How I got started on my fitness journey

March 24, 2023Leave a comment

MY STORY

WHY I SAID YES TO PRIORITIZING MY HEALTH:

I get so many questions about how I got started on my fitness journey! I wanted to share it here so you can have it to read and save it for later when you need motivation.

In February 2014 I found myself asking for prayers as we were rushed to Children’s Hospital holding tightly to VERY sick little boy.

My infant’s deteriorating health was dismissed as “a bad cold” before we got in to see HIS doctor who quickly sent us by ambulance to Children’s to get 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…

👉Amazing side by side from someone I didn’t even know

👉Shared by an old college friend

👉New program launch coming soon

👉Lose up to 15 pounds

👉Drink a superfood shake

👉Join a group

And, well my SCROLL – STOPPED ✋️✋️✋️

Something HIT ME. I saw the importance of GOOD HEALTH.

Colton, my son was 8.5 months old & I was still holding on to a few post baby pounds but more than anything I was EXHAUSTED 24/7 and at that moment I decided to stop wishing and start working.

It was JUST a virtual fitness group with a bunch of strangers at the time but what I learned in that group became a pivotal point in my life!!

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

So I went all in!

9 years ago I stood in my bedroom and handed my hubs my iPhone 4 to fulfill my coach’s request to submit my “goodbye” pics to gain access into her 21 day virtual BOOTCAMP….

That was me gearing up for my first online accountability group…and this is me NOW…

Ok to be honest this picture on the left was me on the second attempt.

The first set of pics I deleted…but my coach INSISTED I submit them, so I retook them the night before we started…

I had no idea what to expect.

Heck the term “challenge” group intimidated me enough as it was…

Those seemingly small containers scared me…

I thought weights would make me bulky…

And I had no desire to open up to a group filled with a bunch of “strangers”…

And I most definitely was not interested in posting anything on social or publicly for anyone to see 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

All I knew at that time was that I was tired of being tired.

I didn’t feel comfortable in my own skin and I was DETERMINED to set the example I wanted my growing kids to follow!

Gosh I was NOT going to quit on myself, not this time.

My babies needed their mama at her best, and I needed to make some C H A N G E S

I was R E A D Y to make the sacrifices.

I had NO IDEA then where I would wind up today…

But I do know that the very first step I took towards joining that group was the one door that opened up all the other possibilities!

During those first few days I was a fly on the wall in the group! I didn’t post anything, I didn’t ask anything and I quietly just tried to figure it all out. It was a change and it was hard. But on the 10th day, Fat Tuesday, I went off the walls. We had lunch at a Pizza Hut buffet and I ate all the things. All the pizza, all the breadsticks and all the dessert and I felt AWFUL. LITERALLY – not because I felt like I was cheating but my digestion was awful, I was bloated, and so uncomfortable and I thought to myself “why am I beating myself up with these workouts and investing this time and money into new habits if I’m going to undo the hard work”

And that’s the day it all shifted.

On the 11th day I posted to the group for the first time. I shared my failure and I shared what I was going to do the next day to make myself FEEL my best. I didn’t know anyone in the group but somehow that public proclamation was all I needed to stay on track, eat the food that fueled me, and continue through the program.

By the end of that 21 days I didn’t have to be asked for my Day 21 pictures. I was proudly setting up that iphone timer and sending them back over to my coach with pride.

Not because I was perfect the remaining 10 days but because I was showing up as my best self and gosh it FELT really amazing.

I finally felt like ME again for the first time – post entering motherhood – and I LIKED IT!

I got my confidence back.

My husband got his wife back

My kids got the energetic mama they deserved

And I knew this was something other women NEEDED and so I did the only thing that made sense…I BEGAN TO SHARE as I kicked off my own business as a BODi partner!

VIRTUAL BOOTCAMP SQUAD

Like I shared above, the only thing that made sense to me at the end of those first 21 days was so SHARE – because I knew in my heart there had to be another mama, another “MAEGAN” out there who had felt the way I was feeling before and deserved to feel the way I was feeling NOW – and I firmly believe if you are STILL here – reading this and you want to make a change too!

Let’s link arms and do this together! We truly are STRONGER TOGETHER!

I can’t promise that making changes will be easy but I can promise that investing in yourself is one investment that is always worth making!

I will provide you with my tools, resources and best of all SUPPORT to not only help you get started but reach your goals and keep on going through the good, the bad and everything in between! CLICK THE LINK BELOW to get started together!

Everything You Need to Know About Oat Milk

March 29, 2021Leave a comment

Beachbody Blog Article By Nicole McDermott

WHAT IS OAT MILK?

“Oat milk is a great alternative for those who need an allergen-free milk option,” says Melissa Majumdar, M.S., R.D., CSOWM, L.D.N., a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “It is free of lactose, dairy, and nuts, and can be gluten-free.”

OAT MILK NUTRITION FACTS

Oat milk ingredients differ from brand to brand. Here’s the nutritional breakdown for an unsweetened cup of the popular brand, Oatly.

Calories: 120
Protein: 3 grams
Fat: 5 grams
Carbohydrates: 16 grams
Total sugars: 7 grams
Fiber: 2 grams

“Non-dairy milks tend to be fortified in nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, so they match their dairy-milk counterparts,” Majumdar says.

HOW OAT MILK COMPARES TO OTHER MILKS.

In terms of flavor, color, and texture, oat milk more similarly mimics whole milk than other non-dairy options.

It also has a thicker mouthfeel and creamier flavor than soy or almond milk, as well as a mild “oaty” flavor.

As for oat milk nutrition, it’s lower in fat and sugar than whole-fat cow’s milk, but it lacks the protein.

“Depending on the type of cow’s milk, the fat content may change as well,” Majumdar says.

For instance, a cup of skim milk has 0 grams of fat, making it a lower fat option than Oatly and many other types of oat milk.

Is oat milk or almond milk better for you?

If you put those two most popular plant-based options head to head, oat milk nutrition may fall short in a few key areas, says Mascha Davis, M.P.H., R.D.N., author of the book “Eat Your Vitamins.”

“Other nut milks, like almond milk, may be lower in calories, carbohydrates, and sugar and higher in other nutrients like vitamin E,” Davis says.

As a bonus, oat milk typically has more fiber than other non-dairy milks, though it’s not much.

Part of oat milk’s higher sugar content is due to added sugars, so choose brands that omit them and are labeled as “unsweetened.”

However, oat milk naturally contains more sugar than some other plant-based milks.

“The base of the milk is made from rolled or steel-cut oats, which are a carbohydrate source,” Davis says.

Soybeans, almonds, hemp seeds, and other plant-based milk sources are usually lower in carbohydrates than oats.

Regardless of where you are NOW compared to where you wanted to be when you set your January new years goals…

Regardless of the failure that happened when you looked yourself in the mirror months ago and said THIS IS THE TIME, but you realized you fell short

Regardless of how many Monday’s you’ve started fresh, Monday evenings that resulted in failures and times over you committed to MAKING this time DIFFERENT.

I’m asking you to draw a line in the sand NOW as you commit to LIFESTYLE changes…

And declare this as YOUR TIME and accept my invitation for YOU to JOIN ME – to join US!

Sure summer sounds like the idea time to “focus on fitness” but then the vacays start, the summer ball, the travel teams, the late nights with neighbors, the habit of ordering pizza while you sit outside and chat with friends and before you know it, the winter fluff made an early seasonly debut.

I am only saying this – BECAUSE THAT WAS HOW MY SUMMER started.

But hey, I know the WHAT we need to do and now its time to put my practice into action and recommit…and I want you to JOIN ME!

But trust me, I’m not going to take over your LIFE!

Can you commit to 30-40 minutes of fitness 4x a week?

Monday August 6th kicks off my END OF SUMMER BOOTCAMP and I have opened up 5 EARLY BIRD ENROLLMENT spots – available on a FIRST COME – FIRST SERVE option!

Who’s this group for?

#1 Requirement is that you MUST be ready for a CHANGE – but more specifically this group is for:

New mom just getting back into that workout routine looking to bounce back after the baby? But can’t quite find the time to get to the gym? This is for you.
Already in the habit of regular exercise but stuck at a bit of a plateau? This is for you!
Need to lose 50+ pounds to be at healthy BMI? This is for you!
Former athlete looking to find a workout schedule that challenges you and brings you back to those training days and top shape? This is for you!
Busy professional or busy mama that loves group exercise classes but can’t seem to find the time to make it to the gym regularly? This is for you!

Want to know what else?!?!

Each participant will be eligible for winning $500 or more through the daily Challenge.

What do you have to lose?

Or maybe I should ask – what do you have to GAIN?!?!

That’s the mentality I had 4 years ago and I am still going strong TODAY on my personal journey and I have had the HONOR of bringing in HUNDREDS of other women to help them do the same and I look forward to helping YOU TOO!

Ready?! Let’s go! Here’s what you need to know:

What are the requirements?

I must be YOUR coach. If you are not currently working with a TeamBeachbody coach you can create a free account by clicking here. Create Free Account
Complete the Challenge group application below so I can help you select the best program fit for you and make sure this challenge will help you meet your goals.
Commit to a workout program of you choice and Replacing 1 meal a day with Shakeology. Why Shakeology?? It simple: it’s amazing and it is going to make you FEEL better as far as daily energy, it will complete your daily nutrition, it is one meal you don’t have to think about, and its quick, convenient, and honestly while you may be thinking “the taste though” it truly is delicious! But here’s the kicker – if for some crazy reason you’re not convinced – you can actually return the bag – FOR A FULL REFUND! I leaned into that GUARANTEE when I started and if you’re sitting on a pile of doubts I encourage you to too!
Commit to our CHALLENGE GROUP – to staying accountable not to JOINING but to FINISHING. TOGETHER. I don’t want you do just make a purchase – I want you to make a LIFESTYLE change and FEEL the impact of your positive daily actions!

I am well aware this group will be an INVESTMENT for you.

But I have learned over time when you put in nothing you get out nothing. BUT when you INVEST in yourself the RESULTS are beyond WORTH IT.
You’re worth it.

TOGETHER WE truly are STRONGER!

Spicy Bacon Egg bake

November 15, 2017Leave a comment

What you need:

12 eggs
2 slices of bacon, cooked, broke into tiny pieces
3 cups chopped spinach
2.5 cups red peppers, chopped
1/2 onion, diced
1 jalopeno, chopped
*Optional – avocado &/or cheese

What to do:

Spray baking pan with olive oil (I prefer the foil tins to make clean up easier! But you can also line a 9×13 pan with foil and spray the foil)
Combine all ingredients
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until sides begin to crisp and middle is cooked thoroughly

For the portion fix portion sizes:

Makes 6 servings: 1 red, 1 green, and blue depending on the cheese/avocado

I made a second pan for my husband using 16 eggs and adjusted the veggies to be 4 red peppers and 4 cups of spinach to give him 4 servings – each of which included 2 reds and 2 greens.

Note you can make any changes you feel necessary to this recipe – i.e. take out the onions, add in some mushrooms, etc…

My goal was to create a flavorful breakfast that would be several servings and include a protein-veggie-healthy fat combo. This most definitely did the trick!

These egg dishes were part of a weekly meal plan and prep session my husband I did on Sunday to help us stay on track with our health and fitness throughout the week!

Fitness fun for the whole family DOUBLE TIME

October 13, 2017November 4, 2017Leave a comment

The creator of the worldwide hit home fitness program P90X, Tony Horton, is at it again…but this time he’s bringing family and fitness TOGETHER with DOUBLE TIME!!!

As a mom of two little ones I know how hard it can be to find that time to workout for myself, I also know how often those kiddos will reach for some electronic device for some fun…why not combine those two things together and HAVE FUN TOGETHER while doing it?!?

What is Double Time?

Double Time is Tony Horton’s very first fitness program that makes living a healthier lifestyle something you can do with another person. You and your spouse or a friend (or one of your own kids) will take on daily partner workouts and healthy eating for 30 days.

What: 30 days of total-body workouts (all 35 minutes or less) that feel more like play and less like work!

When: Launching November 2017 with a preview on October 14th

Who: Anyone at any fitness level can do Double Time.

How: You can either stream Double Time on Beachbody On Demand (aka the Netflix of the Fitness world) or purchase the DVD program (coming soon).

Why Work Out with a Partner?

Studies show that you’re more likely to succeed with a fitness routine when you work out with another person. You’ll encourage each other to show up. You’ll cheer each other on. And they’ll make it way more fun, too! Using the Beachbody Buddy Ball, you and your Double Time partner will communicate and rely on each other to complete every single move. You’ll be so focused on laughing and working together that you won’t be looking at the clock — so imagine how much easier it will be for you to stick with your new healthier habits!

Who is Your Double Time Trainer?

As the creator of fitness programs like P90X, 22 Minute Hard Corps, and 10-Minute Trainer, Tony Horton knows a thing or two about helping people get in shape. But he’s always wanted to create a fitness program that does more than that. One that helps people connect — whether it’s family members, friends, or parents and their kids.

Double Time is Beachbody and Tony’s first partner workout program designed to help you and a partner get fit as a team while also having a ball. Together, you’ll have everything you need to successfully complete the full 30 days — the built-in support of a partner, along with Tony’s signature resistance and cardio moves, proven weight-loss techniques, and his super-motivating teaching style.

You too can PREVIEW this program here: Beachbody On Demand – and please fill out the form if you’d like to receive updates on the release and my family fun accountability group starting November 13th!

The WHY behind the Team Retreat

October 4, 2017October 4, 2017Leave a comment

The team dinners & champagne toasts…

The trip to Epcot,

The fancy photoshoot,

The brainstorming sessions, the training sessions taught and the training sessions attended, and the corporate presentations

The giant live workouts together as a TEAM

And the late nights spent TALKING, the dance parties, the game night

And so many more MOMENTS…came together to make up a recent 5-day trip I took to Orlando. It was a trip for me to be with my coach – the one that shared her life so graciously on social media and allowed ME to discover THIS life changing opportunity – and a trip for me to be with my leaders as well – to thank them and spoil them and teach them so that one day they are doing the same for their teams!

It was a TEAM retreat for the record books no doubt…but WHY?

Why are these things SO KEY and such a HUGE driver for me to host and my team to attend?

As coaches we have the opportunity to build an EMPIRE without ever leaving home.

A DREAM come true to this former, stay at home mom who needed to find herself after babies!

And whether you have little ones and a desire to be home with them or simply a desire to travel more or work on your own terms or simply live beyond the nontraditional 9-5 this business has the ability to be a BLESSING beyond words.

Sometimes building a business behind a computer screen can be a little lonley and you the peer to peer interaction is what you need to jazz it up.

We have larger events like Summit and the Success Club trips that allow us to come together and quarterly Super Saturdays to see local area coaches but the annual team RETREAT allows a time to be together as ONE TEAM UNITED and I truly cannot put into words the IMPACT this even has on my business.

I remember watching my coach go on her team retreat before I started thinking REALLY – that many girls in one place who are VOLUNTARILY spending the weekend together?!?!

I didn’t get…until I became a part of it. The unity. The community. THE FAMILY.

It never is about comparison and there are no secrets. We are simply EMPOWERING one another to be the best mom/wife/friend/sister and coach all rolled into one. We share tips and ideas, life events and stories and motivation one another on all aspects of the business and just plain old LIFE!

I have learned that when you pour into yourself for a little bit you then have the ability to POUR MORE into others and this trip while seemed like it came at the most crazy time in my life – I now realize it came at the time I – WE – needed it most.

I don’t know many jobs – careers – that are built upon a CULTURE that encourages other women to empower other women and provides an environment for you to SIMPLY BE YOU and your income is a direct result of the IMPACT you make but my goodness I sure am glad I found it!

But this I ensure you –

Behind the stock pile of selfies, and group photo shots, and pretty meals, and smiles and laughs…is WORK.
We work HARD because our work matters.

We work HARD because we KNOW we have something SPECIAL.

We work HARD because every time we SHARE what we do we have the opportunity to pay it forward and help others the same way this business has blessed us.

I got started as a coach because I NEEDED it emotionally AND physically and I knew there HAD to be other women suffering the way I was and I held that power in my hand to help them. And here I stand today not just doing that – but helping OTHER build their empires too.

If you’d like to learn more about what I do as a coach, or simply how you could become a part of this TRIBE of INCREDIBLE WOMEN…fill out the application below or request to join my informational group.

I’d love to have you join me on next year’s trip!!! I promise, we don’t just take selfies, workout and eat salads…we’re a lot of fun and ENJOY life!

THERE’S POWER IN NUMBERS

Its the START that STOPS most people.

Isn’t that the TRUTH!

The first step is always the hardest.

Whether you’re starting a fitness journey, changing your nutrition or BOTH – simply getting those first few days in…is HARD!

But one thing I learned is we all have that “tipping point” – that point where your desire to change outweighs your desire to stay the same and it is THEN that the excuses get pushed aside and you GO FOR IT.

And this is what my GOAL is for YOU with Clean Week! To just GO FOR IT – try this out and see if YOU will benefit from the combination of

FITNESS + NUTRITION + SUPPORT to get you RESULTS!

If you’ve ever watched what I do – and thought “I could never do THAT’ – then its time to CHANGE THAT ATTITUDE!!!

Clean Week is a new program designed specifically to EASE you into a healthy lifestyle – with NO STRINGS ATTACHED my friends!!!

This program is ideal for you if you are looking to:

Ease into fitness with easy-to-follow workouts.
Learn the basics of proper eating—not “dieting” – but EATING FOR FUEL
And get an inside look into how my virtual accountability groups work!!!

On October 3rd – you will be able to stream the 4 brand new workouts for FREE on Beachbody On Demand (BOD) – aka – the Netflix of the fitness world!

No membership required, just enter your email, accept the terms & conditions and you’re set.

Check out this video for more details:

WHEN IS IT AVAILABLE: October 3, 2017

WHAT TO EXPECT during the 7 day group:

Is there a MODIFER?

While most other home workout programs include a modifier, someone you can follow along with if you’re struggling and need to slow down, Clean Week includes an intensifier. If you feel like a certain move is too easy for you, you can follow the intensifier for a more challenging workout.

How does the Clean Week Meal Plan/Nutrition Plan work?

The program meal planner that comes with Clean Week breaks down everything you need to know to start eating healthier. Since everyone is different, your nutrition plan during the program will be customized to fit your specific needs. You’ll learn how to plan and prep your meals for the entire week so you’re ready to go! There will be a variety of recipe suggestions that use ingredients anyone can easily find in their local grocery store.

Why Shakeology?

You’ll also get to try Shakeology, our complete nutrition shake, with a 7-day sampler pack. Shakeology has been what helps me get the nutrition that I need in a delicious way!

The regular Shakeology sampler comes with 2 packets of chocolate, 2 packets of vanilla, 2 packets of cafe latte, and 1 packet of strawberry.

There is also a vegan Shakeology sampler available.

You can learn more about Shakeology here.

How does the SUPPORT work?

This is the missing link to so many other fitness/nutrition options out there!! Its one thing to get the nutrition in check, its another to start moving, but when you know OTHER people are counting on you – the SUPPORT will carry you through the ups and downs and good days and bad to help make HABITS!!!

In my closed online support group, you will get my daily motivation, tips and everything you need to make sure you FINISH what you START!!!

If you’re ready to boost that confidence, try something new, grab a sneak peek into my accountability groups and JOIN me for a week of fun and fitness – then fill out the form below!!!
