And that’s a wrap – Insanity Max: 30 – Results

February 3, 2015February 4, 20152 Comments

*8 weeks down*

*48 workouts in the books*

*1 pound lost*

*4 inches gone*

And one stronger MAMA!

If you want a break from packing up and trekking to the gym in this freezing cold, snowy weather, then I encourage you to take it to the MAX with just 30 minutes a day/ 5-6 days a week in your warm, comfy home!!!

The last week was a true test of strength and I was extra thankful to have my hubby pushing me through the entire 30 minutes of Friday Fight Round 2 as we closed out the week!

I wanted to make sure I pushed myself as hard as possible….afterall it was my last chance to top my prior max out times! I succeeded in every workout, even though Max Out Strength was by a mere 2 seconds and Max out Cardio had a few interruptions in it – I did it!

I came into this program looking to get STRONGER! I was comfortable with my starting weight and as my 60 days took me through Christmas, travels, Holiday parties and New Years my main focus was to MAINTAIN!

I know my nutrition wasn’t perfect. I was more in line with my 80/20 rule: 80% of the time I was spot on with my portions and eating according to the plan. The other 20% of the time we enjoyed the Christmas cookies and birthday cake (or birthday donut!), the baguette from Panera or ice cream treat! It was about BALANCE – and I feel I reached my goal!

I will say – those little containers sure did come in handy! I was never hungry or feeling deprived as long as I got all my containers and Shakeology in I was good to go…but so were the sweet treats!

I didn’t have a crazy transformation but I didn’t really expect one! I started and ended at nearly the exact same weight – losing one pound in the 60 days and 4 inches primarily around my waist and bellybutton.

To be honest, I thought about skipping the whole before and after picture posting…there isn’t a drastic change visually and I wasn’t sure that it was really worth it. But I thought about it some more and decided I needed to share. I’m comfortable with the results, happy to say I didn’t gain weight during a time of the year when the majority of Americans are gaining 7-10 pounds, and my endurance ROCKS! I did a workout yesterday that pre-Max:30 I struggled with. I could do it – but it wasn’t easy.

Yesterday, I was able to increase my weights and complete the entire 30 minute workout with ease. That helped me realize I did change. Maybe I didn’t lose tons of inches or pounds but I am a stronger, healthier person. And for that reason I am proud to say I’m an Insanity Max: 30 graduate!

I loved the convenience of using my own body weight for all of the workouts but I am secretly excited to get back to “moving iron” as Autumn Calabrese would put it, and I will soon be beginning my next phase of my journey with the 21-Day Fix Extreme in preparation for a marathon relay this spring!

If you would like to join me on this journey, simply fill out the application below to join my February 9th Accountability group! I always say, there’s power in numbers!!!! We can do this together!

Overnight Oats

February 2, 2015February 15, 201612 Comments

If you’re looking for a fast and easy “breakfast to-go” or a great snack I encourage you to try Overnight Oats:

WHAT YOU NEED:

1/4 cup oats (quick oats work the best but you could use old fashioned or steel cut if you’d like)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
3/4 cup plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 TBS chia seeds
1/2 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
1 TBS of honey!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Mix all ingredients together, let sit in the fridge at least 8 hours, give a big stir and ENJOY! I know it doesn’t look as appetizing as the “before” picture above but don’t let that fool you – its delish!

You can prep 3-4 of these at once and have them ready to grab and go later in the week! I also found frozen berries work great because as they thaw in the fridge you get that extra juicy liquid/flavor added to the mix!

Alternatives for all my 21-day fixers:

1/4 cup oats 1 Yellow
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk – see below
3/4 cup plain Greek Yogurt – 1 Red
1/2 TBS chia seeds – see below
1/2 cup berries (fresh or frozen) – 1/2 Purple
1 TBS of honey!

As you may know, you can sub out 1 yellow per week for 16oz of almond milk. Given that 1/4 cup is only 2 oz almond milk you could technically have 8 of these to equal 1 yellow. I would try to adjust accordingly but unless I am following the diet very strictly I don’t count the 1/4 cup!

*Autumn came back after the launch of the 21-day fix and indicated that 1/2 cup almond milk would be a freebie

As for the chia seeds – these are not part of the nutrition guide for the 21-day fix. When I am following the 21-day fix guide, I sub ground flax seeds.

Any questions – post below!

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!

There’s power in numbers – but you only have control of ONE!

Free 7-day clean eating group

January 29, 2015January 29, 20152 Comments

Did you know 92% of people who set New Years Resolutions nearly a month ago have already failed at them? Crazy right?!!? But its true!!! If you were one who set out for a big year with big health and fitness goals and you’ve already thrown in the towel – pick it back up! Don’t give up yet and don’t give in! Its time to be in the minority and get back to the basics!!!

Whether it was to start getting up earlier, to ditch the soda, start exercising, eat healthier, pass on the pizza or simply read more – you still have time to bounce back!!! After all, there’s still 11 full months left in 2015!

Its been almost a year since I joined my first challenge group but I still remember how hard it was! I had a lifetime of bad eating habits! The usual – not enough protein, too many carbs, skipping meals, then overindulging at the next and I could live on sweets! I didn’t exercise regularly and I used a pile of excuses to back it up. It seemed okay at the time but I quickly found myself with 2 little ones to take care of and little energy to do so – I needed a change – STAT!

Looking back I can’t help but think of the drastic change in the quality of my life thanks to clean eating and my at home Beachbody workouts!!! We all bounce to the beat of a different drum but once you find what works for you its a complete “ah-ha” moment! I want nothing more than for everyone to find that magic combo that works for THEM. That combo of nutrition and fitness that turns into a healthy lifestyle and not a temporary crash diet!

So as a means to pay it forward, I am going to be hosting a 7-day FREE Clean eating group starting on February 2nd. You will get a meal plan, tips, recipes, and above all else SUPPORT! Click the link below for more information!

What are the requirements?

1. You must make me your official Team Beachbody Coach by going to my site and creating a free profile. This way I can send you recipes, meal plans and monthly motivation and tips to keep you on track with your lifestyle.

2. I need you to commit to checking in once a day to our closed online group and participate for the next 7 days!

3. Invite 2 friends or family members to join! Why not bring a few friends and loved ones along for the ride! There is nothing better than having an accountability partner in the next 7 days!!!! You are more likely to stick with it if you have someone by your side and what better than someone who knows you best!

What do you get for joining?

1. Free 7 day meal plan with grocery list
2. A place to check in daily, ask questions, get support and motivation.
3. Daily tips and recipes that have worked for me.
4. Strategies for adapting these small changes into your current lifestyle

5. Option to buy a 7-day Shakeology sampler kit. If you’ve been thinking about giving Shakeology a try but weren’t quite sure where to start now’s the chance. The kit is $35 and I can ship to anyone in the U.S.

Are you ready to get started? We will begin the group on Monday February 2nd so please reserve your spot today!

MANCAKES

January 25, 2015January 25, 20155 Comments

FRUITY MANCAKES

Ok, these may not sound amazing but don’t doubt me yet…

These little perfectly balanced protein pancakes – aka – MANCAKES have taken off in my house! It started when I was helping my hubby with his meal plan and was in the middle of a 3-day refresh. I watched him make them for 3 nights and decided this would be my first non-vegan food item when I was finished! And I have been hooked on them ever since!

Here’s the thing – they’re so versatile! You can add more or less oats…you can do just eggs, just egg whites or a combo of egg and egg whites…all depending on your own preferences and goals! Plus my little guy likes them so its a bonus score!

I’ll share with you the 21-day fix/Insanity Max: 30 approved recipe I use along with my husband’s.

WHAT YOU NEED

Her recipe (21 day fix approved) – Yields 4-5 pancakes

1/4 cup quick oats – 1 Yellow
4 Egg whites – 1/2 Red
1/2 cup berries or 1/4 of a banana – 1/2 Purple
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon

His recipe – Yields 12 pancakes

1.5 cups oats
6 Egg whites
1 Egg
1 banana or 1 cup berries
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Preheat pan to medium heat.
Combine the Egg/Egg whites, oats, vanilla and cinnamon. You can do this in a bowl if you want to leave the oats ‘whole’ or in a blender if you like a smoother, more pancake-like consistency. Stir or pulse a few times to combine.

Add fruit and pulse until you get the desired consistency you like!
Using a 1/4 cup, pour into pan, cooking each side about 2 minutes or until you see the edges forming. Flip once. Let cool and store in air tight container or eat immediately!

The one thing I LOVE about these is that you can eat them hot or cold, in the car, or running around – which fits my lifestyle perfectly!!!

My husband prefers a banana in his and blended smooth where I prefer the berries and more like a oat consistency.

Honestly though – you can’t go wrong! They’re so tasty and the fact that they’re also gluten free is just an added bonus!

If you’re ever looking for more clean eating meal ideas, tips, recipes or just motivation – join my next health and fitness accountability group! I’m a big believer – there’s power in numbers!!!

Insanity Max: 30 Prep for final week

January 25, 2015Leave a comment

7 weeks down – only 1 to go!!!

Its still hard to believe I’m one week shy of being an Insanity Max:30 GRADUATE! This program has been the most challenging fitness program I’ve ever done but I have to say…I’ve enjoyed every minute of it! Its all in the mind – believe you can and you will. Believe you can’t and well, you can’t!

My hubby recently started a hybrid of Body Beast and Insanity Max:30 so we have been able to join forces a few times. Even though he is still in month 1 he decided he would jump into the Friday Fight Round 2…talk about a happy Friday morning wake up call!!! I’m not 100% positive but his comment to me at about the 6 minute mark was something like “he said WHAT…this dude is insane” – but of course he continued to push though…and because he believed he could – he DID!

Not much can beat a sweaty SMOOCH ❤

I was fortunate to have a surprise visit from my mama this weekend and with most visits comes an early morning workout! This time Aubrie joined us as well so we had 3 generations, sweating, laughing, making memories and getting FIT – together!!! I love when I asked her if we could get a group picture and she immediately flexed…she’s so my daughter!!!

I don’t always do the optional Pulse workout but the timing was perfect this week! I always push myself harder when I work out with my hubby and the extra 10 minute ab attack really finished the week on a positive note!

With the final week staring me in the face I decided to make things a bit more simpler! I spent my Sunday planning my week and getting my meal plan together and focusing on reaching my goals! I really want to top all my prior max out times and I know in order to function at my max I have to fuel my body with the right foods.

I’m incorporating my new food obsession daily – man cakes – and sticking to basic, easy, balanced meals. We had a few social events this weekend that put me a little off track but I’m ready to focus and nail it this week!!!

Here’s my game plan!

And to all my 21-day fixers out there – the little color coded references stand true for you too!

If you are interested Insanity Max: 30, the 21-Day Fix or any other workout program and would like to get 1:1 coaching and support along with motivation and accountability, please fill out my challenge and accountability application below! I will share tips and recipes and I will help you with the one thing I always found so difficult – MEAL PLANNING! Remember – your health and fitness success is 80% nutrition. You can get all the results and support you need right in your own home – and you don’t have to do it alone!

Chipotle Lime Greek Chicken

January 19, 2015Leave a comment

Ok this is going to sound like the most simple recipe out there but it really was so good I had to share!

I was working through my weekly Sunday Meal prepping and I went to make my typical lightly seasoned and baked chicken… (much too cold to grill – oh sweet summer time hurry up!!!) I usually just spritz the bottom on the pan and top of the chicken with a little olive oil, sea salt and maybe some garlic, that’s about it! Nothing to rave about but simple and it works for my family!

Well tonight I got creative! I had recently ordered some Wildtree Chipotle Lime Rub but I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it but when my hubby asked what was for dinner I wanted to respond with something new!

I went ahead and just rubbed a little onto the chicken and added 1-2 TBS of plain nonfat greek yogurt to the top of each one, baked and whaaalaaa! So juicy and full of flavor without being overpowering!!!

CHIPOTLE LIME GREEK CHICKEN

WHAT YOU NEED:

2 pounds chicken breasts
1-2 TBS Wildtree Chipotle Lime Rub
4 TBS of Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (I used Oikos)

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees
Sprinkle the seasoning and rub into each piece of chicken
Spread 1-2 TBS of yogurt onto each piece of chicken
Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked thoroughly.

I paired this with some roasted broccoli, cauliflower and carrots and I baked them all together. Finished off with baked sweet potato (left over from last week’s meal prepping) and we had one delicious meal and some lunches ready for later in the week!

21-day fix/Insanity Max:30 portion control meal plan:

Chicken – 1 red; Veggies – 1 Green; Sweet Potato – 1 Yellow

I hope you like it!

Insanity Max: 30 Week 6 in review, Week 7 Meal plan

January 17, 2015January 17, 20152 Comments

6 weeks down and 2 to go! I can’t believe I am in the homestretch!!!

This last week was a little different but challenging yet still!

I had an absolutely AMAZING weekend in the ‘burgh for Pittsburgh’s Super Friday and our Dream Team Celebration Saturday.

I got to meet our CEO Carl Daikeler:

I got to meet AND workout with the creator of the 21-day fix – Autumn Calabrese and try out her new 21-day fix EXTREME:

Of course we worked out…

But we also celebrated and ate, and ate, and ate some more!

So needless to say I needed a jumpstart for week 6 – enter a simple little cleanse – the 3-day REFRESH!

Sometimes its hard to get back in the swing of things. I’m a routine type of person. Keep me on my routine and I’m as happy as can be. Stray from that – and watch out! It wasn’t easy jumping back in…I could feel the bad nutrition choices lingering in my body but I knew the easiest way was to JUST DO IT – so I did!

Monday was a typical day and then I started the 3-day refresh on Tuesday. The guide says to do “moderate exercise” so I stayed with the modifier in Insanity Max: 30 on both Wednesday and Thursday but went full out Friday morning – what can I say I was feeling REFRESHED!!!

If you haven’t heard of this yet or given it a try – please consider it! I am not big on diets, cleanses etc… but this is different!

You can read more about What is the 3-day Refresh on a prior post but your daily meals look a little something like this —->

You really are eating all day long – its simple, vegan, small meals, some shakes and a few really good night sleeps! Trust me!

By Friday morning, the bloat was gone, I was down 3 pounds, 3 inches, rested and ready to continue on with my healthy eating habits!

These just goes to show you how important your nutrition is! I never missed a workout but that bloat was BAD! But hey – I’m back on track!!!

I wrapped up the week with a morning sweat mesh with my #1 by my side. We have a jam packed weekend so I got a jump start on my next week’s meal plan and off to music class and SAMs club we go!

Stay strong, be healthy, make good choices – and SWEAT TODAY!

21- Day Fix Extreme – COMING SOON!

January 15, 20151 Comment

The countdown is ON!

Autumn Calabrese knocked it out of the ballpark last February with the release of her first DVD home workout program the 21-day fix. The simple, portion controlled nutrition guide and balanced 30 minute workouts could be tackled by anyone at any fitness level. It was a hit all across the US and continues to be one of the most popular home workout programs – why? It works!!!

Well she’s back at it again but this time taking it to the EXTREME!

I had a chance to listen to her live on Friday night at our Pittsburgh Super Friday event and she shared the details of this program! And as she put it: she didn’t just take it up a notch from the original 21-day fix but she took it up several notches.

Here’s the deal:

*The workouts are still 30 minutes

*You get 7 new workouts that will hit your body TOP to BOTTOM, literally

*You still use the portion controlled eating guide

but…

*The workouts are more intense, incorporating weights in all of them

*The nutrition guide is slimmed down a bit focusing on the foods that will really maximize your results and includes Autumn’s personal 21 Day Countdown to Competition menu plan. Its time to nail that nutrition!

In the end – this program is for those who want to get SHREDDED!
