Transformation Tuesday- Heath

Heath Greenlee, age 50, lost 38 lbs. with 21 Day Fix and Shakeology. 

"I was overweight, out of shape, and hated seeing myself in the mirror. If I was to get on a cruise ship, I’m afraid the crew would mistake me for a whale and start throwing harpoons at me. I did not feel great at all about my body, and had been trying different ways to lose weight (gym membership, Hydroxycut pills, starvation, etc.). Nothing seemed to work, and I was getting frustrated. Diets came and diets left, and eventually the weight would come right back. After returning home from Iraq in 2011, my marriage ended, and things got worse when I got injured at work and had to have knee surgery. While off work, I packed on even more weight sitting around and at one point, I reached 235 pounds. My activity level was very low, and I would get tired very easily. I would end up taking naps during my lunch break at work. I was shoving chips, soda, and fatty crap into my system, because I was depressed about not losing weight and seeing any results."

"The biggest challenge for me was committing the time to do the workouts at home from a DVD, and not in a gym setting. I had knee surgery a few years back, so I was concerned that there might be issues with some of the workouts. Not only was I able to punch through those issues, my wife Sandra did the workouts with me, as well as drink Shakeology. Beachbody helped me to get a great start in not only dropping the weight, but building muscles that I forgot existed, as well muscles I didn’t even know were there. My first week was rough, because I was sore in areas of my butt that I had never felt before. Through persistence, I stayed with it, and was ecstatic when I hit my goal weight of 200 pounds, a 20-pound loss of weight in three weeks. I terminated my gym membership immediately, and have completed five rounds of 21 Day Fix."

Transformation Tuesday- Melissa

Melissa Chevalier lost 51 lbs. with 21 Day Fix and PiYo. She entered her results into the Beachbody Challenge, and won the $500 Daily Prize for February 15th!

Her story....

"I felt absolutely horrible about myself, especially my weight. My blood pressure was terribly high, and they had to use the large cuff! My fasting blood sugar was elevated, and my cholesterol was in the range that either needed a lifestyle change or medication. I was truly terrified that I was too far gone. Thank you, Beachbody, for allowing me to see amazing results month after month using low-impact modifications!"

"I love Shakeology! Eating clean is a lot of work in the kitchen — cleaning, cutting, cooking, and measuring. Shakeology made one meal a day easy, and I think it is delicious. I have never used protein shakes/bars, because of the taste, but Shakeology is different. I’m so glad you sent the chocolate sample in my 21 Day Fix box; it hooked me! Also, I have noticed that my all-day-long coffee-drinking is now just one or two cups in the morning. I’m not sure if that’s because of Shakeology or exercise, but whatever it is, I love it."

"21 Day Fix has allowed me to see my abilities increase each month. After six months, it is still giving me amazing results with each cycle. 51 pounds so far! I feel so much leaner, stronger, and younger! Every month I’m more excited than the last to getting started again. I now see that becoming thin and fit is a real possibility if I continue using these Beachbody programs that work! I had actually given up hope and never set my goals very high, because I never thought the finish line was achievable. I now know I can get all the way down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 18 years ago! No more excuses! Only 30 more pounds to go!"

What's so great about Shakeology?

Ever heard of Shakeology?

Why do people love it so much?

What is in it?

Why is it so great?

America has a nutritional health crisis. Simply put, we are addicted to bad food. We are being overfed yet at the same time being undernourished. Not being nourished with the foods our bodies need can lead to terrible results. Overweight, joint pain, not sleeping well, depressed, digestive problems, lack of energy, moody, and stressed to just name a few. Our society has truly become addicted to caffeine, sugar and fast food.

Shakeology is so much more than a protein shake or meal replacement. It gives you your daily dose of dense superfood nutrition. It has over 70 of the world's healthiest ingredients that can provide you with vitamins, protein, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes. It's healthier than eating a salad and tastes like dessert. Every single ingredient goes through rigorous certification and testing to ensure potent nutrient concentration. There are no artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives. Unlike other weight loss or protein drinks, it is made from REAL food and has NO chemicals in it! Uh.... What? Yes it is true. All real food- no chemicals! By drinking Shaekology you fuel your body with the nutrients it needs and in turn gives you energy, improves your digestion, reduces cravings, and helps you be healthier all around. 

I have seen a huge difference in my health and energy levels since I started drinking Shakeology. If you interested in getting healthy and want to join me or try Shakeology for yourself comment bellow or email me at amydalley21@gmail.com

Party food that's not Junk!

Happy Valentine's Week!!! 

I decided to host a Princess Valentine's Tea Party for my daughter and all her neighborhood friends. It was so much fun for both me and my daughter! I LOVE Valentine's so I think we will make it a yearly tradition to have some sort of Galentines party. 

Most Valentine's parties are full of sugar! I didn't want to go there. I was still able to make it fun and festive by having cute serving dishes (found at the dollar store), picking foods that were red and cutting what foods I could into hearts.  Here is what we had...

Veggies with Hidden Valley Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip (red peppers were cut into hearts)

Bananas and strawberries drizzled with a little Nutella

Strawberry Jello cut into hearts

Cheese cut into hearts

I served pink juice that was mixed with half water and the kids didn't even notice!

But of course we had to decorate heart shaped sugar cookies! It wouldn't be a Valentine's party without a LITTLE sugar right??? They were gluten free... so that means they are healthy. Just kidding. I wish!

 It was so much fun and I am excited to do it again next year. 

Transformation Tuesday

Meet Catherine! 

Catherine had been diagnosed with a thyroid disease, which affected her energy, what she was able to eat, and left her with extra weight she wanted to get rid of. She chose 21 Day Fix for its mix of workouts and portion control, and had amazing results! She lost 45 pounds and 16 inches in just over 6 months! Here’s her story in her own words:

After a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, I was overweight, deeply tired, discouraged and depressed. Exercise was helping my fitness level, but I still was not losing weight. I chose 21 Day Fix, because I felt portion control was key. I lost 13 pounds in the first month! It was a miracle. I had tried everything and this weight loss was a great motivator for me. 

Before 21 Day Fix, I was definitely eating a disproportionate amount of carbs. The containers make the 21 Day Fix diet fool proof. I don’t even need to think. I know proportions are correct. It works and is a complete life-long healthy way to eat. Having thyroid disease limits what I can eat. The 21 Day Fix meal plan is flexible, so choosing foods that work for me is easy. 

The workouts are well-rounded and work every part of my body. I like the variety and ability to increase the intensity. Autumn is a genius. She is very motivating and obviously knows her physiology. I got to meet her once – she is delightful and caring. 

I feel fantastic and have great energy for my very busy life. I am proud that someone my age with a thyroid disorder can lose 45 pounds and get truly fit.

Transformation Tuesday

Christopher Chaffee lost 48.5 lbs in 90 Days with P90X. 

Before I started the P90X3 program I was kind of a lost soul. I was just living day to day without any regard about my health. My self esteem was in the dumps and I was always tired from work. My physical activity had pretty much amounted to going up and down the stairs in my house.

I reached a point where I said enough is enough. I remembered the toned athletic person I was when I was younger and yearned to be that person again. A friend of mine suggested that I start P90X3 and gave me encouragement along the way.

I think the hardest two challenges that I encountered during my journey was nutrition and motivation. Once I changed my eating habits and stuck with it I started to take notice of the foods that I ate and their nutritional value. In the end I won. Motivation was tough because the program is tough. Its not like the first workout is wimpy. It pushes you from the start. Ever day that I completed a workout I felt better and better. In the end I was eager to get out there and do another.

The 30 minute workouts were perfect. I am up early and work late. The 30 minutes workouts just fit my lifestyle. Shakeology is fantastic. I have it for breakfast every morning. I have noticed a change in my skin and hair since using it.

I have more confidence and self esteem. I am noticed and get compliments a lot more. My eating habits are probably the biggest change since I started. I pay attention more to what and how much I eat. I lost 53.5 lbs in 90 days. I shrank 10 inches in my waist and dropped four pant sizes. My energy levels are through the roof.
