Why Not You?

Why not you?? Here are two comments from two of my last challengers...they're busy moms and yet they managed to find 30 minutes a day for themselves. They are feeling better about themselves and the new changes they are making...why not you? What's holding you back?

Need some extra incentive to lose weight?

Tony Horton is running a challenge where you can earn some $$ for losing 4% of your current body weight! It cost $30.00 to join, this challenge.  If you lose your 4% of your current weight, you will earn your portion of what's in the pot.  This could be from getting your money back or earning more...  I'm in!  I'm trying a program that I've never done...Insanity Max 30! From what I hear, I should have no problem losing my 7 pounds or my 4% of my current weight.  Anyone want to take the challenge with me?? Contact me today for more information!

Don't let getting older be your excuse!

People are always talking about wanting to get into shape...they want to look better, feel better, be healthier and some want to look younger.  Which one of these ladies definitely looks younger? 

I know which one I would prefer to look like when I'm 74! It definitely took more work for the woman on the left to get and stay in that shape, but the smile on her face tells me that it was worth it to her...is it worth it to you? Or... are you content not putting forth the effort and ending up like the woman on the right? The choice is yours!

There are many obvious differences between these two woman, but the biggest one that stands out to me other than the physical is the difference in their quality of life.  The woman on the left is obviously in better shape, but with that comes the freedoms of agility, strength, independence and the flexibility to do as she pleases.  When you are not in shape; especially if you're confined to or rely on a wheelchair, all of that is taken away from you.  I have no doubt the woman on the right is happy, however, I would be extremely frustrated to have to rely on an apparatus or someone else to get me around, to may appointments, to get dressed, etc.  

Start today with making the small changes that can make you healthier and more independent as you grow older.  If you're not sure where to start or how, contact me today and I am more than happy to get you in the right direction so that you can be more like the woman on the left!  Find me on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/christina.manning.988 and send me a friend request or email me at www.cmmanning1980@gmail.com or complete the questionnaire below...

3 Day Quick Fix

The 3 Day Quick Fix is to be done day 19-21 of the 21 Day Fix if you would like to maximize your results.

This is perfect for fast results.
I’m not going to lie, it’s going to be tough. You’re going to eat a LOT. No sodium AT ALL. You’ll probably be a little tired too. But…it works.  Planning out for those 3 days is CRITICAL to you being successful!

Here are the details:

• Space your meals two hours apart
• Steamed veggie options recommended are broccoli, asparagus, green beans, zucchini, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
• Seasons allowed are lemon and lime juice, vinegars and spices. NO SALT!
• Oatmeal can be flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, or one packet (1/2 tsp) stevia
• Drink at least one gallon of water a day. Spread it out as much as possible, starting with a glass when you first wake up. It’ll help you feel full while it flushes toxins from your system.
• Drink the extra virgin coconut oil with meals. To prepare it, place the desired amount into a microwave safe bowl and zap for 10-15 seconds or heat it in a small pan on the stove.
• Coffee or tea is ok but avoid creamers and sweeteners – except stevia. Again you can use one packet (1/2 tsp).  This would be a great time to start drinking it black...you can do this.  I've always been at least a cream or a sugar girl in my coffee; one day my husband handed me a black coffee and told me to try it, that it was better for me.  Well, it wasn't great, but I did it and have been doing it that way since.
• No need to alter your workouts.
• Use for 3 days and ONLY 3 days of the program for maximum results.

Ladies Meal Plan:

• BREAKFAST: Yellow: Steel cut oats, Red egg whites, e.v. coconut oil
• SNACK: Red: grilled chicken, yellow: steamed yams (or sweet potatoes)
• LUNCH: Red: steamed fish, green: steamed veggies
• SNACK: Red: grilled chicken, green: steamed veggies, e.v. coconut oil
• DINNER: Red: steamed fish, green: steamed veggies, e.v. coconut oil
• SNACK: Red: ground extra-lean turkey, green: steamed veggies

TIPS: I personally preferred the oats and eggs cooked in a pan together. I had pre-cooked a batch of oats and tossed a serving into the pan and poured egg whites on top. Added cinnamon and a tiny bit of stevia for flavor. I’d actually eat that again sometime.
For the meats I added a lot of spices for flavors like cumin, garlic, rosemary, thyme, etc.
In between meals I was drinking lots of water and also green tea which kept my mind off naughty snacking.

I want to hear from you after you complete the 3 Day Quick Fix...how did you adjust it to your likes/dislikes?

Early Morning Workout

 This morning was a first in a long time for me...yes, that clock reads 5:07 AM and I'm already dressed and ready to push "play". If you know me, I am NOT a morning person and I NEED my sleep or I don't function. Well, I've been running out of hours in the day to get everything in with everyone's practices and my workouts have been taking the back burner...well I decided that this would change this morning (#NOEXCUSES). I got by butt out of bed, pushed play and got my workout in all before I would've normally gotten out of bed and I I'm so glad I did!!

Then...driving to work, while enjoying the healthiest meal of the day, was awesome.  What a great feeling to know that I already got my workout in, my shake was almost gone and knowing that I wouldn't have to try and carve out time tonight for me to get my workout in.  I'm not sure why I don't do this more often :)  Hopefully tomorrow will go the same and my husband won't need dynamite to get me out of bed like he thinks he will!!

What time of day do you prefer to work out??

Inspiring for the health of it!

I started coaching just to cover my Shakeology costs, however, the group was very inspiring for me...I loved interacting with a great bunch of positive women in my coaching groups and within the challenges that I was in.  It was very addicting and I soon found myself wanting to do more with Beachbody.  I am getting ready to start my third challenge group and I absolutely LOVE it!  The interactions are amazing and positive, yet real... people are sticking with the new healthier habits that they started to create and they're seeing the results from never throwing in the towel.

If you would like to add some positivity to your life and would like to be part of an amazingly positive group of woman that enjoys motivating and supporting one another to reach their goals- I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU JOIN OUR TEAM!

Tasty Tuesday 3-Day Refresh Style

I was very leery about trying the 3-Day Refresh...I eat pretty healthy and clean, but let's face it, I like food too (it doesn't look like a lot of food here :) ).  I wasn't sure how this was going to work.  Well, I made it thru day 1 and day 2, quite successfully I might add and no one was harmed in the process!!  I'm excited to see how I feel after tomorrow after the 3 days of super clean eating.  So far so good!  Planning is definitely key to being successful for this 3-Day Refresh.

The 3-Day Refresh is a great way to get your eating back on track after the holidays!

Thirsty Thursday

Yes, I had a snickerdoodle for dinner tonight!  It was more filling than a snickerdoodle and it was about as many calories as one cookie too.  I definitely think it was a very tasty dinner.  I had a special treat today for lunch, a burger with all of the bun, so I thought I would balance that with a lighter dinner.  This was the first time I ever made this and it's definitely one that I'll make again.

To make this delicious shake, blend 8 oz of almond milk, 1 tsp of maple syrup, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 2 tsp of cinnamon, 1 spoonful of almond butter and a handful of ice cubes.

I have to admit that I was nervous about making a shake with maple syrup, but I couldn't taste it at all and it ended up being a nice change from my "usual".
