Back on Track After the Holidays!

Another 21 Day challenge is complete...My goal this month was to maintain my weight and tone my core. I chose 2 cardio programs and did a mixture of home workouts and group fitness classes. 

Counting down to vacation and hosting an online support group kept me motivated and even on days I wanted to stay in bed, I got up and completed the 30 minute workout!! I didn't skip a workout this round but there were days I didn't feel good so I modified the moves. 

I was excited to track my workouts and shakes in the Challenge Tracker app to qualify for the Health Bet as I want a piece of the prize that will be awarded in a few weeks. Who doesn't like getting a prize for something you already plan to do?!?

After the holidays it wasn't going to be easy to get back to a meal plan but starting with the 3 Day Refresh made it much easier since there was less to decide and plan!! 

Now I've got 2 weeks until vacation and there are 4 months until pool season!! I want to tone my legs and arms so I'm switching to a program that has more lifting which I'll do at home and will continue teaching Country Heat LIVE 3 days a week!!! 

This isn't something that happens overnight and it's not something you can stop and expect to maintain. It's continuous hard work day in and out to push play and eat healthy!! I continue to host groups and support others to give myself reminders and continue to grow healthier and happier each day!!

Are you ready to get started with your journey and invite others to join you so you have added accountability and support?!? 

Email or message me about being a co-host in the next group and get started in my Mentorship group Feb 1. Then have your friends and family join us in a new challenge group starting Feb 6. 

What's there to consider?!? 
Let's do this together!!

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
