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!?!? 

Piyo Week 6 - Meal Plan and Progress Update

Happy Monday!

It's time to get back on track! I've totally been slacking these last few weeks with getting in my workouts and giving my all. So here I am starting FRESH with Week 6 and giving this week my all! My meals will be prepped and ready to go and I know that I'm going to crush this. But even though I totally feel off track and like i'm slacking in the food and workout department I've been getting compliments that I look thinner!! YAY! That's always a win.

Sometimes I put so much work in to my challengers a coaches that I put myself on the back burner. TISK TISK - SO this week i'm MAKING SURE that I give myself that time because I know it's important. I preach all the time about having that "ME" time so time to practice what I Preach!

Piyo Sweat has to be one of my favorite workouts because just like it says I SWEAT!! Love a good sweat session. It shows me that It's WORKING! Of course getting new workout clothes always motivates me too. This is a new workout outfit from TJ MAXX - My all time favorite place to shop for my workout gear. Cheap, name brand, and cute! Reward yourself with new workout clothes every time you reach a goal.

I got most of my things to prep for the week but need to go to the grocery story and grab a few things. My husband worked yesterday so this week is a PREP MONDAY! However, I did have my Shakeolgoy for Breakfast and Greek Yogurt for a snack and getting ready to have my salad for lunch. 

Totally going in full force prep mode - Maybe i'll share some pictures with you guys in my next blog post :) 

I know that prepping can be a struggle for a lot of people. It's hard to know exactly what to eat, when to eat it, what to pair it with, and how much to eat. I totally want to help you take the thinking out of it and just DO IT! It really is quite easy once you get the hang of it. 

I've taught my challengers well. Below is a picture of my once challenger now COACH Brooke showing off her Meal Prep!! This is the same way I do it weekly! 

Fish

Chicken Breast

Lean Ground Turkey

Steamed Veggies

Quinoa

Sweet Potatoes

Romaine Leafs for Wraps

Hummus

and Hard Boiled Eggs 

Super Simple and you are ready for an awesome week.

Week 2 Piyo Meal Plan and Progress Update

Piyo Week 2 

I ROCKED Week Two of Piyo and am officially DONE!! So now I have a good feel of the workouts and I know that EVERYONE wants to know what I think of it.

I am actually loving it and am surprised. I am missing lifting some weights and the high intensity cardio. I am adding in some runs because I really enjoy getting out and enjoying some fresh air with my littles.

I do love all the core work and flexibility that is coming with this program. It's a nice break for the pounding I normally give myself. Not every workout gives me a huge sweat so I make sure to really push myself in every workout and do as much as I can. That really where the results lie.

I figure if I'm already awake, I might as well give it my all.

I am loving the "SWEAT" workout!! Man is that workout SWEATY and it totally engages my core and I just simply feel amazing afterwards. I really love Piyo Core as well. Both are great workouts, challenging, and push me in the areas I need the most work. 

The upper body workout is REALLY short I feel - Only 20 minutes! I am all about feeling the BURN so I have been adding in my run on those days!! I love running. 

2 miles down! First run in a long time. 

I started Week 2 off with doing the 3 Day Refresh. This is a new cleanse that just came out and I must say I felt amazing afterwards. Totally refreshed, lost 3.5 pounds and was totally back on track after a few weeks of over indulging.

3 Day Refresh Results 

Right after the Refresh was some 4th of July FUN!

The answer is 

YES, I still worked out 

Yes, it was a challenge 

Yes, I had a few margaritas, pizza, and goodies

Did I get right back on track? Yep! 

It's always challenging when a holiday comes up, you are heading to a BBQ, have family around, ect. But you can always CONTROL every situation. It's all about choices. If you want to stay on track - Then bring a Salad that you enjoy so that you have a healthy choice. Use your will power, double up workouts. 

You CONTROL what you put in your mouth! :) 

Workout done and ready for 4th of July Fun

I'm telling you, It's HOT in Hawaii and I'm not a shorts girl. I always felt insecure about it and it felt amazing to slip these on and feel comfortable wearing them. Nothing beats that Non-Scale Victory!

One thing about Piyo is you aren't getting a high calorie burn so it's important to stick to your meal plan and watch your portions. I LOVE my carbs so it's been a struggle making sure that I stick to the meal plan and don't add in but It's a good struggle. It's helping me stay on track and stay conscious of the things i'm adding in my diet. 

Here is my meal plan for the week. 

Having a plan totally keeps me on track through out the week. Sometimes I have to switch things around or don't get around to making every single meal because we decide on something quick and easy or have leftovers but this reminds me that I have a plan and will always have clean and healthy meals in the house. I also use Sundays to prep anything that I need for the week. I like to baggy up my veggies so I can just grab them and go. Eggs are always my go to when I'm feeling lazy and need a quick go to for something clean. 

This is the type of greek yogurt I get! No added sugars or fruit. Just plain 0% Greek Yogurt and then I add in my own fresh fruit, cinnamon, and a squirt of honey. Doesn't give you all that added sugar and junk and tastes just as good, I actually think better.

P90X3 Week 3 & 4 Update and Progress

P90X3 Progress Update

Seriously, where do the weeks go!?!? I feel like this program just flies by. My Challengers in my test group are already past day 60 and on their last 30 days!! The weeks just fly on by!! I am totally seeing results with this program and feeling stronger each and every day. The workouts are totally challenging me in all the right ways. Right when I feel like I have the workout mastered I add on weights or the schedule gets switched up and I'm back to being challenged again. That's exactly how I like it and know that it's working me in all the right ways. 

I'm following the classic schedule and weeks 1-3 you stick with the same schedule!! So i've been following this same schedule of workouts for the last 3 weeks - Love Hate Relationship for sure!! 

The Workouts:

Monday:Total Synergistics which I love

Tuesday:  Agility X

Wednesday:  X3 Yoga

Thursday:  The Challenge

Friday:  CVX

Saturday:  The Warrior

Sunday:  Rest or Dynamix

I totally LOVED this week and am so ready to change it up in week 4!! This is one of my favorite programs for sure! I love how strong and lean I feel and Tony seriously cracks me up!! 

I'm totally seeing some definition happening in my abs, arms, and legs. We only have less than a month till our success club cruise and I'm so excited for this!! I want to feel confident in my bikini, so there is no time to MESS AROUND!! It's on!! 

My Meal Plan isn't anything special. Same as it always is!! Complex Carb + Protein and limited to 2 starchy carbs a day. I have my Shakeology every morning for breakfast!! Quick easy and out the door! It's game on this week! I got my menu ready to go and I ROCKED IT! You can find all the clean eating recipes on the tab on my blog. 

Every day for breakfast you can see that I drink my Shakeology.  I am slightly addicted to chocolate Shakeology because I love chocolate and it is my one sweet fix. I shake it up with water and ice most of the time and it's easy when I'm in a rush or just want something quick to make.

I was late on blogging so had to blog Week 3 and 4 together!! Week 4 is amazing!!! It's called the transition phase and it's such a "break" from the last three weeks of butt kicking. Oh and just because I say REST doesn't mean it was easy .. I still worked on core, stability, more cardio, and lots of stretching. I wasn't so great at holding the moves. I'm glad i'm able to do it where no one can see me because WOW I am not good at balancing myself but I know that it will only get better. I was sore form all of the different poses but it was a good sore.

Here are the workouts: 

Day 1 was Isometrix 

Day 2 Dynamix

Day 3 ACCELERATOR

Day 4 Pilates X

Day 5 CVX

Day 6 - Yoga

Isometrix- was a total challenge for me and holding the moves was not really my strong suite but I did it and made it work and it challenged me in a good way. 

Dynamix - Is all about slowing down breathing and stretching  Not really my cup of  tea but I got it done and didn't skip it. 

Accelerator - SERIOUSLY kicked my Butt and one of my Favorite workouts!! FAVORITE! 

Pilates X - Is a total body workout and I was so sore it hurt to laugh!! I rocked it but WOW was I challenged but it felt good. 

CVX - I love cardio with weights because even though the workouts are only 30 minutes long you are seriously getting a rocking workout. I'm always dripping in sweat and feeling awesome after this workout. Feels great to mix the best of both worlds to get a whole body workout. 

Yoga - This workout allows me to slow down a bit, get some good core and stretching in, and come out feeling in tune with my body! I always feel fresh and ready to take on the day. It may seem like it isn't a good workout but I always come out feeling sore the next day. 

DAY 7 is always my rest day and my day to nap, relax, and prep for a new week. 

And of course i'm going to share my meal plan with you because that's how I do things! I plan so that I'm not stressing what we are going to eat, so that the house is always full of healthy eats, and so that being busy and unplanned doesn't become an excuse for getting off track. It makes life simple and else stressful. I love my sunday meal planning and teach my challengers to do the same. 

Oh and I wanted to share with you my challengers 60 day results. She totally has rocked it! I'm so proud of her!!
