"Healthy" Charleston CHEW Shakeology Bites

"Shakeomellow"
I love Charleston Chew Candy bars- those marshmellow covered in chocolate stick that always gets stuck in your teeth.

"Healthier" Version of my favorite sweet treat
What you need:
Paperplate
1 bag of NON GMO Marshmellows
1 Scoop Vegan Chocolate Shakeology
1 scoop of melted Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

What you do:
Mix the Shakeology & Extra Virgin Coconut oil on a paperplate together till it makes a smooth brownie type batter
 Dip and coat the marshmellows and lay on a paperplate and pop in freezer for 5 mins. Putting it on the paperplate will help to easily get it off.

SPRING it on- Easter Candy Detox


Spring has sprung baby...and so has the overload of Easter Candy!!   Sorry to disappoint the kids but that candy has got to get out of the house and its TIME for a CANDY DETOX and some SPRING Cleaning from the Inside Out!


WHO'S IN??

I know, it feels like just walking past the rows and rows of candy at the store that the sugar is just going to latch on to your body!!  Well...let's not let that happen!!

I've shared my team and teammates  3 Day Refresh results with you, and I absolutely love this 3 day program.  It helps keep me on track...it gets my mind refocused and my body prepped for best results of my workouts and nutrition!

So what is the 3 Day Refresh? The Refresh is a Team Beachbody Product that is meant to be a healthy alternative to cleanses that are on the market that really don't contain nutritional value.  For example, the juice cleanses, the various fasts, extreme cleanses, they really aren't the best option for you.  The Research and Development team really wanted to create a product that gives an alternative to these cleanses that will provide proper nutrition and was safe and effective at helping you with rapid weight loss!

How do you do the Refresh?  You drink a Shakeology Shake for breakfast with a serving of fruit from the book.  You get to have the Fiber Sweep as your mid-morning snack and water.  At lunch you'll have the Vanilla Refresh Shake with a serving of veggies, fruit and good fat.  For Dinner the Vanilla Fresh Shake with a meal choice from the nutritional booklet!!  You can drink green tea and water but avoid all processed foods, canned fruits and veggies, sweeteners and dairy.  You are truly cutting back to the basic to cut the bloating and help you lose weight!!

10 Tips for Eating out


Its Friday and I'm sure your weekend is packed with holiday parties, meeting with friends, birthday parties or dinner at a restaurant. As I'm writing this sentence my blood pressure is already starting to rise because I know that all of these things are filled with high fat, sugary, and hard to resist temptations.

Planning is best, when you are out you always need a game plan. You should avoid eating out as much as possible because once you enter a restaurant you surrender control over what is in your food. I have a bunch of snacks packed in the car so we don't run into food emergencies!  Here are some tips for when you do eat out! 

1. Develop an "I don't have to eat it all!" Mindset. Make up your mind before you go that you don't have to get the most bang for your buck by cleaning your plate. KEEP YOUR GOAL IN MIND.

2. Satisfy hunger only-Don't Gorge. Eat for the purpose of satisfying your hunger, but no more. 

3. Start small and green. Start your meal with a salad, without dressing. Use a spritz of lemon or some balsamic vinegar. Pack your own dressing from the 21 day fix

4. Broth is best. When there is no salad option have a broth based soup. 


5. NO BREAD PLEASE! Remember this is not helping you achieve your 10 pound weight loss goal.


6. Clean Cooking techniques rock! Look for entree options featuring steamed or raw veggies and grilled, baked or roasted meats or fish. If they aren't listed, ask the server to prepare it that way. Oh and don't always trust the low fat or fat free symbols. I always ask for everything DRY and tell them I have a diary allergy so its not covered in Butter.

7. Portion control is in. Have a good look at your plate when it arrives. Ask for a doggie bag and split your meal in half. TAKE your containers!! 

8. EAT SLOW The practice of chewing each mouthful a min of 25 times. It gives your body a chance to recognize when you are becoming full. (This is very hard to do when you are with kids, because you never know when they have had enough and you will have to leave your meal behind to take the kids out). 

9. Skip the Alcohol You want to avoid alcohol because sugar can derail you in the most powerful way. Have sparkling water with lemon or lime slices.

10. Stop before the end. Think of your plan to shed those pounds, if you can't resist something sweet ask for a dish of fresh fruit and leave it at that!


If you can't resist the dessert table then pack a few clean cookies in a Ziploc bag and pull them out with your coffee while everyone else is eating their sugar laden cookies and cake. If you have to go through a drive through, familiarize yourself with the menu. Never super size and make smart food choices by ordering grilled chicken and a side salad. Cut up the chicken and place on salad and go with olive and vinegar dressing or, low fat balsamic. 




At Chick fila (which we eat often!) I order a Fresh Grilled Market Salad- Its 1 RED 1-GREEN 1- purple 1-BLue and I take my own dressing




One of the most difficult things to manage while following a healthy lifestyle is your social life. So surround yourself with family and friends that support what you are doing and are not sabotaging your efforts. Instead of going out drinking or to a restaurant here are some alternatives.

Meet a friend at the gym

Have a game night at home with healthy clean snacks

Batters up- organize a kickball or softball game in your neighborhood or with the kids.

Volunteer together at a local charity

Meet at the park for a walk or bike ride

Go to Fit CLUB

Eating clean and creating a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to mean that you are becoming a boring person. There is so much more to experience than food and drinks! Live outside the box and you will have people wondering what you are doing because your energy and personality are on fire!!!
