You Get What You Need NOT What You Want!

I think some people try to take this life for granted. They are always wanting more, they never stop to take a look at what they do have. For instance, I have clean, fresh air to breath in. Freedom to do whatever I choose. I have a roof over my head. Food in my cupboards. Heat to warm my house. A bed to lay in at night. These are all things that we seem to take for granted, day in and day out! Which as I am sure you can all agree too, it is not right. We should be grateful for these things as others may not have any of the above.

As you grow up, the ignorance between the wants and needs in life will finally begin to make much more sense to you! You will understand that you will not always get in life what you want when you want it but rather, when you need it! (e.g. that awesome promotion at work, the baby you've been wishing for, that significant other, a new home, landing that amazing job, etc.) It may take weeks, months, years and years of stress, discouraging moments and even heartache, but your life is exactly how it is supposed to be right at this very moment.

Recent experiences in my own life have caused me to question, why exactly I can't get what I want right now. I have been working extremely hard. I have been doing everything I should be doing. I have been helping others find their happiness, yet what I want has not yet been given to me. I know that it will be ok though. I have came to terms with there being a plan in place for everything in life. God has given me this life because he knows I can handle it. He knows that I will be a fighter and never give up!

No matter what you may be going through in life, know that there are people out there that wish they had what you have. Stop focusing on the things you don't have and start enjoying the things you do have. This thing we call life, we only get one shot at it. There is no trial run, no second chance... this life is a one time deal. You have to make the most of it and enjoy the blessings. Whenever it is meant to happen, and it will happen, you will totally understand!

If you are struggling with coming to terms with recent experiences in life, I want to invite you to be a part of a community of uplifting and inspiring individuals! Individuals who have helped me realize some of the above! I don't always find happiness with why the things I want have not yet been given to me, but I know there is a plan. Know that it is ok to be frustrated, but don't dwell on it. For more information, please email me at stephainemcclintock@gmail.com or fill out the form below!

Enough is Enough! Excuses won't get me results!!

"Would you rather be covered in sweat or covered in clothes on the beach?"


That is what I have to keep asking myself. I have been slacking off hardcore and really not sure what the deal is. I told myself that I would commit to staying on track and focused over the last month to prepare for my birthday weekend in Myrtle Beach, BUT I have just been eating anything and everything I wanted (women, that time of the month, if you know what I mean!) It has been oober stressful. The lack of willpower I have just drives me insane!! The hardest part is that I mentally beat myself up and get really discouraged, depressed about not seeing any results..... NEWSFLASH, YOU DON'T GET THE RESULTS YOU WANT WHEN YOUR DIET SUCKS!!! Point. Blank!

So today, I have committed to going all in. I have 17 days until I head to Myrtle Beach and I know that I can I can do it.  After recently listening to some personal development about whether or not you can do something, it is all in how you go about it. Tell yourself you are going to fail, you will fail. Tell yourself it will be tough, but you know you can do it and constantly remind yourself you are doing great... you will do great! Positive reinforcement will take you great places! Which is exactly what begins today.... I KNOW I can do this.. and I will! :)

I want to extend an invitation to you! I want you to join me, cheer me on, help keep me motivated and cross that finish line with me! And in return, I WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOU! It is all about team effort. I find that when you have an amazing support group standing behind you, cheering you on, rooting for you, putting all their belief in you... you will without a doubt be successful! With that being said, I am hosting an exclusive 30 day challenge group beginning on April 6th. Our challenge groups have taught people the ultimate formula. Fitness + Results + Motivation + Accountability = Success! END OF STORY.

We offer our challenge groups the following:

• 30 Day Exclusive Challenge Group
• Basic Clean Eating Tips
• Meal Planning Tips/Tricks
• 30 Day Supply of Shakeology
• Motivation
• Accountability
• ME as your coach/guide through your journey

This is really the package deal! What helped me stay on track beginning my journey last February was the accountability in these groups! It is easy to say, "Oh, I just like doing it on my own." Ok well yes, I said the same thing... but what I found was when I ran into roadblocks, I had no one to share my frustrations with. If I had a plateau, I had no one to chat with or anyone to offer me a different method to follow. I knew nothing about clean eating. I knew about the 80/20 rule, but I never realized how effective it was until I had other people doing the same thing and seeing awesome results with it! It is all about balance with this journey, they helped me see that! 

I want you to join me on this journey! Take a chance. Understand that it is totally ok to ask/want help and support through this journey. It is not a diet, fad, or a quick fix. We work hard, every single day because we know that the end results will be absolutely worth it! I am only accepting 4 more individuals in this group... If you would like to be considered, please fill out the below form or email me at stephainemcclintock@gmail.com!

You Can Call the Shots!

As I sit here and look back on the last couple years of life, I know that I am traveling down the right path God has placed before me. I have really dived into creating a positive environment for myself. I knew that as much as it would hurt I had to remove some of the negative individuals who were constantly trying to pull me down. It's not that you are being selfish or overreacting, you have to surround yourself with positive, uplifting, inspiring people to live a positive life! You only get one life, why spend it sulking and completely miserable, NO THANKS!

Over the 14 months of being a coach, I have changed my thought process and finally got a grip of living life to the fullest. There is no need to spend your life miserable if you don't have to. As they say, YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR HAPPINESS! No one has the authority to make you feel inferior without your consent.

I want to extend an invitation to you to began creating a life you love, and one you can be proud of! Through an incredibly inspiring group of people who share the same passion as I do, I knew that there was so much to this crazy, beautiful life. I began investing in myself, taking up personal development, putting my happiness first, and started believing in myself. I have gained confidence. I have lost thirty pounds. I do not hate the girl I see in the mirror anymore. I have grew a happier and stronger relationship with my husband. I have relieved myself of thousands dollars worth of debt.

This opportunity is for anyone and everyone. There is not one individual too far stuck in a rut, or one who is too busy. This opportunity works for each and every individual who is willing to put forth 10-15+ a day to create a happier and healthier lifestyle for themselves and maybe even their family. You don't have to follow a specific outline, you don't need any certification, and the best part... THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO DO THIS!! You call the shots, determine how fast or slow you go! This journey can take you places you've never even imagined!!

If you would like more information regarding an amazing opportunity to join the Fit Squad, please fill out the attached form or send me an email, stephainemcclintock@gmail.com!

Stop listening to that voice in your head telling you, you can't achieve anything.  God is for you, who dare be against you. Don't let your mind hold you back from a life full of happiness!!

Believing in You!

How many of you can relate to constantly comparing yourself to others?! Guilty as charged!! Not something I am proud of but honestly, I am growing out of that stage! Slowly but surely. It is so hard to understand the value of your own self because the media, friends, acquaintances or maybe even family members are simply saying, "I wish I was more like so and so, or my life is never going to be like that."

SERIOUSLY, I did that my entire teenage years even into my late 20s, and it got me absolutely nowhere except for self loathing. I hated the living situation I was in, I hated my figure. I hated my freckles. My wavy hair. I always criticized myself because I wasn't like others and I never thought I could be like them, pretty much like there was NOTHING in this world I could do to change any of that. These people had lots of money. No worries in the world. Gorgeous hair. Beautiful home. Supportive family. They were thin. I could seriously go on... but here is the thing I didn't realize.

No one could ever be me. No one could ever offer the advice like I do. No one has the same thoughts as me. No one could put up a fight like I did to change ALL OF THE ABOVE! No one will EVER be ME! I am unique. I am special. I am beautiful in my own special way. It is extremely important to understand the value of self love and to realize you are God's gift to this earth... and you are truly amazing!

Now I never always believed in myself, and it honestly wasn't until just last year (yep, that's right.... 27 years old) that I really got a grip on self confidence, self love and being thankful for being myself. Actually it was only a short 7 months ago that I began to understand how much of an impact I am making on this world. How did I do it?

Personal Development?! What the heck is that, you are probably asking.... It is INVESTING IN YOURSELF! Reading self help books, learn ways to improve your life. Learn ways to believe in yourself. Learn ways to become better at a certain skill, etc. I know you are probably thinking I am crazy, and those books a bunch of crap, but seriously it helps... WHY DOES IT HELP? Because you realize, that your life is typically no worse than some of the greatest leaders and entrepreneurs in this world. You realize that maybe they even had it worse off than you did and are doing INCREDIBLE things. You realize that you are absolutely strong enough to be exactly like them and create a happier lifestyle!!

Another tip I want to share with you to believe in yourself and be more confident would be to surround yourself with positive, uplifting people! People who always are telling you to keep your head up. To keep fighting when you want to give up. People who are making this world a brighter place! They say that you are the average of the five people you hang out with the most.. Sooooo, if you are surrounding yourself with self-loathing, lazy, miserable people, chances are that is exactly how you will become!! You have to cut your ties with these people who bring you down. Surround yourself with people who lift you up and want to help you become this amazing person who understands that he/she is absolutely amazing!

Now this doesn't happen overnight and it is a long road to recovery, and I know that it will be hard... but when you look back a year from now and say "wow, I never really noticed how negative I was and I am so thankful for this life I wake up to EVERY SINGLE DAY now..." your ENTIRE LIFE has changed. You will be thankful for every rain drop, every sunny day, every person that comes in and out of your life, and EVERY SINGLE STRUGGLE you've gone through because it helped you get to this exact moment!

I want to leave you with a quote from a "self-help/confidence booster" book that I am reading, and I want you to really think about this!

"If you base your self worth on what everyone else thinks of you, you hand all your power over to other people and become dependent on a source outside of yourself for validation. Then you wind up chasing something you have no control over."


Realizing how amazing you are and what you have to offer to this world is truly something special. Know that I think you are such a wonderful gift to this earth & people who have you in theirs are extremely lucky! You are absolutely amazing! Never forget that!

Fitness. Nutrition. Support. Rewards! To keep you going strong!

So here I am, sitting and thinking about my New Year's Resolutions, I am pretty much right on target with them. Can you say the same? What did you commit to this year? Be more financially responsible, spend more time with your kids, reduce the technology use, or how about one of the top five and almost everyone's #1 resolution, TO LOSE WEIGHT....

How is that working out for you? Gyms too crowded? Personal Trainer isn't working? You can't cook "healthy" food because your kids and hubby/wife doesn't like it? Not seeing results quick enough? Every excuse under the sun right, every excuse except you might just not be giving it the 100% you said you would on January 1, 2015?

Did you know that I can offer you a proven system that will assist you in being successful in your health and fitness journey? It isn't rocket science, it is just a system we put into place... something that we spend a lot of time tweaking and ensuring the best possible outcomes and we basically wave it in your face like a million bucks! IT IS SO EASY!!! Are you ready for it? Hold on to your seat, it's that good...

PROPER FITNESS + PROPER NUTRITION + SUPPORT + REWARDS!!!! = SUCCESS!!

If you cut out any one of these above, there will be that missing puzzle piece!!

You can start a gym, get a personal trainer but you don't have a nutritional guide to help you figure out the proper diet or someone to keep you motivated. You could start a diet, but not have a solid fitness plan and lack of motivation to keep going, and so forth.

The reason why these four factors are so important is because you really need them, you need to understand what is the proper way to do certain workouts and when you only meet your trainer once a week, you are kind of left in the dark the other 6 days. When you are starting a diet, and you think eating a cheeseburger three times a week from Burger King is ok, then you are probably not going to see much results. You will just be sweating, just to sweat! And with lack of support or rewards, you get hung up on all those excuses you used above and fall flat on your face again... am I right or am I right?

TRUST ME... I was there. It wasn't pretty when I started. I had no support system, I never knew about clean eating and I learned everything for myself!

But you ask, "how do you get all four of these things in one place?" -- SIMPLE --- Join our upcoming Lifestyle Change January 26th Fitness Accountability and Support Group! :) We go over all the basics and teach you the what clean eating actually means, offer you a fitness program, daily motivation and support, as well as the awesome rewards that come along with it.

Here are all the incentives and so much more to getting into our upcoming group.

• Learn why nutrition is so important during this journey. Like the say, there is no such thing as poor fitness, but there is such thing as poor nutrition! You could spend hours in the gym on those cardio machines and see absolutely no changes if you don't eat properly!
• Support will add so much value to the group. A community of like minded people who you can chat with 24/7 in a private group, offering their tips, knowing they are all willing to help you! If at any time you found yourself struggling, you could easily go to the group and see that everyone else may be struggling but are lifting each other's spirits and rooting you on so you keep going! You will be able to connect with many new people and maybe even create life long friends. You are all taking on an incredible journey together and all creating a happier lifestyle! This will help YOU create your SUCCESS STORY! We're rooting for YOU!
• Ever find that you can't stay on track, because you don't have a meal plan and you don't have time to research all that nonsense. What if you were handed a super easy schedule to follow, a meal plan to duplicate and proven results for you to believe in. I know for a fact when I started, I was so lost, didn't know what types of foods to eat, what to avoid and what was ok to have in moderation. All Beachbody programs come with that nutritional guide that you can follow along with and ensure you are eating correctly throughout the entire workout program. They also offer food storage containers that are based on proper portion control! It takes AWAY ALL of the guesswork to ensure you are getting the best nutrition possible! This is what most people struggle with!
• Shakeology! Shakeology is not your protein shake because it offers so much more than that. I was skeptic at first like many others and I didn't see the need to invest in this stuff if I was "eating what I thought was healthy". But after I committed to the 30 days, I realized I had so much more energy. I was able to get up in the early AM to get my workout done, no mid-afternoon slump and how about this one, LESS CRAVINGS FOR SWEETS!!!! It was so simple, so easy, and so delicious! It takes less than 5 minutes to make so if your are in a hurry, this is a great alternative to stopping at the local gas station for coffee and a muffin! In all honesty, it will save you TIME & money, both which are extremely valuable to you, I am sure! And for my last point about shakeology. It offers proper nutrition that I was never getting before. I am healthier, performing better with my workouts and now I use it as my daily vitamin. It is not a weight loss shake or a protein shake, it is simply a healthy, nutritional shake! EASY. SIMPLE. GRAB & GO FOOD CHOICE!
• ACCOUNTABILITY is what every person needs when beginning a workout program and/or diet! They need someone who is going to keep them in check, and someone who is leading by example! I as a coach know that my challengers are watching me, asking did I workout today, did I eat healthy all day, did I have my shake today. These are the lives of people who want to be better and want to live a happier and healthier life, so if doing what I love is enough to help change people's lives, I am all in! SIGN ME UP!

So here's the great news: I am hosting a 45 day fitness support and accountability group through my online Facebook private page.

Tips on Dining Out (The Healthy Way!)

How many people absolutely love weekends? The freedom to relax, hang out with friends and family, do all those fun activities, and EAT OUT!?!?! OH NO... all your hard work is instantly ruined because there aren't any healthy items on the menu... and you think, oh that's ok -- I'll just start again Monday!

WRONG WRONG WRONG.

I am here to share with you five tips that I think will be very helpful for you while dining out... AND you won't have to eat just rabbit food! Exploring the different ways to modify your meals is very simple and easy! These are the tips that have helped for me and normally what I do when I go out to eat.

Tip 1: Map out where you will be eating!

Why you ask? -- The reason I make this tip #1 is because it is the most crucial! If you are prepared for where you are going to dinner, you will be able to look at their online menu! Most companies nowadays share their menus on their websites. This will give you a chance to look over the menu, pick and choose what you like and think about ways you will be able to modify it to be much healthier!

Tip 2: Ask for grilled, broiled, or steamed!

Why you ask? -- Obviously, this should be a given. If you are trying to stay on track with your nutrition and fitness.. when you're out to dinner and you find an entree you like but it's breaded... ask if there is an option for it to be grilled or broiled. Breaded meats PACK on the calories... on average a 4oz piece of grilled chicken would be between 100-125 calories. If you were to get a piece of breaded chicken, there could be double if not TRIPLE the amount of calories there!! Also another tip I want to share here, if you have side options .. choose the steamed veggies!! There is no extra added fat, which essentially means no extra calories!

Tip 3: Ditch the POP/Soda!

Why you ask? -- Oh my goodness, where do I even begin here. The amount of sugar, the 16-20 ounce glass you're getting, and oh how many refills did you just have? Pop is a no go, ask for water. Most health and fitness websites mention you are suppose to drink half your weight in ounces! Add some lemon to it and you have yourself a healthy flavorful drink SUGAR FREE!!! This should be a given, just ditch the pop!



Tip 4: Sauce on the side, please!

Why you ask? -- Getting your salad dressing or sauce on the side will help cut back on those calories! If you get your sauce on the side, typically (from when I waitressed) the ramikins are about 2 oz, BUT when the restaurants put the sauce right on the entree, you can never gauge actually how much sauce you will be getting! Dressings (such as ranch) are really high in fat and calories. I usually get my salad dressing or sauce on the side and just dip my food in there but very cautious not to use a lot of it.

Tip 5: Save your cheat meal!

Why you ask? -- Ok, so when you're on your health and fitness journey -- and you'e trying to eat healthy but your friends asked you to go to dinner this weekend. OH NO, WHAT DO I DO... RESTAURANTS ARE PURE EVIL... no no no! Just listen, if you are on point with your eating habits during the week and you know you have an obligation to eat out with friends or family, be cautious throughout the week and save your cheat meal. Maybe you want to have a glass of pop or you would like to have mashed potatoes and gravy with all the fixings. You don't want to deprive yourself, and I'm not telling you you have to do this to lose weight or be healthy... just make healthy choices and you will do great!

I hope these five tips help you better handle eating out situations. I know they can be rough, and when  you're eating out with friends you don't want to be the "difficult" person but sometimes, you have to. Don't let the peer pressure of others affect your decision. It's your body, you have to live in it... not them! I am not saying I am a fitness expert or nutritionist, I am simply offering you my personal opinions and advice! I hope you find them helpful.
