How do you describe yourself? Leader? Follower?

As I was sitting outside today enjoying some quiet time to myself and about to begin reading my personal development, I came across this little quote on a photo app that I have... "Be the lead character in your life!"

It really got me thinking, how do you think of yourself at this very moment? Do you tend to follow the actions of others? Need them to give you that extra umph to get started on your journey, or are you the one who is giving that extra push. Taking leads on the projects coming up. Being the voice in the crowd?


I use to be the follower. I use to not know what I wanted to do in this life. I use to hide behind everyone and let them take charge. I was a very shy girl growing up so I was afraid of people's opinions, I was afraid of what people my say about my ideas, and I was just afraid of being judged for the way I wanted to do things. Well, that's the beauty of my Beachbody business... I am the boss! I make the rules on how I want to run my business. I get to call the shots.

A leader is defined as a person who leads or commands a person or group! It's not that I want to lead my team or give them commands... I want to them to duplicate my actions! Become leaders themselves. I don't want them to hide behind me or shy away from an amazing opportunity... I want them to flourish and become the brightest star possible! Everyone is capable of being an amazing leader, it takes practice, trial and error, determination and will.

With that being said, I am looking to mentor 10 women in the month of May! I want to create leaders who are going to take over this universe! Who are ready to take charge of their lives. Design a life they love. Create freedom for their families and become so incredibly comfortable with themselves that they want to share all these wonderful joys in life with everyone they come in contact with!

If you would like to be considered for this exclusive coach apprenticeship beginning May 26th, please complete the form below and I will contact you with more details regarding this group! I will be extremely selective with choosing the ten women. You must be willing to be active within the group, able to work with others, encourage those others around you and want to live a life you can be proud of! This journey in life we are on... you determine how you live it! Create a life that you can look back on and be proud of it! <3
*Design your dream life*

Third Time Around! May 3, 2015

5:30AM alarm on a Sunday morning? Are you crazy talking?! That is probably what all the people hanging out in the Steel City thought on Sunday, May 3, 2015, ready to take the route on an incredible journey through this gorgeous city! The weather was perfect. Blue skies. Temps just right. Sun was shining. Crowds cheering on strangers and their loved one. DJs. Bands. Spectators. Marching Bands. Cheerleaders. Friends & family. I have to say it, Marathon Day in Pittsburgh is seriously one of my favoritest days in this city!

This year, my third half marathon was super special! I got to run along side my very best friend! It was a great feeling to have someone supporting you and pushing you to keep going towards that finish line. While this run was probably the most difficult of the three half marathons I have ran, I still had one goal in mind.. finishing! Which is exactly what I did. There was doubts in my mind if I would make it to the finish line. I had pains in my knees. My ankles started to hurt. I walked too much. At one point, I felt like I should just crawl to the finish line, ha. (true story)

I don't want you to think you have to go out there and be perfect. I will be honest with you flat out... this was my WORST time for the half marathon! My official time was 2:57:33! Yep, you heard me.. almost 3 hours! My first half marathon was around 2:40 and last year my time was 2:20! So yep, that's right. I added 37 minutes to my time. But that's ok. I didn't train properly, but I knew I was committed to it. I went out there, paced myself because I didn't want to injure myself and knew that if I could cross that finish line, all is right in MY world!

Too many people strive to be perfect. They put so much pressure on themselves that they forget to enjoy this life they live. You were given one life. Don't stress on the things that didn't go right. Don't dwell on not achieving that goal the first time around. Don't think about all the negative comments you might hear for "failing." Remember this.. FAILURE is PROOF you are TRYING! You are working towards creating a better life for yourself! That is what life is about!

You take risks. You take chances. You fail. You get back up. You keep trying. You NEVER give up! Never ever give up! You can, and will succeed! And with that said... I will be back at it for Round 4 next year! I will train properly, and I will (MARK MY WORD) I will beat my time! :) 

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.

Busy Life. No Problem!

I have always been one who constantly likes to keep moving. I find myself going CRAZY when I don't really have much going on. I would rather be cleaning the house, working on a project, doing who knows what else than lounging on the couch watching television. I feel that this reason alone, is why I enjoy being a health and fitness coach so much! There is always something to do and never the same boring routine, day in and day out!

I am a full time employee, your typical 9-5er, in the awesome Corporate America world. I work for sales in an energy and gas industry. This in itself keeps me quite busy throughout the day. I am a recently married (almost one year) Furbaby Momma, who enjoys spending time with my husband, friends and family when I get the time. I also support my husband in his own business. He is a wedding disc jockey as well as the owner of Pixburgh PhotoBooth! We support each other through our wild and crazy ideas/dreams and passion! I enjoy working out and have been consistently committed to my health and fitness journey for the last 27 months.

Before getting a handle on time management, I always said I never had time to do anything! Hence, read all the things above I do on a regular basis. When I first started my health and fitness journey, I was riding solo. I would spend almost about an hour or two in the evenings at the gym. Although I wasn't living with my husband at the time, I still needed to prioritize my time to ensure I was able to spend quality time with him. I was also at the time working crazy amount of overtime due to saving money for our upcoming wedding. Life was seriously insane, and I wasn't sure how much longer I was going to be able to keep up with this routine.

With that being said, going back to January 2014, I was introduced to this crazy, health and fitness coaching opportunity with Team Beachbody! I was a little skeptical because I wasn't sure if it actually worked. I already had so much going on with work and planning my upcoming wedding, and ensuring that I had enough time to spend with my husband and do my workouts I wasn't sure I could add more stuff to my plate! Needless to say, I had my priorities completely OUT OF WHACK! Beachbody helped me relieve all the stress I had with Time Management, prioritizing my priorities and understanding the importance of nutrition during the journey! Why do I bring up the comment about the nutrition? Well it's quite simple.... when you follow the 80/20 rule, and consistently follow a workout program that has everything spelled out for you... YOU SAVE A LOT OF TIME! I was able to cut back on my workout times from 2 hours a day, to just 30-60 minutes a day depending on what kind of mood I was in!

I know what it's like to be busy. I know what it's like to say I will never have enough hours in this day to complete everything I need to... but I learned how to "Eat that Frog" as Brian Tracy would say. Simply meaning, do the one thing you are most likely to procrastinate on later in the day first thing!

I knew that I wanted to make something of myself. I knew that putting in the extra hours here and there would eventually allow me to free up time in the future once I started seeing things pick up! So, that is exactly my mentality. I make my priority to do list. I focus on what is important. How successful I want to be. How fast I want to grow this business and just how far I want to go with it. I know that I have some obstacles that stand in the way, but I have come up with solutions on how to work around them!

Read on to see what a typical day looks like for me:

• I sacrifice sleep time. Wake up call at 4:30 AM to get my workouts in so I don't have to worry about it after work (Eating That Frog!)
• 5:30 AM I schedule time to check in with my challengers, coaches and my upline's groups to ensure I can stay up to date with all the current events, news, and any other necessary items on my to do list for my business.
• 6 AM - I make myself a delicious breakfast to ensure I get my day started off right
• 7 AM - Finish getting ready for work, then head to the office
• 7:40 AM - Hope in the car, and listen to an awesome personal development podcast or our National Wake Up calls! Knowledge is Power!!!
• Evenings are up in the air. If I feel like I need to spend more time on my business, I most certainly do, but most of the time I enjoy a nice, tasty dinner with my husband and relax for the evening.

Yes, you may think I am crazy for waking up at 4:30 AM Monday - Friday, but this type of routine fits my needs and schedule! I know that this routine will set me up for success... it works for me, it's not consuming my life, and I have my free time to do what I want to do.

I want to invite you to take a leap of faith, experience an opportunity of a lifetime, and learn how I am on the path to creating a life by design! If you would like more information, please fill out the form below and I will contact you! This exclusive opportunity is only open to 5 individuals at this time. This will ensure that I am able to spend adequate amount of time with these lucky individuals! Don't miss out, this exclusive group begins on April 6th!

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!!
