Being in a challenge group

This week marks the end of my first week with Turbofire. I have found my soul mate workout and it has been for some time now I just put it to the side to pursue other things. Anyhow, I am back to my workout and I LOVE that I am having fun while working out again. This time though I am in a challenge group.

I know right how crazy is it that a Beachbody Coach is in a challenge group? Well to be honest I am human and although I am an example and role model to some people I'm still me just a person like you. I go through struggles and there are times where I need support and motivation too. In order to be successful sometimes you have to admit defeat. This summer was that for me, I did not live with integrity and I followed the crowd which is turn made me neglect my body and my faith. I just walked away from it all and my body internally suffered from it. I even put on about 6 pounds, which to some is like whatever but to someone that is tiny like me it is a lot and it is noticeable. The number isn't the issue it's more the effect of all the negative things that I did to myself.

I stopped working out, I stopped eating as healthy and I reverted back to the ways that got me to the weight that I was after I had children. I was slowly climbing the ladder to being the "lazy" unhappy me that I once despised. SO I recently joined a challenge group.

It has probably been one of the best things that I have done for myself. I have eaten healthier this week than I have in months, in just one week I have more energy and my little fitness fire is back on which helped light the other fires in me that were dimming out. I was losing balance of who I was because I was paying attention to something that was getting me off track if you can understand what I mean.

I completed all of my workouts for the week and I am looking forward to week two. It is nice to be on the other side of the fence and see what it is like for some of you go through and how accountable the challenge makes you.

I am going to make a commitment here and now and say that I WILL participate IN EVERY challenge group that I sponsor from now on so that we can go through our things together and I will hopefully never fall off the wagon and sabotage and live a life without my integrity again.

My meal plan and workouts for the week

Starting today I thought that I would start posting a weekly meal plan and my workout plan for the week to 1 let you all know what it is that I do in my life and 2 to be accountable to myself.

I usually meal plan because it helps me save money when I grocery shop as I always buy garbage that I don't need or think that I want to eat and then never do...speaking of which I kind of need to clean out my pantry. That darn thing is so small I can never truly see what's in it but I digress. It saves me money, I buy only the things that I need and I have a HEALTHY plan of what I am going to eat rather than eating pancakes for dinner like I shamelessly did last week! Yes! 2 times to be exact.

So here is my meal plan for the next week :) Of course thanksgiving is in there and we will have not healthy foods on Thanksgiving but I have already added that in as my cheat meal.

Workouts :

Monday      Tuesday        Wednesday      Thursday      Friday        Saturday        Sunday

Fire 45         Fire 30               Rest        Fire 30         Fire 55 EZ      Fire 45         Core 20
                    Sculpt 30                           Tone 30                                                   Stretch 40

Meal plan will be :)

So there it is. I am on week 2 of Turbofire and I am really enjoying it. I obviously don't see any changes but I am having fun with it and I am feeling the burn of doing the workouts.

I am running a challenge group for 5 days on the day after Thanksgiving, if you are interested please email me at jeannettealverio(at)yahoo(dot)com.

5 Day Inferno Bombshell Challenge

Ok so I am picturing it now. It is the day after Thanksgiving and you wake up feeling groggy and bloated and you say to yourself. Oh man I need to get up and workout because I am sure I gained a whole other person after all the festivities yesterday. Look, I am a coach and health and fitness is what I breath but I am human and I do over indulge and lately it has been more often than not so I can totally understand.

So you want to get all healthy and get ready because we all know that Christmas is like uh hello TOMORROW. I have to fit into that cute Christmas party dress or HOLY COW we have pictures to take this weekend and I feel not so great about myself.

This is where I come in! I am going to host My First Annual 5 Day Inferno Challenge to help you get rid of that bloat!!! So what is it exactly?

It comes from the Turbofire workout and it is a 5 day meal plan and exercise plan that will help you shed some of your weight and cleanse yourself before getting ready to get on with your workout program. It can also be used to fit into that little black dress :) or to be "red carpet ready"

I am not promising you a weight loss of 10 or even 20 pounds but what I am promising is that you will feel leaner you will be less bloated and you can lose up to 5 pounds if you do everything as described.

It's a 5 day plan, you will be provided a grocery list, meal plan and workout schedule you will workout 30-50 minutes doing whatever you please just make sure that you are moving your body for those 5 days pretty intensely. So what do you have to lose except for a few pounds?? If you are interested please email me at jeannettealverio(at)yahoo.com

What is the #1 reason people fail?

People don't see weight loss results for many reason but it all boils down to just a few things really when they are all lumped together.

The number one reason that people don't see weight loss results is EXCUSES. Excuses come in all forms but they are still just what they are excuses.

There are internal excuses - those kinds of excuses are the ones that you tell yourself such as
"You aren't going to see results."
"Why are you even doing this anyway nothing is going to change."
"Girl, you have been this big for so long you aren't going to quit AGAIN so you might as well save yourself the trouble"

These types of excuses are toxic and can hinder your progress and even stop it if you let your mind take control over your actions. You should always know why you are doing the things that you are doing. Weight loss in my opinion should be a GOAL. When you set out to make goals you HAVE to know why you are wanting to attain or achieve that goal. If you do things blindly without focus you are going to lose the motivation and drive to complete the things that you want or you think that you wanted. Weight loss is a journey whether it is a 5 or 150 pound journey that you are taking. It is isn't easy but it will sure be worth it in the end.

Then there are external excuses which include:
I am too busy with work.
I don't have time for my family already as it is.
My family doesn't support what I am doing.
I don't have the money to eat healthy or the time to make all my meals.
I work so late there is no way I am going to fit in a workout.
I work the late shift how the heck am I going to cook and prepare all these healthy meals?

These types of excuses can be masked as REASONS why you aren't ready or willing to make the change that you think you want. At the end of the day if you can't reach your goals because of one of the excuses that you are making you have no one to blame but yourself. We are all responsible for our actions and choices that we make in this life. I am a firm believer that if you want the change in your life you should be ready and willing to give whatever change it is that you want 100% of your time and attention and not forget why it is that you are doing whatever it is to begin with.

Tips to get what you want:

Leave the excuses at the door. If weight loss is what you want than weight loss is what you will get if you leave the excuses alone.

Write down your goals for weight loss and what you are going to do to achieve those goals.

Write down solutions to the obstacles that you see in your way.

Write down WHY you are doing this.

Write down a plan to get to your goals and take it one step at a time one commitment at a time.

Consistency is the key to success

So I have been M. I. A. soul searching a bit, but I think that everyone deserves a break in life right? I was talking to an officer at work and he was asking me what my plans were for work now that I have changed my mind with some things with my career. I told him that I didn't really know.....I am at a point in my career where I kind of have to sit and wait for a little while before I can move ahead which is ok I guess there is a season to just sit and relax and enjoy the destination that you worked so hard to get to. 

This post is mostly about consistency, doing those small things daily that lead to a GRAND result! Sadly, this was not the case for me and I want to be transparent as to hopefully inspire you to have some consistency in your life too.

This year was tough for me.....I got out of debt and got back into debt, I traveled beyond my means because I couldn't say no to people, I stopped making goals because I was afraid to fail and not achieve them and was too embarrassed of what other people would think of me if I achieved them, I gained 6 pounds because I went haywire and was on a consistent vacation (a weight I maintained for 2 years). I wanted to start my own photography business and let that fall to the way side because I doubted myself and my ability. 

Lately I started thinking to myself where the heck did all this come from? I was once so driven and so goal oriented and I have seriously finished everything that I dreamed of doing for YEARS now. I have 2 degrees, I am making amazing money at work, I have a great respectful smart child, I have a wonderful family. I am truly finally happy but still so unfulfilled.......because I stopped making goals and I didn't dare to dream big. Then I started thinking about my goals and what the heck I was going to do to achieve them.

I totalluy digressed but I realized that I am not really fulfilled with what I thought that I wanted and I wasn't being consistent in ANYTHING in every aspect of my life.

 I wasn't consistent in starting my business, or my healthy lifestyle and in turn I do not have a business to call my own and I certainly did gain some weight, I feel like I failed myself and I got myself back into the debt that I got myself out of. I am seriously at square one again and this certainly is not the first time that I have done this to myself. 

It is seriously time for some change!!!! Changes will be made that's for sure I need to grow up and get outta my rut! 

You may want to live that healthy lifestyle but don't know where to start. 

1. Make changes weekly for example stop drinking soda, next week add 1 green veggies over time these things will compound into the person that you want to see reflecting in the mirror.
2. Do these things daily. Temptation is going to be in the way EVERY DAY and it is going to be there more so in the beginning when you are trying to start following the straight line.
3. Food is going to be your frienemy lol. You will want all the things you can't have because you can't have them but think about all of the things that you can have and remember WHY you are doing what you are doing.
4. Exercise daily. Walk, run, Zumba, dance. I may be a beachbody coach and I love their products but as long as you are moving and being healthy DO IT. You have to do what makes you happy so that you keep doing it and when that doesn't work anymore find something else that will keep you going! 
5. Be disciplined! Make a dream board, watch YouTube videos to keep that fire burning when it is just a little ember!

This is just the beginning but this should help you get started and the same goes with debt or anything in your life that you need to be consistent with. Just change the words around to make them fit for you :) 

Until next time!!!!!

 
 

Life lately

I have seriously been MIA from this blog which kind of leads me to this blog post.

I think that lately I have been dealing with some personal things and I have been traveling a lot lately so family time and all that has been a priority. In that time I have been able to sit down and gather my thoughts as I have always been an on the go kind of person. I am always thinking about what is next and how I can accomplish the next task.

I have kind of let this fitness forum go a bit because I feel like no one is listening or someone was waiting for me to give them the magic trick so to speak. I found out the problem is that I am not really consistent in a lot of the things that I do because I haven't set out goals for myself and what I want with my fitness business or what I want personally.

I have let a lot more than that change because I have gained weight and have fallen off of the fitness train myself and kind of let myself go. There are reasons for that but ones that I would rather not talk about now.

I have found that I have been successful when I am consistent in the things that I am doing but I want things to happen like yesterday. I am a very impatient person and I never follow through with a lot of things because I am not seeing the immediate results that I think I should be getting. I have not been committed to things because of fear and I have been selling myself short. So much so that I am now sitting here asking myself what the heck happened to me? What happened to my drive and why the hell am I so scared to do anything that is against the grain? Well I know exactly what happened!

I used to be motivated by people who doubted me or made me mad but now I don't have anyone like that anymore. I used to be motivated by anger and I don't carry that with me anymore so what really is my motivation? I. Don't. Know.

That's crazy right you want things but you don't know why or you are doing things and have no rhyme or reason why you are doing them. Isn't that the craziest thing ever? My goals for now are to figure out what I want to do, get back on a consistent "diet" and exercise program and follow a hybrid program.

So for fitness I am going to do T25 and Les Mills Pump
For nutrition I am going to go back to basics and leave the Paleo alone. It just didn't work for me, what did was eating 6 meals a day and keeping it clean. On Paleo I gained 5 pounds and I didn't like it at all. I felt out of control and out of whack. I still eat grain free meals at times but I am not nor will I ever be 100% Paleo. I loved it but then again I didn't......if that makes sense.

I need to do some soul searching and spending time with My God and figure out who I am and where I want to be in my life. Things are becoming clearer but I am putting ME on the back burner and I am losing myself again if you can understand that. I need to have a road map of where I want to go and what I want to do :) Until next time!!!!!
