ASYLUM-30 DAYS TO A BETTER BODY!

ASYLUM-Release your inner athlete!

What is this Beachbody thing anyway?

I'm going to just say it right off the bat and get it over with...MLM, Network marketing.  AAAACK, such dirty words which many people run from the moment they hear them.  Hey, I do, why shouldn't you?  But, if you'll take a minute to read on I'd like to share the other side of those nasty, pushy, not well-liked terms...read on.

Yes, Beachbody does offer a network marketing business.  But WAIT.  Before you quit reading, please give me a minute.  Like many I personally HATE so called mlm's and network marketers. They always seem to be pushy people who don't give a crap about me and just want to force me into buying something I don't need so they can meet your quota.  News flash:  BEACHBODY IS NOT LIKE THAT!  And, that's the only reason I got involved.  I saw that they work very hard NOT to be those icky, pushy people.  They actually care about people and have a simple mission to help people reach their goals and enjoy a healthy, fulfilling life.  Hmmmm....

So, we're in the middle of this obesity epidemic in the U.S. and that is a terrible thing.  People are sick and dying way earlier than they should and most of that can be prevented and even reversed.  But how?  Beachbody doesn't believe in wacky diets, gimmick machines or magic pills.  We simply provide the tools to teach people how to exercise and eat properly, that's it.  We strive to get healthy in our own personal lives and then help others do the same by sharing our experience.  What's so icky about that?  Well, nothing!

Here's an example of how it works:  Let's say you have a favorite restaraunt and you tell you friend to go eat there.  Your friend does and enjoys a great meal and they tell their friend, who then go there also.  Do you get a check in the mail from the restaraunt thanking you for the referral and giving you a cut of the tab?  NO.  But, that's exactly what Beachbody does do.  There are tons, well actually, thousands of people out there using Beachbody products such as P90X and talking about it.  If you're not a Coach but have used their products, have you ever told someone about it?  Most likely you have!  Did that person go and buy it?  Perhaps!  If you're doing this already, then you are a Coach but you're just not getting paid for it.

Basically, we share our experience, help others select a program that will work for them, and earn commission off those sales.  We do not force anyone to do anything.  So, is Beachbody an MLM or Network Marketing company? Yes, but we like to think of ourselves as a "Hybrid Network Marketing Company".  We do things differently and want to keep it that way.  Getting past the MLM stigma is probably the hardest thing I do as a Coach although I do understand why people have that idea in their mind.  Personally, I still hate other MLM's and still view them as pushy, insensitive people who I want to run from.  Until they change their approach I will continue to feel that way.  BUT, I encourage you to open your mind to the fact that not every company is like that and I'm proud to say that I am a part of Beachbody.  It's about building relationships with people...not destroying them.  It's about helping people...not just helping myself.  The income is just a bonus but it's not the heart of the company.

If you would like to learn more about what makes Beachbody different, I'd love to talk to you.  This may be something that is right for you....or maybe it's not.  Either way, it's OK!   We have a huge problem in our country and want to simply do what we can to help reverse that and get people living healthier so our kids and grandkids can enjoy long, healthy lives too.  It's not all about us and shouldn't be!

'Tis the Season to Have Cocktails: 8 Lower-Calorie Drinks to Enjoy

by Stephanie S. Saunders

Who doesn't like a good cocktail during the holidays? Sure, spending 3 days straight with your extended family might have something to do with it, but beside that, almost everyone likes to let loose at this time of year. And there are plenty of occasions to do so. From the office holiday party, to the lighting of the menorah, to the various "Eve" and "Morning" festivities, there's no shortage of celebrations in which to involve libations.
Unfortunately, most holiday cocktails tend to give the gifts of too much fat and too many calories. One cup of eggnog has 343 calories and 19 grams of fat (see this week's recipe below for a lighter version)! It's a meal in a cup, with a ton of added fat and sugar. Then, there are the hot chocolates, mulled ciders, and traditional grogs that chase away the winter chill but help hold on the pounds. And we can't forget about all of the themed mixed drinks that make every party a bit more fun, and our waistlines a bit more full. So how do we enjoy the fun of the holiday season without having to hide behind bulky sweaters till July? Here are 8 fun drink ideas that are lower in fat, calories, and sugar than their original versions.


Pumpkin Pie Martini
Yeah, I know. It's as good as it sounds. There are several pumpkin liqueurs on the market, which are convenient, but add a ton of calories. By using the actual squash, you get the flavor without the calories—and, believe it or not, a little fiber in your drink.

6 oz. canned unsweetened pumpkin

6 oz. vanilla-flavored vodka
4 oz. fat-free condensed milk
4 oz. unsweetened almond milk (or fat-free milk)
4 Tbsp. pumpkin pie seasoning
Ice cubes
6 crushed reduced-fat vanilla wafers


Place vodka and pumpkin in bowl, and stir until pumpkin has melted. Stir in condensed milk and almond milk. Add seasoning. Dip rim of glass in crushed vanilla wafers. Pour liquid over ice into glass and enjoy. Serves 6.

Grog
Its rich history dates back 400 years, when it used to be rationed out to sailors at sea. The big babies wouldn't drink their scurvy-preventing dose of lemon juice straight, so the powers-that-be dressed it up with a little rum. Since the added ingredients only serve to make it that much tastier, it stands to reason that being "three sheets to the wind" was fairly common.
Juice of 2 lemons
1 lemon peel
4 Tbsp. of sugar
4 whole cloves
1 whole orange peel
4 oz. golden rum
10 oz. water
4 cinnamon sticks

In a pan, combine the lemon juice and peel with the sugar, cloves, orange peel, cinnamon sticks, and water. Let simmer for 15 minutes, and then slowly stir in rum. Pour though a fine strainer into mugs, and serve each mug with a cinnamon stick. Serves 4.

Gingerbread Toddy
In cold weather, a hot drink can warm you up faster than a Snuggie® and an electric blanket. This hot toddy will get you warm, and make you think you are eating gingerbread cookies in the process. Yummy.

1 oz. brandy
1 oz. gingerbread liqueur
1 lemon wedge
8 oz. hot water
cinnamon stick (optional)


Pour ingredients into a preheated mug in the order listed. Serve garnished with a cinnamon stick to stir. Serves 1.

Holiday Hot Chocolate
You can do this the easy way and buy no-sugar-added hot chocolate in packages. But you're no slacker. You can make homemade hot chocolate, which makes your house smell amazing, and impresses your friends and family.

4 cups evaporated fat-free milk
1 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup baking chocolate
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar, or natural sugar substitute, like agave
6 oz. Frangelico® liqueur

Combine evaporated milk, fat-free milk, chocolate, vanilla, and sugar in pan and heat over stove on low. Stir in Frangelico. Pour into mugs and serve with a small candy cane. Serves 6.

Nutritional Information (per serving)
Calories Protein Fiber Carbs Fat Total Saturated Fat

Peppermint Martini
This is, perhaps, the simplest and tastiest low-calorie cocktail out there. Just three ingredients and a bit of candy cane. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

9 oz. vanilla vodka
9 oz. peppermint schnapps
3 oz. fat-free condensed milk
Ice
Mini candy canes


Place all liquids in a martini shaker with ice. Shake and pour into glasses. Serve with a candy cane. Serves 6.

Mulled Apple Cider
Nothing makes a house smell more like Christmas than some mulled apple cider—except those overpriced candles that they constantly advertise on TV. And this tastes better, so take that, Glade®!

8 cups apple cider
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
10 whole cloves
1 navel orange, peeled and sliced crosswise
A 2-inch piece of peeled fresh ginger, cut into 6 slices
4 oz. light brandy


In a large saucepan, combine cider, cinnamon stick, cloves, orange and ginger, and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes. Pour brandy into pan. Strain through a fine strainer into a heatproof pitcher, and serve the mulled cider warm. Serves 6.

Blitzen's Bliss
Given Blitzen is the final reindeer in the lineup, he probably gets knocked around a fair bit by the sleigh over the course of Christmas Eve. But once he has circumvented the globe, he comes home, has a few of these, and it's all good. Not only does he feel better, but since they're just 130 calories apiece, he doesn't feel all bloated for his Christmas dinner the next day.

2 cups pomegranate juice
Juice of two limes
8 oz. vodka
1 tsp. peppermint extract
12 ice cubes
6 mini candy canes
4 tablespoons chopped mint


Place all liquids in shaker with ice. Shake and pour into individual glasses. Top with sprinkle of mint and candy cane. Serves 6.

Sangria for Santa
Santa really appreciates the cookies and milk. But after hundreds of years, he's over it. Want to be on the "nice" list next year? Then get a little naughty. Leave some sangria for Santa by the fireplace.

10 green grapes, halved
4 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 peach, pitted and sliced
1 bottle of white or red wine
1-1/2 cups white grape juice
1/2 cup brandy
2 sprigs fresh mint


Fill a large glass pitcher halfway with ice; add fruit and wine. Add juice and brandy; stir gently. Stir in mint. Let sit in refrigerator for 2 hours before serving. Serves 6.

Nutritional Information (per serving)
Calories Protein Fiber Carbs Fat Total Saturated Fat

So if this holiday season finds you having a "cup of cheer," at least you can enjoy it and not have to wear your Santa outfit for the month of January. Happy Holidays!

Low-Fat Holiday Eggnog
Want to serve something festive that won't have you looking like Santa in the New Year? P90X nutritionist Carrie Wiatt's twist on this holiday favorite has a great carb-protein-fat ratio that'll help you stay healthy for the holidays.

4 cups skim milk
12 oz. evaporated skim milk
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Ground nutmeg

Chill 6 oz. of the evaporated milk in the freezer for 30 minutes so it will whip better. In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together skim milk, remaining 6 oz. of evaporated milk, eggs, and sugar. Rinse your whisk in hot water to ensure that no bacteria from the egg remain. Once you've done that, use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture on the stove constantly for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. (Do NOT boil.) Remove pan from heat; transfer mixture to a large bowl.and let it cool for several minutes. Place chilled evaporated milk and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk together until slightly thickened. Add it to the egg mixture and whisk for a few minutes more, until frothy. Refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours. If the eggs begin to coagulate, you can strain the mixture to remove the solids. Top with ground nutmeg before serving. You may substitute 1/2 cup of rum or brandy for vanilla. Makes 12 servings.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes (mixing), 4 hours and 30 minutes to 24 hours (prechilling)

Why I love Beachbody...

About a year ago I was introduced to the Beachbody Business Opportunity after I had been doing P90X for about 2 months. I have always been one to run as fast as possible in the opposite direction when presented with anything involved with a "Network Marketing Company" or "Multi-Level Marketing". To me, these companies were full of pushy, aggressive people who didn't care about me but were solely focused on meeting their quota's and signing up as many people as possible to benefit themselves. That's not how I work. I have owned/operated my own landscaping company since 1996 and one of the things that has made that business successful is the personal relationship I develope with my clients. I treat my clients as though they were my friend, neighbor or family member and I am sure that my few employees also do the same. We know them by first name and we also know thier pets! The business is based on a relationship as well as solid knowlege and quality work...and it works! When I found out that Beachbody was "one of those" NWM or MLM companies I was hesitant, but I listened anyway. My husband had done a little network marketing in the past so he understood the terms and process. He looked at the comp. plan and told me this one looked different, so we set up an appointment to meet with a local coach and learn more. One of the first things our Coach told us is that he didn't want it to be "icky" and that the business was based on forming relationships with people and offering our support, help and friendship to help people be successful with thier health, fitness, and financial goals. Now that sounded like something I could possibly do since that's already how I have run my landscaping company. Relationships are key! The other key things I learned about why Beachbody was different from "those other companies" were that you don't have to buy inventory and you don't have to invest in a bunch of product or start-up cost just to begin the business. Many other MLM companies out there require hundreds to thousands of dollars just to get your foot in the door and then you have to do hundreds more every month just to get by. With Beachbody that's not the case! Start up is cheap and you don't touch any inventory or products for your clients. You simply purchase a small amount that you can use up every month and that's it! I was already spending plenty of money each month for my own supplements, protein powders and a gym membership....hundreds of dollars each month. NOW, I could spend way less than that, work out in my own home and purchase my supplements from my own company and get 25% off...not bad! The other thing is that qualified Coaches are GIVEN PAYING CUSTOMERS from the Beachbody infomercials! WHAT!!!??? Beachbody gets 15-30 THOUSAND NEW CUSTOMERS EVERY WEEK just from infomercial sales and most of those new customers are placed with Beachbody Coaches for FREE support. Those coaches then earn commission off that customer's future orders...again...not a bad deal! In fact, a really good deal! The number of customers varies throughout the year, but since Jan. 1st of this year I have received nearly 1 new customer each day GIVEN to me from Beachbody. Now, I've been in the landscaping business for 14 years and I know I don't get new customers in that fast! SO, here I am about a year after deciding to join as a Beachbody Coach and I'm thrilled! I've personally met with some of Beachbody's corporate staff including CEO Carl Daikeler, Larry Zimburg, Brett Blake and I've worked out in person with Tony Horton (P90X). I truely believe in this company's heart, mission and goals. They really do care about their customers and coach network and I see it over and over again in the things they are doing, producing and offering. If you're like me and have been scared off my other network or multi-level marketing companies, I completely understand. Heck, all "those other guys" still scare me! I would however encourage you to just look and listen to what Beachbody offers. Don't put it down or scratch it off your list until you've at least given us the time to show it to you. If it sounds like something that you would like to be involved with, GREAT! If it's not, GREAT! I'm just excited and would love the opportunity to share it with you and get your opinion. You're welcome to call or email me anytime with quesitons or if you would like to set up a time to meet in person or on the phone and talk about it. Email me at: Kristin@Lift-Fit.com or call me at: 402.404.LIFT (5438). Have a great day!
