I decided to take it back to the basics…back to the program that changed my life, that got me hooked on a healthy, fit and balanced life!!!
—–>That helped me learn that dedicating 30 minutes to exercise daily will improve more than just your waistline.
—–>That helped me learn about portions and what types of food choices would FUEL my body and not only get me the results in terms of numbers but maximize the way I feel on the inside too!
I’ve been a bit lax and a bit too comfortable and slowly I’ve been getting away from my normal 80/20 maintenance rule and its been more like 70/30 or even 60/40 on the weekends I am feeling and seeing the side effects!
So…Today not only marks day 1 for my challengers but also for myself – to recommit – and together we will be COUNTING DOWN TO SUMMER with the 21-day fix.
I got too caught up in my role as a coach that I forgot to be a challenger too!
So here it goes:
Before pictures are taken, meal plan is set, and I’m heading to the grocery store today!
You’ll see I tend to eat the same types of foods throughout the week…it makes it easier to plan, easier to prepare and easier to adjust when I’m away from home! We are busy busy busy as I’m sure most of you are too…so what I’ve learned is to stay on track you have to be prepared! I will plan to make my Mancakes the night before so they’re ready to go as I head to the park etc with my kiddos.. I also planned for an easy to pack apple and almond afternoon snack! No excuses…Summer is on the way!!!
Have you been thinking about doing the 21-day fix or simply doing SOMETHING to get back into the swing of things???
This is your time!!! Beachbody released the June promotions and both the 21-Day Fix and the 21-Day Fix Extreme are the challenge pack promotions this month available with Shakeology or with Shakeology and a 3-Day refresh!
My next accountability group kicks off June 15th – fill out the application and JOIN US!
Looking for 10 people for my Summer Treats CHALLENGE ☕
So…moment-of-truth:
How many of you treat yourself to a DQ Blizzard or Fro-Yo with the kiddos or grab an iced coffee on the way to work – a few times a week?
(Or ehm…ehm… almost every single day)?! ☝
So, that used to be us. No joke – I remember the summer I had my precious little princecess we were at DQ at least 4x a week. What can I say – WE LOVE ICE CREAM!!!! And I used that whole “I’m breastfeeding so I can eat anything I put my eyes on” excuse – oh those were the days!
However, the cost 💲💲💲 (AND calories) add up….and pretty quickly 😯And while I still enjoy our occasional treats – they are no longer daily! But that’s because I’ve started enjoying my own frozen chocolatey goodness – EVERY SINGLE DAY of the year and well, there’s no complaints in our house!
So, I’m looking for 10 people who would like to try to replace their SUMMER TREATS with Shakeology for one month to see the difference 30 days would make. (financially and physically….and emotionally 👈)
So who is up to try this for 30 days??? 😁
And if for some absolutely crazy insane reason you aren’t satisfied with your Shakeology, we have a 30 day guarantee and you can get your money back 👊 💪Nothing to lose, yet A LOT to gain!!!!
Email me at maeganblinka@gmail.com with the subject line SUMMER TREAT CHALLENGE with any questions or simply fill out the application below!
Summer is just around the corner and June 21st will be here before you know it!!!
But I get it…Memorial Day comes first…and MAYBE you want to kick back and relax, MAYBE you want to enjoy a guilt free beverage or two….or even three…or you want to indulge in a slice of pie or a GIANT cookie…I get it. I totally understand.
But…whether you’re planning to stay on track through the holiday weekend or whether you’re going to just live it up…when the weekend is over and Tuesday morning comes the fun will be over and I will be starting a new accountability group and I am INVITING –>YOU
We will be COUNTING DOWN to the first day of summer with the proven effective, and my personal favorite – the 21-day fix!

When I first became a Beachbody coach I kind of kept it quiet (I know, I know seems crazy now… ) but seriously…I worried about what others would think of me. All I wanted to be was a SAHM and I had that! So even after I started to think of Coaching as a “job” when people asked me if I worked I responded “no, not really” and never brought it up!! It took me MONTHS before I would say with CONFIDENCE—> “I am a Beachbody Coach!”
Why??? Well…there were a few reasons…
***What would my former co-workers think?! I left the Audit world and set my CPA license aside to be a SAHM-my dream come true-and while that seemed “acceptable” now I’m an online health and fitness coach creating a business through social media helping others reach their own health and fitness goals and begin to live their life by design…say what?! Seems too good to be true…but here’s the thing…ITS NOT!!!
***What would my friends think?!?! I don’t want them to feel like “I’m selling” them something…but at the same time this has been such an incredible blessing in my life and I want them to have the same opportunity. I want EVERYONE to feel the way I do and be happy, healthy and CONFIDENT. But how do I do that without being pushy?! Maybe I should just say nothing…and hope they come to me if they want to?!?!
***What would my family think?! Would they see the full potential or would they see this as me “playing on Facebook”?? Would they support this new time commitment in my life?! How will I still balance it all??? Can I balance it all? Maybe I’ll just pretend this is something I do on the side
And the list goes on…
Truth is I was too worried about these “what ifs” that I didn’t SHARE this incredible OPPORTUNITY and BLESSING that has had a profound impact on my life and my family’s life and looking back all I can say is WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!
This little side “thing” that started as a hobby and then something for a little side income is now a full fledged BUSINESS!!
I am my own GIRLBOSS
I work when I want from where I want and all I need is a little wi-fi
I still get to spend my days with my KIDDOS
I am surrounded by the most positive uplifting and inspirational people
I make AS MUCH money NOW as I did working 60+ hours in the public accounting world without the stress, commute, and much dreaded “busy season”
And last but not least, I am held accountable to my own goals, I am in the best shape of my life and it has impacted my ENTIRE FAMILY for the better!!!
What the heck took me so long?! To think…ONE DECISION I made to join a challenge group last February has tricked down and impacted HUNDREDS of other people. ONE DECISION to get healthier for myself and my family.
I want YOU ALL to know – You can do this too! If I can build a business working 30 minutes a day, an hour a day, 2 hours a day all around the sleepless nights and schedule of an demanding infant and an on-the-go toddler…you can too!
As your coach I am here to help you from Day 1! We will work together – I will share exactly what I have done to get where I am and how you can duplicate that for your own success! There is no need to recreate the wheel!!
WHY NOT? That’s what I kept asking myself…WHY NOT ME?!
If you are at all curious about this whole Beachbody Coaching world, or how I got to where I am in just a year, then fill out the form below and let’s chat!
This has opened up so many doors for me and I fee compelled to pay it forward!!!
A portion of those who attended Pittsburgh’s Super Saturday
For the 500+ of you who were able to make it down to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh on Saturday April 25th you know what an AMAZING day we had!
Time with my team, time with my friends, tears of joy, loads of celebration, updates on the newest program (CIZE!!!!) and supplement line to hit the market, a 50/50 drawing, raffle baskets, a kick-booty LIVE MASH UP with Kam, oh, and we raised OOODLES of money for LLS and to support Katy Ursta in her Pittsburgh Woman of the Year Campaign. It was truly an EPIC day!
But…for the millions of you who missed it – or – couldn’t make it to the burgh, let me share some details:
So you may be thinking…what is this whole SUPER SATURDAY business???
Super Saturday is a quarterly event for Beachbody Coaches to get together, help motivate one another, share some great tips and best practices and gear up for what’s to come!!! It really builds on the motivation from the last event (aka-CANCUN SUCCESS CLUB trip) and serves as a chance to get together in person and catch the latest and greatest announcements and new releases from Corporate!!!
There is a Market Council in Pittsburgh (which I am super blessed to be a part of) that meets during the quarter to plan it all out. The easy part is the highlight video from Corporate…but the rest of the day is up to US! And we took things on a different route this time around!!!
Locally we have all been sweating for something bigger!!! A fellow coach on our team won an incredible battle with Stage 4 Lymphoma last year and through her struggles, remained positive, full of hope and truly inspired ALL those around her. She has been nominated for the Pittsburgh Woman of the Year and in support of her campaign, we centered our focus around raising funds for the LLS. And boy did we ever meet that goal!
We did a few of the “typical” Super Saturday things. We welcomed everyone, we shared a bit about what the proceeds were going to be used for, we recognized the audience and where they are in their business (led by yours truly on the big stage – Eeek!) we got to hear from 2 amazing people with their stories and transformations with Beachbody, we watched the Corporate video…then we got down to some business!!!
We wanted people to gain VALUE from this day and since we are fortunate to have several Elite Coaches on the Market Council and in the Pittsburgh area, not to mention 2 of the top 10 coaches from 2014, including the #1 Coach, Melanie Mitro, we held a brief training session followed by a Q&A…where people could submit questions prior to the event and hear from some of the best of the best. I mean seriously – it doesn’t get much better than that!!! We jam packed those 3 hours but I can honestly tell you I left that room – ready to DO MORE!!! Just do it 🙂
We wrapped up the event with a little LIVE Mash up led by Kam which included P90X Live, Insanity LIVE, PiYO LIVE, and a taste of the new CIZE…um, I’ll be needed some coordination tips by the time this is released in July!!!
Words cannot explain how amazing it was to be at this event and reflect on what has changed in my life as a result of joining Beachbody just one year ago!!! Never would I have thought I’d be up on stage, never would I have thought I would have MY OWN team members travel to make the trip or just be a part of something so big and so powerful…but I AM, and I am forever grateful! I cannot stress it enough – if at all possible – get to these live events!!! Endless motivation & inspiration!!!
One decision I made when I left the event was to SHARE this opportunity with as many people as possible! I truly believe anyone can ROCK this business if they have the desire to try and willingness to learn!
SAVE THE DATE: Our next event will be held on or around July 25th – additional details TBD – but we would love to see you there! You can email me @ maeganblinka@gmail.com if you’d like to be on my mailing list!!!
If you have been considering coaching OR if you want to simply ask me some questions OR if you know you are now ready TO TAKE THAT LEAP and join my growing team, then fill out the application below. I am looking for positive, motivated, and driven people who aren’t afraid of a challenge and who love being part of a TEAM – a FAMILY!!!
I’ve been home from Cancun for 4 days now and I am finally feeling like I am getting back to my routine.
The theme in my mind the past few weeks has really been DREAM! I feel like I am living a DREAM in a DREAM world but in reality this is my life! Perfect? Not even close…but fabulous in deed and I know I am exactly where I need to be!
Its just still a bit surreal to me how I even got to where I am today, how a year ago I was just hanging out with my kiddos on a daily basis, just making ends meet each month and going with the basics and while happy, I wanted more. I now know I was meant for something greater!!! Today, I’m living a much more fulfilling life, still home with my kiddos but was able to spend 5 days at an all-inclusive trip in Cancun Mexico which was EARNED simply by helping other people get healthier and helping other people chase their dreams too!
Ok – maybe “simply” is a bit of an understatement, but honestly – this “job” as a Beachbody Coach has filled my life with more blessings than I could have ever imagined and I am excited to share more about my trip!!!
After some back and forth about whether or not to take our kiddos with us on we decided Mexico wasn’t the best place for an almost 2 year old and almost 4 year old – so we switched gears and made it a Mommy and daddy only trip!!! Our first solo getaway since our Honeymoon and let me say – we enjoyed every minute of it!!!
My husband has been my BIGGEST supporter since Day 1 and I really wanted to thank him for the sacrifices he makes so that I can invest time in my challengers, my coaches and my growing team! This trip was just about him as much as it was for me!!!
Don’t get me wrong – we still enjoyed the time with our friends and team mates at the pool…
The parties were amazing
We worked out with the trainers
We took fun goofy team pictures
We enjoyed Shakeology galore
And I even managed to snag a morning run in beachside and a selfie with Autumn Calabrese, miss 21-day fix herself
I also think Kyle got pretty good with the selfie action!!!
But even with all the parties and fun it was the reason behind it all…the reason I have had the success I had is because people have put their trust in me as their COACH – to help them, guide them and teach them ways to eat cleaner, exercise regularly, stick to a program and be accountable, especially when life throws those curve balls your way!!! I never realized the potential of this “business” when I first signed up as a coach “in hopes to make enough money to cover my monthly Shakoelogy” but I am forever grateful that I made the decision, took the leap, and made this a true BUSINESS that is allowing me financial freedom, travel and simply being surrounded by some of the most uplifting positive people I know!
So people keep asking me…HOW did you earn this trip? and CAN I earn a TRIP like this TOO???
How? I briefly mentioned it above – but in a nut shell…HELPING OTHERS! Helping 3-5 people each month get started on their health and fitness journey! Helping them pick a workout program that is going to help them get results and reach THEIR goals and helping others make changes in their nutrition…. to learn to FUEL their bodies with the proper foods and feel their absolute best…can earn you Success Club points. Doing this consistently – each month – all year – will EARN you the trip! Easy? NO! Worth it? ABSOLUTELY!!!!
And YES!!! You can earn this too!!! I was a brand new coach this time last year. I watched my coach and the other coaches go on the 2014 Success Club trip and thought to myself…wow – I would love to be able to do this – what an opportunity! And through hard work, pushing my fears of rejection aside and sticking with a never give up attitude I was able to get off the waitlist and earn the trip not only for myself but for me and my husband!!!
Will you be joining me next year????
While on this trip, I started and finished the book GIRLBOSS which was amazing by the way, and I then started a new book “You’re made for a God-Sized Dream” by Holley Gerth – and let me just say – this book is well worth your time! It will open doors and open your eyes to things you never saw before! Follow your dreams! You are made for big things – big dreams will come true if you’re willing to pursue them!!!
I am running a sneak peak into Coaching group that will share tidbits of the Coaching Opportunity and I want to open it up to YOU! Sit, listen and see if this is an opportunity you’re ready to take advantage of!!! My May Coach apprenticeship will begin May 4th and I will mentor you and help you learn everything you need to do and apply it to your own business!!!
I put it on my steel cut oats for some flavor, its the key to my Fruity MANCAKES and I love it in my morning shakeology to spice things up! Its one of those “free foods” and I keep finding ways to add it in! But my favorite taste of cinnamon easily has to be cinnamon roasted almonds!!!
Yeah, yeah, I know, not the cleanest thing out there but my oh my do I love them!!! We visited the Home Show in Pittsburgh last month and sampled some of those roasted almonds, pecans and cashews and I’ve been thinking of them ever since.
I know I’ll be able to snag them at the Buccos home opener…but I couldn’t wait for Monday! Aubrie was crafting during the little guy’s afternoon nap so I decided to whip these together!
I found some healthier recipes out there but I was going for taste and these hit the spot!!!
WHAT YOU NEED:
I egg white
1 tsp water
2.5 cups whole almonds
2.5 TBS sugar
2.5 TBS brown sugar
1.5 TBS cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
parchment paper
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
Whip the egg white and water until bubbly in a medium bowl.
Add the almonds and stir until well coated.
Add the sugar, salt and cinnamon together in a separate bowl, then add to the coated almonds and stir until evenly coated (I added a lid to the mixing bowl and shook it up!)
Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet, covered with parchment paper.
Roast for 1-1.5 hours, stirring every15/20 minutes.
Allow to cool and store in air tight container
NOTE: You will want to eat all of these…at once. I recommend portioning them into baggies or small containers to avoid the temptation. They’re DELISH!!!!
Happy April! I can not believe it is April already can you!? This month is packed full of fun and exciting things on my end…we’ve got Easter celebrations, the Buccos home opener and a little getaway with the hubs and my Beachbody Fam to Cancun for an all-expenses paid fun-filled vacation!
Life has been busy – but honestly – who isn’t “busy”?! This warmer weather is finally taking us outdoors and my kiddos are soaking up every possible minute!!! No complaints here!!! And with Spring in full swing summer is just around the corner!!! Let the countdown begin!!!

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 REFRESHwhen 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!
To learn more about the 3 Day Refresh and see my personal resultsCLICK HERE!
* This promotion will ONLY last until March 31st!
And while I feel like an infomercial…I have to say…THERE’S MORE…

I am usually ALL ABOUT healthy, clean eating…even with my sweet treats! However when my one and only sister and first time mama-to-be asks me to whip up my old time specialties for her baby shower weekend, naturally I obliged!
Gluten free has to count for something right?!
WHAT YOU NEED:
1/2 cup margarine
2 cups All natural Peanut Butter
4 cups of sugar (i know I know – WOWZERS!)
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
6 cups old fashioned rolled oats
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
In a large saucepan, combine margarine, milk, sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Bring to a “rolling boil” – now this is the biggest part – a rolling boil means that there are large bubbles that do not go away when stirred.
Boil for 20-30 seconds (I usually set a timer. If you boil too long they will be dry but if you don’t do it long enough they won’t set up!)
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, stir in peanut butter until smooth.
Add oats and quickly drop onto waxed paper. I have found a pampered chef cookie scooper is the fastest and easiest way to do this but a spoon will also work!
TIP: These cookies don’t actually “freeze” solid. I usually keep them in the freezer and its two fold. 1) They kind of taste fudge-like and 2) It keeps me from staring at them on the counter and inhaling an entire batch in one day!!!
You’ll see I tend to eat the same types of foods throughout the week…it makes it easier to plan, easier to prepare and easier to adjust when I’m away from home! We are busy busy busy as I’m sure most of you are too…so what I’ve learned is to stay on track you have to be prepared! I will plan to make my Mancakes the night before so they’re ready to go as I head to the park etc with my kiddos.. I also planned for an easy to pack apple and almond afternoon snack! No excuses…Summer is on the way!!!
ho would like to try to replace their SUMMER TREATS with
