21 Day FIX : the GO-TO blog for the BEST start! RECIPES * REVIEWS * RESULTS

Hey everyone!!

As you all know... we have been SO excited about the 21 Day Fix... the BRAND NEW Beachbody program designed and introduced to us by Autumn Calabrese. She is a celebrity trainer & national-level bikini competitor. She is a rising star in the fitness community because she is helping SO MANY people lose weight and get fit with a SIMPLE portion control and consistent exercise program. 

So... lets cut to the chase!!! I just finished my FIRST full week of the program. 


It was EVERYTHING I hoped for and more
... really!

So let me just jump in.

FITNESS REVIEW:
I absolutely LOVE the layout of these workouts. 
  • Different workout every day.
  • 30 minutes long. 
  • Active recovery day is YOGA and is SO relaxing.
  • The workouts are broken up into a series of SETS. So... for instance... {in one workout} you will do 8 rounds total. In each round there are 2 exercises... and usually you repeat each exercise twice. Its simple. You have a 10-30 second rest period in between exercises. 
  • There is a GREAT modifier and ALWAYS an option to STEP it up for a greater challenge.
  • Autumn is the PERFECT mix of motivator & cheerleader.
  • Long enough to be CHALLENGED but still quick enough to not be drawn out (no endless chatter).



NUTRITION REVIEW:
This is the most GENIUS meal plan I've ever followed.

  • You eat regular food!
  • Container portion control system is EASY.
  • You can have wine and chocolate ;)
  • You do NOT go hungry.
  • You LEARN how to maintain your results and FUEL your body!
Here are some of my meal examples! This is FUN!

Below is ONE day of FOOD!


Here are some of my other favorites!

Typical Breakfast: 1 red, 1 purple, 1 yellow:

Ezekiel Toast, Turkey Bacon & Strawberries!







 Typical Snack: 1 red & 1 green:


Greek Yogurt with 1 Stevia packet & Carrots!


Typical Lunch: 1 red


Shakeology with water!
...lately I have been drinking the new Strawberry! 



Typical Dinner: 1 red, 2 green, 1 blue:

Baked Chicken, Brown Rice, Green Beans & 1/4 Avocado!


"Dessert" ideas: 1 orange 1-2 tsp:


Raw Sunflower Seeds & Almond Butter! 
{Looks weird but it is YUMMY!}




"Dessert" idea #2: 1 yellow, 1 orange, & 1-2 tsp:


*Poor Girl Butter Cake*

1/2 Whole Wheat English Muffin, Raw Sunflower Seeds & Almond Butter! 
{Looks REALLY weird but it is YUMMY!}



Now let's talk about results....

This is just ONE week in... literally 7 days. 

This is  my friend, challenger, and fellow coach Anna. Follow her on Facebook. She is a mom of TWO and busy military wife. She has some GREAT core progress in just 7 days! Sounds crazy >>> but this program is legit. 


Then there is me... same thing... many inches lost and leaning out for sure! Again.... 7 days!


We aren't perfect & we aren't claiming to be. Just giving credit to this program because it is simple, it is healthy & it is effective. 

Anna & I are both in a category where we don't have a lot of weight to lose (although it is definitely there -- trust me)... but this program is for ALL ends of the spectrum. Girls like me who would love to LEAN out, tone, possibly lose 5-15lbs. And then there are people like Deon. 

He did 10 rounds of the 21 Day Fix and lost 111lbs!!! 

So awesome! And don't forget... there IS an excellent
modifier. There is an OPTION to make it harder. So literally... this is for ALL fitness levels. 

My current Challenge Group is doing such great job! They are living the healthiest they ever have in a COMMUNITY of support. If you are interested in joining umm next group -- contact me ASAP. They ALWAYS fill up but they are the KEY to lasting results!

I cannot WAIT to update you all after WEEK TWO!

Be sure you hit *SUBSCRIBE* on the top right of the blog to follow!

Hope to connect with you on Facebook too!! Regular posting and encouragement there!

Don't be afraid to reach out! I am happy to help however I can! Don't think... OH I could never get results... I promise you... you can. 

Here is a little idea of WHAT my private Facebook Challenge Groups are about!


Thanks for reading!!

More UNIQUE 21 Day FIX approved recipes/ideas to come!

Day 1 of FEBRUARY Challenge Group!

Here we GO!

Day One of my February Challenge Group!

We are doing the 21 Day FIX. BUT.... because of crazy weather... my program won't be here until Wednesday.

So... I had 2 choices.

1. Use that as an excuse to eat a lot of pizza and M&M's until Wednesday.

OR...

2. Get started anyway. SO... I am getting started any way!

Breakfast: 4 Egg Whites, 1/3 cup Oats with Stevia & Cinnamon ... and black COFFEE + H20.

YUM! {really... it was good}

------> 5 more meals to go!

Workout: I am going to do this REP workout that I found on Pinterest with my challengers.



Do it with us!

I am ALSO going to do PlyoFIX tonight. :) Beachbody sent me that workout as a SNEAK PEEK for being an Elite coach. COMING IN HANDY!


As a coach... I do NOT have a perfect body. I don't have ideal measurements, & I am not PHOTO READY (so to speak) all the time. I am ALWAYS moving forward to try to make progress. I'm human! 

So today was DAY ONE for me too.... including BEFORE pictures & measurements.


SO MANY WOMEN rely on the scale to show them progress. I learned NOT to do this. There are so many articles you can GOOGLE to tell you WHY the scale is not the best way to track your progress.

For me, I was a SLAVE to the scale. If the number didn't go down, I was really disappointed in myself & critical. I've learned to use the scale as 1/3 of my check-in system.

My 2 MOST IMPORTANT progress markers are pictures & measurements. I do a WEEKLY picture and take my measurements every 2 weeks.

I am committed to sharing my progress here with you. My goal is a WEEKLY recap with progress pictures. Accountability is the BEST way to stay on track. THAT is why I am doing "THIS" right along with the women in my online challenge group! Thankful for their support!

If you want to join me in an online challenge group ------ FILL THIS OUT!  I host a NEW group EVERY single month!





My COACHES join me and learn the ropes too! They also get a 25% discount on all their Beachbody products. {YES!}



My goals for the next 21 days:

  • LEANER VERSION OF ME!
  • More DISCIPLINED version of ME!
  • PORTION control.
  • Celebrate SMALL victories.
  • Help other women see that THEY can do the same!

Stay tuned! I WILL share it all!

xo,
Brittany

CONFESSION: I am a nurse and a networking marketing professional.

I am NOT ashamed.

Actually... I am incredibly PROUD!

I am incredibly THANKFUL!



I think maybe I was one of the lucky ones.

I knew NOTHING about network marketing (MLM's) or "pyramid schemes" before joining the Beachbody team.

I didn't have a tainted view because of companies like Amway. I never had any experiences with "sale-sy distributors."

I WAS LUCKY.

The more and more I read & learn about my profession... the more I understand WHY people are so skeptical. I don't know that I would be completely ALL IN either if I had to buy a bunch of "STUFF" every month or every quarter just to be eligible for commissions, bonuses, incentives, etc. <---- PS I do NOT have to do that as a Beachbody Coach.

I don't know that I would see the BIG picture if I was forced to maintain a certain level of performance.

Ok... enough complaining :)

What I ABSOLUTELY LOVE about my profession, as a network marketer, is that my success is directly related to the degree to which I am willing to work to find other people like ME who are committed to SUCCESS. I mean really.... it's up to ME.

FYI:

The Direct Selling Association recently celebrated its 100-year anniversary, so it's a tried and true business model that's proven to be solid. Network Marketing is NOT going anywhere. I learned this from Sarah Robbins.

Network Marketing is a profession that PAYS you on your PERFORMANCE. Isn't that how it SHOULD be?

Now ------> I LOVE the nursing field. LOVE it. I will always be a nurse, I just don't want to rely on nursing for my paycheck. Here is why...

As a nurse... I LOVED my patients (as many, not all, of us do). But here is the deal.... I can BUST my butt to give EVERY SINGLE medication, start every bag of fluid, begin each antibiotic, & complete every procedure, RIGHT ON TIME... and no one would notice.

The nurse who works EFFICIENTLY & KINDLY is not paid ANY more (and sometimes LESS) than the nurse who sits in the nurses station eating her bagel, asking her nursing assistant to do everything, and finding a loop hole in the computer system to make it LOOK like all her medications were passed on time.

It's crooked.

The nurse who spends QUALITY time with their patients and family even though she hasn't  sat down in over 7 hours is paid the same (or less) than the nurse who turns her patient phone OFF - because she wants to have about 5 minutes of uninterrupted silence.

Now... I am NOT hating on nurses. I am not claiming to be a perfect nurse. I am just saying...

I WOULD MUCH RATHER BE PAID ON MY PERFORMANCE!

Network Marketing allows me to design a professional life that fits around the rest of my life. It allows me to choose my dream LIFE over a dream JOB.

There was definitely an OLD way of network marketing. It was sale-sy, pitch-y, uncomfortable, filled with pressure, focused on numbers, and up-selling.

This is the NEW face of network marketing.


We are all Network Marketing Professionals. 


What makes us different?

  • We care about PEOPLE.
  • We invest in relationships.
  • We help people even when they don't BUY something.
  • We don't use guilt or pressure to "close a sale."
  • We focus on freedom & adding VALUE to others. 
  • We share with each other, we don't compete.
  • Our products are ones that actually HELP people!
  • We CHOOSE who we work with!


There are so many reasons why I love being a part of this team. These people are some of my very best friends... the more THEY succeed- the more I succeed! 

If I had to choose my DREAM job all over again - I would STILL choose Network Marketing

The BEST part?

The products we offer aren't candles, makeup, or lotions. Those are all great. But our products focus on HEALTH & CONFIDENCE. They change your life. They do. Weight loss and fitness is NOT just about losing pounds or inches. It's about being PROUD of your personal accomplishment, your progress, your journey. Its about being CONFIDENT because you like the way you look. It isn't ALL about outer beauty/physique.... but taking care of your body is important. When you are UNHAPPY with your body - it spills over to OTHER parts of your life.... because you are DISCONTENT

I love helping women find their confidence. I LOVE IT. 

We will have haters. We will have people who do not understand.... and that is OK.  

I can promise you - this group of women here, and many many more, are changing lives, helping others, & achieving THEIR family's dreams. 

I hope you will consider joining my team. It WILL change your life.

Brittany

FRIENDS who workout.

Isn't it SO MUCH fun to have FRIENDS join you in whatever you are doing?

Shopping. Movies. Painting. Vacationing.

----------------------------> WORKING OUT!

Now... let's be real.

Who has TIME to get together with all their friends to workout 5 days a week?

I DO!

Because my friends get together ONLINE and support each other!!



I met these girls here because of a ONLINE Challenge Group I was a part of.

>> IT CHANGED MY LIFE.

How does it work?

Easy...

We all do a HOME workout.
We drink our healthy meal replacement.
We prepare CLEAN meals for the week.
We check in to the PRIVATE online group once a day & share...

>> IDEAS  >> STRUGGLES  >> SUCCESSES

It is so much fun to have the encouragement and support of my friends who are on the SAME journey as I am! They have unique suggestions that help me when I reach an obstacle.

We reach our GOALS TOGETHER and that creates SUCH a strong bond ---> and we are forever friends now!!

We are all coaches now (girls in the picture) because we each had such great fitness results that we wanted to pass it on to other women, and help other women feel the LOVE and support that we experienced!!!

And so.... MONTHLY ONLINE CHALLENGE GROUPS continue!!

If you are interested in some AWESOME girl-friend support... message me soon!! I am SO passionate about helping other women find confidence and HAPPINESS in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

If you are ready to join my next Online Challenge Group go ahead and fill out the application!


 I am looking forward to ALL the women who CONQUER some serious fears and discontent this year!!!

 Looking forward to meeting you!!

xoxo, 
Brittany

Start Your Journey To A Healthier YOU!

Of COURSE you don't need to be ripped or skinny in order to be happy. 

But... Speaking from personal experience, being unhappy with your body & uncomfortable in your own skin can start to affect more than just you and your closet. 

That discontent spills over into other parts of your life...

  • Your confidence
  • Your social life
  • Maybe some of your relationships

....just to share a few from my experience!

I've worked hard in 2013 to develop healthy habits that I can maintain. I'm far from perfect. But perfection was never my goal. I want to live - eat pizza, candy, eat out...etc.

But... I don't want to be a slave to my poor body image.

So, with many many slip ups I have found balance & confidence. I'm proud of my hard work & comfortable in my own skin.

I wish that for every woman.

God designed us and made us in His perfect image. I'm done messing that up 

I hope you'll consider starting a journey like I did this coming new year. You will have to practice some self discipline - but the reward far outweighs the sacrifice!

Make a decision & get healthier! If I can help you with that - just message me! It's what I LOVE to do!
