Proud Daughter Moment!! :)

Today was an extremely proud daughter moment for me! I was chatting with my mom a couple weeks ago and recently learned that she had committed to getting a gym membership! As her only daughter who has such a huge passion for health and fitness, I was beyond ecstatic. We never really talked too much but after chatting with her everyday after that call and saw that she was totally committed, I thought about mentioning to her about this super awesome Shakeology Sampler that Beachbody just released (read on to hear more about this awesome new product). It was perfect for her because she could sample all six flavors of Shakeology that we offer. I don't recall her ever drinking any nutritional shakes and thought it would be the perfect addition to her health and fitness journey!

I spoke with her today and she had mentioned that she really enjoyed her shake! She was excited because she had so much energy and the taste was great! :) I was seriously just jumping for joy because my mom has always been the type to put everyone before her. She would always ensure everyone else's needs were met before hers which in turn, caused her own needs (health) to be placed on the back burner. She finally realized that she was done with the excuses and she wanted a change! I couldn't have been more proud of my mother for this!

What amazes me even more is that she was able to experience some of the amazing benefits of Shakeoogy right after having the shake! She had long lasting energy that helped her keep active all day! Do protein shakes do that? Probably not which what makes Shakeology so unique. Shakeology IS NOT (and I repeat, IS NOT) a protein shake. It is an all-natural, superfood packed nutritional shake! It has more than just protein. It has those Superfoods that help fight against inflammation (which is the leading cause to most diseases!!!) Shakeology helps regulate your digestive system and gives you some long lasting energy! But yes, Shakeology will assist in your weight loss journey but it is not designed strictly for weight loss. It is designed to ensure you are getting PROPER nutrition which in our society, is ignored most of the time. People lack time, are always on the go and would rather accommodate their growling tummy with a quick and easy trip through the nearest driveby.. but yes another added benefit to Shakeology is the simple fact that it is quick, easy and super convenient!! If you would like to take a leap of faith, and just go with your gut feeling and give Shakeology a go, email me at StephMcClintock@teambeachbody.com!!
Order the Shakeology Sampler!

Going back to my mother's situation where she constantly neglected her own health after having her children and then of course grandchildren.. I want to make it very aware to you that YOU are worth so much more than you think! Every single person, no matter how busy you are, how much stress you are under, who all you are caring for, etc. deserves to have their needs fulfilled just as much as everyone around them. YOU have to be ok with allowing yourself some type of success, happiness, and fulfillment in life!

Wouldn't life be wonderful if you could be surrounded by uplifting, inspiring, and motivating individuals? People who understood the struggles you experience in life, but also could share tips and tricks on ways to overcome those struggles? What if you could stop the negative self-talk? What if you could design a life you were proud of and you actually loved! If you answered yes to any of these questions, I want you to join our Fit Squad! Fill out the questionnaire below and I will contact you about an amazing opportunity you will not want to miss out on.

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!
