Get out of your comfort Zone!

Hey all.  What do you do to get out of your comfort Zone?? 
So recently I was with a friend and I really challenged her with a what I thought was a Fun, funky workout.  She thought it was too fast and too intense. 

We proceeded to talk about the workouts she usually does and which are her favorite.

I came to realize that is why so many people don't get to their goals. They don't go Beyond their Comfort zone!  You need to work all parts of the body to shape your body into the Body you WANT! 

One of the things to reach out of my comfort Zone, was to get Certified as a P90X Trainer.  I was not a super fit person. I'm a Mom that wanted to get healthy and wanted to help her family as well as others get Healthy also!
 
The Reason I Love P90X----  it works Every Part of Your Body!  This is why so many people from Obese to Slightly Over-weight people have done this Program and Have Achieved Results.  Sure some may need to stick with it for a lot longer than the 90 days.  Um, So what - they Did it and are so happy they did.  I met one of the Obese guys we've all seen on the Infomercials. He stayed with the plan and is now a happy and healthy husband and father.  He is now a role model for so many!  Wow- I can only hope to be a good example for my girls and my family and friends.

If you are stuck in a rut, Please reach out to me!  I am ready and willing to help you reach your goals!
I would Love to hear of Your Successes Also.

My First 5k

So last month My 10 year old daughter and I did our first 5k!
Yay  =)  we had a wonderful time.   We started out at 6am getting ready for our morning.

We were full of butterflies and excitement.  We drove to the round up spot and found our names to get registered.  We grabbed our T-shirts and found a spot to stand by and wait till start time.  

Finally the time came to get all lined up.  Everyone filled the street.  We found a couple spots for ourselves and anticipated the Start! 
Then off we were running in all the hustle and bustle!  Woohoo we were off to an excellent start! 
Yaxha, my daughter loves to run, she loves racing the kids at school.  She especially loves to beat the boys.  :)  She is a great sprinter but I found out she needs help staying at a steady pace.  But our first 5k was not the place to teach her that.  So we ran then walked then ran some more then walked! 

I was able to point out to her how the more seasoned runners were staying steady. They were not running Fast but a nice and even pace. It was great to see the variety of people out that beautiful Saturday morning.  We saw older ones and very young ones, Mom's pushing baby's in strollers and couples motivating each other along.  We enjoyed it so much we are determined to do more.

I love that I can share my love of health and fitness with my family.

What type of fitness do you do with your Family??

How was your Summer?

So I've been off the Blog radar for awhile.
My Summer was very busy with Kids and Workouts and just the everyday Mom on the run type of stuff.
I had an absolute great time getting together for workouts early Tuesday mornings for 8 weeks straight. The ladies that joined me expressed to me the enjoyment and the new found strength the 2 workouts a week gave them. To my Delight!  :)
Of course the summer had to end and school started.  Which meant that our little group had to start getting kids to school, so our morning workouts ended.   Se La Vie.

Now that my girls are back in full time school after home-schooling two full years, I am finding a little more time for myself and I'm liking it! 

So, One fun thing we did this month is go to the LA county fair!  We went on Military Hero's day so my Husband and I felt a little comfortable letting our girls walk around and get on rides by themselves for an hour.

 AS we walked through the many vendors  I saw so Many NEW Health gadgets and gizmos.  I Had to Laugh as I walked by them. I Know we are all busy But Come On People standing on a machine that makes you Wiggle and Giggle is NOT going to give you Lasting Health Benefits!  Putting on some kind of patch or drinking some kind of pill is Not Going to do the Trick Either!

As I have talked about in previous blogs - I made a Choice to make my life healthy last April 2011.  What did I do?  I Workout out 4 to 5 days a week sometimes even 6 to 7 days.  I Learned to Love the pain of sore muscles and being sweaty every morning. I Learned to shop for healthier Food.  I Learned to Read the LABELS!  Now this, all these things put together have Given Me Lasting Health Benefits!!  I have maintained my 20 pound loss for a year now. I have all the energy I need to get up early in the morning with an early bird hubby and do all the MOM things of the day well into the night.  But I'm not Just a stay at home MOM - I am also A Business owner. So that adds loads to my day also.

Being an Independent Business Owner with Beachbody as not only given me a healthier life but has also afforded me to be a great wife and mother.  I love Helping others find the healthy life style they are looking for.  It is the most rewarding thing to get an email or text from a client that tells me they are a few pounds lighter this week or they can fit into clothes comfortably again! 
If you are in need of that kind of support please don't hesitate to contact me.  This is my passion and I love being able to have a business that supports me financially as well.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Dine Out Without Diving Off Your Diet

By Denis Faye

When you start to eat healthily, dining out, which was once a bliss-filled, belt-notch-loosening pleasure, becomes a culinary terror. Servings are Matterhorn-esque in size. Supertankers of soda abound. Fries come with your order whether you want them or not. Nary a veggie can be seen for miles. We're here to help. But please remember that even with our tips, restaurant dining is almost always going to be less healthy than what you can make at home. That said, here are a few pointers: 1. Make smart choices Almost every menu contains chicken or fish cooked in a healthy way. Look for words like "grilled," "broiled," or "steamed," and avoid "sautéed" and "fried." 2. Skip the appetizer By definition, an appetizer is intended to get your appetite going. But when some appetizers contain more than 1,000 calories, that's not an appetizer—that's a full meal and more! If you do want an appetizer, ask your table if they'd be willing to split one of the healthier options like a salad, bruschetta, ceviche, or anything that's light on sauce and heavy on fruits, veggies, or lean protein. 3. Eat a salad Greens are also a great option, but not all salads are created equal. Stick with salads that don't contain mayo (in other words, avoid the tuna and chicken salad), and ask for the dressing on the side. This way you can add your tablespoon or two, instead of having your salad drenched in it. 4. Side dishes in your mouth mean sidecars on your thighs At many restaurants, the "side" is a baked potato, fries, or coleslaw. What does that equal? Unnecessary calories. If you'd like a side, request the salad (dressing on the side), fruit, or steamed veggies, even if you don't see them as an option. 5. No bread Don't eat the bread. Does it taste good? Sure! But instead of eating something because it's in front of you, swap those empty calories for something you'd actually enjoy. 6. Eat half Over time, American portion sizes have enlarged to gargantuan sizes. Restaurants often provide you not with one serving of pasta, but with as many as 4 or more. But if you have a hard time not cleaning your plate—after all, the food does taste good—request that the waiter split your order in half before they bring it to the table. That way you can enjoy your dinner as lunch later in the week. 7. No soda If bread is bad, soda might be worse. That's because it's easy to consume massive amounts of calories fast. And don't even think about going the "diet" route. Those artificial sweeteners aren't healthy, and they can lead you to crave more sugary substances. Talk about a lose-lose! If you want something other than water, ask for unsweetened iced tea. It's calorie free, so you can drink as much as you want! 8. Dessert Really? Really? Granted, some restaurants use restraint, and focus more on unique flavors than on quantity, but if you're out with friends at the type of place where the dessert has more calories than your meal, and they insist upon ordering it, suggest the table split it. Then take a single bite and put your spoon down. It's not about denying yourself, but about making smart choices. If you're still craving something sweet when you get home, enjoy some yogurt and berries or a piece of fruit.

Spring is here which means Summer is just around the corner. Monday, May 28th is the symbolic start of summer, and for many, the beginning of a three month game of "hide your body" whenever it's time to put on shorts or a swimsuit.

New Ultimate Reset Program from Beachbody!

Coming Soon!!! Beachbody Ultimate Reset: 21 Day Nutritiona​l Program to Transform Your Body from the Insaide Out!

 
 How It Works: The 21-day Reset Occurs in Three Phases.

    Balance Body Chemistry
   Constant consumption of preservatives and chemical-laden foods along with exposure to toxins and pollution impair normal body processes. During Phase 1, you'll balance your body chemistry with four of the six supplements in order to optimize its systems. This will also reduce cravings or dependencies on items such as sugar or caffeine.*
 
   Remove Toxins & Reset Digestion
  In Phase 2, you'll be reversing the effects of poor habits, unhealthy foods, and environmental toxins. You'll modify your diet so that your digestive system won't have to struggle, and digestive problems you may have experienced before such as bloating and indigestion will be significantly reduced as your gasotrointestinal tract is cleansed.*
 
   Rejuvenate Your Health
  When you reach Phase 3, you will experience a profound positive change in your mood and energy level. During the final week, you'll eat foods of high-nutritional value whose nutrients are easily absorbed and return healthy bacteria to your freshly scrubbed digestive tract with pre- and probiotics. This will set you on the path to long-term healthy living.*
 The Six Supplements

    Alkalinize
 For maximum health the blood should be slightly alkaline. Our alkalinizer helps to bring your body back into a healthy pH balance for improved immunity.
 

    Oxygenize
 Supplementing oxygen helps the body eliminate waste from the tissues, which assists energy production and the transport of nutrients.

   Mineralize
 Our rare natural salt contains highly beneficial trace minerals that aid the digestive tract, regulate water content, and support cellular function—ordinary salt does not.

   Revitalize
 This combination of pre- and probiotics restores the balance of healthy bacteria in your digestive tract for a stronger immune system.
 
   Optimize
 Systematic enzymes play a critical role in all bodily functions. Our unique blend of enzymes helps promote optimal immune and inflammatory responses in the body.

   Detox
 Our detoxifying clay draws toxic compounds from the gastrointestinal tract, and our proprietary herb blend restores your system to optimal digestive health.

 

 
 

Why Reset?

   Even though the body is extremely resilient, our bodies have been pushed to the limit by pollution, pesticides, preservatives, chemicals, and toxins contained in nearly every item that makes up our modern world. These harmful items disrupt the normal function of our organs and bodily systems, which, in turn, weakens our immunity, hinders metabolic activity, and creates imbalances that can lead to health problems.

    With the Beachbody Ultimate Reset™ you get these benefits:
     Stronger immune system
     Increased energy and more endurance
     Better digestion, metabolism and weight loss
     A more positive mood and mental clarity
