having it, you'll clean up your body from the inside out! you'll learn about kale and quinoa, what to eat and at what times, what super foods and its benefits are.... you will feel amazing from the inside out without a doubt!

A lot of our health diseases are a product of bad eating habits... I have done lots of studying on this subject and I'll be more than happy to share it all with you! I want you to succeed!

ok time to get this party started! 

Huge changes can be made in a short amount of time! If you think this is what you need to finally get that transformation you have dreamed for.... complete the application below and I will contact you within the next few hours to get you started!

CHRISTMAS WEEK MEAL PLAN

This is probably the most stressful week of the year...

Little time and lots of anxiety and things to do, so I am keeping it easy and light so I can enjoy Wednesday night eats without guilt.  

Of course working out daily, drinking Shakeology, water, a salad a day  and making good choices are a must....ALWAYS!! Those are non-negotiables, no matter what day of the week it is or what season we are in... 

This is my meal plan for this week... feel free to get ideas from it and share with friends! 

Hope it helps and if you want to polish it and adjust a few things, feel free to copy it and edit it. Any questions, please feel free to ask.  Happy Holidays!!!

Season w salt and pepper to taste 

2 eggs 

2 tablespoons ground flaxseed 

Salad

1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half 

1 English cucumber 

Lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Hubby keeps telling me how much he loves me because this dinner was so yummy!! So easy! So lean! So healthy 

Ok so now, are you going to join me in this challenge??? 

Lives will be changed!!! 

INSANITY: MAX30 is coming!! take your fitness to the next level!

You may have seen my transformation with Insanity and other Beachbody programs...  (in case you haven't) and all the fun we have in class when I teach Insanity Live,  it's almost time for you to be able to experience it for yourself too!  But this time is with Insanity Max30, which will be available December 2nd, MY BIRTHDAY!!!    I'm so excited excited to take my fitness to the next level and for you to experience the newest Shaun T fitness program! If you are ready to challenge yourself physically and mentally.  

Insanity Max 30 is full of 150 new moves to help you dig a little deeper and get your body in the very best shape of your life.  This workout combines cardio and strength moves without using any equipment at all. Just as in Insanity and PIYO, we use our body to shape our body!   60 days  broken down into month 1 and month 2.  The workouts are 30 minutes but you work your best until you "MAX OUT" and go as hard as you can until you have to take a break!  We get to track that time every workout. 

Who is Insanity Max30 for?  It is for anyone at any fitness level who wants to reach a better fitness level.  Insanity not only changed my body, it also helped me change mentally... I learned that I was stronger than I thought I was, I learned to believe in myself and allow myself the opportunity to experience my full fitness potential.  I now love challenges and I give them my best, day by day, improving. and this will be a great opportunity for me and you to find that next level. 

Yes there will be weight loss, improved cardio and strength conditioning, you will be able to do more.  And it's only 5 days of the week, so you get plenty of rest and recovery to recharge and continue moving forward. 

What are the workouts like:

The workouts in month 1 are a combination of cardio and tabata style strength workouts!  You no longer have a fit test like Insanity but every single workout is your fit test because your goal  is to beat your time from the day before!  and to make it even more accessible to everyone of any fitness level, there are 2 modifiers, male and female and you can choose to have the screen focus more on the modifiers

It's about going as hard as you can for as long as you can, until you MAX OUT.  

Includes: 
10 DVDs with the workout routines
Specific Nutrition Guide
Restaurant Guide 
Wall Calendar

again, It's a 60 day program but you may repeat it as 
long as you wish. 

YOU WILL ALSO GET THIS GIFT WITH YOUR ORDER: It's only available through purchasing from a COACH, and it's bound to be a very sweaty one! Perfect for those #sweatyselfiewithpaula selfies  hahaha

We will get a meal plan, which I highly recommend we follow and I will help you plan out the meals, shopping trips, making it easier for you to apply it to your dietary needs and lifestyle.  Trust me, YOU CAN'T JUST WING THIS PART OF THE PROGRAM AND EXPECT RESULTS!  WE ARE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER TO FINISH STRONG! 

Ok, there's plenty more details available upon request... I don't want to make this post too long. Make sure you click this link to Join the Facebook  Insanity Max 30: Infomational group  to get more updates, videos, and get your hands on it the minute it is available... 

Modifying during Insanity Max: 30 is  still HARD WORK!
It isn't taking the "easy" way out! Modifying is the best way to get results if you're the person that may want to focus on form, move a bit slower, be smarter about previous injuries, or maybe you want a hard workout as you're beginning your fitness journey! Modifying is NOT a disease. It is a way to make you stronger, faster, and will get you great results simply because you can work on your range of motion and speed while keeping the focus on your muscles! 

**** INSANITY Max 30 has a dvd menu option for you to see the MODIFIER the entire time while still seeing Shaun T the entire time!

You can only get it through a Team Beachbody coach on December 2nd!  So make sure you let me know if you would like to have me as your coach! You can also complete the application below to get more information on participating in the Insanity Max30 test group. We will be starting on December 8th for those of us who are ready to MAX OUT in 2014, and there will also be another group starting January 5th, for those who have it as a New Year's resolution instead. But hey, Why wait? seriously... I will teach you how to make this part of your lifestyle starting now. Imagine how much you will accomplish in December. 

WHAT IS THE TEST GROUP ABOUT? 

I'll be running an exclusive Max30 test group and you are more than welcome to participate, just apply by completing the application below to be considered for a spot in the group.
