What a Year! The BEST is yet to come!!

Up early on this New Years Eve because I just can't sleep.  I am so freaking excited, as I woke up this morning and my team, team Goal Diggers, has qualified for Elite Status within a huge Beachbody organization!!  We are going to end up right around being in the top 100 teams out of 400k, I am just so amazed that they call this work, because for me it is so much fun!!

I had big goals this year which I didn't even come to realize until I was at Summit in June and decided pedal to the medal, let's make this happen.  I was sitting in the audience watching elite coach after elite coach walk across the stage, when I realized they are no different than me, if they can do this so can I, I WILL be on that stage next year.  I am surrounded by some of the most determined and fierce coaches on my team that jumped on board and that's exactly what we did, we made it happen!!!  A year ago when I was doubting myself, doubting my journey, and doubting my priorities...I would have NEVER guessed this is where I would be sitting today!

My fitness journey is just that,  it's a journey.  Did I reach my weight goals in 2015, not quite, but I am even more focused and committed to them in 2016 and have a foundation of a healthy lifestyle that I worked really hard on developing throughout this year.  I have even bigger goals for 2016 for me and my family on our lifestyle journey and just can't wait to see where it takes us!!

My business goals, wow!!!  Blew those out of the water!!  My mind is blown right now and I have no words.  In June at Summit, I set a goal to be an Elite, Top 100 team.  We will be Elite but where we end up on the rank I am not sure yet.  My goal was 5 stars as that's what it took for Elite and we are currently 6 stars with so many other coaches about to break Diamond!  Last year at this time I was making enough to pay some of our household bills.  In 2015 we paid off one of our cars, fully paid for a trip to Disney, maxed out on College Fund contribution and am able to pay all of our household bills/mortgage/and some extras just because I said YES to taking a chance and seeing what the hype is all about.  Money isn't the thing that drives me though, Eric and I both have great full time careers, it's the people on this team and the challengers I work with on a daily basis that make me pop out of bed in the morning.

My TEAM is incredible.  And that includes all of the clients and challengers we are helping along the way.  These men and women are supportive, they are fun, they are motivational, they pick you up when you're down, they share other ideas, they CHEER for YOU and they want you to succeed, they are what life is all about.  Life is to short to live it any other way!!!

I am opening a New Coach Training Academy where I will take 5 individuals who are ready to make a change in their life.  Whether it's physical, financial, emotional, I have a solution for you and will mentor you every step of the way!  TOMORROW is the first day of a brand new book, a blank page ready for you to write, a clean slate to forget and change up anything previous, and an opportunity of a lifetime to be surrounded by the people who encourage you to DREAM BIG, chase crazy goals, and have a blast doing it together.

New Year New You - Let's get it done!!!

It's that time of the year, New Years Resolutions, and I am willing to bet that if you are reading this you are looking to make a change in your health and fitness lifestyle in 2016?  Am I right?  I know just how you feel, I was there 2 years ago!!  We started 2014 off with T25 and haven't looked back since.

2016 is right around the corner, a fresh slate, a clear road to wherever it is that you want to go!!  I am launching my best accountability group yet.  The pre-game, prep week will start on Wednesday and the workouts officially start on January 4th!  I will help you match a fitness program to you goals and current fitness level, let's take it up a notch and challenge ourselves.

This group will be a select group of motivated people who are READY to make a change.  If you invest in a program, I will stick with you to the end!  There is no looking back!  It's time to say HELLO 2016 let's rock this, you in??

A few House Rules to be in the Group:

1. I must be your Team Beachbody Coach.  If you already have a coach or are a coach, please contact your coach for their next group.

2. You must commit to a fitness program and to replacing one meal a day with Shakeology for the entire 6 weeks.

3. You must actively participate in the group page.  Teamwork makes the Dream work and no one can do this alone!

4. You must have a stronger desire to change than to stay the same and be ready and willing to share your journey with the rest of the group!!!

A Taste of Awesome - Some of My Favorites

Shakeology has come to be my go to breakfast for 2 years now!  I am a working mom, trying to get two kids and myself out the door in the morning doesn't leave much time, so for years I skipped breakfast or even worse would grab something from the kitchen at work - pop tarts etc.  When we found Shakeology we fell in love.  It was easy, fast, and the healthiest meal of the day.  Eric and I have had some great success with weight loss and controlling our sweet tooth and have also had incredible results with cholesterol!!  I was 6 months away from having to go on medicine and was able to lower it myself with Shakeology and healthy food choices.  I truly believe in the product and love sharing it with others.  When anyone tries Shakeology from me I always give them my favorite recipe sheet!

YOU READY?!

Hi! I'm Brooke!

Thanks for stopping bye!

I am Brooke King, a health and fitness coach on a health and fitness journey.  I grew up playing sports at the highest levels and never had to worry about my weight, although I was never "skinny."  Went off to college and was a party girl, gained the freshmen 15 plus some, continued with the party life style after college, moved to suburbia, got married, and had my babies.  I was the queen of the yo-yo diet for as long as I can remember.  If it existed I tried it and usually had pretty good success.  See I am pretty damn stubborn so when I set my mind to something I will usually be successful.  The South Beach Diet, Adkins, Weight Watcher, diet pills, you name it! When I got pregnant with my son I actually lost weight because I had to put the wine down ha!  Shortly after he arrived I was pregnant with number 2!  Two C-sections later I had a lot of leftovers.  Unfortunately for me I am not one of those women that came out of the hospital in my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans, quite the opposite and the C-sections didn't help.  After my daughter was born I was feeling awful about myself and the way I looked.  Someone that was usually strong, and fun, and confident was everything but.  I was sad and depressed and took everything as a direct insult to me.  My husband ordered T25, when he told me I got pissed he just spent another cent on home videos, we already had a bunch, but he assured me T25 was the hottest thing on the market right now.  January 2014 we kicked off the new year doing the program together in the basement every morning.  Day 1 I completely fell in love with Shaun T, then I found out he had a husband, talk about bummer haha!!  But he is the best trainer I have ever seen or touched (yup at Summit '15) ever.  It's like he was in our basement with us, motivating the shit outta me to do this workout, and by the time I was done with my excuses it was over and I felt awesome the rest of the day!!  Together Eric and I lost a combined 33 pounds before we went to Mexico that March!!  It's really true that once you see results you become addicted.

Upon our return from Mexico the 21 day fix was being launched and I was feeling so monnnnay from T25 I made the decision to become a coach and share my journey with the world in hopes of inspiring other momma's that might be able to relate to my situation.  My first round with the 21 day fix was April 2014 and my life was forever changed.  All because of these cute little containers I got my life back!  I lost 12lbs and 14.5 inches in my first round of the 21 day fix, with my first ever challenge group of friends doing it with, and never turned back.  The accountability of a coach is what keeps me focused.  Sure I fall off but I have my network to bring me back!

I am loving this journey, the people I have met and helped along the way, and the new lifestyle my family is living.  If you are interested in joining me, PLEASE DO!  You won't regret it and in fact I am pretty much guarantee you'll be in love too!!
