Dream BIG

As you can imagine NO one is perfect, so you can understand when things don't go as planned and people fall off the wagon from time to time. You may lose sight of your goals, which can be an indicator that your not dreaming big enough and at the same time not making smaller goals that lead you to those grander ones. I myself have gotten a reality check lately and understand the importance of goal setting. Don't sell yourself short. Your ARE worth it, speak positive affirmations DAILY, in the mirror, write them down, feel them, taste them, envision them. I believe I was made for more and I believe in a greater plan and I'm willing to seize it ;)

*REAL TALK* Camping with no electricity for a week was a GREAT refresh to bring it back to the simple life of getting up and seizing the day with no agenda.

-Biking each day a few miles to the shower house, Kayaking, Biking through the forest, outdoor games, relaxing, and enjoying friends and family... But now, time to get back in the groove.. I was totally making up a MILLION excuses to NOT workout, to slump around until Monday...

>> I Had to get it going, Took my pre-workout w/ the boyfriend and jumped down into the basement to get the week started right. . And BOY Am I glad I did, got in a NASTY, SWEATY, AMAZING workout, Wait PiYo?! YES, Strength Interval is by far my new fav next to BUns... 

NOW: Feeling motivated for the week, proud of myself, happy, accomplished, and SOO much more 

Working out has such amazing benefits BEYOND physical. The mental and emotional piece has truly had a major impact on how I'VE personally grown. I've always had a heart to help others, and didn't have a method or specific passion to drive that vehicle. This Opportunity has given me the chance to be ME, & help others on a level of interest to me. I work around MY schedule, and help others to attain a sense of freedom and be the person THEY want to be.

TRUST ME, I'm THE most Skeptical person, and I gave a stink eye to this opportunity for a long time before I saw the value I could bring to others and myself. . . My Philosophy is, that everyone wants to be happy, healthy, and be able to provide for their families as best they can.

>..< So If I told you there was something out there that could do ALL THAT & MORE, would be interested in hearing about it?? Would it be worth it to you to be able to have a savings for family vacations? To put a down payment on your dream home? To not fret when the water heater goes?

I don't know about you, but WHY Not ME?! I want more out of life, and I'm going ALL in... And I hope that those who are like minded join me, because I'm not one to settle

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse *Results*

After a holiday, to break through a plateau, to detox, to spark weight loss, whatever the reason maybe, the 3 day Shakeology cleanse is a great way to do so. Mine reason was to detox, and utilize self control for 3 days as a personal challenge after the Easter holiday.

I scheduled this in about a month ago, to do a shakeology cleanse at the end of April. So I began this past Monday morning. Got up as usual, make a shake, but instead of adding soy/coconut/flax milk or any type of additional contents I just added about 6 ice cubes and water, blended it up. When I got to work at 8am I made myself a cup of green tea. I was getting hungry around my usual 10am snack time, so that meant time for my optional fruit. I was more hungry than usual and continued to chug my water.

My initial weigh in was 128, I've managed to consistently stay in the 120's and low 130's, not bad, but I don't want to get back up into the 130's unless is with gained muscle mass. So day 2 weigh in, 125.4, I was like you gotta be kidding me!!! I had lost 2.6lbs in 1 day.Yes I know the our weight fluctuates, but geesh it was good to see those numbers!! The last time I saw that was probably high school. Tuesday weigh in, 123.4, HOLLY SMOKES,yes! I want to be in the mid 120's so I don't tea-tar into the 130's, so that was additional wight loss of 1.8lbs. Day 3, I woke up this am feeling confident and the scale read 123, so a grand total of 4.4lbs in 3 days!!! That's crazy!!

What Is The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

The Shakeology 3 day cleanse as the name implies is a program that you follow for 3 days that is designed to rid your body of any toxins, chemicals, and junk. This allows your body to process nutrientsmore efficiently which will in turn increase your body’s ability to lose weight through exercise and healthy eating. So simply put, the goal of the Shakeology 3 day cleanse it to optimize your body’s performance. By the way if you don’t know anything about Shakeology, go to the following blog post to learn what this stuff can do for you- Shakeology.

The main goal for the Shakeology 3 day cleanse isn’t for you to lose weight, but typically many people do lose weight. I’ve heard of people getting some amazing results with it and the average weight loss is 3 to 5 pounds in only 3 days. If you are already an athlete and you eat a clean and healthy diet, then you are less likely to lose weight, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the Shakeology 3 day cleanse.

Is The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse Like Your Typical Cleanse Where You Eat Hardly Anything And Feel Like A Zombie?

No, the Shakeology 3 day cleanse isn’t like your typical cleanse. A typical cleanse is where you have VERY few calories and VERY few nutrients for a few days to a few weeks. The Shakeology 3 day cleanse is a calorie restricted regimen, but it’s a nutrient dense plan. It depends on how you follow the plan, but with the Shakeology 3 day cleanse you’ll be eating often and be taking in anywhere between 800 to 1,200 calories per day. It’s advised that you take in more calories than that if you need too. So unlike most traditional cleanses you won’t be walking around your office all day feeling like a zombie for weeks. Now Let’s go into the “why.” Why exactly do people do the Shakeology 3 day cleanse?

Why & When To Do The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

People do cleanses for a number of reasons, but the most popular reasons are to lose weight, and/or  to “cleanse” your body of toxins and junk. I’ve heard of people doing the Shakeology 3 day cleanse after they get home from a vacation where they’ve been eating lots of junk and drinking lots of alcohol, I’ve heard of brides doing it before their wedding so they can get rid of as much excess weight as possible before their big day, and I’ve heard of people doing it before they start their fitness journey.

So then why and when vary from person to person, but the the one fact that remains is that if you’re going to do the Shakeology 3 day cleanse and you want to see results, you MUST stick with it and follow the regimen exactly as it’s laid out.

What Do You Need For The Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

Here’s your shopping list so that you can get started with the Shakeology 3 day cleanse. This is exactly what you need and as I’ve mentioned before, I highly advise that you get everything and follow the program to a T.

Here is another example of a person who did the cleanse. Stephanie Wharam. So freaking awesome!

1. Bag Of Shakeology. You’ll need to go ahead and get yourself a bag of shakeology by  Clicking Here his will be a 30 day bag. If you are serious about losing weight or just being fit and healthy then I highly recommend that you not only use Shakeology during the Shakeology 3 day cleanse, but that you also make it a part of your daily eating habits. My husband and I use Shakeology daily and it has had a major impact on our lives. Also, I recommend that when you order your Shakeology that you get it on the Home Direct aka Auto Ship plan. You will get free shipping and be saving a ton of money by doing that and you’ll also get free stuff.

2. Green Tea. You can buy individual bags of green tea at just about any grocery store. I recommend getting the natural and organic green tea tea bags. You’ll need at least 6 tea bags.

3. Fruit (optional). This is optional, but if you need the added calories then you’ll need to have some fruit that you enjoy such as apples, oranges, bananas, pears, etc. You’ll want to have enough so that you can eat 1 or 2 pieces of fruit per day.

4. Salad. I recommend that you avoid the iceberg lettuce and just buy a bag of the “darker green” lettuce. Iceberg lettuce has a very low nutrient density and it’s really just like eating water. So get a bag of spinach leaves or other darker green salad.

5. Chicken Or Fish (optional). This is also optional, but when I do the Shakeology 3 day cleanse it isn't optional for me. If you decide to get this you’ll need enough for 3 dinners to either go on top of your salad or with your salad. Obviously it needs to be natural, white grilled with no additives (nothing fried).

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?I get many people asking me how much the “Cleanse” costs… well, it isn’t a separate product from the Shakeology full month supply.  But as stated above, you should incorporate Shakeology in your daily routine (replacing 1 meal per day).  So, you will be using servings from your monthly supply AS PART of your Cleanse!
HERE’S THE COST BREAKDOWN:
1) RETAIL COST: $4.00/meal which comes to approx. $129.95 (plus Tax & S/H)
>> you want to order it on “HD” (Home Direct or Auto-Ship) which S/H is free + gifts!
2) COACH COST: $3.00/meal which comes to approx. $97.46 (plus tax)
>> Monthly Coach Membership fees is a very minimal $14.99 *notice it’s still cheaper*

There are more perks to ordering it on a Coach Membership…ask me for details!

It's been a chilly week thus far, ripping through work as always. I don't want to be ordinary. Toning up with the fix. Almost through the 21 days!!!! SO excited to share my results and show others that anything is possible when you try. Food, kitty, workout, boyfriend, struggles, getting through it all, one day at a time :)

It

Starting off my day right. Second Week of 21 day fix. Old fashioned Oats, Cinnamon, and a small Apple = 1 Yellow, and 1 Purple. Made a spice mixture that was in my book for the week. I put a sprinkle on my 2 Hard Boiled Eggs I also had = 1 Red Protein. Not too bad. Just starting to get a little hungry. Only drank 25 Fl Oz's of water which is about half of what I usually drink by noon. Off to the kitchen for more water. Then back to my paper that's due tomorrow. Thank goodness I took the day off from work :)

This program is kicking my ass, and guess what I don't mind it at all, as I'm getting fit and feeling great. It's not easy and I love when people join my journey with me :) 

The day in the life of Me: Today marks day 5 of the 21 day fix workouts and day 4 of the meal plan. Not too bad. A little hungry, alleviated this by evening out when I eat. 7:30 Breakfast - Chocolate Shakeology with 1/4 a banana and ice. 10 AM Purple aka fruit, mango puree with strawberries and pineapple. I stretched it out as I was busy around the office. Plain Greek yogurt with cinnamon - red. Drank some blueberry green tea, AmaZing, I love a little fruity flavor in it. Then onto Lunch: Spinach - green. Carrots - green. Feta (tomato basil), almonds, & peanuts - blue. sunflower seeds orange. Then Yellow oats cinnamon and 1/2 banana 2-3 hours later, and sweet potato around 3:32ish, yellow, mashed with cinnamon. Peach puree with dab of yogurt. Dinner, stuffed chicken with feta and spinach and asparagus 1 green 1 red.

Writing it all out there actually sounds like a lot of food. It's tough at times and I had 7 m&m's! No one is perfect but I do not want to hurt my results. One day at a time. Does this sound like something you could try to get you on track and eating the correct portion sizes???

It’s simple, it’s fast, and
it works. If you’re ready to get serious, 21 Day Fix can help you lose the weight.


Why is 21 Day Fix effective?
Because it’s so simple! You don’t have to count calories, points, or log your food into diet software. With 21 Day Fix, everything is laid out for you. All you have to do is use the specially designed portion-control containers and do one 30-minute workout per day. Commit to it for 21 days, and you’re going to love your results.

What makes 21 Day Fix unique?
It’s the only fitness and nutrition program that combines portion-control
containers and world-class workouts. By placing equal emphasis on fitness and
healthy portion control, 21 Day Fix can help anyone lose weight—and keep it
off—in a way that’s simple and sustainable. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds
or 100 pounds, you can do it with this program.

So she created short but effective workouts that take only 30 minutes a day, along with a simple eating plan that doesn’t require you to spend hours in the kitchen

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.

Do I have to do the workouts, or can I just follow the portion-control Eating Plan?
• 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.

Can I eat out at restaurants when I do 21 Day Fix?
• Yes! The Eating Plan includes a restaurant guide that shows you how to practice portion control at your favorite restaurants.

What does it mean when you say "no off-limit foods"?
• The 21 Day Fix Eating Plan shows you how to incorporate treats (like chocolate and wine) into the plan . . . and you can still lose weight.

What makes the 21 Day Fix workouts so effective?
• 21 Day Fix takes all of the guesswork out of working out. You know which workout to do
 each day and can be confident you're working your whole body efficiently in just 30 minutes a day.
• The workouts yield consistent calorie-burning results, unlike a treadmill workout that can have very inconsistent and inaccurate calorie counts.
• The 30-minute boot-camp style workouts keep your heart rate up throughout, so you have an effective and efficient workout that burns maximum calories.

• There's a modifier in every workout to show you how to take down the intensity while still getting awesome results.
• Trainer Autumn Calabrese created a 7-day-a-week schedule to give you the best results
 in just 21 days. Each day of the week is a different workout, all perfectly designed to avoid overtraining and keep you injury-free.
