Transformation Tuesday - Angela F - Lifestyle Change

This is Angela and she started her journey 9 Months ago with Beachbody. She started out doing the 21 Day Fix. She was post baby #2 happy she had a baby girl, but unhappy with the weight she gained while pregnant. She was over 200 pounds and did not feel comfortable in her own skin.

Since she started the 21 Day fix (9 months ago) She has lost almost 50 pounds. She feels more confident and strong, she is back to working out, running, and feeling sexy in her own skin!

So how did she do it? She did it by changing her lifestyle. She started with the 21 Day Fix and Shakeology. Yes she was breastfeeding and yes she had to go up a bracket but she still continued to lose weight, while still providing her body and her daughter with the nutrients they needed. She started to see the weight steadily decrease. After 3 rounds of the fix, she moved to PiYo, then the fix extreme and now she is doing Body Beast.

She not only fell in love with her new body and confidence, she fell in love with Beachbody, the programs and shakeology!! Why? Because they work! They aren't a quick fix, they teach you about lifestyle changes and nutrition. Since then she has become a coach and is now helping others get healthy and happy!!

Health and Fitness Tip #7 - When to weigh yourself

When to weigh

Before you start your following your fitness and clean eating plan, weight yourself and take your measurements. Once you have been doing your fitness regimen for a week you are ready to weight yourself. You want to start tracking your progress (and make sure pesky pounds don't find their way back on). It's best to step on the scale in the morning before eating or drinking—and prior to plunging into your daily activities. For the most reliable number, be sure to check your poundage at a consistent time, whether daily or weekly. Also DO NOT weigh yourself daily!!! Weigh yourself every 1-2 weeks and measure yourself too.

Newly Wed Tip #4 - Give your spouse 1 night

Newly Wed Tip #4 - Give your spouse 1 night! What does that mean? Allow them one night to do what they want, eat what they want, and go where they want. (Date night but of their choice)

I love to cook, so I do all the meal planning and prep for the week. I plan ahead so I always plan and prep on Sundays. However, I only prep and plan for 6 nights. I plan and prep Sunday - Friday and then the morning and afternoon of Saturday. I do not prep and plan for anything on Saturday night. Why? Because Saturday nights I allow for my hubby to choose. If he wants to go out we go out, if he wants to stay in we stay in, if he wants to drink beer, I drive, etc. I am all about fitness, working out, and eating clean and Rich supports me 100% of the time, but guys like to eat and drink their beer, so I give him one night to have a treat meal and to enjoy his beer. When I do go out with him, sometimes I choose to have  treat and sometimes I choose to eat cleaner. But whatever I do, I allow him to pick the place where he wants to go and then I pick what I want to eat when we are there.

Yes, something as small as this, allowing him to choose one night, goes a long way and this one night will allow your hubby to continue to follow your weekly plan, knowing they get one night to choose the meal.

No, I don't like going out, but not because its not clean and I don't want to gain weight, but because I have celiac's and its hard to go to restaurants and not get sick due to cross contamination. Trust me, if I could have a cheat meal when we go out I would, but a lot of the times I am stuck with  piece of chicken or a salad because they will not be contaminated or are least likely to be contaminated by gluten. BUT, I do it, I go out, I have a meal with him, because that is what he wants and I get what I want 6 out of the 7 nights, so its only fair. And yes I am the DD, I don't drink very often, if at all anymore and I want everyone to be safe, so I don't mind being the DD so that he can enjoy his beer and relax after a football game or even at the school. I know he would do the same for me.

So ladies, as tough as it might be to allow your husband to choose the night out / date night, give it to him. It will go a long way in your marriage. And I have noticed that with Rich, it allows for him to learn to appreciate my cooking more and how he feels better on it then the restaurants.

Foods that will set your Metabolism on Fire and Boost your Energy All Day

3 foods that set your Metabolism on Fire and Boost your Energy All Day

 

 

1.    Steak/ Lean red meat: Recent studies show that you should eat lean red meat ONCE per week.(not everyday) Red meat contains creatine monohydrate, a common ingredient in body-building supplements. This nutrient helps your body use ATP to aid in the muscle-building and toning process, which in turn leads to a higher metabolism!

 

2.    Turkey: Turkey is a diet necessity. It is a great source of lean complete protein which helps you stay focused, and helps build muscle and helps increase your metabolism. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that the amino acid tryptophan (found in turkey) plays an important role in immune function, and in cancer prevention. As an added bonus, eating turkey also releases “happy hormones” such as serotonin into your blood stream, which actually has been shown to improve your mood.

3.    Vegetables: Vegetables are NECESSARY for maintaining a high metabolism, and contain high-quality fiber, vitamins, and minerals that you won’t be able to find in any pill or health supplement out there. Veggies are also extremely low in calories, so feel free to sneak extra veggies into your diet whenever you can!!

 

 

 

What is motivation without action?

Motivation without action leads to self-delusion!

You can't just say your motivated or you want to do it! You have to take action! You have to take that first step in doing what you want or doing what your motivated to do!! Because if you don't then your motivation is just a delusion in your head!!

Today stop saying tomorrow or I will or I want to! STOP talking and start acting!! Get up and go workout, throw the junk food out of your house and eat clean, Smile and say positive affirmations daily so you can be happy, search for a new job so that you can quit yours! Jump!!! Take that leap of faith and start doing it!! I believe in you and know that you can leap and fly to great places!!!
