Spring into Health Challenge Group - Amazing Opportunity to Reach your Goals

Spring is HERE Folks! And many of us have been hiding in our comfortable winter clothes! We may or may not have recovered from the Holidays.. Yes it can be a ripple effect on some of us.. But with Spring in the air and warmer weather on its way, it brings on a sense of SPRING CLEANING! Out with the OLD and in with the new. Clean, Refreshed Body and Mindset is on its way! This is more than just looking good.. Its about FEELING GOOD !!

The best part of being a Health and Fitness coach is that I have the ability to mentor people from all over the US and CANADA! I'm not limited to only helping LOCAL people !! I run online private groups to help people with accountability support and education to lead them to the RESULTS that they are after! 

So many people try on their own and are not successful with their fitness journey for a few reasons…I was one of them … and I was unsuccessful for YEARS.. Until one day I decided to be open to CHANGE !! 

NUTRITION:

People are going about it all wrong == they bottom line LACK PROPER NUTRITION! They cut out carbs (Because those make you fat- WRONG), they starve themselves - that is only a quick fix..that is not a way of life and cannot be sustained. Did you ever wonder why you go on a starvation diet you may lack energy and feel like crap ? Well its because your depriving your body of essential nutrients that you need to survive! 

FITNESS: 

Yes I talk about nutrition being key but your physical activity is also important. If you want to be tone and lean then you have to add the physical aspect into the equation as well. Plus exercising increases your metabolism, it is for mental clarity, its good for your bones, it  improves energy and just makes you FEEL GOOD !! 

ACCOUNTABILITY & SUPPORT:

Ok this was a BIGGIE for me! I could do the other 2 in spurts.. Seems like never aligned good at the same time.. BUT I LACKED this step.. I would start off with friends or family and before you knew it - everyone had fallen off track.. There was no one left to PICK US BACK UP ! 

Being on this Journey can be HARD and doing it alone can be even HARDER!! 

That’s where I come in!! That’s where the groups are different! If you have moments where you give up .. you don't have to worry because there will ALWAYS be a support system to welcome you back in!! I do my best ti keep you motivated DAILY and to HELP you push throughout on the days that it is really hard! 

Maybe these reasons you have failed in your past are relatable. I can say I have failed in my fitness journey so many times!! But I am also proof that you can move past your failures and let your failures be a learning experience to be successful!

As a Beachbody coach, I have been able to take what I have learned regarding health and wellness, losing weight, keeping it off, lowering cholesterol, better eating habits, and living a healthy lifestyle to hundred of people to assist them in their own personal journey. Its really not hard - I Incorporate: 

Fitness + Nutrition + Portion Control + Support and Accountability

No counting calories or weighting your food… Its as simple as portioning your food into color coded containers based on specific food group - Carbs, Fruits, Veggies, Proteins, and Fats  — There are specific guidelines for help you reach your goals.

WHAT IS THE SPRING INTO HEALTH CHALLENGE ?

The Spring into Health Challenge is an opportunity to incorporate Fitness + Nutrition + Support and Accountability all into one !! Part of my Nutrition is a superfood meal replacement shake that has changed my life!! I have been using Shakeology for over 4 years.. It started when I was diagnosed with High Cholesterol and it was time to get serious about my health !  It has also helped with my cravings for sweets, its convenient for a mom that is always on the go with my kids sports and activities !! I thought that I was eating pretty good - however after looking back - I really wasn’t… Shakeology helped me get the nutrients I wasn’t getting from my every day foods.. I  started to notice that I had more energy, less bloating, and less cravings for bad food simply because I am fueling my body with the right stuff!

I am super excited to kick off my next online group  — EVERYTHING you need to reach your goals will be available to you !!

Pulled Pork Carnitas

One of the things that I love to be challenged with when following a Nutrition Plan is finding new recipes ... I am always looking for quick and simple.. the misconception that so many people has is that eating a Healthy Lifestyle is all about bland tasteless food... I will be honest and tell you that I have experienced with MORE spices while changing my eating habits than I ever did before.. and Healthy Food tastes amazing !! 

These were part of the WHOLE 30 plan that I followed and let me tell you... They were a Family Favorite !! Leftovers were even eaten !! 




Ingredients: 

• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Salt (I use Pink Himalayan) 
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds pork butt, cut into 4 inch cubes
• 2 Tablespoons cooking fat (I use GHEE)
• 1/2 Medium Onion roughly chopped
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 1 cup of water 
• Juice of 1/2 lime 

I did this in a crock pot and it was super easy ! 

Directions:
1. Mix 1 Tablespoon of the sat and and pepper in a bowl. Use to season the pork butt evenly.

2. In a pot melt the cooking fat, add the onion and cook until translucent 4- 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook stirring vigorously to prevent burning, until aromatic about 1 minute. 

3. Add the cinnamon and chili powder to the water.

4. Add the onion mixture to the bottom of the crockpot. 

5. Add the pork butt to the crock pot

6. Cover the pork with the water mixture. 

7. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8-10 hours

Add the Green Onion and Lime Juice before serving

Note: Pork Butt is the most common cut used for pulled pork because it is marbled with flavor- enhancing fat. It is also known as Boston Butt, Boston Shoulder, and Pork Shoulder Roast. If you get a cut with the bone, throw it in the pot with the meat and let the nutrients and fat from the bone infuse your carnitas. 

Turn your Pork Carnitas into a taco salad by serving over crisp green along with Salsa and Guacamole.. 

My kids added some BBQ sauce and put them on buns as sliders.

Butternut Squash Soup : Whole30

In the Fall and Winter we CRAVE COMFORT FOOD ! While I am not big on soups, I will be honest - this one was getting some pretty amazing reviews by some of my health and fitness friends and I had to give it a try -- Really WHY not !! You never know what AMAZING Foods you could be missing if you don't open up to try new things! 

CREDIT for this recipe goes to WHOLE30! 

Ingredients 

3 tablespoons coconut oil or Ghee
1/2 cup diced onion
3 cups of diced, seeded, peeled, butternut squash **
2  cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon ginger *optional
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
**TIP:  You can purchase diced squash at most grocery stores. I find this saves a lot of time! 

Directions:

In a large pot melt the coconut oil, add onion until golden brown. Then add squash, garlic and ginger* until the garlic becomes aromatic.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat.

Boil until butternut is soft (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat.

In one or two batches transfer soup to food processor until smooth.

Return to pot and heat over medium-high heat until it thickens.

Season with salt and pepper.


NOTE: To make this a complete meal you can add some cooked chicken scallops.  You can also add spinach for additional greens.  I prefer to process the spinach but you can also add it the last 3 minutes of cooking.
