Final Week of PIYO - Meal Plan and Progress

Alright so I'm officially DONE with PIYO!! I'm sure you are wondering what I thought and what my results were. I have to admit that I wasn't super strict with my portions so I didn't get the results I hoped for but I will say that my core is SO much more stronger. My abs feel AMAZING!! 

Here is PROOF

Piyo Results

It's crazy to think how far I've come in my journey since just starting out 2 years ago. I've some so far and with each and every Beachbody program that I do, I get closer and closer to my goals. Of course once you get down to loosing the last few pounds it starts getting tougher. That's why I totally plan on getting back on it with the 21 day fix and getting my portions in check. I do plan on having a little pumpkin here and there after my strict 21 days but I will be mindful of my portions. Instead of gaining inches this holiday season i'm keeping what I got and loosing a few, too!! That's what I love about this whole thing. Is that whatever my goals are I can just pull a program off the self and

 ROCK IT OUT! I never have to second guess exactly what I should be eating, how much, or what workouts I should be doing. I have it all here and the support of my challenge groups!! 

I'm telling you...... Once you join one of my challenge groups and discover the awesomesuace of Beachbody products you ain't ever going back!! :) 

If you are looking for a coach and a support system. Add me on Facebook HERE and send me a message. I would love to help you form your meal plan, get you the support you need, and help your workout program!! 

Anyways, enough about THAT!! 

Oh yea ..... Let me share with you my before and after picture

It's CRAZY!! 

So this is what the workouts are this week. I decided to finish up on week 7 and get going with the 21 Day Fix since I have exactly 21 days until Beachbody Leadership in Scottsdale, AZ. Pretty excited to shape and tone up. I know the fix will do it. Piyo gave me great results and I loved doing it. I totally feel a difference but I just partial to the 21 day fix. If you are interested in getting the Fix you should totally contact me so I can be your free coach and hook you up!! :) 

So here are week 7 workouts

Here is my meal plan that I used last week. Honestly is the only way a busy woman is going to stay on track. Whether you work full time, are a stay at home momma, or are just always on the go. You totally need to plan out your week for success. I even like to lay out my workout clothes ever night so I can just grab and go in the morning and get it knocked out. 

Planning is PLANNING FOR SUCCESS. Failure to PLAN is PLANNING FOR Failure! SO what's it going to be busy ladies!??! 

Let's PLAN 

Here is mine 

All of these recipes can be found in my clean eating tab. 

I'm telling you the Quinoa Enchilada Bake is AMAZING! Try it. 

If you are doing the fix it counts as 1 Red and 1  Yellow!! 

I love Piyo and plan on mixing it up with other programs in the future to keep my core in tune and my flexibility. 

I enjoyed this workout so much and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a low impact workout but AMAZING results. 

It's totally time to rock some 21 days of the FIX!! I'll be blogging about that next week and sharing my before pictures. It's ON!! Game face is officially LOCKED! 

Repeat after me 

I CAN DO HARD THINGS! 

Now go out there and make it happen!! We are in this together, RIGHT!?!? 

P90X3 - Be the FIRST to get your hands on this baby and join my TEST GROUP!

Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow .. It's only a day away .... EKKK!! I'm so excited about this new program coming out that we are already forming our Test Group.

This is the prefect time for this program to come out because I know how tough the Holidays are on everyone. It doesn't matter if you are a fit person or not. All those temptations around are DAUNTING!  I know some people like to take the holidays off and just relax, it doesn't matter as long you are already ready to get right back on track and keep pushing through.

The day after Thanksgiving I decided to jump on the Ultimate Reset which is a 21 day Detox and Cleanse. I got back on track and am making it happen. Next on the list is P90X3 baby!! It's all about balance. You can enjoy this fun time of year but always always get back on track and pick right back up where you left off.

So P90X3 - WOAH BUDDY! This is going to change some things for sure. I've always wanted to do P90X it's been on my to do list forever but I just couldn't get past the fact that it was 1 1/2 hour long workouts. I've seen others get amazing results but though "DARN, i'm just not sure I can commit to that long of a workout right now"

I guess the Fitness Gods answered my prayers because BOOM P90X in 30 min form!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!

Can you relate!?? 

I loved doing T25 because 25 minutes and you are DONEZO. Felt great to get an amazing workout in only 25 mins 5 Days a week and ready to bring on the day. It's fun, fast paced, and has modifications to every move. It's the perfect 25 min workout but it's the ONLY 25 min program we offer. Not anymore!! So excited to add some variety in the quick and effective workout department

TIME TO MEET P90X3 AND WELCOME IT TO THE FAMILY!! 

30 Minutes a Day / 6 Days a week - YOU CAN NO LONGER USE THE EXCUSE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TIME!!! 

Muscle acceleration explainedMany P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.

The base kit includes 16 workouts so you are never going to get bored.
Everything from cardio to strength, pilates, yoga and MMX there is something for everyone!  

The ideal P90X3-erIt may seem lofty to proclaim, but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone.  Everyone searching for tighter abs and leaner muscles, that is. But fitness novices and experts need not be afraid by P90X3’s come-one-come-all invitation. You don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. For the beginner, the variety of workouts in P90X3 is the perfect place to discover their fitness style. If the move can be modified there is a cast member showing you how. But don’t expect to be an expert on day one. (Yes, fitness veterans will still be challenged.) As Tony says, ”You don’t get off easy, you just get to finish faster!” 

It doesn’t stop thereAnd of course there are some bells and whistles too good to ignore. First off, the Coach exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased through me as your coach any time from December 10^th – 31^st (including Challenge Packs), you will receive a exclusive P90X3 baseball cap. What better way to spread the word about this revolutionary program?  

And last but not least, we have the app: Yes, now for the first time the P90X app is available on Android and iOS (will be available 12/10 on Android) The app includes P90X guided workouts, tools to track your reps, weights and progress. Launching soon, is the P90X3 addition – which brings you workout specific tracking modules, scheduling options and the motivation you need to power through the 90 days. P90X3 scheduling and tracking will be available on the app for Android on 12/10 and is coming soon for iPhone. Check out the app and get ready to bring it!

So when can you get it?

You can score your very own P90X3 on December 10th.  P90X3 will be released on my site in which you have a couple of options.  There will be an introductory price of $180 vs $205 for the Challenge Pack which includes the 90 day workout, the nutrition guide, program manual, schedule of workouts, shakeology, free 30 day trial of the club membership, free shipping and a discounted price when you get the package. 

Or your second option is to purchase the program alone.  That is $119.00, and the equipment needed are weights, bands and an optional pull up bar but you can use a band with an over the door attachment if you don't have one!  I did my whole first round of P90X with the bands and got amazing results.

If you would like to be notified when you can officially purchase the workout please go to my site and create a FREE account and you will receive an email from me the minute that it's released!  You won't want to wait, this is going to go fast!

The Test Results for this program totally ROCKED!! Gets me all excited. I've seen transformations happen right before my eyes with these programs in my group. So I can tell you first hand that when they say a program offers results - It does! It was designed perfectly to give you the best results possible. 

SO since this group is brand new and it's EXCITING I'm opening up a P90X3 Test Group. I opened up a T25 Test Group when it came out and it was SO much fun. 

Thing is I'm only selecting a SELECT number of people to join my group and get my support, accountability, and daily motivation from start to finish. My objective is to get you in the best shape of your life in 90 Days. That will be my full focus and goal. Is to help you get results. I will walk you through the entire program using the nutrition plan that is given with the program, the workouts, and you have access to me 24/7 as your COACH in a Private Closed Group. I will teach you how I do my meal prep each week, how I plan for success, and share my meal plans weekly so we can set you up for success. This group will start December 30th and run from start to finish of the entire 90 days. Just in time for all those New Year Resolutions you are making. 

Let's Vow to make this the last year you are making New Years Resolutions to loose weight! Start the New Year Right! 

REGISTRATION CLOSES DECEMBER 20TH, 2013

Weight loss Transformation Success Stories

30 Day T25 Transformation 

It's Friday afternoon and I just wanted to share with you a few success stories from varies challenge groups I have going right now. I could not contain my excitement for everyone. These are only a few of the large amount of transformations that are showing up in my inbox and in our group over the last few days. 

"It's worth every single penny!! This is my lifetime change and happiness. I no longer buy junk food, alcohol, fast food, or frappes. Also, no longer buy happy pills. So I save money. This challenge group keeps me so motivated and I look forward to checking in every morning." - Brittany Cady

This is Brittany and is actually a challenger that joined our group through one of my coaches! That is serious a direct reflection of the ripple effect!! Brittany's coach had an amazing transformation in one of my previous challenge groups and is now a coach touching lives just as I had hers. LOVE IT! So amazing to witness. Brittany is only on day 30 of her journey and has already lost 16 lbs and 10.5 inches. Her transformation is jaw dropping and I'm so proud of her. Not only has she changed the way her body looks but she has changed her outlook on life. So proud of this girl and am so happy for what her future holds. I love it when I can hear that because of Shakeology, working out, and the positivity of our challenge groups that a person was able to love life again and get off anti depressant medication. That means the absolute world to me. 

It would be easy for each of my challengers to make excuses. They are Mom's, have multiple jobs, and responsibilities. It would be easy to go to the drive-thru and grab a burger and fries, it would be easy to turn off the alarm clock and go back to sleep, it would be easy to skip the grocery shopping. However, these ladies decided to stay committed and determined. They leaned on each other and on our challenge group to push through and BAM - RESULTS! It's only 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week!! That's IT!!! You don't have to spend hours in the gym, you don't need any special equipment it comes with everything you need, and you can do it right in the comfort of your home. Literally get up, get dressed, and workout. Then check in with our challenge group and tell us you nailed it .. root on others in the group ... and do it again the next day. The one time investment is 100% worth it. 

So proud of you girls!! WOO HOO

Courtney's 60 Day T25 Transformation 

Courtney has two full time jobs and was still able to have a rocking transformation!! 25 mins a day 5 days a week. Commitment Dedication = SUCCESS 

She is starting Insanity next! I only see more success from her. 

Amanda's T25 60 day Transformation 

Amanda has been committed since day one! Posting in the group, sharing pictures, recipes, and every step of her journey. She has been a true inspiration! She got sick along her journey and wasn't able to completely commit to the Beta phase of T25 so she is starting over and ROCKING IT! Her transformation is amazing so I know she is going to only get better! Can't wait.

Amazing !!! 

I am so proud of each of these ladies who committed to clean eating, drinking their daily shakeology, and doing their workouts. Each of them are committed to continue their journey of this new and improved lifestyle they have created. I know that it's so hard to trust someone when they tell you that they are going to help you change your life and that this time really is going to be the time you actually do it ... you are actually going to get results and change everything. I'm so thankful for each of these girls trusting their coaches and our challenge groups to help them reach their goals. You see so many transformation stories through the internet, infomercials, and magazines but you never really think it's going to happen to you. You are SO scared to invest more money to a product that is just going to collect dust on your self. Anyone can get a workout program but all of my challengers will tell you that the SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY were the main factors of their success. The missing piece to these programs is that person to check in with you, support you, teach you what to eat, and place you in a group full of like minded people in the same spot as you. Having the encouragement when every day doesn't go perfect and allowing it to get you right back on track can not be replaced!!

For me personally I lost all of my baby weight through a challenge group just like the ones I offer now. I always try and give everyone the same tools that I had through my personal journey! Join my September 30th Challenge Group and be on your way to a better you this holiday season. Instead of gaining weight you will actually be loosing weight, look great in all of your holiday attire, and feel amazing when it comes time to getting together with family. Do it to hear the words "have you lost weight" Nothing can replace that feeling. This year your New Years Resolution won't be to loose weight.  Let's do it!! Are you ready!?!?
