Once you decide that you’re IN THIS – the first thing we do is chat GOALS, pick a workout program that is right for YOU and YOUR intentions, and get you plugged into my online accountability group.

I can tell you from experience…its the combination of FITNESS & SUPPORT & NUTRITION that gives you RESULTS.

In February of 2014 I found myself staring at my very sick little boy in Children’s hospital and as I struggled to get any sleep at all, in the wee hours of the morning, I scrolled Facebook and came across a post from my coach about her next accountability group.

It was that moment that I began to realize…you can’t put a price on HEALTH.

My fitness journey, just like life, has had its ups and downs – Yet I never STOPPED.

I’ve learned to stop letting the scale define me and I have found happiness in surrounding myself with other people – LIKE ME.

Who get me.
Who understand the journey.
Who aren’t afraid to get started.
Who know there will be tough days
Who are determined to push through them.

Its been 34 straight MONTHS of daily exercise, daily superfoods, and ongoing support groups.

I figured out how to fill my cup so I can help others fill theirs too and so we can pour into those we love.

Its not foolproof.
I’m not perfect.
It takes hard work.

We fall down and we get back up.

Its a journey…but I am grateful for those who ride with me and I constantly remind myself that my one decision to just DO IT has rippled into a tsunami sized wave that has impacted HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of people.

You will never know what you’re capable of – until its your only option left.

Resolutions into RESULTS: Early Enrollment

December 11, 2016December 18, 20161 Comment

I’m not sure if its…

…the super great deal at the local gym?

….Or maybe the 7-10 pounds “typical” Americans tack on during the holidays?

….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 resolutions in America have something to do with:

EXERCISE MORE
LOSE WEIGHT
Improve DIET

Yet, statistics show, 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 that’s where I can help!

Here’s the deal…if you make a few temporary changes the results will simply be that – temporary. You won’t truly achieve 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!

Now I get it – 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.

For me, the secret sauce was truly found when I joined an online 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 don’t have all the answers but I have experience, drive, passion and a desire to help others SUCCEED in achieving their personal health & fitness goals!!!

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

To not just COMMIT but truly make a CHANGE!

I’m kicking off my RESOLUTIONS INTO RESULTS challenge group January 2nd and I am looking for 10 people to join me!

BONUS: in the season of GIVING I am offering one of my favorite, and total mindset game-changing books THE MIRACLE MORNING to all participants who commit WITH A CHALLENGE PACK by 12/24.

And if that wasn’t enough – Beachbody is launching their their 2nd Health Bet Challenge where they have put in $2 million to a pot reserved just for people who commit to a fitness program and log at least 3 workouts a week & replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology and log 5 Shakeology’s into our tracker app for 4 weeks. If you complete the necessary steps you are entered to win the cash prize at the end!
Yes – you can in fact get a reward for doing what you already want to do and COMMIT to improving your overall health & fitness.

So to bring it all together:

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO:

First you need to make me your official coach. You can complete your enrollment here:

Make Maegan my coach

Fill out the application below so that we can determine the best program to suit your GOALS.
Commit to the duration of the group. This is about finding a solution to your needs. A program you’ll enjoy, a program that aligns with your goals, and a program that you can COMPLETE.

Nutrition matters.
You must be willing to hold yourself accountable in our private online accountability group – AND – participate in the group daily to log and monitor your progress. Getting started is one thing – but its following it through to the end where the magic happens!

I am not here to sell you a program.

I am here to help you DECIDE – COMMIT – and SUCCEED in reaching your overall health and fitness GOALS through the combination of FITNESS – NUTRITION & SUPPORT.

Candy Cane Shakeology

December 8, 2016December 8, 2016Leave a comment

Tis the season my friends!!!

Its been a while since I’ve shared a new Shakeology recipe but that’s mainly because I am a creature of HABIT and well, I like my daily chocolate shakeo with spinach, almond butter and coconut water…BUT…in the spirit of my 12 DAYS OF SHAKEOLOGY group launching next week…I decided to get a little festive and let’s just say: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 Scoop chocolate Shakeology (vegan or regular)
1 cup almond milk/coconut water
2 tsp crushed candy canes

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Blend and ENJOY!

NOTE: The more ice you add, the thicker it becomes! I like to add LOTS so I can eat it like a bowl of ice cream!!! I combine everything in my blender with about 10-12 ice cubes. Basically JUST ENOUGH that allows my blender to blend it without getting stuck.

I switch the dial to “frozen desserts” – turn it on and let it do its magic!!!

(My old blender didn’t have this feature so I just did the “crush ice” feature for about 10 seconds then I would blend on high until it sounded like all the ice was gone).

Sometimes I have to take it and shake it a bit but that’s how I get the ice cream consistency!

I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Core de Force RESULTS

November 23, 2016November 23, 20164 Comments

30 days ago I made a COMMITMENT.

That I was going ALL in with the brand new home fitness workout program – CORE DE FORCE & combining that with a Whole 30 Nutrition plan.

I was a bit nervous.
Unsure how I would tackle traveling, the MANY birthday parties and the unpredictable days that typical #momlife presents…but I didn’t care.

I wasn’t going to let those excuses hold me back any longer. After all, I had been “considering” this for over 6 months. I convinced myself there was never going to be a PERFECT time to do it.

Mentally…I WAS IN IT.

I was simply GOING ALL IN with the intent to FINISH and enjoy the pure sense of satisfaction that I CAN DO HARD THINGS.

Mentally I was ready. Physically I was unsure. But I knew I was going to give it my all!!!

I can truly say these last 30 days have been some of the most rewarding.

I realized that YES – I can in fact workout for more than 30 minutes a day – at home – AND – ENJOY IT!!!

Most every other workout program I completed was based around the “30 minutes or less” approach and while I LOVE that attribute working out for 47 minutes when you LOVE what you’re doing and can see the hard work paying off isn’t so bad after all!

And I realized that good food doesn’t have to be bad food! Our Whole 30 nutrition plan provided us with the NUTRITION and FUEL we needed to rock each and every day, and continue to get RESULTS!!!!

Without a shadow of a doubt – I owe a portion of my success to my hubby who worked out with me daily at home.

Helped push me out of bed when I didn’t want to.

Guided me through the moves when my uncoordinated self couldn’t figure it out!!!

And simply made the entire experience MORE fun for us both!

But let’s be real…reading about the success is one thing – but it all comes to LIFE when you can see RESULTS.

And here you have it:

In the last 30 days I have lost:

6 pounds
1.5 inches off my waist
2 inches off my hips
1 inch off each leg

And this is exactly the motivation I needed to head into the Holidays with the right intentions and positive mindset!

You can read more about each week below:

If this looks like a program you may be interested let’s chat about my next online accountability group!

Committing to start a program is one thing…getting started is another…following it through until the end is a whole new story!

Allow me to help you every step of the way!

Mission Maintain: Holiday Survival

November 22, 2016November 22, 20161 Comment

Did you know the average american GAINS 7-10 pounds between Halloween and New Years?!

Its true!!!

Afterall, its EASY to take the chunk of time, chalk all the mishaps up to holiday craziness and commit to “a new plan in January” – but you don’t have to call it quits yet!

Forget the NEW year resolution – its time for a YEAR END resolution!

There’s still 6 weeks left in 2016 and I am pulling together the troops for one final round – TOGETHER – to help us SURVIVE the holidays.

Mission MAINTAIN isn’t about total deprivation.

Or total indulgence.

Its about BALANCE.

Its about helping ensure you’re not part of that “majority” that gains and feels gross about themselves come 12/31.

Its about finding the foods you enjoy most and truly ENJOYING them but passing on the rest.

And its about carving out those 30-45 minutes a day to better yourself so you can give more to others.

So many people live uncomfortably those last months of the year with an attitude that they’ll just “start fresh in the new year” – but WHY WAIT?

IMAGINE how AMAZING you’ll feel if you make a commitment TODAY to end 2016 STRONGER than you started and start 2017 off with a fresh clean slate and positive mindset!

IMAGINE the confidence you’ll have – the increase in energy – and comfort knowing you’re doing something today your future self will thank you for.

If you IMAGINE this is something you want to attain – THEN JOIN ME!!!!

I will be rocking ROUND 2 of CORE DE FORCE but your fitness program is simply that – YOUR choice!

I will help you find the fitness program that works best for YOU
Each participant will commit to 30 days of Shakeology. Not because I think you need this. But because I KNOW you need this! My participants see greater results, feel better and are properly fueling their bodies when this one mindless meal replaces one prior meal they were eating! It tastes AMAZING and with the busy holiday time – you’ll come back around to thank me!!!

Ratatouille

November 21, 2016November 21, 2016Leave a comment

I saw the Ratatouille recipe in the Whole 30 cookbook and to be honest, was simply intrigued by the name.

I thought Ratatouille was simply a Disney movie?!

Nonetheless I was excited to try a new veggie loaded side dish and this one had all my favorites in the mix.

WHAT YOU NEED*:

1/4 cup coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
2 zucchini, diced
2 squash, diced
1 eggplant, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
4 gloves garlic
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

*The recipe in the Whole 30 cookbook had smaller portions of each veggie. I found myself determined to have leftovers so I upped the amounts. I don’t think you can go wrong here! Point is – load up on all your favorites! Leave out something you don’t like and ENJOY!!!!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling oto coat the bottom of the pot.
When the oil is hot add the onion, cooking until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the zucchini, squash and eggplant and season with salt and pepper.
Cook about 2-3 minutes stirring frequently.
Add the red and green peppers, cooking an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute.
Add tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water.
Mix completely and bring to a simmer over low heat.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until all th vegetables are tender, about 20-25 minutes.

TRANSFER to a serving dose and sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar.

This was a great side dish with grilled chicken, the perfect burgers and salmon cakes!

Next time I will try this dish all on the grill in a grill basket for even easier clean up and more flavor!

************************************

I am currently on Day 29 of the Whole 30 and Core De Force combined and while I am no expert I am absolutely loving the program, results and accountability from those joining me!!!
