Super Bowl Appetizers Revamped!!

According to USA Today, the Super Bowl is "only second behind Thanksgiving for the average amount of calories consumed in a day." Is it bad that that statistic didn't surprise me??? It's no wonder when there are so many appetizers, pizzas and beers flowing that in the matter of a couple hours some SERIOUS caloric damage can be done!!

But don't worry!! I have put together some great tips to help keep you in the "healthy lifestyle game" and not sitting on the bench with guilt and stomach cramps all night!! I've also compiled some of my favorite healthy Super Bowl party foods so you can celebrate without the super-high calories, fat, and sodium. Don't forget to get up at halftime and dance to the music or get outside to throw the ball with your friends, neighbors, and loved ones. That way you can enjoy some great food and keep moving too.

The key to any appetizer is to go in moderation.  It is not a meal and it is not a free pass to indulge because it is clean or healthy.  There is such a thing as too much of a good thing!!!  So while hummus and guacamole are good fats they can also be bad if you fill half your plate with them!

If you are attending a football party where you have no control over the menu here are a few suggestions:

1.  Pre-Eat:  Yup! Eat BEFORE you even leave your house! Don't rely on what is being provided and HOPE that it is clean!  Most likely it won't be.  Most parties wont even have a veggie tray or green salad to choose from!  I always have either a shake or a light but filling meal before I go.  Then, spend my time socializing and hanging out with people instead of mingling at the food buffet. I strategically place myself far from the buffet actually, because its SO easy to just be chatting and keep reaching down for anther chicken wing, egg roll or stuffed mushroom!

2.  Choose small plates:  Grab an appetizer plate and load up on veggies and fruit.  Stay away from creamy dips and fried foods.  The small plates will remind you to stay within your portion sizes.  When you have bigger plates you tend to feel the need to fill it up! Also eat slowly from this small plate. Just because its less food than you would put on a bigger plate doesn't mean that its your opportunity to scarf it down and go back for seconds or thirds!

3.  If there is something that you want to splurge on, evaluate the situation.  Is this what you want to splurge on? What else will you forgo instead?  Will you stay away from all other chips and cookies so you can have cake?  Will you stay away from Alcohol for chips?  Your choice, but you can't have a bangin body and eat your cake too!  The power is in your hands, how bad do you want it?

4.  Drink lots of water:  If you decide to have a few drinks, stay hydrated!  Go with your low calorie options like vodka and soda water with a splash of lemon or lime. And for every alcoholic beverage you should drink a large 12 oz glass of water.

5.  Stay away from certain ingredients:  Stay away from anything that is made with mayonnaise, cream cheese, sour cream or heavy cream and milk.  Lots of unwanted calories and fat hidden in there! It doesn't make a difference if it's low fat cream cheese, light sour cream or mayo it's still not a good option.  To clean up a recipe with those ingredients try Greek yogurt!  Most people can't tell the difference between sour cream and Greek Yogurt!!  

6. Get up and get moving!!: Durning the game it's pretty common to only get off your keyster to get more food or use the restroom. So take advantage of the break at Half-Time to get out and throw your own ball around the yard with the neighbors, take the kids to the local park or if you just absolutely CAN'T miss the coveted Half-Time show round up your guests and do this workout throughout the game and see who can stick it out till the end!

So, now that you are armed with some tips here are the recipes to go with it!

One of my favorite party appetizers are the Turkey, Pepper, Avocado Rolls

Turkey, Pepper & Avocado Rolls

3 slices of low sodium, nitrate free turkey breast

1/8 medium avocado sliced

1/2 medium bell pepper sliced into 6 pieces

Top each slice of turkey with bell peppers and avocado, roll and enjoy!!

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

• 1 lb. lean ground turkey
• 1 cup cooked brown rice
• 1 8oz can crushed pineapple in juice, drained
• 1/2 cup green onions
• 1 tbsp. light soy sauce
• 1 tsp. ginger
  Sauce:
• 3/4 cup reduced-sodium, low fat chicken broth
• 1/3 cup chili sauce
• 3 tbsp. rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine meatball ingredients in medium bowl and mix thoroughly.  Line a baking sheet with foil.  Place cooking racks in foil lined baking sheet.  Shape meatballs and place on the racks.  Bake for about 25 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.  Transfer the meatballs to a serving dish and cover to keep warm.

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and stir until cornstarch is dissolved.  Place sauce over medium heat and stir intermittently until mixture comes to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, and stir for another minute or until mixture thickens slightly.  Pour sauce over meatballs, and gently toss to coat meatballs and serve warm with toothpicks.

Clean Eating Tex-Mex Dip  I am such a sucker for Mexican Food and this one sounds completely divine.  I honestly am going to have to portion out the 1/4 cup serving otherwise I would eat it all at one sitting.

Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) jar of your favorite salsa, no sugar added
1 (15 ounce) can black olives, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can non-fat, re-fried beans, no sugar added
3 avocados
Juice of 1 lime
2 large Roma tomatoes, chopped
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed

Directions:

Combine the beans and the salsa in a pot and warm while stirring constantly. Once they are warm and well combined, remove from heat and pour the beans into your serving dish.

Next, make your guacamole using the avocados, lime juice, garlic powder and onion powder. Add salt to taste. Layer the guacamole over the beans.

Top with olives and tomatoes next and finish with the fresh cilantro.

Serve with your favorite, clean corn chips or whole grain crackers.

Bruchetta

makes about 8-10 servings

Gently blend together in a medium mixing bowl:

6 good sized Roma tomatoes, diced

3/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil-preferably olive oil) finely chopped

2 T. extra virgin olive oil

4 t. minced garlic

1/2 cup of finely chopped fresh basil

2 T. balsamic vinegar

1/4 t. ground pepper

1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat your oven to 400* and spread the mixture in an 8" x 8" baking dish and bake for about 10-15 minutes.  Once the edges are bubbling and it smells amazing. 

I like to serve my Bruschetta with a whole grain baguette that I slice down brush with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and bake until lightly browned.  You can make your own chips that are healthier than the store bought version.

TurboFire Crackpot Chili

1 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (I used stewed tomatoes and added 2 cans)
8oz whole kernel corn, canned
1/2 onion diced
2 garlic cloves (I used minced)
8oz can of Black Beans
8oz  can of Kidney Beans
1 Tbsp Tomato Paste
1 packet Lawry's Chili Seasoning (I used low sodium)
4 oz low fat shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Brown the turkey and drain any fat. Place all ingredients except the cheese into the crock pot. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. Top with 1 oz cheese per serving if desired.

Enjoy your parties this weekend and please share your favorite recipes too!!  I always love hearing your clean appetizers.  It's the one area we all struggle with!

 

T25 Week 2 Review - Couples Edition

We just officially finished week 2 of T25 and are LOVING the results! We are down a combined 14 pounds since day 1! We have gotten in a good groove with our routine and our eating habits and are kicking some serious booty in the results department!! This go around we have both committed to an early morning workout. They are quick, focused and to the point. We give 110% effort and have been continuously gaining greater calorie burn and improvements in stamina.

We were out of town on Monday and I brought the wrong disk but we didn't let that stop us! We popped in the one I had (Speed 1.0) and crushed it. I absolutely love these quick 25 minute workouts because we can literally be house guests somewhere and get in our full workout in so fast before anyone else is even up, including our son!!

This week we both concentrated on form and pushing past our stats. So we buckled down and pushed past our daily calorie burn each day and we had some non-scales to be pretty proud of!! Ruben has not missed a workout the entire two weeks and I was able to keep up with Scott in the Cardio video on the Alt High Speed Knee workout. If you're not familiar with that move its high knees, FAST for almost a minute. Doesn't sound so hard until you're into the meat of it and you can't breathe!! But hey, I survived and my abs were feeling it for a couple days!! Win-win!! To catch more of our workouts this week check out my YouTube Channel and subscribe to get the latest progress updates from our journey!!

If you've been following me you know for the most part I stick to routine in my meal plan. I know what works, I know what will get me results and I am a creature of habit. So here goes...

I will say that I did stray a few times from the meal plan to try a couple new recipes which I'll share here and it was DEFINITELY worth it!! These clean eating recipes were such a hit and definitely family friendly!! They'll be added in on future plans for sure!

Thursday night I had my weekly Beachbody Cup Team call and I had literally 30 minutes to scarf down dinner before I logged on. Let me tell you, I didnt even need that much time!! This Margarita Spaghetti Squash was to-die-for!! It was the perfect texture, perfect flavor and it was a hit all around!! My son loved his "teddy squash" too!! Click the picture for the recipe :)

Another hit this week was the Chocolate Protein Mug Cake! I've seen this around now for a while and always something I wanted to do so I whipped this up and had it for breakfast one morning! You can read all about my experience by clicking the picture where you'll also find the recipe!!

So now it is on to Week 3 of T25 Couples Edition! Stay tuned for more of our journey and my top tips!!!

Chocolate Protein Mug Cake

So I've been stalking these little gems for quite some time, drooling all over my Instagram and Facebook apps as I go!! And this morning I finally bit the bullet and made my very own Chocolate Protein Mug Cake!!

And let me tell you I was VERY impressed!! The first attempt (forgot to take a pic) was basically a fail in the "pretty" department! I put it in the microwave for a minute and a half and it came up and over the mug. But I tried it anyways to see what this baby tasted like. It was YUMMY!! The first one was more of an angel food cake consistency, light and airy. It didn't have a strong chocolate taste but I did use Vanilla whey protein so I bet that made a difference.

But I wasn't stopping there! I was determined to get this photo of my very own PRETTY mug cake! So back I went, whipping up a new batch of "batter". Mine had the consistency of a thin, sort of runny cake batter. I put it in the microwave and stood watch this time. I did a minute and as it came to rise to the top I stopped the microwave. I ended up doing it for a total of a minute and thirty seconds again but this time after the initial minute I did it in 10 second spurts. As the cake would rise to the top I stopped it, let it go back down and did another 10 seconds. Yes it was a little tedious but it was totally worth it!!

The second cake came out more dense like an actual cake! Same issue with it not being a very strong chocolate taste but it was still delicious. I mixed up some PB2 sauce to drizzle over the top and garnished with some frozen berries!! As the warm cake melted the berries I started to think that next time I want to try to cook the berries down first and drizzle some berry sauce over the cake. That would be SO good!

So I am very impressed and will definitely be doing this again! There are so many wonderful recipes out there I can't wait to play with some new ones. But it is so great to know that I CAN have my cake and eat it too!! When others are indulging I can throw this together and not feel guilty for one second that I'm derailing my hard work!! Enjoy!
Chocolate Protein Mug Cake -2T whey protein powder -1T oat flour -1T cocoa powder -1T greek yogurt -4T egg white/beaters -1/2 tsp baking powder -Optional: vanilla extract, chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, peanut butter, anything! Directions: mix altogether. Spray mug with oil spray and place mixture in mug. Cook in microwave for about 1-1.5 minutes, until done! Either leave in mug and enjoy, or turn mug over to empty cake on plate to eat. Place any additional toppings you would like. I added berries and healthy peanut butter sauce(recipe below).
 
Healthy Peanut Butter Sauce -2T peanut flour (PB2) -2T milk -touch of sweetener if desired Directions: Combine altogether and use as topping on anything or as a dip

Margarita Spaghetti Squash

I love Spaghetti Squash, there are so many tasty dinners you can create!  Here is one that you really can't go wrong with.I also loved mixing it all up and serving it back in the squash shells! I paired this with half an artichoke, spinach salad and a large glass of lemon water.
Baked Margarita Spaghetti Squash - Not only is it healthy, but its gluten free as well!

Ingredients:
1 large spaghetti squash
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large Roma tomato, finely chopped
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. each salt & pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder

Steps:
*Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
*Using a large knife or a cleaver, slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise down the middle.
*Use a spoon to remove the seeds and center strings.
*Drizzle the two halves with olive oil and then sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
*Place the squash, open side down on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
*Remove from the oven, check to see if the squash is soft and easily comes up with a fork into a spaghetti like texture. If it’s too hard to remove, cook for another 10 minutes.
*Remove from the oven, scrape and fluff the stringy squash with a fork. Leave the squash in the skin.
*Turn the oven up to broil.
*Add the tomatoes and fresh basil into the squash, stir and top with the mozzarella cheese.
*Place in the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. *Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving the squash.

Autumn Calabrese is your personal trainer:
Autumn Calabrese is a celebrity fitness trainer, busy mom, and national-level bikini
competitor. She came up with the idea of a portion-control container system
after watching a client eat an entire 1,300-calorie salad in one sitting because it
was “healthy.” Autumn realized that supersized portions were hurting her clients’
weight-loss success because they were eating too much without knowing it. So she
developed portion-control containers to help people see how simple it is to eat the
right amounts and lose weight easily. And as a single mother, Autumn understands how hard it can be to fit exercise and healthy eating into a jam-packed schedule.

What's included in 21 Day Fix?
Essential Package:
• 7 color-coded portion-control containers
• Shakeology® shaker cup
• 6 easy-to-follow 30-minute workouts
• 21 Day Fix Start Here quickstart guide and workout calendar
• 21 Day Fix Eating Plan that shows you exactly what to do
• 3 Day Quick Fix Guide, Autumn's secret weapon for fast weight loss
• Dirty 30 bonus workout

What equipment is needed?
• Dumbbells or a resistance band are used in some workouts.
• A yoga mat and the Beachbody® miniMAT are helpful, but not required.

• Both the workouts and Eating Plan are essential to get the best results in 21 days.
• If you're worried about being out of shape, we suggest you follow the modifier and do
what you can, rather than skipping the workouts entirely. You'll feel stronger in no time.

Can I use other containers I have at home?
• No, these are custom-designed for 21 Day Fix. Other containers may have the wrong
 proportions and you will not be successful unless you follow the Eating Plan using
 these containers.
• Very few (if any) other containers come in the variety of sizes needed for 21 Day Fix.

• Yes! The Eating Plan includes a restaurant guide that shows you how to practice portion control at your favorite restaurants.

Diamond Beachbody Coach Success Story

For those of you who follow my blog, Facebook or know me personally you may already know much of this story. But for those who are reading it for the first time, I want to share a little bit about my journey with Beachbody from challenger to Diamond coach in just over a years time. Make sure you read to the end, you WILL be writing a story like this of your own and I can't wait to start the journey with you!

In January of 2012 I tipped the scales at 196 pounds. I had a 6 month old baby and LOTS of baby weight to get rid of. I felt sad, depressed and had no energy. I cried to my husband and told him that I was not comfortable in my own skin. I avoided social gatherings, hid in the back of pictures and felt completely lost. So I gathered up some friends and family members and started my own Biggest Loser challenge on Facebook. I created a private group where we could report our weight, share tips and healthy dinner ideas.I also started posting motivational pictures and quotes to keep myself motivated on my own personal FB wall. I lost about 20 pounds and felt like I was on my way! But at this point I didn't know what else to do, I was at a plateau and wanted to push past it. So I started surfing YouTube and came across a program called Turbo Fire. I saw other women getting AMAZING results and I didn't care what they did I WANTED IT!!!

So I bought it and found my coach. I was pumped and ready to start, but she said I had to get this stuff called Shakeology. I have never been a "shake person" and thought that it was just the same as all the other weight loss in a can crap out there on the market. So I kindly declined and did my Turbo Fire on my own. Two months had past and I had lost about 6 pounds...this was NOT the results that I wanted. I reached back out and asked her to tell me about Shakeology. I needed help and I didn't want to waste any more time. Here is what I learned...Shakeology is NOT just a protein shake! Yes it has protein in it, but it is a nutrient dense meal replacement shake with the vitamins and nutrition equivalent to 6 salads. (This was also WAY more than I was getting in my multi-vitamin!) I was very skeptical when I was told that Shakeology would help with digestion and regularity (a problem I had that I know MANY of us suffer from), curb cravings, boost energy naturally and help lose weight. How could a chocolate shake, that taste like a diner milkshake do all that AND be good for me? I kid you not that it DELIVERED. And the benefits didnt stop there. I had energy to get up and get my morning workouts done, I had less bloating in my stomach, I was losing weight as a result and since my body was getting all the nutrients and vitamins it needed I wasnt having cravings for junk. All cravings are is a way for our body to tell us that it's lacking something so we go seeking to satisfy it with junk or comfort food. My hair and nails were also strong and growing faster than ever! Deciding to drink Shakeology daily was the BEST decision I've made and all I can say is I wish I listened to my coach two months earlier. The combination of my workout, Shakeology and the support, community and accountability of my challenge group is what made all the pieces of the puzzle come together. Sure I could have hit the gym and ate "healthy" but I didnt know what to eat and how to workout. This challenge group gave me the tools, the nutrition, a day to day schedule for my workouts, it was a piece of cake! Although I am still a work in progress I have come a long way and proud of my efforts.

It was at this same time when I started drinking Shakeology that my coach approached me and asked what I thought about becoming a coach myself. Honestly I was flattered but I knew NOTHING about coaching. She was so professional and knowledgeable about health, fitness, clean eating and Beachbody and I was JUST starting my journey. She also told me that I could be a "preferred customer" if I wanted to and get 25% of of my Shakeology and any other products I purchased (HECK YAY, Coupon Queen over here!!) and I would also be able to join her challenge group as a challenger but at the same time learn how to coach others. I did this for 90 days as I went through my own personal transformation and ended 2012 down 42 pounds. I was PUMPED, I was no longer hiding in the back of pictures, I was LOVING my new, cute clothes and I was full of energy, which was really helpful with a one and a half year old! I knew if I could do this working a full time job with an infant that anyone could do it!

I met with my coach, joined her 60 day apprenticeship program where I learned everything she knew and did to get her to where she is today. I was given tools, documents, support, motivation and guidance to grow my own team. And then I told her that I was ready to do it on my own. I hit the ground running and have not looked back. I have successfully ran 1-2 challenge groups every month for the past 16 months, I am currently a Success Club 10 All Star, I have 25 personally sponsored coaches and a total of 40 coaches on my team! I ranked in the top 25 out of thousands of teams on the Beachbody Cup Challenge and I will be taking an all expense paid trip with my hubby in March as a reward for my efforts. It it not my intention in any way to brag or show off, I just hope to show you that ANYTHING is possible when you set your mind to it!! So here's where my story ends and YOURS begins!!

I had an amazing year but I only have BIGGER and BOLDER dreams for 2014 and I want YOU to be a part of them!! I want you to live the life of your dreams, set your own hours, help you help others, help you spend more time with your children and family and help you to financial freedom! Whether you are a stay at home mom or a busy working professional, if you have a passion for health and fitness or if you enjoy helping others I'd love to chat about joining my team. As I said above if you only join to get a discount on your products while you go through your own transformation that's awesome! And if you want to actively grow your own business, fill out the application below! Challenge group and Coach Apprenticeship groups start Monday January 6th!!

P90X3 Review. Participate in Exclusive Test Group

So Thanksgiving is over, and you may or may not have stayed on track but that doesn't mean you have to throw in the towel and just fall off the wagon completely! There's NO reason to sit around feeling sorry for yourself and continuing to eat yourself silly! Nope! It's time to stand up, dust yourself off and get right back on track!

And just in the nick of time Beachbody will be releasing P90X3 on Tuesday December 10th!! Are you a P90X graduate? What about a P90X drop out? Either way the new P90X3 is perfect for EVERYONE!!
All good things come in threes, but be warned: P90X3 is far from a trilogy. No, P90X3 is NOT the kid sister workout. It’s the workout that took notes from it’s siblings, then condensed, and accelerated to become the most dynamic and fastest workout yet.

So what's it all about? I'm SO glad you asked!! Let's check it out...
The ultimate excuse buster
Time is the biggest excuse. P90X3 solves that. Every workout is 30 minutes and the clock starts the minute you push play. Before you can say “drop and give me 10,” it’s over and you are one workout closer to the six-pack of your dreams. 

Muscle acceleration explained
Many P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.

Along with the constant entertainment of Tony Horton's one liners, P90X3 has the most workouts of any Beachbody program. With 16 workouts in the base kit, they switch it up before you have a chance to consider boredom. From cardio to strength to pilates to MMX, there is something for everyone!!
The ideal P90X3-er
It may seem lofty to proclaim, but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone.  Everyone searching for tighter abs and leaner muscles, that is. But fitness novices and experts need not be afraid by P90X3’s come-one-come-all invitation. You don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. For the beginner, the variety of workouts in P90X3 is the perfect place to discover their fitness style. If the move can be modified there is a cast member showing you how. But don’t expect to be an expert on day one. (Yes, fitness veterans will still be challenged.) As Tony says, ”You don’t get off easy, you just get to finish faster!” 

It doesn’t stop there
And of course there are some bells and whistles too good to ignore. First off, the Coach exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased through ME as your Coach any time from December 10^th – 31^st (including Challenge Packs), the customer receives an exclusive P90X3 baseball cap. What better way to spread the word about this revolutionary program?

And last but not least, we have the app: Yes, now for the first time the P90X app is available on Android and iOS (will be available 12/10 on Android) The app includes P90X guided workouts, tools to track your reps, weights and progress. Launching soon, is the P90X3 addition – which brings you workout specific tracking modules, scheduling options and the motivation you need to power through the 90 days. P90X3 scheduling and tracking will be available on the app for Android on 12/10 and is coming soon for iPhone. Check out the app and get ready to bring it!

So when can you get it?

You can score your very own P90X3 on December 10th.  P90X3 will be released on my site in which you have a couple of options.  There will be an introductory price of $180 vs $205 for the Challenge Pack which includes the 90 day workout, the nutrition guide, program manual, schedule of workouts, shakeology, free 30 day trial of the club membership, free shipping and a discounted price when you get the package. 

Or your second option is to purchase the program alone.  That is $119.00, and the equipment needed are weights, bands and an optional pull up bar but you can use a band with an over the door attachment if you don't have one!  I did my whole first round of P90X with the bands and got amazing results.

If you would like to be notified when you can officially purchase the workout please go to my site and create a FREE account and you will receive an email from me the minute that it's released!  You won't want to wait, this is going to go fast!

It's important to know that this is not a graduate program.  That means you do not have to have done P90X or P90X2 in order to do this workout!  There are also great modifications so no matter what your ability level you can do this workout! Check out these results from the test group! 39 out of 40 people in the Test group lost 10% of their body fat %!!!!! (Whoa! How awesome is that?!)

* LEAN – Designed for those who prefer a more toned look, where you’ll target functionality, mobility and cardio over resistance training
* MASS – For those looking for bulk over getting ripped, you will focus on more resistance training, while incorporating a higher caloric intake into your diet
* DOUBLES – As Tony would say, this schedule is for workout “psychos” who have the ability to push through two workouts per day
