The final RAMP UP

It is “EASY” to workout for 30 minutes or 45 minutes or even 60 minutes a day.

The “HARD” part is controlling what you put in your body the other 23 hours.

strength quote.jpg

I was told that in my very first challenge group over 3 years ago and I have never forgot it — and I share this with my challengers often BECAUSE ITS SO TRUE!!!

We are quick to think to ourselves “but I worked out I DESERVE this treat/drink/fried amazingness – but my friends this is where you undo all the hard work you’ve put in!

And with the RAMP UP approach in The Shift Shop – its the nutrition as much as the killer sweat sessions that drive those jaw dropping results!

So what goes down in week 3: 

Shift Shop week 3.jpg

This is where everything comes together. You are working out at your peak while eating your cleanest. Starchy carbs are eliminated to make way for your best results—and although it’s a challenging week—you can help ward off your cravings with Shakeology, the superfood supplement shake designed to support your nutrition goals without sacrificing results.

2017-08-03 08.11.12-6

While I follow Plan A and my hubs follows Plan D – you can see the meal plans are SIMILAR its more the quantity of food that differs!

Fab 5 Summer Search

What did you want to be when you were growing up?

A teacher?
A doctor?
A mom? 
An accountant?
A lawyer?
A nurse?
An acrobat?

I’ll be honest I didn’t have that ONE thing but I knew that I wanted to be SUCCESSFUL and figured I’d rock a fancy suit on the top floor of some big fancy building in NYC with a corner office!

2017-06-25 21.02.33.jpg

I had a strong work ethic from the days of weekend babysitting as a 12 year old through double jobs in college through landing my big girl career in public accounting.

But then the unthinkable happened:

I. BECAME. A. MOM.

black-and-white-pic-with-aub-and-colt

And guess what?

That office on the top floor was not important anymore.

I wanted TIME at home with my daughter.

And after working away her first two years we made the family choice to become a single family home after the arrival of our little guy.

It was hard.
The adjustment to SAHM life was hard.
I missed my independence
And did I mention being a SAHM was hard?

But then the unthinkable happened again and A NEW DOOR opened.
This new door was going to give me the opportunity to live in the best of both worlds.

Coaching Opportunity picture

To have some independence back but to still be MOM.

This opportunity came at a time that I wasn’t looking and never realized HOW MUCH I needed it.

And while my office -covered in pictures from my little Miss with paint stains on my desk compliments of my kids-is a far cry from that top office in the big Apple….I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!

I chose the path others run from because it’s DIFFERENT.

I wa willing to put the work in no matter what iteration thought because I BELIEVED in the business.

And you know what—that same opportunity is there for you too!

Are you that girlI’m launching a very special NEW COACH training this month as I SEARCH FOR MY NEXT FAB 5!

How to enjoy vacation without undoing your fitness results

Hearing the amazing news that I was SELECTED as one of the participants in the SHIFT SHOP TESTGROUP was like a dream come true.

Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, Maegan Blinka Beachbody Coach, What is the Shift Shop, Chris Downing's new fitness program, Crossfit program you can do at home, Example Shift Shop meal plan, Shift Shop Meal plan example, Home fitness program, Results with home fitness programs, How to take before pictures, Posed before pictures for Shift Shop

Then I looked at the calendar – Round 1 started with the week of my son’s birthday & Round 2 started with a week long vacation with our friends and family.

I immediately thought of the hurdles but quickly turned it around and imagined:

How good would it feel to not only get AMAZING results leading up to our beach vacation but to actually come home from that trip with those SAME RESULTS!?!?

2017-06-03 07.39.18I don’t know about you but even with a very healthy balanced lifestyle,  I will admittedly work *extra* hard leading up to an event and let the food and emotions run wild once the big day/trip comes.

It seems silly – I mean why work so hard to undo it?

How great would it be if you didn’t come home from vacation with guilt and another long(er) road ahead of you?!?!?!

And so…that’s just what I did!

I wrapped up Round 1 of the Shift Shop testgroup nearly 5 pounds lighter and with increased confidence which propelled me into a 2 day travel trip and week long trip at the beach with habits in tact and goals that couldn’t be squashed!

Was I perfect?

2017-05-31 08.04.01Nope! Not at all.

But I stuck to my guns and never felt like I was missing out or “couldn’t” eat what everyone else was eating. I simply ate what my body craved and if I wanted to taste a bite of ice cream or sample the mac and cheese I did – but you know what…I never felt the need for more than a taste!

So how can YOU go on your next vacation or weekend getaway without reversing the work you put in beforehand:

  • PACK SNACKS for the car. And no I’m not meaning bars and pretzels! My road trip snacks included:
    • Cut up apple for easy drive/snacking
    • Red peppers
    • Over hard eggs
    • Roasted veggies
    • Shakeology and coconut water filled shaker cup
    • Strawberries
    • Fruity gum
  • Allow your friends to know you’re working on becoming a healthier version of YOU and if they’re truly your friends they will support YOU
  • 2 words: SPARKLING WATER
    • There were adult beverages going down but you know what – I never had ONE! And I didn’t feel I had to! I sipped a sparkling water of choice and still had a blast at game night, watched the PENS playoff hockey game and lounged by the pool without feeling like I was missing out on the fun! Because I didn’t want it. I didn’t want the extra calories and when you don’t WANT it you don’t feel like you’re MISSING a thing!
    • 2017-05-31 07.51.46
  • Plan to workout daily
    • PICK A TIME: While I was initially thinking I would get up at 6 and work it – I didn’t! I talked to my hubs who was cool with us enjoying the morning for as long as it would last until the littles woke up – so we did!!! Some mornings I got them breakfast before I pressed play some mornings he took the reigns. They were up by 7 each day – but I enjoyed the no alarm.  But each morning I had some company with me and you know what – I LOVED it!!!

 

  • THE POINT: Just make sure you DO IT. Pack weights or a resistance band if you need it or go with a no equipment workout like CORE DE FORCE or PIYO and keep moving!
  1. Grocery shop
    • Obviously your storage situations will vary but with our beach trip we were in a house! The kiddos and I stopped at the farmers market on the way down and then hit up the grocery store once we got there. On pizza night I ordered a salad. On Taco Tuesday I whipped up a Taco Salad and splurged on a few chips – key word: FEW. When we did the steamer buckets I fried some eggs and enjoyed leftover veggies!!!
  2. Drink your Shakeology daily

Not only does it help with cravings but its an easy meal to pack and make and can be enjoyed any time of the day! It was breakfast a few times, lunch a few times and even a late night snack one night! This is one meal/snack that feels like a splurge BUT ISN’T so enjoy it when you can!

 

For the first time EVER I came home from a week long vacation without the guilt.

I sat down Sunday made my meal plan for the meal plans for the hubs and I

BrickSanity:  Asylum strength and T25 mixture and a lot of insane craziness!

Speed 4.0:  Speed workout similar to what you did in T25 Speed 1.0 and 2.0 and 3.0 but taken to a new level

Shift Shop week 2 recap – Week 3 Meal Plan

2 weeks down and 1 to go before the “official” ROUND 1 of Shift Shop is in the books and my goodness all I gotta say is IT FEELS GOOD to be a challenger again!

2017-05-15 22.43.53

Being a part of this test group has been amazing on many different levels but mentally – I needed to go back to square one and this is getting me there.

2017-05-17 06.26.25

SHOP RULE: Don’t let the move finish you. You finish the MOVE.

To measure my foods again – CONSISTENTLY.

To make a plan and STICK TO IT

To be faced with temptations and PROUDLY turn them down because I have COMMITTED to becoming a better version of me.

The program is designed to “ramp up” each week. So you’re switching up the meal plan AND increasing the intensity and length of the workouts.

Week 1 was a combo of 25 minute strength and cardio based workouts and week 2 brough it up to 35.

The beginning of week 2 also re-emphasized what I too often tell others and needed to remind myself: THE SCALE LIES!

By day 9, I wasn’t feeling that my “results” – aka – the number – was matching my efforts (after GAINING a pound back I found myself discouraged) but instead of getting upset about it – I took my pictures. And well they show the story I am feeling.

2017-05-16 22.44.13

Just 9 days in I was feeling lighter, far less bloated (which I attribute to the consistent avoidance of GLUTEN!!) and the need for an afternoon caffeine energy boost was no longer needed.

Meals and snacks prepped for the day: Shakeology and water, Turkey burger and veggies, Apple and almond butter, Red peppers and hard boiled eggs

I traveled over the weekend and it was actually EMPOWERING to have my meals & snacks packed for the day AND stick to them, rather than caving for whatever convenience foods were at my fingertips.

2017-05-20 06.08.06What I love about the meal plan guide you get with this program is the SIMPLICITY. I don’t mind eating the same foods throughout the week and this plan is structured to give you the same “plan” to follow M/W/F/S and then again T/TH/S. It works – it makes planning and shopping EASY and I am really finding my groove.

Week 3 continues with the ramp up progression as our workouts are taken to 45 minutes and the meal plan is adjusted to eliminate yellows (carbs) — (for the calorie bracket I fall into) and increasing greens (veggies) and reds (proteins).

Shift Shop week 3 meal plan edited

Shift Shop Week 3 Meal Plan (PLAN A)

I did find myself looking for a bit more healthy fats (with the avocados and nuts) but honestly the carb reduction has been way easier than I expected! And different from other plans I’ve done that cut carbs and increase proteins/greens…I get to keep my fruits in with this plan – which is huge for me!!!

I am looking forward to conquering this last week and sharing how amazing this program truly is and can be for you too!!!

Chopped salad

Its been 5 days of MAKING THE SHIFT with the new program SHIFT SHOP and I gotta say-feeling like a brand new baby challenger again just starting out has me feeling all the feels!!!

When I committed to the 21-day fix over 3 years ago i was 100% COMMITTED – following my meal plans, measuring my foods, avoiding the temptations and just staying focused. Once I met my “goal weight” I got more lenient.

Arguably –  Rightfully so…but then I got comfortable. And 2 pounds here and 3 there started to add up.

And while my focus is not on the scale and more so on how I FEEL it was rippling into other areas and I am PROUD to say I AM BACK IN MY GROOVE!!!

One thing I used to have DAILY was a salad for lunch. I’m not talking plain chicken and lettuce. A loaded, filling, FUN and different salad to help me get in the greens and really fuel up on good foods and with salads a part of the daily lunch plan in week 1 of SHIFT SHOP – I fell back into where I started.

chopped salad.jpg

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 cup romaine/spinach
  • 1/2 cup carrots
  • 6oz grilled chicken (rotisserie also works well!)
  • 1/2 cup steamed edamame
  • 2 tbs almond slivers
  • Dressing of choice

(If you’re following the Shift Shop meal plan or Portion Fix nutrition system this would be: 1.5 greens, 1 red, 1 yellow, 1/2 blue, 1 orange) 

Optional:

  • Strawberries
  • Tomatoes
  • Red peppers
  • Avocado

WHAT TO DO:

Combine the lettuce/spinach, carrots and chicken in a large bowl and chop (I find using the Pampered Chef Salad Choppers makes it a BREEZE!!!) 

Add any additional toppings and dressing. Continue to chop

Top with almonds and edamame and ENJOY!!!

2017 Success Club trip to Punta Cana

“Good food, good times good people. Life is too short for anything else.”

Photo Apr 24, 10 24 54 AM I left the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana yesterday with a relaxed mind and grateful heart.

Photo Apr 24, 9 35 00 AM

This was the THIRD Success Club trip my husband and I have earned since becoming a coach 3 years ago but each one provides a gentle reminder of how grateful I am that just 3 short years ago I followed my gut feeling – became a coach – instilled BELIEF in myself and JUST JUMPED! And we have truly NEVER looked back!

Big picture – we EARNED this trip because of the success my coaching business achieved in 2016 for HELPING other PEOPLE reach THEIR health and fitness GOALS.
What started as a way to get a discount on my Shakeology grew to sharing this opportunity with my close friends and family and has transpired into helping HUNDREDS of women & families all around the US and Canada and I’m no where near finished.

Photo Apr 23, 8 52 34 AMI’ve been going on 3 trips annually through coaching – one in each the Spring, Summer and Fall.

The fall one which is earned and geared towards leadership.

The summer one is our Coach Summit & open to all coaches

And this one in the Spring is earned and limited to a select number of coaches.

While each have their own purpose and involve a combo of work and play this one is really geared towards celebrating your own successes and mingling with other coaches. And that is just what we did!

Our 5 days included a mix of US time and TEAM time and NETWORKING time. All with their own defined purpose and enjoyed to no end!

Punta Cana cover photo

The one thing I never realized I was getting when I joined this business was the FAMILY you become a part of.

I love our team culture and the women I have grown to know, love and vacation with!

Photo Apr 24, 6 49 03 PMWe enjoyed lots of time by the pool, listening to the waves crash, cruising the open waters on a Catamaran and mingling with our friends at the welcome and closing ceremonies.
But let’s be real – you can’t have a Team Beachbody trip without some killer workout sessions!Photo Apr 25, 9 06 17 AM.jpg

Both Autumn Calabrese & our brand new super trainer, Chris Downing joined us here on this trip and led group workouts each morning.

Punta Cana Success Club trip Chris Downing

Success Club trip Punta Cana with Autumn.png

Autumn did a variety of workouts from her programs, 21-day Fix & Hammer & Chisel and Chris gave us some sneak peeks into the new program coming soon – SHIFT SHOP.

I love all live workouts but the fact that I get to participate in the EXCLUSIVE test group starting May 8th and get to complete it before it available to public drew my focus and excitement through the roof.

His style is so incredibly MOTIVATING and well, the workouts make you WORK! They’re different and all moves include a modifier so they really appeal to a large audience!!!
