Meal Planning ReDo & Workout Update

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday...is it really only Wednesday?  

on the Beach in Cozumel, Mexico

Sunday when I put my weekly plan 

together seems forever ago yet it is only 3 days ago. Why does this week feel like it is dragging? I have a funny feeling it has something to do with me being in the Caribbean last week for my first ever vacation with only my husband since having children. AHHHH. Yes, I think my mind is still on vacation time!! 

Forgive me if this week I seem a bit on the slower side responding to messages or posting. I am working on them all just at a slower speed than I am use to!! 

Well as I said I did my meal planning on my Sunday like I always do BUT I did make a big boo boo on it. See I planned Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as my 21 Day Fix 3 day Quick Fix (don't know what the quick fix is?ASK!) and Friday includes a lot of meat. See I am Catholic and right now we are celebrating Lent and during lent we abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Again I don't know where my head was when I was putting together my meal plan this week but obviously it forgot about no Meat on Fridays. 

I have however NOT eaten Chocolate which I gave up for Lent so at least I remembered that one!! 

Since I made a boo boo on my meal plan I had to revise it for Friday. Now I plan on doing the 21 day Fix 3 day Quick Fix Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I debated doing this Quick Fix or the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse but since I have not done the Quick Fix yet I figured why not try it!! You know you never know the outcome until you try - RIGHT?!?!

Here is my revised Meal Plan for the week:

Still using the 21 day Fix color Coded Portion control system!!

I am back to P90x3 and I started Block 3 this week!! Excited to finish this program up in just a few more weeks!! I have loved every minute of it! Why? I find it challenging and although I don't always feel like I am working out (like holding yoga poses for 45 sec) I know that I am! Each week I have done this program I have seen progress which is always a good thing. My progress right now is different than others. My goal is to continue to maintain my goal weight which I have AND continue to define my muscles which this program has helped me do as well. 

I did take a break mid P90x3 to do the new program called the 21 Day Fix which is only 21 days in length. I did this because I wanted to be knowledgeable about the program so I could help my customers and challenge group participants. I also LOVED the 21 Day Fix. The moves seem simple enough when you start and then OH MY do you feel them!! I also love the color coded portion control container system used as well. (as you can see from my meal plan above I have continued using the color coded system). If you would like to read more about the 21 day fix please CLICK HERE for all the details!!

and also while I was away on vacation I got to meet the creator of the 21 day Fix - Autumn Calabrese!! I was so excited!! I didn't even care I was soaked with sweat from after completing her live workout aboard the S.S. Beachbody Cruise that I won!!

ahh, me and Autumn Calabrese - creator of the 21 day Fix.
This pic was a prize I earned for my success as a coach!!

Well no time like the present to get myself back into my groove and finish this week off strong!  Yes I have the post vacation blues but at least I have a wonderful job that allows me to stay at home with my kids and provide for my family! I have a great family, great friends, and great customers. It is because of these special people in my life I do my best to make the most of every single day!! No more living life according to someone else's schedule - my life, my decisions!! I choose to live WELL - healthy, fit, and financially secure!!

Be on the lookout for my upcoming Health and Fitness Challenge groups as I plan on making the most of April!! Many people have come to me and are dreading the summer months in bathing suits!! You don't have to be one of those people, instead join me and learn how you to can improve not only your body but your mind and life as well!! 

Now is the time to learn how to live a 

FIT, HAPPY, and HEALTHY Life 

and we will do it 

TOGETHER!!!!

Hello 2014

January 2nd is here and sure enough January 2nd is almost over!! Here in the Northeast we are having a snow storm so both my husband and son are hoping for one more day at home.  

my loves playing MarioKart on Wii

I on the other hand I cannot wait to get back to my normal schedule.  I have been a bit lax with my normal routine and boy do I feel it.  Although I do have to admit I LOVE all of us being home together.  The kids are always with  me so it is nice for them to have their daddy home with them as well.  

What I also look forward to is preparing for the New Year.  At the end of the year it is always a time for me to reflect of course on the previous year and a time for me then to think of the New Year and what is in store.  During these days home with my family all home I was reminded why I do what I do.  I am very blessed to be given the opportunities and I feel proud that I took advantage of the opportunities!! 

I stay at home with our kids because before we had children we said it was important to both of us to have a parent stay home.  Not only do we want a parent home but we want that parent present - so the kids are not always in front of the TV, electronic device, etc.  Instead we are interacting with one another.  This is sometimes challenging (just being honest) as I also have other duties to tend to during the day like cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc.  When I was given the opportunity back in 2012 to become a Beachbody coach I thought NO WAY, I had no time to do it PLUS I didn't want to take any time away from my kids.  Little did I know I could have it all if I planned properly and so that is why my schedule I have in place is so very important to me.  I want to make sure I am not working too much and I continue to be present in the lives of our children.  I enjoy being the person to teach them new things, practice ABCS, and today I was reminded I want to be the person not a non-parent to be there for our kids when they get hurt (my daughter fell pretty bad today and I was the one to be there for her, fix her up, and comfort her!)

Planning as mentioned has been key for me to juggle my busy schedule but honestly I would not have it any other way.  Yes, I am sure I could be more on top of many things but what matters most if that my family is taken care of.  This also brings me to how being a Beachbody coach has also helped us continue to have one parent stay at home.  What I also didn't realize when I signed up to be a discount coach (just wanted to get a discount on my #1 meal Shakeology!) that as a coach there was great potential for making a decent income.  Depending on how much time you want to give you could also make well into the 6 figures and then some.  Hello Beachbody's Millionaires club!! Well right now that is not a goal of mine but what is a goal is to be able to help provide for our family so that we can continue living like we do and have one parent stay at home.  

How I plan on continuing to make this all happen begins with my priorities and then setting goals. As I was reflecting on 2013 and preparing for 2014, I looked at what goals I didn't accomplish in 2013 and why and then I decided what goals I would like to accomplish in 2014.  

Although I was totally bummed about the goals I didn't reach in 2013 I feel I did everything I could to get done what I did.  I am not upset anymore with what didn't happen instead I am going to learn from my mistakes and move on.  and so here is my vision board for 2014 - for the first half of 2014 only though!!

I learned this past year that making a full year board was very discouraging for me when I didn't reach many of my goals. So this year I am trying something new and breaking it down into the first half of the year and later on you will see the second half of the year. I will be revisiting my goals on a monthly basis and creating action plans so that I do not disappoint myself again. Some of my goals are dependent upon other people so yes that will be challenging but I feel very strongly we can all make it happen!! 

As the saying goes, "We are Better Together!"

At the end of the day though I know one thing is for certain I love being a stay at home mom and I love being a Beachbody Coach. I feel like I have the best of both worlds. I get to stay home with my kids and I get to help others achieve their goals.  Now that is something to be thankful for!! 

2014 will be my year

Cheers to 2014!!

Now is the time to learn how to

Live a Fit, Happy, and Healthy life

and WE will do it 

TOGETHER!!!!

How to Earn Extra Money this Holiday Season

Stop, 

before you accept an extra holiday job 

read this!!!!!

The holiday season is fast approaching.  Goodness Halloween isn't even here yet and stores are already putting together their Christmas displays and sections of their stores. Hallmark started months ago with their ornament debut!! So this leads me to the actual holidays.  We will be buying gifts, attending parties, and probably spending more than we should.  Not ME, not this year!! This year I plan to have all my holiday spending this year paid in advance and I plan to do that with BEACHBODY!! 

HOW will Beachbody help me?

So, when I started coaching I really really wanted to help other people. I just wanted other people to feel the exact same way that I did. I wanted people to get results, experience a challenge group, get support and be truly healthy deep down!!! My entire driving force for being a coach was to teach others how to make this a lifestyle change and not a crash diet. It worked! The more I pour my heart and soul into my challengers the more results they get and the happier I am (ha, which my family loves!!)

Now the holidays are approaching and I declared to my husband that I want to make enough  money to pay for our Christmas in advance. My goal is to continue helping other people, keeping people accountable over Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'll do what it takes to reach my goal of helping others and paying for our holiday extras.  

In addition to helping myself and family pay for our Christmas with Beachbody coaching and I also want to return the favor to all of those that have helped me get here. I want to return the favor to my family, friends, and people I have met along the way over this past year.  I feel very confident that I have a system in place that can help you earn at least $900 towards your holiday this year! I want to help a select group of interested people earn extra income through Beachbody Coaching.


I will teach you everything I know and take you through our New Coach Apprenticeship program.  These two keys pieces will in turn help you learn how to make this income by Christmas. You will not be alone, I will be there with you every step of the way.  I will give you the tools to be successful but at the end of the day it is up to you to implement those tools.  

You don't have to be a health and fitness coach, you just have to be passionate about helping others succeed. You also have to be a product of the product which means you do a Beachbody workout on a regular basis and you at least replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology. How can you teach other people if you don't lead by example....RIGHT?! 

Are you interested??? Are you a motivated, driven, and compassionate person? If so then this would be a good fit for you! The good thing is that Beachbody coaching is the gift that keeps on giving! Long after the holidays are over you can continue to grow your business to whatever extent you see fit! I will always as your mentor and sponsor be here to support you!!!

Our team will be hosting a free webinar TONIGHT, Tuesday October 9th to explain exactly what being a Beachbody coach is and what we do! 

Information will also be shared to help you create your very own business as a Beachbody coach. If you are interested in learning more please contact me ASAP - alysonhorcher@gmail.com

You cannot change your destination overnight, 

but you can change your direction overnight!!

Why Become a Beachbody Coach?

Calling anyone who is interested in firing their current boss!! I am serious, how great would it be to fire your boss and work for yourself? If you would have told me that when I was working in the corporate world I would have been all over it asking questions about HOW to do it. 

Well I am here to invite you to what has transformed 

my life and body.

Beachbody Coaching!! 

Now more than ever is a great time to really think about what you want out of life? Do you love your job? Do you love leaving your children every day? Do you love missing out on important events because you can't get off work? Do you love not being able to take vacation days whenever you want? All of these questions were questions I use to answer NO to when I was in the corporate world. Now I am a Stay at Home Mom. Trust me, I never ever thought I was the type of person to be a Stay at home MOM!! I always said that I couldn't be a SAHM and now I am eating my words. Who knew this is where I would be - LOVING being at home raising my kids, LOVING my at home business of a Beachbody Coach, and LOVING making extra cash that we didn't plan on. Woo HOO is all I have to say!! 

I am confident in saying because of the decision I made a a year ago to join this amazing organization that is why I am now loving life and loving being at home with my kids. It all started with me just wanting to get a discount on my shakeology but it developed into so much more. As a stay at home mom and for most families that have chosen to have one parent stay home rather than two in the workforce, you know at times it is a struggle living off of one income. So when I realized their was a potential to make a decent salary from coaching I wanted to learn more. Yes I was stepping outside my comfort zone but I am thankful everyday that I did. Who doesn't want to help contribute to their family financially? An extra $100, extra $1000, and more could be yours if you are ready to take that Leap of faith and join me and our amazing team. 


I took a risk and let me tell you the risk has totally paid off. In just one year we have been able to save money, purchase new big ticket items for our home, pay for our son's tuition, and so much more. Yes, I know we would have eventually been able to do all these things but thankfully we were able to cut a few years off due to my career as a beachbody coach.


So here is your chance, your opportunity to take advantage of a life we all dream about - FIRING YOUR BOSS, STAYING HOME, BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OF YOUR OWN!!

Want to learn more? Watch this short video and if it speaks to you, APPLY to be a part of my 60 Day Coach Apprenticeship! I am inspired and ready to help change some more lives... and maybe, just maybe YOURS is one of them!

Watch the video: 


My next Coach Apprenticeship starts Monday, Oct. 7th!


The first 2 months you will go through a Dream Team Exclusive training program in addition you will learn from me and what I do with my business & understand how to do it yourself.


THEN pay can increase to around $500-$1,000 weekly (over $50,000 annually) for the next 6-8 months after that. You can expect that number will double or even triple if you follow the to do list I give you and are consistent with your work.


After just 2 years or less you could be earning a 6 figure income and the pay just keeps increasing and there are also incentives for hitting certain goals giving to you like vacations for 2 etc.


Are you interested???

GOTTA GET IT Special Offer - Today ONLY!!!!

I am really beyond excited to share with you a very SPECIAL and EXCLUSIVE  offer that is good until tonight at 9PM ONLY!! Better run because I am only offering 3 of these special offers!!

I know it is hard for most to commit to spending money on yourself.   Money is always tight but this is also the time of year when most people feel the stress what their bodies will look like come warmer weather (which is right around the corner).  The worst thing that you can do for yourself is throw your hands up in the air and give in to the temptations all around you.  So to make the decision a little easier on your wallet and your mind I chose to run this special offer.


So what is a challenge pack?






Anyone who purchases a challenge pack as my customer and upgrades to a coach membership will earn a $25 Beachbody gift card that you can then use on your Shakeology or other beachbody products and programs. 

 For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a challenge pack is, let me explain!  A challenge pack is a a fitness program of your choice such as P90X, Insanity, Turbofire, ect... and Shakeology (the healthiest meal of the day) combined with a free 30 day trial of the club membership, plus free shipping, me as your beachbody coach and a discounted price!  It is the total package. When you purchase a challenge pack Beachbody also waives the $40 coach sign up, to allow you to become a coach for free!!!


 So if you are in need of a complete overhaul with your health and fitness then this is the way to go.  As with other weight loss or nutrition programs out there you usually get half of the equation.  So you get the fitness with a gym membership, but lack the nutrition or with weight watchers you get some form of nutrition but no fitness component.

With Beachbody you get the expertise of the trainers who have developed the fitness programs, the nutrition guide and the online tools to help you plan out your meals and snacks plus the accountability of the small group and me as your coach!!  I will check in with you daily to help you create and reach your own personal goals.

Why Should I upgrade to a coach?  What is the benefit?  Even if you are someone who has zero interest in actively coaching other people as I do this is still a great deal.  As a Beachbody Coach you get 25% off of everything you purchase.  That means, Shakeology, each and every fitness program plus all of the nutritionals and supplements like Energy and Endurance, Results and Recovery, ect...  So if you are someone who drinks Shakeology every day or even twice a day it makes sense to purchase it at a discount rather than full price.  If you drink shakeology for 6 months you end up saving roughly around $176.00.  That is crazy!!!  That is even with the $15.95 per month business service fee!  Your shakeology is still cheaper!!!

So, what are you waiting for?!  Do you want to change your life?  Do you want to get in the best shape of your life and have a community of support to help you get there?  Then don't delay, sign up with a challenge pack by going to my site  clicking the coach tab and be a coach.  Then, it will have you fill out all the identifying information, choose your challenge pack and voila you can immediately be on your way to a new you!!!

Now, let's say that you are someone who wants to make being a Beachbody coach a supplemental or full time income.  Then, signing up with the challenge pack is the way to be proof that the products work yourself and gives you a great way to share with others the real benefits of the products and programs!!  As your coach, you will never be alone!  I will be there to mentor and support you every step of the way!!!  Within 24 hours I will set up an initial call to get you started and add you to my 30 Day New Coach Mentorship training beginning May 6th.  In this group I will give you my personal one on one mentoring until you feel confident on your own!!!

Don't wait, there are a limited quantity of gift cards!  First come first to receive the deal!!!!

If you are unsure of what challenge pack would best suit your needs.  Please CONTACT ME and together I can help you find a program that is going to help you get the results that you are hoping to achieve!!!!

Now is the time to learn how to

Live a Fit, Happy, and Healthy life

and WE will do it 

TOGETHER!!!!
