Beachbody Coaching Sneak Peak

March 20, 2015Leave a comment

Sitting here mid-March about to get breakfast ready for my family and thinking about how different today’s March morning is compared to years past…

For 6 years, my winter months were spent working…literally, all day, 7 days a week – weekdays – weekends! By the time March came I was so mentally exhausted, miserable from the way I had spent the several months prior and ready for a change, but I didn’t think I could make one! That was simply the way it was!
I remember when M-TH, 5:00 used to mean it was time to place the dinner order to prep for AT LEAST another 5 hours of work!

Auditing wasn’t exactly a glorious job but it was a good job. A great job in fact that allowed me to provide for my family. But…with the arrival of baby #2 I knew I couldn’t do it any longer.
2 years ago I endured my LAST “busy season”. I longed to be home with my family but at the same time we had established a lifestyle we were comfortable with. Leaving my career in auditing meant I would be living a DREAM come true as a Stay at Home Mom…where I was meant to be…with my babies…but it also meant financially, we were going to have to make some changes…changes we were all willing to make…but changes nonetheless!

Last February we had a medical scare with Colt that landed us two nights in Children’s hospital. Thankfully nothing serious came as a result but we did receive a hefty bill. I still remember my stomach turning as I was writing that check to cover what insurance didn’t. Beyond blessed to have our little boy back to health but after 10 months of no longer working we didn’t exactly have “extra money” laying around. The best thing that came of that scare…as I sat watching my sick little boy sleep I was scrolling Facebook and saw a post about the 21-day fix…I was intrigued, asked questions, and went for it….and well, the rest is history!

Within a few short weeks I was feeling amazing, my family was eating better, I had more energy than my crazy toddler and Kyle and I made a decision that I would sign up as a Beachboy Coach. Never expecting to turn it into a CAREER but rather hoping that I could offset the cost of our Shakeology that we knew was helping us lead a healthier life. I never imagined I would be able to even come close to replacing the income I used to make as an Audit Manager but as I sit here today I realized that these first 10 weeks of 2015 mirror the same income I was bringing home as a “part-time” Audit Manager working 60+ hours a week.

How did this even happen???

In a nut shell, its been CONSISTENCY, HARD WORK, DEDICATION, and simply SHARING what has worked for me and helping others do the same!

I’m not telling you this to brag in any way, shape or form…I am sharing this with you because I am BEYOND THANKFUL that someone else shared this opportunity with me…for if not, I do not know what my life would be like today!

I am looking for MOMPRENEURS and other driven, dedicated, passionate WOMEN who want to join my team! It starts with a DESIRE to join, AMBITION to keep going and a NEVER GIVE UP attitude!

If you have ever considered coaching or want a sneak peak into what it is that I do and what I have done to turn this PASSION for helping others into a career that has allowed me to do things I didn’t dream possible…then join my team for a Sneak Peak into Beachbody Coaching by filling out this form!!!

Melissa Brown Success Story

March 17, 2015Leave a comment

Check out these amazing results from my Challenger, and now fellow COACH, Melissa Brown!

Melissa joined my New Year, New You Health and Fitness Accountability group and didn’t nothing short of go ALL IN!!!

She truly is what I would refer to as the “perfect challenger”- now was she perfect with everything for 60 days straight?! Of course not… but she did do exactly what I would hope for with each of my challengers: she committed to the program, she committed to herself, she committed to drinking Shakeology daily and she committed to holding herself accountable by checking into our support group EVERY DAY!!!! And well-as you can see the results followed!!!

Here is what she had to say about her journey:

“I have lost 19 pounds; 12 of my pounds were lost doing T-25 for the first 30 days and 7 of my pounds were lost next with the 21 Day Fix. In these 60 days, I have learned about meal prep, balanced eating, making healthier choices for food on a daily basis, etc.. Yes, I do eat and I eat more than I did before I started my journey! Nutrition is 80% of the equation!! I absolutely give credit to my meal replacement that I drink for breakfast on my way to work (p.s. I love having one meal full of vitamins and nutrients that I do not have to plan for :)) I have done all of my exercising from the comfort of my home. It is part of my daily schedule and I am able to exercise in the AM, while my baby girl naps, after work (sometimes pressing play at 10:30 PM; no excuses) or my little girl even works out with me. I am amazed of what these 60 days has done for me and the strength that I have both physically and mentally. I have been able to realize this through the support of my coach and through the support of my 60 day accountability group. Do not EVER think you are alone or that it is NEVER possible for you to reach your fitness goals. I am proof that it is POSSIBLE!!!”

I am so proud to be able to share in Melissa’s journey and all those who joined my challenge group! There really is POWER IN NUMBERS – Could you be next?

Shamrock Shakeology

March 17, 2015March 17, 2015Leave a comment

With Shakeology’s 6th birthday yesterday combined with St. Patty’s day today – I had to share this amazing recipe we made last night to celebrate the combination of the two (see comments below!)

I’m sure you’ve all heard of Shamrock shakes – well here is Shamrock Shakeology! But first, just in case you’re not familiar or haven’t had the opportunity to fuel up with this incredible superfood, here’s a few fun facts about Shakeology:

#1 You can switch your flavor each month (which is perfect if you are like me and like a little variety, since we have so many flavors (including vegan) to accommodate everyone’s taste buds AND allergies to dairy, soy, gluten!

#2 You get your money back if you aren’t satisfied within 30 days (yup, seriously, enjoy for 30 days but if you’re not happy or it doesn’t meet your expectations – RETURN it – its RISK FREE!) So why not toss those skeptical thoughts aside!!!

#3 You aren’t adding to your budget but rather REPLACING what you already spend on 30 meals each month (Trust me – I didn’t think I could afford it either at first but….now we save money by drinking it!)
…oh and my preferred customers get it for 25% off

#4 It has helped ME get off my Chron’s disease medicine (after 7 long years of daily use) and it even replaced my prenatal vitamin when I was nursing (approved by my doctor!) – which saved me even MORE money each month!

#5 Promotes weight loss, Improves Digestion, Curbs Cravings, takes about 2 minutes to blend as pretty much 99.9% of us are constantly busy and “never have time”!

So, for the healthiest meal of the day, which has not only helped myself reach new goals but also my family, friends, and new friends, and to be able to call this part of my “business”, I love being able to share what it’s done for me! I can’t imagine how different my life would be if I hadn’t “give it a TRY” and I accredit my continued success to Shakeology – because of how it has made me FEEL and the energy it provides me!!!

Turn that huge indulgence into the healthiest meal of YOUR day!

WHAT YOU NEED:

8 oz Water
2-4 oz almond milk
tiniest splash of mint extract
1 TBS PB2
1 TBS vanilla sugar free instant pudding mix
1 scoop/packet of Greenberry Shakeology
LOTS of ice

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Blend and enjoy!!!

THERE’S POWER IN NUMBERS

Egg Scramble

March 14, 2015March 13, 2015Leave a comment

So who can relate:

Its Friday night, you want something quick and easy (and preferably healthy!!!) for dinner but you really don’t want to cave into ordering pizza….you have 5 minutes…options are???

-OR-

Its Saturday afternoon, you haven’t made it to the grocery store for the week yet but you have 5 minutes to throw lunch together – what do you turn to?

Enter—->Egg Scramble

This has become one of our go to meals! It is our meat less Friday dinner during lent, as well as veggie filled breakfast on the weekends and/or a quick, healthy, filling lunch! You can add as much or as little as you’d like and really you can’t go wrong!

WHAT DO YOU NEED:

(per person)

2 eggs or 1 egg with 4 egg whites or 8 egg whites (1 red)
1 cup chopped spinach (1 green)
1/2 cup diced peppers, onions, asparagus (1/2 green)
1/4 avocado (1 blue)
2 tbs all natural fresh salsa (1/4 purple)
1/4-1/2 cup shredded chicken or ground turkey (red – varies depending on the amount)
1 slice toast (eziekiel is my favorite, my hubby opts for GF Udis but its also relish in a burrito! – 1 yellow)
slat and pepper to taste

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Spray skillet with olive oil or nonstick spray and heat to medium/high
Sautee spinach, peppers, onions, asparagus and any other veggies you have on hand for 1-2 minutes.
Add egg

Cook for 3-4 minutes until cooked thoroughly

Serve alone or on top a slice of toast along with your favorite toppings!

There are so many options with this meal. Like I said above – its perfect for Meat-free Fridays and you can make as much or as little as you need! We often call it our “kitchen sink” meal where whatever we have left in the fridge at the end of the week gets tossed in the pan and mixed up! And if you happen to have any leftovers…they do reheat up well!

Baked and Broiled Salmon

March 9, 20152 Comments

I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I rarely think my meals qualify as “restaurant quality” however this salmon, as simple as it was, was just that!!!

It only took a handful of ingredients, it was clean, gluten free, 21-day fix and 21-day fix extreme approved and literally mouth watering!!!

WHAT DO YOU NEED:

2-3lbs salmon (fresh or frozen is fine, I like to make a lot so I can have throughout the week!)
2 lemons, 1 sliced, 1 to juice
1TBS olive oil
2-3 gloves minced garlic
Himalayan Salt and black pepper (to taste)

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Preheat oven to 375
Line pan with foil
Lay salmon on top of foil, drizzle with oil and/or spritz entire filet with oil
Rub the minced garlic into the salmon
Sprinkle salt
Squeeze lemon juice over salmon filets
Lay sliced lemon on top
Bake for 15-20 minutes then finish off with 3-5 minutes under the broiler

Now don’t forget the last step…the crispness of the broiler was where it all came together!!!

We served this with sweet potatoes sprinkled with cinnamon and broccoli and I truly felt like I was sitting in a restaurant!!!

21 Day Fix Extreme Results

March 6, 2015Leave a comment

Last Sunday I wrapped up my first round of the 21-day fix extreme. To be honest, at first, I felt like I totally failed. My weight remained the SAME. Unchanged in 3 weeks with what is truly one of the most amazing programs combining effective 30 minute at-home workouts with easy to follow nutrition. You get a little bit of everything but I didn’t get the “extreme” results that I’ve seen others share…

So how did this happen…I didn’t follow the nutrition! I started this program looking for ABS and although I still believe this program will help me get there…it didn’t happen, not this time. I let life events get in my way…stress, personal health issues, social get togethers…my WHY wasn’t big enough. But at the same time – I’m still HAPPY with my results even though I didn’t meet my initial goal of killer ABS.

^I did lose an inch off my waist, belly button and hips.
^I learned that cod and tilapia at 10am can become a meal and cold veggies travel well smile emoticon
^I learned that one pound of cinnamon roasted almonds in 3 days will make you feel extremely bloated!
^And coconut oil is a staple in my daily life!

So while I’d love to show you an amazing 21 day transformation – I can’t…I don’t have one! But what I can share is something else this program helped me realize. As I scanned through my before and after pictures and my stats I realized something that I didn’t realize at the beginning. I actually started this program 2 pounds HEAVIER than I was a year ago when I wasn’t even working out or eating clean – say WHAT?!?!

On the left: Last February, the day before I started my very first challenge group and started a journey that would leave a lasting impact on my life, and all those around me! Happy – YES! Healthy? Not even close!

On the right: This February the day before I started the 21-Day Fix EXTREME…a year into my own journey as a Beachbody coach working continuously to be the best version of me. Happy? Heck yes! Healthy? You better believe it!!!!

Maegan Blinka, 21 day fix results, 21 day fix extreme results, before pictures, does the 21 day fix extreme work, food is fuel, Results with the 21-day fix extreme Reflecting on these pictures helped me realize…weight is JUST A NUMBER!!! So of course I had to do an “official” comparison. So below you will see my before pictures for both the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme and the bottom pictures show what each program did for me…in just 21 days! I am focusing today on measuring my success on what I can do:

**I can carry the 70+pounds of my kiddos on my hips, up and down the stairs with ease…
**I can give my kiddos horsey rides all throughout the house…their giggles alone are enough to help me stay HEALTHY
**I’ve learned to BALANCE..we bake cookies and we bake sweet potatoes…we go out for pizza and we go out for delicious salads
**We exercise, we have fun, and we live our life to its fullest and I help others do the same!!!

There’s always a story, there’s always more than meets the eye – DIG DEEP and find what you’re living for – what makes your light SHINE BRIGHT.

For me…its my health and happiness!

I know I’m not perfect but its progress…and I’m going to be progressing forward!!! If you want to join me on this journey comment below or send me a PM…like I always say – THERE’S POWER IN NUMBERS!!!

I still think I can get the results I’m dreaming of and I’m going to give it another go! We have lots of fun and some family travels coming up and we also have our ALL EXPENSE PAID vacation to Cancun with my Beachbody family in April…so I will be doing this again and I will get those CUT ABS!!!

If you are interested in this program, the original 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!

LLS Awareness and Benefit for Pittsburgh Woman of the Year Campaign

March 4, 2015March 4, 20151 Comment

Its time to dig deep and sweat for something BIGGER!!!!

LLS Awareness and Support for Katy Ursta, Pittsburgh Woman of the Year Nominee

I am so excited to share our team’s goal and focus for the month of March…

A year ago, my fellow coach, Katy Ursta, was diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma but this wife and mama of 2 wasn’t going to let it ruin her life or even slow her down!!! Upon diagnosis, she immeditately began 12 tough rounds of chemotherapy, every other week, for 24 weeks. As a health and fitness coach, she struggled with the concept of being sick, asking herself “who would want me as a coach”? What she never realized is what an inspiration her story would be for those around her!

Although sick, and tired, and unsure of what would lie ahead, she didn’t stop…she was consistent!!! Before and after every chemo treatment – she would SWEAT! Sweat for something bigger, sweat for those who couldn’t sweat and simply, SWEAT IT OUT! It wasn’t easy and not always pretty but she did it for herself and those affected by the horrible “cancer”. Throughout this tough time she learned that sometimes you just have to find the good every situation and she truly did TURN HER MESS INTO HER MESSAGE which in turned began to inspire people all over the country and I am beyond happy to share that she is officially in remission and CANCER FREE!!!

Her story is real, its inspirational, its unique and it has helped to take her on a new journey as she has been NOMINATED AS PITTSBURGH WOMAN OF THE YEAR!!!

Our goal is to help Katy her reach her goals by giving as much as possible to help other families battling and struggling through this expensive and terrible illness through LLS (Leukemia Lymphoma Society), support those who we know personally that fought these blood cancers, and also support Katy during her campaign for Pittsburgh Woman of the Year!

Please click here to see Katy’s story: http://www.onefitfighter.com/p/mystory.html

-OR-

Maybe…you’re like me and picked up a new laptop only to find out that it doesn’t include a DVD player making it a bit of a challenge to get in a quick Cardio Fix or T25 Total Body Circuit when you can’t play the DVD player!

-OR-

You are already a big fan of Beachbody workouts but you struggle to ever really complete a full program because you get tired of the same old same old and want to switch things up with a different trainer and different program.

-OR-

Maybe you have met your goals and you’re looking to maintain your results and try something new. You can test out a variety of programs, keep your body guessing and the results coming!

ENTER: BEACHBODY ON DEMAND!!!

Quinoa Turkey Meatloaf

February 26, 20156 Comments

Turkey Meatloaf – 21 Day Fix Extreme Style, aka, Gluten Free!

This turkey meatloaf recipe was a hit in my house!!! We have been primarily gluten free for the past 6 months now and while neither my husband or I have a “gluten allergy” we both tend to just feel better when we avoid it! Luckily our clean eating lifestyle has made the adjustment pretty easy and why I absolutely loved this Turkey Meatloaf recipe that uses Quinoa opposed to the traditional breadcrumbs! Its simple, clean, and if you’re like me…you can easily double this up and make an extra one to freeze or enjoy throughout the week as a second dinner and/or lunches!

Turkey Meatloaf

Makes 8 servings, 1/8 meatloaf each

21 Day Fix & Fix Extreme Container equivalents: 1/2 Purple, 1 red, 1/2 yellow

WHAT YOU NEED:

2 lbs raw 93% lean ground turkey
1 cup all natural-mild salsa
1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
2 large eggs, lighly beaten
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp sea salt or Himalayan salt (Mineralize)
Ground black pepper (to taste, optional)
Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C)

2. Combine turkey, salsa, quinoa, eggs, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; mix well by hand or with rubber spatula (I used that little gadget from Pampered Chef and it worked FABULOUS – I am not a mix by hand type of girl and this did the trick!!!)

3. Shape mixture into shape of a loaf and place on engrossed 13×9 inch baking pan (I actually used a pan that has the grates so the grease will drip down off)

4. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until center is no longer pink and meat is cooked through.

5. Let stand 10 minutes before serving

6. Garnish with parsley

TIP: Cut cooked meatloaf into single servings and freeze in single resealable plastic bags for future meals!

I really liked the consistency of the meatloaf but next time I will likely add in some chopped peppers and spinach just because I like to sneak in those greens any chance I get!

Brownie Batter

February 23, 20151 Comment

Ok I know this is going to sound too simple and too good to be true…but hear me out…

I really wanted a chocolate treat and I came across this in the challenge group I’m participating in along with 2000+ other Beachbody coaches and the creator of the 21-day fix/21-day fix extreme, Autumn Calabrese. They’ve been saying “no cheats” but luckily that doesn’t count Shakeology!!! YUMMMMMM!

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 Scoop Chocolate Shakeology
1 tsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp all natural Peanut Butter/PB2 (optional)
2-3 TBS of water

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Melt the oil in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds
Add the Shakeology (and PB)
Add water 1 TBS at a time until you reach that “brownie batter” consistency!
Try not to eat the bowl as you’re scraping every little bite off!!!
If you’re patient enough, toss it in the freezer for about 15 minutes – OMG!

The shakeology would be your “red” and the coconut oil and PB if you’re using it would count towards a teaspoon. I actually just made half of one after dinner to satisfy that snacking urge (and because I only had 1/2 a red left!) and it was the perfect amount! My hubs indulged in a full scoop!

If you’re looking for a full 30-day supply of Shakeology, check out the flavor options HERE

Not sure what flavor you’d like – but still want to give Shakeology a try? Try the flavor sampler pack to figure what which is your favorite! I am obviously a HUGE chocolate fan!!!!

If you are ever looking for help on your own health and fitness journey or just want the additional accountability join me in my next challenge group!

There’s power in numbers ❤
