Black Friday SALE!

IT'S HERE!!!  I LOVE Black Friday Specials!  Sometimes I enjoy getting out there and battling the crowds but most of the time, I love getting on my computer and NOT having to battle ANY crowds.  Just depends on my mood.

Well…TODAY is your lucky BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL!  Give the gift to yourself OR a loved one to help them get in shape this year and get healthy!

As moms, we tend to think only of others and not take care of ourselves because we think we are being selfish.  Well, I've got news for YOU… You're not being selfish if you're going to take care of yourself and be healthy.  Your family NEEDS you to be healthy, and MOMS, it starts with US!  Fit and healthy mom does NOT equal selfish mom!

Today is YOUR day to start!  Make the decision TODAY that you are going to get healthy, if not for you…for YOUR FAMILY!

I've been drinking Shakeology for over 3 months now and have had great results of losing over 5 lbs and 8.5 inches to date.  Shakeology has helped curb my cravings for sweets, it has given me energy when it's the hardest "slump" time of the day (the 2pm hour), and it helps keep me full for a good 3 hours!  Not to mention the nutrient benefits of Shakeology...I have stopped taking my multivitamin and replaced it with a daily meal of Shakeology!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I have been anxiously awaiting this day.  I love all the memories it brings, the smells of Thanksgiving and simply being with family makes me so happy!  It's a time to just sit back and relax and remember all the things we have to be thankful for!

As for me…here's what I'm most thankful for!  My amazing family, their love and support and the fun we have together!

The Little Family

Remember to enjoy the day…here's what my day looks like:

5:30am - Get up and workout (T25 - Alpha Cardio)

8am - Breakfast (Chocolate Shakeology with almond milk, pumpkin puree and cinnamon)

Late morning jog or activity outside with the family.

10:30-11ish - morning snack (veggies and hummus)

Thanksgiving Traveling Tips

Thanksgiving is one of the heaviest travel times for Americans.  This year over 43 million are expected to be on the road or in the air traveling for Thanksgiving.  Are you one of those 43 million?  Well, if you are, then you'd better be prepared and armed with all the healthy foods and snack for the trip!

I know it's really hard to stay on track at Thanksgiving, let alone, when you are traveling…but here are some tips that can really help you focus on your success.

Pack Your Snacks.
This shouldn't be any surprise to you if you have been following the clean eating rules (see #7).

In order for you to succeed, then you need to be armed with plenty of healthy snacks.  Things that are easy to travel with.  Here are some examples of healthy snacks combining a complex carb with a protein.  You've got to be prepared because you never know what bump in the road you'll come across.

• Apple and 14 almonds
• Shakeology 
• String cheese and 20 grapes
• Veggies and hummus
• Veggies and string cheese
• Banana and 14 almonds
• Quest Bar
• Lara Bar

Drink Your Water!

I know sometimes it's hard to get your water down even on a good day.  However, it's especially important to drink water when you're traveling.  Helps you not to swell (especially when you're flying) and helps you not get so tight as your are sitting in the car on a road trip.  Now, here's a little tip so you won't have to stop for a restroom break every 30 minutes… If you are in the car then plan your "guzzling" times for about 30 minutes before you know you are going to be stopping for gas, lunch or a pit stop.  That way you won't be making everyone stop because you are slowly sipping on water the whole time!

Choose wisely when eating out.

You've got many choices when you're eating out.  A salad and protein is always a good option as long its not loaded with tons of extra "goodies" on the salad (cheese, bacon, olives, eggs, dressing, etc).  When you get a salad, get one with some grilled chicken, hold the dressing (opt for oil and vinegar on the side), and one that has lots of VEGGIES.  

If you prefer more of a "meal", choose a lean protein that is grilled or broiled chicken, lean pork, grilled fish.  Avoid foods with sauce or anything creamy.  Always ask for veggies steamed!!!

Get Moving!

Just because you're on vacation doesn't mean you can't workout!  Go out for a walk or jog…find someplace to hike.  If you're at a hotel the go to the gym they have available for guests.  Or, bring your Beachbody DVDs with you to workout in your room!!  Get active and don't make an excuse because you're "on vacation".  

Enjoy your Thanksgiving break with friends and family!  Take these tips to heart and you'll find you feel so much better after you implement some or all of these!

If you're looking for an opportunity to get back on track with health and fitness, starting December 2nd receive support and accountability in a private group setting.  Reach the goals you DESERVE for yourself.  Don't wait until the New Year!
