Holiday Survival 21 Day Accountability Group

Holiday Survival 21 Day Accountability Group

I can’t believe it’s that time again!  Where the heck has 2016 gone?  I feel like I blinked and now we are getting ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.  This time of year is meant to be full of gratitude, thankfulness, good cheer and happiness.  Although, I find that a lot of times we are more stressed out both financially and physically.  We are placing demands on ourselves to buy the best gifts, to look and feel our best and meet everyone’s needs.  That is just not realistic!  Society paints this picture of perfection during the holidays.  You know, the perfect family, the perfectly decorated house, the fit family and everyone is just HAPPY!  Let’s face it…. real life is not like that. My kids are off their routine, they are pumped for Santa so they are not sleeping, we are bribing them to be good for Santa, school is busier, we are all trying to get everything done before the holiday comes.  So guess what happens?  We, you know, the MOM, the woman that holds it all together, the glue in the family… well… we fall apart!  We find reasons why we don’t have time for ourselves.  We are in a hurry 24/7 so we don’t eat healthy, we grab food on the fly, we don’t stay hydrated, we get less sleep and of course the workout goes out the window!  So many people just figure they will start in January when life slows down.

Truthfully, we need to stick together now more than ever!  We have to find a way to keep each other accountable, to stay on track, to keep each other from getting stressed and remember how blessed we are.  It’s time to take charge of you!  You deserve it.

Repeat AFTER Me:  It is not selfish to put yourself first for 30 minutes per day.  It is not selfish to take time to eat healthy.  It is not selfish to kindly decline the endless cookie tray.  It is not selfish to make healthy decisions for your life.

What IS Selfish:  Is not taking care of your body and then having health issues because of something you could control.  Think about how the decisions you make now will affect the little eyes in your life and how it is shaping their beliefs about food, exercise and life.  Our kids are like little sponges and the things that you do and say will become their belief as well.

It’s time to step up and take charge of YOU!  Control the Controllable!  

The Holiday 21 Day Accountability Group isn’t about being perfect.  It isn’t about giving up everything that you enjoy and love over the holidays.  The Holiday 21 Day Survival Accountability Group is about balance, it’s about enjoying what you love and passing on the things that don’t bring you joy.  It’s about making time for you every week and fueling yourself with positivity so that you can be a shining light of hope and thankfulness during the holiday season!

How would you feel if you were healthier, fitter, more positive on December 25th?  Would you be happier, more confident, more patient and thriving?  If so then here is the scoop!  I want you to join me on December 5th for my closed online Accountability & Support Group called the Holiday 21 Day Survival Accountability Group.

• I am going to match you up with a Beachbody fitness program that meets your  needs. We will discuss that and find what is going to work best for you and your ability level.
• Each person is required to commit to 30 days of Shakeology for this group.  This is 1 nutrient dense meal (not a protein shake or weight loss shake) that you won’t even have to plan out or second guess.  It will simplify the meal planning process, give your body good nutrition to boost your immune system, give you natural energy, and help keep you full for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  It tastes great and is easy to take on the go with our busy lives.

Detox the Food Temptations

Lose weight and kick-start healthier eating habits in just 3 days with the 3-Day Refresh. This program is designed to fast track your weight loss by detoxifying and cleansing your system while helping you break bad eating habits. In just 3 days you’ll feel lighter and healthier, without starving.

https://youtu.be/TWBQTy8izdY

What I am going to show you is my three days of what it was like to start and complete the 3-day refresh. First of all I started it on a Monday after a weekend when I knew that I would be more tempted to steer myself off track knowing that I have a family of 6 and kids tend to want yummy things – it’s a fact – so I made sure this would not happen by incorporating this into my work day; I work at a desk job where I can bring food into the office and practically eat whenever I wish.

Simple right! I want to show you an example from what I did for this 3-day refresh. It worked for me. 

So here we go…

DAY 1…my meals:

Here’s my food intake for today.
For dinner I decided on the coconut steamed veggies.

 DAY 2…my meals:

This is what I will eat today. Doesn’t look like much but it kept me from not getting hungry because of the snacks. I can’t wait until my spinach salad tonight, yum!

 DAY 3…my meals:

Ahhh, its the last day. Last night the family had homemade tacos; so hard not to have one or two.
Here’s my food intake for today. Dinner is cucumber tomato salad.

The 3-Day Refresh Complete Kit includes:

SHAKEOLOGY for breakfast — Packed with potent superfoods, Shakeology starts each of your days on the Refresh with Your Daily Dose of Dense Nutrition® to help improve and support all your body's vital functions, while also helping to maximize energy and maintain healthy blood sugar levels (available in your choice of 6 flavors, including vegan options — recommended).*

Vegan Orange Cherry Muffins

Hmmmm, if you’re vegan, you’re probably thinking yaaaaaaas! If you’re not a vegan you’re probably think, um no. But, hear me out. Because I know this is going to sound crazy, but vegan baked goods are some of the fluffiest, moistest, most delicious baked goods I’ve ever tried. And I’ve tried a lot of baked treats.

I made these today for the first time and as I followed the directions in the exact manner I did I noticed how are these gonna be held together without eggs. I also realized these were really filling with less sugar taste, but all natural goodness. I think that something might have to do with the popularization of coconut oil. Coconut and bananas – while it may sound like a weird combo – mimics the egg/butter combo surprisingly well. In this recipe it makes these Vegan Orange Cherry Muffins moist with a tender crumb, not dense and crumbly.

Autumn Calabrese and her brother Chef Bobby Calabrese have rounded out the rest of the recipe using gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, chopped walnuts, sea salt, ground flaxseed, vanilla, maple syrup, orange juice, peanut butter, and of course, orange zest and cherries.

Perhaps the best part? They take just 10 minutes to prep!

FIXATE Vegan Orange Cherry Muffins

Makes 12 muffins

    

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose, gluten-free flour, sifted

1/2 cup almond flour, sifted

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup chopped raw walnuts

1 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup extra virgin organic coconut oil

2 Tbsp all-natural peanut butter

3/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 Tbsp orange zest

3/4 cup fresh orange juice (approx.  juice from 1-2 medium oranges)

2 tsp ground flaxseed

1 cup thickly sliced banana, very ripe (approx. 1 large banana)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 chopped cherries (fresh or frozen)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F.
Spray 12 cup muffin tin with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Combine flour, almond flour, baking powder, walnuts, and salt in a large mixing bowl; mix well. Set aside.
Place oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, orange peel, orange juice, ground flaxseed, banana, and extract in blender; cover. Blend until smooth; approx. 30 seconds.
Add peanut butter mixture to flour mixture; mix until just moistened. Do not overmix.
Add cherries; fold until just mixed.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. (One-quarter cup batter should fill each cup about three-quarters full.)
Bake for 18 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from oven; allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing muffins from pan and cooling completely on a rack.

Fix Container Equivalents:

1 muffin = 1/2 purple, 1 yellow, 1/2 blue, 1 1/2 spoons

Enjoy!

What is core de Force!!! Join my challenge on November 14th!

What is Core De Force?
What could you accomplish in just 30 days? How about getting into knockout shape — with a workout designed to help you drop serious weight, carve your entire core, and leave you feeling empowered!

CORE DE FORCE is the first program from our newest Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews. From strength training to dance to yoga, they’ve helped thousands get fit with all kinds of workouts. And they’ll be the first to tell you… if you want to transform your entire body and shed the belly fat, nothing beats CORE DE FORCE‘s mixed martial arts-style training.

Here’s how it works: each workout is broken into 3-minute “rounds” — just like a real boxing match. In those 3 minutes you’ll alternate between addictive Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai-inspired combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio spikes that kick your fat burn into overdrive. But all that punching and kicking doesn’t just burn calories. Each move, whether it’s a jab or a knee, is rotational, giving you a 360-degree core workout that will tighten up your entire midsection. All you have to do is hit it hard 3 minutes at a time and before you know it — you’re done!

How long are the workouts?  
The workouts are 30-45 minutes in length and you workout 6 days a week with a stretch on the 7th. The workout program is 30 days in length.

There are 8 workouts in the program

MMA Speed- ∫ Upper body and core focused boxing influenced workout. (27 minutes)

MMA Power- Uses explosive and defensive style movements in this fast paced cardio conditioning workout (47 minutes)

MMA Plyo- Core De Force is an MMA style home fitness program that will transform your entire body in 30 days.   When you combine boxing, Muay Thai and plyometrics in one workout you get a huge calorie burn and RESULTS. (47 minutes)

Power Sculpt- Total body burner that uses explosive power and interval training to lean and sculpt.  (37 minutes)

Dynamic Strength- Low on impact but high on intensity. (47 minutes)

Active Recovery- Recharge for the week ahead with this rest day that focuses on form and technique to help fight fatigue and sore muscles. (21 minutes)

What's in the box in of your Challenge Pack!!!

Who should buy the program?

Anyone who wants to tighten up their midsection, carve a stronger core, and sculpt total-body definition. CORE DE FORCE is great for intermediate or advanced exercisers-or graduates of INSANITY MAX:30™, TurboFire®, or P90X®-but beginners and people who are looking for significant weight loss can follow the modifier and drop serious weight too.It’s also a great choice for people looking to try a workout inspired by mixed martial arts. Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews packed CORE DE FORCE with Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai moves that are both effective AND empowering. Those who want to see results fast will also love the program. The high-energy mix of combinations, bodyweight training, and cardio is designed to get you into knockout shape in 30 days.

How much will Core De Force Cost?

The price of the program will vary. What I suggest is purchasing the challenge pack as that is the absolute best value! You will receive the program for a fraction when you purchase it as a challenge pack! The challenge pack will cost $140. It will include a 30 day supply of Shakeology, the full Core De Force program, as well as a meal guide to follow!

What are the Portion Control Eating Plan details?

The Portion Control Eating Plan is not a recipe-based plan like other Beachbody nutrition plans. Here’s how it works: Start by calculating a calorie level based on starting weight. Next, find the calorie chart that corresponds with the calorie level. This will indicate the daily allotment of color-coded containers. From there, the Eating Plan shows a list of foods that can be eaten with each color-coded container. Then, just fill the containers with the foods from the list, up to the daily allotment of the containers. No required recipes. No required number of meals. No required foods or ingredients. If it fits in the container, it can be eaten!
