Sneak Peek into Beachbody Coaching
New Sneak Peek starts on Monday September 22.
I know you guys know that I am a fitness enthusiast, but I also am very passionate about helping woman add some financial freedom to their families. For me, the way I do that is with Beachbody Coaching. I have been able to provide for our car payment and student loan payment, and I am not stopping there. I am helping my team to do the same. There is nothing better then helping someone to lose weight and gain financial freedom all while doing it myself.
We are all mothers, full time workers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, wives, military families, any profession you can think about. You do not have to be a trainer or a fitness professional, what you do have to have is a strong work ethic and a desire to help people better themselves. BUT remember that you are on your journey to it doesn't matter if you are 100 or 400 lbs you have an ability to add worth to people's lives! One way of doing that is through Beachbody Coaching.
If you have been seeing me post about coaching and wondering what it is all about and want some more INFORMATION before considering it please join us. Our goal and desire is to share all the important details with you before you make your decision. After this group you will be able to decide if coaching is right for you & your family.
There is no commitment required. It simply is to help you see if this is a good fit for you. Beachbody coaching and my team has completely changed my life & I am passionate about passing this on to others.

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!
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!
Are you a military family facing your first move or your tenth? I would love to hear from you and any advice you may have for me or just to connect with you! Shoot me a message at fitnic13@aol.com or find me on facebook.com/nicolemcduffiesfitness.

After Insanity |
I don't know if you have heard anything about Beachbody Coaching? Have you ever been approached about the opportunity or heard about it on one of the workout DVDs? I started coaching in April and I am hoping to make it my full time job. Right now I do stay home, but recently finished my Education degree and had planned on going to back to work when my little one turns 4. While I love children, helping people lose weight and feel more confident about themselves is my absolute passion. I love this job! I don’t hound anyone or pester anyone. I just ask questions and offer help when someone wants a new program, are not seeing results that they want with what they are doing, or has a general fitness or diet question. It has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done. When someone loses 10,20, or 50 lbs because I helped them pick out a program and held them accountable through a closed facebook page, there is just nothing like that! I also love never having to be in an office or answer to a boss–I work it because I want to and when I want!

Here is a general overview of Beachbody Coaching. If you would like to sign up with our team and do not have a TeamBeachbody account click here to sign up as a coach. If you do have an account email me at fitnic13@aol.com for the next step.
- If you buy a Beachbody Challenge Pack (it comes with a fitness program, Shakeology, and a month membership to TeamBeachBody), your sign up fee to coach is waived!
- If you are actively in the military, it’s free to sign up! You just fill out a short form and fax it in to get signed up for free. Contact me at fitnic13@aol.com short form and fax it in to get signed up for free. Contact me at fitnic13@aol.com to find out more. My husband is in the Navy and everything for him is 100% free. If you are in the military there is NOTHING to lose here and you can earn money!
- If neither matches your circumstances, it is $39.95 to start coaching. This fee covers your online office with lots of web tools and training and 2 shop websites (www.teambeachbody.com/msfroggie7 and www.myshakeology.com/msfroggie7)
- Monthly Fee: $14.95 to maintain your office and website
- Once you go Emerald: $39.95 per quarter for a premium membership with meal plans and celebrity chats.
If You Are Already Drinking Shakeology…
- You are spending approximately $139 a month for it. By becoming a coach, you will save $34.75 a month on it. That’s $400 a year!
- So if you became a coach and did NOTHING to work your business, you would pay $219.39 for becoming a coach for a year. Based on your Shakeology savings of $417, you still would save about $177.61!

- If you do build your team with 2 or more coaches, you qualify for customer leads. These are the people that buy a program off television and do not have coach; Beachbody randomly assigns them to you. You then can make a 25% commission off of their future purchases.
- You get first access to all new products and programs.
- Start up is just $39.95 and then you pay $14.95/month as a website fee (you get 3 websites for that)

My Fitness Journey so far...

One day I was flipping channels and saw a P90X infomercial…. (I am a
sucker for workout video infomercials…I LOVE watching them!). Something about
P90X spoke to me. At the time the hubby and I were about to move from Texas to
Alabama, but I went ahead and ordered it. I actually ended up ordering just
Power 90 by accident. I was disappointed about that, BUT I did it anyway! =( When we finally got into our new house I
decided to go ahead and do that and get myself conditioned. I had never really
worked out before. So in 90 days I finished Power 90, and wanted more!! I
ordered P90X and completed it twice! I lost weight and put on some lean muscle.
I was making progress on my body and was feeling more confident, but I
didn’t get the results that they had on the screen. I didn’t realize it at the
time, but I wasn’t eating like I should. I was doing the workout without putting
in the work in the kitchen! I lost some inches, some weight, but now I think
about what I could have achieved if I had just eaten healthy!! =) In addition to
P90X I took up running. I got to where I could run almost 4 miles. I loved running. Then I became pregnant. I continued running (with okay from my
doctor). I ran until about 7 months, then I had to fast walk as I became bigger.
The biggest difference I saw this time is that I only gained about 13 pounds. I
contribute that to running/walking about 4 days a week while I was pregnant. So
my biggest encouragement to women now is to please continue a workout program
while pregnant. I still ate what I wanted too. Once I had my son, I had the
easiest recovery even though he was my biggest baby weighing in at 8lbs 10oz!!! I was in
my prepregnancy clothes by one week out….woot, woot!! I continued to run after about 3-4 weeks recovery time.
When my son was 9 months old my husband got word that he was to be
deployed. Since I knew I wouldn’t be able to run everyday on the treadmill with my son I started
looking at beachbody workouts again. I needed something that I could do with him in
the house or while he was napping. I again watched an infomercial, but this time
it was on Insanity. I thought to myself, “WOW! That looks like an awesome
workout!” I ordered it. I started it before my husband left. Completed it almost
twice by the time he came home on break, and he was blown away at the results he
saw! I had lost 10 lbs and more inches. I love that I can do this workout with my kids running around and
playing. Most of the time my son sits right beside me and plays with his toys
while I workout. Let me tell you that he loves Shaun T! Every time he
hears his voice he starts jogging and now that he is almost 2 he does his
“push-ups”!! I didn’t know where to go from Insanity because what do you do after Insanity? It is the BEST workout I have ever done and gave me the most amazing
results. So, I again checked out beachbody and saw that there was an Insanity
Asylum and I ordered it. I have completed it twice now. It gave me more defined
results!
I have gone on to finish Shaun T’s birthday Insanity challenge with my third round of Insanity. I did it this time with a great friend, and
we followed the nutrition plan which I had never done before. I got the best results I had seen so far!
While doing most of these workouts I had to carve out time in my
schedule because I was working full time, going to school full time, and being a
mom. It was tough and there were times when I was up late or early! It can be
done, if you make it a priority. A workout is like 4% of your day. I either got up early or stayed up late during the time before I finally got to stay home.
I decided after completing these programs and seeing the weight and inch loss that I got that I wanted to help people do this too. I just want to inspire people to reach their health and fitness goals. I figured if I could help one person it would be worth becoming a coach. So I am coaching and it is truly my passion. I love helping people meet those goals. It is a very rewarding job.

So now I am completing Shaun T's new workout called Focus T25. I am on week 9 of 10 so almost done! I have to say that at 33 I am in the best shape of my life, and am only looking to get better!
