Shakeology Cleanse

Shakeology® Cleanse

Today I’m going to tell you another really great tip to jumpstart your journey to optimum health and fitness. Not only do I do a hybrid of P90X®, Insanity® to improve my training for IronMan and the other triathlons and marathons I will be doing this year, but I also include Shakeology® in my diet as a meal replacement or supplement depending on my calorie burn.

On the nights I run my fitness groups (join North Valley Fit Club) I generally don’t want to come home and have a big meal. Nonetheless, my body needs some calories and protein to repair muscle - and having some protein before bed can improve the quality of your sleep as well. So on Monday nights and Tuesday nights - Shakeology® is my dinner. During the rest of the week, it is my breakfast.

This week, however, I am determined to lose those last stubborn 10 pounds that have lingered in spite of my hard work. I must be honest I had a few splurges during the past couple of weeks so I am in a calorie burn to intake ratio deficit. Now I’m getting ready to go on the 2010 Success Club cruise with Insanity® trainer Shaun T…and you KNOW I don’t want to be the one coach on board with a belly.

My mom, who is also a Team Beachbody® coach, recommended doing a Shakeology® cleanse. She has an absolutely flat belly – which at 61 years of age is no small feat. She told me she lost those last few pounds by using Shakeology® as her breakfast and lunch and having a very sensible dinner with a 2oz portion of lean meat and some veggies. Now I call that clean eating.

If you want to work with someone who is EXTREMELY disciplined…my mom, Wil Ennis is THE go to coach for that. Although, technically ~I~ am her coach, sometimes I think it is the other way around…because she has this DOWN. You can reach her at The Fitness Tree.

As I was inspired by her success, I decided now was the time to put this to use. I have eliminated any other calories for the day except a morning cup of coffee or tea. At night I will have a well portioned dinner – meaning a small serving of protein and a salad or steamed veggies. My other liquid will be water only. So far, I have gone through day 1 and I already feel lighter, thinner, my stomach feels great – my digestion is perfect – no bloating. I am loving this!

Think about how food is so much less nutritious than it used to be. Our soils are depleted because we must farm on such a larger scale to feed so many people. How do you replace these vital nutrients that we used to get from eating fresh locally grown foods in season?

Shakeology® is the healthiest meal of the day. It was in development for over two years. It is a complex formula that has over 80 ingredients. We have uniquely sourced Peruvian herbs such as:
• Sacha Inchi – known as Purvian Peanut, first used in 5BC in herbal medicine, it is high in protein, omega 3 fatty acids, and has high biological availability (can be harvested every 15 days).
• Maca Root – this provides endurance, stamina and is a known aphrodisiac. It is an endocrine adaptogenic herb, helps to reduce anxiety and stress and may help to balance hormones.
• Yacon Root – is a known natural anti-depressant, mineral packed

And that is just THREE of the 80 ingredients in this amazing food! Where can you get a $4 breakfast anywhere that is as good? If you want the best for your body, then I highly recommend Shakeology®.
I will post my results with the cleanse at the end of the week!

If you want to try Shakeology®, you can order directly from my website at Shakeempress.com or send me an email at coach@getfitphoenix.com.

I want to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. Shakeology® is a vital tool that can jumpstart your journey!

That’s all for today!

Happy Anniversary to Me!

People ask me how long I’ve been in fitness and what about it makes me so passionate. The truth is, I wasn’t always passionate about fitness – in fact the very idea of exercise seemed so ludicrous to me, that I rarely attempted it except for the occasional bouts of walking around my neighborhood. I think the reason I’m so passionate about it NOW, is that I was completely ignorant about what exercise could do for me, physically, mentally, emotionally.

I had tried various forms of dieting to get to the weight I envisioned my perfect self at – a cool 135 – the perfect weight when you use that old stand by formula of at 5 feet you should weigh 100 pounds and then for every inch above 5 feet, you multiply that by 5 pounds… I am 5’7” so that means 100+ (7x5) = 135. This is the magic number I lived with for most of my life. It didn’t matter that I couldn’t run around the block, just that I weighed in at that number.

A year ago I sat on a Sunday morning feeling sorry for myself and wishing my metabolism hadn’t decided its work was done when as I passed over the channels , an infomercial caught my eye. This very muscular man and his associates were talking about “muscle confusion” and all kinds of things it could do for my body. My first thought was, “Yeah, my muscles are already confused…and I don’t look like that!!!” But as I found my interest being drawn in, I started to see the transformation pictures of people who started out just like me – or even heavier – some MUCH heavier and thought – “if THEY can do this, why can’t I?”

I found myself dialing the number on the infomercial and ordering this “P90X” product. I had heard of P90X a lot over the previous years and just figured if it was still on TV there must be something to it. I hung up the phone and had a strange sense of excitement for what I had just ordered. Excitement to start a grueling exercise program? Who am I? What just happened? Did I just drink the Kool-Aid?

Who’s going to be the funny Fat Girl in our group if I get in shape? Did I really just think that? What is wrong with me? The endless chatter in my head just droned on for a while. Then I shrugged and got back to cooking and laundry and other chores that accompany every Sunday. About a day later, I got this mysterious friend request on Facebook from “My Coach”. My coach? For what?

Coach Dan was assigned to me from Beachbody – a surprise perk for purchasing a program from Beachbody! I was able to talk with him about what to expect and how the program works.

Once I received the program, I immediately started blogging about it and Coach Dan knew I was pretty serious about it. And just for the record, YogaX is still not my favorite – but I will continue to do it because it DOES do wonders for my flexibility and balance….not to mention my core strength!

Fast forward a year, and yesterday, I completed my first duathlon. This was a challenging run/bike/run race in the mountain preserve east of Phoenix. I had no idea that when I ordered my P90X that my life would be so different just a year later. I am officially in training for my first IronMan and I am also a Diamond Beachbody coach. I ~love~ my business. To be able to help others change their lives the way I’ve changed my life is an amazing privilege.

So the bottom line is I am so passionate because – I see first hand the complete transformation that my life has taken. How incredible it is to help others do the same. If you are a fitness enthusiast and you have always been so – then this is a great program for you too – but if you’ve been like me and spending WAY too much time on the couch or in front of a computer, then I REALLY want to talk to you. Are you ready to feel great about yourself? Are you ready to experience life in a whole new way? Let me show you how.

Happy Anniversary to me!

Until next time!
