Attack of the 1000 calorie meals.... Watch out!

Look out for these scary restaurant entrees with 1,000+ calories each. They're lurking in some of your favorite chain restaurants. Don't say we didn't warn you...

Olive Garden - Fettuccine Alfredo1,220 calories, 75g fat, 1,350mg sodium, 99g carbs

Mind you, this is the PLAIN Fettuccine Alfredo -- no chicken or shrimp on top. All carbs and fat, with no real nutritional value to speak of. That's a noodle-tastrophe if we've ever seen one! Instead... If you need pasta, stick to their Linguine alla Marinara (430 calories and 6g fat). You'll be satisfied and SOOOO much better off.

Red Lobster - Admiral's Feast1,506 calories, 93.4g fat, 4,662mg sodium, 101g carbs

People, meet ginormous plate of deep-fried seafood. Ginormous plate of deep-fried seafood, meet people. Okay, now that you've been introduced, we hope you never see each other again. Instead... Get something off the LightHouse or Wood-Fire Grill menu, or get some fresh fish grilled or broiled. Much lighter. A full portion of grilled sole with broccoli has 245 calories and 3.5g fat, and the Garlic Grilled Jumbo Shrimp has 365 calories and 6g fat.

Macaroni Grill - Parmesan-Crusted Sole2,190 calories, 141g fat, 145g carbs, 2,980mg sodium, 9g fiber, 82g protein

At first glance, this looks like it would be a smart choice but, AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH, it's actually ridiculously over-caloried and scary. 141 grams of fat?! 2,190 calories??? 2,980mg sodium?!?! This may be the most offensive fish dish in the history of the world. Not kidding. Instead... Go somewhere else. Seriously.

Applebee's - Crispy Orange Chicken Bowl 1,910 calories

How sad is it that this bowl of poultry has more calories than the Applebee's Brewtus Steak Burger (with bacon and cheese) and a side of fries? Um, VERY. Any veggies are lost under deep-fried chicken in a sugary glaze, crispy noodles, and rice. Eeeks. Instead... Get a half-size order (it's STILL big!) of the Oriental Grilled Chicken Salad for 350 calories. And if you want the Oriental Vinaigrette dressing, get it on the side, then DIP (don't pour), and use it sparingly -- a half-size portion of that dressing still has 290 calories. On second thought, you may want to bring your own dressing.

Why Strength Train?

By Kathy Smith

Still not convinced you should strength train? Here's a good reason. After the age of 30, we all lose a quarter pound of muscle mass each year. Yikes!

With less muscle, our metabolism slows down and we gain fat—averaging about 15 pounds a decade. While muscle is metabolically active (each pound of muscle burns approximately 35 to 50 calories per day), stored fat is not, burning far fewer calories. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day, whether you're walking, vacuuming . . . even sleeping!

What's more, while aerobic activity burns fat during exercise, weight training utilizes fat hours after exercising, so your metabolism stays slightly elevated for a longer period of time following a strength-training session than following an aerobic workout.

Become a Coach

What is a coach?
A coach is:

-someone who can help motivate and direct you as you move towards your fitness goals.

-someone who provides guidance with meal plans, troubleshoots issues with you, and supports your endeavor to improve your fitness level.

-someone who pushes you to do your very best to achieve the level of health that you desire.

Do I have to pay to become a coach?

There is a $39.95 start up fee. After that, the fees associated with being a coach are a 14.95 web maintenance fee. This is a monthly fee that is automatically charged to a credit card kept on file with Beachbody (BB.)

What are some of the benefits of becoming a coach?

There are MANY benefits of coaching! First of all, you have the opportunity to reach out and help others in this fabulous BB community!

You get the coach's discount of 25% on any products you order. Also, you have the opportunity to make the one time purchase of the show case package! There are way more than that! Probably too many to list, but all I can say is I find it one of the most rewarding things ever! And the icing on the cake is the potential to build my own business with it!

What is the Showcase Package?

This is an amazing collection of BB video workout programs. It includes Turbo Jam. Power 90, Slim In 6, Yoga Booty Ballet, Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs and Power 90 X!! It also comes with various workout equipment that normally comes with the video programs including B Lines resistance bands and a YBB squishy ball. The best part about it is you get over $400 worth of BB video programs for $199.95!! So you save over $200 with this!!

Do I have to be a club member to be a coach?

No. You do not have to be a club member to be a coach. The great thing about it is as a club member and a coach, you will be able to better help your customers with navigating the club area.If I become a coach, am I still eligible for the daily WOWY prizes and the monthly Success Story prizes? What about the year end Success Story prizes??

YES YES YES!!! Coaches are also eligible to win the daily, monthly or annual prizes!! How cool is that?! Not only can you grow your business potential as a coach, but you are also eligible to win prizes with the rest of the wonderful MDB community!!

Remember:

1. With the 25% coaches discount, the $14.95 monthly fee is taken care of pretty easily with my purchases- I use omega 3, activit, protein powder, and recovery drink. The discount on that more than makes up for the $14.95.

2. You really DO change lives. It is so rewarding to help people help themselves. Sometimes you have to believe in them before they believe in themselves, but once they see results--it is fantastic!

3. Nothing will do more for your own motivation than becoming a coach. When you put yourself in the position of being a role model, you WANT to be that person. If you were to look at my WOWY calendar before I became a coach and now, you would not believe how many more X's I have on the calendar now! It is another great way to make yourself accountable.

Even if you are just starting your fitness journey you will see yourself as being healthier because you are a fitness coach. Other people will notice that you are putting in an effort and making a lifestyle change. Whether you have lost 5 pounds or 105 pounds, friends and family will look at the effort you are making at becoming a healthy role-model and respect you for that.

A mistake some people make is that they think " I can't be a coach because I haven't lost much weight yet. Many people will relate to you just they way you are. We all struggle to push play and eat healthy. People will look up to you precisely because you are in the same shoes that they are, but you are taking control and doing something about it.

The beautiful thing is that precisely because you have chosen to become a coach, your own fitness results will become better than you've ever seen before!! People don't often write about this benefit of coaching, but I guarantee to you it is real!

Why?

If you've ever wondered, "How do I get my Coaches to share my excitement about the MDB™ opportunity?" the answer is as simple as WIIFM (What's in It for Me).

By helping your Coaches identify the rewards associated with building a network of Coaches and customers, you will naturally begin to see and feel excitement spread throughout your organization. It does not matter if you have two Coaches or two hundred Coaches in your network. The real energy that leads to unstoppable momentum is fueled by the WIIFM reward potential.

So what are these rewards? That depends on the individual. Each person is motivated by something different and your goal is to find what gets your Coaches' motors running. An easy way to discover this motivation is to ask them two simple questions:

What would you do differently in your life if you had an extra $500 to $1,000 per week? What would you do if you had more time to enjoy the things you want to do? Then ask more detailed questions that will help them to further define what they want. For example, if one of your Coaches wants to buy a new car, find out what make, model, color, and customizations they want. The more details they give, the more they'll be able to visualize the possibilities that exist with MDB. The clearer the goal, the better the chances it will come to fruition.

Once you know what your Coaches want, gently push them toward their WIIFM. Before long you will have a growing network of excited and productive Coaches. A little effort on your part motivating an existing Coach is a lot easier than trying to fill the gap caused by an uninspired and unproductive Coach.

In my 25-plus years of Direct Selling experience, I've realized that you cannot lead someone in a direction in which you are not going. So use the exercise above to help you re-evaluate your own goals and seek to strive toward bigger ones.

Everyone who takes the time to figure out their own motivating WIIFM reward discovers a stronger commitment to their own goals, which positively impacts their business every day. Be sure to make it an important part of the orientation process for each new Coach. Then watch out because you will see more energy circulating throughout your team than you ever imagined possible.
