Operation Skinny Jeans

Happy Thursday my awesome followers!!!  You know even the most consistent people can take a downward turn at times.  That would be ME!!!!  I have been working out to PiYo religiously over the past 8 weeks and actually this is my last week of the program!  I have made progress in my core, in my arm strength and I can see a little booty lift {which I desperately need}.  What I feel that I could of done better was my nutrition.  I was about 50/50 in that department.  I can honestly say that I am lacking energy, I am not feeling my usual vibrant and motivated self and I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that I am eating too many processed foods, a few too many drinks, and not enough water!  When you eat clean for 4 years and then you have a little backslide your body is going to let you know it for sure!  

So I woke up this morning and decided that enough is enough!  I am going to start fresh on Monday and I'm committed to doing the 21 Day Fix Extreme to the T!  

My GOALS:

1.  Kick the sugar cravings.
2.  Start consistently getting in my water intake for the day.  1/2 my body weight in ounces of water daily.
3.  Use my tracking sheet to make sure I get in my daily recommendation of foods.
4.  Take time each day to read my personal development to keep my mind fresh.
5.  Take time to rest.  Work in rest time into my schedule so that I do not feel run down and overwhelmed with life.  {easier said than done right}

So there you go, public accountability at its best!  I'm hoping that together we can keep each other accountable!  I truly believe that no one is perfect and we are all human and this is what keeps me grounded.  Knowing that I can share my own personal struggles with you and inspire you to keep going in the right direction!

So because jeans and sweater season is here I want to give you EXTRA accountability too!  There is nothing worse than pulling up those jeans and feeling your muffin top ooze over the top of your pants! UGH... its like you instantly go into a bad mood because you don't like the way that you feel.  I also used to be the girl that would unbutton my pants and wear a lose fitting shirt so that I could hide my stomach.  It was awful and I felt awful!  But after doing Insanity, P90X and really working on Clean Eating I felt myself start to change.  I no longer had to un button my pants, I felt confident in my clothes and my mood drastically changed!  

So I want to do the same for you!  I want to provide you with the same support that my coach gave to me!

I am going to be kicking off the plan and prep week to my 6 week Operation Skinny Jeans Group on Monday October 19th.  This is a 6 week closed online support and accountability group.  My goal is to teach you how to meal plan, how to make healthier, higher quality food choices, help you to manage your cravings for sweets, deal with the temptations of the approaching Halloween Holiday, how to handle eating out, traveling and everything else life throws our way!  

I like to start out the first week with no workouts but really focusing on your mindset.  I want to help you set realistic and achievable goals for yourself, I want to teach you about nutrition and healthy choices, give you sample meal plans, snack ideas and more.  

A full Skinny JEANS MEAL PLAN for you!!!

Then we will start the workouts!  You have the choice of any Team Beachbody Fitness program which I will help you choose the one that is right for you based on your own fitness level and current needs.  The 21 Day Fix is by far my favorite especially if you need an overhaul on your nutrition.  Plus the workouts are great, they give you modifications at each and every level.  

Also the next requirement is that I am your Team Beachbody Coach.  To have me as your coach it is free of charge and you would just create an account on my site!  Then, I would walk you through the next steps to get started.

Lastly, each person is required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the 6 weeks of the group. The reason is this.  Shakeology is not a protein shake.  Its not comparable to Slim Fast or any other shake!  It's like comparing apples to oranges.  When you look at Shakeology you are seeing high quality ingredients that are not processed, there are no artificial sweeteners or flavorings and it is going to help you lose weight because it's portion controlled and it has the right carb to protein ratio that your body needs to make up a complete meal.  You can choose any meal during the day to replace with Shakeology.  I always suggest you choose the meal that you struggle with the most.  Some days I am crazy in the mornings with the kids so it is my breakfast and other times lunch is chaos and its easier to drink Shakeology vs the peanut butter and jelly the boys are eating!  You don't have to commit to it forever, but give it 30 days!  It will help the transition to clean eating easier, it will help you get better results because your body is getting proper nutrition and can recover faster and at the end of the 6 weeks we can re evaluate to see where to go from here!

Each day you will log into the closed online accountability group.  There will be a daily post from me. The posts will have either a tip on clean eating, a recipe, motivation or accountability.  Each person is required to check in each day and report their day for accountability.

It is a safe place to come and know that you have people just like you to help get you through any obstacles that come with reaching your health and fitness goals.  Honestly if it wasn't for the challenge groups for me I personally would not be where I am today!  It's hard to look back and remember that person in those before pictures!  But, if I can do it.  So can you!!!

My Transformation Story

So are you in???  I  know I AM!  I spent some time this morning looking around Pinterest for some skinny jeans inspiration and here is what I found!  I created myself a skinny jeans collage for my own fall fashion!  It gave me some new style ideas and it gave me something to look forward to!  Are you in?  Just because we are Moms, or in our 30's or have busy lives, doesn't mean we still can't rock our skinny jeans!  Lets do this!!!  Are you with me?!

DO NOT LET THIS BE YOU!
