Back to School, Back to You Challenge

Included in this challenge is your choice of a 30/60/90 program with short workouts (think 30 minutes or less!), Superfood nutrition to give you the energy to keep up with your kiddos and ME to support you! I'm also opening this group up to moms that still love the gym, are doing CrossFit, Pure Barre, etc and want to just try Shakeology.

I am looking for 10 moms (or Dads!!) that are saying enough is enough.  That want the support and accountability from me and other people on the same mission.  You will get fitness, nutrition and personal support.  And seriously, I know we are STILL busy...so I'm talking about workouts that are 25-30 minutes a DAY.  That's it!

If you want to make a change NOW and are READY to become that FIT mom who can keep up with your kiddos, feel good in your own skin and will do your BEST to commit, then email me at brookegriffin6@gmail.com or fill out this quick form.  I can't wait to chat!!

It's Fixuary! Yes, you heard me right! This month we are celebrating the fact that the original 21-Day Fix and the Extreme (just launched!) are on sale for an amazing price...just $10 when you purchase Shakeology!

Which of these programs is right for you?? Let me help you figure that out! 

And who is the 21DF Extreme for? It's for my 21DF graduates, for my friends that have done other more difficult workouts such as P90x3, Insanity Max:30, T25, or those that have been working out at a gym for some time and need a change. Maybe you've hit a plateau, maybe you want variation, MAYBE you have already come far but want serious DEFINITION in 21 days, maybe you need a bit of extra help with nutrition???

Because of the popularity of these programs, we have Challenge Groups that launch every week - our next ones being the 16th and 23rd. This includes the EXCLUSIVE TEST group for the Extreme.

Insanity Max:30 Meal Plan: February 9th, 2015

My husband and I are about to start Month 2 of Insanity Max:30, but this is only our second week of following the Nutrition to the Max plan.  You can also use this if you are following the 21-Day Fix!  Each color represents a different food, or a different color coded container.      

{Click the picture to download or print this meal plan}    

Last week was an experiment in portion control for me.  I followed the maintenance plan, meaning I calculated my number of calories so I would not lose any weight.  I was skeptical!  It appeared to be way less food than I was used to eating!  And it really was.  But what I realized was that I was fueling my body with all the good stuff it needs - more fruits, veggies, proteins and limiting my carbs and healthy fats so I ended up with MORE energy.  I wasn't bloated at ALL and I slept like a baby all week.  Even my husband agreed (and was a really good sport about trying this with me!!).  He is trying to lose weight, which he did, and told me every morning when he woke up how great he felt.  

Here are a couple of the recipes from this week: 

Creamy Herb Dressing

1 medium avocado

1 1/2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt

4 tablespoons cilantro (or tarragon, mint, dill, etc)

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 dash of ground pepper

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Place avocado, yogurt, herbs, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.  Continue blending and slowly add the olive oil.  Store in the fridge, tightly covered until ready to use. 

Southwestern Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon coriander

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

Mix and store and use as needed!

Southwestern Quiche

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough 

Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken 

It's hard for me to believe we just completed the first 30 days of Max:30.  I was seeing results, especially in my shoulders, arms and calves, but I still wasn't getting the definition I wanted in my core - I want abs!!  And seriously, one week of really dialing it in, eating with the Nutrition to the Max meal plan and learning proper portion control - I can already see major changes and definition starting to happen.  

The 21-Day Fix/Nutrition to the Max meal plans are amazing.  If you are interested in learning more about the 21-Day Fix workouts (Extreme or original), Insanity Max:30 or even Shakeology, be sure to fill out the form below.  We are holding two EXCLUSIVE test groups for the 21-Day Fix Extreme that just launched on February 2nd - one on February 16th and one on the 23rd.  Are you game???

Insanity Max:30 Meal Plan: February 2, 2015

This week is a LOT different than the meal plan that I posted last week.  Today I'm starting the Insanity Max:30 Nutrition to the Max plan!  It is essentially the 21-Day Fix meal plan, which is why different foods are in different colors.  There are a couple of reasons I'm doing this...first one being that I am a Beachbody coach and have not done the 21-Day Fix yet!  I think it's about time - especially with the 21-Day Fix Extreme launching TODAY.    

{Click the picture to download or print this meal plan}    

Honestly though one of the main reasons is that even though yes, we eat very healthy, I know we overeat, even on "healthier" foods.  It was an eye-opener to see that on this plan, you are allowed 1 healthy fat a day.  A 1/4 of an avocado is considered ONE healthy fat.  I was eating like 2 avocados a day!  I am fit and I workout and I drink my Shakeology every day, but lately I've just been feeling bloated.  I have a feeling my heaping portions of whole wheat spaghetti and brown rice are the culprit...so this week is an experiment in portion control for me.  I'll report back when I post next week's meal plan!

Here are a couple of the recipes from this week: 

Creamy Herb Dressing

1 medium avocado

1 1/2 cups plain nonfat Greek yogurt

4 tablespoons cilantro (or tarragon, mint, dill, etc)

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 dash of ground pepper

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Place avocado, yogurt, herbs, lemon juice and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.  Continue blending and slowly add the olive oil.  Store in the fridge, tightly covered until ready to use. 

Southwestern Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon coriander

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

Mix and store and use as needed!

Peanut Butter and Banana Overnight Oats

Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes (omit the bananas if following this plan)

Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Turkey Chili (I used 2 chicken breasts in place of the turkey)

Since I am not trying to lose weight at this point, I am on the maintenance plan.  In the Nutrition to the Max book, it will tell me when I should think about adding foods.  If I feel like I'm starting to lose weight (or that my energy is lacking) then I will follow the step-by-step guide of what to add in the proper order.  Pretty cool and fool proof.  They designed these plans to make it easy and manageable!

The 21-Day Fix is an amazing program.  Not only does it teach you how to eat correctly for life with it's portion control containers, but it has this great mix of workouts designed to keep you motivated and not bored!  Be sure to fill out the form below if you are looking for more information on the original 21DF, the Extreme or Insanity Max:30!

Meal Plan: January 25, 2015

I have a confession to make...as much as I preach about meal planning and prepping and how important it is, I didn't make the time to get it done last weekend.  I pretty much flew by the seat of my pants until Wednesday when I thought, this is crazy!  So I took a mid-week trip to the grocery store and got my act together.  This week was a different story - meal plan and grocery list was completed before 9 am Sunday morning!

Yesterday I also came to a realization that if I still struggle with planning out my week occasionally, I know there are people out there that could use a little help too.  So starting this week, I will be adding a new post every Sunday with our plan for the week.  Hey - it will keep me accountable too!

{Click the picture to download or print this meal plan and to view the highlighted recipes.}  

 

My husband and I are in week 3 of Insanity Max:30 and LOVING it!  Let me know if you have any questions about this program (use the form below).  Such a game-changer.  I am getting stronger and my muscles are getting more defined by the day.  Crazy!  

Ok - back to the food part of this...I try to stick to between 1800-2000 calories right now.  I am pretty active, working out 30-40 minutes, 5 or 6 days a week.  Plus staying at home with 3 kids under the age of 5... :) This calorie bracket will help me maintain my weight, which is exactly what I'm trying to do right now.

I included links to recipes when I had them.  Hopefully you will all find this helpful and even if you don't follow it completely, you get a few healthy ideas.  If you are struggling to make better food choices or exercising, I can help.  I've been a Beachbody coach for 10 months, and have helped so many family members and friends start their own fitness journey with amazing results.  I would love to hear from you!  

Yes, I'm ready to start feeling better and want more information!

Join Us For a Beachbody Coaching Expo!

I've been a Beachbody coach for almost 8 months.  This morning, MY Beachbody coach, and friend Jamie, sent me a text saying that she was looking over her numbers and noticed something pretty cool.  A year and 4 months ago, she was making exactly what I am making as a coach.  And now...wait for it...

~~SHE is now an 5-Star Diamond coach making a SIX figure income.~~  

Blown away by this realization is an understatement.  Thinking about what that kind of income could do for my family literally gives me goose bumps.  Did you ever set a goal for yourself so BIG that it almost makes you a little nauseous?  Because that's what I did this morning...and I have a feeling 2015 is going to be amazing.

This is me!  I achieved Diamond Rank in just over 7 months.  My team is on fire!  When I first decided to become a coach, it was to lose the pregnancy weight I gained with baby #3.  I never imagined it would becomes something I was so incredibly passionate about.

I have an overwhelming need to share this opportunity with others.  If I can grow my team as fast as I did over the past 8 months, doing this PART TIME as a stay-at-home mom of 3, anyone can!!!  We are holding a Coach Expo on January 5th - no fluff, no mushy stuff.  Only the business side of it, specifically how we earn and the potential for growth with this company.

I wanted to get the word out before this week became so hectic for everyone.  Let me know if you want to join us (it's a Facebook group - super easy to get all the info you'll need) by simply filling out the form below.  Our click HERE to message me on Facebook!

~~ AND! We will have an amazing prize for the person with the most participation! (A 2-week supply of Shakeology or a 3-Day Refresh!)  I mean, why not, right??


Yes!  I want more info about the expo or coaching in general!

Asking for the Gift of Health and Fitness

I am a Beachbody coach and SO many of you have messaged me this month asking about the cost of programs. Thanksgiving really took it's toll on a lot of us.  For me too!  I was never so eager to jump back into my workout routine than I was after that holiday weekend!  The most common response I got back? 

"I REALLY want to do it, but it's Christmas and I can't selfishly spend money on myself right now."

Look, I GET IT. I asked for Insanity Max:30 for Christmas because of that EXACT reason! Why do we feel weird asking for a fitness program or Shakeology when deep down we know it's something we want and need in order to feel better?  

So here's what I'm offering. I'm going to make it so easy for you to get the program of your choice and Shakeology for Christmas...just in time to start completely fresh after the New Year.  We are going to create a wishlist for me to share with your family!  This is what I need from you:

1. Fill out the form below, email me at brookegriffin6@gmail.com OR message me on Facebook to tell me the program(s) and flavor of Shakeology you are interested in. 
2. Tell me who to contact - name and email (or let me know if there is a better way to get in touch with them)
3. Forget you asked for it and be surprised on Christmas morning! 

So easy!  A very simple way to get what you REALLY want this year.  2015 will be your best year yet.  Fill out this form to get in touch with me, even if it's not for the wishlist.  I would love to chat with you about your own fitness goals!

My T25 Transformation

I did it!  I just recently completed all 10 weeks of Focus T25 and let me just say, it got me in the best shape of my life.  The workout, plus drinking Shakeology daily, plus eating clean (most of the time!) AND the support from my accountability group is the perfect equation for RESULTS!

Shaun T. (Hip Hop Abs, Insanity) designed T25 for people that are short on time.  You get an hour's worth of results in only 25 minutes!!  You push play and you get it done!  At the same time that I started the exercise program, I also started drinking Shakeology.  What is Shakeology you ask?  Well, that's a whole OTHER blog post waiting to be written, but in the meantime, if you click here, you can go to my site and check it out (or fill out the form at the bottom and I'll be in touch!).

At first I drank Shakeology as my breakfast or after workout recovery.  I'm obsessed with the energy it gives me!  No mid-afternoon crash, no zombie mom!  Now that I've hit my goal weight, I drink it as a mid-morning snack and to maintain my weight.

My results?  Well, let's just say I'm pretty thrilled!  The picture on the left was taken 6 weeks after having baby #3.  I've always been on the thinner side, but never toned.  I didn't exercise, I ate what I wanted and my energy levels reflected that.  I was sick and tired of feeling so...tired!!  Cue an opportunity to become a Beachbody coach - a decision that has changed my life (cliche but SO true!).  T25 was the first workout program that I EVER did.  So if I can do it, so can YOU.  It works for anyone, at any fitness level.   

I share clips of the moves on Instagram and Facebook to show potential challengers how much fun it can be!  It's tough, don't get me wrong, but it's AWESOME!

Let's talk details about the program.  It is 10 weeks long, broken into two 5-week sections, Alpha Focus and Beta Focus.  Alpha is your foundation (the first 5 weeks) and Beta is more dynamic.  Weights or resistance bands (included) are needed for Beta.  But don't sweat it - there is a modifier in all 10 weeks.  It took me at least 3 weeks before I was completely off the modifier!

Are you interested in starting on a fitness journey of your own?  Or have questions about how Shakeology can hep you?  Fill out this form and I will be in touch.  There are programs to suit every lifestyle and fitness level - I can help you find the perfect one!
