Summer Strong Health and Fitness Challenge

Can you believe that summer is less than 8 weeks away???  That means that swimsuit season is RIGHT around the corner!  Are you READY for SUMMER??

Well, it will be here before you know it, so how are YOU getting prepared for summer?  Have you thought about it yet?  Remember, the work starts NOW, summer bodies are made in the winter (or spring!).  

Let me tell you, there is no secret to losing weight and getting in shape.  It's just good old-fashioned work - dialed in nutrition and exercise!  I like to add in some other things too!  If you're looking to have great success in your health and weight loss journey then here is my recipe for success!

First it all starts with YOU!  You first have to DECIDE...then it's all about YOUR COMMITMENT to your goal!  It has to be worth it enough to you to change...so are you committed?

Second is your NUTRITION!  You can't outwork a bad diet, so you have to be COMMITTED to your NUTRITION.

Third is your FITNESS!  No, you don't have to spend hours in the gym, it's as simple as an effective 30 minute workout that is a good fit for you and your goals!  (I can help you find that!)

Fourth is the SUPPORT!  Let's face it...changing your habits is hard, but not impossible.  However, it's SO much easier with a daily SUPPORT System, one that's there cheering you along every step of the way!

Does that sound like a good recipe for success?  

DECIDE & COMMIT + NUTRITION + FITNESS + SUPPORT = YOUR SUCCESS

So, are you ready for a change this summer?  Are you really ready to be serious and commit so that you can feel CONFIDENT and SEXY this summer?  

Then I'm ready to give you the SUPPORT to reach your goals!  Let's GO!!  If you're ready, then I'm accepting application into my SUMMER STRONG Health and Fitness Challenge!

This is for COMMITTED women ONLY who are ready to make a change!

Battle of the Bulge - Spring Health and Fitness Accountability

Spring is here and do you know what that means?  SUMMER is right around the corner!  Yep...bathing suits, beaches, pools, shorts, tank tops... All of that!

Well, I know sometimes it's easy to let winter go by and stay cuddled up because it's cold and a good excuse to allow the pounds to pack on!  Not that it's something we set out to do...but it just happens!!

If you're ready to get that winter layer off and feel confident for summer then NOW is your time to do that!  Seriously, it's March...by the time the kids are out of school by June, you'll want to be ready to feel good and be active!  That's a solid 2 months that you have to really be serious about getting back in shape!

There's nothing worse than not feeling confident in your skin when you're trying to have a great time with your kids at the pool!  I've been there for sure!  You know the times...you take off your coverup and still want to sit there "covered up"...yet at the same time try and keep convincing yourself that you feel great!  Ladies...now is the time!!

Starting on March 14th, we will begin our PREP WEEK for the Battle of the Bulge.

This will be a 30 day accountability and support group.  This is for people who are SERIOUS about getting their health and fitness back in shape!  It's not for anyone who isn't COMMITTED!!

21 Day Fix Extreme Week 1 Update and Review Plus New Meal Plan

I'm sorry, I know I'm a bit behind on getting this update to you!  So, I finished week ONE of the 21 Day Fix Extreme.  Let's just say, I WAS SORE LAST WEEK!!

I was so shocked how sore my muscles were last week.  I guess I forget that anytime I start a new workout, I get really sore.  My muscles get used to what I was doing and then when I change it up...Boom...they get confused and sore again.  But that's what makes them stronger!

Here was the schedule for my week and review of the workouts!

Monday:  Plyo Fix Extreme - Ok...My legs get nervous when I see the word PLYO.  So to be honest I was quite nervous about this workout.  It really pushes me out of my comfort zone and makes me work harder since plyometrics are not my go to exercise.  It wasn't my favorite of all the workouts, but I know it works my legs...my legs were definitely jello afterward!

Tuesday:  Upper Fix Extreme -  I LOVE doing arms.  I always have wanted really cut arms (I'm not there yet but working on it) and so arms days just really make me feel great!  She uses a "drop set" format with her exercise.  So, you'll do a heavier set of weights for the first 30 seconds and then drop to your lighter weights for the last 30 seconds.  By the end of the minute though you are ready to be done with that exercise.  I think it's a really great workout and YES...my arms were JELLO!!!

Wednesday:  Pilates Fix Extreme  - I'll be honest, I'm mot a huge fan of Mat Pilates, however, since Autumn adds in the Resistance Bands with this, it totally changes everything about this workout!  I REALLY like this Pilates workout, A LOT!!  It makes such a huge difference in level of workout you get when you add the bands in!  It's not boring and you come out feeling like you got a great Pilates workout!!

Thursday: Lower Fix Extreme  - UGH...I have a love/hate relationship with leg workouts.  Autumn LOVES leg days, which always scares me... I know they are the biggest muscle group so for that reason I like working them.  She actually breaks up this workout into manageable exercises.  What I DO like about it is that it's not just a "squat for a minute" type workout.  It's more interval-like where you'll squat with weights for 30 seconds and then the other 30 seconds you do squat jumps.  So each exercise is kind of broken up like that.  It makes the time go by faster and breaks up the monotony of just one exercise for a minute.

Friday: Cardio Fix Extreme - Ok...so, not the best workout for me on this day!  I am not sure what happened to me on cardio day, but I had a minor injury/irritation with the top of my foot.  Each time I bent my left foot, like standing in a high heel, then I would get this "bone pinch" type feeling.  It almost felt like the tiny little bones in the top of my foot felt twisted.  It would bring me almost to my knees when it would happen.  So, needless to say, I had to modify quite a bit on this one and my focus was more on my foot rather than the workout itself!

Saturday:  Dirty 30 Extreme - LOVE THIS WORKOUT!  Ok, honestly as I sit here and write about the Dirty 30 workout...I don't remember specifics of this workout other than the fact that going through it, I REALLY liked this workout!  It was fun, I felt like I got a great burn and it went by fast! Definitely a favorite!

Sunday:  Yoga Extreme - So, I go back and forth with liking yoga and not.  I think it just depends on my mood for that day.  I know that it's really great for stretching and balance, but sometimes I just don't feel it...I guess I was having one of those days.  There were parts of it that I really liked and I felt like I got a good stretch, but there were other parts that were a little too slow for me and I just wasn't able to get into the entire workout!  Just being honest!

So, those are my thoughts on the 7 days of workouts!  Overall, I really enjoyed last week!  I was SO super sore this week, I really didn't expect how sore I would be and how much it would be a shock to my muscles.

I'll continue week 2 as planned with all the workouts...I will be more focused on my nutrition.  I did a pretty good job overall on my nutrition.  I think there is definitely room for improvement on my end.  I did end up losing 2.5 lbs in the first week!  That was exciting!!!

PB & Strawberry Oatmeal - A Favorite 21 DFX Recipe

Here's my meal plan for this week.  I made some adjustments on when I eat particular things like my protein.  I found that when I had a snack with protein in the morning I was actually more hungry throughout the day.  So I have tried playing around with the time of day that I have certain food groups to see if that makes a difference in my hunger when I'm most likely to "crave" foods!!

PiYo Week 3 Update and Meal Plan

PiYo Week 3 is in the bag!  And...it's official.  I LOVE PIYO!!

This week I think was a turning point for me in my PiYo journey.  I not only have gotten stronger this week with the moves but I've grown more addicted to the way PiYo makes me feel and the way it's shaping my muscles.  My wrists have gotten stronger and more flexible, which if you have done any bit of PiYo you know that you are up in plank or some sort of plank a lot during PiYo.  Chalene always says that if your wrists hurt then they will get more flexible and strengthen during the program...it's true!!

In week 3 there are 2 new workouts that are introduced...and I really liked both of them!  

Buns:  Holy cow...I was so sore after this workout, it was tough but I KNOW it was working my legs and buns and it felt so good being sore like that!  So, Buns is definitely one of my favorite workouts!

Strength Intervals is the other new one this week...I really liked this one too.  This is more cardio than any of the workouts and you have your shoes on!  I was SO sweaty after this workout and another great one!

Here's what week 3 schedule looks like!

PiYo Week 3 Schedule

So I told you that I would keep you updated on my Sunday workouts...This past Sunday I was actually looking forward to working out, which usually I want my Sunday to be a rest day, but, that's why I said I turned a corner this week.  On Friday, my rest day, I REALLY needed a rest day.  So Sunday came around and it was a great workout!!  So, this is proof that if you stick to the program, it will change you!

This is what I'm eating this week!!  Now, things may change as we are getting ready for a move and trying to use up what we have in the fridge.

"Me Time" for MOMS Health & Fitness Challenge Group!!

I am a mom of 3 kids, ages 10, 9, and 6...I work full time and I'm a Beachbody Coach.  My day starts at 5 am and usually doesn't end until 10 pm or after...it's full of homework, errands, housework, chores, dinner, sports for kids and anything else thrown in there. 

I'm sure all moms feel this way too.  Busy, busy, busy and not enough time for yourself in the day, am I right?  (Let's face it…I can say ALL WOMEN, not just moms!).  We are more than willing to help out anyone else and the needs they have, but when it comes to "me time" so often, we don't set aside that time!  

Well, that must change. The reality of this is, most often, we are the ones who are leading the way of taking care of our children and their health day in day out. However, how do we expect to be the healthy examples in our family if we don't take the time to take care of ourselves?

The truth...it STARTS with us MOMS!!  We need to be the example to our children on how to live healthy and active lives. No one else is going to do that for us!  It falls upon our shoulders. Wow!!  What a great responsibility and amazing opportunity we have. Think about what a gift we could give to our children to teach them how to live healthy lives. Teach them how to eat healthy and to lead by example of adult exercise and activity. 

Could you imagine the impact that would have on your children and future generations?  It's endless and a priceless gift!
