Dec 19 2015 Weight Loss Journey after Baby #2!
This is my weight loss journey.
Oh my goodness, weight loss is no joke! It is so much easier to gain it than make it go away! How many can relate with that?! It took a lot of hard work and patience, as well as consistency to for weight loss to happen. In my case, with the help of Chalene Johnson and Turbofire, as well as getting my nutrition on point grounded with Shakeology, I was motivated to have a transformation like never before!! Come with me and watch how my life was changed and how you can too!!!
How I Reached My Weight Loss Goal!!
This is me in a nut shell!! I love Turbofire, it has changed my life. I am a stay at home mom, with two beautiful children. My kids and husband are my life! I knew I wanted to get in the best shape of my life and finally found a way to do it. This was me prior to Turbofire, and actually before being pregnant with kids. Being married and lazy, I started getting chunky. I was eating way too much and definitely not eating the right foods. I needed some weight loss bad!!
I purchased Turbofire and my life will never be the same, the weight loss began. I not only lost weight, I transformed into what I had always wanted. I had gone to the gym most my life. I had done weights, circuit training, some crossfit……. You name it I had tried it. But working out from home, consistently, with a trainer/coach like Chalene Johnson, changed the game.
I also changed my eating. I started using Shakeology. This gave me both energy and a better frame of mind. I literally could feel the difference as my body got used to it the first few weeks. Now it is a staple and my entire family has it everyday. I also found out I was allergic to gluten. I removed it from my diet and has really changed my life. The bloat is gone and feel so much better.
I want to encourage women and men, that no matter where you are in your life, you can always make a change, you can have a transformation!!! I thought I was doing great before kids. I thought I was in great shape! I was so wrong and I feel so much better now! I lost 41lbs in the eight months….that’s a lot of weight loss. I since have lost about 3 or 4 more. My body likes to be around 137 or 138, being 5’7″! Even though I feel I need more weight loss, my body really doesn’t like going below that. It has been an incredible journey.
I finally have my Lulu gear fitting the way I want! That is the benefit of working hard to reach your goals. Since my transformation I still workout all the time and am continually transforming into a better “me”!! What is holding you back from becoming a better “you”?!! I want to help. The journey is not easy, but it is doable and can be done.
I love helping others and this has been life changing. You may need a life change and I would love to see you transform into a more healthy and fit you!! Feel free to contact me….I will help you along the road as you create your own transformation!!

Sep 24 2015 Transformation Tuesday from Quebec!
TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY!
Genevieve blows me away with this transformation Tuesday! She is a full time working mom and takes pride in her health every day. Here is a peek into her story and life ——->>>>>
“I did not lose much, less than 10 pounds. But the daily balance is my best tool to measure my progress. I prefer to look at how my clothes fit, take my measurements and some pictures. I’ve worked out for about 20 years, many years of running and gyms. I will be 40 soon. Honestly, I have never felt so well and healthy since I discovered Shakeology. The nutrients keep me going on the days I don’t have time to eat breakfast or lunch. The battle is a daily one. It’s not easy but I have to say I look and feel better than I ever have.”
Her French text says “I am too tired, I have a busy week but I can do it!! ”
Excuses don’t lead us to our final destination. Avoiding them is what takes you places. If you mess up, know there will be another opportunity to make a better choice. Get back on the right path and don’t worry about being perfect. Even if it takes longer than you thought, keep running to your destination.
I feel the exact same way as her! The daily habits are the ones we master, not getting on the scale. I love to brag on my fellow team mates because they work so hard not only on themselves but with all of their clients.
Well done my friend and thank you for letting me share part of your journey. I wish we lived closer!!! Maybe a trip to Quebec is in order someday soon XO Another successful transformation Tuesday thanks Genevieve…you inspire me!

Jul 27 2015 Transformation! Jennifer gets fit!
Jennifer and I have been connected for over a year now and her transformation is so inspiring. She recently shared this picture in our group and I asked her if she would be willing to share her story. With tears in my eyes as I read this, I wish Jennifer and I lived closer so I could give her a big hug! She checked in the group almost daily and was dedicated beyond most. She is an example of what a healthy, strong woman is and does. Here is her story:
When you are ok with you who are on the inside, everything on the outside falls into place. It took me 35 years to figure this out, and this lesson has changed my life.
I spent a lot of time trying to be what I thought everyone else wanted, pushing aside how I felt and what I wanted for my own life. I always felt like I was never quite good enough…not even for myself.
You can only neglect yourself for so long before you start to forget who you are. You not only lose your confidence, but you also start to lose your health.
A few years ago, my world came crashing down. My dad died. I was in a car accident, and I was diagnosed with endometriosis. What was supposed to be routine surgery put me out of work for three months. Looking back, this should have been a wakeup call to slow down, but I had responsibilities and people I couldn’t let down. I started working harder than ever, and my health got worse.
At 220+ pounds, I was feeling pretty miserable, not just physically. I avoided most social situations, and I was often afraid to speak up. I rarely did anything fun. Looking back, I see I was hiding from my own life.
The only time I felt well was when I was moving. I started doing tae-bo and lost 30 pounds. I wasn’t consistent and didn’t know anything about nutrition. I gained ten back. This woke something up inside of me. It made me angry. I was determined not to go back to the way I was, and by December 2012 I was serious.
In 2013, I started to educate myself on what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. I read every article I could get my hands on. I learned about myfitnesspal, and I started logging all my foods, something I still do today.
I also discovered Beachbody. I wanted to challenge myself, and Insanity was the hardest program out there. I paused the videos constantly, but I finished the program. Getting that t-shirt was the best feeling ever. They are the perfect workouts for women!!
I’ve been hooked on Beachbody ever since. Besides Insanity, I’ve completed Les Mills Combat, Les Mills Pump, a Shakeology challenge, and P90X3. I’m one week away from finishing T25, and I have 2.5 weeks left of Body Beast. I also run several days a week and recently did my first 10K.
My health is now the one area where I put myself first. Workouts are non-negotiable. 6 days a week. My diet is pretty strict as well. All whole foods all the time, very little processed. I put a lot of planning into my meals, packing work lunches the night before. I love experimenting with recipes from sites like skinnytaste.com, and it turns out I’m a pretty good cook!
I’m down to 138 pounds now, and I’ve kept it off for a few years. I’m still working on building muscle and toning up. It’s hard to see changes now, but I feel stronger every day. The best part is not looking better but feeling healthy and strong.
Bettering my health has made me feel capable like no other accomplishment ever has. Because I feel capable I am more outgoing. Life now has so many possibilities. And the last few years have brought so many wonderful experiences. Taking responsibility for my health has helped me learn I have to do the same with the rest of my life too. I’m responsible for making sure my life is full and happy, and along the way my example is helping others too.
Can we please give her a shout out and feel free to share this if you can relate.
Well done my friend, well done!

Jul 01 2015 Passive Income Idea …..what?!!!!
Passive Income Idea
I always want to be honest and open, so when I first thought about this type of business I wanted to run the other way. I did not want anything to do with it! I actually made my hubby pinky swear he would never pressure me to sell anything. I just wanted to get the discount and to get fit and healthy.
I am the type of girl who likes my comfort zones and didn’t really “need” to work. I had just had my second baby and thought I was “too busy” to take on anything else. Working one day a week as an Esthetician seemed to be perfect. Or so I thought..
But then I got into the best shape of my life, I fell in LOVE with the products and workouts and the community as a whole. I saw the potential. The potential to learn and grow personally. I had the moment of truth when I was faced with staying the same and not changing or taking a risk and developing an inner strength I knew I needed to be who God created me to be.
Today, I decided to look back at June 2013 – $326, June 2014 – $1497 and June 2015 – $3477.
Not a huge amount….but way more than I ever thought possible!! This had become a passive income idea!
Finding Your WHY
I also started working this business on the side so I could still afford the nicer things that I enjoyed, while working minimal hours and being home with the kids. With not having to drive to work or leave the house. Working as a makeup artist at Nordstrom for almost a decade really spoiled me in the fact that I like to buy quality over quantity. I also wanted to help support my husband and come up passive income ideas. Possibly pay for the kids private school.
My reward is not the money, in fact, if I didn’t make a single penny more I’d still do this because it’s making me a better mom, wife, and woman. I’m more confident in areas I never thought possible (mainly computers and opening myself up. I’m a total introvert 😉 The money is just a bonus!
The Blessing
The blessing is now, my husband’s business is still in the waiting process in a couple areas. We are both self employed so the income that our coaching business brings in now is helping us a lot! We now work as a team and it’s been really fun. This month we were able to pay our utility bill, mortgage, our Costco bill, health insurance and pay for all of our Shakeology ( our favorite meal of the day as you know-lol)
Daily we get to inspire others to reach their full potential and teach them to pay it forward with coaching others during their journey towards their goals physically, mentally, and financially.
The majority of our income is what our team does to change the lives of others. So we mentor and teach our coaches on how to share their story, their life and their journey and invite others along the way. Just changing lives by sharing their story, just like I am doing now. We all have a story. You don’t have to be in perfect shape or a fitness professional. We are all on a journey and being part of a community of people who are paying it forward and sharing what they’ve learned is the best thing ever. We walk together and support each other like a big family.
If you are a coach and you are struggling, know that it does get better, you just have to find your space and keep at it.
If you are not a coach and you’re interested in learning how to do what I am risk-free, message me or comment below! Here is a form you can complete to make it easier. https://stacyrody.wufoo.com/forms/join-my-mentorship-opportunity/
****Disclaimer — In no way does this reflect a “standard” or “actual” amount of money you will make. Each person will build their business different. Some will grow fast, some slow. Beachbody guarantees no promises of income and as an independent representative, I do the same. It is all up to you and how hard you work. This is a business, your own business and it takes work. As in anything worth having, it takes work. But, start up costs, things associated with most businesses….this one really is a lot more reasonable to get started. So, I show numbers for you to get an idea what has happened to “ME” by putting my focus on something I love and know others can benefit from. It is through transformations, the customers and a few of those people seeing this vision, that this is now my life! Thank you everyone that are part of my journey and thank you for allowing me to be part of yours! This is only one passive income idea.
