Love Yourself Inside Out Support & Accountability Group

In June of 2014, my emotions were out of sorts.  My youngest daughter had just turned 2.  The days of breastfeeding and even bottle feeding were gone, but she was still clingy and demanded my attention (well she still does).  My oldest daughter was 6 and still figuring out how to share her parents and also growing to be more independent.  I had a fabulous family, a warm home and a wonderful job, but I wasn’t completely happy. 

Although my schedule was busy and our plate was full of activities, there was still something that wasn’t completely right.  I would get angry over small things and disgusted when things weren’t done “my” way.  I had a VERY short fuse and little control over my emotions.  I considered counseling but decided if I could find a way to relieve the stress and gain “me” time daily I might be able to adjust my emotions on my own.  I also talked with my husband and we discussed the issues and he set me straight several times even when I didn’t want to hear it. 

Then I found exactly what I was looking for...an online health and fitness support and accountability group.  Along with the group I found new 30 minute daily home workouts, a portion control meal plan guide and inspiration from individuals with a shared vision to improve themselves.  Each day I rolled out of bed at 5am and drug myself to the basement for the workout.  I used modifications moves in the beginning because despite being athletic all my life, I was weak from child bearing and needed to strengthen my body inside and out. 

After the workouts, I logged onto the private Facebook group and read the morning post from my coach.  It was always inspirational and motivating and gave me something to think about throughout the day.   Throughout the day I thought about the post and having to rate myself at the end of the night which kept me on target with the meal plan I created weekly and helped me increase my water intake.  The private Facebook group also gave me an outlet to post my daily victories and struggles.  People I didn’t know were cheering me on and giving me advice and virtual high 5s and it felt great!!

When the first challenge was over (30 days), I had lost 5 pounds and my clothes were loose.  I was happy with my results, but even more excited that my emotions were more controllable.  Yes, throughout the month I had ups and downs, I was sad, disgusted, angry and scared at time, but mostly I was full of joy!!! I truly believe working through my emotions and having time again for myself help me grown and become better both inside AND out!!

So now , I want to pass on this amazing experience and opportunity I have found.  As a Beachbody Coach, I am co-hosting a “Love Yourself Inside & Out” Challenge Group that starts on Monday, February 8.  This will be a small, private group of individuals starting a new workout program and portion control eating plan for the first time.  Some of my friends I have met along my journey, that have also become coaches, and I will guide you through getting starting and staying focused for the 30 day challenge.  You will be part of a group with a shared vision to inspire and move forward toward your goals.

Let’s embrace the role all our emotions play to live a truly good life!!

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies.  I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good.  Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in.  My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option!  The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients:  1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make:  Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold. If you are interested in more healthy eating or Shakeology recipes or are looking for fitness support...create

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule.  The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls.  By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom.  Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago.  Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week.  My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked her a few questions th

Almond Joy candy vs. wonder whip

As Halloween approaches, candy options are more and more tempting.  Ok, maybe candy is tempting all year around!!  You want to think those little pieces of chocolate won't affect your weight goals, but they can.  Especially when it's hard to just eat one or two.  Personally, I would much rather have several bites of dessert than just one, so these wonder whip solutions are an amazing alternative to a few pieces of candy!! They are much more filling and satisfying!!  Whip up a bowl today and give your sweet tooth what it wants!!   Thanks to Ilana Muhlstein for sharing this recipe and her registered dietitian knowledge through the 2B Mindset Nutrition program and certified mentorship training!  B oth the Almond Joy candy and wonder whip have 235 calories, but you get a WHOLE cup with the whip rather than just two bites!!  Ingredients:  1 Cup 0-2% Plain Greek Yogurt 1 TBSP unsweetened Shredded Coconut 1 TBSP Cocoa Nibs 2 tsp. cocoa powder
