What is PiYo? Chalene Johnson's New Workout Coming Soon...

Have you heard the news yet?  Beachbody is coming out with yet another amazing new fitness program!!  This time, it's from the amazingly talented Chalene Johnson.  Now, you probably know her from TurboFire or Chalene Extreme.  These are two fabulous fitness programs.  TurboFire is a high intensity, cardio kickboxing, HIIT workout!  It's upbeat and fast moving.  And did I mention that the TurboFire Challenge Pack is on SALE this month??  It's a great time to get a fabulous workout and Shakeology for an amazing deal!!

But, back to PiYo.  I am SO excited about this program.  I think this will be something that a lot of people will come to love and need!  It's a combination of high intensity, low impact moves to improve your flexibility, stamina, and strength.  It is yoga and Pilates inspired but it pulls it all together to actually give you a sweaty cardio workout as well!  Through this workout you will get an intensely defined physique without jumps, weights and joint strain!!  This uses only your body weight.

Biggest reason I'm excited for PiYo!
To be honest with you, one of the biggest reasons I can't wait for PiYo to come out is that Chalene says that one reason she created this workout is that she was starting to have lots of little injuries from working out so much and losing her flexibility!!!  WOW!!  This is exactly what had been going on in my head lately.  I felt like I had all these stupid little "injuries" or pains here and there that I never had felt before.  I equated it to just working out more and that's what would happen…Well, I'm so happy to know that there is a solution for this!  So not only will this help to define your long and lean muscles, but it will increase your flexibility and help PREVENT injury!!!  That's the biggest reason I am excited for this program!

What kind of results can I expect?
From a workout like this, you will see your body change in many ways…you'll see long, lean muscles, a high, firm booty and tight, flat, sexy abs!  PiYo will work every single muscle to stabilize, stretch, and strengthen every inch of your body.  Not to mention crazy calories will be burned!

  

Who is this for?
PiYo is for all fitness levels!  This is going to be great for strengthening and improving flexibility!  It's low impact and would be a great fit for those who want great results but don't like the jumping and pounding of some other workouts!

Lose the Fat for Summer!

I can't believe that it's already more than half way through May already!  Once we whit Memorial Day, the inedible is right around the corner…be it good or bad…SUMMER!!  Now, if you are like most women (not to leave the guys out on this one, but some men…) you dread the thought of "summer" because of getting into your swimsuit!  Or maybe you've recently tried on those shorts from last summer and wondered why the heck they don't fit anymore!

Can I get an AMEN to that??  I know you are out there…we've all be there at least one time in our lives, if not more!

Well…there's good news to this!  YES, I'm serious…GOOD NEWS!!!  It's not too late to still lose some weight and inches before Summer or some of your great vacations you may have planned!

I know time is of the essence, but anyone can commit to 21 days, am I right?

If I provided you with a 21 day program that includes a simple eating plan that helps with portion control and tell you exactly what you need to eat and how much of it, and you could lose 8-15 lbs. 

No need to count calories by the way and you can eat whatever you want. 

Would you be interested?

There's no secret…there's no magic pill.  It's going to require you to be focused…committed to your goal…ready to do the work…and confident you will succeed!  You CAN feel better about yourself for summertime, there's no reason you can't start NOW!

Are you ready to make a change…Start now!

On May 27th I am kicking off my 25 Days Until Summer Challenge.  

My goal is to help you get rid of the excuses that have been weighing you down and keeping you from reaching your goal…we'll talk about the emotional eating, I'll give you tools to be successful and teach you how to make it a lifestyle and not a crash diet.  We will work on getting a meal plan that is right for you with the kinds of foods you like to eat, kid tested and husband approved!!  My mission is to set you up for success.  We will work through creating a successful a plan for you and motivating you to and giving you the accountability to help push you though your goals!  This is not something you will have to do alone!

I call this group a CHALLENGE GROUP!  This is not a competition to see who can win or lose the most weight, but it is an accountability group.  A place that you can feel safe, comfortable talking about your struggles and triumphs, where you won't be judged for making a mistake, instead we encourage you and celebrate all the victories along the way!

The group will begin on May 27th (just after Memorial Day!).  The requirements are that I am YOUR coach!  This will be an exclusive 21 Day Group using the 21 Day Fix plus you will be required replace ONE meal a day with Shakeology for the duration of the challenge.   Then I will add you to the accountability group where we will set goals, track our progress and make your meal plan, teach you how to prepare healthy snacks, I will give you recipes…and MORE!  (More info on the 21 Day Fix click HERE)

So yes, I'm sure you stopped at the "Shakeology" and said, "heck no I don't do shakes" or you said "I don't want to be dependent on a shake to lose weight", right?  Well I was the exact same way.  Let me just say, I was surprised at the difference Shakeology made in the way I felt.  Clearly I wasn't eating the recommended daily veggies or even getting enough of the vitamins and nutrients and minerals from my foods I was eating.  When I added Shakeology (not a protein shake but a complete all natural meal) I stopped having cravings for sweets, I had more energy, I didn't have the afternoon slump at 2pm…it really is amazing!!  Ok…enough about that!

The challenge groups have changed my life!!  This is no joke.  As a mom, it's so easy to put everybody else first, feed the kids, get to all the activities they have, etc.  Well, where's the time to take care of myself?  I didn't have time to go to the gym and workout.  I can do this right in my living room. I have the support and accountability that I had always needed and craved.  It is a PERECT fit!!

Do you need that kind of support?  Do you continue to sign up for gym memberships thinking that "this time" it will be different and I will get up and go to the gym and then fail to follow through?  Not this time…It's different now!!  You are READY and I am here to help you change!

It all starts with you COMMITTING to MAKE a CHANGE!!  Are you READY??

Space is limited so when the group fills up then you will go on the waiting list for the following months group!

The Ultimate Reset Progress Update- Days 3 and 4

I've made it past 4 days on the Ultimate Reset!    It's been quite a wild ride, I must say!

(Not sure what the Ultimate Reset is…Click HERE)

In 4 days I'm down 3.5 lbs!!  Whoop Whoop!!

Day 3 was on Friday for me…

Everything went pretty good.  I had fairly a good amount of energy.  I didn't have very bad headaches at all, but did start to feel my body ache as I went though out the day.  I knew that would be some of the feelings I may have (body aches), and that's because the toxins are being released.  I'm drinking a gallon or more of water throughout the day, so I know I'm getting plenty of water!

My meals on Friday were really good.  I'm SUCH a creature of habit when it comes to my food, that I know this is really good for me to be mixing up my food and nutrients every day.  I will admit, I'm in the kitchen A LOT with these recipes.  It's not that they are hard to make, I'm just not used to them and sometimes they are time consuming, but they are so worth it.

Day 3 Meals - Ultimate Reset

Day 4…that's another story…

Well, to say everything was fine and dandy on day 4 would be a LIE!!

How far will you go?

Everything started out nicely on Saturday (Day 4).  I got a later start to the day because I slept in.  (And did I ever mention that on the Ultimate Reset, they tell you to NOT WORKOUT because your body needs the break while it is working hard to detox!!!).  So I had breakfast a bit later than normal, which was a giant plate of fruit (it was beautiful) and some yogurt.  It was delicious, but I was hungry so quickly afterward!!  It didn't keep me satisfied for long enough.  But, I kept pounding the water.  

I devoured my lunch which was delicious, Nori Rolls with Temphe and Veggies and a Lentil-Lime Salad!  Then we went out to run some errands for the afternoon.  By the time my snack came around, I was SO hungry again and it was the best snack I'd ever had (because I was really hungry).  I was starting to feel body aches and a little dizzy and just not too good over all.  I was starting a headache as well.  

Dinner rolls around, and I've got a pretty good sized headache coming along.  Dinner was AMAZING…Stir-fried veggies with quinoa & Cucumber and Tomato Salad.  It was a ton of food, which I was really happy about, but by the end of dinner I had a raging headache.

My head got so bad that I turned into bed at 7:50 pm just to get in a dark and quite room.  I slept a couple hours and woke up and still had the headache so I soaked my feet in warm water hoping that would help.  On the Reset, they want you to NOT take any pain medications because you are trying to rid your body of all that stuff!  So I held off as long as I could and finally by 10 pm my head was so bad it was throbbing like I've never had it before (I'm used to migraines and this was more painful than I've ever had!).  So I finally broke down and had 1 Advil and was able to get to sleep!  Let's just say I was happy for that day to be over!!

Day 4 Meals - Ultimate Reset

Take away from the last 4 days--

• I like variety in my diet…it's a great change from being such a creature of habit!  While the work is a lot, it is well worth the work in the kitchen!

• It's an interesting process to be detoxing your body, and I think a definite MUST for everyone!  Not enjoying the headaches though…
