Transformation Tuesday: the 21 Day Fix and Shakeology

So a few weeks ago, I shared with you that I had decided to make some very important time for myself!  As a Mommy to three kids all three and younger, I don't get any free time - so I needed to actually make an effort to schedule that time!  I wanted to start eating healthier and exercising and get back to (or close to) my pre-baby body!  In addition to selfishly wanting to look good, I also wanted to feel good.  I needed more energy!  I want to be the mom who is running around and playing with her kids!  I owe them a healthy and happy Mommy!

That's when I decided to try a program that I've been hearing about - Shakeology and the 21 Day Fix!  I committed to making changes in my nutrition and exercising for 21 Days straight!

Here's What I Love About Shakeology:
*it's easy - mix in a shaker cup or whip up in the blender
*it tastes good!  Not like a chocolate milkshake but still good enough that I enjoy drinking it!
*I can drink it with one hand - that's important because I usually have a baby in the other hand
*it gives me energy - and I need all the energy I can get
*it helped me cut way down on coffee (now I only have one cup per day)
*it's full of nutrients!  Shakeology is so much more than just protein...it's packed with super foods!  I'm not the healthiest eater so being able to get that much nutrition in a shake, first thing in the morning, is wonderful

Here's What I Love About the 21 Day Fix:
*you get an exercise program plus a nutrition program - it's the whole package
*the workouts have a nice variety - yoga, pilates, weights, cardio
*the workouts are 30 minutes - this fits perfectly in my schedule
*the nutrition plan focuses on portion control and gives you containers to help you portion out food 

I took some very honest before and after pictures!  In 21 Days (that's only 3 weeks people), I was able to lose 9 pounds and 4 inches off my tummy and hips.  I know a lot of people don't believe the before and after pictures that are online and the commercials, but these are real and unedited.  I didn't photoshop or filter my pictures.  I didn't even apply self tanner lol.  They're about as honest as it gets!

I still have a long fitness journey ahead of me, but I am off to a wonderful start!  I believe in Shakeology and the beachbody programs so much that I decided to become a coach!  And now John is on board too!  He's drinking Shakeology and doing T25!  Now that I have completed one round of the 21 Day Fix, I am doing T25 with John!  And I already love it!  That program goes for 10 weeks!  In about two months, I will have another set of before and after pictures!

Mommy Mondays: Doing Something for ME!

Happy Monday!  Normally all of my Mommy Mondays post feature my sweet girls!  However, today I thought I would talk a bit about doing something for ME!  When you're a mommy, your own needs tend to get pushed way to the back burner - especially when you have a newborn at home!  They depend on you for everything!  But a healthy and a happy Mommy means healthy and happy kiddos! So I decided to revisit my New Years Resolutions and really get working on #1 - and that is losing the baby weight!

Enter this wonderful program in my life:

First Let Me Talk to You About Shakeology:

This was the GAMECHANGER for me!  After being stuck at the same post Paisley weight loss (in case y'all forgot I gained 50 pounds with her...yes you read that correct), drinking Shakeology for 7 days straight gave me a FIVE POUND weight loss.  I didn't change a thing except replacing a typical breakfast with Shakeology!  I lost five pounds in one week and I had so much more energy!  Plus, if you are a Mama you know that sometimes you only have one hand to eat a meal with!  You can drink Shakeology while having a baby on your hip and helping your older two children get their breakfast! 

Now Let Me Talk to You About 21 Day Fix:
I am in love with these workouts!  They are 30 minutes, so you can't really make an excuse not to do them - everyone can find 30 minutes in their day!  I try to do it first thing in the morning before my older two girls are awake and right after I've nursed the baby so she is content to hang out in her bouncy seat and watch me!  There is also a really nice variety with these workouts - weights, cardio, yoga!  I love it!!!  Plus, I do not have to wait for someone to watch the girls so that I can head to the gym.  I can do this in the comfort of my living room anytime!  In addition to the awesome workouts, there is a wonderful nutrition piece that comes in your 21 Day Fix Package.  You get the cute color coded portion control containers (shown in my first picture) and an entire book full of recipes and clean eating ideas!  It's a really complete program!

I am such a believer in Beachbody - especially Shakeology - that I have decided to become a coach and help others to find the success and happiness that comes with being a healthier version of you!  Whether you have weight to lose or just want to feel healthier and have more energy - I can help!
