Skinny Phoenix’s Accountability Group

My accountability group is for those looking to be accountable to themselves as well as to others to help them achieve their health and fitness goals. I am going to be fairly strict on this and you will be held accountable for daily check-ins. If you fail to check in for 3 days straight you will be booted out. I only want those who are serious and who will remain committed. If you want to lose weight and change your eating habits to reflect those of health, but have never been able to stick to something because you couldn’t “do it alone” then this group would be for you.


Step 1 – Email me at skinnyphoenix31@gmail.com. Let me know what you weigh now, what your goal weight is, how you are working out/plan to work out [i.e. which program, TurboFire, P90X, Running, Swimming, etc.], and how many times a week you are willing to commit to working out. “Like” my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/skinnyphoenix).

Step 2 – Sign up for a free Beachbody account via my website http://www.beachbody.com/skinnyphoenix. This is where you will be logging your workouts, in the online gym (this way you will also be eligible to win the daily prizes!). Set up your profile and add any before pictures and add a small blurb about yourself. Add your weight and measurements to your profile as well as your goals then email me your measurements. Add me as a buddy. I should show up under your profile pic on the left hand side of the screen as your “Coach” you will just need to add me as a buddy. Order your fitness program (if you need one) and Shakeology (if you want to accelerate your weight loss).

Step 3 - Full accountability (FA). On Facebook you will be added to Skinny Phoenix’s Accountability Group. You will log in daily to the FB Accountability Group, log your food on a daily basis, and write a short few comments on what you did for the day, worked out, had struggles staying away from the donuts, small successes and minor failures, etc. We will do weekly weigh in’s on Monday’s. I want this to be a place where you are held accountable for what you are doing. I realize it make take a little extra time out of your day, but remember you are doing this for yourself. You deserve it and you deserve to live in the body that makes you proud and to have the energy to keep up (or run circles) with those around you.

Together we can do this and achieve our goals!!

It's On The Way!!

I'm soo super excited!! TurboFire is on it's way!! And so is Shakeology! I'm super excited to start TurboFire, mainly because I need some new material to work out to with some kickin new music. Chalene never fails to deliver on the awesome music in her workouts and that is why I am such a fan of her workouts! She truly is an inspiration! So I decided that I will combine TurboFire with Chalean Extreme and I should get the best results. I'm pretty sure I will be sore consistently for 90 days, but I love that hurt. I use to hate being sore from working out when I was in high school, but that was because I never really worked out on a consistent basis to fully understand how good that soreness feels. The soreness from working out is nothing compared to the aches and pains I get from NOT working out. My back and hips get so much worse when I am not working out and that is a pain I cannot afford to have.

So I have been doing pretty good so far, slowly getting back into things. I started Chalean Extreme again yesterday with Burn Circuit 1 and have been filling in the cardio with TurboJam until I get my TurboFire. If anyone wants to workout with me, let me know. If you can't work out with me in person then just go sign up (for free!!) from my website, http://beachbodycoach.com/sten. Just click on "Join" and set up your account. Then we can work out together in the online gym. This is also great if you have friends or relatives that live across the country that you may want to connect with and challenge each other towards getting fit and healthy. There are awesome recipes and a place where you can keep track of meals. There is a discussion forum where you can connect with celebrity trainers, like Chalene Johnson (TurboJam, TurboFire), Tony Horton (P90X) and other popular workout programs and instructors.  Also, just for logging your workouts you are entered into the daily drawing for cash and prizes and a weekly prize of $1,000.

So get out there and just start somewhere. Whether it be your diet, or working out. Everyone has to start somewhere. And if you need any help, I'm here!!

To your health!
Kirsten

Back At It

Alright, so I'm back at it. Haven't been doing the greatest at working out, it's only been once a week. And my eating has really got a lot worse. So time to give myself that proverbial kick in the butt again. I've gained 10 pounds back, ugh!! So time to get back on track. Yesterday, I started keeping track of my eating again and worked out for 50 minutes (cardio). I canceled my weight watchers subscription, since it's one of things that I needed to cut from my budget. But I still know how to count points and I still have a WW points calculator. So I'm keeping track of it all in my handy dandy Excel spreadsheet. Ok, I know I just said "handy, dandy"!! I've been watching too much Blue's Clue's with my 2 year old! HA!

So besides keeping track of my food again, I am keeping a better schedule of my workouts and I am working out online again, like I use to. If you get any Beachbody products (i.e. P90X, Turbo Jam, TurboFire) you get a membership to the site and can log your workouts online in the "online gym". You can become friends with other members and schedule workouts online with them. The gym is called WOWY (work out with you) Super Gym. Not only do you get to workout with other members, but if you workout online you are entered for a chance to win daily prizes like $300 or other items like iPods, digital cameras and DVD players. Once a week there is a drawing for $1,000, just for working out! The prizes were what helped motivate me before, so I am going to do them again.

Wish me luck!
