HEATHER M- Physician Assistant and Wife Turbo Fire and Shakeology Transformation

Heather M- TRANSFORMATION STORY

I’ve never really considered myself “fat,” but always “chubby/chunky”.  I’ve always hated how I looked in a bathing suit and I never was comfortable in my clothes.  I got married about 3 years ago and gained a good bit of weight afterwards.  I feel I just got too comfortable and let myself go.

What actually got me motivated was your transformation story - I saw your amazing results with the challenge group you did.  I had been going to the gym, and had a personal trainer, but it didn’t seem to be giving me results.  I needed to try something new.

I was skeptical at first- to be honest I wasn’t sure of SHAKEOLOGY.  It was expensive and I figured it would be one of those meal replacements that left me starving.  I also wasn’t sure I would stick to the at home workout since I could easily get out of doing it. 

The challenge group was fabulous!  It really held me accountable and it was nice to be in a group with other individuals striving for the same goal.  It gave me just enough push to great results.  Not only was it great support but also it gave me an education on not only working out, but nutrition.  That was exactly what I was missing with the gym.  I also learned to have a cheat meal- not a whole day.  I was super guilty of that before.

I absolutely loved TURBO FIRE- it was the perfect workout for me.  It never got repetitive or old.  Chalene pushes you throughout the program to work harder and push further.  I really enjoyed that.  SHAKEOLOGY- I was total wrong.  Not only did it taste great, but it really did keep me satisfied.  There are so many different recipes to use it never got old either.  It actually made life easier for me.  At work, I don’t get breaks often.  It was easy to drink it while I was working, instead of what I did prior and that was to grab whatever food I could eat at my desk, and it was normally crappy food.

This experience has been amazing.  I have a new sense of confidence.  I’m finally comfortable in my own skin and look forward to being in a bathing suit now.  I have learned so much.  The best thing I’ve learn is this is not a diet or a fad- it’s truly a lifestyle change.  The challenge group gave me the tools and the education to make that change.  I can say I am happy, healthy and can not wait for even more results as I continue through this journey!

Heather has made a complete lifestyle change since joining my challenge group using TURBO FIRE and SHAKEOLOGY!  This is only 60 days of hard work and dedication, and committing herself.. She busy, works swing shifts, 12 hr shifts, has a husband and family, but still makes time for herself!  I am amazed at Heather's results and complete different way of thinking about health and fitness!!

FOCUS T25 WEEK 3 DAY 5

WEEK 3 DAY 5 T25

All I have to say is TGIF!!  I am soooo happy to have the weekend finally here to be with my family and off work!! WOOOHOOO!! Since I did not do my workout yesterday, I did it this morning at 4 am before going into work.  I did T25 CARDIO and holy high heart rate is all I have to say!! I drank my E&E like I do every morning prior to my workout, but this morning, I did my workout 15 min after drinking it…usually I end up doing my posts on the computer and end up starting 30 min after my workout.  So I will say I can notice a HUGE difference with my endurance and my performance when I follow the rules with drinking my E&E!  I have a difficult time getting my heart rate up, and it literally was in the 180’s for a lot longer than I ever had it! I felt amazing after, but was having pain in my right lung from busting my butt lol!! That is some cardio training right there!! Don’t ever say you cannot do a good workout in 25 minutes, because it is all what YOU make of it!!!

I LOVE FLEX FRIDAYS!!!

My meals were pretty good, although I did have a little cheat today..

Breakfast:GREENBERRY SHAKEOLOGY

Snack: 1 small apple, Greek yogurt (key lime- my desert)

Lunch: large chicken salad with feta, cranberries, tomato, and oil and vinegar dressing. Unfortunately, I am not done yet.. I had 2 deviled eggs which equals 1 whole egg, some black bean and corn salad (only had 3 bites but tasted awesome!) and then the bad part, ½ cup macaroni salad..The good thing about it is I had it during the day where Im moving and burning calories.

Snack: 1 oz almonds

Dinner: lean homemade meatballs (6 small) and spinach salad with cranberry, walnuts, feta, oil and vinegar

Its 8pm and Im short on my water, so I am going to chug 20 oz right after this so I have my amount in that I need!! No more snacks since I had a big meal today and I am full!!

T25 DAY 7~

Today was the last day for my first week of T25! Today I did my 2 extra workouts to make up for my off days this week, so I did cardio, and abs! They definitely gave me a sweat! Here was my meals plan...

Breakfast: Egg whites with bruschetta, reduced fat feta and 1 slice Ekekiel bread
Snack: black bean chips with laughing cow cheese
Lunch: veggie spicy chicken burger
snack: 2 reduced fat graham crackers with natural Peanut Butter
Dinner: SHAKEOLOGY (Strawberry Cheesecake)
Snack: 1 cup kashi go lean mixed berry Cereal

I do feel like I need to improve since the past few days, I have already fallen off a little.  I am OK saying this because, YES I am A Beach Body Coach, BUT I am also HUMAN!! So, my goal for next week, is to have 1 off meal, and stay on track with ALL of my meals! Now, I will be at the beach, BUT I will be grocery shopping tomorrow for everything I need, so I have NO excuses!!  Also, I will keep up with my water intake!! Water is the only liquid I intake, so I do not have issues with that, it is just the amount that I need, sometimes I forget to drink.. I usually do really well when I set myself up to drink 16 oz water 30 min before I eat.. This helps me get the amount of water in I need, along with helping me stay full for longer! 

Excited to start WEEK 2 tomorrow!!!

Vanilla Shakeology

People have been asking for 2 years, WHY NO VANILLA SHAKEOLOGY??? Since we value our shakes so much, co-founder of Beach Body Carl Daikeler , Isabelle Daikeler, and Darin Olien was not going to use just any ingredients to make SHAKEOLOGY.  They use ingredients from all over the world, but only where the soil and air is best for the crops to grow.  After searching and searching, the perfect Vanilla Bean was found in the jungles of Madagascar where the farmers hand pollinate delicate vanilla orchids, hand harvest the beans, and then sun cure them to bring out the  robust flavor, without removing the nutrition from the plant! 

What can SHAKEOLOGY do for you:

Give you ENERGY

Curbs CRAVINGS

Helps with WEIGHT LOSS

Reduce the risk of Heart Disease

Why Shakeology over other popular name brand shakes/diets? First off, I am a coach that helps people reach their health and fitness goals, whether it be losing weight, toning, or bulk.  What I do is NOT a diet… it is simply a LIFESTYLE!  I teach people to live off of what they do, eat regular food, not starving yourself, but keeping your metabolism increased, and getting enough nutrients in your body to stay healthy and add years to your life! 

Why SHAKEOLOGY? Shakeology is NOT a protein shake, it is a MEAL REPLACEMENT full of dense nutrition.  If you want to compare nutritional facts, that is perfectly fine, BUT I assure you, you will not be getting the answer by looking just at nutritional content.  Look at the ingredients you are taking in, and the benefits of each ingredient.  If you have any education on nutrition, you will notice EVERY ingredient (over 70) are ALL NATURAL, NON GMO, and EVERY single ingredient has some kind of benefit to your body.  Our VEGAN SHAKEOLOGY is WHEAT FREE, SOY FREE, & GLUTEN FREE!

What these ingredients do:

Amino Acids and protein- Help rebuild and repair muscle tissue after being broken down from working out,  improves your immune system and fight disease, and reduce cravings.

Digestive enzymes and prebiotics- Helps regulate your digestive system, keep you regular, and helps you absorb nutrients

Anti-oxidants and phytonutrients- reverse damage done to your by disease causing free radicals. Reduce the risk of heart disease.

Now, Back to VANILLA!!

Vanilla Benefits:

Fights Cancer- Anti-oxidants block free radicals -- substances known to cause cancer and aging

Helps with relaxation- The scent of vanilla has a calming effect that can complement traditional treatments for anxiety.

Kills Bacteria- They found that vanillin inhibited the growth of all strains. Vanillin appeared to be most effective in foods with low pH values

DON”T LIKE VEGGIES??? Don’t worry, 1 glass of Shakeology is like going to the salad bar 6 times!!

Don’t have time to prepare meals every day, don’t worry, have a glass of SHAKEOLOGY!

HOW MUCH DOES SHAKEOLOGY COST? You can purchase a month of SHAKEOLOGY for 129$, which gives you 1 month supply.  This comes out to 4$ per day for an entire meal! Yes, all of these NATURAL ingredients in ONE shake! This saves you one meal for an entire month of spending on ingredients at the grocery store, going to fast food (burger king, Arby’s, McDonalds, or even Starbucks) and spending way more than 4$ without the nutrition and health benefits! 

It’s easy, tastes great, nutritious, and you can make more than just shakes with it! 

This is by far, my FAVORITE VIDEO CLIP EVER with SHAKEOLOGY!! Please watch and get a laugh, but also, notice the actual ingredients in these shakes!! Now you will see why we value our shakes!!!

Day 5 & 6 T25~

So yesterday, we went away to visit family, and it was not so bad at all! I did not do a workout (Doing them Sat and Sun),  but did eat fairly well throughout the day, considering not being home.  Here was my meal plan:

Breakfast: Shakeology

Snack: fat free string cheese, almonds

Lunch: Chili's- Steak fajita trio without the wraps, sourcream,  or guacamole. Extra water

Snack: salsa and tortilla chips (BAD!! )

Dinner: chicken with veggies from my mother’s garden (a huge zucchini baked with feta and tomatoes) which was awesome!!

I felt like an elephant for eating the chips and not working out did not help one bit.. I think the grease from Chili’s was not the greatest either… Better days ahead.. we’re human, it happens!

Saturday, I woke up early and got my workout in (lower body), then I had a fun event promoting beach body and helping people get healthy!! My fellow coach and I were at Safety Day at a Fire Hall where we had a table and had samples of Shakeology, Shakeology no-bake cookies, and discussed all the workouts and supplements that BEACH BODY has.  Our goal was to find people interested in joining us at our FIT club and to motivate people who are ready to make that lifestyle change, to join us on a journey  to a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle!

While we were there, we drank some samples of SHAKEOLOGY  (maybe had a total of 1 serving, including 3 small shakeo balls), some BBQ habanero almonds (amazing), and drank lots of water since we were in the heat! 

For lunch we had subway (stuck with whole wheat and 6 in bread- portion control).

 Snack: fat free string cheese

Dinner: Chicken Fajitas with peppers and onion, on whole wheat wrap with salsa and jalapenos!

Now I am drained from today and ready for bed so I can wake up and enjoy yet another beautiful day!! 

T25 CHALLENGE DAY 1

Day 1 of T25 :

Day 1 went awesome!! I was prepared mentally and physically and that sets me up for success!! Although I had to work a 10 hr shift, that did not stop me from getting my workout in at 4 am!! I woke up and yes, its difficult, but I also had more energy throughout the day than if I were to sleep in and rush around!

 I had all my necessities to have a great workout...

1. My water

2. My polar watch to count my calories

3. My sweat towel

4. ME and my workout!!

Off to work feeling full of energy and.... ferocious!!! HAHA

I felt full of energy the entire day and ate great!! I had my Vanilla SHAKEOLOGY for breakfast of course, Plain Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries/strawberries for snack, grilled chicken and Greek spinach salad for lunch with vinegar and oil dressing.  For my next snack was raw peppers and hummus and some edamame, and for dinner I was out at a restaurant for a retirement party, so I had Mediterranean Chicken with 1/2 serving of sweet potato fries and Greek salad.  Yes, I ate 1 piece of bread too.. My dinner could have been much better so I did not need anything else that evening, except my water!!!

Now, to hold myself accountable.. I will post my before pics and measurements!! I def need to tone my arms and legs a lot more and wouldn't mind toning my stomach a little more too!!! I always seem to hold my fat in my arms, not sure why.. BLAHHH!! So here it is.. time to keep myself motivated and accountable!!
