Seven Day Spring Slimdown

I'm starting a free Seven Day Spring Slimdown Group on Monday, April 6th. I know I haven't done as well as I should over the winter but I am ready to get my butt back into gear! If you're new to exercise and/or just need to get back in to practice, this group will be perfect for you. If you're interested send me a message at facebook.com/janashealthychapter, comment here, or email me at janashealthychapter@gmail.com. Just to sweeten the group, I'll be adding a door prize at the end of the week for just a little extra incentive!!

The only thing I ask of you is to sign up for a free Beachbody membership HERE!!!  You will get me as your personal Coach, access to BB message boards and forums, and the WOWY SuperGym!  You can't beat it!  You will not be asked for credit card info unless you decide you want to purchase a fitness program or Shakeology.

Meal Prepping

Last night was one of my weekly meal prep nights.  I like to prep for three days at a time.  Because my tastes change so much during the week I've found that this helps me to not become bored with food. When you get bored with your food, you start eating things you shouldn't.  So below I have the following for my 21 Day Fix Menu:

Breakfast:  Oatmeal (instant - not the best but it will do for 3 days) and blueberries

AM Snack:  Shakeology, greek yogurt, 1/2 banana, and spinach (not pictured) which will be blended together

Lunch:  Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, hard boiled egg, turkey dogs, and homemade dijoin vinaigrette (not pictured)

PM Snack:  Hummus, whole wheat crackers, and an apple

Dinner:  Stuffed bell peppers with ground turkey, and veggies on the side (butternut squash and mixed veggies)

Dessert:  1/2 banana and 1 TBSP of peanut butter

It usually takes me two hours in the kitchen to prep.  But it makes things so much easier during the week.  I pull out the tupperware and just heat it up and I'm good to go.

If you need some ideas on meal prepping or are just curious about it or think it may be a bit overwhelming, let me know.  I'd be happy to help you in anyway that I can!

You're a Badass!

This post coincides with yesterday’s post on how to deal with miserable people.

Sometimes it takes us awhile to find out who we really are as a person.  Some people know who they are and feel as if they have to hide it from everyone else for fear of being an “outcast.”  Some people are lucky enough know who they are at an early age and could care less what others think of them and therefore live a happy, healthy, satisfying life.  It took me a long time to figure out who I really was and become a happier person.  Not knowing who you are leads to stress and anxiety.  So many people struggle with stress and depression on a daily basis that it’s becoming an epidemic.

This article from mindbodygreen.com is a great tool in helping you figure out who you really are.  Click HERE to read!

Don’t worry about what other people may think of you.  Be the person you were meant to be and share your happiness with anyone you may encounter.

I want to be someone who is constantly helping others, someone who won't judge, and is continually growing.  Do you need some help figuring out who you are?  Do you need some guidance?  I'd love to get you started on your journey.

Haters gonna hate hate hate...

It’s true!  You’ll always have haters in your life.

I had a ridiculous evening last night dealing with someone who is miserable with her life and in turn is trying to make me, and other people I am trying to help, miserable as well.

Most people want to be happy or change their lives to become a happier person.  You then have those few people who are always miserable, have no desire to change their outlook, and on top of that, want to make everyone else around them miserable.  I’ve also noticed with my weight loss (-76 pounds) that there are some people who become jealous of your success.  Instead of being encouraging, they try their best to bring you down and/or stop you from becoming even more successful.

I woke up this morning thinking I’m still going to help myself and others no matter what anyone says.  Believe in yourself and don’t let haters bring you down.

Join a group that has like-minded goals and WANT to see you succeed.  Thankfully, I have a wonderful Beachbody group with men and women who do nothing but encourage and support each other.  If you need a similar group, please contact me and let me help you find a group that will fulfill your needs and help you succeed and reach your goals!

And just for fun...just Shake it off!

Weekly Goals

Happy Monday!

I like to set weekly goals for myself. I write them down and keep them next to my desk so that I can see them every morning.

My goals this week are: 1. Wake up earlier 2. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day and/or walk 3 miles a day 3. Stick to my meal plan 4. Finish some projects that I've been putting off 5. Stick to my daily schedule!

What are your weekly goals? Maybe I can help you figure out what type of goals you need to set for yourself to help you feel more productive. Comment below or pm me.

Friday Five

Friday Five

What are your Five favorite fitness activities?

1.  Burpees.  I couldn’t do them when I first started but now, I’m slowly getting better at them.

2. Walking.  I love to go for a long walk, especially now that it’s getting warmer

3.  Yoga.  I’m working on my balance and flexibility and am loving it.

4.  Kettlebell Training.  You get dumbbell training and cardio at the same time!

5.  C25K - I’m not a runner, but I will jog…slowly.  This program helps you train for a 5K.  I completed my first last year and am planning on completing another one soon!
