Post-Easter Fix & reFRESH!

Today marks 10 days out from Easter…the holiday of chocolate bunnies, sugary peeps, candy filled eggs, and temptations EVERYWHERE! I mean seriously – take a peak in the front door of Target…there is literally candy EVERYWHERE! And while its easy to think (and correct) that “one piece is A-Okay” that one piece tends to multiply and before you know it, you’re helping your kids look for their M&Ms that seem to have “disappeared”all of a sudden…trust me…I’ve been there!!!

But as Easter coincides with Spring we also know that Summer will then follow. As we sit 2 months out from Memorial Day I’ll admit I have SUMMER on my mind!!!  I know I want to feel and look my best this summer and I hope you do to! So…how do we combat this holiday craziness?

Enter:

Post-Easter Fix & reFRESH:

It is still hard for me to explain how drastically different I FEEL when I am eating clean, fueling my body with Shakeology – EVERY DAY – and exercising regularly! Naturally the results follow but its so much more than that. I am happier and healthier. I am a better mom and I am a better wife. I am more patient and all around HAPPIER…and I want everyone to have the opportunity to live a healthier and more fulfilling life too!

This group will provide you with daily clean eating tips, motivation, recipes so you do not get bored, and SHAKEOLOGY, a meal you can use EVERY day that is easy and convenient like those the stuff you find at those tempting Golden Arches or the overpriced lattes, but truly the HEALTHIEST MEAL OF THE DAY!

So…WHY Shakeology?

Shakeo cover

 It can help you:

  • Lose weight – especially if you replace a meal with Shakeology every day.
  • Reduce junk food cravings – drink it in the morning to enjoy this benefit throughout the day
  • Increase your energy and feel healthier.
  • Improve your digestion and regularity.

Hmmm…How????

  • Fiber and probiotics help you “get regular” so you eliminate toxins built up in your digestive system.
  • Proprietary blend of prebiotics and probiotics help create a healthy intestinal tract which aids digestion.
  • A healthier digestive system makes it easier to absorb key nutrients.
  • Digestive enzymes also help your body to increase the absorption of nutrients.

Long story short – Shakeology is NOT a weight loss shake, nor a protein shake… This is a HEALTH shake that is including your dense nutrition, health benefits, and includes your daily multi-vitamin!

Trust me…you can’t get this in anything else – plus it tastes like a dessert!!

Support…the “group” – what is it?

My Easter FIX clean eating and Shakeology challenge is just that! You will get 30 Days of support, motivation, tips, recipes, and be surrounded by a group of people who have the same or similar goes as you! I can’t promise that it will be easy but I can promise that if you stick with it, commit and keep pushing, you will get the results you’re looking for!

3 day refresh, customer results, customer testimonialsFor an extra little boost, I am also giving a FREE  3 DAY REFRESH when you sign up with ME as YOUR coach and order your Shakeology in Home Direct (HD).

I was listening to a call earlier this week and something just clicked. There isn’t such thing as bad fitness but there is a such thing as bad nutrition! How true is that!!! So now the true question…how can we combat that variable???

Most people do not understand that nutrition is 70-80% of the variable weight loss and it is my mission to help others understand how important it is to FUEL your body with proper, whole foods that are clean, balanced and NUTRITIOUS!

This week we celebrated the 6th birthday of Shakeology which coincided with the release of the new Super Shakeology Sampler Pack! To keep the celebration going, my team and I decided to create a 6 Day challenge group focused on NUTRITION!!!

In a nutshell, you get me – as your coach! 

Who would this group be good for?
  • Have you been interested/curious about Shakeology but not ready to make the investment and commit to an entire 30 day supply?
  • Have you been tossing around joining one of my groups but you are still on the fence about this whole “challenge thing” and if it would be “your thing”?

This is your chance! Its only a 6 day commitment, you have the chance to get all 6 of the Shakeolgoy flavors for just $29.95 and I promise…it will be fun!

Literally – what do you have to lose?

Spring has officially sprung and summer will be here before you know it! Stop thinking about it and just do it! You can purchase your Shakeology Sampler Pack and I will contact you about joining the group – or you can simply fill out the form below and we can go from there!

Peanut Butter No Bakes

Peanut Butter cookie, easy cookie, cookies in under 20 minutes, fast cookie recipe, Peanut butter no bake, gluten free cookie, Maegan Blinka,  oatmeal cookie recipe

I am usually ALL ABOUT healthy, clean eating…even with my sweet treats! However when my one and only sister and first time mama-to-be asks me to whip up my old time specialties for her baby shower weekend, naturally I obliged!

Gluten free has to count for something right?!

WHAT YOU NEED:

Peanut Butter cookie, easy cookie, cookies in under 20 minutes, fast cookie recipe, Peanut butter no bake, gluten free cookie, Maegan Blinka,

  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 2 cups All natural Peanut Butter
  • 4 cups of sugar (i know I know – WOWZERS!)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 6 cups old fashioned rolled oats

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

  • In a large saucepan, combine margarine, milk, sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  • Bring to a “rolling boil” – now this is the biggest part – a rolling boil means that there are large bubbles that do not go away when stirred.
  • Boil for 20-30 seconds (I usually set a timer. If you boil too long they will be dry but if you don’t do it long enough they won’t set up!)
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, stir in peanut butter until smooth.

Peanut Butter cookie, easy cookie, cookies in under 20 minutes, fast cookie recipe, Peanut butter no bake, gluten free cookie, Maegan Blinka,

  • Add oats and quickly drop onto waxed paper. I have found a pampered chef cookie scooper is the fastest and easiest way to do this but a spoon will also work!

2015-03-18 15.15.05

TIP: These cookies don’t actually “freeze” solid. I usually keep them in the freezer and its two fold. 1) They kind of taste fudge-like and 2) It keeps me from staring at them on the counter and inhaling an entire batch in one day!!! 

I hope you enjoy as much as my family and I do!

Sitting here mid-March about to get breakfast ready for my family and thinking about how different today’s March morning is compared to years past…

For 6 years, my winter months were spent working…literally, all day, 7 days a week – weekdays – weekends! By the time March came I was so mentally exhausted, miserable from the way I had spent the several months prior and ready for a change, but I didn’t think I could make one! That was simply the way it was!
I remember when M-TH, 5:00 used to mean it was time to place the dinner order to prep for AT LEAST another 5 hours of work!

Auditing wasn’t exactly a glorious job but it was a good job. A great job in fact that allowed me to provide for my family. But…with the arrival of baby #2 I knew I couldn’t do it any longer.
2 years ago I endured my LAST “busy season”. I longed to be home with my family but at the same time we had established a lifestyle we were comfortable with. Leaving my career in auditing meant I would be living a DREAM come true as a Stay at Home Mom…where I was meant to be…with my babies…but it also meant financially, we were going to have to make some changes…changes we were all willing to make…but changes nonetheless!

Last February we had a medical scare with Colt that landed us two nights in Children’s hospital. Thankfully nothing serious came as a result but we did receive a hefty bill. I still remember my stomach turning as I was writing that check to cover what insurance didn’t. Beyond blessed to have our little boy back to health but after 10 months of no longer working we didn’t exactly have “extra money” laying around. The best thing that came of that scare…as I sat watching my sick little boy sleep I was scrolling Facebook and saw a post about the 21-day fix…I was intrigued, asked questions, and went for it….and well, the rest is history!

Within a few short weeks I was feeling amazing, my family was eating better, I had more energy than my crazy toddler and Kyle and I made a decision that I would sign up as a Beachboy Coach. Never expecting to turn it into a CAREER but rather hoping that I could offset the cost of our Shakeology that we knew was helping us lead a healthier life. I never imagined I would be able to even come close to replacing the income I used to make as an Audit Manager but as I sit here today I realized that these first 10 weeks of 2015 mirror the same income I was bringing home as a “part-time” Audit Manager working 60+ hours a week.

How did this even happen???

In a nut shell, its been CONSISTENCY, HARD WORK, DEDICATION, and simply SHARING what has worked for me and helping others do the same!

I’m not telling you this to brag in any way, shape or form…I am sharing this with you because I am BEYOND THANKFUL that someone else shared this opportunity with me…for if not, I do not know what my life would be like today!

I am looking for MOMPRENEURS and other driven, dedicated, passionate WOMEN who want to join my team! It starts with a DESIRE to join, AMBITION to keep going and a NEVER GIVE UP attitude!

If you have ever considered coaching or want a sneak peak into what it is that I do and what I have done to turn this PASSION for helping others into a career that has allowed me to do things I didn’t dream possible…then join my team for a Sneak Peak into Beachbody Coaching by filling out this form!!!

Melissa joined my New Year, New You Health and Fitness Accountability group and didn’t nothing short of go ALL IN!!!

She truly is what I would refer to as the “perfect challenger”- now was she perfect with everything for 60 days straight?! Of course not… but she did do exactly what I would hope for with each of my challengers: she committed to the program, she committed to herself, she committed to drinking Shakeology daily and she committed to holding herself accountable by checking into our support group EVERY DAY!!!! And well-as you can see the results followed!!!

Here is what she had to say about her journey: 

“I have lost 19 pounds; 12 of my pounds were lost doing T-25 for the first 30 days and 7 of my pounds were lost next with the 21 Day Fix. In these 60 days, I have learned about meal prep, balanced eating, making healthier choices for food on a daily basis, etc.. Yes, I do eat and I eat more than I did before I started my journey! Nutrition is 80% of the equation!! I absolutely give credit to my meal replacement that I drink for breakfast on my way to work (p.s. I love having one meal full of vitamins and nutrients that I do not have to plan for :)) I have done all of my exercising from the comfort of my home. It is part of my daily schedule and I am able to exercise in the AM, while my baby girl naps, after work (sometimes pressing play at 10:30 PM; no excuses) or my little girl even works out with me. I am amazed of what these 60 days has done for me and the strength that I have both physically and mentally. I have been able to realize this through the support of my coach and through the support of my 60 day accountability group. Do not EVER think you are alone or that it is NEVER possible for you to reach your fitness goals. I am proof that it is POSSIBLE!!!”

I am so proud to be able to share in Melissa’s journey and all those who joined my challenge group!  There really is POWER IN NUMBERS – Could you be next?

Shamrock Shakeology

With Shakeology’s 6th birthday yesterday combined with St. Patty’s day today – I had to share this amazing recipe we made last night to celebrate the combination of the two (see comments below!)

Shamrock shake, shamrock shakeology, green smoothie, healthy smoothie, shamrock shakeology replacement, shamrock shake alternative, clean shamrock shake, meal replacement, greenberry shakeology recipe, Maegan Blinka

I’m sure you’ve all heard of Shamrock shakes – well here is Shamrock Shakeology! But first, just in case you’re not familiar or haven’t had the opportunity to fuel up with this incredible superfood, here’s a few fun facts about Shakeology:

#1 You can switch your flavor each month (which is perfect if you are like me and like a little variety, since we have so many flavors (including vegan) to accommodate everyone’s taste buds AND allergies to dairy, soy, gluten!

#2 You get your money back if you aren’t satisfied within 30 days (yup, seriously, enjoy for 30 days but if you’re not happy or it doesn’t meet your expectations – RETURN it – its RISK FREE!) So why not toss those skeptical thoughts aside!!!

#3 You aren’t adding to your budget but rather REPLACING what you already spend on 30 meals each month (Trust me – I didn’t think I could afford it either at first but….now we save money by drinking it!)
…oh and my preferred customers get it for 25% off

#4 It has helped ME get off my Chron’s disease medicine (after 7 long years of daily use) and it even replaced my prenatal vitamin when I was nursing (approved by my doctor!) – which saved me even MORE money each month!

#5 Promotes weight loss, Improves Digestion, Curbs Cravings, takes about 2 minutes to blend as pretty much 99.9% of us are constantly busy and “never have time”!

So, for the healthiest meal of the day, which has not only helped myself reach new goals but also my family, friends, and new friends, and to be able to call this part of my “business”, I love being able to share what it’s done for me! I can’t imagine how different my life would be if I hadn’t “give it a TRY” and I accredit my continued success to Shakeology – because of how it has made me FEEL and the energy it provides me!!!

Turn that huge indulgence into the healthiest meal of YOUR day!

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 8 oz Water

  • 2-4 oz almond milk

  • tiniest splash of mint extract

  • 1 TBS PB2

  • 1 TBS vanilla sugar free instant pudding mix

  • 1 scoop/packet of Greenberry Shakeology

  • LOTS of ice

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

  • Blend and enjoy!!!

21 Day Fix Extreme Results

Last Sunday I wrapped up my first round of the 21-day fix extreme. To be honest, at first, I felt like I totally failed. My weight remained the SAME. Unchanged in 3 weeks with what is truly one of the most amazing programs combining effective 30 minute at-home workouts with easy to follow nutrition. You get a little bit of everything but I didn’t get the “extreme” results that I’ve seen others share…

Maegan Blinka, Just push play, Beachbody home DVD workout results, 21 day fix results, 21 day fix extreme results, before pictures, does the 21 day fix extreme work, food is fuel, Results with the 21-day fix extreme

 

So how did this happen…I didn’t follow the nutrition! I started this program looking for ABS and although I still believe this program will help me get there…it didn’t happen, not this time. I let life events get in my way…stress, personal health issues, social get togethers…my WHY wasn’t big enough. But at the same time – I’m still HAPPY with my results even though I didn’t meet my initial goal of killer ABS. 

Maegan Blinka, Just push play, Beachbody home DVD workout results, 21 day fix results, 21 day fix extreme results, before pictures, does the 21 day fix extreme work, food is fuel, Results with the 21-day fix extreme

^I did lose an inch off my waist, belly button and hips.
^I learned that cod and tilapia at 10am can become a meal and cold veggies travel well smile emoticon
^I learned that one pound of cinnamon roasted almonds in 3 days will make you feel extremely bloated!
^And coconut oil is a staple in my daily life!

So while I’d love to show you an amazing 21 day transformation – I can’t…I don’t have one! But what I can share is something else this program helped me realize. As I scanned through my before and after pictures and my stats I realized something that I didn’t realize at the beginning. I actually started this program 2 pounds HEAVIER than I was a year ago when I wasn’t even working out or eating clean – say WHAT?!?!

On the left: Last February, the day before I started my very first challenge group and started a journey that would leave a lasting impact on my life, and all those around me! Happy – YES! Healthy? Not even close!

On the right: This February the day before I started the 21-Day Fix EXTREME…a year into my own journey as a Beachbody coach working continuously to be the best version of me. Happy? Heck yes! Healthy? You better believe it!!!!

Maegan Blinka, 21 day fix results, 21 day fix extreme results, before pictures, does the 21 day fix extreme work, food is fuel, Results with the 21-day fix extremeReflecting on these pictures helped me realize…weight is JUST A NUMBER!!! So of course I had to do an “official” comparison. So below you will see my before pictures for both the 21 Day Fix  and 21 Day Fix Extreme and the bottom pictures show what each program did for me…in just 21 days!  I am focusing today on measuring my success on what I can do:

**I can carry the 70+pounds of my kiddos on my hips, up and down the stairs with ease…
**I can give my kiddos horsey rides all throughout the house…their giggles alone are enough to help me stay HEALTHY
**I’ve learned to BALANCE..we bake cookies and we bake sweet potatoes…we go out for pizza and we go out for delicious salads
**We exercise, we have fun, and we live our life to its fullest and I help others do the same!!!

There’s always a story, there’s always more than meets the eye – DIG DEEP and find what you’re living for – what makes your light SHINE BRIGHT.

For me…its my health and happiness!

I know I’m not perfect but its progress…and I’m going to be progressing forward!!! If you want to join me on this journey comment below or send me a PM…like I always say – THERE’S POWER IN NUMBERS!!!

I still think I can get the results I’m dreaming of and I’m going to give it another go! We have lots of fun and some family travels coming up and we also have our ALL EXPENSE PAID vacation to Cancun with my Beachbody family in April…so I will be doing this again and I will get those CUT ABS!!!

I am so excited to share our team’s goal and focus for the month of March…

A year ago, my fellow coach, Katy Ursta, was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma but this wife and  mama of 2  wasn’t going to let it ruin her life or even slow her down!!! Upon diagnosis, she immeditately began 12 tough rounds of chemotherapy, every other week, for 24 weeks.  As a health and fitness coach, she struggled with the concept of being sick, asking herself  “who would want me as a coach”? What she never realized is what an inspiration her story would be for those around her!

Although sick, and tired, and unsure of what would lie ahead, she didn’t stop…she was consistent!!! Before and after every chemo treatment – she would SWEAT!  Sweat for something bigger, sweat for those who couldn’t sweat and simply, SWEAT IT OUT! It wasn’t easy and not always pretty but she did it for herself and those affected by the horrible “cancer”. Throughout this tough time she learned that sometimes you just have to find the good every situation and she truly did TURN HER MESS INTO HER MESSAGE which in turned began to inspire people all over the country and I am beyond happy to share that she is officially in remission and CANCER FREE!!!

Her story is real, its inspirational, its unique and it has helped to take her on a new journey as she has been NOMINATED AS PITTSBURGH WOMAN OF THE YEAR!!!

Our goal is to help Katy her reach her goals by giving as much as possible to help other families battling and struggling through this expensive and terrible illness through LLS (Leukemia Lymphoma Society), support those who we know personally that fought these blood cancers, and also support Katy during her campaign for Pittsburgh Woman of the Year!

Please click here to see Katy’s story: http://www.onefitfighter.com/p/mystory.html

So…HOW CAN YOU HELP??

First, PRAYERS!! Many many prayers are needed through this amazing journey she is going through since overcoming many obstacles in the past year!
