In honor of our great country to the north and the amazing friends I have living there (as well as those who will soon be my friends), I would like to wish you all a Happy Canada Day!

I honor your great country with a toast of Chocolate Shakeology and a huge smile in my heart!

And for those Canadian die hard Beachbody fans…thanks for keeping the faith, bringing it to the max, and most of all, for sharing and motivating others around the world to do the same!

Oh, take me out to the ball game! Get, my gut full of flab! Buy me this burger and Rolaids cuz I’m gonna fat!

Yeah, you are about to see the new rollout for the 2009 season at this baseball concession stand. Bring on the 4800 calories. I hope they give out ketchup packets!

Obviously this ball park doesn’t want any fans next season as they are grilling up a major heart attack inducer!

See video below!

According to a few news articles here’s what the president had to say. “We always try to come up with something new and innovative,” Whitecaps president Scott Lane said. “We believe it’s very important to the overall experience.”

Here’s what the mlive article had to say on the stats:
Here’s what fans can expect from the Fifth Third Burger:

Start with an 8-inch sesame seed bun that requires 1 pound of dough and is made specially for the Whitecaps by Nantucket Baking Co. of Grand Rapids.

Rex Larsen | The Grand Rapids Press
Todd Guyer, food and beverage manager for the West Michigan Whitecaps, adds a layer of Fritos to the Fifth Third Burger.
Spoon on nearly a cup of chili and place five one-third pound hamburger patties on top of that. (Get it, 5/3 pounds of beef for the Fifth Third Burger?)

Add five slices of American cheese and liberal doses of salsa, nacho cheese and Fritos. Top it off with lettuce, tomato and sour cream, and you have a burger that can be sliced with a pizza cutter and feed four people for $20. Jalapenos are optional.

If a single person can consume the entire 4-pound finished product in one sitting, the team plans to give him or her a special T-shirt.

Uh… yeah. Can I go puke now?

This past April 13 marked 6 years since I started my journey to health and fitness. I actually started one year previously when I bought Power 90 of an infomercial at 4:30 in the morning. But I failed miserably as I tried to do the program on my own terms. So, the videos collected dust until I grew another jean size.

Fast forward to today, May 15, 2009 and I am BLOWN AWAY at what I have achieved using Beachbody workouts, supplements and online community support tools.

Last week Beachbody celebrated their 10th year Anniversary. So, I feel I discovered them in their infancy. My how this company has listened to the customer and developed amazing programs and products like Hip Hop Abs, Slim in Six, P90X, Turbo Jam, Yoga Booty Ballet, Chalean Extreme, Insanity and Shakeology. Each revolutionary in their own special way.

Two of the products mentioned above I have never done. Insanity hasn’t yet hit the market and Yogo Booty Ballet just doesn’t appeal to my inner Goddess.

That being said, I want to thank all the amazing people at Beachbody and incredible trainers who have made it possible for me to walk with confidence and happiness. Now I am able to help others to adopt a health lifestyle through the Beachbody Coaching program. This lets someone like me earn a brilliant supplemental income without needing any special certification. All I gotta do is share my story. I proudly do.

Thanks Beachbody and Happy Anniversary!

Of course it isn’t always possible to book an appointment with The Man.

Does time really fly when you’re having fun? Well, I know it sure does when you’re confusing your muscles. Check that. While it seems like P90X time stands still when you just start a fitness program like P90X, it’s amazing how the “quality of life” changes during that time. Once you reach your goals, time seems to fly again because ANYTHING is possible!

I have to give my “honest” assessment. Shakeology rules! I made a discovery while on a trip to Cabo!!! Making an amazing tasting meal replacement shake. I just made a podcast on how to make a Banana Split Shakeology. You can view this great treat at:

Here’s the recipe:

8 oz water (or soy milk or skim milk)
1 ripe banana
2 large frozen strawberries
2 fresh pineapple rings (or chunked pineapple)
1 scoop chocolate shakeology
1 scoop ice
