Summer Fitness Party Challenge

I CAN'T believe it's the end of April  ALREADY!!! This Summer my calendar is booked with events from birthday parties, baby showers, bridal events, 10 year class reunion, swim team, and Summer Vacation is right around the corner!! But one thing that is non-negotiable for me is my fitness and nutrition! In order to keep up with this busy schedule, spend time with my family, have the energy to run around with my 9 year old son, 2 1/2 year old daughter and hang out with my friends I need to put my health and fitness first! As a busy wife, mom and full time dental assistant I want to show you how you can also have a healthy balance in your life too!!

So as your Beachbody Coach and someone who LOVES working out and Eating Healthy I have decided that options are the way to go! Not everyone loves the same workouts, meal plans, recipes and motivational style. So that's why options are really important. What I do keep the same, is MY commitment to you! That is, I will help you set realistic, measurable, timely health and fitness goals and we will work together to achieve them one day at a time. We will work together for however long it takes, good, bad and ugly!!!

So what are your options?

You can join one of my Summer Fitness Party Challenge and together I can mentor you through a fitness or nutrition program and help you transform your life into one that is healthier, more energetic and confident. You can be surrounded by other people who want to do the same and never feel like you are alone in your struggles. You can log into our closed group and receive the BEST support and guidance and really get amazing results on your own time!

Your first option is to do a 60 day fitness program. This month I will be starting one at the middle of the month as well as beginning of April. You will have the ability to workout on your own in your home to one of Beachbody's fitness programs which I will help you choose the right one for you. In this group we will discuss fitness tips, healthy eating, meal planning, recipes and more! Summer Fitness Party Challenge group will begin Monday April 6th.  

Your next option is to do a 30 Day Shakeology and Clean Eating Group. This group is great for someone who isn't ready to commit to a fitness program but still wants to change their eating habits. It's for someone who wants to learn more about clean eating and wants to give Shakeology a try. I will work with you on your weekly meal plans, recipes, motivation and tips. I will share how I plan my weeks, prepare my snacks, deal with traveling, social gatherings and much more. This group is all done through the closed facebook group as well.

The third option is to join my team as a Beachbody coach! I am starting a unique mentoring program for new coaches who are ready to learn about the business and take the next step. This program is 60 days long and will require a few hours of your time each week. I will have a closed group where I will mentor, support and guide you for 60 days to teach you my successful business strategy plus the tools of the trade from other top coaches in the industry! For more information on how to be a part of the 60 day apprenticeship program please contact me NOW!

 So now that you have heard the options it's time for YOU to ask questions! The best way for you to figure out what program is best for you is to contact me. What I will do is ask you some questions to find out what your own personal health and fitness goals are. I also want to know what workouts and weight loss programs have you done in the past. What worked and didn't work? Why do you want to do this challenge group? How much time do you have to devote to working out each day? Lastly, what workouts do you like to do? Do you like Zumba, Strength training, running, aerobics, ect...? By us having this discussion I can really determine if this program will work for you! I am not afraid to be honest, because I truly want to help you.

So it's ok if you ask all the questions and decide it's not your thing! But at least you explored your options.
So before you go joining a gym and paying out the wazoo for something you may use for 2 weeks and then be done with, give this a shot! It just might change your life, FOREVER!!!!

Shakeolog Shake and Share with friends family and coworkers

Shakeology shake and share with family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers. It is time to step out of your comfort zone and meet like minded people and share your success. Shakeology is the healthiest meal of the day. It is the one meal or snack each day that I don’t have to plan for! I don’t have to worry because I know everything I need is in Shakeology. Shakeology is not just another protein shake it is loaded with 70+ super foods. It come in chocolate, tropical strawberry, greenberry and even vegan options. It gives me energy; helped with my cravings and not to mention for the first time in my life I have real fingernails!!!! I have made a Check list of items that you may want to take to a shake in share.
Table, PB2, Bananas, Almond milk, orange juice, strawberries, ice, small cups, blender, workout DVD's and books, Flyers, Business cards, Recipe calendar, Turbofire shirt or Insanity earned it shirt, photos before and after, tape measure, fat caliber, lap top, phone, IPad, small DVD player, shaker cups for anyone that makes an order.

Before you Shake and Share you may want to take some time to plan what shake recipes you will be making. Take a small DVD player to hook up to a TV so that you can play some of your favorite workouts. Put the before and after photos next to each other. I like to take a tape measure so that you can explain the importance of using the tape measure verses the scale. A lap top computer can be used so customers can place their order on the spot. I like to use the IPad to show YouTube videos. Make sure that you have plenty of different kinds of flyers with your contact information. I also like to have a flow chart with the prices os Shakeology with shipping and the prices of Shakeology for Coaches with free shipping. This way you may be able to sign up a few discount coaches. Bring a ton of energy because you are going to rock your shake and share! If you have any questions please feel free to ask at the bottom of the blog. Thanks Karissa Rawlins

Flatout makes pizza crust, flat sandwhich bread hungry girl, wraps and more.  They also make differet flavors. When we made the pizza it is fun if you have your children help that way they are more likely to eat it!
Today as I was shopping I found this bread over in the bakery. The name of this bread is Flatout. Flatout makes pizza crust, flat sandwich bread hungry girl fold it, flatout flatbread wraps and more.  They also make different flavors. When we made the pizza it is fun if you have your children help that way they are more likely to eat it. We baked the flatout thin crust spicy Italian for 3.5 minutes on 400. Then we laid the turkey pepperoni and put the pizza sauce on top of the pepperoni. This is a hard task but helps to keep the bread from getting soggy. Next we laid shredded block mozzarella on top. You can sprinkle garlic and Italian to taste. I recommend shredding your own cheese because the bag cheese has a powder on it. The block cheese taste better, is better for you and cheaper! If you have an older child shredding the chesse is a great way for them to be involved. This pizza was a huge hit! I ate my shredded chicken salad with grapes and apples on the flatout wrap. The shape of the wrap was perfect! I will no longer by mission carb wraps or Arnold’s flat bread. I am in LOVE!!!

Super baby food Avocado by Ruth Yaron

I was introduced to a great book 2.5 years ago Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron. This book is absolutely everything your baby and toddler, from starting solid foods to age three. Includes more than 350 quick, easy, delicious and nutritious recipes and thousands of money saving Ideas and time saving child care and kitchen tips. I highly recommend this book! This book will give you a couple of pages per fruit and vegetabe the page will explain when to introduce the foods, how to pick the food, how to cook and store the food. In this book you will see that they say your baby can have mashed avocdos at 4 months. I know that is early but I did it and to this day my little girls still loves avocado. I use avocado in place of butter when cooking and Use it as Mayo when making tuna or chicken salad Healthy substitute link ***Note Do not mix avocado until you are ready to eat because it will turn brown. Making up your baby food once a week and even some items for the month is worth the work of having a toddler that loves to try new foods and eats healthy. Learn to make baby food with ice cube trays and storing. Indroducing your child to healthy food before the age of 3 will make them less likely to be scared to try new foods as they get older.

Here are ten reasons to do just like I do and eat  avocado:

Prostate Cancer Prevention
Avocados have been shown to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer.

Oral Cancer Defense
Research has shown that certain compounds in avocados are able to seek out pre-cancerous and cancerous oral cancer cells and destroy them without harming healthy cells.

Breast Cancer Protection
Avocado, like olive oil, is high in oleic acid, which has been shown to prevent breast cancer in numerous studies.

Eye Health
Avocados have more of the carotenoid lutein than any other commonly consumed fruit. Lutein protects against macular degeneration and cataracts, two disabling age-related eye diseases.

Lower Cholesterol
Avocados are high in beta-sitosterol, a compound that has been shown to lower cholesterol levels. In one study, 45 volunteers experienced an average drop in cholesterol of 17% after eating avocados for only one week.

Heart Health
One cup of avocado has 23% of the recommended daily value of folate. Studies show that people who eat diets rich in folate have a much lower incidence of heart disease than those who don't. The vitamin E, monounsaturated fats, and glutathione in avocado are also great for your heart.

Stroke Prevention
The high levels of folate in avocado are also protective against strokes. People who eat diets rich in folate have a much lower risk of stroke than those who don't.

Better Nutrient Absorption Research has found that certain nutrients are absorbed better when eaten with avocado. In one study, when participants ate a salad containing avocados, they absorbed five times the amount of carotenoids (a group of nutrients that includes lycopene and beta carotene) than those who didn't include avocados.

Glutathione Source
Avocados are an excellent source of glutathione, an important antioxidant that researchers say is important in preventing aging, cancer, and heart disease.

Vitamin E Powerhouse
Avocados are the best fruit source of vitamin E, an essential vitamin that protects against many diseases and helps maintains overall health.

Easy healthy Shakes and Shakeology recipes

I have been Drinking Shakeolgy for 2 full months! I have had vegan tropical strawberry and Chocolate. I love love love the Chocolate! You can do so much with the Chocolate. There are many Recipes to make! I love making the Shakeology Twilight and PB and J shakes! I use the PB2 instead of peanutbutter and it taste just as great. I know that my homemade shake may not sound yummy but take me word for it...It is YUMMY and health. 1 cup almond milk unsweeten. 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, Raw honey to sweeten, you can play with the flavors as for imitation flavoring has a pretty big selection also PB2 is an option. I love mixing a 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract with 3-4 strawberries. blend in your blender with 4 cubes of ice. I have a bullet but any brand will work. Egg whites are a key healthy benefit to my fitness journey. Egg whites no choesterol, high protein, low calories, no fat. My little secret Egg whites help keep me from getting sore. I am never sore after my workouts. If I am not going to drink both shakes in 1 day I will add Egg whites to my shakeology.
