Progress

I've been focused on building my endurance so that I can become a PIYO Certified Instructor!

It's mind blowing to think how much the people you spend the most time with can have such an influence on your thoughts and actions whether they be good or bad. You ARE the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Really think about that. 

I've been spending more of my time with other fitness instructors and workout buddies and it has made such positive influence on me. I love it! 

‪#‎HelloEndorphins‬ ‪#‎ChasingDreams‬

Summer is here, school is out and schedules have changed and as a mom of four I know I still need and want time to focus on my health and fitness goals.

I know that when you take care of yourself you better take care of those around you. And let's face it we want to feel and look good this summer!

SO, I've put together a 21 day bootcamp for women like myself that PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING:
1) One of the hottest home workout programs that has been giving some many people FAST, HEALTHY results in 30 mins a day. 
2) A nutrition guide tailored to your goals that teaches you what should be on your plate and even food containers to measure your food! 
3) Calendar to follow
4) Recipes + 30 servings of a TRUSTABLE, good tasting meal replacement shake
5) My support, guidance and motivation including a large group of supportive bootcampers (is that a word?)

WHATS REQUIRED OF YOU:
-You obtain the bundle of fitness goodies through myself by June 22nd! (Your worth it!)
-You commit to following the plan for 21 days with my support.
-You show support to other bootcampers such as yourself as they support you.
-You post into the group for accountability for 21 days.

IF you don't feeling more energetic, lose weight, sculpt or get the results you were looking for you can get a full refund!

I call this my Starting Over Bootcamp because I started over, changed the path I was on, starting taking care of myself and it's the best thing I could have ever done.

Shakeology Donuts

 Shakeology No-Bake Cookies/Donuts 

(Makes 20 servings, 1 donut each) 

Total Time: 10 min.
Prep Time: 10 min.

1 cup Chocolate or vanilla Shakeology
1 cup all-natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup raw honey

Combine peanut butter, oats, honey, and shakeology in a medium bowl; mix well with with a rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into twenty balls, each about 1-inch in size for 24 cookies. Flatten each slightly so that it is shaped like a traditional cookie.

For donuts I used a store bought donut pan. So all I had to do was smash them in to shape them as small donuts. SO fun and SO good!

They taste like a gooey protein bar. Keep them in the refrigerator so they'll hold tightly together. Not required though. FOUR EASY INGREDIENTS. Anyone can do this!

NO SHAKEOLOGY AT HOME? You can order it here - Shop Shakeology
The most cost effective way to buying shakeology is to buy in a bundle pack that includes a workout program. In the month of June when you buy 30 servings of shakeology you get the 21 day fix program for $10!!! It saves to go that route. You can do that here - Shop Challenge Pack

You can buy the donut pan on Amazon here - http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Nonstick-12-Cavity-Mini-Donut/

**My Transformation**

Left - hopeless. Middle - gettin' there. Right - hopeful Left - depressed. Right - happiest I've ever been. 
Left - eat junk food. Right - eat whole foods 6 times a day.
Left - never exercised, "no time". Right - exercise 5 days a week. 
Left - ended unhealthy relationship/divorced. Right - happily married.
Left - didn't take time for myself "didn't want to be selfish". Right - spends 1.5+ hrs every morning exercising and reading personal development books.
Left - homeless on food stamps (staying with fam). Right - building a residual income from MY home.
Left - stay at home mom. Right - entrepreneur at home mom (haha)
Left - before joining Beachbody. Right - after joining Beachbody

So.... this clearly is not your typical transformation and I used to want to hide the fact that I was under weight. I GAINED weight and muscle as my Beachbody transformation yes and am proud of that... now. 
It was a struggle sticking to a new routine for sure. I slipped up, ate bad, missed workouts (thought I messed it all up and had to quit) but kept going.

A LOT of things have changed in my life and it started when I gained support through the Beachbody community, my friends and my personal coach helping me to see that I was worth the money, time, and effort.

If YOU WANT TO START your weight loss (or gain, haha) journey I'm here ready to help and am looking for 3 to 5 new people to join my next fitness challenge group. The struggle is real! Don't try to do it alone. Message me or e-mail me at SuzieBBCoach@gmail.com
