    My Journey – Who Is Stacy Rody?

    By InAbout Me 0

    My Journey

    Oh the journey!!  My social media family has grown tremendously over the last few months.  I thought it was time to share a little more about me – the good, weird & ugly.

    I’ve seen an incredible amount of personal growth & business growth over the past 3 years. My team is growing by leaps and bounds this year and I couldn’t be more proud. I wanted to share a little more about me or remind some of you what my passions are.

    It isn’t all perfect … not even close! I’m a REAL person.

    * I grew up a very insecure person
    * At the age of 12, I was told by a relative that I might be cute on the outside but as soon as I opened my mouth, nothing important came out
    * I met Jesus at age 12 but didn’t surrender my life to Him until I was 23
    * Really “meeting” Him was the pivotal moment that changed the course of my life forever. He heals my hurts and loves on me daily.
    * I had a pony named Partner growing up and learned how to french braid on his tail. Growing up on 5 acres with all sorts of animals was so fun!
    * I dabbled with drugs and the party scene until I met Jesus. Smoked cigarettes for over 5 years until I was 23 and then quit cold turkey
    *On my 13th birthday I ate almost a whole bulk container of Sour Patch Kids and every Christmas it was a bulk container of Jelly Belly’s
    * I’ve since traded dried fruit for my old “gummy” addiction and feel tons better
    * I am very sensitive to foods and finally realized I was gluten-intolerant after having my second baby. I won’t touch the stuff.
    * There have been times where I’ve struggled with depression and secluding myself into a shell. Exercise is the BEST drug for me to combat this
    * I am learning how to have a “thicker skin” and ONLY look at the positive in life

    – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

    * I do not have a college degree
    * I’m addicted to spray tans
    * I’m a makeup artist and esthetician by trade but have become literally obsessed with helping women feel beautiful from the inside out with health and fitness
    * Working at Nordstrom for 8 years left me with a nice appetite for all things beautiful ‪#‎shopping‬
    * I’m an “outgoing” introvert and have a fierce phobia of microphones
    * I had my heart broken at 19 and I went from one unsuccessful relationship to the next… always missing something…
    * I had to take a year off from dating (I’ve been on more blind dates than one person should ever go on) to let Jesus come into my heart and heal it
    * I ironically met my husband on a blind date ;)* I was in debt when I got married and never thought I would make a decent income….was used to living paycheck to paycheck
    * We’ve been married 10 years and I adore my man! Being a wife and mom is the BEST thing ever to me
    *Having a girl and a boy is what I’ve always dreamed of. Love their personalities and snuggles.
    * I love working to help support my family and also grow as a person so I can teach my kiddos about failing forward and how to push past tough obstacles
    * I’m not a certified fitness trainer but I love helping women find their inner confidence through their physical strength
    * I get excited to coach other women build successful businesses from home so they can have freedom to choose if they want to work outside of the home or not
    * I love working with those that stay in the game….the consistent ones who will not give up

    …. because – that – is – me!!

    I am NO longer that shy insecure girl but a CONQUEROR! That is ALL because of what Jesus has done in my life…. all the way down to Beachbody. He knew I needed this business so He could refine me and show me I had a voice.

    There is always a message in our messes. The journey is the beautiful part of it all.

    So… while I LOVE fitness, nutrition, make up, fashion, hair, home decor and all things girly -everything does not come easy to me. I have to work hard at it!

    Go buy ‘The Magic of Thinking Big’ on Amazon. You will NOT regret it!

    If you need someone in your corner – I’m that girl. I’d love to hear more about you 🙂

    Thank you for your support here and on social media. I truly appreciate the community that has grown around and with me…

    Have a wonderful night!

    XO, Stace

    22 Minute Hard Corps – An Amazing Woman’s Workout!

    By In22 Minute Hard Corps 0

    Finally, 22 Minute Hard Corps!

    I finally get to do 22 Minute Hard Corps.  I have been watching my husband just kill it the last 7 weeks while I have been having surgeries and been super sick… (thanks antibiotics!!!)  I was approved by Beachbody Corporate to do the workouts ahead of the launch of this amazing program!!  Yay!  It is short, sweet and I love it!  I definitely have to modify some of the moves, and am not doing every single set, but overall it is a HIIT style workout that pushes me past my limits!  22 Minute Hard Corps is very hardcore.

    I think I am going to like it a lot, but it will definitely push me beyond normal.  I am crazy about form, I like to do every move as perfect as possible.  Tony Horton, the creator of 22 Minute Hard Corps, doesn’t want you to sacrifice form, but he pushes you hard and fast.  Some of the moves that Matt, my husband is doing in the advanced workouts, are tough to keep up with.  Matt is going to do a second round, just to get everything totally down and so that he can get through every workout perfectly.  I struggle with all things push ups and pull ups.  Those are going to be my trouble areas.  Want to know how amazing this program is….Matt has already lost 19 lbs and over 9 inches….in just 7 weeks!!  He is looking good!  I can also see the energy he has now.  He had been doing Body Beast and then started Hammer and Chisel right before being invited to do the test group.  I haven’t seen him so excited about a program ever.

    Here’s a little sample pack of what you have to expect.

    [youtube id=”vGNOW0g__k8″]

    [youtube id=”p0ky-73SQxw”]

    I got done with my first full week and it was a challenge for this rebounding mom!  22 Minute Hard Corps is definitely a boot camp style workout.  It is about twice as fast paced as my old circuit classes I would take at the YMCA.  This is also a great program to change up with Turbofire.  They are nothing alike, but really can compliment each other.  Being a Turbofire and Chalene Johnson “lifer” (both are my first love because they changed my life) it is sometimes jump out of my comfort zone.  22 Minute Hard Corps is the perfect jump.

    I am excited to be doing this program and I’m excited for others to join me!  My husband has lost 18 lbs through 7 weeks and lost over 9 inches!!  I’m excited how my body will respond…I already feel the changes happening!

    Work In Progress! Progress Photos After Surgery

    By In22 Minute Hard Corps 0

    Work in Progress

    I took these photos today and I realized I looked better 10 months post (2nd) baby then I do now, a definite work in progress. Gosh darn it. Now, I am not on this journey to be perfect. NOT AT ALL! It is about me being the best version of ME. Competing with myself. Being that example to our kids that it’s about feeing good in our bodies and understanding limits and nutrition. Training my brain in the good habits, not the bad cycles I used to live in.

    I’ve realized if I don’t have a plan and if I don’t push out of my comfort zones, my old late night eating and binge habits come back. They creep in. I have been known to wallow in a little self pity. I’ve let the past hangups affect the present. Not forgiving myself or staying too long in that defeat. Not any more. Action builds confidence so I will put my head down and go. ‪#‎shutupnegativeselftalk‬

    Now this will require some commitment. I’ve lost results and strength from the surgeries but through accountability from the group and some hard work, I know I can gain it back, plus some. ?  No matter where any of us are at, we are a work in progress!  But with a group of women like us, we will hit results like never before!  I am going to be joining my husband in his official Corporate Beachbody Test Group with 22 Minute Hard Corps (read more about it here)!  I’m super excited about it, as his results so far have been awesome!  I want to tell everyone all about, as it is being released March 1st and we will be holding a test group March 21st to take people through it!

    Who wants to say goodbye to some bad habits and push with me? Who wants to welcome Spring Break with open arms? We start the “Rock Your Results” Challenge on 2/15. Message me or comment if you are up for a challenge! It includes:

    ~21-60 day workout schedule all laid out and accessed from any device
    ~one superfoods meal a day you don’t have to plan or prep (that tastes delicious)
    ~support from a group of like-minded women all trying to learn and grow
    ~full nutrition guide with portion control containers
    ~one on one support from me

    We are all a work in progress!  This is my before accountability post! We have 6 weeks until the cruise and I want my after photo to represent my diligence. That after photo is what motivated me after baby and STILL does. The time is NOW??

    The Healing Process and Focusing on the Positive!

    By In22 Minute Hard Corps 0

    My Healing Process

    Oh the healing process….having patience in this area is not my at all my forte.  As I sit and recover from the 3 surgeries I’ve had over the past 2 1/2 months, I think about this time last year. It’s funny how health changes, and how life changes. My hubs is in the exclusive Test Group for the soon to be released 22 Minute Hard Corps, and I haven’t worked out at all. His nutrition is on point and mine is right up there but not as perfect. He looks better this year than last, me…not as much.

    When I see this picture it makes me proud. It was at our earned trip to Cancun, Mexico with our Beachbody family. I almost had a six-pack…say, what??!! I worked relentlessly, I pushed almost daily. Sure, it was simple nutrition and 30-40 minute workouts at home, but it worked because my heart and soul were in it. These plans I talk about work!!!

    What this makes me want is to say that YOU can give your heart and soul to your health. You can make better choices and continue to learn about what works best for your body. You can get over any hang ups that hold you back. You can get stronger and gain flexibility, if you really want it.

    I am growing ever more thankful as each day passes as the healing process continues. The fact that I am even able to do fitness at all is a HUGE blessing for me. I whisper prayers of thanks as I do my workouts because I know working my body is a gift from God. Feeling the endorphin high and muscle soreness is an addiction I will never quit!!! I miss it so much! For those of you working out today, will you comment below and post that you got your sweat on? You better believe when I am released to workout again, I will be ALL over it! Our next trip is 6 weeks away and I want to feel just as good as I did last year knowing I gave my all….heart and soul!  So now I will continue waiting as the healing process takes its course!

    My Transformation with the 21 Day Fix.

    By In21 Day Fix 3

    21 Day Fix – A really short journey!!

    It only takes 21 days!!  You have containers to measure your food, workouts that you do daily and all you have to do is some prep and actually workout.  Oh, and the workouts are only 30 minutes long.  It is not hard, it just takes a bit of discipline and it will get you in shape!!

    Ummmmm…….

    I won’t lie….I was skeptical.  Beachbody was using a new trainer, Autumn Calabrese, with a lot of hype saying this really worked.  I had done a cleanse through Beachbody, called The Ultimate Reset back in June of 2012.  I lost some weight during that, but I also lost muscle because I wasn’t working out….it was a cleanse, but it was also 21 days.  But, Stacy, my wife, wanted me to do it.  So what the hey…….I decided to do it!
