Shakeology: What the HECK is that, anyways?

6:00:00 PM

ok, let’s get something straight right off the bat… I was a skeptic, so I totally understand and probably know what your thinking. Do I really need this shake? I worked out on and off for years, but I always struggled with nutrition. I was in denial. If someone asked I would say I understood what needed to be done, but in reality I was taking bits and pieces of what I read on Instagram to create my plan. Well, needless to say it wasn’t working. I had reached a plateau and nothing was working. So, after some convincing I decided to try it out. After researching and reading all the information on the Shakeology site I chose the chocolate. I needed that quick fix of chocolate everyday to curb my cravings. At the time, i decided not to go with the coaching plan, because I really didn’t think it was going to make a difference. I received my shakeology order and my first shake I blended ice, 1 cup skim milk, banana, and strawberries. I got better at mixing the shakes as the days went on and now they taste amazing. In my shipment was a calendar of 30 ways to mix Shakeology. I love trying new recipes and I wake up every morning looking forward to another shake.

Shakeology helped me lose the last 15 lbs and now maintain my weight. I drink my shake for either breakfast or lunch. You can make it however you would like. Here is a little background on Shakeology to help you make a better informed decision.

Shakeology is more nutritious than a salad and tastes like a dessert!

What can Shakeology do for you?
How to use it.

Shakeology is a nutritional protein shake that provides a wide spectrum of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula. Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.

Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet. It's good for you, and good for everyone, because everyone's diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving.

Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.

Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.

Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.

Phytonutrients support immune function and have anit-inflammatory properties.

Prebiotics support digestive and immune health.

Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.

It is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be. Shakeology can help you reduce cravings and promote healthy digestion and regularity. Shakeology recomends that you replace one meal per day with a shake along with regular exercise and a balanced diet, participants who did this experienced remarkable health improvements. It can reduce your total cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular risk, and reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals.

I love Shakeology because I am a busy parent and it is a quick and convenient way to get complete nutrition. It supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with the kids and my hectic lifestyle. It is also easier to make and tastier than a salad, and it is an excellent way to eat healthy when eating a full meal is not possible. If you don't like eating fruits and vegetables then this is a great way to get all the benefits of eating a full bowl of fruits and vegetables without having to actually eat them. If you have high cholesterol then this will help you lower total and LDL as well.

It's very simple.

Mix 1 scoop of Shakeology with 8 oz. of water. If you like, add ice. Or if you want something more filling and maybe even more satisfying, blend your Shakeology with ice and nonfat, almond, rice, or soy milk. Shakeology dissolves easily, but blending it will give it a thicker, creamier texture. Honestly, when I make my shakeology I always add more than 8 ounces because I think it's too thick! The more liquid you add the thinner it gets!! 😃

Meal Plan 101

4:19:00 PM

Your nutrition and what you eat is crucial to your results. Which is why meal planning is fundamental part of your routine. This will ensure you stay on track and hit your goals faster. The lack of planning can ruin your success.

Let me start by saying that this is a lifestyle change, not a fad diet that you will yo-yo back and forth from. The idea is to basically eat to MORE healthier foods and have them easily available to you. This will be so you are less likely to indulge, because all your food is easy and can be quickly available. Many of us don’t have healthy food in ready-to-eat portion sized servings so we tend to starve ourselves until we get to the point of starvation which leads us to shovel anything and everything into our mouth.

Meal Prepping can take on many forms. You can prep weekly, monthly, ect. I personally prep weekly because monthly is to overwhelming to me. I also like to start out small and work myself up. So I stat buy planning out my snacks, then breakfast, lunches and finally dinner. Well, I guess dinner and lunch go hand and hand for me. I typically make extra dinner to eat as lunch the next day or for two days. This makes for prepping less items.

How we meal prep can also be different for different people. It is really based on preference and time.

First option: You can spend an afternoon, most of us do it on a Sunday because we work Monday - Friday, but it can be done anytime really. After you make your plan for the week, you get started cooking all your meals. I try to keep the meals simple so I can make 3-4 options for the week. I then take my meals and my snacks portion them out into the serving size that fits my goals. Now everything is easy for me to grab, all my lunches and dinners just needed to be heated up when it is time to eat. Some people don’t like this idea because they don’t like the idea of heating up all the meals for the week. But, then some people LOVE it because the rest of their week is so EASY, because it is all done.

Second Option: This option is more about planning and less about cooking. So after you develop your plan for the week you get to prepping. But instead of cooking a ll the meals you focus on cutting your veggies, cleaning you fruit and cooking a few things that will take a while like potatoes, rice, ect. By cutting veggie and things ahead of time, when it comes to cooking dinner you just have to place it all together, it doesn’t require you to prepare everything. I still go ahead and place my snacks in containers or snack bags already in the portion sized i needed so they are easy for me to grab and throw in my lunch. I started setting up alerts on my phone reminding me to pull the meat out two days before i planned on eating it. One day to defrost in the fridge next day to marinate with juices or spices. When I walk thru the door after a long day it is easy to throw it all together and have a hot meal in usually 20-30mins.

While meal prepping remember to follow many of the guidelines on the nutrition page.

Top 10 Reasons Why to Workout at Home

3:25:00 PM

Many believe that they need to workout at a gym, because of all the fancy equipment, and they believe it is just the right thing to do in order to see results. Well I am here to tell you why working out at home can be a huge benefit to your health.

1. Do you wonder around the gym, because you are not really sure what to do?

Many people sign up for a gym membership and are clueless on how to put a routine together. They will find something they feel comfortable with and they do that everyday. I know this, because it use to be me. Well when you workout at home, you just need to hit play button and BAM your routine is laid out for you.

The TRAINERS, walk you thru all the exercises and they change it up so you are guaranteed results. AND get this… you do not need to pay extra for these personal trainers. It is a WIN, WIN! This is people that have been going to the gym for years begin to see results much faster when working with these programs. Not to mention the programs that I deal with, have a free coach (ME!) to help support you and motivate you.

2. Save money

The average price of a gym membership is $55 a month.  Most people only go a few days a week because that is what they can fit into there crazy schedules. So when you translate this out it comes to a little over $6 a visit. When working out at home you have your initial fee of the discs and you continue to use them as long you would like. The packages range in different prices, but lets just say you purchase a set of DVD’s that is a 90 day program and it cost $75. Even if you still stick to a schedule of twice a week it would break down to cost a little over $3 a workout. The best part is you can repeat these videos as often as you would like. If for some reason you need to take a few weeks off you are not wasting any money on your membership for the month.

3. How much time have you wasted waiting for a machine or a treadmill?

Many people that go to the gym are pretty much on all the same schedules, so it can be very busy if you are working a 9-5 or 8-4 job like many Americans. Gym’s are expecting and hoping most people that have memberships will not show up.  So, with that being said they do not have enough equipment to go around. So you can waste a ton of time just standing around waiting.  At home you are the only one, so NO WAITING! You can continue to work through your routine which allows you to keep your heart rate up, which will give you phenomenal results. By the way, you do not need a ton of fancy equipment to get the results you are looking for. With the money you save from your monthly membership will allow you to purchase a few items for your home workouts.

4. My favorite class is during work hours, UGH! What to do?!?!

When I went to a gym, it drove me crazy that all the classes I would be interested in where only going on when it was impossible for me to go. Now that I have kids this has become even more of a challenge. This is one reason I LOVE to workout at home. I make my OWN  schedule. I choose when it will work best for me. You can get up early, you can stay up late, it doesn’t matter. You don’t need to drag your kids out early. I wake up before anyone is even awake and do my workout, this way it is done and I don’t have any excuses later in the day. Stop letting the gyms control your schedule and get it done on your terms.

5. Grunts, Faces, slamming of the weights… ALLOWED!!

I know you have all seen the commercials of the rules that some gyms have in place. No grunts, no loud noises, some even have a dress code! Are you kidding me.  I am not saying you need to go crazy and workout like the Incredible HULK, but sometimes if I am pushing myself, to get that last rep out I may grunt or same something so that I can motivate myself to get thru that last little rep. When you are dying and you are struggling to finish your workout, you don’t need to be embarrassed by the faces and grunts that you need to make to get thru it.  Sometimes I even go as far as cursing out the trainers on the TV, but that is ok, because they can’t here me. Haha

6. Did you forget to do your laundry, Don’t Worry!

When working out at home you do not need to worry about making a fashion statement. What you wear to workout is your business and no one else's. You can even workout without your shirt on. I am not to confident in my body so I am embarrassed to be prancing around in a sports bra, but I can in my house. You don’t need to worry about matching, if your clothes have rips in them. Profanity clothing is also ALLOWED in YOUR GYM!

7. EWWW… GERMS!!!

Have you ever wondered if the person before you took the extra few seconds and cleaned off their nasty, sweaty germs? Most people don’t, which means you are sitting in there sweaty mess. At home the only sweat and germs left behind are your own. You don’t have to question if anyone left any nasty sick germs behind.

8. Results & Recovery are only steps away.

The first hour after your workout is crucial when it comes to getting in your results and recovery formula. After I am done my workout and I am shaking because I pushed myself and finished an amazing workout, it only takes my about 5 minutes to get my recovery formula in my body. I don’t need to worry about the time it takes me to get changed, or drive to my house, ect. Since, I workout in the morning I like to have a nice wholesome breakfast after I workout, so working out at home allows me the time to cook  a breakfast before I have to run out the door.

9. Shaking from leg day… No Problem!

After working my legs, I feel like I can barely walk. You can take a few minutes and sprawl out on the floor from pure exhaustion. No one will step on you, or better complain and have you get in trouble. Take as long as you need ☺

10. Shower TIME!!!

Jumping in the shower after a great workout is a FABULOUS Feeling! Getting into a hot car when your all sweaty is GROSS, or even worse stepping outside in the freezing cold and trying not to catch pneumonia is no fun either. I just walk from the basement to my bathroom, no walking around in sweaty clothes for lengthly periods of time.  Feel refreshed in a matter of minutes… AHHHHH!
