'What's In It'? Wednesday - The Healthiest Meal of the Day - Shakeology has over 70 vitamins, nutrients and super foods...what are they and what do they do?, www.HealthyFitFocused.com Julie Little


'What's In It'? Wednesday

So...today I'm super excited to introduce to you something NEW!! I've been drinking Shakeology for over 2 years now...I LOVE the energy it gives me, how it cuts my cravings, helps boost my immune system and how it just makes me feel really good!

Shakeology is loaded with over 70 vitamins, nutrients and super foods with crazy names! So...I wanted to dig deeper and really LEARN what these crazy names are, what they do, WHY they're super foods and HOW it can benefit YOU! So we will go on a journey of learning every Wednesday together and learn more about what's in this amazing Super Food Shake, Shakeology!!

Today's lesson: Ashwagandha (say that 5 times fast!!).

This is just ONE ingredient of Shakeology! Check out the benefits of this powerful Adaptogen. (Adaptogens are really great!! They help improve your body's ability to adapt to stress...A.K.A MOM'S NEED THIS!!!) Check out some of the other benefits!! (and there are so many more if you want to dig deeper and check those out, I didn't list everything!)

I was also super excited to see that it helps balance hormones and balance thyroid! I have a slightly low thyroid and it's awesome that my daily dose of Shakeology can help support that! Check out more detailed info here about Ashwagandha and thyroid support.

Here are some of the benefits to this amazing adaptogen:

Ok, so I'm not a truly fancy workout dresser...I definitely have my favorite things I wear or use each day, but I also have my favorite "dreamer" items...these are things that I'll be adding to my collection hopefully sooner rather than later!  SO...I wanted to share some of my favorites with you!!

1)  iPhone
2)  Heart Rate Monitor
3)  VS Crop Pants & VS Shorts
4)  VS Sports Bra
5)  Nike Shoes
6)  Headbands
7)  Energy & Endurance
8)  Beachbody Jump Mat
9) Select Tech Weights (don't have these yet but really want them!)
10)  My after workout treat...SHAKEOLOGY

My iPhone!!  This is how I wake up every morning...I set an alarm and it says GET YOUR BUTT UP!!  It is an appointment that I have set every single morning, and I really hate missing appointments!!

Victoria's Secret has some awesome sports clothing that is very reasonably priced and I think good quality!  Now it's not your Lululemon but it's also 1/2 the price!  :)

I love their crop pants and their Knockout shorts!  Super comfortable and not see thru!!! ;)

VS also has awesome Sports Bras...they are comfy and give good support as I'm doing all the Burpees that Beachbody workouts LOVE!!

My top 10 Favorite Workout Items!  www.HealthyFitFocused.com, Julie Little, workout from home, Victoria's Secret Sports Bra


My Nike shoes need some replacing...but I love the fun colors they have and they're light, comfortable and offer good support for the cross training programs I do.  It's important to NOT wear a running shoe when you're doing Beachbody programs because there's not enough of the proper support and it's easy to roll your ankle.

And...my Polar F7 Heart Rate monitor...helps me know I'm "in zone" during my workouts!!

Headbands...gotta have my hair back when I'm working out!!

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!

I have no idea where the year has gone already.  We are close to half way through March...We've already had daylight savings and it's staying light longer, which means...Soon it will be SUMMER!!  The countdown is ON!!  There are roughly 12 more weeks until June 1st!  While that may seem like a lot, you KNOW it will fly by so fast and then all of a sudden you'll start to wonder where 2015 has gone and how it became summer already!

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group


So in light of the fact that June is right around the corner, it's time to do some dirty work!  I don't know about you...but it's easy to settle into the "winter body" a little too much.  Even though I live in Southern California, I love to wear cozy clothes and bundle up (yes, I'm a wimp, I bundle up when it's 55 degrees outside)!!  But...I too, can fall into that winter body trap!

Well...the time is NOW to get up off your rear and start getting that body of yours ready for summer!
I know I'm getting more serious about my nutrition to make sure I'm ready to sport the bikini and shorts all summer long.

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group


Here's the deal.

  • It takes 21 Days to create HABIT and for YOU to see your body change.
  • It takes 8 weeks for your friends and family to see a change.
  • It takes 12 weeks for everyone else to see a change.

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group

12 weeks...Just in time for June 1st, tank tops, shorts, swimsuits!!  Are you ready to change or are you wanting to stay the same?

What's it going to take for you to get up and decide to make that change?  Have you tried on your shorts or bathing suit yet?  Or, are you afraid to?

I totally get it...I'm a busy mom of 3 kids.  I can easily use the excuse that my kids take up all my time to be able to focus on ME.  We've got soccer games galore, swim practice, basketball, school and church functions.  The whole shebang!!  But, you will thank yourself come summer if you take time out now to focus on you!

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group

My goal is to HELP as many BUSY WOMEN as I can to give you the support and motivation to get you through these next 12 weeks so that when short and swimsuit season comes around, you are feeling confident and proud of your accomplishments!!  WHY NOT allow yourself to be happy and confident this summer and play outside in your shorts or suit with your kids!?!

On March 16th, I'll be kicking off my 
BUSY WOMEN Get Ready for Summer health/fitness Support and Accountability group!


This will be a group specifically for those who are ready to make a change and commit to their success!

Tell Me What's Required!!

Summer Bodies are Made in the Winter - Support and Accountability for Busy Women!!, www.HealthyFitFocused.com , 21 Day Fix Accountability Group

  • In return:  You will receive guided support, accountability, daily tips and motivation to help get you through the next 21 Days of this program.  My goal is to help you not only give you the tools to get started with your health and fitness journey, but to actually give you the support and motivation that will help you actually START!!  I don't want this to just sit in the closet collecting dust.  I want you to be use it, 30 minutes a day, in the comfort of your own home (no need to go to the gym and waste time unsure of what to do).  You commit and I won't let you fail!!


That's the plan...now are you ready to commit?

21 Day Fix Approved CHOCOLATE!!

Who said you couldn't have chocolate on the 21 Day Fix Extreme??  Well, technically, Autumn Calabrese did...BUT...this kind of chocolate is A-OK!!


21 Day Fix Approved Chocolate Bar, Clean Eating Chocolate, Shakeology Chocolate Bar, www.HealthyFitFocused.com

So, I got this recipe from my friend Melanie Mitro.  She posted it yesterday on Facebook and I decided trying this was a MUST!!  It's super easy, and approved on the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme.

21 Day Fix Approved Chocolate Bar, Clean Eating Chocolate, Shakeology Chocolate Bar, www.HealthyFitFocused.com I was kind of wondering what it would be like and if it could really do the trick for a "chocolate fix" (no pun intended)...but, OMG...this stuff is crazy good!!!  It almost didn't make it to the freezer!!

Here's the recipe:

  • 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology  - 1 RED CONTAINER
  • 1 TBSP Coconut Oil (melted for about 30 seconds) - 2.5 TEASPOONS 

Stir it together and spread on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and freeze it for 20-30 minutes.  I got a rolling pin out and placed parchment paper on the top also and rolled it out (a little OCD there, but that's ok)...

You could even doctor this up a bit by adding PB2, slivered almonds, shredded coconut, or really anything else you want!!  (You just have to make sure you add in these "extras" with your colored containers and count them for the day)

Ok...so there is ONE more "option" that I have not tried yet...but I am definitely going to try this out too.  This recipe is from another coach who tried this.

21 Day Fix Approved Chocolate Bar, Clean Eating Chocolate, Shakeology Chocolate Bar, www.HealthyFitFocused.com

• 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

• 1 tsp coconut oil
• about 1 tablespoon water
• splash of vanilla extract


Freeze for 20-30 minutes (this comes out more "fudge-like")
Top with Himalayan salt

How to Build a Business as a Busy Mom!


How to Build a Business as a Busy Mom, New Coach Training, Build a Business From Home, www.HealthyFitFocused.com
I'm looking for 5 Busy Moms!!!

Could you even IMAGINE adding "just one more thing" to your plate?

At the same time...maybe you're thinking, "there's got to be something MORE out there for me on a day to day basis...more than just the mundane things I do everyday!"

How to Build a Business as a Busy Mom, New Coach Training, Build a Business From Home, www.HealthyFitFocused.com
Busy Moms Wanted!!
Moms...have you ever felt that way? I know I had MANY of those thoughts all the time. I used to think it was bad to want something "more" in my life. Something to call my own...And I realized that it was OK to think that way...it does't make you ANY LESS of a mom!!! Did you hear me? IT IS OK if you desire MORE out of your life, if you want to find your calling or purpose as a woman, wife, mom, friend!

Yes, I'm a mom...I knew God created me to be a wife and a mom first and foremost...but at the same time I knew I had a calling to be something MORE in addition to those things! Something that gave me great joy and purpose outside of being a wife and a mom. (remember...this is OK! You are NOT a bad mom if you want interests outside of your kids or family!).

So, BUSY MOMS, I invite you to allow yourself to dream a bit. Would you allow me the opportunity to tell you how I found my calling/purpose in something outside of my family (yet they are the reason I succeed, so they are still a HUGE part of this!!). I invite you to be a part of my expanding team of amazing women and moms alike!

On March 2nd, I am starting Ignite Your Life Coach Mentoring for BUSY MOMS!! This is going to be for 5 busy moms who are wanting a change but just don't know what to do!! Over the next 30 days we will walk through what it means to be a Beachbody coach and HOW you can make an impact on the lives of others and build a successful business EVEN when you're a BUSY MOM!! Are you ready? Let's get started!!

You'll receive: 

  • 1:1 Training & Mentoring from ME...a BUSY MOM too!
  • Access to Top Coach's Resources
  • Power Hour & To-Do List
  • Step by Step Training - How to build a business from your kitchen table!!
  • Weekly Calls

Healthy TIPS: How to Survive Halloween

Halloween is only 5 days away!  F-I-V-E!  If you're anything like me, you know Halloween comes with temptation after sweet temptation!  I see the candy stacked in the stores and it makes me cringe knowing that my kids are going to be bringing that stuff home soon!  Thinking of the times when I've fallen victim to MY OWN poor choices of thinking "I'm just going to have ONE mini candy bar"...12 "mini" candy bars later.  Can you relate?  The "Candy Hangover"?  The one that keeps you in your yoga pants on November 1st instead of your skinny jeans?  The one that leaves you saying, "ugh, I don't feel too good!"

Healthy TIPS: How to Survive Halloween


Well...it can be different this year.  You don't have to feel defeated and like a Halloween candy failure.  Here are some tips for you to take with you to Halloween, armed and ready to conquer this candy fest they call a holiday!!  It all starts NOW, your mindset will dictate your results and outcome of Halloween.  There will be candy leading up to Friday and thereafter as well!  Don't throw this week out just because you're leading up to Halloween.  Focus and change your mindset!  So...what can you do NOW to prepare for Halloween?

Here are some tips to get you thru the week!

1.  DON'T BUY YOUR FAVORITE CANDY!
Healthy TIPS: How to Survive HalloweenI used to always think my parents were "cheap" when buying candy for Halloween.  We always got the mixed bag of stuff I hated!  Which in all reality, my mom knew that if she had the chocolate in the house, she'd eat it!!  So...lesson learned!!  You know your weaknesses, you know what your favorite candies are, so why tempt yourself buy buying what you love the most?  I know I won't be having Reese's, Kit-Kats, or anything dark chocolate in my house to give out!!! It just doesn't measure up!  If you have extra candy in the house, all of which is your favorite kind, what do you think you'll want to do?  Yep, eat it!!  So just don't go there, it's simple!  This year I'm going to opt for the mini bags of pretzels!  Kids get tons of candy so why do they need more?  Problem solved!!!

2.  OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND
There is no reason to keep a candy dish out on your coffee table just because it's that time of the year!  If it's there in front of you, you'll be so much more likely to grab it and chomp down on some candy while you're watching TV.  I don't even open our candy we give away until we are ready to walk out the door or until our first Trick-or-Treater comes to the door!  If you don't see it, you're far less tempted to reach for it!

3.  KEEP A FOOD JOURNAL
If you are really wanting to make sure you stay on track this week, commit to writing everything down that you eat.  There are great apps for this that you can download and add in your phone, or simply just a pen and paper does great!  Make note of every piece of food, candy, beverage you put into your mouth and really hold yourself accountable to what you're eating.  Most likely you'll eat less because so much of it that we do throughout the day is mindless eating anyways...especially when it comes to Halloween night!!  Before you know it you've had 10 pieces!

4.  EXERCISE
Your exercise program doesn't take a "holiday break"!  Remember that!!  If there's any really important time to make sure you don't miss a workout, it's NOW!!  Prepare in advance.  If you know you aren't going to want to workout then start talking it up in your head NOW and make it a non-negotiable.  Get up on Friday morning, get your workout in and start your day off right!  Plan out your meals for the day, your Shakeology, snacks, lunch, and DINNER!!  Don't forget to eat dinner before you go out trick-or-treating!  ***Shakeology is a great option for dinner Friday night as it will give you the sweet you're looking for instead of the chocolate candy bars!!***


5.  FIND HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES
Healthy TIPS: How to Survive Halloween, dark chocolate flourless brownie muffinsThere are so many healthy alternatives to piling in the junk and candy that Halloween and holidays bring.  Yes, you may need to be a little more creative, but it will certainly pay off in the end!
Here are some healthy treats you can try if you've just got to have that sweet tooth fulfilled!

Dark Chocolate Flourless Brownie Muffins  These are amazingly delicious...be careful, you may not be able to just eat one!

Shakeology Power Balls - Super yummy...again, gotta make sure you don't pop too many.
But...enjoy!  Try freezing them and when you need a quick treat grab just ONE!!

Flourless Blondie Cookies - Once again, DELICIOUS and a great alternative to cookies!!

Air Popped Popcorn - always a delicious treat!!


If you want to change you are going to have to give up a little to get a lot of good!  


Want an extra level of accountability?

Halloween Candy DETOX & The 3 Day Refresh!!

Halloween is ONE short week away!  Can you believe it?  We are officially into the season of holidays, one right after the other.  Which also means TONS of TEMPTATIONS!!!  It starts off with the loads of candy with Halloween and continues with mounds of food for Thanksgiving and then on to Christmas with more food and Christmas cookies galore...not to mention the snacks and treats in every office and teachers lounge!!  We literally can't get away from it!  It's no wonder why Americans will gain on average around 5-8 lbs between now and the end of the year!

Do you want to fall into that statistic??  OR...do you want to start off your season the right way, learn to enjoy your special treats and holiday fixings in moderation and come out of this season maintaining your weight?

It's not about giving up everything you enjoy thru the holidays, it's about changing your thinking and only choosing what you really want! 


Post Halloween Candy Crusher, 3 day refresh, shakeology, clean eating
Post Halloween Candy Crusher, 3-Day Refresh with Shakeology and Clean Eating!

So what is this Candy Crusher all about?  Well, starting on November 3rd we will start the 3 Day Refresh and then move straight into 30 days of Shakeology and Clean Eating.  My hope for you is that you can have the tools necessary to stop the excess weight gain often put on this time of year!  Why not start NOW instead of January 1st watching what you put into your mouth.  You'll learn how to successfully get through the holiday season, not by being "perfect" or not able to enjoy your favorite foods, but how to survive the holidays and be able to pick and choose what you love most!

Do something today that your future self will thank you for.  3 day Refresh, shakeology, clean eating


So what is the 3 Day Refresh? The Refresh is a Team Beachbody Product that is meant to be a healthy alternative to cleanses that are on the market that really don't contain nutritional value.  For example, the juice cleanses, the various fasts, extreme cleanses, they really aren't the best option for you.  The Research and Development team really wanted to create a product that gives an alternative to these cleanses that will provide proper nutrition and was safe and effective at helping you with rapid weight loss!

3 Day Refresh, Halloween Candy Detox, Shakeology and Clean Eating
3-Day Refresh + 30 Days of Shakeology and Clean Eating

What comes with the Refresh Kit?  With the basic Refresh kit you get 3 Shakeology packets, 3 packets of the Fiber Sweep, 6 packets of the Vanilla Refresh, a nutritional guide and program manual.

How do you do the Refresh?  You drink a Shakeology Shake for breakfast with a serving of fruit from the book.  You get to have the Fiber Sweep as your mid-morning snack and water.  At lunch you'll have the Vanilla Refresh Shake with a serving of veggies, fruit and good fat.  For Dinner the Vanilla Fresh Shake with a meal choice from the nutritional booklet!!  You can drink green tea and water but avoid all processed foods, canned fruits and veggies, sweeteners and dairy.  You are truly cutting back to the basic to cut the bloating and help you lose weight!!


Then from there we will head straight into learning how to keep your success of the 3 Day Refresh and start clean eating and drinking Shakeology every day for 30 days!  Workout is optional and suggested during these 30 days.  Even getting out there and doing 20-30 minutes of walking would be great!!

Fall Into Fitness - The 21 Day Fix!!

September is one of my favorite months!  It just seems like it's a "fresh" month!  It's a great time to start new things and get back into a routine.  School is starting (or has already) and with school comes schedules and routines...did you miss that during the summer?  I'm always ready to get back into routines come fall!

Wake up and smell the routine, 21 Day Fix, accountability group, motivation, support, lose weight, fall into fitness
Time for a routine!


Well...I'm so excited to announce that, in perfect timing...here to save the day for your new routine, is the 21 Day Fix SALE!!  Whoop Whoop!! (time for a little happy dance!)  That's right...you heard it correctly, the 21 Day Fix is on SALE!!

21 Day Fix, accountability group, motivation, support, lose weight, fall into fitness


You may be asking: "What's so great about the 21 Day Fix?"  Well, this is a program that is for all fitness levels.  From beginner to advanced.  It is a fitness program that gives you 7 different workouts PLUS it's a nutrition program that gives you step by step and paint by numbers type of nutrition plan!  

Let's face it...when it comes to nutrition, this is 80% of our results!!  And I get it...it's sometimes overwhelming to wrap your mind around.  

I know for me, these are the things I find myself thinking from time to time and I know others think this way too.  We often think:
  • Nutrition is NOT easy
  • I don't know what to eat
  • I don't know how much should I be eating
  • I don't know where to start
  • I don't know how often I should eat
Have you ever said any of that to yourself?  Most likely you have...and if you have, here is a perfect solution to all those things we say in our head.  Here's how the 21 Day Fix simplifies your nutrition plan!  


Color Coded, Portion-Controlled Containers:
You'll get 7 color coded and portion controlled containers.  At the beginning of the program you'll take your weight and input it into a formula that will tell you your calorie range for each day.  This will then tell you how many of each container you'll be allotted each day.  Then, you'll plan your days accordingly based on the number of each container you are allowed!  Once your finished with the containers for the day, you've gotta save your food for the next day!  You'd be surprised how much food you really get when you eat the right amount and kinds of food!

21 Day Fix containers, 21 Day Fix, accountability group, motivation, support, lose weight, fall into fitness
21 Day Fix Color-Coded Containers 


What about the workouts?
There are 7 different workouts with this program, one for each day of the week and only 30 minutes each day!!

Day 1 - Total Body Cardio Fix
Day 2 - Upper Fix
Day 3 - Lower Fix
Day 4 - Pilates Fix
Day 5 - Cardio Fix
Day 6 - Dirty 30
Day 7 - Yoga Fix

Each of the workouts has a modifier in the video so if you are a beginner you can follow her and as you get stronger and progress you can adjust your workouts accordingly!  

30-minute workout, 21 Day Fix, accountability group, motivation, support, lose weight, fall into fitness
30- minute workouts


What I love about this program is that it teaches you HOW MUCH to eat and WHAT to eat!  It takes all the guess work out of the equation and makes it easy for you!  You are eating real food and you can even choose to have chocolate or a glass of wine!  You just have to plan it and choose your containers in the proper way!  This will truly teach you over the 21 days that you are not on a "diet" this is a lifestyle change!!

Shakeology - Try it out...

Have you heard of Shakeology?  Do you know what it is?  What it can do for you?  How it can aid in your health and transform your health and body?

First off, Shakeology is not just an ordinary protein shake...it's going to be your healthiest meal of the day!  It’s a nutrient-packed shake that provides a wide variety of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula.  Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weigh loss or to make sure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology is the healthiest meal of the day.  It’s nutrition simplified!


Shakeology, nutrition simplified, julie little


There are over 70 natural, high-quality ingredients from all over the world together in one glass to provide you the best nutrients your body needs to maintain a healthy diet.

Why should I drink Shakeology?

-Lose Weight
-Curb Cravings
-Feel Energized
-Improve Digestion and Regularity

If you are looking to lose weight, curb cravings, gain energy, or simply get all the nutrients your body needs for optimal health, Shakeology helps with all these as well as promoting healthy digestion and regularity.  Shakeology recommends you replace one meal per day with a shake as well as a balanced diet and regular exercise. 

Shakeology is a MUST for me!  I’m a busy mom and don’t always have time to make myself a big salad, and honestly, a chocolate shake is more tasty!  I know I am getting all the nutrients my body needs to support my health.  It helps me have greater energy and fewer food cravings.  It’s a great way to be certain that I’m getting at least one super-nutrient packed meal.  Try it out for yourself!



One of my challengers recently wrote me after only drinking Shakeology for less than 2 weeks and said:

"Is it possible my body is changing already?  It's much, much easier to resist temptation.  I didn't believe Shakeology would "work" like that but I think it does.  I have zero desire for sweets right now (except wine)."
-Liz

Yes...it's possible.  And it does curb your cravings and give you energy!!  

Would you like to try Shakeology?  There's a couple options...you can order a full bag of Shakeology which is one month supply and also comes with a 30-Day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied. Or I have individual packets you can purchase from me and I'll ship them to you. (There's a PayPal button over on the right side of my page...please pay as a "Send Money to a Friend" when using PayPal).  I recommend trying a week's worth at a time.  It's $35 for 7 packets (well, actually, it's 7 meals for only $5 each...you can't beat that for an inexpensive HEALTHY meal!!).  I have Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry packets to choose from.  You can purchase them at the right side of my blog and I'll get them shipped out to you right away.
