March's Lions and Lambs; The Bad News and the Good News

It's only four days into the month of March and I'm sure we're all guessing as to whether it's a "lion" or a "lamb" kind of start (as the saying goes). If we're going by the weather alone, I suppose we're still seeing that lion. Around here, Winter is still alive and well (unfortunately). Warmer temperatures are starting to appear, but I guess anything above freezing feels like a heat wave!

The weather isn't the only downer of the month. In case you haven't heard, Les Mills Pump and Combat are being discontinued. :( Therefore, if either of those programs have ever sparked your interest, I suggest purchasing the program before the remaining quantities are sold out! As I've mentioned in the past, I greatly enjoyed Les Mills Combat and got GREAT results with it! I highly recommend it! It's fun, intense, and you'll feel pretty awesome wearing the gloves and throwing those punches!

Well, that's the extent of the bad news. Yep, that's all! I actually got a TON of good news for you! It involves Team Beachbody on demand, Turbo Fire, and Focus T25. Those two programs mentioned are the programs that are on sale this month. If you're itching for warmer weather and vacation, start getting in shape for it NOW. I have done both of these programs and they are personal favorites of mine! The workouts, the music, the trainers, the results....ALL OF IT is heart-pumping, weight-losing, AWESOMENESSl! 21 Day Fix Extreme (as well as the kickstart program), and the 3 Day Refresh are still on special as well. Click on any of these links or browse www.infusion413.com! You won't regret getting one of these programs (especially if you buy a challenge pack which is the program PLUS Shakeology). As always, if you are dissatisfied, return it for a refund (less s&h). No hassle! You've got nothing to lose except those winter pounds!

Now, for the other part of that good news....TEAM BEACHBODY ON DEMAND! If you are a complete workout junkie, THIS is the deal for you! Get the Club Challenge pack this month (which includes Shakeology) and choose from any workout from any program whenever you want and stream it from your TV, computer, or whatever! All your favorite workouts INSTANTLY! That's the perk of being in the Team Beachbody Club (as well as a 10% discount on all products you buy when you're a member). If you don't want to get the club challenge pack, you can always become a Team Beachbody Club member whenever you'd like and try it out. You'll never have to buy the programs or fiddle with DVDs again! Just pick a workout and go! Don't you just love technology?!

Grace and peace to you my friends! I hope that March will turn out to be a great month for you! With all these great deals, how could it not be?! Additionally, a SUPER Shakeology Sampler Pack is going to be released on the 16th. The current sampler pack available lets you sample all the Shakeology flavors minus the vegan ones. The SUPER sampler will INCLUDE the vegan flavors. That's good news if you've ever been curious or interested in trying the vegan flavors (or have contemplated a vegan diet). As always, if you have any questions or comments, leave them below or contact me! Be infused! God bless you!

I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!

At this point in the year, I don't think it's uncommon to just stop and wonder where all the time went. Every year when it's about time for the holidays again, I think "is it that time again already? We just got done with that!" It just seems to get busier every year! Weren't the holidays so much simpler when we were kids and we just got to enjoy all the good stuff lol?!

The first week of November has already come and gone so quickly. Just a few more days and the month will already be half over. It's yet another one of those times where I'm like, "oh yeah, I forgot to mention this month's promos." The busier things get in my life, the less the Team Beachbody world seems to factor in for me (in more ways than one). I wish it weren't that way. I've been a coach for over four years and I'm not where I thought I'd be (again, in more ways than one). Though, as I always say, I'm not a quitter! I know I'm not the only one out there that is busy at this time of year, or with the regular stuff in life (as well as the unexpected surprises). I've never quite felt that I've had a long enough period of time to really get momentum and keep it going long-term. There have been far too many drastic life changes in my life in the time since I've started. I'm hopeful that things are finally stabilizing, but you never know lol. 

That's why I just want to encourage everyone out there to just keep enduring! Seriously! No matter what it is that you're doing, need to do, or are still AIMING to do, just be patient with yourself! No one does a perfect job at anything; and there's always the proper time and season. Even the best trainers and coaches have their slumps. No kidding! Sometimes, I see Shaun T on Facebook making the occasional post about how he's had moments of discouragement or days where he didn't "feel like it" either. We all get weary. The important thing is that we remember how to renew our strength and we do that by leaning on the Everlasting Arms! ;) Jesus is always there to INFUSE us with His strength! 

When I blog like this, I remember how much I miss blogging on a regular basis; and not particularly regarding the fitness stuff. Not that this blog doesn't matter to me (it does) but what has always mattered most was the spiritual aspect of things. I've always included in with the fitness stuff too, but even when all the fitness and Beachbody stuff goes on my back burner, my faith does not. So, it's more than likely that this blog (and my coaching in general) is just going to continue to be one of those facets of me that is going to be more in the background rather than the forefront (at least for a while). Right now, I'm still focused on continuing to adjust to all the new changes of the past few months (as well as getting through the holidays). So, my posts will be short and sweet for a while; unless they're on my other blog. My heart is with my family as well as the mission of my new job (which is focused on helping people in need and especially right now at Christmas). I hope you'll read my posts and support my efforts as I keep you updated on that! ;)

"I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!"
- from the movie "A Christmas Story"

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Watch the video below if you want to learn more about this month's Beachbody specials. It's Piyo (one of the programs I've ben "aiming to" do myself and haven't gotten around to). I hear nothing but good things about it; and I LOVE Chalene! I'll make my booty do it if yours does lol. If someone buys a Piyo Challenge Pack or a Piyo Kickstart and Shakeology Challenge Pack, I will too and I'll start gettin' r done again lol. And if Piyo isn't your thing, there's the Les Mills Combat, Pump, and Ultimate Reset Challenge Packs which are on special too. Actually, if I sell ANY challenge pack of any program this month, I'll do it lol! This is your chance to kind of coach your coach. ;) If not, well, I'll probably just keep putting it off until after the holidays. Can you MAKE ME workout?! ;) I'm curious and wondering if anyone will, but I'm betting that I'll probably be off the hook this time because no one will want to take the challenge with me and make me work my butt off (literally lol) before Christmas! Is someone going to prove me wrong? I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!!! ;) Be infused! God bless you! 

Our October Blessings!

There are only ten more days until Halloween. The kids' costumes have been picked out and ordered and we are looking forward to taking them out to get candy. I'm just hoping it won't be cold and/or rainy! It's been horrible weather for it the past few years! Irregardless, we'll still be going and making new family memories! This will be our first Halloween together!

Speaking of new things, there are a few other new things that are happening right now. It's been keeping me so preoccupied that I completely forgot to post this month's promotions (sorry about that!). Before I tell you what's going on with the fitness stuff, I'll just fill you in on the two big blessings that have been taking up my time.

The first one is the sale of my house (yes, finally!). It's very bittersweet. While we are very glad to finally get it sold (which will free up our budget, bless us with a profit, and take a load off of our minds) it's also sort of sad for me. As you might remember, I bought the house last year and my parents and I went to work on updating/improving the inside. The house not only reflects my personal taste, but it meant so much to me to be able to live close to my Dad and to have been able to get the house as a single mom. It was a milestone for me. I barely had any time to really savor it before God surprised me with Chris and things began moving me in a different direction (both literally and figuratively). The merging of our two lives meant trusting that God would provide for us as well as bring a new job opportunity my way. It's been a little unsettling to have to wait for the house to sell as well as a new job.

That's my other great news! :) It took three tries, but I finally ended up with the right job! It was almost like "The Three Bears" story in which the previous two jobs/interviews had a lot to offer, but only the third one was "just right" for me. God always knows best and I'm glad that He didn't allow me to have the jobs that I felt were right. He knew what the perfect fit would be for me (and when) and no matter how disappointed I felt in missing out on the first two, I knew that that only meant that God had something better. :) I am so thankful to God, and to The Salvation Army, for giving me the opportunity to work and serve the organization! It is an honor and a joy to be part of a team of people with big hearts and big faith! I am enjoying the learning process and looking forward to using my gifts and skills to help people!

Of course, one of my gifts is being able to connect with people, so I'm hoping that I will be able to enlist the help (as well as donations) from my big hearted family, friends, and readers of my blogs! ;) The organization can't exist without YOUR time and gifts. It is because of YOU that The Salvation Army can continue to have the means to feed, clothe, and give assistance to those that might otherwise not have basic needs. Please, prayerfully consider how you can get involved; whether it's through a donation of any amount or volunteering your time (we need individuals, families, groups, church congregations, etc. to start signing up for bell ringing! Click here to sign up to be a bell ringer!). These last few months of the year are busy for everyone. The holidays can be a hard time of year for various reasons. What better way to show your Christmas spirit and spread, peace, joy, and hope to others than by spending at least one hour of your time ringing that bell and encouraging people to donate their spare change for those in need?! C'mon, you can do it! One hour will bless you AND others. Get your spouse, kids, or church involved too! :) You'll be glad you did!

Ok, so I've been so busy talking about the Lord's business here that I nearly forgot about my own business. It pales in comparison, but since I need to finally clue you in, I'll throw it in here at the end lol. You've got a little over a week left to take advantage of the following deals: the new P90X challenge pack and the Ultimate Reset challenge pack. Additionally, they are offering up to 50% savings (yeah, I know, right?!) on Les Mills Pump and Les Mills Combat challenge packs, programs, and accessories! Now THAT'S a deal! I LOVED doing Les Mills Combat! I got three words for that: Fun. Fit. Fierce! It was enjoyable, got me results, and I felt super tough (how can you not when you're doing boxing and martial arts mooves?!). Get it while the getting is good! You won't regret it!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Thank you so much for reading! Also, a big thank you to all who have supported and prayed for my family and I. We couldn't have made it without you! We appreciate everyone's encouragement and prayers! Be infused! God bless you!

Fighting Weight-Loss? How to "Stay with the Fight"!

My wedding date is next month already (I know, right?!). I'm incredibly busy; and incredibly tired! However, no matter what is going on, I make sure that I continue to workout. :) Sometimes, it's a challenge to keep being consistent when all I want to do is pass out from exhaustion, but I know that the endorphins from exercising will help me manage all the stress and keep me in a good mood in the big picture of things! Plus, I've got some momentum going and there's no way I'm stopping now!! :)

I got my FREE t-shirt for
completing Les Mills Combat!

With that being said, I want to encourage you to keep on working out too; no matter what! Or, if you have stopped your workout routine (whether recently or maybe a long time ago) start it up again! Find something you enjoy and do it - for YOU! Do it for you body, your mind, and your spirit! You'll be glad you did! If you need help choosing something, let me know and I will suggest something that will be a great fit for you! That's what I'm here for, and like I have promised, I'm here for you no matter how "busy" I am! Helping people is my passion! Don't hesitate to comment or email me! 

Two exercises you might want to consider are the ones that are on special this month! If you workout regularly and are wanting to step up your game and REALLY get fit, now is the best time to buy Insanity because the challenge pack is $45.00 cheaper than it normally is! But, if that's not what you're looking for right now, how about the Shaun T Dance challenge pack? You get Hip Hop Abs AND Rockin' Body....AND Shakeology....all at one great price! I can personally vouch that all three of those things are AWESOME! :) I've been doing a little bit of everything right now, and those two programs usually end up being something that I end up doing! The exercises are effective and fun; and the music is great so you don't even think of it as a workout! 

"Stay with the Fight!"
You can do it!!

If neither of those options really appeal to you, I got even BETTER NEWS! From now until Sunday, many other Team Beachbody programs are discounted up to 50% OFF their normal prices! P90X and P90X2, for example, are only $59.90!! Or, maybe you'd like to get one of my other favorite programs, Les Mills Combat, for only $35.91?!! Yeah, really!! :) The prices on these programs are ONLY for a few days so DON'T WAIT! Shop the special summer selection now by clicking on this link to see everything that is available!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Check out the video clip below to learn more about the dance pack (click here to view the Insanity video because the embed code wasn't working). Again, if you have any questions, just ask! I'm here for you and we're all in this together! I know it's difficult, but "stay with the fight"! Don't get knocked out; just get back up no matter what! Find time for "you" and you'll get to where you need to be! It may take time, but you'll get there! I'm still on this journey too; and as you can see, I'm progressing! :) If I can do it, so can you! Be infused! God bless you! 

It's the Final Countdown!!!

It's the final countdown! No, not the song (although the song is quite awesome..they actually use it in Les Mills Combat, by the way!). I mean it's the final countdown until the April Summer Slimdown Challenge begins! If you have been thinking about joining, don't wait any longer! The journey begins on April 21st...that's only five days away!! Click here to find out how to lose those winter pounds and have a chance at winning a 21 Day Fix program (I have a team member who is doing another round of it and she has already lost 9 pounds and over 5 inches! You definitely want to win this prize!).

The only other thing I wanted to mention is that Power 90 (regularly $59.95) is still on sale for $39.95 until the 28th and The Ultimate Reset (no working out, just a gentle detox and maximum weight-loss!) is also on special until May 6th! You got LOTS of options, people! Team Beachbody wants to get YOU fit and healthy so you can enjoy your summer; full of life and energy! Who doesn't want that?!

Grace and peace to you, my friends!! Contact me ASAP to reserve your spot in the challenge! I'm waiting for you!! The countdown is on! Ok...fine...we're all hearing it in our heads so we might as well watch the video lol! How can you NOT feel inspired and like a kick-butt warrior when you hear that?! It's callin' your name! ANSWER THAT CALL!! You can do it! Be infused! God bless you!

The Health and Weight-Loss Secret

It's been almost a month now since I've been on Shakeology again. Since my own personal reboot, I have noticed some positive changes in myself! I have lost several pounds and have been happily experiencing the rejuvenating effects of my "magic flower". My chronic fatigue, aches and pains, allergies, and digestive issues are continually fading as my body welcomes the complete nutrition of Shakeology and my energy and endurance levels increase. My sometimes overwhelming urges to eat (including food cravings and sweet tooth) are also disappearing once again. I feel stabilized, self-controlled, and able to just enjoy food when I'm actually hungry rather than just eating whenever I feel like it due to random desires to eat. Words just can't express the difference that I feel in myself; mentally, emotionally, and physically. Shakeololgy is just too easy! If there ever was a a health and weight-loss secret (or secret weapon) THIS is it! Of course, this is one secret that is meant to be shared! I'm not tight lipped about it lol!

As if that weren't enough, getting back into the workout groove is helping a lot as well! I have just finished my third week of Les Mills Combat (which is still on sale until the end of the month). I'm building strength, endurance, and becoming more fit; and LOVING IT! With prayer, the nutrition in Shakeology, and the aid of some Results and Recovery Formula, I'm persevering through these intense workouts! All glory to God because through Him, I'm accomplishing what I need to do! Believe me, there are MANY days where I just want to skip working out or mixing up Shakeology because I don't "feel like it". Then, I just pray and ask for the wisdom and strength to make the right choices and "stay with the fight" (and He provides it)!

Personal success makes me all the more driven to keep pressing onward toward the prize of a healthier life. It also further motivates me to share it with others! By now, most people have heard me talk about Team Beachbody programs and Shakeology so much that they are probably sick of it. Understandable. It's hard not to sound like a broken record, but I don't know anyone who can shut up about something that they're truly passionate about!! When you find something that works, you can't help but spread the word and hope to help someone else that wants to accomplish that same goal! THAT is why I do what I do; for me, and for YOU! I continue to do the programs, drink Shakeology, and be a Team Beachbody coach because I wouldn't stand behind someone or something that I didn't believe in or have personal experience with. Just like my faith in Christ, I want to keep putting all of this out there for people to see so that their lives can be just as blessed! Reaching my goals (and encouraging/helping others to reach theirs) is the ultimate satisfaction; more than any commission I earn. It's PRICELESS! Anyone who knows me knows my heart and that I yearn to be supportive and motivate others to success!


Grace and peace to you, my friends! I really hope that anyone who reads this will know that anything is possible through Christ!

God bless you!

Quick Update

I am almost done with my second week of Les Mills Combat. It's going pretty good; sore, but good. ;) I am enjoying it for the most part and I've got Results and Recovery Formula (and Shakeology...of course!) to get me through; and a lot of prayer lol. It's still not too late to take advantage of the March promotions! You can join me in Combat! :)

The other thing that I wanted to mention is that now through the end of March, you can try a 30-day bottle of the ActiVit Multivitamins. All you pay is $4.95 shipping and handling! So, if you've ever thought about trying ActiVit, now is the time to do it!


Grace and peace to you, my friends! That's all I really have for today. My only other reminder is about my $25.00 e-gift card drawing. Read my post about how to enter! :) Be infused! God bless you! 

Getting Geared Up!

When it comes to working out, it's essential to have the basics in order to get moving. Workout clothes, supportive shoes, and a water bottle are absolute "must haves". Sometimes, you might even get some other extras like a music player to listen to while you run, a heart rate monitor to track time/calories burned/etc., or equipment of some kind. Whatever it is that you need, it all helps you attain your fitness goals!

This is why Team Beachbody has added several new choices to their men's/women's apparel line (including Shakeology, Focus T25, and P90X3 shirts!) as well as HUGE savings on their stability ball, stability ball/medicine ball combo, and the Tai Cheng Rumble Roller. Click on any of those links to view the product or visit www.infusion413.com and click on "shop" to browse the store for whatever you may need (including Shakeology shaker cups)!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Remember, you can always get a FREE T-SHIRT every time you complete a Team Beachbody program (and be entered to win cash and prizes too!). Simply sign-in to your account (sign up for FREE if you don't already have one) and click on the "Beachbody Challenge" tab at the
top to submit your "before" & "after" photos and they will mail you the corresponding t-shirt of the program you've completed! Yep, it's that easy! I got one for completing Focus T25! Once I complete Les Mills Combat, I'll get a shirt for that one too! All I have to do is "Stay with the fight" (as they say in the workouts). I'm really sore after these first few days of the program, but I'm going to keep pushing through! I got my Shakeology and my Results and Recovery Formula (and the amazing power of prayer) to get me through! I'll make it by the grace of God! ;) Be infused! God bless you!

March is PACKED!

Well, it's March already! Eager for Spring? I know I am! I know everyone is tired of Winter, to say the least! It won't be long now! Spring starts on the 20th which means warmer weather is sure to follow! Then, SUMMERTIME!! :)

NOW is the time to not only start Spring cleaning our homes, but ourselves as well (from the inside out!). If we want to be healthy, active, and energetic for warmer weather activities, we need to prepare! That's probably why Team Beachbody has packed March full of deals; literally!! THREE CHALLENGE PACKS (fitness program PLUS Shakeology) are on sale THIS MONTH! Yep, THREE!! :) The first one you already know about; Les Mills Combat. It's the program that I am gearing up to start soon (and hoping I will have some peeps contact me and tell me they are going to join me!!). They have also decided to offer the Les Mills Pump challenge pack at a HUGE discount (and this program INCLUDES the weights and only three times a week)! You will save $140 off of this one! Yeah, that's kind of a big deal right there! Last but not least, a major savings of $85.00 on the Ultimate Reset challenge pack! If you ever just wished you could cleanse out your body and start fresh (and without totally ravaging it in order to do it) this is the perfect safe solution! Click here to visit my site and learn more about it!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! I hope you are as excited as I am about these incredible deals! I'm looking forward to starting Combat! Who's with me?! I got my program, my Shakeology, and even my Results and Recovery Formula to help me build muscle and cut down on soreness. I'm set! I hope you are too! Contact me if you have any questions! Be infused! God bless you!

Entering Warrior Mode!

I've been out of it. Though, it's a fairly predictable cycle. I always seem to be lagging in the winter months when actually, I should be more active than normal in order to keep my mood (as well as my weight) stabilized. But, like most people and their typical excuses, I started falling off the wagon around October/November once things got busy and the holidays came around. Then, I was just plain out of the habit, feeling yucky and depressed, and not wanting to start up again.

However, that's about to change! Now that the holidays are over (and I'm settled into my new home as well) I am ready to get back into my normal routine! That means, this girl is getting her Shakeology back and starting a new program! The Les Mills Combat challenge pack deal isn't available to coaches (bummer!) but I STILL got a good deal since I have a coach discount! ;) Therefore, I'll be starting the program VERY SOON and will be feeling GREAT again once I'm drinking Shakeology every day (that expense was temporarily on hold for a while...which REALLY sucked!).

I am SO READY to get back into my rhythm! Shakeology is such PERFECT nutrition and I feel amazingly full of energy (I'll need it it for Combat!). Fatigue and cravings will dwindle away (as well as the pounds) and my pain level becomes minimized because of all the great stuff that's in Shakeology and somehow helps with my inflammation. It's a miracle for me and I look forward to feeling better and reaping all the awesome benefits of Shakeology! If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for?!

Who wants to join me?!! Like I've mentioned, the Les Mills Combat challenge pack is on SALE right now through March!!! I also recommend ordering some Results and Recovery Formula because with intense programs, this stuff helps with endurance and cuts down on muscle soreness (and helps you rebuild). I am excited to start! If anyone else wants to do this too, we can start a challenge group (support group) on Facebook! Comment or email me if you are interested and we will get r done so no one has to do it alone!!! ;) But, with or without you, I'm entering WARRIOR MODE!! Yeah, baby!!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! Remember, we're all in this together! Don't just watch me from the sidelines as I do my thing; PARTICIPATE!! We're a team: Team Infusion 413!! Let's work together and cheer each other on to success! Be infused! God bless you!

Are You Ready for Combat?!

This month's promotion has been selling like crazy! The demand has been so high that they are temporarily out of stock! Therefore, Team Beachbody has decided to offer next month's promotion early! That's right! You can now get the Les Mills Combat challenge pack (the program PLUS Shakeology) for a special low price. This deal is from NOW until the end of next month! Watch the video below to learn about the program. Personally, this is the program I have been wanting to do next!!

Grace and peace to you, my friends! I hope you are having a great week! The weekend is almost here!! Yay! Be infused! God bless you!
