21 Day Fix on the Vacation:  Staying on Track While Traveling

Are you ready for your next vacation? What is your next vacation destination? Do you want to try the Grand Cayman excursions? Well, that’s great!!! But before that let’s consider your health. When it comes to maintaining healthy habits, nothing can derail your efforts faster than a vacation. You’re faced with temptation everywhere, and it seems impossible to stick to your healthy routine.  It doesn’t have to be that way!  Don’t let those days away undo all your hard work, if you want to do some sports like playing golf during your vacation, check out the golf holidays direct website using the link.  Before you leave home, prepare yourself, plan ahead, and read these tips on how to stick to a the 21 Day Fix while on vacation:

Portable Snacks

Pack as many portable snacks as you can.  Review the 21 Day Foods List to see which ones work best for you.  Colored ziplock bags from Target work well so you know which containers correspond with each snack.  Nuts, whole grain crackers, homemade protein bars, individual sized oatmeal packets, fruit, cut veggies, mozzarella sticks and of course Shakeology packets are great things to bring with you in an insulated cooler.  Don’t forget water!  Freeze it so it can help keep other things cool.

Healthy Eating

  • Call ahead to see if your hotel has a refrigerator.  Even if it doesn’t, you can often request one to be brought to your room.  Bring along healthy breakfast items, Shakeology, snacks and lunches so you can eat at least one healthy meal a day in your room.
  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water during the day and especially before you go out to eat.
  • “Pre-eat” before going out for a high-fat meal.  With a little food in your stomach, you’ll be less tempted to overeat and will be able to exercise more control.
  • Go easy on the alcohol and other calorie-laden beverages.  If you’re out drinking, order a large glass of water too.  Alternate one alcoholic beverage for one glass of water if you’re going to be having more than one.  Remember, the 21 Day Fix allows for one glass of wine three times a week (your “special” yellow containers).
  • Plan your cheat meal ahead of time.  One of my favorite things about traveling is trying new and different foods.  Plan ahead so you know when this meal will be, and enjoy it to the fullest!

Restaurant Temptation

  • Look at the menu online and choose something healthy before you arrive.  That way, you won’t be tempted by all the great smells and order something you shouldn’t.
  • Order what you want, even if it’s not on the menu.  If the ingredients are on the menu, chances are the cook can make something to your specification even if it’s not listed.  Don’t be afraid to request what you want.
  • Whittle calories off what you order:  Skip the bun on a burger, order grilled instead of fried, and ask to have sauces, dressings and gravies served on the side, opt for steamed veggies instead of fries.
  • If you do order something less than healthy, go easy on the portion size.  Eat half now, save half for later.  Or, split it with a friend or family member.
  • Be careful with appetizers.  Often, they’re loaded with fat and contain 1000 calories or more.  Side dishes too – instead of mashed potatoes or fries, order the salad with dressing on the side.
  • Often, menus will have icons next to meals indicating that they are a healthy or low-calorie choice.  Look for those.

Keep Moving!

  • Pack your 21 Day Fix workout videos and play them on your laptop
  • Or, take advantage of Beachbody on Demand!  It’s now available to all Club Members on mobile devices and computers.  Focus on workouts that don’t require equipment.  My go-to workouts are PiYo, Cardio Fix (21 Day Fix), and Ab Ripper X (P90X).  There are also several from File Apr 20, 5 57 52 PMBrazil Butt Lift that don’t require equipment.
  • Sometimes despite your best efforts you’re still going to take in more calories on vacation.  That’s OK – as long as you can make up for it with exercise.  Use an app like MyFitnessPal to track calories and calories out.  Even if you don’t do the 21 Day Fix videos, it’s important to stay active.
  • Stay active like the locals do – look up running/hiking trails, spots where you can rent a fold up bicycle, kayaks, or other fun fitness “toys” – and make activity part of your getaway.  I even ran a local race in Seattle – I was a Seahawks fan for a day!

Stay motivated and check in with your 21 Day Fix accountability group while you’re away.  We want to live vicariously through you, celebrate your victories and have fun right along with you!

FIVE DAYS OF

Core De Force Testimonials

by

Jena C
This program pretty much saved me. Sounds super cliche, but I was starting to hit a really crap time in my life, my fitness, my health, my business…and then this test group opportunity came along and it completely revived me.

I love everything about the workouts. Joel & Jericho are amazing. I feel stronger and more confident than I have in a really long time. This program is going to be one of those “marks” on the beachbody timeline for sure.

Taryn D
This program is AMAZING!!! Having experienced postpartum depression and anxiety for the year following my daughter’s birth in April of 2015, I needed this badly. This is so much more than a workout program. It’s taught me that I’m strong, I’m Brave, I’m a fighter and I can face anything that comes my way. This program broke me down and built me up in a way that no other program has (and I’m an in home workout junkie ?).

The workouts are fantastic. Joel & Jericho are the absolute best – they say exactly what you need to hear when you need to hear it. They pushed me to my limits and beyond.

I’ve never felt this amazing in my life and I feel just like Jena in saying it completely saved me. Can’t wait to see what the next 30 days bring ?

Audrey R
Doing Core De Force made me realize I kept telling myself that because I had two kids, I would never have abs and that I wasn’t strong enough to do push ups. Honestly, I never even tried that hard with other programs, until I was forced to with this one. I’ve never seen results like this and can’t even believe it’s me!

Rachel A
I feel like so powerful doing these workouts. But ultimately, this program has been a battle for my brain.

I have been binge free for a little over 60 days and have felt completely in control of my body and my thoughts.

This program is a life changer.

Rachel V

-5.5# & 7.5″ in 30 days, and a total of -9.9# and 11.5″ in 60 days. No doubt the biggest victories for me came in the form of GAINS, NOT losses…. I’ve gained a whole new mindset…. greater belief, confidence, and inner strength & FIGHT than I’ve ever had in my LIFE. Im an emotional eater, and confidence & belief in myself is a daily struggle. But CDF has helped me to break through that, which has been huge. Also, as a national collegiate swimmer who suffered rotator cuff tendonitis and was told I would need surgery by 4 different doctors, I have NEVER been able to do pushups, EVER. Today, I am rocking ALL of them on my toes with CDF (well… except The Spinx, which y’all will experience soon! ;-)) This program is REALLY going to transform our customers like never before… the fitness & nutrition is amazing, but no doubt… SO many of our people struggle with believing they CAN do this, and that they DESERVE to do this. CDF nails it right there. This program is a complete body AND mind transformation, and it’s really going to be a game changer for our teams, our customers, and the entire network.

Kristen A
As a mom of 3 I have never been able to get my stomach “flat”. I have also been stuck at the same weight and measurements for quite a while. But most importantly I cannot believe how much will power and determination I had while doing this. I actually blew myself away with it. It built some serious badass confidence and strength inside of me. I think this program is a game changer for us as coaches and for people’s results.

Dara D
EEK! The bikini shots!

My story: being in this biz over 5yrs, I have weathered it all, but one thing I can always come back to is why I got started in the 1st place: our products. The best thing I can do for me is me (which enables me to be a better wife, mom, friend and Coach). Core De Force helped me tap into a place, deep inside that has been dormant for a bit, to prove to myself, to my team and my followers that what we do, what we offer is unparalleled. And works!
I feel strong, confident, I have my fighting power back.
This program is going to help so many people not only physically, but mentally too. Its a total body transformation: mind, body, soul.
These pics will show that I’m
DOWN 8 lbs & 11.5 inches
UP confidence, strength, energy and BOOTY! lol

What it doesn’t show (and is important for you to know), is that with every passing day my INNER strength is growing as well.
I am proud of making a commitment to complete & crush this program. I have learned to respect myself and the strength I have to push through even on the days I don’t really feel like it. I have reconnected with the strength I have to DO HARD THINGS, and for that I am forever grateful!

Between 30-60 minutes per day. DELICIOUS and plentiful nutritious foods to choose from on the meal plan. My favorite chocolate shakeology every morning. An online community of incredible people doing this along side me everyday. 2 world class trainers joining me EVERY SINGLE MORNING and reminding me that I am capable of so much more than I think.
These are beginning, middle and 60 day pics and stats

Here is how this program makes me feel…as a mom who had lost 90 lbs in last 4 years, I was never able to fully see abs….sure I had made progress but this program took it to the next level. I have seen my strength increase and inches decrease, confidence go up and I’ve developed this inner fight within me..a fight that says “I can conquer anything…” This program is more than a physical transformation..it’s a mental one as well..when you punch, kick, fight for yourself you discover that you are conquering on many levels…absolutely life changing for me…and mama is getting a Six pack for Christmas!!! This program will totally transform you from the inside out.

Anne P
This program was truly life changing for me. Our divorce was final in July and I was down in the dumps. After 30 days I felt amazing, powerful and fit. 60 days delivered even more empowerment and confidence. Can’t wait to see what the next 30 days delivers!

Just started the last round this week. I’m all in!!

Now that I am a happily divorced person, I live my life on the edge, I have much more freedom, and I have met many extraordinary people. In one of my trips I also met Outside Times, a company dedicated to offering outdoor experiences. When I wanted to travel trekking or climb mountains, swim in wild rivers, this company only knew how to support me and give me everything I needed to make each of my goals in this field come true.

 

Beachbody Coaching: Taking Applications for 2019 Coach Team

by

Lettuce Turnip the BeetWhat is Beachbody Coaching?

Team Beachbody was launched in 2007.  It came about because people were buying home fitness programs like P90X, but not completing them.  Beachbody had an online forum called “Million Dollar Body” and people came together to support each other on that platform.  When Beachbody started to notice that certain forum members stepped up as leaders to provide mentorship and encourage others, the Coaching opportunity was born.  The first Coaches were brought on to provide the “missing link” of online support and accountability to those doing programs like P90X, Slim in 6, and Turbo Jam.  Today, Coaches function in much of the same way.  Through online groups, they offer support and encouragement to those doing at-home health and fitness programs.

How do Beachbody Coaches Make Money?

Beachbody Coaches earn money in several ways.  The first one is when their network of clients purchase programs and supplements through them, programs for all ages, include programs for people over 40, for example the coaches recommend to buy best supplements for men over 40.  They earn a 25% commission on their sales.  The second way is through building a team.  When Coaches bring on more coaches to help them run their online challenge groups, they get a bonus based on team volume.  Another way is through rank advancement bonuses.  After coaches reach certain rank goals within the organization, they are eligible for further bonuses.  Beachbody coaches who earn success club each month are also eligible for customer leads through Team Beachbody.

How to Become a Team Beachbody Coach

Let’s DO THIS!

In 2018, I learned that less is more.  Last fall, I unplugged from social media and spent more time with my family.  I worked less (and actually earned more).  That’s why I ONLY want to work with seven coaches this year.   That number allows me to narrow my focus ONLY on those that truly want it, and I’m able to give more of myself. Plus, number seven is LUCKY. I’m also getting SPECIFIC about the type of mentees I want to work with.  Because, the universe gives us what we ask for, right?  Here’s what I want in my 2019 team:

  • You may only have an hour or two a day to work, but will work FOCUSED and diligently
  • Will trust in the process and want to be coached
  • Willing to yourself there on social media, but only in a way that feels authentic to you
  • You are self-driven and ambitious
  • You’re already familiar with social media basics
  • Is passionate about wellness
  • Wants to build a specific personal brand that DOES NOT revolve around products
  • You are driven by helping others become their best selves because you are on that journey too

Let’s just get a few things out of the way before you dismiss this idea, or let your doubts talk you out of a great thing because you’re scared:

IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE SWEATY SELFIE

Your passion doesn’t have to be fitness.  Nutrition is my thing, and that’s OK too.  I love working out, but I focus on the food.  The cool part about Beachbody is their product line encompasses so many facets of wellness.  You don’t even have to work out at ALL to be a coach.  You can decide to only focus on nutrition-based programs.  Women need just as much guidance with food (if not more) than they do with exercise.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT

You don’t have to know it all about social media.   While it helps to already have accounts on Instagram and understand the basic, our training covers a lot of that stuff.   You don’t have to know ANYTHING about health and fitness either.  But, you will be expected to learn.  If you don’t WANT to learn, you’re probably not a good fit.

YOU CAN DO THIS IN AN HOUR A DAY

You CAN be a Team Beachbody Coach with only one focused hour each day.  Personally, I’m also cutting back on my work hours this year.  I want to spend more time with my family, cultivate new hobbies and do a lot of traveling.  But I DON’T want to scale back on my income.  Include a diet with a good supplement like korean panax ginseng and make it part of the routine. So, these my team will also be learning from me as I develop new “hacks” in the business that allow me to work less and live more. 

NETWORK MARKETING HAS A BAD NAME

Yes, it’s network marketing.  Don’t resist a good opportunity because of that fact like I did.  I had all these negative images of what that meant because I had been “hunted” by network marketers who were out to only make a quick buck at my expense.  Unfortunately, they are the ones that give this opportunity a bad name.  There are other people in this that truly love what they do, and want to help others.  Besides, network marketing is changing.  In 2019, it  means that you get to CHOOSE who you influence on social media.  You refine your personal brand and limit your circle of influence to the people and topics that #SPARKJOY.  When you do, you become magnetic and there’s no need to chase people.  My blog has people reaching out to me DAILY.  I want to teach you how I do it.

Fill out the application below if you’re serious about joining me.  I promise I won’t chase you or bug you to join me.  Quite truthfully, I don’t have time to chase you.  Besides, I only want women who WANT this for themselves.  I’ll answer your questions, but if I have to convince you, you’re not ready.  I’ll be reviewing my applications after I get back from my cruise.  Training starts at the beginning of February.

Car Accident Story

by

It wаѕ a nice sunny Saturday, Cinco dе Mayo tо bе exact, аnd I wаѕ driving home frоm grocery shopping. Traffic wаѕ heavy аѕ usual downtown, уеt fluid іn movement. Students frоm thе local university wеrе outside Oddbins drinking, partying, аnd taking іn thе sun. But keep your eyes peeled because vehicular ассіdеntѕ саn happen аnуtіmе, аnуwhеrе. In an event of an unfortunate truck accident, victims should contact a truck accident lawyer they can rely on. But it is never a mistake to be careful, especially if the road is slippery. With that using the traction control light, you can have the grip the tires needs on the slippery road, and of course, the higher your chances of controlling the car.

Thеn іt happened. I absently took mу eyes оff thе road аnd thе car іn frоnt оf mе fоr a second tо look tо tаkе іn thе scenery аnd whеn I looked bасk, thе car іn frоnt mе mе hаd соmе tо a quick stop. I slammed оn thе brakes, but іt wаѕ nоt еnоugh tо prevent a car accident.  We definitely had to hire Angell Law Firm on settling a car accident claim in Atlanta, especially since I was blamed to be under the influence of alcohol. I was an alcoholic suspect due to the fact that my background has not been the best, when I was 17 years old I experienced how my brother suffered from his addiction, sadly, when I turned 18 and life started getting difficult on me, I turned to alcohol and even spent two years in a luxury rehab California , where thankfully I was able to end my addiction.

2B Mindset Trader Joe's

STOP AT TRADER JOE’S BEFORE TRIPS

Tips from Illana for travel – “Staying in a hotel this weekend so picked up a few goodies to help set me up for success. Made sure I was #veggiesmost with super low maintenance veggies. Topped with super awesome accessories (love to find dips with 40 calories or less for 2 tablespoons so i can eat and enjoy them more liberally – while still tracking of course). Got some precooked hard boiled eggs, which are easy to fit in a hotel refrigerator. And some FFC high fiber crackers- mainly for my husband because I have a harder time controlling myself with these so I tend not to get started. The whole trip took $20 and 10 minutes!! And will likely save us loads more bc we won’t need to get as much from restaurants, vending machines or room service.

That is spaghetti squash! And this green dressing from Trader Joe’s tastes like pesto but is much lower in calories and fat!

SOOO Many Good Dips and Spreads at Trader Joe’s

Instead of chips or crackers, try slicing veggies to scoop them up!  I like organic cucumber, mushrooms and red peppers.  This totally satisfies your need to munch without the guilt.

LIIFT 4 Nutrition Plan

by

LIIFT 4 Nutrition Plan

LIIFT 4 is the brand-new program by trainer Joel Freeman that is launching on Beachbody on Demand this year.  It incorporates weight lifting and HIIT (high intensity interval training) in a lifestyle-friendly format.  You work out just FOUR days a week, around your own schedule.  Super do-able!  Your nutrition plan is also very easy to incorporate into daily life.  Joel himself readily admits to enjoying burgers, pizza and beer… all while getting results!  

LIIFT 4 Nutrition Plan

What I like best about the new LIIFT 4 Program from trainer Joel Freeman is its flexibility and ease in integrating into real life.  The LIIFT 4 Workout Program is just 4 days a week, which is SUPER-achievable, but the nutrition plan is no-nonsense as well.  It even includes a cheat day! Resurge is one of the best nutritional supplements around if you are looking to put your body in shape.

LIIFT 4 NUTRITION PLAN CHOICES

What’s cool about the LIIFT 4 program is that you can CHOOSE which nutrition plan works best for you if you’re used to the Beachbody nutrition plans already, or you can simply pay attention to your macros. Joel recommends that we get accustomed to knowing our macros, and this program is similar to the 40/30/30 that is used in so many other fitness programs. The 40-30-30 refers to the percentage of each macronutrient you should eat. Each meal should contain around 40 percent carbohydrate, 30 percent protein and 30 percent fat, You can learn about workout supplements from this RSP Nutrition Review. 

The nutrition plan gives you guidelines for following the Portion Fix container system, but since many of you are already following the 2B Mindset Program – that’s fine too!  2B Mindset will require an additional purchase if you don’t have it already, but will be available upon checkout when you purchase your LIIFT 4 bundle.If you’re wondering why it’s being said that this supplement is more effective than the others, this is because it has a formula which has been inspired by nature. And when it comes to weight loss supplements or any health supplement for that matter, it’s always best to keep it natural.

Option #1:  About the Portion Fix (Container System)

The Portion Fix Nutrition System uses color-coded containers.  Depending on your current weight and goals, you determine how many of each “food group/containers” you eat in a day. This system gives you a range to fall in and then a guideline to follow each day.  It is based on nutritional science – calories in and calories out. Red Thai is taken to help people calm down during stressful circumstances and it produces a strong effect on people’s emotions and their overall wellbeing. Red Thai will not act as a stimulant, but people love the fact that the effects stay with them for a long time. People’s pain will drift away and a euphoric feeling will overtake their bodies, view publisher site visit us here.

LIIFT 4 Nutrition Plan

Option #2:  Mindset Nutrition

We also have our new 2B Mindset Nutrition plan option.  2B Mindset is a program created by UCLA-based Registered Dietitian Ilana Muhlstein.  Ilana has her own 100-pound weight loss story and has based her program on what has worked for hundreds of the clients she’s worked with in her private practice. She used the patriot power greens supplements for weight loss.  It’s flexible, not restrictive, and sustainable long-term.   In this program, Ilana emphasizes the benefits of good nutrition instead deprivation.  There is no counting calories, carbs or containers! Red Thai kratom is packed with an abundant amount of 7-hydroxy mitragynine. Among the red kratom family, Red Thai comes second to none when it comes to this compound. To know more about red kratom see this website . This makes it the most potent pain killer not only among the reds but across the entire kratom family of strains. 

The program includes over 20 nutrition training videos to help you learn grocery shopping strategies, new recipes, as well as how to overcome a plateau and how lose weight or maintain while traveling. You can see My Body Life says that the important of the nutrition for your body. If you are interested in making the absolute most of your muscle building efforts, you have probably seen numerous ads, reviews and infomercials that advertise miracle work-out programs and products that will transform your entire body overnight.

However, what makes this program unique is that it will change your mindset FIRST and helps you create a better relationship with food and your body.  Your relationship with the scale is going to be turned upside down!

Is there a LIIFT 4 Vegan Nutrition Plan?

Yes!  The LIIFT4 Vegan Nutrition Plan removes all animal products from the food lists. Animal products are considered complete proteins, meaning they contain acceptable levels of all nine of the amino acids essential to humans. Because they’re not included, we’ve rearranged your plan a little so you’ll still get all the amino acids you need.  The LIIFT4 Vegan Eating Plans are slightly lower in protein and higher in carbs than the regular eating plans. They’re equally healthy, and the extra fiber will help keep you satisfied as you drop those pounds and to help in other areas such as your skin and If you are going to use a hair supplement, make sure to do your research.

Vegan diets can certainly be healthy, but they can also be low in vitamins B12 and D, so it’s a good idea to take a quality multivitamin such as ActiVit.

TRACKING NUTRITION DURING LIIFT 4 IS IMPORTANT!

I see so many people who do the workouts in a program alone – without the nutrition.  When you leave that piece of the equation out, you wont get 100% results!  Even if you do stick to the nutrition… tracking is KEY.  Otherwise, it’s so easy to get off track.  If you’re following the Container System, you can use the Beachbody Nutrition + App.  If you’re doing 2B Mindset, you can use that tracker, or the 2B Mindset Journal.

However, here’s another option – the Cronometer App.  Set it to the “Zone” Diet, which is the 30/40/30 macro nutrient profile that Joel recommends.  Make sure you are also looking at it to ensure you are getting ALL your daily nutrients.  I like this tool because I can see which vitamins and minerals I may be coming up short in, and supplement accordingly.

Plus, it syncs with your Fitbit or other tracking device as well – so your daily caloric targets are clearly defined.

Performance Line and BoostBEACHBODY PERFORMANCE LINE

The Beachbody Performance Line is HIGHLY encouraged with LIIFT 4 for MAXIMUM results.  Why?  Energize will help you bring MAXIMUM energy to your workouts.  If you’ve tried it already, you KNOW that it works!  Your effort is amped up, your energy levels are higher, and you simply bring more intensity to your workout.  Energize helps to:

  • Boost energy and endurance
  • Improve intense exercise performance
  • Sharpen focus and reaction time
  • Increase muscle power output
  • Delay exercise-induced muscle fatigue

Also, the Recover Shake will be CRUCIAL for muscle repair and recovery.  It contains 20 grams of protein, pomegranate extract to help combat muscle soreness and BCAA (branched-chain amino acids) that support muscle rebuilding.  Because the program is just four days a week, you want to really SHRED the muscles on your “on” days — which means they WILL be sore.  Recover will help rebuild muscles FASTER so you won’t be sore on your next workout day, which means you can bring even MORE intensity than you would have without it.

MORE LIIFT 4 NUTRITION and MEAL PLAN FAQs

Should I use Creatine on LIIFT 4?

Joel includes Creatine as part of the LIIFT 4 program.  Creatine is another amino acid that contribute muscle repair, strength, and growth.   I consider it ‘optional’ and a good fit for you if you’re more concerned with muscle gains than fat loss.  Learn more about Creatine HERE.  And yes, women can use Creatine too.  You WILL NOT get bulky.

Can I drink alcohol on LIIFT 4?

Yes!  Joel believes in creating a LIFESTYLE here… so yes, you can have a drink or two on your cheat day.  That’s real life!

How LIIFT 4 Works

LIIFT 4 combines weight training and high intensity cardio to allow your body to torch calories while burning fat and building muscle.  The moves are based on classic lifting techniques that let you isolate, stabilize and focus each rep on the muscle group you’re working. Every workout ends with a core routine for a full body build and burn that leaves you shredded. There are no gimmicky moves, no overly complicated routines and no opportunity for boredom because you’ll never do the same workout twice. Get it DONE in just 4 days a week, about 30-40 minutes a day, 8 weeks total.  On your three “off days” you can choose to do other workouts (running, recreational sports, group fitness classes… or nothing at all!)

This program is about LIVING and BALANCE.  It’s about maximizing your time and truly ENJOYING the time you are working out.

LIIFT 4 Workout Schedule

What I love MOST about this program is that it is designed for REAL LIFE.  Workouts are only 30 minutes long, 4 days a week.  Perfect for busy moms, those that already enjoy doing other workouts, and those that become BORED easily (like me!).  Each workout varies from week to week. The first 6 weeks is the BUILD phase with lifting and HIIT cardio combined workouts that are about 30 minutes long on average. The last 2 weeks is the SHRED phase where you still have the lifting component but you increase the HIIT component of the workouts, increasing the range of time to about 30-40 minutes.The program runs for 8 weeks.  So, start in July and get VISIBLE results by September!

LIIFT 4 Workout Calendar Schedule

LIIFT 4 Required Equipment

All you need are a set of light, medium, and heavy weights (depending on your fitness level), or you can substitute by modifying with resistance bands (included in the intro offers).  The challenge packs will come with resistance bands, which are great to bring along when you’re traveling.  The screen will include a “bandifier” so you can learn how to do the moves using the band.  The amount of weight you lift will depend on your current fitness level.  There will be an intensifier/modifier so that ANYONE can do this program… from beginners to advanced athletes.

3 “Rest” Days with LIIFT 4

Since you’ll only be working out four days a week, you’ll get three “rest” days.  Because you will be really hammering your muscles on your “on” days, the rest is needed for muscle repair and recovery.  If you are someone who doesn’t want that many “off” days – that’s fine too!  You can use them for active recover – running, yoga, group fitness classes – it’s all good!  The LIIFT 4 planned rest days are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

2B Mindset Before and After Pics 2B Mindset Before and After Pics

Katie writes, “This is long, but I NEVER post anything this long, so I promise, there is a point!

I would LOVE to say that my before picture was my absolute rock bottom. That would be a total LIE. In September, I was 12 lbs HEAVIER than my before picture. I do not have a picture to show you because I was literally in hiding, ashamed and embarrassed. Here’s the craziest part. I was actually exercising MORE when I was at my highest weight than I did while I lost the weight! I can vividly remember my rock bottom moment. I had worked out and struggled to run for more than 1 minute at a time. I came downstairs, face beet red, dripping in sweat and Matt asked me, “how was your workout?” I just started crying. Tears streaming down my face and I said, “what am I doing WRONG? I workout, I eat healthy food. I do not understand!” Of course, he gave me the whole, “you look great” speech. But, I was just so defeated, I felt ugly, and I was so over feeling chronically tired.

Around that same time, I learned that I had high blood pressure. For those of you that do not know, I lost my Dad to a heart attack at age 62, so this news REALLY bothered me. I made a promise to myself, my family, and my team that I would get healthy and turn this around. I started right away. I started using the meal plan from my favorite program. I knew that nutrition was 90% of the battle! I was determined. And, fortunately, I lost 12 lbs! That brought my blood pressure down to pre-hypertension level. I had more work to do. That brings me to my BEFORE picture!

When I was asked to be in this test group, I cried. Like, literal tears. Something inside of me KNEW that this would be MY program. Something inside of me KNEW this was what I needed. I went live on Facebook and literally could not stop crying as I shared my heart. I was so embarrassed that day that I could not hold my emotions together, but also so hopeful, so excited, and so ready to close this chapter of struggling and desperation.

Undoubtedly, this story is different from ANY of my past Beachbody stories. Here are the reasons why-

#1. I am not showing you a 3-week transformation and saying “look at my amazing transformation in such a SHORT period of time!” I am showing you what happens when you adopt a new LIFESTYLE. This is a progress picture, not an “after picture.” I have no plans on returning to my old way of eating. There is no end date. I love this way of living! It is realistic. It is FILLING (that matters a whole lot to me). I am not hungry or deprived, so why EVER stop?

#2. I did NOT rigidly follow a plan. I traveled numerous times. I ate some stuff that people would be shocked to see a test group participant eating. I went out to eat, I had some treats and I learned how to live in a world full of constant temptations without feeling like a total freak on a diet.

#3. I really did not exercise as much as I normally do. I wanted to focus on my nutrition. In fact, I am JUST starting to pick up the frequency of my workouts again. I feel SO good that I have to release my energy. I am ready to gain more definition and muscle! But, the weight HAD to come off! And when you are significantly overweight, it is an emergency to lose the weight. That had to take precedence for a while.

#4. I am NOT dieting. Real life example- the other night, Jackson made cookies and brought me a plate. I told him that I really should not eat them. He said, “why not? You are not on a diet or anything!” Doesn’t that say it ALL? My kids never felt like “mommy is on another one of her plans again.” I do not want them growing up, seeing me on constant “diets.” I want them to remember me as a healthy eater who enjoyed life!

Soooo, this is the first chapter of my new story! Many more to come.  I went from tired, depressed, and defeated to FREE, healthy, and hopeful. I went from having a scary blood pressure to having an IDEAL blood pressure. Since September, I have lost 27 lbs! And, for the first time in my ENTIRE adult life, I have zero fear of regaining that weight.

****I will end with this. If I were to give you ANY advice it would be this- do NOT wait for this program to release. I lost 12 lbs BEFORE this program even started and I can help you do the same. I am so glad that I took immediate action. Still, BE EXCITED! EAGERLY await the release of 2B on May 2nd. If it helped me, a food-loving, volume-eating, wine-loving, once tortilla chip addicted nearly 39-year-old mom, it can MOST certainly help ANY of you! ”

21 Day Fix: What you need to know

by

Fixate Recipes and Autumn Calabrese Book Signing21 Day Fix is the program made famous by Supertrainer Autumn Calabrese.  It was launched in 2014 and has been a best-seller ever since.  It consists of a 7-day workout plan (repeated 3 times) and a portion-fix eating plan.  Instead of counting calories, you use Portion Fix containers which help ensure you’re getting the right combination of nutrients in the correct proportions.

21 Day Fix Eating Plan

When it comes to weight loss, 80% of your results will come from what you eat.  However, too many eating plans are hard to follow and  don’t offer enough of what you like to eat to stick to them long-term. That’s why I love the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan. It offers flexibility, a couple “cheat” meals during the week, and you can even have an occasional glass of wine or piece of chocolate.

The 21 Day Fix Containers are used to regulate portions, so counting calories isn’t required.  What’s nice is that after a week or two of using the containers, knowing the appropriate serving sizes becomes second nature.  Veggies make up the largest part of your plate, which is something that most people need to change.  You get a wide variety of fruits, veggies, proteins, and whole grains.  The emphasis is on clean eating, removing processed foods from your diet and eating foods packed with nutrients.

When you use the foods on the 21 Day Fix Food List in your meal plan, you can easily create some great-tasting 21 Day Fix Recipes.  “Free” foods like vinegars, spices and hot sauce add tons of flavor.  In order to stick to the plan, I like to do my meal prep on Sunday and containerize foods to eat the rest of the week.

Transformation Tuesday: Jill’s Story

13912348_10206310171387370_478637305090325425_n 21 Day Fix Results: Jill Lost 148 Lbs. Despite Disability

Jill Werkman lost 148 lbs. with 21 Day Fix and Shakeology. Here’s the story that she shared with theBeachbody Challenge contest.

Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I am disabled. I was unable to walk without a CRO Walker (a boot that comes to my knee). I just sat around and ate because I was in pain. I have always been heavy but I ballooned up. I was in pain all the time. I couldn’t walk from my living room to the bathroom without getting winded. I depended on an electric scooter to get around to almost everywhere I went. I did not feel good about myself or my situation.3

What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I realized I was sick and tired of not being able to do things that others could do. I was tired of being isolated because I was unable to do things. I didn’t fit in seats at restaurants or theaters. I could hardly get on and off the bus when I traveled. They would have to bring my scooter right to the door. I decided even though I will always be disabled I don’t always have to be fat and in pain.3

What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody help you overcome that challenge?
My biggest challenge was being so big and not being able to do things that I wanted to do. I found Beachbody and started the program. I really liked the portion control. I didn’t realize how much I was eating. This really helped me control what I was eating. I couldn’t do any of the exercises when I started. Now I can do most of them although some I still have to modify due to my leg disability.3

What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
I love 21 Day Fix because it helped me manage my portions and taught me how to eat healthy food instead of all the unhealthy food I was eating. I enjoy eating fresh whole food now instead of fast convenience food.

Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody program. Which achievements are you proud of?
I have lost 148 pounds in 1 year and 8 months. I am no longer in pain. I can walk without getting winded. I even participated in two 5Ks. I never thought I would be able to do that. This year I bought a swimsuit and started swimming again after 40 years of not even owning a suit. I go places and do things that I never thought I would be able to do. Even though I am still disabled, because of the new lifestyle change I don’t need my scooter as much. I feel better about myself than I ever have.

21 Day Fix Results: Jill Lost 148 Lbs. Despite Disability

How has your life changed since completing your Beachbody program?
It has totally changed. I was isolated and now I get out and do things. I feel and look better than I have in years. I can go into any store now and buy clothes. It is a great feeling to go into a restaurant or a theater and be able to sit in any chair they have.

How did participating in a Challenge Group help you reach your goals? How did your group support you and keep you accountable?
It helps me focus on things that I can do to help me in my journey. I was able to see what other people were doing and to get advice from people in the same situation. It really helped me stay on track to reach my goals.

How did your Team Beachbody Coach support you on your journey? 
She is very encouraging. She runs many Challenge Groups and hosts a Facebook page that encourages everyone to reach their goals by sharing victories and struggles. She gives advice on how you can better your situation and reach the goals that you have set.

How did a Beachbody Supplement or Nutritional Product or Program (such as Shakeology or Beachbody Ultimate Reset) support your transformation? What are the greatest benefits you gained? Did you see benefits to your energy, sleep, mood/mental clarity, digestion/regularity?
Shakeology is great to help get me started in the morning. It gives me many of the nutrients I need through out the day. I don’t feel as hungry when I use it first thing in the morning. I have more energy for the day.2

Tell us about your experience with Beachbody On Demand. If applicable, how has it helped you achieve your goals?
I love that I can use it anywhere. I travel a lot and it is great that I can do any of my programs on the computer.

You can change your life, too. Take the Beachbody Challenge for the tools you need to Decide, Commit, and Succeed! Complete any Beachbody program, and enter your results for a free gift and a chance to win cash and prizes. What program are you committing to next?

An Interview with Ilana Mulstein:

Most people think I’m naturally skinny and take care of my skin at https://www.solasalonstudios.com/salon-professional/celeste-andrade1. But, what most people don’t know is that I was 100 pounds heavier than I am now. If you and I met, you might think I was naturally lean. Born with a high metabolism. Able to eat whatever I want without gaining a pound. Not gonna lie, that would be amazing. But the truth is… Growing up, I was always the big kid…

I was never normal. I was never small. The pediatrician’s office constantly told my parents, “She’s obese. She’s over the 100th percentile, she’s not even on the chart!” I was about 4 years old when my parents got divorced, and every picture of me since then was me holding food. I guess I was using it as a form of comfort, maybe a form of consistency, when a lot of things in my life were inconsistent.

Even going to the amusement park, I’d immediately wonder, “What snacks are we packing?” Ice cream cones! “We’re going to the circus?” Cotton candy! “We’re going to a birthday party?” Pizza! This was my focus. As a kid, this is what I was thinking about.

And I just kept getting bigger… And bigger…

I was also showing blood sugar issues that you would typically see in older men, cholesterol problems, and the potential for worse. My pediatrician finally looked my mom in the face and said, “You have to send her to weight-loss camp. She’s going this summer.”

So, at 8 years old, I went to “Fat Camp.” Can you imagine how that felt?

But the truth is, I loved it. I made lots of friends. I was surrounded by people who didn’t judge me. I lost 30 pounds. It was amazing.

Then I came back to school… and gained it all back.

This yo-yoing went on for years. Every summer, I’d lose 30 pounds. Every school year, I’d gain it all back — and more.

Until I peaked… At 215 pounds, and a size 20…and I was just 13.

Thankfully, something was different that summer, something that gave me extra motivation. I was about to enter high school.

Suddenly, I really wanted—not just to lose the weight—but to keep it off. So I asked myself, “What did I do every summer that made it easy for me to lose weight? And what did I do differently during the school year that made me gain the weight back?”

At weight loss camp, even on a restricted diet, there were certain foods that I could eat as much of as I wanted, and I’d still lose weight. I also knew that I liked to eat a lot of food. I was a volume eater—I needed to feel full and satisfied. So I decided to try that on my own. I focused on the foods I could eat lots of, that made me feel satisfied, but that didn’t cause me to gain weight.

And by the end of my freshman year, I was shocked.

For the first time—all on my own—I’d not only managed to maintain my summer weight loss, I’d actually dropped even more pounds during the school year!

I was so excited. I had discovered the formula that worked for me. It wasn’t a new diet—it was a new mindset. And once I embraced it, I kept on losing weight, all through high school and when I went to college.

Eventually I got down to 145 pounds.  Finally, for the first time ever, I felt strong and confident. I was so happy at 145.  I was a size 8 — the lowest size I’d been since I was literally 8 years old. I was a single digit! And the best part, was that I was able to maintain that weight—without denying myself or telling myself “no” all the time.

So I was able to stay a size 8—through the rest of college, when I started my nutrition practice, met my husband, and got married…

And then I got pregnant. Pregnancy for me was wild. For years, I was in such control of my body. Then suddenly it took a whole different shape. But instead of fighting, I let the pregnancy be what it wanted to be. Until the third trimester…it was like a switch flipped in my head. It was time to get back to my weight loss mindset. During pregnancy, the very best nutrition is especially important, as it affects fetal development.

So I refocused. I thought about the hundreds of clients I’d helped, and the principles that had worked not just for them, but for me as well.

So after I delivered my beautiful daughter Olivia, I got right to work. I wasn’t just ready… I was excited. I had a new purpose now — my daughter. And I just wanted to be the best I could possibly be.

Although I dreaded taking these “before” pics in tight clothes (I knew they would show everything), I had to do it.  Because — as I got ready to use all the weight-loss tactics I’d collected over my lifetime — I wanted a detailed record of this journey so I’d know exactly what worked and what didn’t…in real time.

And the good news is, it worked better than I could have ever imagined. I not only got back to my 145 and redefined my face skin with the help of the many matcha face mask benefits, I kept going. I went from post-baby body — all the way down to 120 pounds — and I’ve stayed around that weight for over 2 years… You know what might be the most amazing part? It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I always felt full and satisfied. I never deprived myself. And I never missed a meal.

I just relied on a few simple principles that allowed me to lose weight while still living my life. Because that’s everyone’s ultimate goal, right? To be happy. That’s still my goal as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. That’s why I took the principles that worked for me and combined them into one convenient, healthy approach to eating called 2B Mindset. You should see how it’s helped my clients.

Men and women of every age. Some with 10 pounds to lose, some with 110 pounds to lose. People with emotional eating challenges. People who never thought they could lose weight and learn how to keep it off.

What they love about the 2B Mindset — is that it’s practical. There’s no counting calories. No points. No cutting out whole food groups. You don’t even need to exercise (but I promise, once you start feeling amazing, you’re going to want to move your body—not to mention how good it’s going to make you feel). Before long, you’ll see that the 2B Mindset is so easy—and even fun—that it seems like second nature.

With 2B Mindset, I want to help you win the weight-loss battle for good. So you can go on enjoying your food and living your life to the fullest.

Shift Shop Test Group Results

I’m so excited for the release of Shift Shop!  I got to preview the workout LIVE in Punta Cana and have followed all the amazing Test Group Results from fellow coach friends (many of their stories are below).  Make sure you fill out the application to join my exclusive Shift Shop Launch Group!  The Shift Shop Release Date is July 12th, 2017.  Our group will start shortly after that.  Make sure you reserve your spot ASAP!  (NOTE:  Please only apply if you are not already actively working with another coach).

shift shop test group resultsThat’s a wrap on round 1 of the Shift Shop Test Group and I was invited back for round TWO, starting today ? You better bet I said YES, to a program and trainer Chris Downing, that has dramatically transformed me on the INSIDE: in my coaching business, in my personal life and as a mom more than anything and I KNOW that what has happened on the INSIDE these last 21 days is about to show on the outside the next 21 days ?
.
⬇️ 11 inches: including 3 on my waist, 2 on each thigh ?
⬇️ 9lbs: extremely shocking considering it was taking me months after my 75lb weight loss to lose 1 lb!
.
I shared my side befores/afters yesterday…because it is ALWAYS easier postpartum to see my results that way, than head on. My midsection is still taking its sweet time to catch up and I’m completely ok with that, because it has taught me patience and grace on my journey. It has also allowed me to focus on the bigger picture and relate more to those who have a longer journey out in front of them that might feel like a huge mountain at times.
.
More than anything, this test group and Chris, have taught me how to be a better coach!
.
I was never a “challenger” and I never had a “coach” — I kind of just started with coaching others. But we ALL need coaches!! For the first time — I was the challenger. For the first time, I had experienced the POWER of having a coach. Yes, I believed in the importance of what I offered as a coach, but not like I do now! Everyone needs a coach and Chris has taught ME how to be the best coach I can possibly be! There are things I would have never experienced, that I can now share with my challengers, had it not been for him and this Test Group experience! I now have SO much more to give and I sincerely apologize to my coaches and my challengers for not giving you the experience I had the last 21 days — simply because I had never experienced it myself ? Be prepared for my current and future groups to be insanely different ? AN EXPERIENCE! This whole thing has been an experience.
.
For the first time, I really understood how my challengers and clients have felt in groups.
✅ the fear of failure
✅ the fear of letting my coach down
✅ the comparison game, which sometimes kept me from wanting to check into the group
✅ the doubt
✅ the mind-F our brains put us through to keep us comfortable
✅ the excuses that seem like valid reasons at the time
.
Comparison was the biggest thing I battled in this group, even though I PREACH not comparing yourself to others journey — it is so hard not to when you’re confined to a group of people sharing their results constantly. I won’t lie. There were a ton of coaches in this test group, going from ripped and maybe a little bloated prior to INSANELY ripped after, which to someone like me, moving at a ?pace, can feel a tad discouraging. I truly felt like my clients do for the FIRST time! But that was where my mind focused initially, so then I started to pay attention to EVERYONE else! There were actually MORE of us who had been on a longggg journey of weight loss and have become somewhat weight loss resistant, who STILL were still seeing amazing progress! There were some who still have 100+ lbs to lose and they were KILLING it on their journey!
.
For the first time in my coaching career, I can honestly say that this program is for ANYONE and it WILL be the most transformative program anyone will do! Not because of the physical aspects, but the mental aspects.
.
This was just in TWENTY ONE DAYS! In my opinion, no program should ever be under 60 days and I’m so happy this program includes an AMPLIFIED round TWO ? 21 days is just enough time to get going on creating a habit and SHIFTING your mindset and the results from the last 2 weeks won’t show for me until the end of round 2 — you watch! ? But I have a feeling that I’ll be doing this program many times!

shift shop test group results

Alright…here they are…my results from Round 1 of the Shift Shop test group!
.
Honestly, I was a bit hesitant to share. I saw all of the amazing results from others in the test group and started playing the comparison game. I don’t think my pictures are anywhere close to showing awesome results like many of the other test group participants. Did I really do good enough? I stopped and thought about the effort I put in and I can truly say that I did do my best and need to be proud. This is what I know:
.
?I never missed a workout. Even though we travelled 2 out of the 3 weekends, I planned ahead and got it done!
?I followed the nutrition plan almost to a T with only a couple of “off” moments.
?I surprised myself by what limits I really could push myself to. I went into the program thinking I would have to modify most of it. I pushed myself to “try before I modify” and I was able to do much more than I thought. I may not be the fastest, but I’m getting faster! ?
?I continue to have a mindset shift when it comes to nutrition. Doing the Ultimate Reset back in February really helped start it off and the Shift Shophelped strengthen my ability to make good choices and fuel my body instead of just shuffling food into my mouth. I’m far from perfect but definitely improving!
?I shared my journey daily and felt amazing support from all of you! ?
.
So, yes, I am proud of the 9lbs and 6 inches I lost in the 21 days. But, I am more proud of my mindset and the fact that I WANT to keep going! I’m EXCITED to do a second round and continue to get results! ?
.
shift shop test group results

As promised Here they are…Round one of the shift shop is in the books!!

I dreaded taking before pictures because I kinda let myself have a free for all since I found out I was going to be apart of the test group. When I saw the pictures I actually didn’t think they were as bad as I thought.

This was not easy and on day 7 1/2-8 1/2 I wanted to quit! The mental shiftof the shift shop was hard! Once I made it there was no stopping me. I completed every single workout and my main struggle came from my nutrition, which surprised me! I honestly didn’t expect the first week to be as hard as it was because looking at the plan it seemed pretty simple. It made me realize how much I was mindlessly snacking and picking off plates here and there.

When I took my after pictures I didn’t think I would see a difference. My clothes felt better and my confidence was high but the scale didn’t really move a whole lot in the last two weeks. The scale is a liar incase you didn’t know ?

I’m the most confident I have been in the last two years and that is the thing I’m most proud of in the last 21 days. To bad you can’t show that in photos ?

I’m excited for round 2 and love the style and lay out of the workouts. I’m excited to see where round 2 takes me and I can not wait to take you all through this program in July!

By the way, these aren’t easy to post. It’s hard to put yourself out there but I want to show you all what can happen in 21 days when you set your mind to it!

Stats
-6lbs
I lost 8.5 inches total with 2.5 inches off my waist and 2 inches off my hips

shift shop test group results

The honest truth is that I didn’t want to share this because my physical results were nowhere near some of the amazing results coming in from our coach test group. Being selected for this test group was an absolute honor and true blessing. The BIG changes that I made CANNOT be captured in a photo.

For 3 weeks I became a true challenger again. I made a choice to go all in and get control.
– I committed to the meal plan and followed it 90%. This is amazing considering my binge eating was taking over my life again.
– I never missed my daily dose of dense nutrition. It helped with the cravings and gave me the energy I needed.
– I used our performance line because when you train like an athlete you have to give your body what it needs to perform.
– I never missed a workout, I even had to modify at the beginning, and I got my week day workouts in before taking kids to school!
– I shared my journey daily which gave me the accountability I needed to continue forward even when it was so hard.
In 3 weeks I got mentally and physically stronger, leaner, quicker, and my focus and mindset are on a new level.

I may have only lost 3 pounds and 6.5 inches, but what I gained outweighs those numbers. My battle with binge eating is officially not controlling me anymore.

The best part of my Shift Shop journey was having my husband take this journey with me. I completely got to watch him transform. He lost 13 pounds and 15 inches in only 3 weeks!!! He is faster, stronger, leaner, and excited to continue on with me with our meal plan!

We will also continue our journey with the Shift Shop. We are so beyond grateful for Chris Downing and Beachbody for bringing us this program. Perfect timing for a couple that truly needed to make a shift!

Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.

shift shop test group results

✨I still remember when corporate called and asked me to try out their newest unreleased program Shift Shop. I was honored, nervous & excited! Can you imagine being one of the few top coaches to try out this program?? Eekkkk! No pressure at all right? lol!
.
My goal was not to lose weight, my goal was to have a shift in my mindset. And well, that is exactly what happened. It taught me to push hard when it got challenging. It also taught me that winners don’t quit! And let me tell you, I did have several moments that I wanted to throw in the towel. One of my favorite experiences during this journey was being able to share my struggles & milestones with others in our accountability group. I experienced the one thing that makes Beachbody unique, accountability & support.
.
My review on Shift Shop:
.
Nutrition: it was a lot of food! Which is great because who doesn’t love eating? The last week was the real test since I was out of town on a business trip. What did I miss the most? My constant picking. It taught me to just eat my 5 meals a day and eliminate the junk. It was a win win overall.
.
Fitness: SO. MUCH. FUN! Although some moves were challenging, I felt great during my workouts! Plus the colorful markers make it exciting!
.
Overall I am happy with my results. Mentally I’ve had a shift, I’ve realized that results come from the inside out. I feel better than ever and more positive about my health. The toned legs are the cherry on top. My favorite thing was that during my workouts the trainer was constantly feeding my mind with positivity & motivation. I felt empowered during each workout!
.
I can’t wait for everyone to experience their shift this summer! Excited to start round 2 and see where my body and mind goes for another 21 days!

shift shop test group results

I haven’t felt this good about myself in a really long time. It’s not just about the weight, but the mental shift too.

The negative self talk is being replaced by positive affirmations ?

I am starting to look at food as FUEL ?

Healthy food tastes better than ever ?

I wake up feeling so lean each morning ??

I have ZERO cravings or urge to cheat ??

I feel so confident in my body and my ability to stay on track with this program over the next 5 weeks. I have no doubt that I will stay on track and see even more results.

Shaun T Week

Shaun T Week is Coming to Beachbody on Demand!   This is the first time in nearly three years that Shaun T has released new non-dance workouts.  I’m so excited!  Here’s how it will work:  The workouts will drop ONE AT A TIME on Beachbody on Demand. So on Monday, we will get INSANE BASICS. On Tuesday, we’ll get workout two and so on.  The week focuses on dialing in those fundamentals and then taking them to the next level.

This program doesn’t come with its own nutrition plan, but I recommend following either the T25 nutrition plan or the Portion Fix container system.  Workouts are 25-42 minutes in length, and there will be a modifier.  If you like workouts like T25 or Insanity, you won’t want to miss it!

  • Share a sweaty selfie of you with your Beachbody DVD

How to Stay on Track: Memorial Day Weekend

When it comes to maintaining healthy habits, nothing can make you lose your mojo faster than a vacation or long holiday weekend. You’re faced with temptation everywhere, and it seems impossible to stick to your healthy routine.  It doesn’t have to be that way!  Don’t let those days away undo all your hard work.  Before you leave home, mentally prepare yourself- and read these tips on how to stick to a diet while on vacation:

Healthy Eating

  • If you’re heading out of town, bring along healthy breakfast items, snacks and lunches so you can eat at least one healthy meal a day while away.
  • Have a strong WHY.  Remind yourself WHY clean eating and fitness is so important to you.  Think of your goals.  Hold these thoughts in the forefront of your mind.
  • If you’re heading to a potluck, bring healthy munchies.  Veggies and a clean-eating dip are great to have when you feel like nibbling.
  • Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water during the day and especially before you go out to eat.
  • “Pre-eat” before going out for a high-fat meal.  With a little food in your stomach, you’ll be less tempted to overeat and will be able to exercise more control.
  • Go easy on the alcohol and other calorie-laden beverages.  If you’re out drinking, order a large glass of water too.  Alternate one alcoholic beverage for one glass of water if you’re going to be having more than one. If you have a drinking problem, you better consider Pacific Ridge clinic.
  • Plan your cheat meal ahead of time.  One of my favorite things about traveling is trying new and different foods.  Plan ahead so you know when this meal will be, and enjoy it to the fullest!
  • Don’t let your blood sugar dip too low.  Pack healthy snacks like protein bars and Shakeology packets.

Restaurant Temptation

  • Look at the menu online and choose something healthy before you arrive.  That way, you won’t be tempted by all the great smells and order something you shouldn’t.
  • Ask your server not to bring the bread/chip basket
  • Order what you want, even if it’s not on the menu.  If the ingredients are on the menu, chances are the cook can make something to your specification even if it’s not listed.  Don’t be afraid to request what you want.
  • Whittle calories off what you order:  Skip the bun on a burger, order grilled instead of fried, and ask to have sauces, dressings and gravies served on the side, opt for steamed veggies instead of fries.
  • If you do order something less than healthy, go easy on the portion size.  Eat half now, save half for later.  Have the server bring a take home box to split the meal before you eat.  Or, split it with a friend or family member.
  • Be careful with appetizers.  Often, they’re loaded with fat and contain 1000 calories or more.  Side dishes too – instead of mashed potatoes or fries, order the salad with dressing on the side.
  • Often, menus will have icons next to meals indicating that they are a healthy or low-calorie choice.  Look for those.

Keep Moving!

  • Sometimes despite your best efforts you’re still going to take in more calories on vacation.  That’s OK – as long as you can make up for it with exercise.  Use an app like MyFitnessPal to track calories and calories out.
  • Does the hotel have a gym? Great! Use it.  Exercise first thing in the morning to get your day started on the right track.
  • Download Beachbody on Demand workouts before you go.  Did you know you can download SEVEN without Wifi access?
  • Stay active like the locals do – look up running/hiking trails, spots where you can rent bikes, kayaks, or other fun fitness “toys” – and make activity part of your getaway.

In the group, we will provide a daily assignment with all sorts of printables, recipes, menu plans and other ideas to help you succeed. We will discuss topics like emotional eating, eating out, traveling, temptations, late-night snacking and whatever the 21 Day Fix Menu Planning Toolgroup decides is relevant to them in their goals.  This is for you if you’d like:

  • 1:1 support
  • accountability
  • customized meal plans
  • tips for dealing with temptation
  • peer support
  • FUN AND PRIZES!

What is a Challenge Group?

These days, so many people are  motivated to work out but don’t have the time or the money to join a gym.  An online challenge group provides the support you’d normally find when working out with a trainer.  Fellow challengers act as fitness buddies there to motivate you, support you, and celebrate victories along the way – all without leaving your home.  All of this takes place online and on your own schedule.

How Does a Challenge Group Work?

My challenge groups take place either in a private Facebook group or via the My Challenge Tracker app where participants get to know each other and help provide support to others in reaching their goals with their fitness programs.  Even if you are already working out at home and eating a healthy diet, our groups can help take you to the next level.  Join us and you’ll get:

  • Advice and encouragement
  • Support from your fellow challengers
  • Customized meal plans, recipes

Each day my group of coaches and I share a pinned post and assignment designed to inform, motivate, and challenge.  I ask that my challengers check in daily because the more engaged they are with the group, the more success they have.  Since the group is private, the only other people that see your posts are those in the challenge group.

How Much Does a Challenge Group Cost?

There is no cost to participate in my challenge group.  However, you will need to purchase a Challenge Pack to have everything you need at home for the challenge as well as assign me as your coach.  A Challenge Pack includes your workout DVDs, Menu Plans, and a month of Shakeology shakes (24-30 servings).  Shakeology  is a complete meal replacement superfood shake high in protein, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and essential amino acids.  The cost of a Challenge Pack varies by program.  If cost is an issue, I can suggest programs that fit your budget or suggest ways to get the program cost covered entirely.

Are There Prizes?

YES! Beachbody gives away daily, monthly, quarterly, and even a large grand prize for the best transformation story. They award:

  • $500 daily winners
  • $1000 monthly winners (our challenger JILL recently won this!)
  • $5000 quarterly winners
  • $100,000 grand prize

If this sounds like something you’d like to do, fill out an application. I’ll help select a plan that’s just right for you.

Space is limited so I can give each challenger personalized attention.  Prep starts May 15th.  Workouts launch on May 22nd.

  • Support from your fellow challengers
  • Meal plans, recipes

Each day my group of coaches and I share a pinned post and assignment designed to inform, motivate, and challenge.  I ask that my challengers check in daily because the more engaged they are with the group, the more success they have.  Since the group is private, the only other people that see your posts are those in the challenge group.  You don’t have to worry about any of your friends seeing your posts show up in their feed.  If you don’t have a Facebook account, I suggest you create one for the challenge.  You don’t have to use your full name if you’re concerned with privacy issues.

How Much Does a Challenge Group Cost?

There is no cost to participate in my challenge group.  However, you will need to purchase a Challenge Pack to have everything you need at home for the challenge as well as assign me as your coach.  A Challenge Pack includes your workout DVDs, Menu Plans, and a month of Shakeology shakes (24-30 servings).  Shakeology  is a complete meal replacement superfood shake high in protein, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and essential amino acids.  The cost of a Challenge Pack varies by program.  If cost is an issue, I can suggest programs that fit your budget or suggest ways to get the program cost covered entirely.

Are There Prizes?

YES! Beachbody gives away daily, monthly, quarterly, and even a large grand prize for the best transformation story. They award:

  • $500 daily winners
  • $1000 monthly winners
  • $5000 quarterly winners
  • $100,000 grand prize

If this sounds like something you’d like to do, fill out an application. I’ll help select a plan that’s just right for you.

Space is limited so I can give each challenger personalized attention.  Prep starts February 23rd.  Workouts launch on February 27th.
