Week 4 Piyo Meal Plan and Progress Update

Piyo Week Four Update

Alright it's OFFICIALLY Week 5 in the HOUSE ..... I'm excited to get into week 5 and turn up the FIRE!! I'll tell you I went in to this thing not thinking I would get really good results and that it would be too low impact for me. I'm proven WRONG every single week. I really feel my core tightening up and my flexibility and balance getting stronger. For someone who is a runner this is working WONDERS for me. I feel like my runs are easier and my strides are much better. Loving this!

Every workout i'm thinking "was that enough" but the next day i'm always sore and feeling the burn. I know with out a doubt this program is working. I don't really want to lose any weight, just want to tone up, and improve flexibility. 

I know that the heat is about to be turned up this next month and I'm ready!! I know that Chalene Johnson designed this program to give good results. She is trust worthy and she knows her stuff. Her program, TurboFire was the very first program I committed to 2 years ago and I got in the best shape of my life. Her nutrition plans rock and I know she put together a program that is designed PERFECT! I'm trusting the process and pushing through. 

I get a lot of challengers in my groups who don't see results in the first week and decide to just quit. These programs are designed to give you the best results and they have been tested. Trust the process people and KNOW that just because you aren't dripping in sweat, spending hours in a gym, or feeling "it" doesn't mean the results aren't coming. Put all you can in the full 60 days, give it all you got, and the results will COME! Pinky Promise! Don't forget why you started, don't jump to the next thing because it doesn't give you that "quick fix" .... Keep going and I promise the Prize will come with Consistency and Dedication. 

I use to be one of those people that would jump to one fad diet to the next in hopes of getting quick results. The moment I decided to change my eating habits, take before pictures, measurements, and just wake up ever day with the intention to do my best -- The results just CAME! Not over night, Not in ONE day, Two days, Three days, or even a week but OVER TIME!! 

In fact my mind was so screwed up that I didn't even compare my pictures when I did TurboFire because I couldn't SEE the results I didn't believe I had any. It wasn't until I decided to compare Day 1 to that moment that my mind was blown. I'm telling you people .... every single time you choose that healthy meal over fast food, do a workout, and prep your meals for the week, CHANGE IS HAPPENING!! Know that every little bit does matter. 

I can tell you that I totally feel some NON SCALE VICTORIES through this phase. 

I can hold a plank longer than ever, I can do more of the tricep push-ups than I could in the beginning and I am doing a lot more of the advanced moves that I couldn't do in the beginning. Totally seeing the changes little by little -- Day by Day!! 

Here is this weeks workout schedule - 

Monday: Sweat 

Tuesday: Define Lower Body

Wednesday: Core 

Thursday: Define Upper Body

Friday: Rest 

Saturday: Sweat 

Sunday: Core 

This week I did some Hardcore prepping and I loved it. I felt more focused this week than ever before. It's nothing fancy but it kept me full and satisfied. 

Aspragus and Green beans are the veggies that I don't mind sticking with each and every day so that's what i'm sticking with. Got to find what you love and then just make it happen. 

So here is what I prepped this week: 

Meatloaf Muffins - This recipe made 12. So it was a perfect snack for the week

Roasted Root Melody for my healthy carb 

I made a big batch of Quinoa 

I baked some chicken breasts. This week I'll share my baked chicken recipe. It's YUMMY

I steamed some Asparagus and Green beans. I boiled a pot of water and threw in the asparagus for about 5 minutes and then tossed it in cold water and ice to stop the cooking process. I then topped it with a little salt. I did the same thing with the green beans. First I cut off all the stems and then boiled. 

I also had some mushrooms on hand so I sliced those up and pan sautéed them in siracha hot sauce

and a little light soy sauce. So good. Then I just put it over my veggies.

Then I took my strawberries, blackberries, and blue berries, sliced it all up and threw it in a Tupperware and a little lemon juice. 

This was perfect for my greek yogurt for my am snack. 

I totally feel and see some progress in my core 

Here is exactly what i'm eating this week:

I'm so excited to start this next month of Piyo and totally kill it!! 

Oh yea and do you love my new workout tank? 

I'm a Texas girl so of course I had to get this workout tank!! I think I got it from TeeSpring? I'm not positive. It was one of those deals. But i'm loving it!!

Piyo Meal Plan and Prep! Piyo is FINALLY here!

Piyo is officially here!

Yep, it's official I have started my Piyo journey!! I am extremely excited to share with you my weekly progress and meal plans. I am going all in with this program, giving it 100%, and not missing one workout along the way. I always go for the high intensity type workouts. I even ran my first half marathon last year and plan to do a full marathon in December. This is going to be great to offer my body some flexibility and give it a little care before going through intense training.

Piyo is here - Day 1 

My main goal for Piyo is to tone up, increase my flexibility, and build a strong core. I still have about 10 pounds that I would love to loose but I never focus on the scale but instead in how I feel and how my clothes fit. Seriously, throw that scale out!! 

So here is what Week 1 Looks like: 

My Booty is sore .. but Excuses don't burn Calories! 

Day 1: Align The Fundamentals. This is 40 minutes long but really breaks down every move so that you can learn the correct form to get the best results from this program. 

Day 2: Define - Lower Body. 25 minute workout that gives full focus on the lower half of your body. YOUR BUM!! HEE HEE! 

Rocking it out

Day 3: Define - Upper Body. 35 minute workout that focuses on the entire upper part of your body, triceps, biceps, and shoulders. 

Day 4: Sweat 35 minutes of fast paced cardio, yoga flow, and body weight resistance training to help sculpt your whole body. 

Day 5: REST

Day 6: Define Lower Body

Day 7: Define Upper Body

Weel 1 is COMPLETE! I got my workouts mixed up a little bit in there but I adjusted! :) 

I am using my 21 day fix containers to portion out my food and am using the Piyo meal plan. 

The first thing I did when I got the program was opened the nutrition guide and in there it has a spot where you can calculate the calories you need daily. Mine came out to 1,135! If it's lower than 1200 you just round up. It's unhealthy to eat less than that a day. So since I wouldn't mind loosing a few pounds, according to the book I will consume 1200 calories a day. I am following the Piyo get lean plan which sets a plan up to gives you the energy you need to POWER through those workouts. 

Don't try and mess with the meal plan. It truly does have your best health needs in mind. If you eat less than the calories it states you should have for too many days you can hurt your body and metabolism. Instead of doing good you will actually be hurting yourself in the long run. Plus, it's not something you can maintain. 

Don't get stressed out about sticking with the exact numbers in the book. As long as you are staying with in 200 - 300 calories in your range you will be good. 

Here is my target range for my eating plan according to the nutrition plan: 

4 servings of primary vegetables 

2 servings of secondary vegetables and grains

2 servings of fresh fruit

4 servings of lean protein

3 servings of healthy fat

What is PIYO?

I can tell you one thing I absolutely ADORE Chalene Johnson. She is the reason that I lost 35 pounds in just 90 days with her TurboFire workout. TurboFire is all about high intensity, kickboxing, dancing, and HITT training. I totally didn't even feel like I was working out with this program. It felt like a dance party in my living room. 

If you follow Team Beachbody or Chalene Johnson you know that anything she provides you with is OFF THE HOOK! It's always simply amazing and will offer amazing results. 

I've never been really big into Pilates and Yoga type workouts but I knew that if Chalene said it would offer results then it was MONEY! I trust this lady and I know that it's going to do so much for my body in flexibility and strength. 

This program is an awesome combination of high intensity, low impact moves to improve your flexibility, stamina, and strength. It is Yoga and Pilates inspired but it pulls it all together to give you a cardio workout as well. 

The key is that it gives you results such as defined muscles, abs, core strength without the weights, the pounding of your joints and jumping around.  It's the perfect workout for those with mobility, joint and limitations due to injury or past experiences.

Why is PiYO going to be an amazing program that you MUST have? 

The key is that it gives you results such as defined muscles, abs, core strength without the weights, the pounding of your joints and jumping around.  It's the perfect workout for those with mobility, joint and limitations due to injury or past experiences. I am asked often about Beachbody having a low impact workout program that can be done from home and BOOM this is it. Beachbody is all about ASKING and you shall RECEIVE! This is going to be a GAME CHANGING PROGRAM for so many that have injuries or are just Yoga lovers that want the option to do it from home. 

PiYo will be released right after our Coach Summit in June.  My estimated guess for the release is Monday June 23rd.  So keep your eyes out for the official release and how to score your copy.  I will be updating my social media sites with all the latest information so make sure to follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
