In my earlier Thanksgiving Game Plan post, I mentioned I was bringing Sweet Potato Hash to my moms house for Thanksgiving! Well as requested, here is the recipe!
SWEET POTATO HASH
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
-2 tbsps of coconut oil (I used EVOO)
-2tbsps of brown sugar
- sprinkle of cinnamon
1. Place frying pan on med to med high heat. 2. Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan. 3. Cut 2 large sweet potatoes into slices the quarter the slices. 4. Place sliced sweet potatoes in frying pan. 5. Add brown sugar and cinnamon to the sweet potatoes. 6. Let it cook for 10 -12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sweet potatoes should be fork soft with brown crispy edges.
Isn't it crazy that Thanksgiving is in just 2 days? Countdown to Christmas is less than one month!
Did you know the average American consumes over 4500 calories and 200 grams of fat on Thanksgiving? And then of course you have to have leftovers the next day...and the next. Then what happens next, oh cookie baking parties and Christmas parties and the week of Christmas. This is making my jeans feel tight just thinking about it.
Ok off track, that's not what I want to talk about right now. I want to help you stay on track this Thanksgiving- if that's what you want to do for yourself! This isn't going to be strict and boring like you may think. I'm not going to tell YOU not to have some wine or treat yourself to a piece of pumpkin roll if that's what I'M doing. Its just not how I roll! What I am going to give you is some tipskis on not going cray cray (I still can't believe I use that term lol).
#1. WORKOUT! Thanksgiving is no excuse not to get your workout in. If you're going out Turkey day eve, lets just put it out there---- I don't really see this happening for you. You're already off track- skip to #2.(except start with Shakeology as your hangover cure!) Start Thanksgiving with a good sweat sesh . T25 is my scheduled workout for Thursday so it'll be a quick one! Then I'll switch out my usual lunch which is Shakeology, and have it for breakfast instead. Our Thanksgiving "dinner" is usually around 2pm. I will enjoy myself but focus on proper portion sizes. Also remind yourself of your goals you have set for yourself and start with some positive self talk!
#2. THE Plate- When making your plate, first put lean meat and veggies on your plate. Then choose sides that you really WANT, not what you think you haaave to have since its Thanksgiving. Sometimes we put things on our plate that we don't really enjoy just because we think it's a tday sin not to. Also make sure you're still drinking alot of water especially if you're having wine too.
#3. SIDES- If you are hosting, Google is your best friend if you're looking for ways to clean up your favorite dishes. I'm going to my moms so I'll be making my recently favorite "sweet potato hash". If you're going somewhere, bring a healthy dish that you know you can enjoy guilt free. Don't try to "save calories" by not eating anything til dinner (who hasn't done this). It may sound like the right thing to do, but when it's time to eat you're going to be STARVING and you're gonna go to town *see calorie count up top.
#4. TRAVEL-If you are traveling far, pack a cooler. You can bring your Shakeology, apples, almonds, protein bars, precut veggies, hard boiled eggs, egg muffins, fruit, pre portioned oatmeal (with 1 scoop of oats, protein powder and dried fruit. Add hot water and breakfast is a go!) You don't want to know whats in Starbucks or McDonald's oatmeal, so don't say I didn't give you another option!
#5.BE STRONG- Ignore the "healthy haters". Most likely there will be someone who comments on your plate. They may even guilt you into eating more. Just brush off the comments- you know why you are making the healthy choices that you are! Be proud of yourself.
#6. THANKS- Don't forget to GIVE THANKS for the body you were given and the knowledge that is at your fingertips to make changes. Small changes lead to big progress!
*If you find yourself "giving in" in the moment, You can stay accountable next month by joining my 21 day BetterYou challenge. This is not a "quick fix", its the start to a healthy lifestyle. I will help you stay focused and accountable through December. You'll start seeing progress BEFORE the New Year! Ditch the resolutions, start making goals!!*
{Dont forget----This month you will receive up to a $20 Beachbody gift card when ordering Shakeology HD-home direct or a Challenge Pack (workout plus Shakeology) and your order will send meals to Feed America!!}
and most of all.... have a very Happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones!!!!
Last week I posted my latest progress pic on Facebook. I would be lying if I said I didn't hesitate when posting it.
You know...as a coach I sometimes feel like I should already have my goal body. I work out... I eat cleaner...I motivate others to do the same.
But as women, we tend to nit pick at things we don't like about ourselves. Have you ever said, "if I could just change one thing.."?! For me, my tough spot is the area above my 2 c sections. I mean- I seriously give myself a hard time about the area where I was practically cut in half and had a baby delivered from-TWICE.?!? When I think of it that way - that's crazy!
I was talking to a good friend about my hesitations on posting this pic. She reminded me that not only has this year proven to be a physical change for me, but a mental one as well. That even though I haven't reached some of my fitness goals yet, I care about others and helping them reach theirs. After looking at this picture of me pre kids party girl compared to the one I took this morning of the healthy mom of 2 kids - I'm going to be happy with how far I've come and not lose sight on where I want to be!!
So here is my current progress pic since having Ava (5/9/12)
I've done Insanity, Turbo Fire, Focus T25 and I'm currently doing a ChaLEAN Extreme and Focus T25 hybrid. I replace one meal a day with Shakeology and I eat try and eat clean 80% of the time. I'm just like you- Between those programs I've fallen off track here and there, but I get right back at it! I know what needs to be done and I do it. I need to start focusing on PROGRESS. I'm so far from where I was PRE kids and I've made alot of progress since being a coach for a year! YOU guys keep me motivated and striving for PROGRESS not PERFECTION! So THANK YOU!
The Dream Team is NOT just any team...We're a FAMILY, We work TOGETHER, We train
together and we grow from each others strengths! I’m not a fitness expert or
professional trainer but these programs & products have helped me CHANGED MY
LIFE!! And I am PASSIONATE about sharing them with others! HOW COULD I NOT?!?! I
help people…I CHANGE LIVES…like mine…like YOURS…We are TEAM DYNASTY...TOGETHER we
are BETTER! Together we are UNSTOPPABLE!! Join our team…Join our FAMILY!
Check
out this video about The Dream Team! We are the best and most supportive
group in the Industry! Or at least I feel that way! Listen to my upline coach, Melanie Mitro and #2 coach in the company, explain 10 reasons for you to become a coach!
Are
you beginning to wonder what all of this Beachbody Coach buzz is all about?
Well, if so then this is the place to be. Below I am going to outline what a
beachbody coach is and why you might be the right fit to become part of the
Bombshell Dynasty's Team!
Bombshell Dynasty is a group of motivated individuals who provide support,
motivation and encouragment to people on a daily basis to help them achieve the
health and fitness goals. We provide free coaching advice and support to people
who are enrolled in teambeachbody's free account. I send out weekly motivational
quotes and exercises for my participants to complete. I provide feedback on
struggles and workout options. I also help individuals fuel their body with
foods that will keep them energized, strong and able to complete their daily
activities. I educate people on Beachbody products and how they can work for
your body.
WHAT A BEACHBODY COACH
ISN'T
Being a Beachbody Coach ISN’T a Get Rich Quick Scheme. It is hard work and
you get out the effort you put in. So if you aren’t willing to put in the time
and effort you aren’t going to succeed. All my coaches can tell you I live by
the MOTTO “Be Here in A YEAR”, that means give this business 100% for a year and
you will be AMAZED! Are you ready to change your life and the lives of countless
others? What are you waiting for? In one year exactly, I became a DIAMOND Beachbody coach, glad I stuck around!
I AM A PRODUCT OF THE PRODUCT!
I have done INSANITY, (some) P90X, Focus T25, ChaLEAN Extreme and I currently drink
Shakeology every day and follow the clean eating lifestyle. I do not SELL
anything except for a healthy lifestyle that is based upon the principles of
eating whole natural foods and regular exercise! Of course I do promote
Beachbody Fitness programs and supplements because they work! I have tried them
and if you follow X,Y,Z then you will get the results that you are looking for!
I not only have transformed my own life physically but I now have a more
positive outlook on life and I LOVE being surrounding by people who want more
out of life!
When I started doing the INSANITY workouts I was expecting results like the
infomercial, but I was missing the key ingredient to weight loss success.
Nutrition! When I was half way through Insanity, I signed up as a coach and starting drinking Shakeology, my coach Melanie
Mitro, was able to teach me about clean eating to help me lose 8.5 pounds! I began reading her transformation story and
immediately became motivated by the success that she was having. I also was a
mother who just had a baby and was afraid that my body was never going to look
good again. Her encouragement and support helped me to achieve my fitness goals.
I knew that becoming a coach was exactly what I was supposed to do! I want to help others do the same thing. I feel
like I have so much knowledge and expertise about eating healthy and working out
that I might as well share it with others instead of keeping it to myself! I
love my job and I can't wait to get up and get started everyday!
THE DEETS:
INDEPENDENT BEACHBODY COACH INFORMATION,
COST?
A one time fee of $40 to become a beachbody coach. This is not a yearly or
reoccurring fee.
A monthly website fee of $15. Beachbody gives you three canned websites
where you can do some minor personalization. One site is a Beachbody site the other two
sites are specialized Shakeology site and Ultimate Reset site (only available for sale through the Team Beachbody Coach network) . I
have decided to create my own website and blog to share my experiences but it is
not required.
To remain an active coach you need to have a Personal Volume (PV) of 50
points per month. Purchasing a month's supply of Shakeology (at a 25% discount)
is 90PV for example and you're done. I agree with Team Beachbody's methodology
that you need to use their product in order to be able to explain the benefits
of the research they've done. Plus, their supplements actually taste a whole lot
better than the other stuff I was using. Recovery drink... think orange
creamsicle!
Benefits:
You receive a 25% commission on anything somebody buys from Beachbody using
one of your links. Somebody purchases a copy of P90X, you get a check for
$29.96.
You can, if you choose to, have a downline of coaches. Everything rolls up
and there are a ton of bonuses you can earn. I have not received any pressure to
push people to be coaches. In fact, many people choose to be coaches just for
the discount and decide down the road to make it a business!
You receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products including merchandise!
If you're using supplements today like I am, just the discount savings alone on
let's say P90x Protein Bars and P90X recovery drink covers the $15 monthly
website fee.
You get paid on a weekly basis!
There is no inventory to carry, Beachbody takes care of everything.
Access to an entire team of experts on health and fitness.
Access to marketing materials and guidance on how to build your business.
Intangibles:
I have found a new passion for health and fitness and have never felt
better. I'm not trying to sell you that miracle pill, extreme diet, or a whole
lot of vitamins you probably don't need, this is for real. Nothing in this
program is easy, you have to work for it!
I have increased confidence in all aspects of my life. I finished 90 days+
of one of the most physically challenging activities I've ever encountered. I
lost a weight, built some muscle along the way and I feel fantastic.
I can give non-expert nutritional advice based upon my experience. I don't
have a degree in nutrition, but I know what worked for me and am helping others
figure out what works for them.
I can help YOU get in the best shape of your life!
HOW DO YOU SUCCEED?
It's a breakthrough income opportunity that lets you turn weight loss into
profit. In order to make money, all you have to do is let people know about
getting fit and losing weight with Beachbody’s best-selling line of products.
You succeed by helping others succeed! You succeed at being a Beachbody Coach by putting the needs of others first. By
reaching out to people and offerring your support and guidance. For me, I
enroll my customers into my challenge groups. That is the place where I have
day to day contact with them, I can support, motivate and encourage them to
start and finish a fitness program. I provide them with tips and recipes plus
all sorts of different strategies to get into shape. To succeed you follow the
structure of inviting people to a challenge group, enrolling them into the
group, helping them succeed and then eventually people become coaches as well!
You succeed by leading by example, inspiring others to get into shape and by
being motivated, driven and passionate about what you do! Of course, you don't
have to know all the answers at first. You just have to be motivated to get
started!!!

you do want to purchase products for your own use or resale, you’ll get them at
a significant discount.
HOW DOES BEACHBODY PROMOTE ITS PRODUCTS?
We spend millions of dollars every week advertising our home fitness
programs on the major TV stations and cable networks. (You’ve probably seen our
famous infomercials for programs such as P90X, Insanity, Focus T25 as
well as our magazine and Internet ads.) Millions of people already know about
Beachbody, and every time we run an infomercial, we get thousands of new
customers. We want those customers to shop through your store, so you get the
commission on those sales!
HOW MUCH OF A DISCOUNT WILL I GET ON MY OWN BEACHBODY
PRODUCTS?
As Beachbody Coach, you receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products
available in the Team Beachbody store.
Ahhh The Slight Edge. This book is such an eye opener. It's such an easy thing to implement into any aspect of your life. The little things in life you do - or don't do- will lead you closer or push you further from what you want.
"Believing in the 'big break' is worse than simply being futile. It's actually dangerous, because it can keep you from taking the actions you need to create the results you want."
So for the sake of talking about your health and fitness (c'mon you know that's where I was eventually going with this) are you going to join the gym again in January and do the same stuff again that didn't work last year? Maybe it worked for a little while but you didn't make it a LIFESTYLE. Doing what's necessary every to be the healthy, fit ,confident, good example person you want to be. So I'm wondering, what's holding you back? It's not matter of IF it will work for you- it will if you commit to putting yourself in the position to learn and change and do the little things that will lead you to the results you want. This isn't your "big break" but it is your answer:
Nutrition+Exercise+Support=SUCCESS
It's your starting point. It's the beginning of your TBT picture. It's the beginning of a new wardrobe. Beginning of feeling confident and healthy. It won't happen overnight. It won't be easy everyday. But it will SO be worth it!!!
I'm on week 2 of ChaLEAN Extreme/T25 hybrid. I just decided last week actually to switch from the ChaLean cardio workouts to T25 cardio workouts. This is what my schedule looks like:
During the PUSH phase of ChaLEAN extreme, Chalene challenges you to lift heavier and reach "failure". You are ony doing 6-8 reps of each exercise.
I myself opted for sneakers.
I did all evening workouts this week. With the exception of Wednesday and Friday, I had a workout buddy and we worked out after she got home from work. Morning workouts are a nice way to start the day, and you don't have to worry about it for the rest of the day, but I'll take a workout partner over that anyday!
Tuesday I had an absolute CRAZY day with the kids. We had a playdate which is always nice, however Nathan just wasn't feelin the sharing/listening thing. He was stressing me out, I'm not gonna lie! So I was kind of happy I waited until the end of the day (and that I had an accountability partner coming over to workout too haha) to do my T25 workout. I put myself in a 25 minute mommy time out and worked off some stress!
Wednesday was family night dinner and I worked out when I got home. I posted this on Monday and its so true, right??
Yesterday two of my workout buddies came over and they joined me for T25 ab intervals in the back garage! Its always nice to have friends to workout with!
Today was Pump 3 and then I have stretch on Sunday!
My meal plan looked like this. I'm still working with the 30 day Paleo Challenge, with some exceptions.
By far, my favorite breakfast!!!
I want to leave with one last thought......
We know the real answer to weight loss but sometimes we don't want to admit it. We know quick fixes are going to be temporary. We know the pills, not eating, the stuff (chemicals) to sprinkle over food isn't healthy- yet why do we try them? Because we want results and we want them now. Our lives are so immediate and everything at our fingertips. But when it comes to something like the body we live in, we can't take that approach. It didn't take over night to be unhappy win yourself and it won't be overnight to see results. I've talked about consistency but you also can't give up and throw in the towel if you don't see immediate results. You have to bring that positive attitude everyday to create a lasting change. I know my way of working out and eating healthier may not be what you want to do or put the work and time into... but trust me it's the only way to have the body you want for the rest of your life! I personally think your health, confidence and results are worth the time it may take to get you there! We can do it together! December 1st- join me for a 21 day online challenge and if at the end you are still "all in" and committed we will go for a longer challenge to create your lifestyle change!! I only have a few spots left, so contact me by Monday!
There are roughly 6 weeks until the New Year. Where do you see yourself in the next 6 weeks? I know the holidays can be tough. We're super busy, we're buying gifts, planning and attending parties, decorating and so on...I'm getting tired just thinking of it all. One thing I promise myself though is I will always carve out a little bit of time each day for me. Working out makes me a better mom, nonwifey and coach. I want to tell you a little plan I have to keep myself accountable and on track through the new year.
21 day {end of the year} BetterYou challenge!
This 21 day challenge will be a KICK START to a new you. Lets not wait until the new year. Don't renew your gym membership for the 4th time in a row because THIS time it will be different. Don't throw your hands up because there will be temptations all around with the holidays approaching. You can still enjoy yourself WHILE creating a new lifestyle. Put yourself first for once. I have tried lots of things through the years to try and lose weight and feel confident. Pills- Wrong, out working a bad diet-wrong, cutting down calorie consumption- wrong, slim fast- wrong, lean cuisines- wrong.... Beachbody programs, eating clean, Shakeology, accountability and support - DING DING! Winner winner chicken dinner.
So as you can see this isn't about starvation diets, ab shockers (you won't muscle spasm yourself to a 6-pack) and forget the Sensa! We eat yummy REAL food without chemicals sprinkled on top!
So what is this group all about?
This is all about LIFE CHANGE... not getting "skinny"! We don't offer a QUICK FIX for the problems that have gotten you to where you are today and pretend that they are no longer there - those NEVER last... We go straight to the source of the problems and figure out how to overcome them, so that YOU can maintain your RESULTS! We talk meal planning, recipes, tips, motivation and accountability. This is a closed Facebook group, so no one sees what is posted except us!
You don't just leave with a better BODY, you graduate as a BOMBSHELL, someone who is beautiful from the INSIDE, OUT!
Take a step and find that inner confidence that you have been missing!
What are the requirements? There are only 2 requirements. They are to
1. Be an active participant in the group. This means logging in for just a few minutes a day and posting.
2. Commit to replacing one meal a day with Shakeology for 30 days. This is required because I know its your daily dose of dense nutrition. Its one daily action I take that I know I'm giving my body everything it needs to properly function. Its helped me lose weight and maintain it, curb cravings, helps my energy and also helped me regulate my digestive system.
Working out isn't required, but strongly encouraged!! Nutrition, Exercise, and Sleep! Repeat. We can either discuss the right program for you or you can do what you're already doing!
"Pre-season" starts this upcoming Monday (11/25) and the online challenge group will start December 2nd! We will end right before Christmas and right before family photo ops ;)
"The most powerful force for any change is time. Position your daily actions so time is working for instead of against you… Knowing that if I stay on this path long enough I will get the results I want. In today's world everyone wants to go directly from planting to harvest. The step we are overlooking is the step of cultivating. And that, unlike planting and harvesting, takes place only through the dimension of time. The right choices you make today, compounded over time, will take you higher up the success curve"

Wow thats a really long title for a post lol, I'm making up for lost time, ok?! I have lots of stuff for you today!!!
So first off! I missed last weeks (maybe the week before too??) FASQ (frequently asked Shakeology question) But I'm trying to do it on the reg!
Question:
What ingredients in Shakeology provide energy?
Answer:... Shakeology packs up to 18 grams of protein and vital complex carbs in every serving. Plus it delivers whole-food nutrition from some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet that are stocked with essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and more than 20 different antioxidants, enzymes and phytonutrients. Together this synergistic blend provides healthy calories (=energy) around. A few individual ingredients in Shakeology that can help boost energy include:
• Chia meal (seed): Supports energy endurance with omega-3 and -6 fats, protein, fiber, and essential trace minerals. It helps support high-energy endurance.
• Maca Powder (root): Known for its ability to help increase stamina and energy levels.

Now for a little *Shakelogy Spotlight!*
Gipsy B. lost 66 lbs while drinking Shakeology! "Shakeology helped me understand the importance of having a clean meal. I feel I'm getting the most nutritious food in the world. Nothing can beat the nutritional value of my shake."
I love looking at and sharing transformation stories and seeing what got that person to where they wanted to be! She looks amazing!
Now for a little recipe for you guys! I seriously looooooveeeee this one! SO SO good. I'm so glad Beachbody finally has vanilla! Did you know they once thought they never would have vanilla, because they were not willing to compromise and put in artificial ingredients for the vanilla taste? They finally found a plant (in MADAGASCAR!!! ya no big deal) and released this flavor this past June. Its been a hit at my house. So yesterday I made one called "Nutter Butter" and lemme tell you - amazing!
- 1 serving (scoop) of Vanilla Shakeology
-1 cup almond milk (or skim)
-1/2 banana
-1/2 cup coarsely chopped raw walnuts
-1 tbsp. all natural peanut butter
-1/2 ice or more for thicker consistency
ENJOY!
One last thing before I go! This month Beachbody has partnered with Feed America. I'm so proud to be apart of a company that is helping feed those in need, especially in the month focused on giving thanks and paying it forward! So for every Shakeology HD order placed through me this month, Beachbody will donate 90 (yup NINETY) meals to Feed America, and YOU will get $10 back towards a future Beachbody purchase. I think that's pretty awesome stuff!
