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

Beachbody has done a wonderful job at helping us give ourselves and our clients the very best! So they have recently released an amazing opportunity that I dove into quickly and has been a HUGE help with my journey! Now I get to share with you!!

WHAT ELSE DO YOU GET ?

So I shared the great benefit of all the streaming workouts  — There is also Portion Control Containers to help you with your nutrition! Food is Fuel — the key is to figure out the right kind and the right amount of foods that you need to be eating daily. 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 !! Are you ready to start feeling good, to feel more confident to have your clothes fit more comfortable, to lower your cholesterol..

Clean Eating - How to Get Started

I get so many people who want to eat clean but don't know where to start. I think that for some there is a miconception that it is hard,  How many servings a day!  What is a complex carb, is Corn a vegetable?  So hopefully this will clear the air just a bit!  Tosca Reno the author of the Eat Clean Diet calls her meal plans, cooler plans!  She has different cooler plans based on the type of results you want to get.  So today I am focusing on Cooler plan #2, which is for steady weight loss and maintenance once you goal weight is reached.  So this is basically the plan I stick to year round at this point!  This will give you a good idea of what to eat and when!

What is it?  This IS EATING CLEAN!  Do this year round for steady, healthy weight loss.  But this plan can also be used for maintenance.  Here's why:  when your body begins to approaching its set point (its genetically predetermined healthy weight) you will find that weight loss will stop or slow.

The occasional treat (glass of wine, piece of chocolate, ect) is permitted in limited amounts.  Unhealthy sugars and fats are not recommended.

How it works:
 Follow the eat clean principles as listed below:

What to do:

• Eat more- eat six small meals each day.
• Eat breakfast every day, within an hour of rising.
• Eat a combination of lean protein and complex carbs at each meal
• Eat sufficient (two to three servings) healthy fats every day.
• Carry a cooler packed with clean foods each day.
• Depend on fresh fruits and vegetables for fiber, vitamins, nutrients and enzymes.
• Adhere to proper portion sizes.

What to Avoid:

• Avoid all over-processed foods, particularly white flour and sugar.
• Avoid all chemically charge foods.
• Avoid foods containing preservatives.
• Avoid artificial sugars.
• Avoid artificial foods such as processed cheese slices.
• Avoid saturated and trans fats.
• Avoid sugar loaded beverages, including colas and juices.
• Avoid or do your best to limit alcohol intake.
• Avoid all calorie dense foods containing little or no nutritional value. I call these anti-foods.
• Avoid super sizing your meals.

Complex Carbohydrates from Fruit and Vegetables:

• 6 portions each day.  A portion is:
• 1 cupped handful or a piece of fruit such as berries, grapefruit, melon, apples and mangoes.
• 2 cupped handfuls of vegetables including broth based/vegetable puree soups.

Complex Carbohydrates from whole grains and starchy carbohydrates: 

2-4 portions each day.  A portion is:

• 1 scant handful of high-protein, sugar-free cold cereals, such as clean muesli or granola.
• 1 handful of cooked cereal
• 1 piece of whole grain bread or wrap (Sante Fe tortilla wraps from Costco are a great option)
• 1 handful sized serving of sweet potato, yam, banana, corn, carrots or squash

Lean Protein
6 portions each day.  A portion is:

• 1 cup or handful of dairy products such as low fat soy, almond, hemp, rice, or skim milk, cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt cheese or plain fat free sugar free yogurt.
• 1 scant handful of raw, unsalted nuts (also a healthy fat)
• 2 tablespoons of all natural nut butters such as almond or peanut butter (also a healthy fat).
• 1 palm sized portion of lean meats
• good quality, sugar- and chemical- free protein powder (hemp, soy or whey).

Beverages:

• 2-3 liters per day of fresh water with no sodium
• Clear herbal tea (unsweetened)
• Black coffee in moderation
• Green/Black tea

Sweeteners:  Use in moderation.  Avoid Artificial Sweeteners.

• Agave Nectar 
• Honey
• Maple Sugar Flakes
• Rapadura Sugar

Does this look boring or bland?? I think not -- these are all foods that I eat while Clean Eating !! 

I have lost 20 lbs to date with clean eating and regular exercise.  No starvation just healthy whole meals.  As you can see above this picture is an idea of some of the foods that I enjoy on a regular basis.
If you would like even more support email me at mshewell1218@gmail.com I would be glad to provide you with daily motivation and support to help you accomplish your health and weight loss goals! 

Have a great day!

Autumn is BACK !! This is SERIOUS !! It's the 21 Day Fix EXTREME

Click here for the Application

Last February Beachbody launched the 21 day Fix!! This launch topped the charts and is the #1 home fitness program !! Autumn is Awesome!

I was following clean eating before I started this program and was doing quite well with it. The nutrition aspect of this plan really opened my eyes to some changes that I needed to make to help me get to the next level. The portion control containers, along with the food guide are truly simple and easy to follow. They have to be because I still follow the nutrition guide a year later !! The workouts are all 30 minutes and I loved the mix of cardio, weights, pilates, plyometrics that the program had to offer.

BUT NOW -- Autumn is Back!! She has brought something to the table that this even bigger and badder ! This is ramped up to help you shred off  those final pounds!!  On February 2nd, 21 Day Fix EXTREME is launching !! You can only get it at this time through a Beachbody Coach !! Make me your coach for FREE and we can get you started!! If your a 21 Day Fix Extreme graduate, are you ready to take it up a notch?

What is the Difference between the 21 Day Fix and EXTREME!! 
The original 21 day fix was designed to make weigh loss simple. It was to set you up to never have to "DIET" again.  At some point no matter what your doing, there comes a final push to achieve the hard body that you've always wanted. The 21 Day Fix EXTREME is taking it to the next level. It is set up to get you seriously shredded in the shortest time possible. Again it combines simple portion control, a tightened up eating plan and new 30 minute workouts with advanced moves. The Results will be a hard, lean and defined body!! 

For your nutrition, not only will you practicing  portion control- you will be eating CLEAN foods. No Treats, No Cheats. No excuses. Hey it is only 21 days and it is EXTREME. How bad do you want that lean six pack, ripped shoulders, cut arms and toned legs... It is time to get serious. 

Getting Results
Are you a 21 day fix graduate or a graduate of P90x, Insanity or T25? Are you looking to lose those last unwanted pounds? Do yo have a vacation coming up, a big event to attend? No other program has you eating this good and working this hard.  I'm not saying that it will be easy, its going to be hard. You have to have GUTS and drive to take this on. This will be a challenge, but at the end of the day your going to look and feel awesome !! 

** I would not recommend this program for beginners, this is an advanced program. I would recommend that you complete the 21 day fix program first before moving on to the EXTREME.
