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!

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.

Week 1: 22 MHC & 3 Day Refresh Results

March 28, 2016March 28, 20162 Comments

There comes a point when you JUST DO IT.

And that’s where I was last Sunday night.

A 3 day trip to Texas to visit family, 5 days on a cruise, and a weekend where I had no desire to grocery shop or meal plan or prep meant lots of take out, alcohol, gluten and dairy…all things my body is not used to and all things my body dislikes!!!

I decided to do the 3-DAY REFRESH to jumpstart me back into my kind of normalcy as I began my journey (again) on 22 Minute Hard Corps.

I started the same way I would expect my challengers to start: by documenting Day 1!!

Luckily I have two littles who typically jump at the chance to join mommy in whatever it is mommy is doing!

The before pics were taken, the meal plan set, and I went to work!

I have done the 3-Day Refresh several times now and to be honest…its pretty straightforward!

You day includes:

1 Shakeology
1 Fiber Sweep
Green Tea
2 Vanilla Refresh Drinks
a fruit, veggie and healthy fat along with the lunch shake
a veggie and healthy fat for an afternoon snack
And one of the veggie dinner options to go with the dinner refresh shake

The hard work is done – there’s a solid plan…you just have to stick to it!

I had daily accountability from my hubby with my workouts and my mother in law joined me in the refresh! I will admit – its a heck of a lot easier to stay true to that plan when there is someone else right there in the trenches with YOU!

I continued through my first week of 22 Minute Hard Corps without a problem.

The guide will tell you to do light to moderate activity but even with the higher intensity of 22 Minute Hard Corps – I was able to push through without any problems…but yes, I was in fact happy come Thursday morning when I got to add my carbs back into the mix!

But you know how the saying goes: Nothing worth having comes easy!

There were a few trying moments but I kept pulling up this picture taken the day before I started and it helped me realize…it was time to kiss the food baby goodbye – for good!

I even survived a trip to the zoo and passed on Dippin Dots…if that’s not motivation – I don’t know what is!!!

I ended up losing a total of 5 pounds and 3 inches around my waist but most of all that heavy, bloated feeling is GONE!!! And that was what I needed.

And here’s the kicker…even after the holiday weekend…I haven’t gained it back!!! Sure I indulged a little but that’s just it – it was A LITTLE! One bad meal won’t make you overweight and one fabulous salad won’t give you rock hard abs! Its consistency and progress over TIME.

I am ready to head into 22 Minute Hard Corps WEEK 2 with a plan, clear focus and determination to continue my RESULTS!

If you’re feeling a little sluggish after the Easter holiday or maybe you just need a jumpstart on your summer goals or maybe just a little shake up from a plateau – then join me in my April 4th Candy Detox!

This will also give you access into my next 21 day accountability group where you will transition to continue your results past the 3 day mark so you don’t go back to those old ways!

November – New Month – New Goals

November 1, 2015November 1, 2015Leave a comment

I hope you had a great Halloween weekend filled will a few treats and not too many tricks!!! I’ll admit – we had a great weekend but now its time to rid the house of all this JUNK and get my game face on.

My family is kicking off our 3rd annual SWITCH WITCH game – have you ever heard of it?

This is basically a way to help you – and your kiddos – toss the stash of Halloween candy built up from the trick or treating weekend! You can donate your candy or take it to work with you but the point is…you get it out of the house!

We have been talking about this with our kiddos for a few days an we will let them pick out a few favorites then the bowl goes on the fireplace before bedtime and a gift arrives in the morning. Its fun and while the event of going trick or treating was a blast for us all – they don’t need the candy and neither do I!!!

I don’t know about you – but candy just isn’t the same as it used to be! I will be the first to say I enjoyed a Reese Cup or two and a mini twix and oh my that take 5 bar was da’bomb! But as soon as I finish always find myself in that sugar high then CRASH!

Can you relate?

You get the rush but then you’re left with bloat and that sluggish feeling!

I am raising my hand for a little bit of all of the above which is why I am super excited for my first group of the month –

CANDY DETOX & Holiday Survival accountability group.

What can you expect?

Optional 3-day cleanse to get started -OR- end the challenge

Daily inspiration and motivation

Easy weeknight meal plan ideas

Healthy twists on holiday favorites

Travel tips

Dining Out Best practices

***BONUS***

For the first 5 to COMMIT by WEDNESDAY the 4th – I will toss in a 4 day Shakeology Sampler (both VEGAN & REGULAR AVAILABLE)

Why the GIVEAWA? To be honest – this little meal replacement has given me more than I could have ever imagined – more energy to play with my kids, a more regular digestive system helping me to toss my Chrons disease meds and overall a HEALTHIER life – and I want YOU to experience some of these same benefits!

But there will only be 5 samplers available so first come – first serve!!

In addition to the CANDY DETOX accountability group, I will also be kicking off a similar format post-Thanksgiving. This group will begin on November 30th (and I will kick off with a 3-day refresh) and is designed to help you gear up for that LITTLE BLACK DRESS Holiday season…you still have plenty of time to end the year STRONG and kick off 2016 as a more confident YOU! – MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW!!!

And of course we have a few PROMOTIONS that will help you get there:

I am so excited to share that the promotion for the 21-day fix and 21-day fix extreme challenge packs (both available as a kickstart with the 3-day refresh as well) have been EXTENDED in preparation for December’s release of Hammer & Chisel.

In addition – CIZE and the CIZE Kickstart are added in for more November savings!

Post-Easter Fix & reFRESH!

March 25, 2015March 25, 20151 Comment

Today marks 10 days out from Easter…the holiday of chocolate bunnies, sugary peeps, candy filled eggs, and temptations EVERYWHERE! I mean seriously – take a peak in the front door of Target…there is literally candy EVERYWHERE! And while its easy to think (and correct) that “one piece is A-Okay” that one piece tends to multiply and before you know it, you’re helping your kids look for their M&Ms that seem to have “disappeared”all of a sudden…trust me…I’ve been there!!!

But as Easter coincides with Spring we also know that Summer will then follow. As we sit 2 months out from Memorial Day I’ll admit I have SUMMER on my mind!!! I know I want to feel and look my best this summer and I hope you do to! So…how do we combat this holiday craziness?

Enter:

Post-Easter Fix & reFRESH:

It is still hard for me to explain how drastically different I FEEL when I am eating clean, fueling my body with Shakeology – EVERY DAY – and exercising regularly! Naturally the results follow but its so much more than that. I am happier and healthier. I am a better mom and I am a better wife. I am more patient and all around HAPPIER…and I want everyone to have the opportunity to live a healthier and more fulfilling life too!

This group will provide you with daily clean eating tips, motivation, recipes so you do not get bored, and SHAKEOLOGY, a meal you can use EVERY day that is easy and convenient like those the stuff you find at those tempting Golden Arches or the overpriced lattes, but truly the HEALTHIEST MEAL OF THE DAY!

So…WHY Shakeology?

It can help you:

Lose weight – especially if you replace a meal with Shakeology every day.
Reduce junk food cravings – drink it in the morning to enjoy this benefit throughout the day
Increase your energy and feel healthier.
Improve your digestion and regularity.

Hmmm…How????

Fiber and probiotics help you “get regular” so you eliminate toxins built up in your digestive system.
Proprietary blend of prebiotics and probiotics help create a healthy intestinal tract which aids digestion.
A healthier digestive system makes it easier to absorb key nutrients.
Digestive enzymes also help your body to increase the absorption of nutrients.

Long story short – Shakeology is NOT a weight loss shake, nor a protein shake… This is a HEALTH shake that is including your dense nutrition, health benefits, and includes your daily multi-vitamin!

Trust me…you can’t get this in anything else – plus it tastes like a dessert!!

Support…the “group” – what is it?

My Easter FIX clean eating and Shakeology challenge is just that! You will get 30 Days of support, motivation, tips, recipes, and be surrounded by a group of people who have the same or similar goes as you! I can’t promise that it will be easy but I can promise that if you stick with it, commit and keep pushing, you will get the results you’re looking for!

For an extra little boost, I am also giving a FREE 3 DAY REFRESH when you sign up with ME as YOUR coach and order your Shakeology in Home Direct (HD).
This simple easy to follow 3-day cleanse will help remove the toxins, bloating, and chemicals from your body and replace with it amino acids, enzymes, and more so you are starting FRESH!
