From 5 Years Without Fitness to FABULOUS

Thursdays are one of my favorites because I get to brag about my INSPIRING team a little bit and focus on some of the success we've seen. Meet Meredith.. wife, mom of SIX, and 21 Day Fix graduate. Here is her story about how 21 Day Fix started her on her fitness path:

"5 YEARS! I had been exercise free for FIVE WHOLE YEARS! Wait...I probably shouldn't admit that to you, but it's true!

I know what it's like to be dismally out of shape.

I know what it's like to have knee pain and feel like I had no options....

I know what it's like to come to terms with getting older and being OK with aches and pains and weight gains.

That was me just 8 months ago. Every time I tried to exercise, my knee would swell and I couldn't walk for a week...so really, who could blame me for give up on exercise? Then it started creeping into everyday life. I was having a hard time performing daily tasks because of it. So that's when I thought....enough is enough! I started physical therapy. The exercises were simple...leg raises, wall squats...but something happened. Maybe it was a surge of endorphins that I haven't felt in 5 years, but I began feeling better. And that's when the beast awakened!

I started with my elliptical....level 1 for 15 minutes. That's all I could do. It was hard and I wanted to quit after every 30 seconds. But I pushed myself harder everyday until I could do 30 minutes. And it just progressed from there. I was able to lose around five pounds in two months, but I also gained energy and confidence. Both of which had been lacking for a while.

That's when I started Beachbody. I did the 21 Day Fix with Autumn Calabrese. It gave me direction, it gave me a meal plan, a meal replacement with Shakeology, a coach to help and encourage me, and a time frame. And after 21 days...I lost 10 pounds and 2-3 inches EVERYWHERE!!!! I've lost 10 more pounds since then with some other programs, but the 21 Day Fix will always have a special place in my heart. It was my kick start! All I had to do was follow the program!"

These INCREDIBLE transformations are happening to people just like you and me. You CAN do it, too!!

Huuummp Daaaaaay!!!

It's Wednesday! The week is half over!! How have your workouts gone this week? Even though it is Spring Break here in Oregon I'm still taking the time to get my sweat on!! Best part is it doesn't need to take much time out of your day. 

I am a big believer that small things can make a big difference. My Muscle Max Out Challenges focus on one muscle group at a time to give you a place to start with your fitness goals. And they best part it you can do it at your own pace and as many times as you can. Here is one of my favorite circuits:

Happy Birthday, Shakeology!!

So last week was the 6th birthday of my most favorite supplement of all time, SHAKEOLOGY. I know you've heard me praise it before but this stuff really is the bee's knees!! To celebrate the birthday you can now order a Shakeology Super Sampler which has all 6 flavors (Greenberry, Chocolate, Chocolate Vegan, Strawberry, Vanilla, and Tropical Strawberry Vegan) in one box so now you can try them all and find your favorite to come to your doorstep each month. 

One of the reasons I love Shakeology so much is because it is so versatile - smoothies, cookies, pancakes, etc. And it is PACKED with SUPERNUTRIENTS!! And when you combine it with one of Beachbody's programs like T25 the results can be AMAZING - even LIFE CHANGING!! Check out Ashley's success story from the Shakeology blog:

“I was only 5′ 3″ but tipped the scale at 200 pounds. Sure, I just had a baby, but nobody at my height should weigh anywhere near what I did. I thought about working out, but my excuses were: I’m too tired, I’m in too bad of shape to even begin a program, and I have NO time. Well thanks to T25, all of my excuses got left in the dust.

My goal with T25 was to lose the baby weight as well as to find my health and myself again. I so desperately wanted to be happy, fit, and the Ashley I remembered. I’m not going to lie, the T25 workouts were INTENSE, but that’s why they’re only 25 minutes. After only ONE round I lost 47 lbs. and went from a size 16 to a 6! Today I feel strong, confident, HEALTHY, and in control of my own health and fitness. My endurance is through the roof and I have so much energy. Not only am I physically fit, but I transformed inside too! I wear my smile all the time because I feel better about myself now than I have in years.”

Motivation Monday: What's Holding You Back??

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Are you ready to get back at it and start making your DREAMS come true?!?!

Last week I posted about the importance of priorities and putting your own personal GROWTH and HAPPINESS first on your priority list. I hope you've had the chance to think about your list and rearrange it if you need to. 

This subject of this post is one of the best and worst because you will need to be extremely vulnerable with yourself. What is it in your life that is HOLDING YOU BACK? I know this isn't an easy thing to do but I also know how powerful discovering the answers can be!!

It is time for all of us to STOP WISHING and START DOING. The next video in my 'Goal Diggers' series is about discovering what is holding you back and BREAKING THROUGH them. Hope you enjoy it!!

YOU Can Do It Too!!

Time for another Team RockIt brag-fest!! Amazingly awesome life-changing things are happening in this team and I LOVE IT!!

Meet Erin and Rick Morris, a busy couple who decided to take back control of their health. Here is their story about how 21 Day Fix and Shakeology helped them re-focus:

"‘We have four children.’ That was always our excuse as to why we didn't make time to work out. 7 months ago we finally stopped with the excuses and got serious. We found 21 Day Fix and Shakeoloy and it has completely transformed our lives! Our children are no longer running laps around us, instead we are able to keep up with them.

We have both lost 25 lbs. and still going. Rick went from a 36 waist to a size 32, I went from wearing a size 8/10 to wearing a size 2/4. Working out together and reaching goals together has made our marriage stronger and brought us so much closer! There is nothing better than starting our day off breaking a sweat together! Our health and fitness has become a priority, our children depend on us to be healthy, they deserve to have parents that love and care about themselves so that we can teach them to do the same!"

Isn't it inspiring to see these transformations?? This is why I LOVE Beachbody!!

Adventures In Tofu & Shakeology

If you've followed me on Facebook recently you've seen that I've been experimenting with tofu a bit. I recently came across this recipe that combines tofu and Shakeology that looks FABULOUS!!

Key Lime Shakeology Pie

2 scoops Greenberry Shakeology
1 container tofu, silken firm (approx. 12 oz.) 
Juice of 2 limes 
1 Tbsp. sugar-free lime Jell-O® mix
2 Tbsp. orange juice
2 1-1/4 oz. reduced fat cream cheese
1 pre-made whole-grain graham pie crust
Directions: Place tofu, Greenberry Shakeology, Jell-O, lime juice, cream cheese, and orange juice in blender; blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into pie crust and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. (Makes 8 servings.)

One of the reasons I love Shakeology so much is because it is so versatile. And it is PACKED with SUPERNUTRIENTS!! From the Shakeology blog, here is a list of some of the supernutrients found in each glass of Shakeology:

• Adaptogen Supernutrients that help promote strong immune function, help the body cope with environmental stress, naturally help increase energy, help promote ideal cognitive function, and promote calmness
• Antioxidant Supernutrients that protect the body from free radicals, prevent cellular damage, and promote cardiovascular health
• Vitamin and Mineral Supernutrients that help your cells make energy, build and repair muscles, strengthen bones and support energy production
• Protein and Amino Acid Supernutrients that build muscle, reduce hunger and food cravings, help keep blood sugar steady, promote healthy skin, hair and nails, support brain function for alert thinking and well-being and support your immune system
• Phytonutrient Supernutrients that support strong immune function, promote healthy aging, help detoxify the body and promote an ideal alkaline state
• Probiotics Supernutrients that promote healthy digestion and normal colon function
• Prebiotics Supernutrients that help probiotics grow and thrive, and strengthen the immune system
• Digestive Enzyme Supernutrients that help your body break down food to assimilate nutrients better

Motivation Monday: Priorities

Happy Happy Monday everyone!!

Last week I shared a little bit about creating your DREAM LIFE and getting started on working toward your goals. And that's the key... to START!! 

As I've worked toward making my own dreams come true I've learned how important it is to PRIORITIZE. A problem that I've faced is having my priorities become out of balance. I completely left myself off my own priority list. Your list will probably look totally different from mine, and that's OK. What should be the same though is putting your own personal GROWTH and HAPPINESS first on that list.

We all have so much to do and so many little tasks to get done each day that it can make it easy to lose sight of our bigger goals. The next video in my 'Goal Diggers' series is about creating your priorities. Hope you enjoy it!!

This Is What Brings Me JOY

One of the things I love the most about being a Beachbody coach is seeing the moms on my team change their lives and start reaching their goals. Here is an AWESOME story from Team RockIt:

"Hey! I'm Shaylin, and I'm a 24 year old wife and mother! I have been married for 3 years to my perfect pair, and our 10 month old son is the cutest thing I've ever seen (biased mom opinion, maybe?!). My entire life up until a year ago was very unhealthy. Junk food was TOWERING in our garage when I was growing up, and most of our meals were very fatty.. Toast with a quarter stick of butter, tons of "cream of this" soups in our dinners, and we ALWAYS had snack foods until the minute we went to bed. I had issues with my body image all growing up, but I think it was because my mom did too, because looking back I was pretty "normal". 

When I left home after high school, I was really active and kept the weight at bay by going to dance parties and "slack lining". The foods I was eating consisted of 16 packs of old fashioned donuts (that I kept very stingily to myself), sugar cereal, candy, and Grandma Sycamore's white bread. I'm surprised my body didn't just fall to the ground and refuse to get back up!!! After I got married, I quit my job to focus on school, and I instantly gained at least 15 pounds in 2-3 months. Eh, big deal. Then another 5, and another, and then all of a sudden I didn't recognize myself. I turned very negative about everything, I would complain more often, and I was very irritable. To put it lightly, I was a terrible wife. I got pregnant a couple years into our marriage and people kept asking if I was eating healthier and I thought, "I've been eating this way my entire life, the baby will be fine!"

That all changed when he got here.. 5 weeks early, in the NICU for 2 weeks, and I just knew I HAD to be the best example for him that I could be. Three months after he was born, I found Beachbody! I ordered Shakeology and Focus T25 and FINALLY, for the first time in 23 years, paid attention to what I was eating and made healthier choices. I lost 7 pounds that first week, 12 in the first month, and then 4 months later, I was down 23 pounds. I was finally beginning to recognize myself again and my self confidence was sneaking back. I started reading personal development books which helped me to really focus on the positive things in my life, and everything has been on an upward path since then! I'm a happy wife and mom, I can run around with my son, I can play sports again, and I'm not worried about what others are thinking of me. I can almost out-workout my husband!! I have since completed a few other programs and am still working toward my goal, but I'm closer than I ever thought I could be! I am SO grateful for those who were placed in my pathway to help me find the better side of me again!"

This is why I LOVE Beachbody!! Seeing the transformation in people's loves brings so much JOY. If you've been thinking about becoming a coach and helping others reach their goals click here to fill out a brief form and I'd be happy to share more information with you.

The Rule of DOUBLES!

Planning and creating meals when you are a BUSY MOM can seem DAUNTING.

Lets be honest...life with kids NEVER goes as planned!!   Dinner time always seems to creep up on me and then everyone is HUNGRY..tired...and WAITING for mom to figure out what to make is just NOT going to happen!!  So then you end up with frozen pizza or macaroni.. AGAIN.  Because its fast, easy...and you're just trying to maintain sanity!! You KNOW your kids will eat THAT!!  But..is it really healthy. NO.  Its not...but hey you are all still ALIVE.

Trust me....I have been there.  ALL THE TIME. Sometimes my kids still eat pizza and macaroni.

Once I started to shift to CLEAN EATING I found myself trying to figure out how to PLAN so that I didn't fall into the trap of being both TIRED and UNPREPARED....AND to find clean recipes my KIDS WOULD EAT!!!

Meet THE RULE OF DOUBLES!!!

The IDEA behind it is that YOU PREP DOUBLE the INGREDIENTS and you use those ingredients to build other meals during the week...So you DOUBLE up the USE!!  You SHOP ONCE, Prep DOUBLE and then USE DOUBLE.


Here is a video that explains it a little better:

Here is my MEAL PLAN for this Week!
It shows what I prepped....and then what I used!! Another trick is to prep the one or two things you need in the MORNING!  So if you need CHICKEN...bake it in the morning while you are getting your kids off to school! Or make your rice at lunch time while your kids are sitting eating lunch!!  THEN...when DINNER rolls around (and the meltdowns) all you have to do it throw it together.....

It's YOUR Dream

Last night I got REAL with myself.  A lot of BIG dreams of ours are starting to be right within reach.....

So I asked myself ...Are you REALLY living the life of your Dreams?!?

For a long time I didn't think I COULD. Goals and success was something I cheered for ...for everyone else.  I both felt Selfish wanting more...but I also didn't think I was capable of more.

Well God put a stop to that!!!  Sometimes God throws fire at you....and you learn to dodge it, then dance with it, then.... You internalize it!!

Out of struggle...burns strength!!

Working towards our big dreams as a family these past 5 years has been crazy..and hard...

I get so tired and busy...

So when I found myself saying this past week

"I wish I had more time to read the scriptures...and connect to God .."

And 

"I wish I could get back to running everyday..."

I realized....Wishes don't just COME TRUE....you gotta DO something!!

You're never going to have more hours in a day...

So if you  really want something....stop wishing and start DOING!!!

So....when I went to bed (late) last night I told my husband....

"I'm getting up early to RUN tomorrow dangit!!"

...set my alarm (so early)

....set out my clothes

And BAM....morning came like in 2 seconds!!! 

Well it was dark...very dark...and cold...and a little drizzly rainy ...

Well guess what?!!! Oregon ain't changing its Wheather any time soon!!!

So I laced up...downed my pre-workout...put on my reflective vest....and went running. (Feels so dang good!) 

Headphones in....filled my brain with scripture...had a good long Chat with God...

Came home and did my 21 day Fix Extreme Pliyo .....

And it's not even time to wake up the kids!!!!

Truth...  

If  YOU want something to change in your life...start Do-ing instead of Wishing!!

If you need a Miracle ...or you know it's gonna take one to make your dreams come true...

Ask God... Have Faith that it CAN happen....and get to work!!!!

......dreams take time. So trust that if you DO all YOU can do...God WILL move the mountain!!

go MONDAY !
