T25 WEEK 4 complete!

T25 WEEK 4

This week went pretty awesome!!  I stuck to my meals, and did have a couple table spoons of peanut butter, but nothing crazy like I use to!! J I would call that an improvement for sure!! Its all about taking baby steps.. they are steps forward, and before you know it, you will notice a huge difference, without depriving yourself from what you enjoy!!  I drank my SHAKEOLOGY everyday of course, and got all of my workouts in! I have been drinking lots of water and nothing else, other than my almond milk that goes in my shakes!!

Here are some of the meals I ate...

Pesto Lemon Chicken Pasta
Black Bean, corn, and edamame salad

Turkey Meatloaf made with salsa and veggie stir-fry

Plain Greek Yogurt with Kiwi, 1/4 cup kashi go lean mixed berry cereal





Quinoa Salad and turkey meatloaf

 I am so excited for my weigh in Tuesday and measurements to see how much has changed with T25 in the past 4 ½ weeks!! Other than the challenge group I am in now  with my group, I have a couple other groups, and my one group hit their 60 day mark!  I am so beyond excited about their results because they are not just looking at the scale, they are looking at their overall health!!  This means so much to me, because I feel they are learning the right way!  This is how to make it a lifestyle!! This is what they had to say about their 60 day mark…

I think you can say I am one proud coach for what my challengers have accomplished!! 

Are you interested in getting into the best shape of your life, along with getting rid of all those bad habits that stop you from reaching your goals?! 

I am starting a BODY BEAST challenge group starting Aug 26th for men and women!! This group is about lifting weights, speeding up that metabolism, learning healthy eating habits, and keeping yourself accountable to reach your goals and I will be the one to motivate you throughout your journey!!

Watch this video to see what its all about!!

MY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SINCE I STARTED GETTING HEALTHY WITH BEACH BODY!

Today Is such a special day for me… 1 year ago, I started my transformation by joining a challenge group using Beach Body products.  I was definitely skeptical because #1. I didn’t have the money after having my second child and had 2 in diapers, going part-time, and building a house, #2. I did not even know if the products work, and #3. I didn’t have time with two kids, along with finishing school.  I could have used those excuses, but I trusted my gut and went with it.  What is the worst that can happen right!?  I started out with Insanity Aug 6^th 2012 and went all the way.. SHAKEOLOGY once daily, workouts 5-6 days a week (INSANITY), and eating healthy.. I was getting results, but did not feel they were coming fast enough.. Did that stop me?!? NO!! Im not one to quit so easily!! Also, you don’t know if it works, until you finish it!! Here, as I was slowly making progress, IT WAS STILL PROGRESS!! Every 30 days I was making changes (slowly), until looking at 90 days when I finished my challenge.. Those 30 day marks added up and now looking at the big picture, I had awesome results!! I changed my eating habits, build strength with my workouts, had more energy, and felt amazing!! It was not until after my challenges, that I was so excited with my results that I had to do this myself and coach others in challenge groups to watch them transform into their own success stories!! This is what I do now.. I watch people live a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle and it feels AMAZING!! This is one of the best opportunities I have had and it is all because I decided to participate in a challenge group! I know if I hadn’t, I would not be where I am today!  I have officially completed INSANITY, TURBO FIRE, ULTIMATE RESET, and ON T25 with a little P90X adn LES MILLS COMBAT! THANK YOU BEACH BODY!!

Now for how today went.. Great!! I am so motivated right now and am taking advantage of my opportunity to be healthy! This morning I had a new shake!! 

Pina Colada SHAKEOLOGY

• 1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
• 6 oz organic all natural pineapple juice
• 1/2 c pineapple chunks
• 2 oz c water
• A few pieces of ice
• Blend!

SHAKEOLOGY is not only good for you, but great for your kids!! My 1 and 2 yr old LOVE their SHAKEOLOGY!! They even fight over the next sip!! :) This is what being healthy is all about.. SHARING HEALTH with your family!! I wouldn't have this any other way!! 

I did my T25 of course, total body circuit (Its a killer!!)
I followed my meal plan as I planned and I feel great!  I had an apple and string cheese for a snack

Lunch: Quinoa salad and turkey meatloaf

Snack: Black bean, corn, and  edamame salad (under my recipes)

Dinner: Artichoke Lemon Pesto Chicken Pasta (under my recipes)

Snack: Kale chips (did not need my extra shake)

Just a little tip: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!  DON'T GIVE INTO THOSE SMALL TEMPTATIONS THAT ARE ONLY TEMPORARY... LOOK FOR THE LONG TERM SATISFACTION!! :)
