October FITNESS CHALLENGE- Get FIT in just 21 DAYS!

21 Days is all it takes... Yes, I said it!! 

Will you give that to me and let me help you?!

I am looking for men, women, mommies, people who are ready to commit to a new healthy lifestyle change!! I know losing weight is not easy, whether its 50 pounds, or even when you are trying to lose those last 10 stingy pounds that seems like will NEVER get off! 

So I am here to help YOU finally reach that goal!

What do most people struggle with when it comes to their health and fitness goals?

• Enough time to make it to the gym
• Time to have healthy food available
• Commitment because you may not have the support at home (or have anyone who really needs to lose weight or does not have goals they need to reach)
• Nutrition- YUP, a biggie! We are emotional and binge eaters (YES, I can admit to that too!) 

One thing I have learned in my time as a personal trainer and now a full time online health and fitness coach is that support groups give you EVERYTHING YOU NEED (at least in mine ;P) 

What is so important about great about these Support Groups/Challenge Groups?

• You get me as your mentor DAILY
• You get DAILY motivation and accountability
• You get support from myself AND the other challengers in the group that have similar goals as you
• You get daily recipes, nutrition, or fitness tips
• You get tips and ideas on meal prepping to save you time during that busy schedule of yours (don't worry, we all know about it, we all are busy too, but we all have the same 24 hours in the day!) It's all about make the most use out of those 24 hours we have to help us get closer to our goals
• THIS is where you find results!! The key to success and happiness as you go through your journey and find what works for you, getting into good healthy habits and making it a lifestyle!

NOW... how in just 21 DAYS?!?

Ever heard of the 21 Day FIX?!

or 

21 Day FIX EXTREME?!

Depending on what intensity level you like your exercise, the 21 Day FIX is a beginner to intermediate program, whereas the 21 Day FIX EXTREME is for intermediate to advanced level of fitness.  

Both programs come with 30 minute workouts daily, a variety of exercises from cardio, weight training focusing on certain muscle groups, plyos, yoga, and pilates!  Yup, you get it all!  What I love about this so much is you are constantly tricking your body and increasing your metabolism and preventing your body from plateauing, which happens often when you are doing the same repetitive movements with exercise like certain weight training moves, or running on the treadmill. 

NUTRITION- 

Who does't struggle with portion control?!? Nutrition is 80% of your results, whether you are trying to lose weight, tone, or build muscle... it is necessary to fuel your body with the proper foods and nutrients.

Why I love the 21 DAY FIX and FIX EXTREME is because both programs are centered around portion control! You get containers that are color coated and each color will be the correct portion size you need of that food group.  

When you receive your book, you will calculate your recommended caloric intake and then it will tell you how many of which containers you need per day! That simple!! Simple can be successful!

One meal that I have found extremely helpful in my own fitness journey that I have incorporated since day 1 of my journey, is SHAKEOLOGY.  This is 1 meal, I know I am getting all my dense nutrition and superfoods that normal food I eat on a typical day does not give me.. I can eat all the spinach and juice as much as I want, but I still am not getting all the whole foods, vitamins, minerals, and health benefits that SHAKEOLOGY is giving me.  

Shakeology has a great protein to carb ratio, which means this is NOT a weight loss shake or diet shake... I do not believe in those.. those are temporary fixes, this has exactly what you need to keep you full longer because you are satisfying your body and fueling your body so you will not be hungry right after you drink your shake (or eat-- lots of yummy recipes you can make with it!).

Hopefully, you have some humor and will think this is as funny as I did, but this is Tony Horton, one of the creators of some of our home fitness programs such as P90 and P90X! This just comes to show what you are really getting in our health shakes and why they are of such high quality!

I am now recruiting NEW challengers who are serious about their health and fitness journey.... Men, women, mommies, who are ready to live a life of happiness, confidence, and fulfillment!

Southwest Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Nothing like a little clean dinner for the family!! When I'm eating dinner, I already have my carbs in so I stick to pretty much high lean protein, complex carbs such as veggies, and healthy fats.  So, instead of having a wrap, I substituted Romaine Heart lettuce leaves! 

This is perfect for people who are short with time and do not have hours to cook dinner! Easy, quick, & yummy!! :)

Southwest Turkey Lettuce Wraps

Servings 6 wraps

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lean ground turkey meat
• 1 packet low sodium medium taco seasoning
• 1% Shredded Cheese 1/4 cup
• 1 cup Fresh Salsa
• 1 cup Homemade Clean Guacamole
• Romaine Heart leaves (6)
• 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (to replace sour cream)
• 1 TBSP EVOO

Directions:

1. Cook lean turkey burger on skillet on medium high with 1 tbsp EVOO until fully cooked.  Add taco seasoning and cook for 2 more minutes.
2. Add ingredients to lettuce wraps as desired
3. ENJOY!! 

21 DAY FIX BREAKDOWN:

1 RED

1 GREEN

1 BLUE

1 TSP

*If you would like more daily tips, recipes, support and motivation, I would love to help you reach your ultimate goals!  Since I have been through the journey myself, I can give you my tips and tools that helped my overcome my struggles!  

We will incorporate a home fitness program of your choice with Beachbody, along with clean eating, and adding Shakeology once a day in place of any meal you prefer.  Shakeology is not a weight loss shake or a protein shake.  What is does provide us with is all your dense nutrition your body needs daily that we are not getting from our every day typical foods.  You will get 70+ natural ingredients and superfoods and all your vitamins and minerals.  As you fuel your body with the proper nutrients, you will find yourself having less cravings for sweets and and unhealthy foods and more of the clean foods!  Shakeology also has a great protein to carb ratio which then helps you stay fuller longer! 

I suggest eating every 3 hours and 6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism going strong throughout the day!  I also help you with meal planning and meal prepping so you are saving time and money throughout the week!

Please fill out the application below for a chance to be in my next fitness challenge! I will contact you with in the next 24 hours!  Can't wait to help you get started!!

Setting yourself up for success- Picking the right foods and MEAL PREPPING for the week!

So Saturday, I had an awesome opportunity to take my challenger to the grocery store and help her pick some healthy foods and prep her meals!! Yes, this is something I do for fun, but also when she told me she fell off my challenge group and couldn't do it because she didnt know where to start with meal prepping and picking the right foods, I had to step in!! There is NO reason why I couldn't help her get things going!! Thank goodness, she lives close by that I was able to do this!! It was our first time meeting, so it was awesome that I was able to connect with my challenger more than just on face book in our secret group!! 
So Saturday afternoon, we booked 3 hours together to go food shopping and prep her meals.  Since she used my recipes from my website, I could easily help her since I make them all the time!! Amanda is participating in my challenge group with using 21 DAY FIX and using SHAKEOLOGY, our health shake meal replacements, which I will talk more about!!

What recipes she used for the week:

Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwhich

English Muffin Pizzas

Brushetta Chicken

Honey Dijon Pork Chops

Clean Eating Stuffed Peppers

OFF TO GROCERY SHOP AND MEET MY CHALLENGER AMANDA  ON THIS LOVELY FALL DAY!!

 

Amandas grocery list for my recipes above (some items are not placed on here because she had some ingredients at home).

LOTS OF GOODIES..... APPLES, WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS, RICE CAKES,  ZUCCHINI, UNSWEETENED COCONUT, PEPPERS, CHICKEN, PORK CHOPS, AND YES, YOU SEE SUGAR FREE FAT FREE BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING MIX- THAT WOULD BE TO MAKE OUR BUTTERFINGER SHAKEOLOGY(health shake meal replacement full of your dense nutrition and super foods) LOL!! AMAZING!!! 

CHECKIN OUT!!! 

After we did our shopping, we went back to my house and prepped away!!! It literally took about 1 hour to get the food prepared and now all she needs to do is throw everything in the oven and walk away!! Now she has all her meals for the week!!! She is also incorporating SHAKEOLOGY as a breakfast every day to give her the nutrients and super foods that she is not getting with her every day food... By adding in her Shakeology, we are helping her increase her energy level, decrease bloating and cravings, and improve her overall heart health and digestion within 2 weeks!! This is exactly how I reached my health and fitness goals, so its time to pay it forward!!! 

 And she is ready to rock!!! Meals prepped, and she has officially set herself up for success for the week!!! It takes 21 days to get into a habit.  If you want to reach your health and fitness goals, the best way to reach them is to start!!
