Spring Into Fitness With Support and Motivation From a Busy Woman Like You!!!

"Spring into Fitness" Challenge Group

Don't you know that summer bodies are made in the winter?  There is approximately 12 weeks until June.  The time when everyone is ready to go to the beach.  The stores are starting to put summer clothes out even though it's 30 degrees outside.  This is the sign that summer is coming and now is the time to start preparing.

Now, is the perfect time to start.  Every time you make a healthy choice you are closer to your summer body.  So, when you are ready to have a dessert, stop and think about that bathing suit you want to wear in June.  Think about it, 12 weeks is not a long time and it takes 21 days to create a new habit, 8 weeks to see change and 12 weeks for others to notice!! So, make the commitment now to start making progress toward June!!  If you wait until May, like I have in the past, it's too late and very frustrating and you will try unhealthy approaches to losing weight. Take ACTION today!

No Excuses November Challenge: Are you Ready? You are Invited

No Excuses November Challenge

4-Week Challenge Program full of Fitness, Nutrition & Support 

I have been working out with the 21 Day Fix Extreme for the past 3 weeks. I have made progress in my core strength, arm strength and definition. I feel that I could have done better nutrition wise. Honestly, I feel I have gradually backslid into old behaviors. I have allowed stress to take over causing stress eating...which is bad. In return I feel sluggish, fatigued and not motivated to eat the right food. Oh and sweets.... I LOVE THEM!!!!

After looking at my past post and pictures, I decided to get back on track.  Monday, I will start back on 21 Day Fix Extreme in preparation of for the upcoming Master Hammer and Chisel fitness program due in December.

My Personal Goals:

1. Read spiritual food daily.
2. Kick my sugar cravings
3. Take time to rest.
4. Consistent daily water intake (drink 1/2 of my body weight).

So, let’s keep each other accountable.  We are human and stress impacts everyone, more today than it did a year ago. When you eat better, your body feels better and the stress decreases. 

I am going to kick off the plan and prep week to my 4 week No Excuses November Challenge on Monday, November 9th.  This is a 4 week closed online support and accountability group.  

My goal is to teach you:

• how to meal plan
• how to make healthier, higher quality food choices, 
• help to manage cravings for sweets
• To deal with the temptations of winter comfort foods,
• How to handle eating out, eating while traveling and managing your diet when life throws issues our way!

Your First Week
I like to start out the first week of the challenge with no workouts and focus more on your mindset.  I want to help you set realistic and achievable goals for yourself, I want to teach you about nutrition and healthy choices, give you sample meal plans, snack ideas and more.  

Your Second Week
On the second week we start the workouts! You have the choice of any Team Beachbody Fitness Program; I will help you choose the one that is right for you based on your own fitness level and current needs. 

The 21 Day Fix s by far my favorite especially if you need a nutrition overhaul. Plus the workouts are great for beginners, as it provides modifications for each exercise based on your fitness level. 




  

I Become your Beachbody Coach supporting you all the way!

The next requirement is that I am your Team Coach! You get this FREE of charge! You will just need to create an account on my site. Then I would walk you trough the next steps to get started. 

Final Steps to Getting Started on Your Journey

Each person is required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the 4 weeks of the group. Here is why, Shakeology in not a protein shake, shakes like Slim Fast etc. don't compare. It's like equating apples to oranges. 

With Shakeology you get high quality ingredients that are not processed. There are no artificial sweeteners or flavorings and it helps you lose weight because it's portion controlled. 

Shakeology has the right carb to protein ration that your body needs to make up a complete meal. Any meal during the day can be replaced with Shakeology, not just breakfast.

My Suggestions for the Shakeology Beginner 

Choose the meal that you struggle with the most. Most days, my mornings are crazy getting ready for work and prepping my kids for school. So, breakfast is my struggle.

You don't have to commit to it forever, but give it 30 days, doing so will help make the transition to clean eating easier. It will help you get better results because your body is getting proper nutrition and can recover faster. At the end of the 4 weeks we will re-evaluate to see where to go from there!

Here is a guide for Weekly Meals to help maximize your results 

Here is How The Challenge Works

Each day you will log into the closed online accountability group.  There will be a daily post from me. The posts will have a tip on clean eating, a recipe or motivation.  Each person is required to check in each day and report their day for accountability purposes.

It is a safe place to come and know that you have people just like you to support you and help get you through obstacles that come with trying to reach your health and fitness goals.   If I can do it.  So can you!!!
