Throw Back Thursday

I came across this picture of me crossing the finish line. This was 2011 or 2012. I did three half marathons back then. I also did not know jack squat about nutrition. The other pic is today. Listen, I am fully aware I am not where I was - it has been a battle, BUT I am a lot better than I used to be. The weight difference is here is maybe 8 pounds. It is NOT just about the scale. It is doing more endurance training, lifting, and NUTRITION. So yes, Shakeology changed everything for me From there I learned more. I am older, stronger, more confident. Do not think for one minute you can't do this. You just need to make the decision to do it. Period.

You Really Got This!

So when you feel down and out, frustrated, want to raid the pantry or not workout, say this to yourself. 💗
Have a good day!

Avocados - Good for you!

Avocado is SO good for you! I used to not be able to eat guacamole - now I love it! Plain avocado's just don't have taste but when I add them to something I know I am nourishing my body. It is a GOOD fat. We need good fats. Here are some of the benefits.

TIP: (I learned this from someone else!) Keep in the frig for a longer shelf life!

Do you like avocados?

Did You Eat too Much over the 4th like me?

Holidays are hard.  I stayed home from a trip to Colorado over Thanksgiving while my husband and son went because I knew it would be too hard to avoid temptation.  I stayed home myself to stay on schedule.  I was training for a figure competition at the time.  I miss that discipline I had.  It takes a very special mindset.  I am pretty focused now but my nutrition does fall from time to time.  I am more aware of the types of foods I need to eat, but it doesn't always mean I do so.  That is why I want to help others realize what is good and not.

The 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme Challenge Packs are on sale again for July . This program has changed the way we look at food and portion control.  The Challenge Pack gives you the nutrition guide, which explains how to use the program, what to eat and how much, the 30 min, workouts and first bag of Shakeology, which is insanely cheap.  Like $10 when you buy the challenge pack.  Shakeology is Beachbody's Daily Dose of dense nutrition.  Game changer in itself.

So to be festive with the 4th, I am offering these amazing giveaways with any Challenge Pack Purchase.  It does not have to be 21 Day Fix, it can be anyone of Beachbody's programs.

First come first serve.  The 21 Day Fix Extreme Program or the ever popular Shakeology container OR 5 shakeology packets.  Great for travel or if you want to try a new flavor.

Please comment if you want further info!  Let me help you get on a better path to a healthier lifestyle!

Work for it

I would love to wake up, eat donuts, watch TV, be in super shape and just get a paycheck. Unfortunately it does not work that way. So, I hunker down, work and work some more. It is going to pay off. I believe it and will continue to do so! I have to, the other option kind of blows. 😉
Enjoy your day!
