Saturday fun-day!

I don't know about you but I LOVE Saturdays! Even though I am usually booked to the max at least I do NOT have to rise at 5am to start my day! I also love Saturdays because I can take some time to make my breakfast and relax while eating it!✅😳👍

Here is one of my favorite breakfast omelettes.

6 egg whites and frozen mixed veggies..

Of course starting off the day with one of 4 liters of water 👏👏

Today is Day#6 on Fix Extreme! Everything is going good and today is an Extreme day-which means fruit! 🍇

Today I decided I would add some more to 21DFX so i brought back my boyfriend-Shaun T..I added in Core Cardio from month 2 of T25 Beta and gosh darnit my legs!! 😳😳

That's what I love about all these at-home programs..you just pick and choose as you wish without ever leaving your home! Triple win!✅✅✅

Today also brought 30 degress and sun!!☀️☀️

Speaking of sun tomorrow is March 1st.which means next month April is time for Cancun!! Oh this looks like heaven:  If thats not motivation enough to keep pushing play I don't know what is!! 👙👙☀️☀️💪💪👍👍

Keep pushing play y'all!! Have a great Saturday! 🎉🎉❤️❤️😘😘❄️❄️

Day 5: Stay off the scale!

So I am five days in on my Countdown to Competition Plan..while I usually do NOT weigh myself hardly ever, I needed to for this plan to keep track of my progress and hold myself accountable...

Here is where most people get discouraged. They step on that scale and do NOT see a number change within 5 days, so they give up.  They start eating anything they want again and throw the towel in!  This is the part where YOU must take that "number" as it is, because it is JUST a number of gravity on a device..and keep going! Push harder, stronger and longer! Keep taking those measurements!!! Our weights fluctuate by the hour! Noone stays the same continuously because you are a human being moving person :) 

That being said, my number has stayed the same since Monday..it was a bad week with my monthly cycle where I also gain and retain water, but my Non-Scale Victory is that I am holding true to the program, my foods are right on track and I feel good!! And I know that all this hard work is and will pay off✅

Time to get this day started!! Then it's a Cardio Extreme Day type of day!

It's the weekend where I struggle the hardest, but not this weekend....because I have my plan and I am ready to conquer!!

Day 4: Leg Day!!

I am feeling it this morning! Back to carb depleting day on the CTC plan -it's Day 4 of 21! I am feeling good!! 👍💪 Bring on my mushroom and spinach omelet! I need some recovery food after this tough lower body workout! #legday

After hard workouts like this you need to FUEL, not fill your body! Here is one of my favorite breakfast:

Spinach and Mushroom omelet

4 egg whites

1egg

3/4 c raw spinach

1/4 c mushrooms

1 teasp. Coconut oil

Heat the oil in the pan.add the veggies then add the egg mixture.voila and yum!!

For snacks on CTC days I like

To utilize my one carb (steel cut oats) and peanut butter together..i like this as a mid-morning snack..then my afternoon snack is my Shakeology to hold me over until dinner!

Guess I was a little hungry today!

While this day has come with some pretty crazy cravings, I know i can always count on my chocolate friend to help me out!!! My favorite chocolate Shakeo is: 1 c water, 1/2 c unsweetend almond milk, 8 oz ice and one teasp. all natural PB! 

Tomorrow is Day 5! And heading into the weekend which is always my toughest!!! Its also when i like to double

Up since I dont have to be committed to my desk by 7am!! Let's see how I hold up!👍😳

Day 3: Time to eat some CARBs!!

So happy to be back up at 530 am for my morning FIX!!! Pilates Fix and Hardcore abs done! Amen to have the longer resistance band finally!! I LOVE this shirt because yes i AM closer everyday! And its an Extreme Plan eating day!! Time to get me some CARBS ✅

Ahhh breakfast never looked or tasted So good!!This Is absolutely one of my all time favorite breakfasts!  Its quick and fast and holds Me over well until mid morning! Check for this tasty breakfast blueberry egg muffin above under recipes :)

Snack time today was fantastic since my hummus/blue container is back!!! Side it with some fresh cherry tomatoes and we are set to go!!

 

Lunchtime was FABtastic..why you ask?? Because I am fueling my body!! With good whole foods!!

I have realized in my journey over the past few years that when I eat good whole foods I Feel Soo much better!! Me personally I feel as if my body cannot handle the highly overprocessed stuff..like the white breads, crackers, cookies, cakes, cereals etc...While I love the fast sugar high, I just feel better when my carb sources come from whole foods!

Here is my lunch from today :) a nice variety of color!!

So all in all today was a GOOD day!! My chocolate Shakeology finally came and I got to enjoy my Banana Chocolate snack at 3pm :) 👍✅

So tomorrow it's back to carb depletion day for the next 2 days..oh and the dreaded (JK) Leg Day! 😳 i better rest up! 💤

The struggle is REAL!

So it's Day 2 on CTC plan and I was really craving fruit today...As the day progressed those apples, bananas and oranges on the counter really started to haunt me! However I pushed thru. I had my snacks of cottage cheese and oatmeal with egg whites and then did Upper Fix before dinner..however I came upstairs to find these!!! I wondered why i was smelling fresh baked cookies while i was exercising! Though I actually thought I was daydreaming haha!!

The good news is that I passed on all of these! But I found it so funny that my hand was naturally ready to grab a cookie at the immediate site of it..while I was already eating my dinner! What was the point of that?? My point is that even as coaches we are all human!! And the struggle is real my friends! It's not about "go ahead and just eat one, you only live once"..it's that I made a commitment to myself for 21 days..and i KNOW that I CAN and WILL succeed :) 

I want to see how far I can push myself..how I can test the ultimate limits to the EXTREME! 

On to Day 3..an EXtreme Plan day..yay my two yellow containers and 2 fruits are BACK!! Ahh the joy of carb cycling :)

Week 1 Day 1 of 21 Day Fix Extreme, Countdown to Competition Plan!!

So here I am, it's approaching the end of Feb. and March is fast approaching.  Which means spring break aka bikini season is even coming FASTER!! Our group started 21 Day Fix Extreme two weeks ago and these workouts have been kicking my butt!! But there has been ONE problem, I have had multiple birthday celebrations, parties and Valentine's Day..so that means my food plan has not been 100% on point, ugh!!!

So today, I committed along with over 2,100 other coaches to the CTC plan (aka Countdown to Competition) Plan.  This is serious business kids..this plan alternates carb depleting days with the Extreme Food Plan, which in itself is serious enough ;) But to me this plan is also called The Countdown to Cancun plan, as our Team BeachBody Success Club trip is approaching fast!! 52 days to be exact!! (insert happy thoughts)

Here is an example of carb depleting days:
Breakfast:  Egg veggie cups
Snack:  Steel cut oats with 1 teasp. natural peanut butter
Lunch: Ground turkey with chopped veggies
Snack:  Shakeology with 1 teasp. coconut oil and 1 teasp. almond butter
Dinner:  Flank Steak with mushrooms and onions

Water: 4 liters

On my carb depleting days, I can eat 3 veggies/6 proteins/1 yellow (carb) and 3 teaspoons of fat or oils.

I was pleasantly full throughout the day and ate every 2-3 hours :)

Now onto the workout, tonite me and the hubby tackled Plyo Extreme.  I think the hubs is gonna have a hard time walking tomorrow, good thing his wife is a coach to help push him harder and harder :)

So you think the Extreme is all boring foods?
Think again!!!

Here's a great sweet treat!

Shakeology pudding from 21 Day Fix Extreme!
1 1/2 scoops chocolate Shakeology
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 medium banana
1 avocado
Blend until smooth.

Makes four servings....containers=1/2(red,blue,yellow) enjoy!!!

Thinking of joining me on this Extreme meal and fitness plan? Come join ME!! I have a great FB group going on now and they are bringing serious results!!!

I am so excited that the 21 Day Fix Extreme is here!! While everyone knows how much I love Shaun T., when you have a bad knee/hip all that jumping really takes a toll on the body day after day! I am so happy though that I finished Insanity Max 30 over the past 60 days (yay ME!) and can now bring my weights back (mama loves her weights) :) Plus, I just really miss Autumn! She is one tough cookie, and I truly enjoy her workouts!!!
