Core De Force | Country Heat | What is a Beachbody Coach | Where To Buy Shakeology | 21 Day Fix: PIYO Week 4 Progress Update and Meal Plan

So, like any other week, last week was busy! I knew I would be facing some challenges because of a couple of daily out of town trips, so I made sure I had a plan in place! For starters, I tried TWO new recipes last week! The first was called Clean Eating Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. I was unsure of how they would turn out, so they are not noted on my meal plan below. I have to say, they were absolutely delicious! Even my 2 year old loved them! You should definitely give them a try!

The other new recipe was Stuffed Zucchini . I have to say, I was a little nervous as to how this was going to turn out. My husband is not very fond of vegetables and that's about all this dinner included! I gave him a heads up that I was making it so he was prepared. I knew right away this dinner would be right up my alley, but I was quite surprised when my husband loved it too! So, there you have it! A husband-approved vegetable dinner!

The rest of my meal plan includes my usual. I am such a creature of habit! When I find foods that I like, and are healthy, then I stick to them. It's like the saying, If it's not broken, why fix it?! What I DO do is vary my dinners. I know not everyone is like that, which is why I really try to include some new snacks/meals to give options.

Shakeology

The one meal that you will ALWAYS see on a daily basis (and sometimes twice in a day) is my Shakeology! I seriously do not know what I would do without it! It is the one meal, day in and day out, that I truly look forward to! It provides me with energy and definitely helps curb my cravings, just to name a couple of the benefits! I love that in just one meal I am getting my daily dose of nutrients, not to mention it is delicious! A huge perk, especially on those extra busy days, is having something that is super convenient! I mentioned earlier that I had a couple of out of town day trips last week. It's tough to stay on track when you have days like that! It's easy to just hit up a drive-thru or bring along a small bag of chips, combos, candy bar, etc in the car. It's even easier to grab your soda/pop to give you a little extra boost. I can tell you, I am NOT falling in to that trap again! Now that I drink Shakeology, I ALWAYS use it when I am going to be in my car for a meal. I blend it up in the morning, pack it in my cooler with an ice pack, and I'm all set!

PIYO Drench Workout

Wednesday: Core - I had planned on doing a new workout, Hardcore on the Floor, but I ended up replacing it with Core. This is a great workout that has really been building up my stomach muscles.

Thursday: Drench - Ok, let's talk Drench for a second. OH MY GOODNESS! Yes, it is a longer workout coming in at 46 minutes. With all of the short Beachbody workouts that have come out within the past few months, 46 minutes seems like a long time, but, it is TOTALLY worth it!! I was seriously DRENCHED by the end!

So, there you have it! Week 4 is in the books and I will soon be closing out Week 5! At first when I saw PiYO was a 60 day program my first thought was, that's a long time! Especially after doing the 21 Day Fix for the past several months! Now that I only have a few weeks left, I can honestly say it flew by! And, I ended up repeating Week 3!

I love that I have my online accountability groups to keep me motivated. Yes, I am a coach and yes, I run monthly groups where I provide the support, accountability, and motivation to keep everyone on track, but what you may not realize is I need that motivation too! The challengers that enter in to my groups keep me as much motivated as I do them!

If you are interested in joining one of my End of Summer August Online Accountability Groups, it's not too late! I would love to help guide you on the path to a healthy lifestyle by sharing what has worked for me and my family. There are some GREAT August promotions that you can take advantage of.
