Good Finds

Hi guys!

I know it has been a long, long time since I posted some good finds.

Sorry about that but life has been so busy lately, but busy in a good way :)

Therefore I have tons of good finds to share with you this month.

The first good find I am sharing is my Beachbody coach Sara. 

A little information on Beachbody: The company was founded is 1998 out of Santa Monica, California. They are the creators of workout programs like P90X and INSANITY. Beachbody combines challenging DVD-based workouts with easy-to-follow diet guidelines and nutritional supplements. 

Anywho, when you order a workout program from Beachbody you are assigned a free fitness coach. I was looking for a program to supplement my P.I.N.K. Method program. 

I saw the commercial for Hip Hop Abs and thought it would be a great program for me.

Sara was not the fitness coach I was assigned.

After searching for a Beachbody facebook page I stumbled upon her page.

Luckily Beachbody give you the opportunity to switch your fitness coach at anytime free of charge.

I switched to Sara and have been dropping pounds ever since.

Here is the link for her website.

You will see she is a true inspiration going from a starting weight of 220 lbs down to 120 lbs!

After finishing the P.I.N.K. Method program I asked Sara for advice on choosing my next fitness program.

She told me she achieved most of her weight loss goals from a program called Les Mills Combat.

This program is a mixed martial arts workout program. You punch, kick, block, and strike your way to an outrageously shredded body with 7 calorie-blasting and muscle defining workouts. You do Karate/Kung Fu, Capoeire, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai/Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do and boxing all in a single workout--burning up to 1,000 calories per hour!

I also learned through my fitness coach that there is a company that will pay you for your clothes that no longer fit.

 ThredUp.com is a company that purchases gently used children & women's clothing. They will soon be purchasing men's clothing as well. You visit there website and request a complimentary closet clean out bag. Let me tell you from experience this is a huge bag! It holds tons and tons of clothes. The clean out bag comes with a prepaid shipping label. You can either drop your bag off at the post office or have it picked up from your front door by UPS.

In 5 to 7 days they will send you an e-mail telling you that your clean out bag was received.

In another week or so, they will send you an additional e-mail indicating the dollar amount you earned from the clothing you sent in.

Here is the link for the clean out bag:

Starbucks Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup was yet another recommendation from Sara.

This is a great replacement for unhealthy coffee creamer.

I go to the Starbucks at the mall and buy it directly from that store.

I use 6 pumps with a splash of non-fat milk in my large Tervis Tumbler coffee cup and it tastes just like it is from your barista.

I must tell you I am loving the results I am getting from Les Mills Combat.

It's so great to have a fitness program that you truly enjoy.

My hubby was so impressed with my results that he jumped on the Beachbody train and ordered our next program Focus T-25

Focus T-25 are fast-paced workouts that are jam packed with dynamic hi-intensity moves designed for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. The Hubby & I are truly excited to start this program. I plan on writing a blog post about my experience with this program.

My last good finds were found on YouTube.com

One day while searching for organizational videos I stumbled upon the following channels:
