Finally!! An easy plan put together just for you to help you drop a few pounds (going on vacation, wedding, or an important event), if you want to break some bad habits, or if you totally fell off the wagon and you want a fresh start to your healthy regimen! 

What is the Refresh:
The 3- Day Refresh consists of 3 daily shakes, a fiber drink, plenty of filtered water, plus a wide variety of fresh fruits, veggies, and healthy fats though out the day to keep fueling your body and increasing your metabolism.

What you will eat and drink during the 3- Day Refresh:
1. Wake up- Drink 8-12 oz filtered water

2. Breakfast (within an hour of waking up)- Shakeology + fruit (from the list provided)

*Option for Green Tea

3. Mid-morning- FIBER SWEEP (digestive health drink)

4. Lunch- Vanilla FRESH (high protein, hunger-satisfying shake) + options from the fruit, veggie, and healthy fat list

5. Afternoon snack- From the fruit, veggie, or juice option list

*Option for Green Tea

6. Dinner- Vanilla FRESH + a meal from dinner recipe list

*Option for Green Tea

What is the Vanilla FRESH shake?
A high protein vanilla shake not only helps satisfy your hunger though out the day, but delivers essential nutrition your body needs for healthy weight loss.
This is also a perfect source of fiber, and it is DAIRY FREE and SOY FREE!

Nutrition Facts for Vanilla FRESH:
Plant protein - 20 gm
22 essential vitamins and minerals
Probiotics to promote digestive and immune health
Clinically tested potato protein extract to help curb hunger
No artificial flavors, color, preservatives, or sweeteners

What is the FIBER SWEEP DRINK?
A blend of soluble and insoluble fibers that gently and naturally eliminates waste from your digestive system, while supporting healthy intestinal flora.

- It is created from whole-ground flax, chia, and psyllium seed husks, FIBER SWEEP is an excellent source of fiber for digestive health

-Wholesome psyllium fiber can help naturally lower cholesterol and support healthy good sugar levels as a part of a healthy diet

- Flax and Chia are sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids

When should you start the 3-Day Refresh?
Many people start the Refresh on Friday morning so they can stay focused and disciplined through the weekend- while others may prefer to follow this during the week to avoid temptation of weekend activities. 
This is totally YOUR CALL of how and when you want to start this.  Bottom line- you want results and to make this a healthy lifestyle, it should be a good time when you decide they day YOU WANT TO COMMIT!

What to expect while on the Refresh:
This is NOT a starvation diet or an all-liquid diet, although it is low in calories (approx. 900 a day). You should not feel starved since it is packed with fiber and protein and you are nourishing your body properly. 

About the FIBER:
If you are not use to having lots of fiber in your regimen, I recommend you eat a large salad daily and a few servings of fresh veggies for the week up until your Refresh.  If you are not use to all the fiber and overload your body with fiber, you may feel uncomfortable gassy and bloating.  This is also a sign of your body cleaning itself up, which is what it is meant to do.  After you do this Refresh, you will want to increase your fiber levels in general (which is part of a healthy nutrition regimen).  
Fiber promotes satiety, helps balance blood sugar, and thus energy levels, promotes cardiovascular health, and keeps your digestive tract more regular.  It of course also helps you stay healthy and helps you lose weight! 

Water:
It is recommended that you drink tons of water, especially if you want the fiber to do its job right! How you know you get the right amount of water is by taking your weight / 2 and that number is how many ounces of water you should intake every day.
Example: My weight is 130.... 130/2= 65.... 65 ounces is what I need every day (not including your water for your shakes).
*Some people will drink 1 gallon to help maximize their result, which is an approach I personally used and love! It also helps you feel fuller and know the difference between hunger vs. boredom. 

Exercise:
During the 3-Day Refresh, it is recommended that you incorporate MILD to MODERATE exercise. This is because the 3 -Day Refresh will use your energy more effectively to help cleanse your system if you are not, at the same time, taxing it with the effort of repairing muscle after an intense workout.

So now you have it! A simple plan, for fast results! I am so excited this plan is out because this is perfect for so many people out there looking for results the natural way without putting chemicals and toxins in their body!

Wednesday was our first big day! We had an Elite celebration and I was in awe when I got to the reception/cocktail party! We had first chance to purchase from the CORE which is the store with all the Beachbody swag!! I was able to bring a guest with me, so I chose my cousin Michael, who was my very first diamond! This was seriously the most memorable night for me... I remember walking in and seeing that star with my name on it, and then Tony Horton was standing right there!! I was handed a gift and asked to sign my star! Nothing like feeling like a celebrity for a day right?!?  It was so nice to get pictures with everyone and just meet people you see all the time on Facebook, but never have the opportunity to talk face to face!

 One of my favorite sessions at summit was Daren Hardy, writer of Compound Effect which was my first Personal Development book I ever read! How awesome it was to actually see him in person!!
He actually was even more impressive than in his book and his book is amazing!!
He talks about failure and how you cannot let failure be a characteristic of who you are... Failure happens to everyone, even the most successful people! His childhood was full of failures, but that was only a perfect way to create who he is today- a successful person!  Turning failure into fun is how you over come your obstacles and weaknesses and turn them into strengths that one day you can look back and say "I DID IT" and "IM STRONGER BECAUSE OF THAT!"

Week 2 Figure Competition Prep!

~NPC FIGURE WEEK 2 PREP~

So this was the first FULL week of me back at the gym lifting weights in 4 yrs!! I cannot believe it has been that long since I actually was active in a gym, but I am so proud to say I got my body using home fitness programs through TEAM BEACHBODY and keeping up with my nutrition using SHAKEOLOGY!

I was able to find my abs and lots of toning and strength in my upper body! 

If you want to learn to do push ups and tricep push ups in your sleep, PiYo is going to get you there for sure! Oh and the flexibility you get from the program is UNREAL!!!

If you are wanting to get involved with the new PiYo workout, I will say it is great for ANYONE!! Whether you have back or knee injuries, this program is low impact and no jumping!!
Not only does the program have great exercises for your body, but the nutrition guide is EASY and will show you RESULTS!!





If you want support, motivation, and accountability to get your ultimate health and fitness results, fill out my challenge group application at the bottom! 


My PiYo test group will start June 14th! This is the first group after my Beachbody test group for the company! Get ready to tone, and gain strength and flexibility you never had!




Back to my 2nd week of training! You now know what my morning workouts consist of, and I am separating my lifting days by Leg day, back, shoulders, arms (bis and triceps).

I am only doing my arms once every 3 weeks or so because I have too much going on there.. I need to bring out my shoulders to have more of a V shape! My legs are what I really need to work on.. so that is twice a week.. I already did hamstrings and glutes as a separate day and tomorrow I will be focusing on quads!  

My post workouts are fast paced paced on very very high incline on the treadmill.  I am not use to all this low impact exercise, but its definitely working!! Its crazy to know all these years, I thought the only way to get results is by killing my body, sprinting, and jumping up and down! Totally not the case!!

Let me just tell you how important it is to be on a strict regimen.. I have found myself on top of my nutrition now that I am holding myself accountable and made this goal of doing my figure show in October!  I am doing weekly meal plans, prepping all my food, and really focusing on eating every 2 and 3 hours.  It is definitely very hard to do, especially when you have to force food in your mouth when your not even hungry, but I know its for the best and will pay off!! I know its so early in the game, and will get much harder, but I can definitely handle this! I am doing All chicken (6 oz each meal), egg whites (6-10), and my Shakeology shakes with 1/2 scoop whey protein for my protein intake.  For my heavy carbs, I am doing sweet potatoes and oatmeal. I also am doing 2 apples a day.  For my veggies, I have green beans, peppers, and salads this week.  It is so easy to prep when you eat the same thing every day!!
One of my favorite days was LEG DAY! Its totally a love/hate relationship... Hate- because I can barely walk after my workout and days after... Love- because I get to eat WHATEVER I WANT within an hour of my workout LOL!

I even ordered an appetizer which I NEVER DO!! I took my kids with me and had a date!! I ate those nachos with chili and guacamole so fast people probably thought I never ate before lol!!


Then of course my main entree came and I devoured that too like it was nobodies business!! It was a bonus that I was able to have my spicy ranch with my seasoned fries!!

I felt terrible for the first hour after, but surprisingly, I was fine after and the next day, did not feel bad at all!! I guess this is what happens when you are that strict every other day!! You can afford that cheat meal and you wont have to feel guilty!!

I can definitely tell my metabolism is increasing since doing PiYo and now incorporating weights into my routine! I am so darn excited about really being serious about this competition!! My body does not feel deprived of nutrients, energy, or sleep! I am feeling amazing and like a million bucks!! Lets see in a couple months if this changes lol!!

Well I think I am done for now, today was my off day for weights, but I did do cardio, so Saturday is a weight day, and Sunday is another off day for weights, but will continue cardio 7 days a week for now!

Next week I am in Vegas for Beachbody and I am sooooooo excited to come back and share all my exciting news with everyone!! I have lots going on, so you definitely want to stay tuned!!!

My weight problems began several years ago when I quit smoking and gained a little weight.  I became depressed, went on antidepressants, and gained a little more weight.  Then menopause hit, and I gained even more weight!  I tried every weight loss method I could.  I thought I was eating well and exercising enough at the gym, but the weight wouldn’t come off!  Then I talked to Deidra Penrose one night at work.  She told me first about Shakeology, but I just wasn’t ready to commit.  Then we talked about the exercise programs, and still I wasn’t quite ready to invest in it all.  It took me a year to realize that I needed her help.  In January, I started drinking Shakeology every day.  Then at the end of March, I started the T25 exercise program with the 21 Day Fix meal plan.  The weight started dropping off immediately;  I felt more energy than I have in years; my migraine headaches dropped from 2-3 per week to once a month; and all those aches and pains from working 12-hour shifts just seemed to disappear!  Today I hit my first big goal of 25 pounds!  I still have 10-15 pounds to go, and a lot more toning to do, but I feel amazing!  I couldn’t have done it without the Beachbody products and the incredible support of my coach, Deidra, and the Team Beachbody community!  I recently became a Beachbody coach so I could show women over the age of 40 that it IS possible to lose that weight and feel good about yourself again!  I want to help others fall in love with their bodies again!!
