I wish I could tell you I was CRUSHING it – but truth me told – LIFE.HAS.HAPPENED.
And I am sure you’ve had your own share of LIFE’S events – but here’s the deal:
You have a choice: let it knock you down and stay there…
OR
Let it knock you down and then PICK YOURSELF UP!
If you are choosing the later – then I invite YOU to JOIN ME!!
Our accountability group will start February 20th and run 4 weeks.
We will hold one another accountable!
I will teach you what I have LEARNED works for me and my challengers in terms of nutrition, fitness programs and top TIPS to stay engaged and MOTIVATED to create HEALTHY HABITS that are LONG LASTING!!!
If you’re ready to rock this challenge WITH me – please do the following:
I am coming up on my 3 year anniversary of participating and then hosting online Fitness challenges and I can tell you first hand it has spoken VOLUMES in my personal Health & Wellness journey. I honestly don’t know where I would be if I had stopped after that first round of the 21-day fix back in 2014…or heck even after a year. ACCOUNTABILITY IS KEY!
I was able to get to the point where I could carve out that 30 minute and time for myself – but controlling what was on my plate – going in my body -the other 23.5 hours of the day is where I realized THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
But here’s the deal: when you surround yourself with others with similar goals – and struggles and strengths and weaknesses you learn to FALL DOWN – AND – GET BACK UP…TOGETHER!
And this is what I want to show people through this group!!!
The same key aspects that I teach in my full accountability groups will be introduced in this group as well!
FITNESS + SUPPORT + NUTRITION = RESULTS!!!
FITNESS:
Each participant will enroll in a trial membership of the Beachbody Club which provides online STREAMING to HUNDREDS of workouts!
I picked a few of my favorites to share with the group this week!!!
NUTRITION:
I have shared this simplified meal plan with my participants and I will walk them through how I plan out my meals, how the prep all goes down and how I maximize on those leftovers.
I think its safe to say we are ALL BUSY:
Working mom, stay at home mom, dog mom, pinterest mom, amazon mom, entrepreneurs, corporate ladder climbers, etc..
We are all BUSY – but learning how to effectively PLAN out and PREPARE for the week ahead is CLUTCH!
And the final piece comes in ACTIONS and less words.
SUPPORT:
Its the accountability – knowing that there is a group of other people right there along side you – learning as you go – trying, failing, and moving forward.
Its hard to explain it to you-but I can SHOW you first hand the power it holds!
Maybe you’ve thought about joining me in a group – maybe you’ve been one to think you had it all under control and you didn’t need ANYONE else’s help (that was SOOO me about 3.5 years ago!!!) – just check it out!
I mean what do you have to lose?
If you’re interested please email: maeganblinka@gmail.com
Time Hop reminded me that around this same time – 3 Years ago today I was asking for prayers as we were rushed to Children’s Hospital holding tightly to VERY sick little boy.
Now: You may be thinking: Soooooo: What does this have in common with the title “What is a Challenge Group: Live Look” – keep reading – there’s a connection I PROMISE!
That day was a WHIRLWIND!
Colt’s deteriorating health was dismissed as “a bad cold” before we got in to see HIS doctor the following day who quickly sent us by ambulance to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh to ensure he got the best care.
We received his diagnosis: Pneomonia, double ear infection, bronchiolitis, and very high fevers.
We spent two tiring nights there and while my little man attempted to get comfortable and rest I simply watched him.
Sleep just wasn’t happening for me and eventually when he settled I grabbed the phone for a mindless midnight scroll.
And there it was…
A post shared by an old college co-worker talking about her results
There was a new program launch coming soon
Potential to lose up to 15 pounds
She LOVED this superfood shake
She offered support by joining a group
And, well my SCROLL – STOPPED ✋️✋️✋️
It wasn’t about the image as much as I RELATED to it!
Something HIT ME. I was watching the importance of GOOD HEALTH – first hand.
I NEEDED to make a change.
And well, the rest is HISTORY!
********************************************
Honestly – I can’t seem to think: What if we never had that scary experience…would I have seen things differently?
Would I have ever caught a glimpse of that simple post?
It was JUST a challenge group – at the time – but what I learned in that group became a pivotal point in my life!
And its something I want to share with YOU!
Next week my team and I are offering something new.
We will be hosting a 5 Day Free – WHAT IS A CHALLENGE GROUP – live look into what it is like to be a part of our community.
We will cover ALL the questions you have been wanting answered.
My life took a huge turn that day – and I know yours could too 💗💗💗
“I’d love to coach but I just don’t have the time”
Oh if I had a dime for every time I hear that comment from someone I’d be living in the Caribbean!!!
Here’s the deal.
You probably don’t have time.
You really don’t.
But if you want something bad enough…if you want to BUILD your own business and you have a strong enough WHY – I PROMISE you…you will MAKE TIME.
#realtalk
If you had told me 3 years ago – as I frantically attempted to figure out how to be a SAHM mom to a demanding 2 year old who stopped napping and a newborn who threw up every meal he ate and NEVER…. I mean NEVER slept – that I would just up and start a work from home business around helping other people from laptop…I would have LAUGHED in your face and then sent you to the looney bin.
It just wasn’t in the cards for me.
I was “BUSY”
But here’s the thing…we are all busy.
And we all make time for the things that MATTER – that IMPACT us.
I fell IN LOVE with it all.
Quickly.
With the amazing support from my fellow challengers.
With the family aspect of this team I joined.
With the confidence I was GAINING each and every single day.
I had a purpose again…beyond my role as MOM….
I was HELPING others the same WAY I was helped. And it felt good.
So it didn’t become a question of if I had time.
The question was – How can I make TIME?
And you know what – I FIGURED IT OUT.
I didn’t work in an office.
No two days were the same.
I didn’t have 9-5 hours.
BUT I MADE IT WORK.
Trial and Error.
Failing forward.
Making sacrifices.
I made it work – because I wanted it to work for me!!!
And if you want to make it work – I PROMISE you – you can.
And I can TEACH you exactly what I did and the systems I have put in place as I teach my TEAM as we continue to grow and change the lives of others every single day.
My next coach training academy is launching on MONDAY February 6th – and you’re invited…IF you are willing to make the time!
***Apply below – must not be a coach or be working with another coach***
When I started Whole 30 in October 2016 I quickly browsed the cookbook and picked my top dinner choices. I can’t give an exact reason why but the ingredients were purchased on my first Whole 30 shopping trip – yet it took me more than two months to actually make this dish!
Lesson learned – next time don’t be afraid to try something new.
This was DELICIOUS – and just so different from our typical “week night meals”.
In my mind I think I assumed that it was more complicated than it looked…but trust me when I say…if I can make this– ANYONE CAN!!!
(adapted from the WHOLE 30 Book)
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 pound pork tenderloin
2 TBS mustard powder
1 TBS paprika
1 TBS onion powder
1 TBS garlic powder
1.5 tsp salt
1.5 tsp pepper
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Remove pork from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Pat the pork dry with a paper towel
Mix the mustard powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and paprikain a small bowl and rub the pork evenly with seasoning mixture.
In a food processor (the mini handheld pampered chef one works great!!!) – or by hand – pulse or chop the walnuts until finely chopped.
Coat the pork evenlywith the chopped walnuts.
Place the pork tenderloin in a baking pan ( I used a 7″x11″ pyrex dish and it worked perfectly!) and roast 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
Let the pork rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick medallions.
Serve with your veggie of choice and more importantly ENJOY!!!
NOTE: I doubled this recipe (as I do with most recipes to ease the meal prep later in the week!!!) and I will vouch the leftovers were just as amazing as night 1!
——————————————————————–
I recently completed a round of Whole 30 paired with Core De Force and I can truly say I found my JAM! I found what works for me – what I enjoy – and what makes me FEEL good on the inside!!!

Celebrating the official ELITE news from Corporate with my family by my side.
The flowers
Congratulatory bouquet for being 1 of 210 teams in the network to acheive ELITE.
The sparkly shoes
Ready to put on our 2017 January Super Friday event in Pittsburgh
Taking the stage
Taking the stage for the second year in a row as a 2x Elite Leader – and more importantly FULFILLED – accomplished – MOM & WIFE
What does it all mean?
Let me debrief for you as I, myself, continue to wrap my head around this last week of excitement…
Last Thursday I received the official call from Beachbody Corporate – congratulating my INCREDIBLE – driven – dedicated – lead-with-their-heart TEAM on achieving ELITE for 2016.
I know to some its just a word – but to me – it means that the process I have created for helping other men & women get started on their health & fitness journey’s is being duplicated – and duplicated again and again as the leaders who make up this team pour their heart into serving others.
This was a goal I set for my team this year and it was amazing to be ONE of the 210 teams in the ENTIRE network (of over 400K+ coaches) who reached this benchmark!!!
We have many women who are continuously giving their time to serve others but these are the KEY LEADERS who made achieving this – ELITE – status come full circle for my One. Fit. Fam.
I feel its important to share that this achievement means that I am not just creating and building my own business – but I am creating a business that others want to be a part of – that others want to build too – so that they can achieve their personal & professional business goals and continue working towards a common goal.
I’ve always said: TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER and these are the moments where this holds true more than ever.
But that was just the start of the weekend…
The workout clothes were traded in for a cocktail dress and sparkly shoes as we set forth to kick off the January 2017 Super Friday event!!!
I am part of the Pittsburgh Market Council that plans our local events and this one was a big one.
Not only did we have an incredible venue booked with my own team’s success to celebrate but we had our CEO, Carl Daikeler coming to town to celebrate the 3x top coach accomplishment for Melanie Mitro and the #2 Master Trainer Kam Niskach.
It takes an army to put on these events and its truly an honor to be able to work with this team to make it happen!!!
Some of our “local” team members who traveled in for the event
But they had their own little surprise up their sleeves for this one…
To celebrate the ELITE accomplishment of all the local coaches, a compilation of the congratulatory calls was put together and shared during our Super Friday event.
Needless to say I was brought to tears!
So much of what I do as a coach stems from my desire to be at home wtih my kids and also still contributing financially to my family while living out my passion and living my life WITH PURPOSE.
This career as a coach has allowed me so many experiences & opportunities and has taught me invaluable life lessons…and it was fitting to have my kids on my lap when I received that phone call!
Our night closed out with my team, in our PJs, in my hotel room as we chatted the night away, shared stories and prepared for day #2!
STRONG WOMEN LIFT EACH OTHER UP
I was blessed to be amongst this incredible group of leaders with a slot to share some of my tips and tricks for taking ACTION towards your goals!
We met early in the morning – we did our run through – and we simply SUPPORT each other.
Some of these women are my mentors – some are those I simply admire and all of them are women i am INSPIRED by on a daily basis.
When it was time to take the stage I was nervous, slightly emotional from simply being MOVED by the story I just heard but excited to shake it and go for it!
It was time to share some of MY STORY.
I got to share how I started my business using little pockets of my day…how I started MAKING time to build my business and SACRIFICED things to make it happen!
My kids were little
I was still adjusting to the stay-at-home-#momlife of two
And just like that I decided to add COACH to my title…and I went all in and never looked back!!
I had no idea then…where I would be now.
But I trusted the process.
Had faith in my mentors.
And confidence that if I kept doing all the small things daily the compound effect prove its worth.
If you would have told me taking the stage would come with this territory I would have ran the other way!
But today I stand proud that I have learned to take chances!
With every opportunity I learn and stretch outside those comfort zones and in turn GROW!!!
Here’s to 2017—continued growth-fearlessness-and opportunities!!!

I can tell you from experience…its the combination of FITNESS & SUPPORT & NUTRITION that gives you RESULTS.
In February of 2014 I found myself staring at my very sick little boy in Children’s hospital and as I struggled to get any sleep at all, in the wee hours of the morning, I scrolled Facebook and came across a post from my coach about her next accountability group.
It was that moment that I began to realize…you can’t put a price on HEALTH.
My fitness journey, just like life, has had its ups and downs – Yet I never STOPPED.
I’ve learned to stop letting the scale define me and I have found happiness in surrounding myself with other people – LIKE ME.
Who get me.
Who understand the journey.
Who aren’t afraid to get started.
Who know there will be tough days
Who are determined to push through them.
Its been 34 straight MONTHS of daily exercise, daily superfoods, and ongoing support groups.
I figured out how to fill my cup so I can help others fill theirs too and so we can pour into those we love.
Its not foolproof.
I’m not perfect.
It takes hard work.
We fall down and we get back up.
Its a journey…but I am grateful for those who ride with me and I constantly remind myself that my one decision to just DO IT has rippled into a tsunami sized wave that has impacted HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of people.
You will never know what you’re capable of – until its your only option left.
I am launching my first group of 2017 – Resolutions into Results on January 2nd. Participation in this group also qualifies you to participate in the Beachbody Health Bet as well!
….Or maybe the 7-10 pounds “typical” Americans tack on during the holidays?
….Or perhaps the classic “this is my year” attitude?
I’m sure there’s a million and one things that play into the reasons but the results have proven in a recent study that the TOP 3 new years resolutions in America have something to do with:
EXERCISE MORE
LOSE WEIGHT
Improve DIET
Yet, statistics show, LESS than 10% of those people are actually successful in achieving their resolutions!
Why?
They don’t have the tools!
They’re afraid of change – they fear failure – they don’t know HOW to get started AND continue!
But that’s where I can help!
Here’s the deal…if you make a few temporary changes the results will simply be that – temporary. You won’t truly achieve what you’re setting out to do unless you make a CHANGE!
A change in the way you think – act- believe and yes – a change in your LIFESTYLE!
Now I get it – its much easier said than done!
Making a lifestyle change – a HEALTHY lifestyle change isn’t always easy.
Some people will doubt you, some may not support you, some may even say negative things and you may fear your ability to stick to it long term or when not at home. You’re afraid you don’t have the time or the money – But these are all just excuses – if you have a plan – you can overcome every single one of them – and then some!
AND I CAN HELP YOU!
Committing to a healthy eating and a consistent exercise routine may be HARD. But so is living in a body that you’re unhappy with.
CHOOSE YOUR HARD.
Then take action.
For me, the secret sauce was truly found when I joined an online challenge group.
An online accountability group filled with other women who had similar struggles as I did – similar fears – and similar goals – TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE!
I don’t have all the answers but I have experience, drive, passion and a desire to help others SUCCEED in achieving their personal health & fitness goals!!!
So I ask you all to take this as a personal INVITATION to make this your year.
To not just COMMIT but truly make a CHANGE!
I’m kicking off my RESOLUTIONS INTO RESULTS challenge group January 2nd and I am looking for 10 people to join me!
BONUS: in the season of GIVING I am offering one of my favorite, and total mindset game-changing books THE MIRACLE MORNING to all participants who commit WITH A CHALLENGE PACK by 12/24.
And if that wasn’t enough – Beachbody is launching their their 2nd Health Bet Challenge where they have put in $2 million to a pot reserved just for people who commit to a fitness program and log at least 3 workouts a week & replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology and log 5 Shakeology’s into our tracker app for 4 weeks. If you complete the necessary steps you are entered to win the cash prize at the end!
Yes – you can in fact get a reward for doing what you already want to do and COMMIT to improving your overall health & fitness.
So to bring it all together:
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO:
First you need to make me your official coach. You can complete your enrollment here:
Fill out the application below so that we can determine the best program to suit your GOALS.
Commit to the duration of the group. This is about finding a solution to your needs. A program you’ll enjoy, a program that aligns with your goals, and a program that you can COMPLETE.
Commit to the nutrition plan including, replacing 1 meal a day with Shakeology. Nutrition DRIVES your results, comprising 80% to the 20% that exercise includes. You must fuel your body with the foods it needs to provide energy for your workout, energy to get through your day, and to help your body recover and continue to transform as you progress through the program. Nutrition matters.
You must be willing to hold yourself accountable in our private online accountability group – AND – participate in the group daily to log and monitor your progress. Getting started is one thing – but its following it through to the end where the magic happens!
I am not here to sell you a program.
I am here to help you DECIDE – COMMIT – and SUCCEED in reaching your overall health and fitness GOALS through the combination of FITNESS – NUTRITION & SUPPORT.
Did you know the average american GAINS 7-10 pounds between Halloween and New Years?!
Its true!!!
Afterall, its EASY to take the chunk of time, chalk all the mishaps up to holiday craziness and commit to “a new plan in January” – but you don’t have to call it quits yet!
Forget the NEW year resolution – its time for a YEAR END resolution!
There’s still 6 weeks left in 2016 and I am pulling together the troops for one final round – TOGETHER – to help us SURVIVE the holidays.
Mission MAINTAIN isn’t about total deprivation.
Or total indulgence.
Its about BALANCE.
Its about helping ensure you’re not part of that “majority” that gains and feels gross about themselves come 12/31.
Its about finding the foods you enjoy most and truly ENJOYING them but passing on the rest.
And its about carving out those 30-45 minutes a day to better yourself so you can give more to others.
So many people live uncomfortably those last months of the year with an attitude that they’ll just “start fresh in the new year” – but WHY WAIT?
IMAGINE how AMAZING you’ll feel if you make a commitment TODAY to end 2016 STRONGER than you started and start 2017 off with a fresh clean slate and positive mindset!
IMAGINE the confidence you’ll have – the increase in energy – and comfort knowing you’re doing something today your future self will thank you for.
If you IMAGINE this is something you want to attain – THEN JOIN ME!!!!
I will be rocking ROUND 2 of CORE DE FORCE but your fitness program is simply that – YOUR choice!
I will help you find the fitness program that works best for YOU
Each participant will commit to 30 days of Shakeology. Not because I think you need this. But because I KNOW you need this! My participants see greater results, feel better and are properly fueling their bodies when this one mindless meal replaces one prior meal they were eating! It tastes AMAZING and with the busy holiday time – you’ll come back around to thank me!!!
You will be REQUIRED to check in to our private group each day. Trust me – this is where the ACCOUNTABILITY shines!!!
