Challenge Group Starting Preseason April 13!

A little over 2 years ago I was over 300lbs. I was very sick because of my weight - had diabetes, congestive heart failure, etc, and it was even putting a strain on my marriage. My doctors didn't think I’d make it to 30. I had been overweight my entire life but it seemed to bloom after I lost my parents to cancer. I was missing out on life and I didn’t have much going for me but I had determination - and I was determined to loose weight. I started off slow, walking at first but then I realized I needed something more. I decided to give TurboFire a try and I joined my first challenge group, where I received support, motivation, help with clean eating, and found a group of others just like me. It wasn’t easy. I wanted to quit more times than I can count. But just when I wanted to quit and turn off the DVD, Chalene, the trainer, would come on and say things like, “you’re not tired,”and how she believed in me and wanted me to push harder, so I did. I’m so glad I didn’t give up because today I’ve lost 200lbs. I truly am living free now; I’m not tied down by all the health issues that once ailed me. I not only “found the new me” physically but also mentally – I’ve discovered my passion, which is helping others. So now I am a health and fitness coach, where I run FREE private challenge groups, help with meal plans and grocery lists for my challengers, helping them reach their goals. And, I'm forming my list for next month's challenge group - are YOU in???? 

 Feel free to fill out the form below if you're interested . You don't need to already own a program - I can help you choose one based on your goals. So let's chat! Start your journey to the new YOU and come do it with the support of others like you!

Dirty 30 Extreme Review - 21 Day Fix Extreme



21 Day Fix Extreme- the latest program from Beachbody - has to be among my all time favorite workouts and programs. The nutrition program is so simple to follow that I feel like I wasted time counting calories on previous programs I've tried. In a previous post, I mentioned how I lost 7inches in 3 weeks with this program. So...maybe that's why I decided to do another round of this program.


I mean, is there anyone out there that actually likes counting calories? I know I sure don't. It makes eating feel like a mathematical equation and math is NOT my cup of tea. And the beauty of this program is just that: you DON'T count calories but instead count colors - the colors of the portion controlled containers, that is. And, if counting calories wasn't something you liked, then I'm sure measuring your food isn't something you enjoy, either. So guess what - you don't have to do that, either with this program because it's already done for you. You just place your food in the appropriate colored portion control container and that's it!! What's not to love about that?!?!

But if you're a 21 Day Fix graduate, you already know this! And there are a few differences between the Fix Extreme and regular Fix, which I've posted below for you.




But let's get down to the tough part: the workouts. I'm sure for those of you who aren't familiar with this program, that is the biggest question. I know it was for me. I saw the infomercial and read up on it but I wondered what it was the workouts really involved - and most of all....was I in shape enough to do them?



I'm not in the greatest shape. Nor do I have a six pack, chiseled abs, or legs of a warrior. I'm just me. I'm far from perfect, by any supermodel standards. I have a ton of excess skin from massive weight loss . My doctor says I have at least 15lbs of skin just on my abdomen alone, so it makes it extra challenging for me to do a push up or hold a plank. I mean, imagine if you had a 15lb dumbbell attached to your belly - would you still be able to do your workouts flawlessly?

I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining. I'm not. I know I'm not perfect and I'm okay with that. It's better than where I used to be and I gladly accept my body and all its imperfections but...I still didn't feel in shape enough. So, that was one of my reasons for doing this program.

With that said, though, I probably wouldn't recommend this program to those who still do push ups on their knees or can't hold a plank as there are a lot of moves that require full push ups and doing things while holding a plank and even the modifications don't go to their knees. But if you're okay with that, then by all means, go for it. I just have a type A personality and know that for myself I would want to be able to do at least what the modification is.


The Workout


Dirty 30 Extreme - your legs and shoulders will be on FIRE after this workout. But that's not all of the muscles that you will work. Like most of the workouts in 21 Day Fix Extreme, Autumn doesn't just workout one group of muscles but at least two. When you squat, you're also working out your shoulders. And when you lunge, you come up for bicep curls.



Like all of the other workouts in this program, Dirty 30 Extreme is 30 minutes in length, with a warm up, cool down, and Autumn's favorite...the bonus round, where she works your abs and shoulders through a plank move. 



Within the first 5 minutes, or rather in the first move, I was sweating and heavy breathing. I definitely felt this workout..but that means it's working, right? How can we expect to get better if we aren't sore from pushing ourselves?



What is needed for this workout?


Water, and heavy, medium and light weights.


Is there floor work?


Yes, in the form of planks.


Is there cardio in this workout?


No, but the exercises will get your heart rate up if you are using the correct amount of weights.


Are there modifications?


Yes, there is someone you can follow for modifications.


Is this a leg day?


Yes but all body parts are worked - abs, back, shoulders, biceps, legs, and more.


Can you do doubles?


It is advised not to do doubles since this is an extreme workout. Otherwise, overtraining might occur which means there is a good chance of injuries.

Are there water breaks?


Yes they last 10 seconds between each move.


Would you recommend this workout? 


Yes! This is one of my favorite programs and routines!


**If you have any other questions, feel free to comment below or send me an e-mail!

Thin Mint Shakeology Recipe

I don't know about you, but I LOVE thin mint cookies. I've been strong enough to say no to the Girl Scouts that suddenly appeared outside my grocery store. And I must say, it was HARD! One day I did a major no-no and went shopping hungry so that day was even harder! But even though I said no, here I am daydreaming about those darn cookies! So, I knew that in order to beat this craving, I had to come up with a healthier version of what I was craving. The result was: Thin Mint Shakeology! 

If you haven't heard or tried Shakeology - you're missing out! It's a super food protein shake that comes in 6 flavors (even vegan flavors if that's your thing)! One serving is also your vegetable servings for the day. So, if you don't like veggies, this is for you! And best of all, it tastes like a dessert. What could be better than that?

My 21 Day Fix Extreme Results - Round 1!!

Wow! This workout is no joke! For 21 Days, I committed to 30 minutes of exercise a day (yep, that's right, NO REST!!) and also to the rock solid nutrition plan that didn't allow any cheat meals!! Yikes!

Okay, so I admit I caved a couple of times and had a cheat here and there so I know my results aren't all that they could have been but they still surprised me...in a good way. It wasn't really visual results for me but more so the measurements. Like, jaw dropping, have to retake it again kind of surprise.

And I do have to apologize, I know I'm not the best photographer. And, I'll admit - I was a bit skeptical at exactly what results I'd have in 21 Days. I thought I was at goal weight and had loose skin from massive weight loss so I really didn't think I had anything left to lose. But here's the photo.



And my photo contains some spoilers but here are the results:

In 21 Days, I:

  • LOST 7 Inches overall
  • LOST 3% body fat
  • GAINED 3.2lbs of muscle
I can definitely tell a difference in my legs! Last year I had a health scare and was out of commission for a few months. I ended up losing a ton of muscle mass. Even when I started exercising again, it didn't come right back. I struggled to go up and down stairs and even had to take breaks doing so. Now after doing just 1 round, stairs are no problem at all! It is such an amazing feeling to not only get my strength back but to feel stronger than I've ever been before. Thanks 21 Day Fix Extreme!

Super Mocha Icy Pops Recipe

I don't know about you but personally, I LOVE ice cream and warm weather. Unfortunately, ice cream DOESN'T love my body. But there's just something about sitting by the pool or at a BBQ, enjoying a nice, cool treat. Here in California, it gets into the 110 degree range in the summer so I have to find ways to keep cool. 

I know with this lifestyle change it means things like not eating ice cream every day. It's okay once and awhile. I'll admit from time to time, I use it as my one cheat meal per week. But the foodie in me wants it more than that time. So what's a girl to do? I don't like depriving myself as that has led to overeating of the bad stuff in the past so in order to curb my cravings, I have to find a healthy alternative. Luckily, these Super Mocha Icy Pops does the trick!! And it's SUPER EASY to make! Who doesn't love food that is easy to make?!?!? All you need are Popsicle makers and the following ingredients. Just mix the ingredients together, toss some in some Popsicle makers, and freeze!

Let me know if you try this!! I always love to hear from you!!

TurboFire - On Sale for March 2015!!



What is TurboFire?


TurboFire is a crazy-intense and crazy-fun cardio program designed to awaken your inner athlete and help you get a leaner, sexier body - fast! This 90-day program is packed with kickboxing drills, aerobic exercises, and intense intervals perfectly choreographed to the hottest music, so you stay motivated to push hard and get awesome results. Award-winning fitness expert Chalene Johnson (creator of other successful programs like TurboJam and ChaLEAN Extreme) is with you every step of the way, until you're hooked on the adrenaline high, burning tons of calories, and shredding those extra pounds. This is also the main program that I used to help me shed 200lbs and get me featured on TurboFire's Official Facebook page!


Why is it Effective?

The science behind TurboFire is High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) - also known as "Fire Drills" - where you can burn up to 9x more fat and calories than with traditional cardio. HIIT means working out at your max in up to 1-minute intervals, followed by a short rest. This is the kind of athletic training that top athletes do to get in amazing shape, because it ignites the AfterBurn Effect, where your body continues to burn calories long after your workout is over. Just 4 minutes of HIIT can be more effective than 30-45 minutes on a treadmill or stair-climber. The workouts are tough, but there's always a modifier, and Chalene even includes low-impact classes so you can still get incredible results without jumping.

How Does it Work?

Exercising at your max in short (less than 1 minute) intervals improves aerobic and anaerobic energy release and cranks up your body's metabolism to burn calories faster. So you burn more stored body fat to help you recover from the workout.

This occurs because the intense intervals fatigue your muscle groups. In turn, your body works overtime to replenish the tired muscles with oxygen, creating the AfterBurn Effect, which can scorch calories for up to 24 hours after you've finished class.

According to many recent studies, a very intense training program such as HIIT will improve both the aerobic and anaerobic energy release in your body. When you do the Fire Drills in class - otherwise known as HIIT - you're exercising at your max in up to one-minute intervals. As a result, your body cranks up your metabolism and shifts it into calorie-burner mode.

In the period following your class you end up burning more stored body fat to help recover from the workout. This happens because the intense intervals fatigue your muscle groups. In turn, your body works overtime to replenish the tired muscles with oxygen, creating what we call the AfterBurn Effect.

The human growth hormone (aka HGH) is a very powerful substance that's naturally produced by our bodies. Among other things, it's responsible for growth spurts during childhood. But just like other hormones in the body, the production of HGH slows down significantly when we reach our mid-thirties.

In a recent study, researchers found that HIIT can trigger the body to produce more HGH. When the human growth hormone is released during exercise, you wind up burning fat after training. Which means that even though you may be resting, you're still experiencing the calorie-melting benefits of the AfterBurn Effect.

According to the study, in a 30-second all-out effort sprint, this hormone increased in the body as much as 530%, In fact, the growth hormone circulated in the body for 2 hours after this type of high intensity exercise.

What Makes TurboFire Unique?

TurboFire is a high-intensity workout set to the hottest music that pushes you beyond your limits every time. More intense but less "dancy" than Turbo Jam, it can be used as a graduate program for Turbo lovers, or those that just want to have fun while they lose weight. Other extremem programs, like ChaLEAN Extreme and P90X focus on building muscle and burning fat through weight training. TurboFire, along with its HIIT training, helps you achieve your maximum transformation faster than any other cardio program. And unlike Insanity, the TurboFire program can be repeated indefinitely.

Who is TurboFire For?

  • People who want to lose weight and scorch off fat
  • People who want a lean, fit body
  • Fans of Chalene's TurboJam
  • People who want to improve their current fitness levels gradually

What Else You Need:

  • Towel - You're going to sweat a lot so have a towel ready!
  • Water - Sip on water during class and make sure to drink at least 64 ounces or more throughout the day. Water helps replenish your body's essential fluids and flushes out impurities.
  • Shoes - Invest in a good pair of cross-trainers. They absorb the shock from jumping and protect knees and joints while giving your feet support for added agility.

Nutrition Plan


The TurboFire eating plan, like all Beachbody programs, focuses on clean eating and includes 3 meals and 2 snacks. Eating every few hours not only supports your metabolism but also gives you energy to get through your classes. Using the Fuel the Fire book, you'll calculate how many calories you should be eating.

For weeks 5-8, 9-12, 13-16 and 17-20 you'll recalculate this information in order to stay on track as your weight will drop, changing your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate), which is used in the calculation.

When to plan your meals and snacks:
Breakfast: within an hour of waking up
Snack: 2-3 hours after breakfast
Lunch:2-3 hours after snack 
Snack: 2-3 hours after lunch
Dinner: at least 3 hours before going to bed

The TurboFire meal plan is based on a 1,500-calorie daily diet. However, everyone's body is different, which means the calorie intake also varies. So you may need to alter it to suit your needs.The snacks recommended in the TurboFire meal plan contain 100 calories or less. This makes it easy to mix and match snacks to meet your caloric requirements. If your body needs more calories, you can either increase your portions or use meals in place of snacks. Whatever you do, avoid eating fewer than 1200 calories a day. You'll not only lack the proper nutrients to fuel your body but your body could think it's starving and spin your metabolism in the opposite direction, making you gradually put the weight back on.

As your body gets into better shape, it will begin to burn more calories. In turn, you may need to increase the calories you eat to maintain your fitness goals and avoid seeing a plateau in your results. In the simplest sense, when your body's out of shape and has more fat and less muscle, your metabolism is slow. As you begin to eat less, you lose fat, since your body converts it to fuel. Add exercise to this equation and now you start building muscle, which also speeds up your fat loss. More muscle requires more calories to maintain. If you don't eat more, your workouts will suffer and so will your results.

The nutrition book also goes over things like label reading, macronutrients (protein, fat, carbs, etc.), clean eating, healthy eating, calculating calories, meal planning, recipes, healthy tips, how to fill your plate, portions, preworkout foods, beverages, and more.

Who is Chalene Johnson?

Lemon Pepper Chicken Stir Fry - Quick and Cheap!

When money is tight or I'm in a hurry, there is one meal I turn to when I want to stay on track: Lemon Pepper Chicken Stir Fry. It's extremely easy and affordable as well as healthy. And, since I've been doing the 21 Day Fix Extreme lately, I made it 21 Day Fix Extreme- approved as well! It involves 2 green, 1 orange, 1 red, 1 yellow but you can make it to best suit your own nutritional needs. Enjoy!





Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Canola Oil
1 Tsp Ginger, chopped
2 Green Container of Mixed Vegetables
1 Orange Container of Cashews (Note: Cashews are actually a blue container but I didn't feel like counting out the number of nuts and so I just filled it in the orange, which makes it half a blue. Sorry for the confusion!!)
1 Red Container of Chopped Chicken
Lemon Pepper Seasoning to taste
Garlic Salt to taste

The ingredients used you can make what works for you. If you're on a budget and need to use frozen instead of fresh vegetables - go for it! If you're short on time and need to purchase pre-chopped chicken - great! For me, what I did was buy a rotisserie chicken, use frozen vegetables, bought some pre-chopped ginger




Directions:

1. Add oil and ginger to wok and heat over medium-low heat. Stir ginger around until melted.


2. Add in chicken and turn up heat to medium high heat.


3. Add in cashews and stir around.


4. Add in vegetables (green and yellow containers) and stir around. Add in garlic salt and lemon pepper seasoning (optional).


5. Serve and enjoy!
