Sugar Detox complete: 3 Day refresh Results

April 20, 2017Leave a comment

You know that moment when you KNOW its time to commit and just DO IT?!?!

That was me, Sunday night, as we wrapped up Easter Sunday and I found myself sitting on a tiny food baby after the delicious yet carb overload Italian dinner I enjoyed at my grandmothers.

Yes I am a health coach.

Yes I practice clean eating and portion control.

But sometimes SOMETIMES when faced with the opportunity to enjoy some childhood favorites…you just don’t say NO! And raviolis and meatballs rose to the occasion!

I enjoyed every moment and knew come Monday morning it was detox time!

And I was fortunate to have my hubs on board with me!

What I love MOST about this 3 day plant based cleanse is the fact that you actually are EATING. It is designed to help you: bust through a plateau, kickstart your fitness journey, or just help you beat the bloat and get back on track!!!

Its not a starvation diet or liquid diet – but rather a safe, easy cleanse that’s a wrap in just 3 days!!!

Its a combo of fruits, veggies, proteins and healthy fats…so no…you’re not STARVING! Check out my meal plan below!

And I already know what you’re thinking…but its not THAT KIND of cleanse 💩

Sure, its going to help rid your body of the junk but its totally something you can do at work, or while on the go or incorporate into your regular family life.
3 day refresh lunch For me – it was all about getting back to my ROUTINE, breaking the sugar cycle and getting off to a great start with all my SPRING INTO FITNESS challengers.

You can see a more detailed breakdown of all the food you get to eat in the meal plan below

I have done this several times and have to say having my hubby on board this round totally helped!

The meal prep was a breeze, I didn’t have to worry about many temptations and we just adapted our meals with our kiddos meals each day!

He managed to drop 9 POUNDS in the 3 days (mind you he also put on 5 pounds Easter weekend! lol) and while I have no numbers with you to share – I lost the bloat and that was my #1 goal!!

My husband and I both noticed how our wedding rings were more lose which I attribute to the lack of gluten and other inflammatory known foods! Heck that alone is worth it!!!

If you’re thinking about doing this yourself – these are my top tips! But honestly SUPPORT is VITAL!

I had a few challengers also complete this with us and I was super excited to wake up to messages today sharing one dropped 5 pounds and woke up after the final day “feeling amazing” and the second lost 3″ off her waist ALONE!

I am not a “quick fix” kind of girl but sometimes you just need to hit the RESTART button and START FRESH!

I am feeling confident and ready to pack my bags and head off to Punta Cana this weekend and my body is grateful for the quick little detox!

If you’re interested in learning more about the refresh and/or having the support and accountability in one of my ongoing Challenge groups – fill out the application below!

Spring into Fitness

April 10, 2017Leave a comment

I think its safe to say SPRING HAS OFFICIALLY sprung!

The boots are packed away, winter coats stuffed to the back of the closets and the shorts, tanks, and rompers are making their debut!

And maybe you’re EXCITED for this change of seasons…OR maybe you’re finding yourself lacking confidence with the wardrobe change because well, its been 6 months of hibernating and winter layers and while the sunny days are invigorating, it can be a bit nerve racking at the same time.

Trust me…I’VE BEEN THERE my friend…its not a happy place!!! When the first warm day comes and you go to pull those shorts up and they don’t zip…it kind of sucks.

Like it or not – the time is here. And its time to drop the cover ups and just be you..but I want you to be a …happy, CONFIDENT, YOU – and with that I am inviting you to Spring into FITNESS with me!!!

Let’s be real…the BBQs and graduations and holiday happenings are always going to HAPPEN and should be ENJOYED…in moderation of course, but there’s a way to find a happy medium – balance amongst the madness and I want to teach you what I’ve had the privilege of teaching HUNDREDS of others.

How to find discipline and self satisfaction beyond the fork! Because setting goals is one thing but achieving them is a whole new level and I can tell you from experience…nothing tastes as good as FEELING CONFIDENT feels!

I am launching my next online accountability group Monday April 17th…the day AFTER Easter my friends – and this is your open invitation to join, ask questions or simply learn more about what this opportunity entails!

I personally will be kickstarting my fitness with a 3-day refresh immediately following Eater as we launch our group! The 3-day refresh is a great option for you whether you’re just getting started, trying to bust through a plateau or simply need a good challenge and change up.

Its plant based and allows you (me!) to kick the bloat from things that commonly bother me like the sugar and gluten that finds its way into all the Easter treats!

From there we will roll into a 90 day commitment.

Results, transformation, shakeology results, accountability groups, do support groups work, online support groups, Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, 70 pound weight loss, weight loss results

Can you get results sooner? ABSOLUTELY! But I have lived and learned and I know it takes 21ish days to set the habits into place but more like 90 days to truly walk through the trenches of life and be able to come out on the other end ROCKING those goals and proud of the changes you’ve made!

In this group you’ll get ongoing accountability and motivation from me and I’ll help you understand the meal plans that come with your workout plan and how you can tweak the ideas and make them work for YOU!

You’ll see ideas – similar to my upcoming week below – and whether you use this same one – modify it a bit – or make your own – the point is – you do it…and I help you get there!

I am looking for 10 women who:

Are willing to commit to 25-45 minutes of exercise daily – that can be done at home!
Will replace one meal with nutrient dense Shakeology.
Want to FEEL CONFIDENT in their skin.
Are interested in surrounding themselves with other positive, uplifting women
Can commit to checking into an online accountability group at least 1x a day.

This opportunity is limited to 10 women who are willing to selfishly invest $4 a day in THEMSELVES.

Moms…I know you’re thinking “…but…I just can’t…”

Yes…you can. You have to make the commitment. Not because I THINK it will work but because I can speak from experience that I KNOW it will work if you if you put in the effort and commitment on your end.

*If you miss the deadline for this group and would like to be considered for my next virtual challenge, please complete the application below and I will be in touch within 24 hours.

Application deadline is April 16th.

On a recent trip through downtown, as we approached the noteworthy views of the Pittsburgh city skyline my daughter exclaimed “Look mommy your old work building” – and she turned to Colt and shared “Mommy used to work there but she didn’t get to see me very much”

And while that comment half tugged at my heart strings and left me filled with guilt – because I did in fact MISS the majority of her first two years of life – it also was a gentle reminder…to give gratitude that many years ago – I followed my heart.

Aubrie sunnset

I left my career behind with no back up plan so I could be a more present mom than I had been the two years prior and a just a year after that found this opportunity.

2013-05-11 12.39.12.jpg

I didn’t realize it then but looking back I now BELIEVE this opportunity was INTENTIONALLY placed in front of me because this is where I am meant to be.

I was a working mom THEN and I am a working mom NOW…but its different.

The career of coaching was never something I sought.

I had no idea the term “network marketing company” even existed but that’s what I joined…I signed up and I have never looked back.

3 years in – and I am leading a top team in the entire COMPANY – grateful that I followed my heart.

I ditched the desk job and took the road less traveled.

I traded in my suit pants for yoga pants.

And while my rise and grind time still starts at 5am – my days look much different than they did a few years ago.

It has taken many late nights and early mornings but I designed the life I love…

A life that led me to find a NEW FOUND passion in life

A life that allows me to continuously help others while always working on becoming a better version of myself

And a life that allows me to be PRESENT in the lives my family – of my children and with my husband.

I realize that this job isn’t for everyone but I learned a few years ago – that this glass slipper, or shall I say nike – FITS…so we roll with it.

If you don’t LOVE your career or the lifestyle you’re leading…only YOU have the power to make a change.

No one else can do the work for you.

And when in doubt…take the road less traveled. It’s never crowded

I am leading a -no obligation- informational call and I invite you to join ME!

Amongst the March Madness

March 14, 2017March 15, 2017Leave a comment

It was 3 years ago today that I ***GULP*** made it public and launched my “coaching business” to the world 🌎

I made a public post on social media INVITING my friends and family and followers to join me in this journey…a journey that was shaping and impacting my life in ways I never imagined but absolutely LOVED at the same time!!!

It was a request to commit to:

The accountability of a challenge group.
To replace one meal a day with Shakeology.
And too follow a fitness program…and to track/document/see how it could IMPACT them!

It started with one person.
Then the next month two.
Then the next month more and more…

And as I continuously SHARED what I was doing and the pride I had sharing my experiences with other women-and other moms-it began to grow.

some moms lift more than kids.png

As of today, I have had the honor of helping hundreds of people get started on their health and fitness journey and while I’m humbled to share that — I know it’s just a small dent in what I am capable of.

Finding balance amongst the madness isn’t always easy but that’s where I come in!!!

Amongst the March Madness.jpg

To help you-support you-be real with you and make sure that you don’t just say you’re going to make a change…but that you follow through!!!

Fast and Simple Cauliflower Rice

February 28, 2017February 27, 20171 Comment

Need a simple side dish but trying to avoid going carb crazy?!

We are LOVING cauliflower fried rice but I do believe there are good approaches to this simple little dish and not so good!

My best tip: KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Here’s what we found to rock our world:

WHAT YOU NEED:

3 cups riced cauliflower
1 TBS coconut oil
2 TBS slivered almonds
2 TBS fresh parsley

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Heat coconut oil over medium high heat
When hot, add riced cauliflower and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until it reaches your desired tenderness (note the color of the cauliflower will change slightly as it cooks…I used that as a guide!)
Top with the almonds and parsley and SERVE & ENJOY!

Note: We paired this with meatloaf for a classic, home cooked combo that warmed the tummy but didn’t grow the waistline!!!

Whether you’re new to clean eating or a seasoned pro – if you’re interested in more information fill out the form below to join one of my upcoming health and fitness accountability and support groups! Together we can end the trend of obesity!

An amputee’s journey to CONFIDENCE

February 27, 2017February 20, 2017Leave a comment

I first connected with Cheryl in December 2014.

A then random connection on social media – turned into a challenger in my challenge groups – turned into one of the most INSPIRATIONAL women I’ve ever met.

Cheryl has had an incredible journey and I am honored to share it today…

In November 2012 her right arm was amputated and miraculously saved and replanted. She has no bicep, 1/2 a tricep and limited use of her hand. She had lost 60 pounds and then started having surgeries again and gained 40 back.

She is someone who enjoys exercise but needed help to get going again. That’s where I came in!!!

She knew she couldn’t always do all the moves of all the programs but she was willing to get STARTED – TRY – and use the nutrition program and daily Shakeology to fuel her body.

She had struggled with emotional eating but found exercise fills that need and she began to THRIVE…

Here’s a bit from Cheryl in her own words:

“I’m Cheryl and have been participating in Maegan’s challenge groups for over a year. She asked me to share how participating in the groups have impacted my life.

First off, I was embarrassed about how I looked and where I let myself get to. That’s what was the catalyst for me reaching out to Maegan.

So I joined a challenge group and started drinking shakeology. I swallowed my pride and become vulnerable to the process she introduced me to and when I did I was received without judgement and got support ….. REAL support!

Daily atta girls when I checked in and posted. When I stumbled I received input on how to accept my slip and make it better next time…… tools for my continued success. I realized TOGETHER we are strong!

That’s why I still participate a year later; it’s the support and knowing I’m not alone. Knowing there’s somebody in the group who has been there, is there or will be there. By participating I get help but I give help by openly sharing my journey .

I’ve come a LONG way and still have a ways to go so I still habitually post my accountability sweaty selfie and check in about how my day went because the process WORKS!

Results, transformation, shakeology results, accountability groups, do support groups work, online support groups, Maegan Blinka, Megan Blinka, 70 pound weight loss, weight loss results
74 pounds later I can say I’m proof!

I’m off the insulin, the blood pressure meds, the anxiety and depression meds….I’m HEALTHY, HAPPY and have met some amazing, supportive women who have my back….. all I had to do was get over myself and honestly give the process a chance.

Live Look into the Beachbody #CoachLife

February 20, 2017Leave a comment

I was not a fitness expert and I’m still not.
I was not a nutritionist and I am still learning something new every day.
I was not at my goal weight and somedays I am at it and others not so much…its a journey.
I only posted on social media to share periodic pictures of my kiddos and NEVER liked or commented on anyone else’s pictures…#didntwanttobeacreeper
I thought people who took selfies were self absorbed & CR-A-ZY!
I never wanted to be called a “sales person”
I didn’t have Instagram or a Blog and had no desire to learn them.

And the list goes on……

Sound familiar? I get it!! Those same concerns you have about coaching…I had them too.

But you know what I realized? I knew I had POTENTIAL.

Potential to build a business while at home with my littles…

Potential to help other women lose their baby weight just like ME…

Potential to help women simply FEEL confident again…

Potential to provide for my family…

Potential to relate and create a TRIBE of other women who just GOT IT.

So you know what?

I pushed those fears aside and went for it.

I won’t say its always easy but my goodness its worth it!

Behind the scenes of a Challenge group

February 12, 2017February 12, 2017Leave a comment

I am so excited to kick off my first ever “What is a Challenge Group – LIVE LOOK” – closed accountability group on Facebook!

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?

“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!!!

its-not-about-having-time-its-about-making-time

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.

black and white pic with aub and colt.JPG

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.
