Week 2 of Hammer & Chisel

December 14, 2015December 14, 20152 Comments

It has arrived!!!

Ok wait – so I JUST got the package YET – I’m in week 2?! Heck yes!

I’ve actually been doing the H&C workouts through the on demand feature of the Team Beachbody Premium Club membership. Basically its like netflix for the fitness world and while I had everything I needed to do the program – there’s just something to be said about flipping the pages of the nutrition guide and hanging that 60 day calendar on the basement walls!!!
Hammer and Chisel week 2 whats in the package
So what came in the box?!?!

I opted for the The Masters Hammer and Chisel Deluxe DVD Package:

12 workouts on 6 DVDs: HAMMER PLYOMETRICS, ISO SPEED HAMME, TOTAL BODY HAMMER,MAX HAMMER STRENGTH, HAMMER POWER, HAMMER CONDITIONING, CHISEL BALANCE, ISO STRENGTH CHISEL, CHISEL ENDURANCE, CHISEL CARDIO, CHISEL AGILITY, TOTAL BODY CHISEL
A SET OF 7 PORTION-CONTROL CONTAINERS & SHAKER CUP
PROGRAM AND NUTRITION GUIDE
QUICK-START GUIDE
60-DAY WORKOUT CALENDAR
PLUS, 3 FREE BONUS GIFTS: 10 MIN AB HAMMER WORKOUT, 10 MIN AB CHISEL WORKOUT, 24/7 ONLINE SUPPORT
4 ADVANCED TOTAL-BODY WORKOUTS: HAMMER BUILD UP, POWER CHISEL, 15 MIN LEG HAMMER, 15 MIN GLUTE CHISEL
AN EXTRA SET OF 7 PORTION-CONTROL CONTAINERS*
8-LB. MEDICINE BALL

We did already have containers and shaker cups and a medicine ball but since my husband and I are doing this TOGETHER – we wanted to make sure we had enough of EVERYTHING!

You’ll see from my meal plan above – I am adding in: Energize (pre workout), Energize (post workout) and Recharge (overnight) from the Team Beachbody Performance Line. This is an intense program and I am looking to get max results and I know these will help me get there! I am not nearly as sore this week as I was in week 1 and far less than I anticipated – I know these vitamin packed supplements are helping on that road to recovery!!!

My hubs is also adding in the Hydrate during his workouts and creatine!

Note the difference in the meal plans – He falls into the second highest and I fall into the lowest – so how do we make it work? Plan it out!

These are literally printed and hanging in the pantry – we tag team the shopping, the chopping and the cooking. Don’t get me wrong…it takes TIME but its worth it.

Hammer & Chisel meal plan week of 12_14 KYLE EDITED

We both agree this program is hard but its fun and in the running to become our favorite one yet!

And while it is challenging and there are days we don’t want to wake up in the morning but we DO IT ANYWAY. We do it for ourselves – our health – and our family!

My mom even joined in for a 5:00am workout while visiting last week!

Age really is just a number!!

Resolutions into Results

December 13, 2015December 12, 20152 Comments

Is it the super great deal at the local gym?

Or maybe the 7-10 pounds you tacked on between Thanksgiving & Christmas?!

Or…. perhaps the classic “this is my year” attitude??

I’m sure there’s a million and one things that play into the reasons but the results have proven in a recent study that the TOP 3 new years resolution in America are to:

*EXERCISE MORE*

*LOSE WEIGHT*

*Improve DIET*

Forget saving for the future or spending more time with family – most people kick off a new year with a goal to somehow some way improve their overall well being!

Yet, LESS than 10% of those people are actually successful in achieving their resolutions!

Why?

They don’t have the tools!

They’re afraid of change – they fear failure – they don’t know HOW to get started AND continue!

But here’s the deal…if you make a few temporary changes the results will simply be that – temporary. You won’t truly acheive what you’re setting out to do unless you make a CHANGE!

A change in the way you think – act- believe and yes – a change in your LIFESTYLE!

So – what’s the deal?

For starters – its much easier said than done!

Making a lifestyle change – a HEALTHY lifestyle change isn’t always easy.

Some people will doubt you, some may not support you, some may even say negative things and you may fear your ability to stick to it long term or when not at home. You’re afraid you don’t have the time or the money – But these are all just excuses – if you have a plan – you can overcome every single one of them – and then some!

AND I CAN HELP YOU!

Committing to a healthy eating and a consistent exercise routine may be HARD. But so is living in a body that you’re unhappy with.

CHOOSE YOUR HARD.

Then take action.

I’ve started and stopped my fair share of “changes” but nearly 2 years ago I made one change that forever changed my life.

I joined a challenge group.

An online accountability group filled with other women who had similar struggles as I did – similar fears – and similar goals – TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE!

I picked up a 21 day fix challenge group, followed the advice of my COACH, and joined a group!

I pushed play – in my home – for 30 minutes a day. I checking to the group for accountability, I took the advice shared, I utilized the meal plans and recipes that were suggested and low and behold – I GOT RESULTS!

So I ask you all to take this as a personal INVITATION to make this your year.

Your time to shine and your time to FOLLOW THROUGH with your commitment – your commitment to BE HEALTHIER! TO BE THE BEST YOU!

I’m kicking off my RESOLUTIONS INTO RESULTS challenge group January 4th and I am looking for 10 people to join me!

Join us and we’ll do this TOGETHER!

Baked Mancakes

December 10, 2015December 18, 20153 Comments

Its no secret – I. Love. My. Mancakes.

Here’s the real deal – I actually love pancakes but I have a hard time putting anything into my body that has ZERO nutritional value! So I put a halt to the classic pancakes a while ago but I have found the best solution: Mancakes! They’re a gluten free combo of: Oats, egg whites, berries, banana and naturally flavored with some pure extracts and cinnamon!

They’re filing, no need for syrup, and my 2 year old insists on them DAILY – #mommywin!

Now: The only downside is – they take FOREVER to cook! Partially because when I make them I made a quadruple batch (which yields around 32-35 pancakes) and I don’t like to dirty more than one pan – but nonetheless – time is precious!

My husband and I both had these on our WEEK 1 HAMMER & CHISEL MEAL PLANS and I decided there was no way I could stand and flip that many cakes!

So I whipped up this little Mancake Berry Bake this week and it tasted like a blueberry muffin and I’m kind of thinking this is going to be my new thing!

The consistency is dense -like a cake/muffin but full of flavor! I’ve been enjoying these post-workout/Recovery shake for Meal #1 followed by my shakeology. This has been working these last four days to keep me energized and full after these intense Hammer & Chisel Workouts!!!

WHAT YOU NEED:

2 Cups of Oats

16 Egg whites (2 small cartons or one large)

1 Cup of strawberries (frozen are a-okay!)

1 Cup of blueberries (frozen are a-okay!)

1 banana

3 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp almond extract

Walnuts (optional)

Coconut oil

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (you’ll see some oats but that’s okay!!!) – Now in my first go at these I forgot to add my blueberries – so I sprinkled them throughout and baked – I feel like this gave them more of a “muffin” feel opposed to blending them all together! But my little guy prefers them blended smooth!!
Pour into 9×13 baking pan (I prefer the foil toss pans – easy in and easy out!!! Don’t forget to spritz with olive oil or coconut oil first!)
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Make sure you test the center so its cooked fully (note: using frozen fruit may prolong the baking time 10-15 minutes)
Break into 4 pieces and now you have 4 breakfasts ready to go!

Hot or cold – these things are AMAZING!

Container Equivalents:

Whether you’re following the 21-day fix or Hammer & Chisel or Insanity Max: 30 or CIZE – this recipe will fit your meal plan!!!

I have them planned out to give me: 1 Yellow, 1 Purple and 1/2 Red with each serving. The walnuts would be counted as a blue if used!

Why the 1/2 red? Because I am missing my post dinner sweet treat and what I found is that I can shake 1/2 a scoop of chocolate shakeology with some ice cold water to finish dinner and I no longer have that urge to much 🙂

If you’re looking for some new recipe ideas, or meal planning tips or maybe just some accountability to stay ON TRACK especially when times get tough – then join my next online Health & Fitness accountability group! My next group is now forming and I am looking for more women who would benefit from the support network and accountability of achieving their goals TOGETHER!

My 2 cents on the new Hammer & Chisel program

December 9, 2015December 10, 20151 Comment

People keep asking me about my thoughts on hammer & chisel and how it compares to other programs and all I can say is this is one of its own!

I had been hooked on the 21-day fix ever since its release back in February 2014 and I bounced around between various other programs but I found myself simply going through the motions without matching it with effort.

I needed a change – I needed a CHAlleNGE!

This program is challenging yet possible.

It makes me push myself every day but leaves me with the most amazing sense of accomplishment.

It’s a program my husband and I can do-together-with customized results driven by the nutrition plan.

Its very unique moves combine multiple muscle groups to get you RESULTS – faster.

Whether you’re:

Looking for a good challenge

a program you can do with your spouse

A way to stay active through these winter months without battling the gym scene and commute

Hammer & Chisel week 1 day 6 You just need to switch up your normal routine

This may be for you!

Don’t bet me wrong – these workouts aren’t easy – they make you push your limits but I promise you great things happen outside of your comfort zone!

Next challenge group is forming NOW!

You will get online, daily accountability, tips, motivation, ideas, MEAL PLANS (which I know you all love to create!!!), recipes and heck – even a chance to win $500 or at least some new gear!

Cash for Christmas

November 10, 2015November 10, 2015Leave a comment

Ok I need to get real, open, and honest for a minute – so please hear me out:

This past week I received a weekly paycheck equivalent to my PRIOR audit manager – semi-MONTHLY salary.

And it really just made me THINK…

It made me think of a lot of things, reflect, fill myself with gratitude and truly realize what a blessing it was the day I decided to take the road less traveled and become my own BOSS!

You see, through this whole thought process, I was reminded of the Christmas right after we became a family of four. Earlier that year we made the decision that I would leave my full time career to be a full time stay at home mom. And while hard to admit – I had a hard time finding the blessings…the combo of sleepless nights, little adult interaction and a shrinking savings left me STRESSED on a regular basis let alone the additional expenses of the holidays.

I wanted to do the things I used to do and give to those causes I used to give to but I couldn’t. We simply couldn’t. We kept the holidays small and I felt like I was going backwards in life.

Fast forward 2 years and 18 months into my business and I have been able to build more than a full time income working part time hours from my home – in the early morning hours before my kids woke up and late at night after they went to bed…and the consistency paid off, the results compounded and now I am living my life by DESIGN as a result of the work I have put it day after day and week after week and month after month!!!

Coaching is not all about the money for me, but I would be lying if I said it didn’t help ease the stresses and allow us to live the life we dream of. A life where I am able to help support my family while still raising my kiddos. I believe I have the best of both worlds and I want others to know and realize they can do this too!

I know sometimes its inevitable that you will need to get a part time job through the holidays but that doesn’t mean you have to leave your home!!

Yesterday I got an email from Kohls stating that they were now “hiring holiday help”

I walked into Target and saw the sign – NOW HIRING!

I read a stat that 1 in 5 people plan to get a 2nd job to afford the holidays and after polling 2,200 people, 45% of them said they would struggle to afford gifts this year.

While the Holidays are supposed to be one of the happiest times of the year I know first hand that they can cause a LOT of STRESS!!!

And I have decided that this year I want to help others benefit from this amazing opportunity that my family has been blessed with!

I am looking for 5 people who would like to earn some Cash For Christmas!

Mamas who –

*are driven

*want to inspire

*are coachable

*are READY to do more!!

There isn’t day that goes by that I don’t thank God for the opportunity I was given!

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!

The challenge pack provides the full program package in combo with a 30-day supply of Shakeology at an incredibly reduced price! Email me if you’d like to chat about what option would be best for you!

Crockpot & Clean Pot Roast

October 23, 2015October 22, 2015Leave a comment

—> How many of you are used to dumping a can of condensed cream of whatever soup onto a roast in the slow cooker?

—> Or maybe you do the can of coke so it is super tender and juicy?!

Don’t get me wrong – those taste great…amazing in fact…but they’re SO BAD FOR YOU! STOP!

Cooking a delicious, melt in your mouth roast is more about the cut of meat you choose rather than the stuff you put on top!

I only eat red meat in moderation…but if I’m going to do it, I”m going to make sure its worth it!

I recommend choosing fresh cut (I prefer a sirloin tip roast) and add flavor the NATURAL way! Yes I’m talking about some fresh cracked black pepper, a few gloves of garlic, a sliced onion, some himalayan sea salt and about 1/4 cup of water to make it STEAM!

You can add in whatever veggies your family likes – such as carrots, mushrooms and even some little red potatoes for a complete meal in one crockPOT. Easy prep, easy clean up and virtually NO effort on your part!!!

Cook it on LOW for about 8/9 hours and wahlaa! A delicious roast – without all the added “stuff” and just as delicious as grandma used to cook on Sundays!

Trust me – just try it for yourself to see!

If you are wanting to get more tips, healthy recipes, support and accountability to help you achieve your fitness goals, please fill out my application for a spot in my next 30 day clean eating and fitness challenge!!

This is where we work together DAILY and focus on the overall healthy lifestyle…. Exercise for 30 minutes a day (I will help you pick the fitness program of your choice), clean/balanced eating, and focus everyday at gaining confidence in yourself to reach your ultimate goals in every aspect of your life!!

What Kind of Bars can you have on the 21-day fix?

October 22, 2015February 18, 20163 Comments

I never used to be a procrastinator but I swear the older I get the more squirrelly I become!

During my race against the clock to pack for a 5-day trip to Texas for my family of four within a 2 hour a time frame I managed to do about 34,539 things that didn’t NEED done but I decided to do anyway all the while forgetting my apple and peppers in the fridge with the munchkins yogurts 😡

Luckily I keep these little gems in the diaper bag! I def don’t encourage “bars” on a daily basis but if you’re going to grab and go these are the THREE that I recommend…all ordered from Amazon Prime and delivered right to my door🙌

1. That’s IT Bar: These are my new found “can’t leave home without it” snack! I stumbled across these on my way home from SUMMIT in Nashville while waiting for my Green Tea at Starbucks. The name caught my eye and when I flipped it over I saw that the ingredients were simply fruit – THAT’S IT!

I snagged a few from Starbucks before I realized I could order through AMAZON and get them right to my door! The Apple and Strawberry is definitely my favorite (reminds me of a fruit roll up!!!) and the Apple and pear is a close second!

For my 21 Day Fix Friends – I count these as one purple – racking up 100 calories, 4 grams of dietary fiber and about 17 grams of natural sugars.

2. KIND BARS: I caught a Q&A from Autumn on this topic and ever since I have kept this stashed in my diaper bag! Kind bars are primarily nuts. Don’t get me wrong there are some wild and crazy varieties out there with a lot more in them but if you watch the labels you can get a pretty natural nut bar in the KIND variety! I also order these from Amazon or grab them when I head to SAMs on a stock up trip!

For my 21-Day Fix Friends – I count these as 1 BLUE and 1 tsp – coming in around 200 calories and 17g of (healthy) fats.

3. Quest Bars: I’d say these are the least “clean” of the 3 but also my favorite as I find them the most filing.

For my 21-Day Fix Friends – I count these as 1 red and 1 yellow…although I def. don’t recommend these when “strictly” following the fix as they do not have the equivalent nutritional value as a lean meat (red) or healthy grain (yellows) – would. They range 160-200 calories with about 8-12 g of fat yet virtually ZERO sugar!

Of course I ALWAYS keep a Shakeo packet always within reach….this is the most clean and natural way to squeeze in a snack on the run – especially when those unexpected hunger growls start! I prefer to make it blended but I’ll be honest…give me a shaker cup and some water and I’m good to go! Cures my cravings, fills my tummy and fuels my body for the day ahead!

Do you want to try Shakeology???

You can get your own 30 day supply HERE or even start with the FLAVOR SAMPLER PACK TO FIGURE WHAT WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE!

As always you can email me at maeganblinka@gmail.com with any questions or fill out the form below for more information on my upcoming Health and Fitness online accountability group! Whether you’re interested in the 21-day fix, Hammer & Chisel, PIYO or any of the other incredible home workout DVD programs we offer – I do believe there is one fit for YOU!

There’s POWER in numbers but YOU only have control of ONE.

Just think – WHY NOT ME?

October 19, 2015October 18, 2015Leave a comment

Now hiring WHY NOT YOU, SAHM career, WAHM career, what does it take to be a successful beachbody coach, how to get started as a beachbody coach, beachbody coach training, from a 21 day fix challenger to a successful coach, how the 21 day fix changed my life, now hiring goal setters go getters committed women who are coachable and have a willingness to learn, coach training academy , coach training opportunity, how to make money from home, fitness career from home, career options for fitness instructors and personal trainers

Ever just stop and think how different your life is NOW compared to what you THOUGHT it was going to look like??? To what you dreamed of, imagined, or predicted???

I went to college, got a degree in Finance and Accounting, got a great job at a Big 4 accounting firm and later earned my CPA. I thought I was going to have one of those high up jobs in a big city with a cute little office on the top floor.

Then when I became a mom, I really thought my dreams were coming true as I swapped my lunch meetings for playdates and officially earned the title – full time stay at home mom – my life was COMPLETE!!!!

But apparently God had and still does have different plans for me…

He brought Beachbody into my life at a time I needed it more than I realized. I forgot what it was like to do something FOR ME! And once I realized how much better of a mom, wife, friend, sister I was – when I took care of myself – I realized I needed to share this opportunity!

I never knew how amazing it would feel to HELP others – help them gain confidence with themselves, become healthier moms and lead by example. I was using skills I didn’t know I had and was learning things about myself I never knew existed. I was changing lives!!!

I was able to combine the skills I learned throughout my life while managing my staff and then managing my family to now manage my TEAM…. a team of other women with similar interests, similar dreams and a similar desire – TO DO MORE, INSPIRE OTHERS and HELP THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST!

And NOW – I get the opportunity to teach my roadmap to success to all of the coaches that join my team! Teachers, nurses, Fitness enthusiasts, Accountants, stay at home moms, and more! I get to teach people how to build a business – from home – that truly fits their lifestyle!
