Frumpy to FIT ----> for FALL!

I am SO proud of these pictures!

Doesn't it make you want to give them a big giant HUG for accomplishing something "TOUGH" ??!?

These are the girls I am looking for. 

The ones who think WEIGHT LOSS or confidence in their own skin is a very DISTANT concept. The ones who think they have to feel uncomfortable forever because they "just can't lose weight."

I'm looking for them because I USE TO BE THEM!

Are you someone who would be SO PROUD of yourself if you dropped 10-15lbs? It's not really about the actual POUNDS as it is about how you feel at your current weight -- its just not good. 

Can you relate?

You need to join me in my September 29th Challenge. Seriously. You do.

Why 10-15lbs? Because that's the place I find myself ... when I've gotten a little LAZY.... a lot less intentional, and just plain fell OFF the wagon.

I was VERY doubtful that a HOME workout program would make me lose the inches I lost and more so I was doubtful that the stubborn number on the scale would move.

But... 21 days later - it did! Two different times with 2 different 21 day programs. IT CAN BE DONE!

21 Day FIX is my VERY favorite program. 

Its short & sweet.

You eat normal food.

You don't have to guess and spend HOURS meal prepping.

It's simple. It's fun. 

There are many other programs we can choose from for you too... 

No matter what Beach body Program you choose..... You will have one on one support, a FUN group, nutrition tips and meal ideas, you WILL tone and tighten your body -- BEFORE all those HOLIDAY pictures!

I'm looking for just TEN women this time.

We are starting on SEPTEMBER 29th... last day to get committed is September 22nd... so lets get you all set up!

Holidays are A COMIN' !! You can be READY and CONFIDENT or you can HATE those family pictures for years to come... 

So... I'm taking the TEN most serious - first comers. 

My goal is to use YOUR before & after pictures on my blog to help encourage OTHER women!

The women you see here in this picture -- those results were ALL accomplished with a Beachbody HOME workout + Shakeology!

If you want to be considered for one of my spots: APPLY HERE!

Touch base with you soon!!! I'm excited to help you get started!

XOXO,

Brittany

PiYo - by Chalene Johnson

When I first heard of PiYo, I had no clue what it was all about. I knew it must be awesome, because Chalene Johnson is awesome, in my eyes at least. She is one of the best fitness experts in the US today and the world seems to agree with that. She created PiYo about ten years ago and says it is like “yoga or pilates for hyper people.”

 

 

She is a New York Times best selling author of PUSH, creater of the FREE 30 day push online (www.30daypush.com) and creator of Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, & ChaLEAN Extreme. PiYo is especially designed to add flexibility and strength to the body. This is a mixture of intense and unique choreography that is fun, challenging and result oriented.

 

 

I’ve done my research on the topic and was surprised to see the benefits of PiYo. This technique by Chalene works on core and abdominal strength while adding stability to the body. I was able to do a PiYo workout at this year’s Super Sunday event through Beachbody. I did it along side 2 friends and we all had a GREAT workout!

There is news about PiYo possibly being available through a DVD program SOON!! Also, you can become PiYo certified if you’d like!!

The mixture of energy with the moves worked well and is a good blend. It will keep you motivated so that you give your best and don’t get bored. It ensures that you STRETCH… which, let’s be honest, most people SKIP that part!

 

 

The exercises are truly unique and are bound to give good results. I was sweating a TON at the end of my first PiYo workout! I am sure you will love it too!

Plus, Chalene Johnson, is just AWESOME!

Importance of Meal Timing with Fitness

When it comes to food, there are a few things that are very important: what we eat and when we eat. The timing gets to decide a lot of things. We have been taught that we should be eating a ‘breakfast, lunch and dinner’ every day… but as any FITNESS magazine will tell you – this is not ideal.

 

“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.” –Francois de La Rochefoucauld

 

What you are eating will directly affect your body! Cardio & lifting ALL day will not help you achieve your goals if you are not eating properly. Proper nutrition has a huge impact on your health, your body’s ability to fight disease & illness, achieving a desired weight, or building a certain muscle tone.

I am following the Body Beast Nutrition plan – and I aim for 5 or 6 meals per day. Each meal includes the mixture of the three primary macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates & fats. Now, don’t worry too much about the nutrition lingo – just think about what you are eating and if one of those categories is WAY higher or WAY lower than the others – you should re-evaluate your eating plan. These three nutrients work together to build muscle & strip fat.

Here is a sample of what my typical eating looks like for the day according to the Body Beast eating schedule:

Workout

Post Workout Drink (immediately after workout)

Wait 1 hour:

Breakfast: usually 2 whole eggs & 4 egg whites, sometimes with salsa OR fruit and 1 piece of Ezekiel toast.

Wait 2-3 hours:

Beast-O-Matic Shake: Shakeology (+ ½ scoop of Hardcore Base Shake) with water, ½ banana, ½ tablespoon peanut butter.

Wait 2-3 hours:

Dinner: normally a lean protein & a ton of veggies

Wait 2 hours:

Snack: optional (almonds (5), ½ porton Shakeology, greek yogurt)

 

If you are following the Body Beast plan you are most likely trying to hit a certain number of calories every day – this is a very new approach to me. Normally, I do not count calories. Normally I eat 5 small portions of lean protein and veggies throughout the day – 6 days a week – with a cheat meal once a week – and at least 75oz. of H2O daily.

 

 

But, the Body Beast eating plan is a lot of food! If you are trying to increase your size, your body needs to materials to make it happen! FOOD! CLEAN FOOD!

 

No matter what plan you are following here are some basic rules to follow:

1.       Drink at least ½ your body weight in OUNCES of H2O!

2.       Do not go any longer than 4 hours in between meals (2-3 hours is ideal).

3.       Try to keep SIMPLE CARBS to a minimum (and if weight loss is your goal – keep carbs before 2pm).

4.       Be sure you are eating enough protein.

5.       If your brain tells you that you are “HUNGRY” try drinking a few glasses of water FIRST – dehydration can feel like hunger to the brain.

6.       Pay attention to your cravings. Why are you craving? Are you stressed? Did you eat ENOUGH healthy foods throughout the day? Are you bored? Figure out your patterns & break them.

7.       Don’t keep JUNK FOOD in the house – set yourself up for SUCCESS!

8.       Try to eat as soon as you wake up in the morning (a HEALTHY breakfast) or very soon after your workout.

9.       Do not consume SUGARY LIQUIDS all day long – this is a SURE way to gain unwanted fat.
 

10.      Give yourself GRACE if you “mess up” – this is a lifestyle change – NOT A DIET.
