Splash into Summer - 21 Day Fix Challenge

Let's make a splash this summer - a splash into health, a splash into confidence, a splash into fitness... And yes, I realize summer is right around the corner - which is why I have the perfect idea for you!

How about 21 days to lose up to 15 pounds? Ready to get into that summer wardrobe? Let's do this, together! Whether you are ready to recommit to the 21 Day Fix, interested in taking it up a notch with the 21 Day Fix Extreme, or are just getting started - this group will be perfect for you!

Yes, working out is important but in this group we are really going to focus on helping you dial in your nutrition and create healthy lifelong habits - not a quick fix.

The 21 Day Fix or Fix Extreme are complete systems - workouts, nutrition and support. The workouts
are 30 minutes and range from yoga to weights to cardio. And work every inch of your body - including a bonus 10 minute ab workout! Each system also includes the infamous color coded containers and nutrition guide - which takes the guess work out  of the equation. 

This month, I will also be including a bonus workout and 30 day access to Beachbody on Demand! Myself and so many others have found success in this program. Honestly, it changed the way I looked at food.

My 28 Day Group (I say 28 days because for 7 days I will be teaching you how to use the 21 day fix system) will kick off June 20th. I am accepting 10 new applicants into this group - I am looking for motivated women who are ready to drop excuses and find results. Apply below for 28 days of knowledge, support, recipes, meal planning, fitness and results!

Busy Moms Finding Balance

Okay, so holiday season - busy, right? Exhausting.... draining... overwhelming... and now it is time to detox, and actually I'm not even talking about the food! I am talking about focusing on balance. I am finding balance between working, finances, coaching, motherhood, being a wife, a daughter, a friend, and on and on - and it can be challenging. I am in no means an expert but this year, starting now I am working on balancing - excuses are stopping at the door and like momma always said, "where there is a will, there is a WAY!"

I am looking for 10 motivated mommas who are looking to balance their lives, while making time for themselves to get healthy this year. 2016 for me, isn't about fitting into an outfit, or getting bikini ready ((that was 2015)) - this year, it is about becoming the healthiest version of myself! And I want you to join me...

You can expect:

• Daily full body workouts (30 minutes long)
•  Meal planning and prep assistance
• Tips on balancing all the hats we hold as moms
• A foul proof nutrition system
• Daily motivation, support and accountability
• 1:1 coaching plus peer support

My only question is, ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE? 28 days to an all around healthier you... WARNING: The transformation you experience, will be life altering - So who is with me? Let's find balance this year!

I am only accepting 10 new women into this group, first come, first to commit - Hope to see you there!

Caprese Chicken

 

Caprese salad is a family favorite - and in Autumn's new cookbook - FIXATE - she had a great idea to add it to chicken! Great, fresh summer recipe and really quite simple!

What you need:

• Raw boneless, skinless chicken breast (as many as you plan on making!)
• Ground black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp pesto sauce (per chicken breast)
• Fresh Basil Pesto sauce recipe here!
• Fresh Basil Leaves
• 1 slice of fresh mozzarella (per chicken breast)
• Tomato slices

 

What you need to do:

1. Season both sides of the chicken evenly with pepper (I am a garlic lover so I also added a pinch of granulated garlic to the chicken!)
2. Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat
3. Add chicken, cook for 3-4 minutes on each side (until no longer pink in the middle)
4. Top chicken with pesto, mozzarella, and tomato.
5. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered for 1-2 minutes or until cheese and tomatoes are softened.
6. Top with fresh basil and enjoy!

June Specials

The 21 Day Fix and the Fix Extreme are hands down two of favorite programs for myself and my challengers - WHY? Because you train with a purpose and eat with a plan! The first time I did the 21 Day Fix, I learned so much about portion control, clean eating, and working out! In both programs, you can't fail because everything is spelled out for you, no guessing! So I get really excited when this is on sale, or this month it is FREE with a purchase of a bag of Shakeology!

Since I spend a lot of time helping my challengers be successful, I am only accepting 10 new applicants! 21 Days to a new you - fitter, toned, and healthier for Summer!

Bikini Boot Camp Challenge

 

I am so excited to announce my first ever Bikini Boot Camp Challenge group starting May 6th! I am beyond thrilled to announce this challenge group - why????

 

WELL, at the beginning of the year my coach asked me what my 2015 goals were going to be professionally, financially, personally and for my family... One of my big scary goals was to feel confident in a 2 piece swim suit by my birthday, which is now quickly approaching! And guess what, I'm not there yet!!! So I need this challenge group, just as much as you do! So what better way than to reach this goal together?! Whether you are looking to drop those last 5-10 pounds, tone up or jump start your fitness journey - this group is for you!

 

At the end of this challenge, I am rewarding myself a few new summer outfits and a NEW TWO PIECE SWIM SUIT - and I want to reward one of my challengers as well.. Details will be provided in the challenge group, but one lucky challenger will be awarded a gift card to purchase a new swim suit for their new body!

 

I am keeping this group small because I want to work closely with everyone! Meal planning, recipes, 1:1 accountability, motivation and support and confidence training! I am so thrilled to have the sun and sand season ahead of us, and I am determined to make this the best summer yet!

 

 If you are ready, apply below and I can't wait to help you as we work towards our summer goals!

Week 3 & Results!

All the blood, sweat and tears were all worth it! 6.4 pounds in 21 days is pretty incredible, especially for someone who has been clean eating and working out for several months! It wasn't easy, the eggs especially! But with each passing day it got easier and easier! I actually plan on carrying this meal plan into my next program! So where did I lose the inches?

• 1/4 inch off each arm
• 1 inch off my waist
• 1.5 inches off my abdomen
• 1.5 inches off my hips
• 1.2 inch off each thigh

When I look in the mirror, I see the biggest changes in my stomach and my back! I can't believe the definition I can see in my back - I love it!!! Here is a little bit of my last week of this challenge:


Kicking off week 3 - meal planning in Easter colors as Aubrey paints!

Remote is lost - thanks Kate!!! No worries,
BB ON DEMAND to the rescue!



Getting stronger everyday - pumped up those weights
this week!

Kate was sick, congested, only napping in my arms...
So Pilates did not happen, I'm pretty sure I had a pretty good
workout carrying her 20 lb body around all day!



Umm yeah - my booty is on fire for days after this!

Cardio with weights - no joke! Aubrey thinks I look
like a goof with boxers and compression socks! 

She made it through the warm up and round 1 :)



My challenge group and myself traded in our yoga day for
the bonus workout - "The Fix Extreme Challenge"
umm yeah challenge would be an understatement!

Kate begs for eggs, and I gladly give them up!

21 Day Fix Extreme - Week 2

After a great week 1 - I am very excited to start week 2!!! Continuing the Countdown to Competition diet!

Day 8 - Back to Plyo - First time, I thought I was going to vomit, this time - I felt strong and I did so much better!!! Having a little bit of an issue with all the "reds" which for me is chicken, chicken and more chicken!

Day 9 - Upper Focus Extreme - Every 2 days, I get a break from the competition meal plan and get to switch back to the extreme - hello cheese and fruit and an extra carb!!! YAY!!!

Day 10 - Pilates on Crack! I did so much better this week as opposed to last week - I accredit it to LISTENING to Autumn, listen to what she is telling you - how much your arm should bend, or about band placement - I still have a lot of work to do in the pilates and resistance band department though!

Day 11: Leg DAY - amazing the difference a week makes - feeling strong! Great burn and sweat!

Day 12 - Extreme Cardio and Flex Friday! Switching it up on my flex Friday - seeing a lot of definition in my back and shoulders! Extreme Cardio was hard for me today, I was up for 35 hours. After caring for my kids, then working a 12 hour night shift as a nurse, then taking care of my kids all day again - it was very hard to push play.... I almost backed out, took a nap and called it a day- but I couldn't, I knew my accountability partner and my challenge group was waiting for my accountability post - so I pushed play, and felt as energized as ever!

 

Day 13 - Dirty 30 and 10 min hardcore abs

I love Dirty 30, because I love moving iron! Added an additional ab workout, which felt amazing - I would say I still have a lot of work to do in that department!

Two new meals from this week:

Chicken wraps!



My side, all measured out and fix approved - his side, not so much!

 

1.2 Pounds lost this week! Which makes 4.8 pounds in 14 days! My goal is 7 pounds by day 21 - ekkk gotta push hard this week!

21 Day Fix Extreme - Week 1

I was so excited to start Beachbody's newest program - the 21 Day Fix Extreme!! 2 reasons I was really pumped - one, I love incorporating weights into my workouts and two, I knew I needed to take my nutrition to the next level! I am at my weight that I was when I was 23 years old. But after 2 kids, the weight just didn't look the same, but my weight loss that had been so rapid has started to slow down - and I really had to think, what can I change, what was different - and I had to be honest with myself and realized my nutrition was off - picking carbs off the kids plate, a few too many trips to get frozen yogurt and not drinking enough water... So with the help of my friend, fellow coach and accountability partner - Alisha, we committed to doing this program together... The 21 Day Fix Extreme comes with 2 nutrition plans, the extreme and the countdown to competition - we decided to support each other through the countdown nutrition plan... We knew it wouldn't be easy, we both love carbs, dislike fish and eggs (really meat in general lol), and we love cheese - We meal planned together and planned on keeping each other accountable... but the best part about coaching is that not only do we get to keep each other accountable but we get to bring our challengers in on the fun and help them and coach them through the process! So first thing is first - goals for the next 21 days - my goals are to lose 7 pounds, which might seem like a big goal considering I lost 7 pounds in 8 weeks of Insanity Max:30 - but if I reach my goal it will prove that nutrition is really that important!

Okay - So I had to figure out my calories based on the 21 Day Fix Extreme Calculation.. then I saw which calorie range I fell in to.. I fell in the lowest calorie bracket - The food list for the extreme is a little stricter than the food list for the original 21 Day Fix - so here it is....


Once I saw the list, and how many of each color I could have in the day, I made my meal plan:

And then a grocery list:

And the prep, a Valentine's Day gift - my favorite kind - healthy yummy food to prep for success, plus 18 pounds of chicken lol

Woke up extra early to workout - and look who joined me!

And now for day 1: Plyo fix was so much fun - I must admit, after coming off of Insanity Max:30, it was a slower pace - but you have to remember that adding weights changes everything! Yes, Insanity might have had me squatting longer, but a weight squat is a whole different ball game! I am so proud that my husband, Dan has decided to join my journey! His immediate after thought was "I think I am going to throw up!" I don't think he has ever done a workout like that, because in the past he has used the gym and this is totally different!! He also enjoyed his first shake! I can't wait to see how he does with the program - I think he is enjoying the fact that I am actually cooking and packing his food!!!



Day 1 Food!

Day2: Upper Fix Extreme! Loved this because of all the focus on the triceps and back/shoulders! My legs are still so sore from yesterday, and I thought "oh they will get a break" - WRONG! Autumn found a way to work my legs today too!





Bumped up my weights to 8lbs and 10 lbs - felt amazing!

Day 3: Pilates Extreme - Truth me told, not a pilates fan or a resistance band fan - but this way pretty fun! Great ab workout!!! Today was also my "break" day from the competition meal plan and I would use the extreme meal plan today - what a nice and needed change of pace - I missed my cheese and fruit!

Day 4: I've been saying this forever - "I am going to get up early and workout", but I never do! Well today I did it! Go ME! Leg day - ummm yeah - enough said, right? Love working legs because of two things. One, they are the largest muscle in your body so while working them you burn a ton of calories and working muscle helps increase calorie burn all day long. Two, my inner thighs have always been a problem area of mine - so thanks for the weighted soma squats, Autumn!



Went to the Children's Museum - all the salads were premade - with cheese! When I asked if I could have one without cheese they said NO!!! What?!! Okay, time to improvise!

Day 5: Cardio - ummm, with weights, after leg day - are you sure? I was a sweaty, sweaty mess... Very challenging to add weights to cardio! Loved the challenge, but had to decrease my weights to protect my form

Day 6: Dirty 30 Extreme - Just when you thought you were going to get a break!!! I love Dirty 30 cause it is a great "once over" of your whole body... but this was pretty intense, and left me wondering - Will my legs ever get a break? lol

Day 7 - Used today to prep and plan for a successful week ahead - I plan what time I am going to workout, my meals, and I prep  food to make the week go a little smoother and decrease temptation... you will see Thursday dinner is blank - trying to research something new! If not it will be the same old boring chicken! Yoga before bed and excited to weigh in tomorrow morning!
