New Year New You!

I decided to go back and dig out my very first before picture from my start of Focus T25 in January 2014. I remember joining my first challenge group completely blind, having no idea what I was doing, had never done a home fitness program before the whole way through, and I had never even heard of Shakeology or clean eating! But I was definitely at the breaking point where I had to do something and I had to do it now! I was absolutely miserable; I felt horrible all the time, I constantly had to buy new (bigger) clothes to replace the ones I was outgrowing, and I had a horrible attitude about everything.

 
Though I had a gym membership, living so far away from it wasn’t working for me to get there consistently. I knew myself; I knew I would stick with it for a week or two at most and then quit! So I figured this was a better bet because I also didn’t have the confidence to work out in front of other people. I was afraid I would be judged for being so overweight, when in high school I had been so very thin. We didn't have a designated area for workout space but I made room in our living room, pushing the coffee table to the side.
Every morning at 4:30 I would drag myself out of bed and press play! It was ugly. I was out of shape, I cried, and I wanted to quit! But the one thing I kept saying is this, "I wanted to change more than I wanted to stay the same." My husband and I want to be parents some day, and I needed to make this change to a) make getting pregnant a little easier, b) have a healthier pregnancy once we do conceive, and c) lead the kind of healthy life we want for our kids some day. I don’t want them to grow up seeing mommy crying when she looks into a mirror. I don’t want them to have the same kind of negative feelings about themselves that I did. I want them to be healthy, and be able to run around and play like kids should do.
So every day I pushed play, and I had faith in the process! I knew that if I followed the workout calendar and the nutrition guide I would get results. It was tested and proven! For me going to the gym meant wandering around aimlessly doing random machines hoping what I was doing would produce results. Then I would come home and eat back all my burned off calories because I had “earned it”! I had no idea how nutrition played into my results.
So 60 days later, 20 lbs gone, faith in the process, a genuine love for challenge groups and coaching I became a believer! I was skeptical that a home fitness program would work but honestly when you make fitness, nutrition, and accountability the way that Beachbody does it, the only way you won't succeed is if you don't follow the plan!!!!!
I am a believer! The cool part is that I get to inspire hope and change in others now too!
January 5th------> It's your time! ARE YOU IN???? It's time to believe that you are meant for CHANGE, HEALTH and a life FULL OF ENERGY!
New YEAR, NEW YOU!!!!!

7-8 ice cubes, as desired
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

21 Day Fix

21 Day Fix

This program is an awesome one for those who don't have a ton of time to work out, and who understand that to see results, they'll really need to dial in on that nutrition piece. From celebrity trainer Autumn Calabrese, the 21 Day Fix comes with a set of color-coded containers. Based on your caloric needs, you get a certain number of each container per day. There's a corresponding list of REAL foods for each container; if it fits in the container, you get to eat it! It is really that easy. Plus, it is way more food than what you think it is...trust me! When I actually measured out my food for the first time, I thought, "there's no way I can eat all this!" You'll be full, you'll be eating real foods, and coupled with these no-joke workouts, you WILL see results! 

If you're new to working out, or it's been awhile and you're out of shape, don't fret. This program is still for you. There is a modifier in every single workout which makes the moves very do-able, yet you'll still get an awesome calorie burn! 

Better yet, when coupled with Shakeology through a Challenge Pack purchase, you'll get ME as your FREE coach, and the support of a group to help you stay accountable and help with motivation and support! https://teambeachbody.com/checkout/-/bbcheckout/challengepack?referringRepId=362976

Focus T25

Focus T25 is the brain-child of superstar trainer Shaun T. Workouts are only 25 minutes long and you'll leave in a puddle of sweat and burn a bunch of calories!

There are two phases: alpha and beta. Both are five weeks long and each week rotates through the different workouts. The alpha round is a lot of cardio, and beta round incorporates hand weights into some of the exercises in addition to the cardio-based formula.

This was an AWESOME program, and I lost 25 pounds by combining it with clean eating!!!

P90X3

If you don't have a lot of time to work out, and still want a great burn and way to really tone those muscles, Tony Horton's P90X3 is an AWESOME workout!!!! These short, targeted, and intense workouts are only 30 minutes long, but work you hard. With these shorter workouts, you'll have no more excuses as to why you can't exercise.

Here's why I love P90X3
1. The time. I work full time, I'm a wife, and I'm also a full time PhD student working on my dissertation. I don't have hours to spend at the gym.
2. The convenience. I didn't need a lot of equipment to be successful with this program. Dum-bells in a few different weights (or resistance bands), a way to do pullups (or a door attachment for a resistance band), and a yoga mat. That's it. I didn't need to spend a ton of money on this stuff either.
3. It's fun! Wait, what?! You read that correctly, this program is FUN! I LOVE Tony Horton and his sense of humor! There were so many of these workouts where I would bust out laughing in the middle of an exercise because he's hysterical!
4. The burn. You will work your tushy off. Though I didn't lose a lot of pounds with this program, I lost a TON of inches and got so so so so so so strong! I have biceps now! I never had them before. I was blow-drying my hair one morning, saw a bicep that wasn't there the week before, and I yelled, "Oh my gosh!" My husband, thinking something was wrong, came running into the bathroom to ask what had happened, as this was like 5:45 in the morning. When I showed him "the guns" he was quite impressed. :-) He has huge arms from working in construction, so they're nowhere near his, but they're still fantastic, nice, lean sexy muscles!
5. The "Whoa, you can do a pull up? But you're a girl!" That's right. You just saw that.
6. The "Holy crap girl, you look AMAZING!" You know it baby! :-) hehehe!

Italian Turkey Meatballs

-->

Italian Turkey Meatballs

1 pound ground turkey

15 crushed whole wheat crackers

½ tsp oregano

¼ tsp Italian seasoning

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together in a larger bowl, making sure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Lightly spray a 9X13 cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Take approximately 1-2 tablespoons

of turkey mixture, and roll into balled shape, then place in cake pan.


Continue with the rest of the turkey. Cover loosely with foil, then bake for approximately 45 minutes. Remove foil, and continue to bake for another 15 minutes or until meatballs are lightly browned.

Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then enjoy!!! Try it with this spaghetti squash-yummy!

Perfect Spaghetti Squash

-->

Perfect Spaghetti Squash

Cut squash in half length-wise. 

Scoop out seeds from the middle, then place cut side up on a baking sheet. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees. 

Remove from oven, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Holding up one half at a time over a larger bowl, use a fork to scrape out the fleshy part of the squash in strings like spaghetti noodles. Top with your favorite spaghetti toppings, like my turkey meatballs with organic spaghetti sauce!

Cookies and Cream Shakeology

Cookies and Cream Shakeology

Ice, to taste (I use 7 ice cubes to make my shake nice and thick)
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 Quest Cookies & Cream bar
1 scoop vanilla Shakeology

In a blender, crush ice. Cut the Quest bar into half, then chop that half into smaller pieces. Add those pieces to the blender with the crushed ice, along with the milk and vanilla Shakeology. Blend until all ingredients are mixed well. Pour into a cup, and enjoy!

Whole wheat pita pizza

Whole Wheat Pita Pizza

Love eating clean, but miss your pizza nights? Now you can have the best of both worlds! This is a very easy recipe, and when made with high quality ingredients, can put a healthy spin on an old favorite. Look for products with as few ingredients as possible. If you're in the Pennsylvania area, try the whole wheat pita pockets and organic pizza sauce from Giant...super delicious! I can only find the Cacique cheese in my small town at Walmart, but it's the best brand for my taste buds.


Ingredients:
Whole wheat pitas with a pocket
Organic pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese (avoid the already shredded kind if at all possible. There are unnecessary additives that keep the cheese shreds from sticking to one another).
Assorted toppings (veggies, etc.)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Using a grater, grate desired amount of mozzarella cheese. Place pita on a baking sheet (the stone bakeware works best for me!).

Spoon out desired amount of pizza sauce and spread out, stopping approximately 1/4" to 1/2" from the edge of the pita. Add cheese on top, spreading out to just beyond the cheese to 'seal' it in.

Top with whatever veggies you'd like to add, then bake in oven for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until cheese melts to a nice bubbly-just starting to brown. Remove from oven carefully, and let cool for a minute or so, then cut and enjoy!!! The cheese may melt a little off center, but that certainly doesn't affect its taste, haha!

Peaches and Cream Shakeology

Peaches and Cream

1 scoop of Vanilla Shakeology

1 cup frozen sliced peaches

2/3 cup water

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Ice, to taste (I like 7-8 ice cubes in mine)

Crush ice in blender, then add all remaining ingredients. Blend until mixed thoroughly, then enjoy!

Orange Dream Shakeology

Orange Dream

1 scoop of Vanilla Shakeology

½ cup 100% orange juice

½ cup water

½ tsp grated orange peel

Ice, to taste (I like 7-8 ice cubes in mine)

Crush ice in blender, then add all remaining ingredients. Blend until mixed thoroughly, then enjoy!
