TurboFire 12 Week Challenge - JOIN ME

Excited does not even begin to tell you how I feel right now...
Chalene Johnson the creator and instructor for TurboFire announced today that Turbofire is hosting a 90 Day (12 week) Challenge starting VERY soon!  How soon might you ask?  Well we don't know yet!!



What is so special about this particular challenge is all you have to do is order your TurboFire kits and be ready for when the Challenge Begins.  Every entrant  who submits all Day 1, 30, 60, and 90 photos get a free TurboFire Water Bottle, and the Grand Prize winner gets $250 worth of Apparel!!

Like I said I am beyond excited for this challenge and am now revamping the next couple of months to take part in this TurboFire Challenge Group.  I am personally inviting YOU to join me.  What I will do is create our own personal and private facebook group for this TurboFire Challenge.  I will create a private group for us to share our daily triumphs, struggles, and anything and everything else that comes along the way.  I will help keep you motivated, I will help you learn how to eat healthier, I will share recipes, and I will be there for you and with you every day for the complete 90Days!!!!  We will be having our own CHALLENGE within the 90Day Challenge.

Watch this video to see why so many people are already on the TurboFire fitness train - incredible workout, incredible results, and oh you get to have a dance party the whole time while working out - WOOT WOOT!!




So my question for you is this...
Does working out bore you? Does working out feel like a chore?  Does the music sound like elevator music? Do you hate getting in your car and driving to the gym just to share other people's sweat? or get to the gym and find out your class has been cancelled?  Do you need motivation even after you have started a particular workout? Want to lose weight? Tone your body? Shed the baby belly pooch? Lower your cholesterol and/or blood pressure (hello your doctor keeps telling you diet and exercise are key components to this one!!)?

Whatever your reason may be, you have a reason why you are currently NOT working out or why you WANT to work out or possibly BOTH.  Stop battling yourself!!!! I can help you do that - ASK ME HOW!!!!



If you can't handle THE SWEAT, Don't Play with THE FIRE.  But if you're ready to get hot, IT'S ON.  


TURN UP THE BURN  WITH 
TURBOFIRE




Chalene Johnson is one of my favorite celebrity trainers.  I started her ChaLean Extreme program in Feb. 2012 and it forever changed my life.  She has several other fitness programs available too - one being TurboFire.  TurboFire is one of the most intense calorie-burning, cardio training classes ever put on DVD. Yep, that is right TurboFire is a workout program that is available on DVD.  You don't have to leave your house to get your SWEAT ON!!!! 

What is TurboFire all about?

Chalene Johnson incorporates HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workouts - these are known as the FIRE DRILLs in class.  HIIT workouts are 9x more effective than traditional cardio.  There are also kickboxing drills, aerobic exercise, and AWESOME MUSIC.  Each move in the TurboFire workouts are perfectly choreographed to music that's been hand-selected to give you the best workout.  

Motivation is KEY to your workouts, no matter what you plan on doing or are currently doing now.  TurboFire uses the AWESOME MUSIC to keep you motivated (well besides the amazing Chalene Johnson!).  The music is YOUR Motivator during the workout. It's your energy boost! It's what keeps you pushing even after you felt like you had all you can give...but then you find you can still give MORE!!!! You sweat your A$$ off in these workouts and before you  know it you will see results like you've never seen before...oh and each and every time you are taught in CLASS by none other than CHALENE JOHNSON!! Now you have your very own personal training sessions right in the comfort of you home!! No one has to see you tripping over your feet, no one has to see you sweating like a pig, no one has to see period - besides YOU!!!!

No Bake Energy Bites

This recipe one of my challengers shared with me as she was trying to find Clean Eating Snack ideas.  I loved all the ingredients that were listed so I thought I should give it a try as well.


No Bake Energy Bites

Ingredients...
1 cup Old fashioned oats
2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/3 cup honey
Making No Bake Energy Bites with my little helper
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions...
1.  Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed.


2.  Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.
3.  Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you like.  
4.  Store in airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to one week.

ENJOY!!!!!
Makes about 20-25 balls


Again, another clean recipe that my family and I loved!  My daughter especially kept coming back for more!!
If you want to make the recipe even cleaner opt to not add the chocolate chips. I personally chose to add the chocolate chips this time around.


If you are interested in learning more about clean eating (a much healthier version of eating) feel free to MESSAGE ME.  I have a ton of recipes that have yet to be posted and every week I do a meal plan so I can keep myself and my family on track.  You never know what each day brings so at least you can be prepared when it comes to the food you put in your mouth!!

Homemade Quinoa Protein Bars

Who knew there were all these different recipes for this amazing food called Quinoa.  The more I use it, the more I love it.  So why is Quinoa so amazing you might ask?? It is very high in protein and has every one of the nine essential amino acids  These nine amino acids are the ones that your body cannot synthesize in quantities sufficient to sustain good health, so they need to come from food sources. Quinoa is the only plant-based protein to contain all 9 essential amino acids.  Many people think that quinoa is a type of grain, but its not.  Quinoa is actually the seed of a plant related to spinach.  Huh?  Who knew??  Another piece of information I found was Quinoa is grown in the mountains of Ecuador and was once called "the gold of the Inca's" because of how it increased stamina.  Little did the Inca's know "the gold" was also jam packed full of nutrients and amino acids. 

So if you haven't tried Quinoa yet, I would highly recommend it.  If you can cook rice, you can cook quinoa.  The proportions are the same: two part liquid to one part quinoa.  Bring water to a boil and add quinoa.  The only difference is time (which is another thing I love), quinoa only needs to simmer for 15-20 minutes.  You can substitute quinoa in any recipe that would use rice.


Okay, Okay enough about Quinoa, lets get to a new recipe I tried today.  I received this recipe from a friend and I am so thankful she shared it with me because these bars were delicious. Easy to make, packed with protein and nutrition, and perfect for our mid-morning snack. 


                 HOMEMADE QUINOA PROTEIN BARS






Ingredients...
2 cups cooked quinoa
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 rolled oats
1 banana
1 egg
1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut*
1/2 cup chocolate chunks or go for a healthier variety and use 1/2 cup dates, raisins, or nuts**

Directions
1. Mix cooked quinoa, peanut butter, honey, and sea salt well
2. Add in oats, banana, egg, coconut, and chocolate/dates/raisins/nuts
3. Mix well and spread out mixture on parchment paper lined pan
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes


This is what the bars looked like after taking them out of the oven
(well with the exception of what we ate)


*If you don't like coconut (which I personally love but could not taste it in this recipe) you could use 1/4 cup ground flax seed and 1/4 cup wheat bran as a substitute

**You can use anything you like.  The original recipe calls for chocolate chunks but I wanted to make a healthier variety so I choose raisins (my kids love raisins and I wanted this to be a snack for all of us).  





ENJOY - these are sure to become a family favorite.  
I have already written out the recipe card and it is now in our recipe box!!!!

Busy Life, Healthy Way Challenge Group

These days is seems harder and harder to get DONE what we need to get DONE, right?!?!  Our to do lists are ever growing and we are constantly being asked to do more and yet we find ourselves saying YES even though we don't know how in the world we will be able to do it.  Anyone with me?  

On top of it all, you know you should be taking care of yourself but really WHO HAS TIME to do that?  By the time you get home from work or have time after the kids are to bed the last thing you want to do is exercise, STILL WITH ME??  

Oh, eating healthy - HA, who has time to do that? and who can afford to buy all that fresh food at all those expensive markets?  

LISTEN TO ME AND HEAR ME...
THESE ARE ALL EXCUSES YOU ARE TELLING YOURSELF!! 
THIS IS YOUR OUT FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF!!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news people, but we all can find the time to take better care of ourselves.  



Okay so you agree with me that I am right and you are making excuses for not finding the time to take care of yourself.  Well what are you going to do about it?  Do you have any idea where to start?  Yes we all know we should exercise for at least 20 minutes a day and eat healthy but how when life is already so busy, how do you find the time to do this?  


Believe it or not, I too was in this same situation almost a year ago exactly!! I knew what I had to do but didn't know how to do it.  

Luckily I was able to find someone who did know what to do and had done it herself. She was my inspiration and she was able to lay the path for me to a healthier and MUCH happier lifestyle.  Yes, I still struggle with managing everything I need to get done but even that I am getting better at. Having my health on my side and at its peak performance I am able to manage a much tougher schedule and I get a ton more done than I use to.  





Here is what you have to do - TRUST ME!! 
Allow me to show you the path that I was fortunate to learn.
Allow me to share with you the tips and tricks that allow me to eat healthy and stay on a budget.
Allow me to share with you and help you learn how to incorporate exercise into your already booked day.
Allow me to be your COACH!!

Trying to do it by yourself and all at once can set you up for failure.  I am here to set you up for success.  
Join me and CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!


I am putting together a group of people who already lead busy lives BUT want to make positive changes to their lives.  

The people I am looking for want to incorporate exercise, healthy eating, and better time management into their lives. 

 The people I am looking for can be male, female, working, stay at home, students, etc.  

All I need from these people is their COMMITMENT to be ALL IN and be ready to make changes that will drastically change their future.

Today 
I am announcing the Kick off of my 
latest and greatest challenge group!!!!



Okay what is this challenge group all about?  

First this is a small private group of individuals who will all give me their commitment to be an active participant int he group.  The group will be of like minded people who want to lose weight, get in shape, have  more ENERGY, and eat healthier.  I will create a private facebook group for us all to be a part of.  We will be doing this together as a team.  We will be there for each other to support, motivate, and inspire!  I will share with you how you can lose weight, gain muscle, tone your body, meal planning tips, sample meal plans, help you build your very own meal plan, fitness tips and tricks, free coaching by ME, how to shop for healthy foods (and on a budget), how to increase your energy, time management tips, and the list goes on and on.  I am also very  open to suggestions on what topics YOU as a challenger want to be covered.  We all have our own personal obstacles to overcome so voice them to me and we can talk about them individually or as a group - its your call!!  I check in with you on a daily basis in the group.  When you have the daily support, it makes a huge difference in the outcome.  It then becomes a ripple effect of positivity!  You feel better about yourself, you look better, you have more energy, and you start to notice what a difference all of these positive changes are having on your LIFE!!!!  

This is not about working out all day or starving yourself.  This is a program that is proven to get you results that helps teach you about a healthy lifestyle for LASTING results.  I want you to succeed and not give up or bounce back.
