Sizzling for Summer - Are you Ready?

 

Can you believe it...May 18th is already here. That means summer is about a month away. Pool parties, summer vacations, graduations, and bikinis. AHHHH! You mean we have to put the dreaded bikini  on soon. With that in mind, I know I am not the only one feeling this way. I have a few challenge groups upcoming which you have choices. Read them all and choose which one best fits your. No matter what, we will get those results. You will be confident and happy this summer. No hiding underneath your cover up.

 




On June 2nd I am kicking off another 21 Day Fix Test Group. This program has done nothing but deliver results for everyone who has used it. It is simple, the group will begin June 2nd and we will finish June 23rd, just in time for the kick off of summer. Three weeks + thirty minute workouts = results you want. This is all done is a closed online support group. We will set goals, go over the containers, meal plan & prep work, grocery shopping, learn all about portion control all while getting those results you are looking for. You will learn that food is fuel, but sometimes we can over eat on healthy foods. We will start to incorporate Shakeology once a day. Shakeology is an all natural meal replacement shake. Replace one meal a day and you can expect to have a meal which you can ensure that is healthy. You will start to notice your cravings are being controlled, increased energy, boost your immune system, & helps aid weight loss. It is a quick easy meal, so if you are busy on the go this is for you! It's only a 3 week commitment and a money back guarantee, but I promise this will be a game changer!!!

I'm interested in joining this group...what do I need to do next?!

*Go to MY SITE and sign up for a free account

 

*If you have any questions please email me : alyssayourish@gmail.com. And I can help answer any questions you may have or help give you step by step instructions on signing up.

 

*You can purchase your 21 Day Fix Challenge pack by clicking this link. All you need to do next is choose your flavor of Shakeology (My favorite is Vegan Chocolate, but the combo box of chocolate, vanilla, & strawberry) The bag gives you more than the packets, but if you are always on the go packets are the way to go. You will automatically receive free shipping saving yourself $15.

 

*Once you place your order, request to join the facebook group. Then I will contact you, setting goals & get you started!!!

 

Another option you have is my June 9th : Clean Eating Stripped Challenge Group.

What is this? This is for anyone who is struggling to lose those last 10-15 lbs. Looking to tone up. Hit a plateau. Or looking to really make something happen before your up coming weddings, summer vacations, or event.

What is the whole clean eating stripped? This is a 30 day challenge for anyone close to their goal already, but are just stuck. We focus on really stripping down the meal plan, break the plateau you have hit, look your best in 30 days, and trim the fat away. To ensure you are getting the best results, Shakeology is something that will help with this! Are you ready to see what this is all about?

 

A one month challenge starting on June 9th
Everything you need....




* You have to have a free membership with me as your coach. To do so please fill out this form RIGHT HERE! Next please connect with me on Facebook : Alyssa Yourish or send me an E-mail

 

*Once you do that we will discuss the best fitness program & flavor of Shakeology for you based on the goals you have set for yourself.

 

*The reason for Shakeology being a requirement. It is the 1 meal a day you do not have to worry about and it ensures that you are getting your daily dose of vitamins & nutrients when it comes to eating. It will give you the natural energy throughout your day, curve your cravings, boost your immune system, etc. If after the 30 days you decide you just do not want Shakeology anyone that is okay I will walk you through how to cancel, but I do just ask you give it one month to decide.

 

*You must log into the Facebook group at least once a day to be an active participant. I can provide you with all the tools you need to succeed, but I will tell you if the group goes quiet it usually means challengers have fallen off. This is your safe haven for one month, no one else knows about this group but YOU, ME, and THE OTHER CHALLENGERS. The more active you all are, the more fun, and the better success rate we will have.

 

*Request to join the challenge here.  And if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me.

 

Are you ready to see why you are struggling with loosing those last 10 lbs? Take your fitness and nutrition to the next level?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brownie Kabobs

Beloved Pinterest how I am ever so grateful for you. Ever have a place that you just always go to & maybe you just like to browse? Pinterest is that for me, it is truly like a gold mine!

I was never really a cooker/baker, but I have been going there just to get some new ideas when I stumbled upon these.....

Brownie Kabobs!

What you need:

-brownies

-melted chocolate chips

-sprinkles (if you want to make them pretty)

-toothpicks or cake pop sticks 

-wax paper

-cookie tray

Brownies: 

* 1 (16 oz) almond butter

* 4 egg whites

* 1 cup of honey

* 1 tablespoon vanilla

* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

* 1 teaspoon baking soda

* 1 cup grain sweetened chocolate chips

Directions: 

* Preheat oven to 325 degrees

* add each ingredient, in the order listed to a large mixing bowl, one at a time. Whisk each ingredient completely before adding the next. 

* pour into a baking pan & bake for 35-40 minutes. 

You will pretty much make these like cake pops. If your brownies turn out dry & crumbly , you can add a little frosting until "mushy" mixture til it's easy to form the balls. 

Now onto the fun part!!!!

1. Take small portions of your baked brownie & 'squish' them into small ball shapes.

2. Put 2 balls side-by-side and gently insert a toothpick through them. 

*may break: once toothpick is through just shape them again. 

3. Melt chocolate slowly. Once melted pour chocolate on brownie kabobs.

4. Place the kabobs on a cookie tray, lined with wax paper.

5. Throw sprinkles on them

6. Place in fridge to allow chocolate to harden. 

 

You can see mine are not on toothpicks/cake pop sticks because we were having too much trouble making them stick and hold. Next time I think I am going to try a different way to make my brownies.

Simple. Easy. Enjoy.

Goodbye Detox

Another phase down.

 There is ONE STINKIN'  week left. 

I'm not complaining here, but I so can not wait! 

I think I have been counting down the days since day two...boooo. But I know I needed this because I put my body through hell & high water weeks ago. 

Do I regret signing up myself & the bf? NO, but I'm sure Eric does. 

Every time I think of quitting, I stop to think why I started what was my reasoning. Then I think of my challengers & followers. What would they think if I quit and they get me going. And then I tell myself 7 more days, just 7 more days.

I feel much better than I did on day 11. I really was getting myself worked up because of how I felt when I did this one year ago. It's difficult when you remember those things because you expect to feel the same way. BUT it does point out that 1. everyone is different : so something I am experiencing you may not. 2. Every time you do the reset it could be different. It all depends on how you treat your body and i'm pretty sure this go around I did a bang up job eating crappy.

So, last night we went out to watch the Pens game...that was difficult. The temptations of pizza, drinks,  edible arrangements, outside spring/summer fun. I will say I did great 100% on track!!! I took my supplements before we left & packed my dinner to eat there, grabbed my gallon of water and we were on the road.

 

              

Another struggle today....prepping for Mother's Day. The cooking and the baking...the house smelling so good. I am a little jealous that I won't get to try my Molten Chocolate Cake (recipe to come later) & my Meatball Casserole (recipe posted soon).

              

                

 

But I am so excited because it is the LAST DAY of the detox mix!!! WHOOP WHOOP, jumping for joy over here!!!!

               

 

Ready for Phase 3: Restore

Is This Whole Beachbody Coaching Thing For Me?

 

PASSION.

DRIVE.

GOALS.

TRUST.

BELIEVER.

 

What do these words mean to you? To me, this is everything I believe. Every day I strive to be better. Live better. And to do better. Not only for myself, but for the people around me and the ones I have yet to meet. If you knew you could not fail no matter what, how BIG would you dream? Now, let me asking you..if you are dreaming that big right now but not doing anything about it....WHY NOT? Why is it that we always have these dreams, but nothing ever comes about because we just sit back, going about our lives like we are "supposed" to, not doing anything outside our comfort zone.

 

WHY? Because no one will second guess you or judge you when you are doing what is expected of you. You will be going through the motions just like everyone else. Waking up, getting ready for your 9-5 job (maybe disliking your job), sitting in rush hour traffic, exhausted, all just to do it all over again the next day. Why would you want to be fitting in with the crowd when you were born to stand out and SHINE!

 

 

 

I first started out as customer in my own Beachbody Challenge and the results I had, I was so impressed with what I was able to achieve in 90 days. Then, I decided to sign up as a discount coach because I fell in LOVE with Shakeology. Not only did it help with weight loss, but also my previous stomach issues/pains were seeming to settle down & be under control. After, seeing the benefits and what this opportunity has to offer there was no holding me back. I was crazy not to join.

 

I am earning extra income to pay for bills, gas, FUN money, vacations, whatever I want. If you have dreams and goals YOU CAN DO THIS!

 

Not sure if you have what it takes? This business is not meant for everyone, but what if you were given a chance for 5 days to be in a closed group where you watch short videos (around 10 minutes), on their stories and what it means to be a Beachbody Coach. How to earn money, where to find customers, what to do to reach full-time income potential, etc. At the end of the five days you should have everything you need to know if this is for you or not. This business is not meant for everyone, but you'll never know until you give it a shot...THIS IS YOUR SHOT!!!

 

 

If you are ready and you want to see what this is all about. Please add me on Facebook and send me a message. I will add you to the group.

Double Digits

Can you believe it?

We've hit the double digit mark on the Ultimate Reset.

           

We are on day 11 and just counting down the days. 

Few things:

- we started the Detox phase. No animal based food. And this delish drink...NOT.

                  

It literally looks like brown water, but I promise it's not. I don't mind the taste honestly, BUT it's grainy and no matter how hard you shake it, it still settles. So drink it fast. 

- I'm getting frustrated. And the reason for that, because I did this last year and I know how I felt. I had way more energy, but defiantly feel better then before starting. I feel bloated right now, I don't feel "lighter" like I did in week one. But I'm basing that off of it's that TOTM. I guess I thought I would feel the same, but I just same to trust the process. 

- I'm a simple girl. I tried to get all fancy the first week and eat a variety of foods. But honestly if I found something I LOVED I have been sticking with it. 

           

- Sleep = deep sleep. I used to wake up  to everything and not be able to fall back asleep for a half an hour. Now I fall asleep  as soon as my head hits the pillow & if I wake up it's to move, but I go right back to sleep. 

- some days I feel FULL, others I need more. You don't go starving on the reset but, this time around there are days I feel hungry still. 

- sleepy time tea. Nothing special. It's just my comfort right before bed. It puts me in a calming state of mind. 

I can't say this experience a second time around has been awful...just not what I excepted. 

Have questions : JUST ASK!

Thanks for following my journey & thank you for all your support!! 

Fitness Motivation

Do you know as a beachbody coach for years I struggled with finding my motivation to stick to a diet, weight loss plan, pills, gym membership, & DVDs (which are now collecting dust.) we all struggle and it's something very hard to overcome.

Yes I needed to lose weight.

Yes I needed to get in shape. 

Yes I wanted to eat healthy.

Yes I wanted my stomach pains to stop.

but HOW......

 

If you don't find your "why" behind it all. If you "why" isn't strong enough to make you get teary-eyed or excite you forget it. Start there, really sit down and think about why you want to (insert your goals here). Your why is what is going to push you each and every single day. Make you realize that you can do this, and you are good enough.


So how do you find the motivation?

Do you see this picture, can you even believe that is me? Because honestly, I don't believe it and I hate looking at it still to this day. But I do because it is my daily reminder of how far I have come, how I felt, and it makes me work harder so I don't fall back in that same trap. But before Beachbody... I was a lost cause. I was so unhappy with myself & I was beginning to isolate from everything around me. If I had to get dressed up or get out of sweat pants, I tried to find an excuse for me not to leave the house.. SAD right? It was one weekend when myself & some college friends went up to visit UPJ, because our sorority was celebrating 25 years. We were all sitting around Friday Night waiting to go out talking about how summer was coming up, when someone asked a friend what she has been doing because she looked great. And what she said, she was in a Beachbody Challenge for ASA. It peeked my interest and I began asking her questions & if I could join, because I was at a point I tried everything and just could not stick to anything at all. I didn't even think twice to sign up and join. I'm one of those people if you tell me something, I will try it. I won't do research or anything. Of course I was weary about it , but I didn't let that show. I had to do something, try this for the last time.

So why did I join?

Every program comes with a nutrition guide, it allows you to get ideas for your week if you choose to use them. You get a schedule to follow so no need to look confused when you start. It is laid out right in front of you, all you need to do is pop in the DVD. Can you say money saver!! Think about it, you have had a gym membership or personal trainer (how much are you spending each year). Personal trainer you would defiantly show up everyday, but the gym with no one to push you..you may not show up there could be days, weeks, months you just don't show up & that money is gone. With Beachbody you pay for your challenge pack right when you begin and that is it! It's a lifestyle change; not a fad diet. Beachbody is not all about weight loss, they promote healthy living, and want you to succeed.  The #1 reason why I joined was the support. There is an unbelievable support system through the whole community, from your coach, fellow challengers, the community on the site. It never ends, if you are struggling someone is there to pick you up.

What's this Beachbody Challenge?

My job as your coach is to work with you one on one, helping you to achieve your fitness goals. Every month I ran closed online accountability groups. You decide on a fitness program, I can help you narrow them down if you would like & tell you what I think based on your goals you are looking to achieve but at the end, it is your call. I will plug in daily to give you motivation, support, recipes, tips, and anything you would like to go over. You will take before & after's (yes I know something we all dread) but it is something you will want to do, because you want a comparison from beginning to the end. YOU MUST CHECK IN DAILY! This is something that tends to get pushed off and people think just because they read the post they are participating. It only takes 5 minutes makes to stop in and tell us how your day is going, what went well, what you are struggling with, etc. Did you get your workout in , what your Shakeology recipe was, your meals for the day. 

YOU JUST HAVE TO COMMIT AND YOU WILL GET THE RESULTS!!!

 

 

 

I have found that after joining the Beachbody Challenge, the support and accountability is what was missing for me to succeed on a daily basis. Every day I would wake up excited to workout, make a new shakeology recipe, and check in with my challenge group. WHY? Because I did not want to fail & I know my fellow challengers were pushing play everyday so why shouldn't I? You can have the workouts, you can eat healthy, but if you don't have the support to lift you up when you are struggling will you continue? I know I didn't...if I had a bad day I wouldn't workout. Or if  wasn't seeing results I would get down on myself and give up. This worked for me and why wouldn't I share it with everyone else if it could help?

 

What more could you ask for? You purchase a challenge pack of YOUR choice. You get the nutrition guide, schedule of workouts, and you get to KEEP the program FOREVER. Plus you get total access to me as YOUR COACH and all the accountability/support in the world.
