Do you start each week off planed and prepped? Are you prepared Monday mornings to have a successful week?
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Don't fail to plan this week. Make this week count! Follow these steps and you will plan to succeed this week.
Step 1. Grab that pen and paper and plan out all your meals and snacks RIGHT NOW.
Step 2. Grab another sheet of paper and write down everything you need to buy at the grocery store. Only write down the ingredients you need to make those and meals and snacks.
Step 3. Go to the grocery store and STICK to your list. Stay away from the aisles as much as possible and don't buy anything you don't need. Do not give in to temptation.
Step 4. Prep your meals for the week, especially your dinner! Don't just have the food sitting in the fridge, prep now so you have it already to go. Don't be tempted by a crazy day at work and wanting to go out instead of cook. When you have everything prepped you have no excuses not to eat it.
Step 5. Enjoy. Doing all this might sound like a lot of work. BUT, enjoy the process and know that you about to have an amazingly successful week!
Will you plan to succeed or plan to fail this week?
So I finished up Cize on Saturday and I must say I really wasn't expecting the results I got. I started the program right after summit, where I did not eat the best so I had actually gained weight.
But with a STRICT clean eating meal plan (Ultimate Reset), drinking shakeology, and working out 6 days a week, I am Proud to say I lost 7 pounds!!!
This program is NOT exercise. It is FUN, it is DANCING, and it is STRESSLESS.
The areas of my body that improved the most are my stomach and legs. And my stomach has drastically changed. No more Bloating!!! Whoop Whoop!!
It doesn't surprise me really when I say that my core / stomach is one of the areas of most improvement, WHY? Because Shaun T always does an amazing job with each of his programs making sure he hits your Core. And with Cize you do a LOT of core work while dancing.
Also your dancing, which means you are on your legs the entire time, so my legs definitely slimed down and look leaner.
One bad thing about this program is there is no real upper body workout. You are not down on the ground at all so you arent doing any body weight exercises or weights.
I do tell my challengers to at least incorporate an upper body workout 3 days a week. It doesn't have to be anything long but just so you feel like you get your arms worked.
Anyone can do this program. Its fun and you sweat so you are burning calories and losing weight without the feeling of exercise.
SO if you like to dance, if you like Zumba, if you need something that isn't jumping or lifting weights, something that isn't strenuous on your body, if you hate to workout but KNOW you NEED to then CIZE is for you! It doesn't matter if you can dance or not. You just have to live in the moment and enjoy your time!
I am seriously loving this program no matter how goofy I look or how much I mess up!
You Should definitely check this program out! If your interested email me and we can set up a time to chat or find me on facebook and message me and I will also help you incorporate arm workouts to keep your upper body toned!
EEK!!! I am so excited to tell you that on Saturday, I finished the CIZE program!!! And can I tell you how much I seriously love this program.
I love having a program that is only 4 weeks long. It makes the time fly by, you feel successful sticking to something for 4 weeks straight, and its the perfect summer workout, when you are crazy busy and trying to do 100 things at one time!
AND with this program you laugh, have fun, sweat, and live in the moment!!! Dancing is so freeing! Even if you do stink at it. Trust me, I am probably one of the worst dancers out there but I am having too much fun and getting into it to care!!! Plus I am doing it all in the comfort of my own home, so no one can see me mess up or trip over my 2 left feet!
The final week of Cize is like a Finale of the Fireworks, you do each routine one day. So you start from week 1 and do those 2 routines on Monday and Tuesday, then do week 2's 2 routines on Wednesday and Thursday and then Friday and Saturday are the 2 routines from week 3.
I loved this week the best because it allowed you to do all the routines. PLUS, it showed you how much muscle memory really does play a role. The routines that I thought were hard the prior weeks, actually came much easier to me and I was able to feel like I could add my own groove to it.
So does Cize have to a month long? No you can make it 2 months long if you want to focus on one routine per week.
With this program comes 2 Calendars, Advance and Beginner, but I have clients creating one that we are calling Intermediate. The Beginner calendar has you doing this program for 8 weeks, it has you take each routine and do it for a week straight. The advance Calendar is a month long and it has you doing 2 routines a week, alternating days. However, some of my clients are doing, 2 routines a week but 3 days straight of one routine or until they get a handle on it and then 3 days or 4 days of the next routine. This is what I LOVE about this program. It is geared towards your needs and wants and you don't have to move on till you MASTER that routine.
What about Progression? Does it get harder each week?
Progression, YES each week is a progression. The first weeks routines are easy and basic. There are also not a lot of moves in it and they are repeated A LOT. However, each week he adds more moves and more dynamic moves at that! He he turns it up FULL notch on the last routine, Living in the 8s. That routine I really struggled with, but the greatest thing about this program, is you don't get frustrated with it. When I messed up I would keep going to just break down and have fun and laugh at myself. I struggled with week 3, however, I STILL got an amazing workout and sweat going while trying to not trip over my feet for the week. I was having fun and living in the moment!
SO if you like to dance, if you like Zumba, if you need something that isn't jumping or lifting weights, something that isn't strenuous on your body, if you hate to workout but KNOW you NEED to then CIZE is for you! It doesn't matter if you can dance or not. You just have to live in the moment and enjoy your time!
I am seriously loving this program no matter how goofy I look or how much I mess up!

I don't know about you, but I use to drink vitamin water like it was my job! I loved it, it tasted good! AND I thought I was actually doing my body a favor! WRONGO!!!
Vitamin waters get alot of hype in the media and they say they are GREAT for you, especially if you are atheletic and need to hydrate. UM... NO they aren't great for you!!
Here is an example of one vitamins ingredient list.
Ingredient list:
reverse osmosis water, cane sugar, less than 0.5% of: citric acid, magnesium lactate and calcium lactate and potassium phosphate (electrolyte sources), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), fruit and vegetable juice (color), natural flavors, stevia leaf extract, vitamin B5 (calcium pantothenate), beta-carotene, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), manganese citrate, gum acacia.
The ingredients listed are named to get you hyped about how cool this product is.
For example, it's not just any water being provided - you are getting reverse osmosiswater, whatever that means. Probably better than regular water, right?
Next up - the sugar. Not just any sugar - it's cane sugar. Sugar comes from beets or sugar cane. Someone must have decided that cane sugar sounds more sophisticated or healthy. Baloney.
A single serve bottle of this beverage has 8 teaspoons of needless, useless sugar. Actually, the sugar actually does have a use - to mask the very bitter taste of the vitamins added.
However, 120 calories is a high price to pay when you can get non-bitter water out of the tap for zero calories and zero dollars
.
Onwards down the ingredient list, electrolyte sources also sounds cool. Admit it. Did you know that a banana is also an electrolyte source?
So if you are lookingn to spice up your water, then do it the natural way. If you struggle to drink water becasue you don't care for it, then add natural ingredients to it.
What can you add?
Fresh Fruit
Fresh Veggies
Herbs
Spices
Whatever you do, don't be fooled by the vitamin / flavored water. Water itself contains electrolytes and the more alkaline water you choose the more electrolytes you get!
And if you are looking for a drink to get you more vitamins then check out Shakeology! You will get vitamins and minerals and its an ALL NATURAL drink with no add sugars, perservatives, flavorings and it does not have any soy!!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup quinoa, uncooked
6 cups chopped kale, de-stemmed
1/2 red onion, chopped ( I leave them out, I don't like onions)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn
SPICY DRESSING
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/4 cup hot sauce of your choice (I used Cholula brand)
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cumin
INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium sized pot, combine 2 cups of water with 1 cup of quinoa and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
In a large salad bowl, add the kale and the onion.
Once the quinoa is done cooking, add in the black beans and corn to the pot. Mix it up. You could just add these over the kale but I wanted to warm up the beans and corn.
Add the quinoa mixture over the kale and mix.
Prepare the dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad, mix and enjoy!
FYI
Stays fresh in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
Can replace quinoa with rice and add any additional veggies you like. Bell peppers, tomato, avocado etc.
Choice, not circumstances, determines your success! It's the choices that we make each day that determine our future, our successful, our failures. The choice you make today has an impact on your future. Whether it comes to eating, working out, happiness, career, etc. It's the choices you make right now that will effect them down the road. When you chose not workout today, that's okay you won't gain 10 pounds or be or of shape tomorrow, but you will start to skip your workouts more and when you do that, you will add on the poundage and lose shape. If you chose to eat bad today, you won't gain weight and you won't be unhealthy tomorrow, but if you make a habit of it, over time, you will gain weight and develop a unhealthy lifestyle. Though it might be one day you choose to make a bad choice, know this, if you allow it to start happening more often, then you are headed down the wrong bath. Choose what's best, do the right thing, even when you don't want to, because a week from now, a month from now, a year from now you will be glad you did!!

I just finished week 3 of CIZE and let me just say OMG!! I LOVE this program!! AND its only 4 weeks long so I am into my last week!
With CIZE, I am laughing, having fun, sweating, and living in the moment!!! I am probably one of the worst dancers out there but I am having too much fun and getting into it to care!!! Plus I am doing it all in the comfort of my own home, so no one can see me mess up or trip over my 2 left feet!
Last weeks routines, were fun, but because it was week 3 they got to be more challenging. The first one, Go For it, was a fun but it took me 2 days to get the hang of it. However, the second routine of the week, Living in the Eights, was hard and I had to do it 3 days in a row until I got comfortable with it. WHICH brings up my next point, you can do this program on YOUR terms!
With this program comes 2 Calendars, Advance and Beginner, but I have clients creating one that we are calling Intermediate. The Beginner calendar has you doing this program for 8 weeks, it has you take each routine and do it for a week straight. The advance Calendar is a month long and it has you doing 2 routines a week, alternating days. However, some of my clients are doing, 2 routines a week but 3 days straight of one routine or until they get a handle on it and then 3 days or 4 days of the next routine.

Restaurants love to
concoct crazy sauces for sandwiches. Aiolis, creamy pestos… Chances are,
they're heavy in the calorie department. (Sorry; truth bomb.) But sometimes
that spead's the main draw of that particular item. Your best course of action
in that situation? Skip that sauce in the moment, but take note of what exactly
appeals to you -- fresh herbs, chipotle flavor, sun-dried tomatoes, etc. -- and
then re-create it at home. Start with fat-free Greek yogurt, and
zazzle it up! This one is hard for me because I LOVE Aioli! But its the truth, not worth the extra calories.
2. Pasta
I'm always a little
confused by random pasta on salads -- what's the point? Leave off those
needless noodles! And while I hardly need to tell you this is a bad idea, a
recent trend at hipster sandwich joints is mac 'n cheese sandwiches. Uh-uh,
weirdos. This isn't even a swap-for-something-else situation. Just ditch the
silliness.
3. Oily Veggies
These suckers can be
sneaky, but look out for keywords like "marinated,"
"grilled," and "sautéed" -- a lot of times, those words are
code for "soaked with oil." Eggplant is a huge offender on this
front, since it's basically an oil sponge. This is how the calorie count on an
otherwise smart-sounding sandwich or salad can turn out disastrous. Stick to
fresh veggies... You'll be glad you did.
4. Unnecessary Bread Items
I'm talking
croutons. I'm talking the why-are-you-here piece of garlic bread that shows
up with your salad. I'm even talking about the top piece of bread on your
sandwich! Those croutons are just a waste of calories, and they're not worth
the effort it takes to spear 'em with your fork. As for that sandwich bread, if
you wanna save some serious calories, consider getting your sandwich fixins
wrapped in lettuce. The filling's the best part anyway!
5. Candied Nuts
Nuts = full of
healthy fats, fiber, and protein. Candied nuts = good-for-you stuff cooked in
oil and sugar. BOO! This is an easy call. If your salad features 'em, request
that they be left off. Or look for a pick that has simply roasted nuts.
I love this recipe!! It is delicious and goes great over quinoa or brown rice. Its also husband approved!!

Meet Lindsey on the left is her in Punta Cana: Nov 2013. She had just finished an online personal training
program and was "pleased" with her progress. She had dropped a few
pounds, but the workouts were intense- 45 minutes of cardio in the morning,
followed by another 45 minutes of weights at night. It was something she KNEW she wasn't
going to be able to keep up with!!
After finding out that she had hip dysplasia and going through hip
recontruction surgery in Feb of 2014, she was left unable to walk for 4 months. She
gained weight, lost all her muscle mass in her left side, and felt deflated.
Last August she came across a program called T25 and had to
know what it was. After asking around, She knew it was something she wanted to do.
She was in need of something that was doable, yet would get her back to that 128 pound mark, that she
had seen before her surgery. She jumped in (the best she could while not being able
to lift her leg!) and SHE hasn't stopped since. Beachbody delivered those wanted
results + some for her.
Not only did she hit that 128 lb mark, but with just 30 minutes of
exercise a day, she is more toned and fit than she was before surgery!!
Thanks to Beachbody she has been giving back her life!! She wasn't sure it was possible until she came across T25!!!
I just finished week 2 of CIZE and let me just say OMG!! I LOVE this program!! I am laughing, having fun, sweating, and living in the moment!!! I am probably one of the worst dancers out there but I am having too much fun and getting into it to care!!! Plus I am doing it all in the comfort of my own home, so no one can see me mess up or trip over my 2 left feet!
Last weeks routines, were fun, and the first one, FULL OUT, was a blast and my favorite so far. However, the second routine of the week, IN THE POCKET, was hard and I had to do it 2 days in a row until I got comfortable with it. WHICH brings up my next point, you can do this program on YOUR terms!
Yes, there are 2 Calendars, Advance and Beginner, but I have clients creating one that we are calling Intermediate.

This is what I LOVE about this program. It is geared towards your needs and wants and you don't have to move on till you MASTER that routine.
And each week, Shaun T turns it up a notch. I struggled today, on week 3, with GO FOR IT, however, I STILL got an amazing workout and sweat going while trying to not trip over my feet. I was having fun and living in the moment!
If you like to dance, if you like ZUMBA, if you want a workout program that isn't hard or strenuous on your body, then CIZE is for you! It doesn't matter I you can dance or not. You just have to live in the moment and enjoy your time!

A little more info on what Cize is!
SO what is CIZE?

What comes with CIZE?
With CIZE you get the total workout + dance lessons kit all in one convenient challenge pack direct from Beachbody!
Workouts are all 30-40 minutes
Each workout is a new dance lesson. By the end of the workout, you’ve learned a new routine!

Every now and then, when you are on the run, you will need to grab a sandwich or salad on the
go.
Here are 5 ingredients to look out for and leave off your next order...
5 Things to Leave Off Your Sandwich or Salad:
1. Mayonnaise
There's a reason this is first on the list. It's because the
mayo that comes on restaurant sandwiches is almost always of the full-fat
variety... and almost never worth the extra calories and fat grams. We're
talking nearly 100 calories and ten-plus fat grams in each little tablespoon!
Instead, go for mustard and/or ketchup. And if hot sauce is available, shake it
on. (Sorry, T. Swift.) For more topper options, click here for 15 condiments
with 15 calories or less.
2.
Crispy (a.k.a. fried) Toppings
Restaurants love to pile on the crispy fried toppings.
Wonton strips, tortilla chips, onion strings, crunchy noodles, fried jalapeño
rings… These troublemakers can easily turn an ordinary sandwich or salad into a
calorie fest. Don't worry: There are plenty of smart ways to get your crunch
on. Opt for pickle chips, raw veggies (like onion and peppers), pickled
jalapeños or banana peppers, or a small amount of sliced almonds.
3. Heavy Dressings... Including Vinaigrettes
It's not just the
obvious skips, people. We all suspect that bacon-ranch dressing is calorically
disastrous... We figure the Caesar dressing is fat-tastic... But the standard
vinaigrettes? Sad to say, those are generally a mess too. Especially
considering the fact that the average restaurant salad comes with the
equivalent of two to three servings of dressing... up to 600 calories!
Old-school bottles of oil and vinegar are your best bet: Add a good splash of
vinegar, a drizzle of oil, and some salt and pepper. Tomato-based picks, like
BBQ sauce and salsa, are also solid options.
4. Cheese (Sometimes)
This is one of those
items that we need to include here... but we'll allow for exceptions. If your
salad or sandwich is already pretty stripped down, and you could use some
meat-free protein in there, cheese can be a good way to go. But be super
conscious when cheese is just another calorie-packed layer on an already
substantial meal. When it comes to salads, it’s all about the type of cheese.
Some give you a lot of flavor for relatively low calorie counts. A sprinkle of
shaved Parm or crumbled feta? Sure. A mound of shredded cheddar? Pass.
5. Fatty Meats
Chicken breast,
roasted turkey, and deli ham are all A-OK, but beef and other pork picks are
generally on the fattier side. Ix-nay anything fried... even the lean stuff.
Those fried-fish sandwiches are bad news! And heads up: Ground chicken and
turkey burgers are often fattier than you might suspect; whole cuts of white
meat are the way to go. And we love bacon too, but you're better off getting
your fix DIY-style at home.

It's that day again! Transformation Tuesday!!!
I don't share these pictures each day to boast about these ladies. . Some are still a work in progress. But aren't we all! We are always shooting higher, shooting for the next GOAL!
I post these pictures each TUESDAY for YOU! WHY?!? Because I want YOU
to know YOU can do it too! If I can do it, if these ladies can do it, so can YOU!!!
Most of these ladies just want to fit into her pre-pregnancy
clothes again or feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. That's why I started! I just wanted to feel comfortable and confident in my clothes and my wedding dress.
Now I want to have this healthy lifestyle in place for when we start having kids.
I'm just a hard worker determined to meet my goals.
It's not easy, even though the pictures make it look
like it- that.
Here is Jessica, she has made great gains or losses, and is still continuing to work to reach her BIG goal. Jessica is a mom and a hard worker. These pictures of her are from when she started to 50 days in to the PiYo program!!! She did 50 days
of clean eating and doing PiYo AND most importantly she never gave up! Just think 50 days is not even 2 months!!! Just think of what YOU could look like in 2 months if you decided to start NOW!!!
OMG!! I am loving this program!! I am laughing, having fun, sweating, and living in the moment!!!

I started week 2 of Cize today. Last weeks routines, were fun, and easy, which is coming from a girl who has 2 left feet and can't dance!
However, this week, Shaun T turned it up a notch. I struggled today, however, I STILL got an amazing workout and sweat going while trying to not trip over my feet. I was having fun and living in the moment!
If you like to dance, if you like ZUMBA, if you want a workout program that isn't hard or strenuous on your body, then CIZE is for you! It doesn't matter I you can dance or not. You just have to live in the moment and enjoy your time!

Many people choose gluten-free products because they think those items are healthy and good for weight loss… but that's not always the case! Gluten-free foods are not necessarily better for your diet than their gluten-containing counterparts (unless you’re sensitive to gluten, of course). Keep note I am sensitive to gluten. I have celiacs but Gluten Free does NOT mean healthy! Keep reading...
First, a little "gluten 101"… Gluten is the name for proteins found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye; it basically acts as a glue (hence its name) to hold food together. Most people can eat the protein without any problems, but about 1 percent of the population has celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that makes it difficult to digest gluten. Others just find that they feel better when they avoid gluten.
Don't confuse gluten-free with carb-free. Some people mistakenly turn to gluten-free foods as a way to cut carbs, but here's the deal: When gluten is left out of a food product, it's often replaced with another starch. For example, wheat flour might be replaced with a gluten-free starch like rice or potato. And the same goes for your personal habits: If you rule out bread and pasta, you may reach for other starches that are just as high in carbs.
Just because a food is gluten-free, that doesn't mean it's healthy or diet friendly. Gluten-free desserts, restaurant entrées, etc., can be loaded with calories, fat, sugar... even sketchy ingredients. Remember, these products are developed as solutions for people who can't digest gluten... not as weight-loss aids.
Bottom line? Gluten-free foods often have just as many carbs and calories as their gluten-containing counterparts. You have to read those nutrition panels and check those calorie counts.
But that doesn't mean there aren't some fantastic gluten-free finds out there!
