Holiday Survival Challenge

It's that time of year again when everyone has pot lucks at the office, holiday gatherings, Thanksgiving leftovers and Christmas parties galore and the one guest that's invited to it all is FOOD!! It's pretty impossible not to be greeted with the smells of some amazing foods and tasty treats, so how do you stay ahead of the game and not gain the dreaded 5-15 pounds that you normally gain around this time? You get together with like minded people who also have the same goal to lose weight THROUGH the holidays and end the year a size or two down!!

At this time, two years ago, I had lost over 30 pounds and I wanted to keep it going. I KNEW I had the will power and that was stronger than any momentary temptations that I faced at these parties. So I did it! I stuck to my plan and lost the 15 pounds to end the year strong at a grand total of 45 pounds. And this year, not only am I in the same position after baby #2, but I want to pay it forward and teach YOU how to do the same! I want to give you my tools, tips and recipes. I want to give you the motivation, support and accountability and I want to help you look fabulous in your family pictures and feel confident in that little black dress on New Year's Eve!!

So how does this work???

The 30 day accountability group will be ran through your very own private Facebook group with a group of 5-10 other women who are on the same mission as you! Have a friend who wants to get healthy too? Bring them along!! The best part is that these workouts will be done in the privacy of your own home and on your own schedule! 

Why Shakeology???

I require you to invest in Shakeology for a couple of reasons.  The first and the biggest is that Shakeology is a nutrient dense meal that is derived from whole foods, minerals and vitamins and you KNOW you are getting the VERY BEST nutrition that you can possibly find.  Especially when you are learning to eat better and make good choices it can be completely over whelming.  So Shakeology takes the guess work out of planning your meals.  You have 1 less thing to think about!  Then, at the end of the group you can decide to continue or discontinue drinking your Shakeology.  But I'm pretty sure you will love it!  

The next reason is because during the holidays sugar and sweets are everywhere.  It is a known fact that the more sugar you eat the more you body craves it!  Shakeology helps to reduce your cravings to sugar!  So, instead of having a milkshake in the evenings or cookies, I grab my shake mix it with fruit, peanut butter, milk and ice and voila a healthy, low calorie treat!  I never feel like I'm missing out on something!  Oh and I the feeling of guilt that you have when you indulge in something naughty is gone!!!  I feel confident, healthy and I look lean!

And the final reason is because this was one of the main reasons I lost 45 pounds last year. I worked out and I changed my eating habits but it wasn't until I added Shakeology on a daily basis that I really started to see results. It helped reduce cravings, regulated digestion and gave me more natural energy to get up and do my workouts every day!

Maybe you have a significant amount of weight to lose or maybe just the last 10-15 pounds. But either way starting with Shakeology, at home workouts and healthy eating will help you get a jump start on your New Years Resolution with out all the pressure and added weight that you could potentially add on in the next few weeks. 

Yes, the holidays mean there are tons of temptations that are being thrown our way: cookies, pies, decadent dinners, drinks...you name it, but the 30 day program takes place in between Thanksgiving and Christmas and it's not about avoiding temptation!  It's about changing how you think about food!  We'll be talking about stress signs that lead to bad choices, time management for the hustle and bustle of the season, and of course alternative meal ideas to cut calories without cutting the yumminess! 

Maybe you already are at your goal weight or close too but have  very poor diet.  Maybe you lack energy to get through your day.  Maybe you have no idea how to cook or what foods are good vs. bad.  Then, this group will teach you  to make better choices and be mindful of what you are consuming and what it is doing to your body.  I will be giving you meal plans, recipes, teach you what healthy snacks are.  You will NOT be counting calories.  You will be choosing foods based on their nutritional value.  You will be eating 5-6 times a day!  No starvation! So when you eat the cookies or the extra helping of ham, you don't have to feel guilty!  

When does the fun begin???

It will start on Monday the 30th !!  During this month we will set small goals for you to help you focus on what is most important.  Maybe you want to learn how to make better food choices, learn how to resist temptations, handle emotional eating, find healthy alternatives to your favorite foods, cut the soda and caffeine or just have energy to get through your day without crashing?  You may or may not have weight to lose, whatever your individual reason I will work with you to have the success that you want! I promise at the end of the 30 days you will have the tools to make better choices and live a healthier lifestyle!
