Harvest your Hottie for Fall


How do you feel when you have accomplished something that you consider TOUGH?
These are the women I am looking for:
The ladies who think think that weight loss or confidence in their own skin is a very distant concept. The ones who think they have to feel uncomfortable forever because they “just can’t lose weight.”
I’m looking for them because I USE TO BE THEM!

Are you someone who would feel PROUD of YOURSELF if you were to drop 10-15 lbs? It is really not about the actual pounds as it is about you FEEL at your CURRENT weight---because you just don't feel good. 
Can you relate?
You need to join me in my November 3rd Challenge. Seriously. You do.
I was VERY doubtful that a HOME workout program would make me lose the inches I lost and more so I was doubtful that the stubborn number on the scale would move. BUT 21 days later- it did! It can be done. 
21 Day FIX is my VERY favorite program. WHY? It is short and sweet. You eat normal food. There is no confusion on what to eat with this program. You don't have to spend hours of prep time. It is SO simple. It is fun, especially when you combine it with a group of ladies doing the exact SAME thing! 
There are many other programs we can choose from for you too if you would rather do something different. No matter what program you choose, you will have one on one support with me, a FUN, private group to be a part of for constant support and motivation, nutrition tips and meal ideas, and you will tone, tighten, and lose weight before the holiday pictures. 

I am only accepting TEN women this time. 
We are starting on NOVEMBER 3rd… last day to get committed is October 29… so lets get you all set up!
The Holidays are right around the corner and we want to Harvest your Inner Hottie! So I am only taking the 10 most serious ladies! 
I want to use your before and better yet your AFTER pictures right here on my blog to encourage other women! 
Real Results from my last group!
Apply here to be a part of this group!

What is PiYo?

Have you heard of PiYo yet? It was created by one of my favorite trainers, Chalene Johnson, (other programs include; TurboKick, TurboFire, TurboJam, Chalean Extreme, etc). It has been around in gyms for years, but now she has put together a PiYo workout for home DVD through Beachbody. I have taken a live class and have fallen in love. I can not wait for the new program to come out!

What is PiYo?

PiYo is a full body workout that is designed to build strength, increase endurance, and gain flexibility through a unique blend of Yoga and Pilates. The moves fit perfectly together to form a class filled with intense choreography that's fun, challenging, and will make you sweat. It is perfect for beginners or someone who is super fit. This workout is calorie torching and is all about energy, power, and rhythm. Think sculpted abs with increased overall core strength and greater stability.

This program is a low impact workout and there is no jumping or weights required. It will be an awesome option if you are traveling because all you will need are your workout clothes and a DVD player. How awesome is that?





 PiYo Workout By Chalene Johnson Details

  • 60 day workout
  • 9 workouts total
  • 25-45 minute workouts
  • PiYo has modifications offered for beginners, and is great for advanced exercisers as well to help lengthen muscles and burn more calories. (If you don't follow Chalene on Instagram you should, its amazing to me how much HER body has changed in the last few months from doing PiYo!)
  • Coaches get the program a full two weeks before it is released through Beachbody. What does that mean? It means you can get this two weeks earlier than the public through me. Click here to leave your email so that you can get a reminder from me.




My experience with PiYo

I took a PiYo a live PiYo class. I have always had a love for Yoga, but this was so much more fun. I loved every muscle burning minute of it. I drenched in sweat just as if I had down Insanity. The next day I was so sore I could barely get out of bed! I love that kind of soreness though, because it lets me know that I got a great workout in!

This is how Chalene describes PiYo:  "PiYo™, a strength workout, is all about working it to get the most for your money. It’s the perfect blend of many disciplines: sports training, core conditioning, dance, stretch, and athletic drills that will help kick up the calorie burn and build muscle! The dynamic blend of movement increases strength, core stability, and agility. This workout provides an incredible experience and helps you lose weight."





By signing up your email you will be among the first to know the day PiYo is released you will also be eligble for free coaching from me as well as being placed in my PiYo test group. What is this test group? You will be among the first to see results from PiYo and be surrounded with other people doing the same workout for accountability and amazing support. 


Beachbody conducted their own test group and here are some of the amazing results to come out of it:

Struggling to lose weight!





    Have you always been taught that you need to exercise more and eat less to lose weight? Has this left you struggling to follow a workout plan because all you can think about is food? This leaves you starving and then you binge. Then you think to yourself well I have blown my diet, so I will just eat what I want today and start over tomorrow. Then when tomorrow comes you say well I will just start over Monday, right? Monday comes and you just don't have the energy to do the whole diet over again!

     I KNOW how this feels. It does not have to be this way! You can eat and lose weight. I know this sounds crazy because we have always been told to keep our calories low to lose weight. As long as you are working out you can eat more calories. You don't have to eat a bunch of nontasty foods. Do you have to eat healthy? Yes of course! Does it have to be stuff you don't like? NO!!!




     When I started my journey 4 years ago I had NO idea about how to eat healthy. Honestly, I thought eating healthy was a no carb diet! Which was so popular at the time. I tried that and did lose a little weight, but because I was exercising I was SO tired. I quit that and went back to eating the junk I had always eaten. I didn't get the results that I had planned on getting, BUT what happened was that I didn't quit exercising. It made me feel good, it made me feel healthy. What happened next is that I plugged in to communities of healthy people and did tons of research. I have learned so much along the way. How to eat clean and unprocessed foods as much as possible. How to do this slowly over time, so that you won't fail this time. I have lost 30 pounds by eating healthy, working out, and drinking Shakeology. I feel healthier than I have ever felt. My passion is to help people feel the same!





Does this sound like something that would benefit you? Have you tried losing weight and exercising but failed because the "diet" was just to hard? I know that feeling all to well. I have overcome it though and I would love to help you overcome it too! My new group starts on Jan 1. If you want to be a part of that and get support to help you lose this weight fill out this challenger application:

P90X3 will be here December 10th!

P90X3 will be here December 10th on sale for the month of December plus a FREE P90X3 hat when you order by signing up for a free account here!


P90X3

My very first Beachbody program was P90 and then P90X, although I have never done P90X2 I am super pumped for P90X3! Why am I so excited????

First, this program is NOT a graduate program. That means that if you have never done P90X or P90X2 it is totally okay and you can do P90X3! Secondly, all 20 workouts are 30 minutes! BOOM! This is awesome compared to the long workouts of P90X which could be an hour and fifteen minutes long. Who has time for that? I know since I am a busy mom I certainly do not have time for that. I LOVE Tony Horton though, he is funny during the workouts and serious about fitness. 30 minutes is going to be perfect for me as a busy Mom!




I will be running a P90X3 test group of my own. What does this mean? You buy the challenge pack on december 10- December 31 and you will be placed in my exclusive P90X3 test group. You will be among the first people to try the program and see the results YOU get from the program. I will provide accountability and support for you and the other participants in my challenge group daily as well as weekly phone calls to keep you on track. If this sounds like something that would benefit you please sign up for a free account here and email me at fitnic13@aol.com with subject line "P90X3 test group". Group will be starting January 1st, just in time to meet those New Year's resolutions!

Tony says, "You know what I keep hearing lately? "Tony, your programs are awesome, they make me look incredible. But an hour every day? Come on . . .!!! I get it. You want the results, and you're willing to do the work, but your freakin' schedule is jam-packed."
So what did he do about this? He took everything he learned from P90X and P90X2 and coupled it with new science that shows intense 30 minute workouts can get you in better shape faster and slammed it all into overdrive! The results? Short, targeted, intense workouts that take just 30 minutes--but leave you looking like you'be been tearing it up in the gym all day, every day.

Results from the P90X3 Test Group:



Seeing the results from the test group completely sold me on this program. I know 30 minutes is something that is total doable with my schedule, but I also know that it is going to totally kick my butt too. The results in these pictures just go to show you that 30 minutes can be effective. As a matter of fact all but one of the test group participates lost 10% of their body fat in the 90 day program. Isn't that amazing?? 10% is a lot, wouldn't it be phenominal to get these results?





What will you need for P90X3? 

Tony said NO running shoes of any kind because these will actually hurt your feet. He says go for cross training, volleyball, or babsketball shoes. The reason is that you will be moving laterally and all around not just forward like in running, and these types of shoes will give you the support you need while keep your feet protected!


Ordering P90X3

Sign up here for a free account and I will send you a reminder email on December 10th. P90X3 will be available by itself or in a Challenge Pack (P90X3 + Shakeology + nutrition plan + a 30 Day Club Membership with Meal Planning Tools) on December 10, 2013. IT WILL BE AT A SALE PRICE!! It will be $180 for December and back up to $205 after December 31, 2013.

If you order through me, or your existing Beachbody coach, by December 31st, you’ll also receive a free 1-on-1 leg workout DVD by Tony and a P90X3 hat. (Sign up for first access to P90X3 through a email reminder) www.teambeachbody.com/msfroggie7
I’ll also be doing P90X3 with a small test group starting January 1st, so if you want in the group please let me know now so I can save you a spot! Email me at fitnic13@aol.com with the subject line “P90X3 Challenge Group”
They also broke down when the program would arrive for anyone wanting to get ready for the new year.
If you want it by Christmas, you need to order it between 12/10-12/15.
If you want it by January 1st, you need to order between 12/10-12/22.
They do predict the individual workout will sell out. You will be able to buy it in a pack through 12/31 for the sale price!

Another Success Story, my sweet friend Tracy

     I met Tracy during a very rough spot in my life, and one in hers. We have become such great friends even though we have never met in person. She has been a person that I could pour my heart out to and she totally understand me and gets it! God certainly knew what he was doing when he crossed our paths. She was one of the very first people to support me in my Beachbody business. She saw that I truly believed in Beachbody products and decided to give it a try.


     She has now completed two Beachbody programs, Chalean Extreme and TurboFire, and she got some amazing results! She has had 4 kids and wasn't overweight, but she wasn't happy with the body she now had. Tracy's goal was to lose 10 pounds and to feel comfortable in her own skin again. When she looked at pictures of herself she saw a lady who was beautiful, but covered herself with baggy clothes. She was not comfortable wearing bathing suits when she took her kids swimming. 

    She completed Chalene Extreme first and saw some amazing results from this program. She started to lose weight like crazy which is what the program promises. She actually had to up her calories intake because her weight started to come off so fast. She gained lean muscle and her bicep muscle was out of this world! When she completed this program she loved Chalene Johnson so much that she decided to do TurboFire and she continued to get some amazing results even though she did not believe she would get anymore then she already had. 

     Tracy also had to workout at home because she has 4 kids. It was important that she do something that she could do at home while the kids were playing. It is so funny to see pictures of her kids flexing their muscles or to hear about her 2 year old saying she wants to go size (short for exercise). Not only is she making herself healthy, but she is an example for her kids. I can guarantee that that will carry over into their adulthoods. How awesome is that? Knowing that you provided that for your kids so they never have to struggle with the things that we have as far as weight loss or being healthy goes. It gives me goosebumps! 

     Her total weight lost is 17 pounds. Total inches lost 17 inches. Waist -4 inches, hips -1 in, abductors -3 in, chest -3 in, arms -1 in each, and thighs -2 in in each! Are these not amazing numbers! She got the inches lost in all the right spots, and she looks amazing and gorgeous! Tracy now feels comfortable in her own skin. She wears clothes that fit her and feels comfortable doing that as well. She loved the format of the challenge group because the members help you to be accountable, and when you feel down they pick you up. The support is out of this world. Tracy gives some great advice to our challenge group. I feel so blessed and honored that she trusted me to help her in this journey. She has given our group so much support and encouragement and it wouldn't be the same without her in it! 

    What does Tracy have to say now that she has completed two Beachbody Programs? "I am in better shape now at 41 then I have ever been in! And above all I love that I started paying more attention to eating. We aren't perfect and we still have our treats and pizza nights for sure. But I am making better choices for myself, and for what my family is putting in their bodies. And finally now, that I have surpassed any goal I set for myself and didn't even think was possible (I lost 10 lbs more than the goal I had set!!!) I am learning balance in my eating, learning to enjoy food and be smart about it, but also to not have as much guilt if I have a not so good day!"

Goal Setting for Weight Loss or Fitness Results

    I was reevaluating my goals this morning and trying to figure out what I need to do to reach my next set of goals. This got me thinking about goals and why we should set them. Wikipedia defines goals as "a desired result a person or a system envisions, plans and commits to achieve a personal or organizational desired end point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines."

   So why set goals for weight loss? Goals are important for any tasks in life, but essential in weight loss. Why though? Because it helps to keep you accountable to yourself and what you want. I didn't know this 5 years ago when I begin my weight loss/fitness journey. If I had, I think that I would have reached my goal much sooner then I did.

   When setting your goals for weight loss, you have to be specific with it. For example, I wanted to lose 20lbs when I first started my journey, but I didn't set a specific time frame and therefore it took me several years just to lose 20 lbs. I did it without a deadline. I knew what I wanted, but I didn't have a specific time frame in mind so therefore I didn't push myself or hold myself accountable to my end goal. I have finally reached my end result of losing 30 lbs, but took me much longer then desired.

    When I started a new weight loss support group. I always ask the challengers to set a goal weight loss and a time frame. If we started today and they wanted to lose 10 lbs I would ask them to pick a time frame they wanted to lose this weight by. Some say by the end of the challenge or within 45 days which would be the half way point. I help to hold them accountable to their goal.



    When you want to lose weight set a goal, and be specific with it. Say I want to lose ____ lbs by ____ date and be realistic. You won't lose 50 lbs in a month, but you could in 6 months! Set miniature goals to achieve larger weight loses. If it is 50 lbs say I will lose 10 lbs by 30 days from now. Next step, write it down on several sticky notes or pieces of paper and put it in places where you will see it everyday. For example, on the pantry, the refrigerator, the bathroom mirror, the dashboard of your car, your desk at work, and any place where you will see it often! It helps to see it so when you want to sneak that cookie and you see that note, it will help to hold you accountable to your goal and the time frame in which you want to reach it.


    Do you need help to reach your goal weight? Do you need help setting those goals? Follow me at www.facebook.com/nicolemcduffiesfitness and message me there or at fitnic13@aol.com. My coaching is always free! I would love to help get you started on reaching your dream weight and goals!

Jenny's transformation

   Good evening everyone! I have been wanting to sit down and share the progress of one my challenger's, Jenny. We started this group as the Focus T25 test group since it was a new program this past summer. This challenge group was so active and I am proud of each one of the ladies in my group! Most of them have finished T25 and have gone on to do other Beachbody workouts so we decided to keep the group open and going. I have come to care for these ladies and have so much respect for each one of them! Because of their commitment to the workouts and nutrition they are all getting amazing results! So I am sure that you will be reading more of these success stories!

   Jenny has two kids, a husband, works full time, and has many other responsibilities along with a very active family life. It would be so easy for her to skip out on her workout, or to pick up fast food for dinner. It would have been easy for her to make excuses. She doesn't though, this lady is the picture of dedication and even worked out in her camper while on vacation! She decided this past May that enough was enough and she has shown up each and every day.

   

   She put her whole self into this and because of that has gotten some serious results. With her program T25 she put in 25 minutes a day 5 days a week, that is the level of commitment for this program. No spending hours away from her family at the gym or getting up hours ahead of her family to go to the gym! I am so proud of Jenny for committing to this program and seeing it to the end.

   She trusted me when I told her that this program would work to help her lose weight and inches. I know you see these programs on infomercials and wonder if it really works, or if those before and afters are real. Well this one is real! You are scared to invest because maybe it won't work and it will just collect dust on the shelf right? I have to say that the a huge part of it collected dust or not is the support that you get out of these groups! The people in the group keep you accountable to the food you are eating, the workouts, they are there for you when you are having a down day, or when you are having a great day and the bond is irreplaceable! 



Jenny's results with T25:

Waist: 10"
Thighs: 3.5"/3"
Arms: 2.5" off of both
Hips: 9"
Neck: 2.7"

For a total of: 28.2 inches! Isn't that amazing? That is not all before T25, Jenny, did another Beachbody program called Turbojam. Between this program and T25 she has lost a total of 70.2 inches and 50lbs! That is some serious dedication and I can't begin to describe how inspiring this woman is to me! 





Weight loss support groups are unique and here is what Jenny had to say about ours:

Are you looking for that type of support? Join my next weight loss support/challenge group starting October 28th, and get a jump start on that New Year's resolution!

14 Simple Tips for Weight Loss



We all need help when it comes to losing weight. Here are a few things that I have learned along the way in my journey. I hope that it will help you in yours!

1. Get rid of the dieter's mentality: I know this is one you have heard before, but don't make this a "diet"make it a lifestyle change. When you say this is a diet it implies that you will go back to your old eating habits. So get out of that mind set. Say you are not dieting you are on a journey to eat healthier for the rest of your life. Eating healthy doesn't have to taste bad or be boring.

2. Cut your portion sizes: Many people eat way bigger portions than they should. Use the following picture as a reference.

3. Track your food: Download an app that allows you to track your food, such as MyFitnessPal, or track it in a food diary. Track every bite you put in your mouth. If you are a Mom like me than you may be eating more calories than you think, like a bite here or there of your kids food!

4. Make specific goals: Don't just write down a goal like I want to lose 20lbs. Make it as specific as possible such as I will lose 20lbs by Christmas Day. This makes it realistic and gives you an idea of how many pounds you need to lose each week.

5. Cut out empty calories: No more sodas or juice, this includes diet sodas.

6. Exercise: Exercise at least 3 to 4 times a week. It can be a walk, jog, workout program, or challenge from pintrest. Just get moving for at least 30 minutes 3 to 4 times a week.

7. Eat more veggies and fruit: Veggies are like free foods. Low in calories, dense, filling, and nutritious. I don't enjoy vegetables a whole lot, but I have found different ways of seasoning them and I have found that I love them more now! Fruits are just as good for you! Eat a fist full several times daily.

8. Eat less processed foods: I know this is a hard one in our busy world, but you will lose more if you can cut out the processed foods. It is very easy to do this. I turn to other blogs and make foods that are healthy and family friendly now!

9. Clean out your pantry: Get rid of all the tempting foods in your pantry like cookies and chips. By doing this you will be getting rid of the temptations.

10. Avoid hunger: It takes a little longer, but if you plan, prep, and prepare all your meals you are less likely to get so hungry that you binge. I find that when I don't have some planned out for dinner we will tend to eat out or binge. It seriously pays to plan ahead!

11. Tell all your family and friends: Studies have shown that those who have the support of family and friends are more likely to lose weight than those who don't.

12. Treat yourself in moderation: If you have a cheat meal, don't go overboard. Enjoy it, but just make it a meal not a cheat day! Also, if you want a piece of candy get a fun sized piece, or have a small piece of cake instead of a large one. If you treat yourself you are less likely to feel deprived and then binge. So treat yourself just in moderation, and no more then a couple times a week.
 
13. Motivate yourself: Go buy that bikini that you want to wear, a to small dress, or to small pair of jeans. Hang it wear you can see it everyday. This is will give you the motivation you need to keep going.
 

14. Reward yourself: For every 5lbs or 10lbs you lose reward yourself. Not with treats, but go buy a movie, dvd, or something like that when you meet each small goal.
 
So here are some simple steps or ideas to help you on your weight loss journey. Follow me on facebook for daily tips. www.facebook.com/nicolemcduffiesfitness.

7 Day Shakeology Challenge

 
   Anyone interested in doing a 7 day shakeology challenge with me? I drink Shakeology everyday, but I KNOW how nervous I was to commit to it. It honestly took me several months to actually commit to order it. I wondered if this would really work, especially because I couldn't try it before I buy it. What if I didn't like it, what if I didn't like the way it tasted, what if, what if what if.
 
   Thankfully, I was in a challenge group and so many participants talked it up, so I trusted them, took the plunge, and ordered it on home direct. I was really worried about home direct because honestly I don't like having to call somewhere and cancel anything. I just don't like the phone much! Luckily, Beachbody has an amazing customer service staff and if you need to postpone or cancel your order, you just shoot them an email.

   I am so glad that I got the full 30 day supply because to be honest with you, I didn't like it the first time I made it. GASP! I couldn't believe it tasted that way. I talked to my coach and she gave me some great recipes, ideas on how to make it, and how to not make it clumpy. It worked! I loved it after that and I still do! I am so glad that I took the leap and ordered it!

   If you are not yet addicted to Shakeology...Try it our for a week and see/FEEL the benefits for yourself.

   The purpose of this Challenge: Well it's designed for people who need a little help getting their fitness and nutrition journey going, but aren't ready to commit to a full 30, 60 or 90-day program yet (I know how overwhelming that can be!). This Shakeology Challenge will help you lose weight, incorporate exercise into your daily routine and get in the habit of eating healthy, balanced meals a day.

 
During the seven days, you will be asked to:
  • Replace one meal a day with Shakeology
  • Exercise at least 5 of the 7 days for at least 30 minutes (walking, jogging, Beachbody workout, gym, your choice! Just get moving!)
  • Eat healthy, nutrient dense meals 95% of the time. You can browse the challenge group for recipe ideas- I promise they are yummy. We will follow the Shakeology eating plan found here.
  • Drink at least 64 oz. of water per day
  • Weigh in only on days 1, 4 and 8 (for 7 full days of nutrition and exercise)
What do YOU get out of this? 
  • In 7 days you will FEEL the benefits of Shakeology, the energy it gives you, and honestly...eating clean just me in a better mood!
  • A closed Facebook group for Accountability, Support, and maybe a new friend!
  • Workout routine ideas and encouragement
  • Clean eating guidelines, tons of healthy and delicious recipes
  • A healthy routine that sets the wheels in motion for a healthier lifestyle 
  • Weight loss is an added bonus, the real benefit is in the foundation you lay and the nutrients your body will be getting
The Challenge starts October 6th!
You have two options for getting started:
#1 See Paypal form below to purchase your 7 Day Shakeology Kit or Send $40 to fitnic13@aol.com as a personal gift via paypal. Put your flavor preference in the notes section.
#2 Get the most bang for your buck and order a month supply of Shakeology (If you opt for the month supply, make sure you select Home Direct to save yourself $10 with free shipping.) The FIRST 3 Home Direct orders will receive a FREE Shakeology shaker cup from me. 


Ready to get started? Make sure you scroll down and fill out the 7 Day Shakeology application so I get to know your goals and I will add you to the group!

If I am not yet your coach, what are you waiting for? Go here now!

Chicken fajitas

 
I came across this clean eating Chicken Fajitas recipe a few days ago and we gave it a try last night. It was so good that I had to share it with you! I have a family of 6 so I have to use a bit more chicken. You will have to adjust this to your family size.

What you need:

Chicken
Yellow, orange, and red bell peppers (you can just use one color if you like)
olive oil
Fajita seasoning packet
Yellow onion (your discretion here)
100% whole wheat tortilla shells

 
Start with sautéing your chicken. I sautéed mine in a little bit of olive oil, until cooked all the way through. I then added the onion and bell peppers cut up, and cooked those for about 5 minutes. Next,  add 1 packet of fajita seasoning mix. I added the amount of water on the back of the package.   Last, let that cook and marinate while making homemade guacamole.

Guacamole recipe:
1 avocado
1/2 medium tomato
Dash of sea salt.

Blend all of this together in a food processor or similar. This was so good, I couldn't believe how easy it was to make and how amazing the flavor tasted.



Once this part is done you are ready to make your fajitas.




Possible garnishments: sour cream and cheese (go light on these, you don't want it to be unhealthy! ;) )


Be careful on your tortilla shells. Make sure it states 100% whole wheat, otherwise you may be getting some that have bleached flour in it even though it looks like its a wheat tortilla. Always read those labels!
