Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Hi, and welcome to my coaching thread. I am so honored that you are reading this page. My motto. “I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens Me!”

My name is Kristi (kristijean), I am a 33-year-old mother of three beautiful girls, 15, 8, and 3, and I run a Medical Transcription business from home. I am an overcomer of a life of addiction into a life of Healthy Eating and Physical Fitness through the strength of my HIGHER POWER. I have a beautiful marriage that is a testimony in itself, that of which was shambles and is now RESTORED. I can only begin to tell you the testimonies I can share of how I got where I am today.

“Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know” Jeremiah 33:3. God is moving in my life as he promised and I believe that through my experience and knowledge I can help you meet your goals. Here is my fitness story:

I’ve been involved in the Fitness world for many years. You name it, I tried it. I tried every video, I tried every diet pill, I pretty much tried every diet plan. I have been that person struggling to achieve and then maintain a personal fitness or weight loss goal. I also have learned that in order to get that you have to surround yourself by people who want the same goals, and If that’s you?, You’re in the right spot.

My interest in physical fitness and healthy eating began when I was a freshman in high school. I spent many dedicated hours taking care of my body and watching what I put into it. From running to videos, keeping my body in shape was my greatest desire. I had my first daughter at a very young age, which by all means puts a damper on our bodies and to top it off she came by C-section. Following my recovery, I jumped right back into my workouts. I joined a gym, I had a personal trainer, and of course I continued with my home workout videos. Eventually, I was mommy again, to have another C-section. WOW, what a tough experience. Needless to say, upon recovery I keep moving forward. This time, I tried Jazzercise, step classes, more videos, and other gym classes. Everything began to look and feel the same, but I knew in my heart it wasn’t. After my third C-section, I became depressed, frustrated, and discouraged.

Was I ever going to have the stomach I could be proud of? Would I ever be able to wave and not jiggle? Is it possible that a mom of 3 girls could even take time for herself now? Did I lose my passion? I did, I just settled for what I had not what was possible!

UNTIL…….oh yes there is an until I found Beachbody. It changed my life, it REVIVED MY PASSION. It gave me answers to all my dreaded questions. I learned that it was all Possible. YOU CAN TO! I learned that it was not a diet any more, but a change in lifestyle. I found great support, gained wisdom and GOT FIT! and there is more….I found great friends. People who had the same goals and desires.

So all that being said……..join me for encouragement, support, and MOUNDS OF MOTIVATION. You can do it! WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER!

Ask yourself, Are you settling? Why settle when you can SUCCEED!

BEFORE and AFTER..... Here are my accomplishments so far....but I am a work in progress. HE IS NOT DONE WITH ME YET!

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.Romans 14:17

Terri....... Welcome..I am so excited to share this journey with you. What awesome progress you have had and CONGRATULATIONS! You are definetely on the right track. I have had such awesome results with this program and such great fellowship that it makes it ten times better. Realizing that it is he who empowers us WE CAN DO ALL THINGS! I have been blessed beyond words and know you will be to.

We know that life brings us trials and tribulations whatever the hurt, hangup or habit BUT he says “Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness." HE will bring us through the rest.

Any questions or comments please feel free to ask. I personally own and have used most all the Beachbody programs and any supplements?

Prayers and Blessings,
Kristi

Hi Terri....oh yes I love that phrase about if HE brings you to it HE will bring you through it. I refer to it often as you know life brings alot of things we just did not expect to pop up.

TJ happens to be my all time favorite workouts but I have to say YBB is alot of fun. If you like to dance. They break it up into sections teach you that section and then move on putting each part together as they go. If you like to dance then this one is fun. I have not tried all of them but Cardio Cabaret Burlesque Style is so much fun. Slim in Six and Slim Series are some serious butt kickers. I have to stay that every time I do Debbie's workouts I feel it in my bottom and legs so if you are looking for these kind of workouts then she is the one. I have some different rotations for the Turbo Jam though if you would like to start there. Let me know!

Did a 3 mile run this morning. Trying to mix it up a bit plus the fresh air is nice. I took our labrador which makes it so much more fun. He kind of drags me but its a good workout. On the weekends I try to do some outdoor stuff just for a change of pace but still get my workout in. Wanted to ask if you already have a coach?

Well I too am off to get ready for church. I will be here probably later this evening as well as I am attending a 12 week course of discipleship right now. Might be here in between. As a disciple of Jesus Christ we are also called to be DISCIPLINED. I love that. It reminds me to be disciplined in all areas of my life and beachbody has a saying "The Joy of Discipline OR The Pain of Regret!"

Anyways have a blessed day and look forward to hearing from you later!

God Bless!
Kristi

When you get your other videos I also have some fun rotations for those. Let me know. In the meantime treadmilling and walking are great choices. I personally love to do my treadmill and listen to some praise and worship. My neighbors may think I am crazy but I love it. WOw that sounds like an awesome park you guys have there. With stationary machines and all. You are blessed! Where about do you live?

I am so glad to hear that you do have a coach. It is a blessing. I have been here at Million Dollar Body for awhile and myself have a very inspiring coach who is a strong woman of God and is a blessing to me, hence the reason I became a coach. Now I just have to wait for God to bless me with those I can coach. I think coaching is an opportunity to serve and help others with gifts he has given us. It says to serve him with our time, talent and treasures. I belive he this is a talent he has given me and definetely time spent learning. I am so glad to be able to share it with other believers.

Church for me today was outstanding. We had a guest seaker, Keith Hershey. Gave a great word and is a missionary as part of our church. He reaches the nations so it is alot of fun to hear him preach. I attend Mountainview Faith Community Church or www.mvfcc.com. Thought maybe you might like to see where I go. i love it there and our WORSHIP band is out of this world. Worship happens to be a favorite part of mine. I love it.

Well fresh mercies every morning so be blessed today and REJOICE.....for our GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

Terri.....wow you did three videos. You go girl. That is alot of motivation. Make sure to include some sculpting. I like to do the Turbo Sculpt on the days I use a shorter video like the Fat Blaster.

I live in Rancho Cucamonga, California and cant say that I have been anywhere other than Las Vegas where my sister lives or Hawaii for a small second honeymoon. However, I am here for a purpose and I just follow HIS lead. The church I go to is a Christian church that was very small but growing as God is blessing them. My husband and I were married there and it has brought us through some very challenging times so our heart is planted there.

Spiritual and Physical Fitness.
A Word from Joel Osteen.

Did you know that getting yourself in better physical condition can actually make it easier for you to mover closer to God? It's true! When you're at your peak physical condition, you are more prepared to experience God in a very personal way. God promises that He will draw close to you when you draw closer to Him - which leads us to ask the question: How can we draw closer to God? You can accomplish this by doing your part to communicate to God and giving your heart to Him. This can be as simple as reading your Bible, praying or even choosing to live a healthy lifestyle. The closer you become to God, the more you will experience His love and blessings.

A Prayer for Today

God, thank You for drawing close to me even when I don't draw close to you. Give me the strength to serve You and walk closer to You this day. In Jesus' Name. Amen

Have a Blessed Day!
Kristi

Terri...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DD! What a treat she got. That is one of the best bday presents ever a little pampering.

How funny when you visited Cali you were right by me. I am about 5 minutes from there and hear the race cars when its race time. My husband loves nacecar so it does not bother him.

Awesome job on the treadmill. I love my treadmill I get on there with my ipod and praise and worship music and stay for about an hour. it is a good release for me.

Be blessed today and everyday.
Kristi

Got that w/o in!!!! Did 3.55 miles on the tread!!! But 3 of that was jogging!!!!! Woohooo!!!

God bless!

Terri

TERRI..... You go girl. I have not gone past the 3 mile mark yet but you set an awesome challenge. Way to push yourself.

“Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope (Romans 5:3-4).”

I had an awesome day in the Lord yesterday all day. Went to a womens conference that I was so blessed to be invited too. Wow....great words from very inspirational speakers.

G9..... Thanks for stopping in. This thread was designed to the ONE who I owe it all to. I wanted to glory where glory is due. I am sure you read the story at the top but I am an OVERCOMER and healed and set free of many addictions. I had a very encouraging and uplifting coach and GREAT GREAT friends but without THE MAN (lol I got an email this morning but God and it said I Love This Man, hence my little saying) I cannot do anything.

So thank you for stopping by and please keep checking in, I love love love being in fellowship with others who are all striving for the same goal To STay Healthy and Be Fit.

Kristi

Robin....

Welcome....Thank you for coming by to fellowship with us.

What a great opportunity to be working out outdoors and experiencing the great things he gives us daily. We have an awesome God.

It brings joy to my heart to read the testimonies he has brought to pass and the lives he is still working in.

I believe he calls us to be fit spirtually, mentally and physically after all this is his temple, we ought to take care of right. Hence, my title PRAISING HIM IN FITNESS. He gives us the ability to do the things we do I'm going to give him PRAISE right on through it.

He has brought me through some great things in life and I cant help but share with the world HOW GREAT HE IS!

Be Blessed Today and Everyday!
