It feels good to be back

I have been absent from my blog lately and here is why:

We are a (very proud) Navy family and we have only PCSed (relocate) one other time. The one other time we moved to Houston, TX about 7 hours from home. We were only gone for one year and my husband was picked up for a program in the Navy where he was able to finish out his schooling in college as a nurse. So after one year of being away we got to move back to our hometown where our family's live and where we grew up.

  It took John almost 3 years to complete his degree and we were to PCS to Virginia. Close to his completion we were told that if we wanted we could stay where we were for another 3 years as John would only have about an hour commute. Needless to say, we have been extremely blessed, this is not typical for military families. My kids got to grow up for 6 more years with grandparents and our church family.

We found out that we would indeed be PCSing to Virginia for real this time. Only about 14 hours from home. My heart was sick. However, despite the sadness we know that this was the will of God, and where we were supposed to be coming. We decided that we were going to buy a house. So 2 months before we drove up to meet with the realtor and see some houses. We had been searching for weeks and found about 20 homes in the neighborhood we wanted and the schools that we wanted. When we sat down to meet with her the day before going out to look we found out that about 15 of the 20 homes were already under contract! I was thinking what do we do now!

We go back to the hotel, PRAY, and we did another search. We came across a house in our price range with 5 bedrooms. There were no pictures of the inside only the outside. I told my husband, John, I don't care it is in our price range and it would mean that each of our 4 kids could have their own bedroom. Something my 11 year old had been praying about for a few months because she was tired of sharing a room with her sister!

 

The next day, we found out we could see the house, and we did. It was absolutely perfect. It had EVERYTHING we had prayed about in a home that we wanted. A fenced backyard for our kids to play in and the dog to be able to run around in, an office space for my Beachbody business, did I mention 5 bedrooms, a closet that was big enough, and lastly a jet spa tub (yes I prayed for that!!!). I didn't need to see any other house, this is the house that I wanted!

My office

     God is so wonderful and amazing in the ways that he works for our good. I never imagined that we would be able to have something so nice, but he worked it out. We came home with a renewed peace. I held on to that peace until we moved. Moving was so much harder then I thought it was going to be. I thought I was prepared to leave home and move away from all that we had known. BUT I was so wrong. I wasn't prepared for the loneliness that we would feel. I have still been holding on to God's promise that he is guiding our path even if it has been with one finger and I don't feel it, everyday I say I have faith in you and your will. Because he has been with us every step of the way.

     I have been missing because I had to do some soul searching and come out of the fog of depression. I had to get back into the word of God again so that I could feel at peace again. I had to make sure that helping people lose weight and gain financial freedom was something that I could do still. A friend who has been also going through some troubles posted about them and she had some beautiful words of wisdom. Sometimes the best way to help yourself is to help others! With that this is where I have been, but I am back and ready to help!

Active Military - Free Beachbody Coach

Thank you for your service!

So what does it mean to be a FREE Beachbody Coach?


The very first thing is that it means is that you get 25% of any Beachbody products. This includes all workout programs (P90X, Body Beast, T25, 21 Day Fix), any of the supplements (Shakeology, Results and Recovery, and Energy and Endurance), tshirts, and equipment.

Secondly, Beachbody wants to say thank you by  allowing you to sign up as a coach for free (normally $39.95), and they also your monthly fee is waived (normally $15 monthly). 

So if you have been thinking about earning some extra income or maybe even owning your own business, NOW is your chance. 

Lastly, if your husband or wife is serving active duty and they have no desire to be a coach, good news is that you can take their free business under their active duty status! 

What are you required to do?

You help people pick the program that is right for them and offer them a support system while they are completing the program. The groups that you run for these people help many of them to make it through the whole program! You have the opportunity to make this a full-time job and make a serious income. If you don't want this to be a full time job, and just want a little extra spending money or maybe offset what you are already spending on Beachbody products then you can do that too. It is totally up to you what you want from your business! There is training for everything and I will help you every step of the way.
