Love yourself – Summer Kickstart

July 11, 2016July 11, 2016Leave a comment

Who’s ready to join me July 18th for my 4-week Love Yourself SUMMER Kickstart Challenge?

We will start with 7 days of PREP complete with meal planning, new ideas, recipes and tips to help you get up and running followed by our 3 week – 21 DAY Challenge!

Traveling? Vacation? Weddings? Company? NO PROBLEM!!!!

This is about finding ways to create a healthy LIFESTYLE with balance, fulfillment and RESULTS!

This group will combine both FITNESS & NUTRITION.

I am highlighting the 21-Day Fix and Fix Extreme this month as these two programs have been the most KEY in helping not only myself but the majority of my challengers but we will discuss what is best for YOU!

You can expect sample meal plans during the group but you’ll have the freedom and flexibility to make these specific plans fit YOUR lifestyle.

This group requires that I AM YOUR COACH & that you commit to a fitness program that we will decide on together.

Each participant will replace one meal with our nutrient dense superfood meal replacement, Shakeology and I’ll provide you with the support, motivation and drive to not only COMMIT but follow through with your commitment.

There will only be 15 participants selected this round so it will be based on a first come first serve basis!!!!

Anyone who enrolls by the end of day July 15th will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card.

Fill out the application below, invite some friends & get pumped up!!!

WHO’S READY FOR RESULTS?

22 Minute Hard Corps Recap & Results

May 17, 2016May 16, 2016Leave a comment

And just like that 8 weeks flew by and I found myself 56 days down the road since I began my journey with 22 Minute Hard Corps.

Before I start any new program I take the time to sit, reflect and set some goals.

Then, naturally, comes the evaluation stage when its all said and done.

Sometimes I crush them. Sometimes I fall way short and others its right on the line.

I’d say these ones fell right on the line.

I lost 1.8 pounds & just shy of 2″ around my waist.
I see more definition in my core and arms and feel leaner.

I quickly saw the immediate results of when I chose clean, healthy food choices vs. when I didn’t. I am getting to the point where the crazy out of control cheat meals just aren’t worth it! I do much better when I avoid the gluten and steer clear of the dairy!!!

On the upside I am able to pound out more pushups than ever before but fell short of that dang pull up goal #someday

All in all I am happy with my results. When you boil it down, we enjoyed the Easter holiday, our little man’s 3rd birthday, a few friend parties, a Baptism, the Buccos opening day, Mothers Day, a Pens playoff game and found balance in it all!

My nutrition was far from perfect…and while my goal is usually 80/20 I’d say I fell more along the lines of 70/30. But I enjoyed the ride! And that’s just it – its a PROCESS!!!

I was excited to share in this journey with all of my challengers and look forward to seeing what the next challenge brings!

People kept asking me: Would I recommend this program?

Truth is – I think it is a great program to do – but not to get started with.

The 22 Minute length is amazing but a lot of the moves are challenging.

I have been consistently working out for over 2 years and found myself modifying more often than anticipated. A lot of my new challengers who started with this program found themselves struggling. That being said – others who had already completed programs like Insanity Max:30, 21-day fix, PIYO, etc… enjoyed the change up, shorter length and challenge this program brought.

In the end it will depend on you and what you like.

But if you’re wondering if this program can help you reach your goals…chances are the answer is YES!!!

I am happy to add this to my library and look forward to dabbling back to these workouts, even the dreaded Cardio 3 on those days when I really do just have 22 minutes to spare!

I want to thank you for taking the time to read this and share in my journey.

It can be hard putting myself out there on social media but I do so each and every day in hopes to some how some way inspire someone with my words and actions!

If you’re interested in joining my next challenge please take the time to fill out the application below and I will get in touch with you within 24 hours.

I’ve had a lot of people ask me about the next program I am going to complete.

I spent December – February rocking out to Hammer & Chisel (8 week program and 4 weeks of the Chisel guide) followed by 8 weeks of 22 Minute Hard Corps…so the big question is – what’s next?

This is honestly a tough one for me…and I’ve been thinking a lot about it.

At first, I was going to jump right into the 21-day fix. With summer fast approaching I know this program will get me to where I want to be. Its my “soulmate program”. The one that got me hooked on living a healthy balanced lifestyle and the one that helped me lose those post baby pounds!!!

Then I thought about PIYO. I’ve done this the last two summers and enjoy ditching the weights and using my own body weight to work myself towards new boundaries and find new strengths. It challenges me in a new ones – one like no other program and I get to combine my love of yoga with fat & calorie burning low impact cardio!

But when I got down to picking something to kick off with tomorrow – I opted for the dabble route!

There are so many amazing workouts at my finger tips with Beachbody On Demand through the Club Membership and I LOVE the change up. New trainers, new workouts, new muscles, new soreness, new results. I thrive on training my entire body and switching it up. And while the 21-day fix gets me there…I like the variety too and options available on demand!

On Demand offers a Challenge Du Jour so you can still “follow a program” but switch things up too! And honestly – that’s what I love about my home workout programs! I have the ability to choose what to do when to do it!

I have some of the best fitness trainers in the world at my fingertips to help me reach my goals!

But no matter what program I follow – the KEY is the nutrition.

I adapted the portion controlled “system” nearly 2 years ago and it has become my way of life.

Yes I sometimes veer of course.

Yes I splurge.

Yes I make mistakes.

And yes there are those really rare days that I just plain old eat like crap!

But I live and learn and move forward. So matter what tune I am exercising too – I will be fueling my body with the foods that make me feel like supermom…afterall – don’t we all need a little extra super powers here and there!!!

Tomorrow kicks off my DROP 10 Challenge and I want to invite YOU to join ME and a few other ladies as we prepare for the launch of SUMMER and finding that inner confidence to look and feel good this summer!

Apply below for a spot!

change vs stay the same quote.PNG Let’s pause for a minute…

Think about that.

Do you want to make a change?

Stay the same.

Are you READY-emotionally and physically for that CHANGE?

Change isn’t easy. It can be hard. There can be moments of doubt. But my goodness when you reach that goal it feels pretty darn amazing.

Let me share for a minute my moment when that desire to change finally outweighed my desire to stay the same…

I was 3 most post-partum with my second child. I was 27 years old, holding on to about 5 or 7 ‘extra’ pounds at that point and down right – EXHAUSTED (what mom of an infant isn’t?!?!)

For the longest time I just thought new moms were supposed to be tired all the time…but then I realized…

It just didn’t seem right.

I was young, a stay at home mom of 2 and I wasn’t overweight. I had all these “things” i wanted to do with my kiddos and around the house and being EXHAUSTED wasn’t really an option. Not anymore!

But I am no fool.

I knew the problem.

It was my nutrition and lack of ANY type of exercise was the root of the cause…

So I took the plunge and made the commitment to change all the things that I knew were bringing me down and low and behold…I FOUND MY RESULTS.

Sure, the portion containers were intimidating at first. I had never measured ANYTHING.

I was a bit reluctant to think there was really a program out there that could help you lose “up to 15 pounds in 21 days”.

And don’t get me started on the hesitations to Shakeology – I thought it was crazy expensive and truly expected a chalky milk drink!

But like I said, I was ready to make that commitment. So I pushed the doubts aside and jumped in…all IN and I have never looked back!

My passion, my business and a huge part of my life has become helping other women – and other moms – find what I was looking for 2 years ago.

To find that solution to a problem, to support others in their journey, to guide them and teach them so they too know just how amazing their bodies are designed to feel when treated right!

So let me go back to how I started this post…

Does YOUR desire to change outweigh your desire to stay the same?

If the answer is maybe or I think or perhaps, then I can’t help you right now…

BUT – If the answer is Heck to the YES then read on…

Because I am so excited to announce my first ever STRIPPED Clean Eating Challenge.

This group will be different from others in that we will be focusing on those specific foods that are holding you back from reaching your own goals!

You will have the option to pick your workout program and I will help you find the one right for you!

And yes – that chalky milk that I was so afraid of in the beginning – you’ll be trying that too! Because, well, in all honesty I couldn’t have been more far off on how amazing that superfood meal replacement shake truly is!!!!

We will go through goal setting and we will start and end our group – TOGETHER!!!

At the the end of our 21 days together you will also have the option to also do the 3 day refresh to get the best results possible.

And don’t worry – I will be in the trenches with you! I have our annual beach vacation on the horizon and my best friends wedding later this summer! Not only do I want to look my best – but I want to FEEL my best too! I am going to be BUSY!

So if you’ve made it this far I am thinking you just may be at that point too! That point where your desire to change outweighs your desire to stay the same – so let’s do this!!!

If you’re ready to DROP 10 – Fill out the form below to be considered for 1 of my 10 spots.

To sum up – your requirements are:

1. Must not be a customer of another coach

2. Each participant will purchase the challenge pack of their choice & replace one meal a day with Shakeology

3. Must be ready to COMMIT to a change and toss the excuses out the window

This group will fill up fast! I am excited to have you with us on this journey!

22 Minute Hard Corps Half way point

April 19, 2016April 19, 2016Leave a comment

Its all in the mind…

As I wrapped up week 4 of my 22 Minute Hard Corps I found myself slipping on my nutrition….similairly the results I was seeing form after the first 3 weeks lessened as the bloat kicked in.

Sure my workouts were on point, they typically are but I fell off the wagon, enjoyed a late night business meeting, fun girls night out, pizza night in and a Pittsburgh Pirate baseball game on the most beautiful day of the year. I was hurting…so I did exactly what I know best…FLIPPED GEARS – and this next week is all about nutrition FOCUS!

I am pulling out my containers and getting back to the basics.

I often get asked:

⭐Do you measure everything you eat?
⭐How long do you have to use those containers?
⭐Do you really WANT to be measuring everything?

👉🏻And here’s the deal…even after 2 years of adapting a balanced, healthy lifestyle – yes I still pull these bad boys out…not because I HAVE to but because when I estimate – I typically short change myself – and knowing that – I end up eating other things later anyway!

When you eat whole, natural foods in the portions right for YOU there’s no starvation around.

You’re not hungry.
You FEEL energized.
And the results show.

So while I don’t have to use these for every meal and there are some things I just estimate…when I am home and can… I do…because then I eat MORE – and this mama loves her food!!!

I have a minor surgery Friday so that day will be a bit off and our weekend is filled with some time with friends and little get togethers but I am still planning accordingly!

For me – even when its unknown I have to write down what I can! It helps me prepare and we all know the famous saying:

Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

Lucky for me this week kicked off my online Bikini Bootcamp so I am thriving off their energy and excited to lead by example. For them and for my family!

Its not too late to join!

If you would like support, motivation and healthy ideas to get you up and running for the summer – fill out the application below and I will reach out to you about the requirements for the group!

Join this group dedicated to helping you get results with the commitment you made!

☝No its not free.
👌Yes it will take time and energy on your part.
🙌But take it from me…if you’ve ever tried and failed. It feels really good to try – and SUCCEED

Spring can be quite the eye opener.

Imagine this: You get that first burst of warm weather – you go to grab your favorite pair of shorts from last summer…and….they don’t go past your hips

Yup! I’ve been there! In fact as I prepped for our cruise last month – that happened!

Coming off the winter months filled with holidays and warm snuggles by the fire can make it hard to get up and get moving and easily lose track of your health and fitness goals.

But don’t fall on the quick fit fitness gimmicks!!!

Most solutions that people apply or buy fail because they only address ONE specific point of the issue. In my mind, its a comprehensive approach that truly WORKS to help you reach your goals…there’s 5 pieces that really matter:

#1. ACCOUNTABILITY: I offer private online accountability groups. This places you with other like minded individuals all working towards the same goals!

#2. SIMPLE/BASIC NUTRITION: I take the guess work out of one of the hardest parts of health… nutrition.

#3. Shakeology!!! This IS the healthiest meal you will have all day packed with over 70 super foods & the most amazing, smooth taste and somehow supermom powers at least in my opinion!

#4. EFFECTIVE EXERCISE: Simple basic workouts with amazing results in as little as 22 minutes a day!

And if you’re thinking:

“but I have kids”

“but I’m tired”

“but I work long hours”

Trust me – you can find 22 minutes a day! If you WANT this you can do this!!!

#5. FREE coaching from me every day! That’s right, I am with you every step of the way every single day.

I have a brand new challenge group starting April 18th and would love for you to join me!

Seriously – what do you have to lose?!?!?

Top tips to get in a morning workout

April 7, 2016April 7, 2016Leave a comment

Want to know a secret? I don’t like getting up at 5:00am to workout🙈

Yup! I said it!

But here’s the deal…when it comes to my schedule and our typical day…if it doesn’t happen bright and early before the kiddos wake up…it just doesn’t happen! I am not an exercise in the evening person!

And while I don’t love peeling myself out of bed at 5:00am…I do LOVE the health benefits of consistent, daily exercise…and the impact on the waistline isn’t too shabby either!

So here’s my tips to ensuring my snooze doesn’t turn into an unplanned rest day:

1. Set the alarm…or 3 alarms but put the phone ACROSS the room so you HAVE to get out of bed to grab it. You may lay back in bed for a snooze but chances are when you stand up…if you can repeat over and over to yourself I’M AWAKE 3x chances are…you’ll just get to it!

2. Sleep in your workout clothes! Its one less step and one less thing to think about it in the morning! And if you don’t want to sleep in them…AT LEAST lay them out the night before!

3. As soon as you pop out of bed – down a pre-workout drink like ENERGIZE!

This is really my secret weapon. No jittery side effects and just the extra boost I need to power through while I am still waking up! Plus I am slightly addicted to the taste

4. Commit to a SCHEDULE. I don’t like to fall off schedule so knowing that each day I am doing a particular workout or focusing on a particular part of my body helps me stay committed.

5. Tell a friend! Find a buddy or accountability partner who is working towards similar goals as you. Whether its a verbal commitment or an early morning text to simply say “let’s crush it” may be all you need to get up and get moving!

When you combine these things you will be setting yourself up for SUCCESS!!!

Insanity Max: 30 Week 6 in review, Week 7 Meal plan

January 17, 2015January 17, 20152 Comments

6 weeks down and 2 to go! I can’t believe I am in the homestretch!!!

This last week was a little different but challenging yet still!

I had an absolutely AMAZING weekend in the ‘burgh for Pittsburgh’s Super Friday and our Dream Team Celebration Saturday.

I got to meet our CEO Carl Daikeler:

I got to meet AND workout with the creator of the 21-day fix – Autumn Calabrese and try out her new 21-day fix EXTREME:

Of course we worked out…

But we also celebrated and ate, and ate, and ate some more!

So needless to say I needed a jumpstart for week 6 – enter a simple little cleanse – the 3-day REFRESH!

Sometimes its hard to get back in the swing of things. I’m a routine type of person. Keep me on my routine and I’m as happy as can be. Stray from that – and watch out! It wasn’t easy jumping back in…I could feel the bad nutrition choices lingering in my body but I knew the easiest way was to JUST DO IT – so I did!

Monday was a typical day and then I started the 3-day refresh on Tuesday. The guide says to do “moderate exercise” so I stayed with the modifier in Insanity Max: 30 on both Wednesday and Thursday but went full out Friday morning – what can I say I was feeling REFRESHED!!!

If you haven’t heard of this yet or given it a try – please consider it! I am not big on diets, cleanses etc… but this is different!

You can read more about What is the 3-day Refresh on a prior post but your daily meals look a little something like this —->

You really are eating all day long – its simple, vegan, small meals, some shakes and a few really good night sleeps! Trust me!

By Friday morning, the bloat was gone, I was down 3 pounds, 3 inches, rested and ready to continue on with my healthy eating habits!

These just goes to show you how important your nutrition is! I never missed a workout but that bloat was BAD! But hey – I’m back on track!!!

I wrapped up the week with a morning sweat mesh with my #1 by my side. We have a jam packed weekend so I got a jump start on my next week’s meal plan and off to music class and SAMs club we go!

Stay strong, be healthy, make good choices – and SWEAT TODAY!

Insanity Max: 30 Week 3 Review – Week 4 Meal Plan

December 28, 2014December 28, 2014Leave a comment

Whew – I am happy to say that the best of the holidays are almost behind me! I love the family gatherings and sharing in all the celebrations but my oh my there has been food EVERYWHERE!!! I have enjoyed every last bite but I am ready to gear up and get back fully focused for Week 4 of Insanity Max: 30!

I am also very happy to say, despite the holiday chatter – I didn’t miss a workout and I even scored a few accountability partners along the way! My mama joined me Christmas morning and my hubby and I jammed out together while out of town with our laptops side by side playing our different workouts! Hey – you gotta make it work!!!

I love when my healthy living lifestyle rubs off on others! And with a trip to Texas thrown in this week I was totally banking on an outdoor run with my mother-in-law but mother nature was not on our side 😦

The workout schedule followed a similar layout to weeks 1 and 2 but Tabata Power was replaced with Tabata Strength. So it had a similar concept with going hard for 20 seconds followed by a 10 second jog/break but just as challenging!!! I continue to max out on the push ups series but I will say that I am noticeably getting stronger and even though I max out I am able to take a quick break, or go to the modified for a short bit then I’m right back in it!!!

One question I keep getting is about the max out times…So WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO MAX OUT???

So…when you first press play on the DVD you will go as hard as you can for as long as you can. When your form breaks, when you need to stop and rest or when you have to jump down and start following the modifier – you have maxed out. But you’re not finished! You can pause the workout, take a drink but you get right back to it!!! Sometimes a quick water break is all it takes and I am able to jump right back where I left off and others I take that break and stick with the modifier for a bit – but regardless you still finish the full 30 minutes!!! I hope that helps!

I’m anxious to see how I can improve upon my times as this will be my last week in this phase before moving on to month 2!!!

My week 4 meal plan is similar to prior weeks adjusting for a travel day in the air and on the road for Monday and a few get togethers with friends later in the week! One thing I’ve learned is when you host events – you get to pick the meals!!! Our NYE dinner will be cooked at home, by yours truly, with some filets, risotto and green beans! No need to go out to enjoy a little splurge!!!

(Although this meal plan is titled “Insanity Max:30” it is also 21-day fix approved. The color coded portion control containers correlate to the nutrition guide of the 21-day fix and Insanity Max:30!)

And there you have it friends, week 3 is a wrap, week 4 is planned, and I am mentally gearing up to close out 2015 with a BANG!

Insanity Max: 30 Week 2 Review, Week 3 Prep

December 21, 2014December 23, 2014Leave a comment

Another week down and another week stronger! I know it may sound silly but just two weeks in and I can already see improvements. My max out times are improving and there are moves that I couldn’t do in week 1 that I nailed in week 2. This seems crazy to me!

The workout schedule follows the same from WEEK 1:

Monday: Cardio Challenge

Tuesday/Thursday: Tabata Power

Wednesday: Sweat Intervals

Friday: Friday Fight Round 1

Saturday: Pulse and Abs

Sunday: (much anticipated) REST!!!

Needless to say, I am enjoying this program!!!!

I will admit – although I haven’t missed a workout, I had a few struggles this week with the nutrition department! I’m sure you can relate…A party here, dinner out there and the usual things that come with the week before Christmas! But boy, I can feel the difference! Even though I used my usual tactics like drinking my shakeology before I go and drinking more than my required amount of water, we had our MOMs Club Christmas party where I enjoyed a few too many cookies, we had a late afternoon trip to the mall that resulted in dinner out and a cheesecake shared with my hubby, a girls day lunch at the Olive Garde – THOSE BREADSTICKS!!!! Need I say more?! And I can’t tell you the last time I had nachos but Dave and Busters nailed that loaded platter – and my fingers can feel the increase in salt!!!

So here’s to week 3! I cannot change the week before but I can certainly focus on the week ahead! It will be another challenging one in regards to nutrition but that just means I’m going to need to really focus on the first half of the week and keep my goals on top of my mind through “the most wonderful time of the year!”

So what’s my plan????

Here is my HOLIDAY WEEK GAMEPLAN and my tips for you to help stay on track:

1) MORNING WORKOUTS – I’ll be continuing with my early morning workouts, and yes, even on Christmas morning! Why not? Just because its a holiday doesn’t mean you should sacrifice your own self health!

2) SHAKEOLOGY – I’ll still start EVERY morning off with Shakeology. I know how much it helps my energy and cravings…which will need a little extra control this week! It will go with me when I travel and I’ll keep packets with me so I don’t have any excuse not to eat healthy while we’re “busy” this week! Besides, it tastes like a treat anyway!!!

3) BE OPEN – I’ll share my plan with my family – and all of you! Having others to help keep me accountable always helps me reach my goals!!! Hopefully I’ll even have some company for my workouts!

4) BALANCE – I’ll be doing a little 80/20 with my nutrition. 80% of the time I am going to be SPOT and the other 20% I will enjoy my Christmas favorites!! But that’s it – JUST my favorites. I know there will be lots and lots of goodies all around but they’re not all my favorites. So I’ll pick and choose and enjoy my indulgences. I’ll pack my snacks, especially when traveling, and load up on the veggies every chance I get!

5) WATER – Keep up with my 1 gallon per day! I’ve been drinking about 1 gallon a day for a few weeks now. I fill my Shakeology shaker cup 6 times and I’m there. Keeping my water intake up helps avoid the mistake of thirst for hunger!

6) HAVE FUN! – I will enjoy the holidays. I will enjoy the time iwht my family, I will enjoy the energy I feel when I start my day off right and fuel my body, and I will enjoy those little buckeyes – in a reasonable portion 🙂

7) PACK THE DVDs – I’ll be traveling with my Insanity Max:30 DVDs. I love how portable my home workout programs are but this one is even easier as I don’t even have to worry about any equipment! I just need a little space and I’m all set!

Week 3’s meal plan is certainly a bit different but even with the holiday and travels I’m still planning out! I will not surrender and throw my hands up on the week in its entirety! (This meal plan is also 21-day fix approved in addition to Insanity Max:30 -just a little extra bonus!)
