Multi-tasking to work out!

Today I am going to talk about multi-tasking... as a mom of two, I have to. I don't have a choice. Honestly, I LOVE to multi-task, so this week was a great way to do it. It was my daughters 5th birthday so I had to make cupcakes, get her goodie bags all ready and workout.. I didn't workout until 11 pm that night as other things had to come first for that night.  But it had to be done, I always feel GREAT after a workout and I knew if I got it done, I would feel even better.  So.. when you think you can't do it, when you think you are too busy just remember that you matter and that you need to be you and do what YOU want.  As I grow as a mom, I realize that I am a much happier mom when I am being me and staying true to myself and that involves me getting a workout in.  I have never compromised the time I spend with my family as I usually workout early morning or after the kids go to bed but I feel better about myself and in turn my kids see that! Multi-task, this should be the first thing when describing a mom :)

SUPER MOM- Plank 1 handed... MMMHMM!

The importance of Before and After photos

You were probably just like me, scared as heck to take your before photo.  Knowing you didn't need to show anyone but still scared to see it on the camera. Well, I am glad you I did because wow can I see the process that I have taken and the end results!! I have been doing 21 day fix since February on and off. I did 1 full round back in February and have just started my full second round.  In between I was doing about 4 workouts a week while training for a Tough Mudder. I looked at myself in the mirror last night while taking the bottom two photos and realized how happy I was with my change. Those shorts that I wore back in February cut off the circulation to my legs they were tight on me, now they feel like they are falling off of me. I can not wait to finish up my round of 21 day and then start on PIYO. I could scream with excitement... AAAH!!! 

 

 

 

I hope you get up the courage to take your before photos so you can see the change that only you can make!

Have a great day :)

PLANK DAY!

Plank day!! With 21 day fix that feels like everyday. That's in arm day, that's in pilates day and that is in a cardio day! So plank day should be plank 21 day! But, I have to say I love plank. With plank I feel like I am working every inch of my body in one exercise and more is always better!:) How many minutes can you do a plank? In 21 day fix everything is 60 seconds, so you got this!  Another reason I love 21 day fix is the workouts you do, WORK. Every single one of them. I love this program, I love that this program is on sale and I love how many people it is helping!!!

Never let fear control what you do. If you have a fear of failure, get past it, you are more capable of doing what you need to do then what you think. Take advantage of that!

This is my 60 second plank. Where is yours?

Email me for more details on 21 day fix, you have 2 1/2 more weeks to take advantage of the sale!!

Total body cardio- 21 day fix!!!

These three words are some of my favourite words! Total body cardio, it kicks your butt and you don't even know it! I am back on my 2nd full 21 day fix routine. Starting at 5:15am,  I wake up, throw in my DVD for 30 minutes, shower, get ready for the day all before 6:30 and before my kids wake up!! I love this routine and I am hoping now that it is starting to get cold and dark, this routine will stick. Start early so by winter it will already be in my mind set! Total cardio fix is probably my favourite cardio day of the program! It's a great way to start out a program and Autumn makes you keep pushing!

Let's see those workout photos!

Myself after a PERFECT first day of 21 day fix!!!

Did I mention, 21 day fix is on sale the month of September!! Email me for details if you want to start your health life now!!

Once a tough Mudder always a Tough Mudder

Well, I have finally done it! I ran my first ever Tough Mudder all due to getting fit with Beachbody products 6 months ago!! It was a great, great time.  Challenging, fun, exciting and most of all a darn good work out! 16.5 km (10 miles) of Drumheller terrain (hills, rocks, slopes) with 12 obstacles including Arctic Enema (jumping into an ice filled pit) to climbing a large will with Balls to the Walls.

When you put your mind to it, you can do anything!!

Effectiveness of 21 Day Fix!

I am often asked what type of things go into the 21 day fix containers... so I have decided to show you! 21 day fix is so effective because it is NOT a diet and it is NOT a short term plan, it is a lifestyle change.  It sets you up to succeed in the long run NOT just in the 21 days! I still to this day use my containers on a regular basis and I started 21 day fix back in February!  These containers have become part of my life, part of how I make my lunch, how I think about my dinner, etc.

Here is a snack that I have on a regular basis, grapes in my purple container and greek yogurt in my red container.  Sometimes I substitute grapes with strawberries, melon or peaches. This keeps me moving in the afternoon and is sooo soo good! And I have already gone through 2 containers!



My thoughts on 21 day fix is it's an AMAZING, AMAZING program.  It helps you get into shape, keeps you in shape and changes the way you look at excersise.  I have two VERY active children that I love to spend time with, if I can find time for 30 minutes a day, so can you!!

Here is a photo of some of what can go into the green container or also known as the veggie container, there are endless possibilities.  The one thing I tell people when they ask about the "meal plan" is there really isnt one! There are not certain things you can only eat all together, if it fits in the tupperware and its on the list, you are good to go! Easy as that!

21 Day Fix is now on sale for 1 month only!!! Please contact me if you are interested at all in this amazing program!
