Be Stronger Than Your Excuses!


It's officially April and Spring is right around the corner.  We've had a pretty mild winter but I'm definitely ready for the warmer weather, chirping birds and spring flowers.  I do know that most of you are not ready for is the wardrobe  that comes along with the warmer weather.  Everywhere you go there are subtle signs that warm weather is approaching.  The swimsuits hanging in the front of the store, the beach bags, the sunglasses, the appearance of shorts and tank tops.  It is a constant reminder that you are going to have to bare your legs and arms before you know it.  Now, you can boycott the warm weather and vow to wear pants all summer long.  You can absolutely do that, but that results in sweaty, sticky clothes and a bad attitude because you are uncomfortable and hot.  All of this because of the decision to ignore that you have put on a few pounds or the ability to have self control over the decisions you make. 


 
The GOOD NEWS is that it's not to late at all.  It's the PERFECT time to make a commitment to your health.  Maybe your short term goal is to lose a few pounds before the summer.  I want to eventually see your long term goal be to live a healthy and fulfilling life.  I would like nothing more than to see you become a positive influence on those around you, to share what you will learn and to truly make this a lifestyle change and not another fad diet. Believe me when you start to make positive changes they're contageous!! Others will start to ask about the yummy healthy food you're eating or how you're getting your arms nice and toned so quickly!

So now what?!  Here is my invitation to you! I will be starting a new challenge group this month.
On April 15th you can join my 60 day health and fitness program.  During the 8 weeks I will teach you how to make exercise a part of your daily routine by matching you up with a Beachbody fitness program like P90X, Insanity, Turbofire, Chalean Extreme and more to meet your needs.  I will recommend a program that fits your ability level and that you feel works with your time commitments as well.


I will also require that you replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology.  Shakeology is a meal replacement shake that is all natural, helps you lose weight, controls your cravings, keeps you full and gives you energy to get through your workouts and the other responsibilities of the day.  You are only required to drink Shakeology during the 60 days, afterwards you can decide what to do.  The reason I require Shakeology is because when you are learning to change your eating habits and are adding in exercise this is one meal a day that you know you are eating the right portion size, the right food combination and that you are fueling your body for just plain good nutrition.  I will teach you how to plan out your meals, how to pair foods together to give you energy and lose weight, and give you a plethora of recipes to help make your meals easy and delicious.  Every recipe I share has been kid tested and husband approved!



As part of the Challenge Group you will be enrolled into my closed online support group.  In this group I will help you to set your health and fitness goals, I will post daily tips, motivation and accountability.  You will be required to check in each day and post your daily activities.  It's a great place to feel connected to other people who are going through the same life situations as you!



Does this sound like something you would like to do?  Then don't delay.  There are a limited number of spots available.  I do this to keep the groups small and allow me to provide you with the individual attention that you deserve!!!


So now is the time, DO IT!!  60 days until summer....We have work to do!

Your second option:  Maybe you are not quite ready to do a complete challenge group but you want to learn more about how to Eat Clean.  Maybe you want to try Shakeology but are nervous about the investment and whether or not you will get the results you want.  I am going to be running a 30 day Shakeology and Clean Eating group starting on April 15th as well.  In this group you will receive meal planning, recipes, tips, basics on clean eating, support and motivation to make eating healthy a lifestyle change and not a crash diet.  We will incorporate Shakeology and I will teach you exactly how to get the results you are looking for.  Then, after the 30 days is up you will have a great base of knowledge to continue on with what works best for you.




Does this sound like something you would be interested in?   Then, ask me now!!

 
There are some great options for you to get started.  If you are someone who enjoys doing high intensity workouts then check out the Insanity challenge pack! This month only you can score the Insanity Challenge Pack which is the entire 60 day fitness program, program guide and nutrition manual plus 30 day supply of Shakeology, free shipping, 30 day trial of the club membership which has a meal planning feature and printable grocery list and my support group as your coach!!


Other options include becoming a wholesale customer or Coach and saving 25% off of everything you order. No minimum requirements to become a coach!

Maybe you are already into health and fitness and would like to run groups like these on your own?  Ask me how you can become a Beachbody Coach and help other people set health and fitness goals and reach them plus earn an income.  Ask me how!

Clean Eater's Grocery List and 30 Day Clean Eating Challenge

Monday morning my hubby offered to go to the grocery store so I took him up on the offer!! All morning I had been jotting down this thing and that thing as they flew through my head but I never took the time to actually LOOK in the fridge or the pantry to see what we needed. So upon his return I was putting away the groceries only to discover that I had forgotten to list SEVERAL of my main staples that I need for the week. I had no one to blame but myself so I decided to stop right then and there and create a master grocery "staples" list.



The foods on this list are foods that my family eats that are clean and if possible organic. I find that many organic fruits and veggies are often on sale and honestly not that much more than the non-organic versions. Now what you eat in your home is totally up to you, I'm not judging, only sharing what I eat with my family. Please note that this is my "master" list and includes EVERYTHING we eat or an ingredient for a specific recipe....I do NOT buy all of this every week. It depends what's in season and also what particular meal plan I'm following at that time. But this way I can just print out my list and instead of forgetting anything i can just cross things off before I even go to the store if I dont need them!! Check out my Clean Eating Recipes when you're doing your meal planning next week.
