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

The 21 Day Fix Weekly Meal Plan

Happy Saturday!! It's Saturday afternoon here in Hawaii Time and I'm already started to think about a NEW WEEK!! A new week means a new chance to make things right. BUT why do we even let it go this way? Why do we start every week strong with a new mind set but by Wednesday we are already telling ourselves "next week". We didn't have the chance to prep our meals that week, we are having some serious cravings by the end of the night, that pizza that tempted you WON. 

You beat your self up about it, put yourself down, promise tomorrow - When tomorrow comes you mess up again and then just go ahead and tell yourself MONDAY it is. Next week will be Better! 

You are NOT alone - I've DONE this SO many times!! 

The thing that I've come to FIND is that I don't have to do this anymore. I have my amazing challengers, the daily support needed, and at the end of the month I know that I'm going to share my progress. Unless you truly aren't ready mentally and physically to take on the challenge of bettering your life then YOU WILL SUCCEED. 

When you surround yourself around other people who have the same EXCUSES as you, it becomes much easier to CRUSH them and realize that you DO have time to make this happen and you aren't going to let everyone see you fall. I love that I get to wake up every day and surround myself with other like minded people who have dishes in their sink, kids to take care of, dinner to fix, a house to clean, and maybe even a full time job to go to. We NO LONGER let these excuses overtake our life and GIVE OURSELVES 30 minutes everyday to work on ourselves. We feel EMPOWERED by every workout we are able to cross off the calendar and by every HEALTHY choice we are able to make. At the end of the day we report in the group how AWESOME we did and if we failed we spill are hearts and are uplifted by others. The problem with not having this support is you ALLOW these EXCUSES to be a REASON you aren't successful. 

If you DO THIS ... Guess what - YOU ARE NORMAL!! Don't let your kids be your EXCUSE let them be your REASON!! It's time to DRAW THE LINE and CUT THE CRAP! It's okay to put aside a little bit of time for yourself. YOU ARE WORTH IT. You aren't being selfish you are leading your family to health and well being. You are setting an EXAMPLE that they can follow. You will have more energy then you EVER have to keep up with all the craziness of LIFE in general. 

Your time is NOW!! Grab YO running shoes, tie up those laces, get your workout gear on, and grab the workout gear because SUMMER IS COMING - READY OR NOT!! 

Are you ready!! Are you TRULY ready to let go of all of your excuses and finally DO THIS!!?!? 

No more coverups, no more feeling horrible about yourself, not wanting to run into anyone at the store because you are ashamed ... It's time to CHANGE your FUTURE! I've been where you have and my goal is to help each and every person so that they NEVER have to feel that way again. 

So are you ready!?!? 

Here is our PLAN: 

30 Minute Workouts 6 days a week 

You are setting your alarm for 5am - YEP I SAID IT!! 

This is the time that I have found that allows me to always get my workout done and leaves me with the least distractions. 

Every Sunday you are going to plan out your meals for the week just like I have below. You will use the 21 day nutrition guide to plan out your meals and any recipes from my blog and create a grocery list. Either that or you can use the one that I provide you in the group. I find it's better to start creating your own so you can get exactly what kind of food you like and learn how to do it on your own. 

After you grocery shop - It's time to PREP!! This totally makes a HUGE difference. 

Take time to cut up veggies, fruit, bake chicken for the week, and bag everything up. Then you are ready to just open up the fridge and go. Life becomes SIMPLE. 

                  

It's time to get MOVING and NEVER LOOK BACK!! Summer is here, ready or not and if you start now you will still have time to enjoy it HAPPY and CONFIDENT! Make a commitment TODAY and join my next 21 Day Challenge Group! Apply Below
