Meal Planning ReDo & Workout Update

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday...is it really only Wednesday?  

on the Beach in Cozumel, Mexico

Sunday when I put my weekly plan 

together seems forever ago yet it is only 3 days ago. Why does this week feel like it is dragging? I have a funny feeling it has something to do with me being in the Caribbean last week for my first ever vacation with only my husband since having children. AHHHH. Yes, I think my mind is still on vacation time!! 

Forgive me if this week I seem a bit on the slower side responding to messages or posting. I am working on them all just at a slower speed than I am use to!! 

Well as I said I did my meal planning on my Sunday like I always do BUT I did make a big boo boo on it. See I planned Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as my 21 Day Fix 3 day Quick Fix (don't know what the quick fix is?ASK!) and Friday includes a lot of meat. See I am Catholic and right now we are celebrating Lent and during lent we abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Again I don't know where my head was when I was putting together my meal plan this week but obviously it forgot about no Meat on Fridays. 

I have however NOT eaten Chocolate which I gave up for Lent so at least I remembered that one!! 

Since I made a boo boo on my meal plan I had to revise it for Friday. Now I plan on doing the 21 day Fix 3 day Quick Fix Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I debated doing this Quick Fix or the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse but since I have not done the Quick Fix yet I figured why not try it!! You know you never know the outcome until you try - RIGHT?!?!

Here is my revised Meal Plan for the week:

Still using the 21 day Fix color Coded Portion control system!!

I am back to P90x3 and I started Block 3 this week!! Excited to finish this program up in just a few more weeks!! I have loved every minute of it! Why? I find it challenging and although I don't always feel like I am working out (like holding yoga poses for 45 sec) I know that I am! Each week I have done this program I have seen progress which is always a good thing. My progress right now is different than others. My goal is to continue to maintain my goal weight which I have AND continue to define my muscles which this program has helped me do as well. 

I did take a break mid P90x3 to do the new program called the 21 Day Fix which is only 21 days in length. I did this because I wanted to be knowledgeable about the program so I could help my customers and challenge group participants. I also LOVED the 21 Day Fix. The moves seem simple enough when you start and then OH MY do you feel them!! I also love the color coded portion control container system used as well. (as you can see from my meal plan above I have continued using the color coded system). If you would like to read more about the 21 day fix please CLICK HERE for all the details!!

and also while I was away on vacation I got to meet the creator of the 21 day Fix - Autumn Calabrese!! I was so excited!! I didn't even care I was soaked with sweat from after completing her live workout aboard the S.S. Beachbody Cruise that I won!!

ahh, me and Autumn Calabrese - creator of the 21 day Fix.
This pic was a prize I earned for my success as a coach!!

Well no time like the present to get myself back into my groove and finish this week off strong!  Yes I have the post vacation blues but at least I have a wonderful job that allows me to stay at home with my kids and provide for my family! I have a great family, great friends, and great customers. It is because of these special people in my life I do my best to make the most of every single day!! No more living life according to someone else's schedule - my life, my decisions!! I choose to live WELL - healthy, fit, and financially secure!!

Be on the lookout for my upcoming Health and Fitness Challenge groups as I plan on making the most of April!! Many people have come to me and are dreading the summer months in bathing suits!! You don't have to be one of those people, instead join me and learn how you to can improve not only your body but your mind and life as well!! 

Now is the time to learn how to live a 

FIT, HAPPY, and HEALTHY Life 

and we will do it 

TOGETHER!!!!

A special Thank you to my Customers

The time has come and I cannot wait to announce a special way I would like to thank my customers who have been so willing to refer their friends, family members, colleagues, and others to me.  

All of these people understand the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.  These individuals  have taken it one step further and have helped others learn that living  a healthy lifestyle is possible and is not a huge expense (like so many believe it is). We all need helping hands in our lives and I am thankful for my customers who have been so kind to share my name with others.  Best of all together we are helping others achieve their health and fitness goals and that is what matters most!! 

I have a year long referral program currently but for the last week of February I am upping the ante and offering an additional thank you to any of my customers who refer someone to join me.  That person would need to become a customer of mine with a Challenge Pack purchase. For each referral with Challenge Pack that comes my way starting Today, February 24th through 9pm EST Friday, February 28th the referring person will first receive a free gift from me plus an entry into a drawing for a free month supply of Shakeology. This drawing will be held on Saturday, March 1st. (all 2014 of course!)

A few questions answered:

Why am I doing this special thank you? 
February is a very special month for me first because it is my birthday month but second because it is when I got started in my own health and fitness journey.  I remember how scared I was, I remember how skeptical I was of drinking Shakeology, I remember how I wasn't sure if I could afford  my Chalean Extreme challenge pack but in the end I did it because I knew I had to.  My health would not magically get better if I didn't start eating healthier and exercising. I needed a change and this was it!!  I had tried exercising and eating healthy on my own before Beachbody and yes I had some success but I wanted to get to my goal like most of us RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT!! The other programs I had done did not get me to where I wanted to be.  My beachbody fitness programs, shakeology, and adopting clean eating have helped me reach better than my goal and stay here for over a year now. I want to share this with others and let them know sometimes you have to take that leap of faith and just do it!!

Why a Challenge Pack purchase?
I believe very strongly in Challenge packs and that is because these packs are a combination of both fitness and nutrition. These two components are critical to success in leading a healthy lifestyle. The challenge pack includes a complete workout program, 30 day supply of Shakeology, 30 day Club membership, free shipping, and ME as your coach!! Another benefit of the challenge pack is you get significant savings compared to purchasing the products separately.  For all you that know me, you know I love to save money where I can.  That is why I feel the challenge pack offers are the best deals if you are serious about getting started on your journey to living a healthy lifestyle.  

What does one have to do to take advantage of this special referral offer?
First you need to be a customer of mine, so if you are not already please CREATE A FREE MEMBERSHIP. 

Second the person you are referring needs to contact me at alysonhorcher@gmail.com and advise me of who referred them.  
We will discuss health and fitness goals and determine the best challenge pack to fit their needs and wants.  

Once your referral purchases their challenge pack I will contact you to redeem your free gift and I will then enter your name into the month Supply of Shakeology drawing. 

Any questions, please ask!! 

Not everyone knows how to get started, Not everyone can do it on their own.  We are here to help not only ourselves but others!!

Refer a friend and you both can enjoy Health Together!!

Now is the time to learn how to

Live a Fit, Happy, and Healthy life

and WE will do it 

TOGETHER!!!!
