Hellooooo deliciousness and hellooooo lover! I mean really. Although this shake is packed with nutritious superfoods and awesome goodies like flax seeds and chlorella, when you drink this, the thought that crosses your mind isn’t “Oh so nutritious!” (although we should think that because it is!) No no, the thought that crosses your mind is “It tastes like dessert! I feel like I’m cheating!” lol. That’s what crosses my mind anyway! Want to try this too? Check out the recipe below (You can thank me later). ;)

Pumpkin Pie Shakeology
• 1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology
• 1/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Agave or raw honey
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 tbsp. raw pecans (I used a few extra for the topping)
• 1 tsp. Pumpkin Spice
• 1-2 cups ice (the more ice you use the thicker it gets)

Blend. Serve. Enjoy!

Stay tuned for more delicious recipes every week!

21 Day Fix vs. PiYo - What’s the difference?

21DF_vs_Piyo

Hi guys! I’ve recently had a lot of you ask me what the difference is between the 21 Day Fix program and the PiYo program. They are BOTH great and they BOTH give you amazing results. They both pretty much have the same nutritional meal plans however the 21 Day Fix brings portion controlled Tupperware for those of you who want to learn how to eat the right amounts of food (like I did when I first started). You can even eat carbs! They just have to be the right type of carb (like wild rice and whole wheat pasta and breads). The defining moment in your decision as to which fitness program to get will be the fitness aspect of it. So…. what’s the difference?! A lot. I’ll explain below.

21DayFix-whatYouGet_ibk3og

What is 21 Day Fix?
21 Day Fix is a nutrition and fitness program that makes losing weight so simple, anyone can do it. Easy-to-follow portion control and 30-minute workouts take the guesswork out of losing weight to help you see results fast—up to 15 pounds

Why is 21 Day Fix effective?
Because it’s so simple! You don’t have to count calories, points, or log your food into diet software. With 21 Day Fix, everything is laid out for you. All you have to do is use the specially designed portion-control containers and do one 30-minute workout per day. Commit to it for 21 days, and you’re going to love your results.

It’s the only fitness and nutrition program that combines portion-control containers and world-class workouts.

Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100 pounds, you can do it with this program.

Who is it good for?

People who want a lifestyle change and want to learn portion control but aren’t sure where to begin. People who have tried and failed at complicated diet programs.

What do you get with the program?
There are two options (the program is available in both English and Spanish):

Option 1: 7 color-coded portion-controlled containers, Shakeology shaker cup, 6 workouts plus 1 bonus workout on 2 DVDs (30 minutes), 21 Day Fix ‘Start Here’ quick start guide, 21 Day Fix Eating Plan, 3 Day quick fix (helps for losing weight fast before a big event), personal coach (me), and support group. --- 21 Day Fix Base Kit - $59.85

21 Day Fix Kit with Shakeology - $140 (on sale for the month of September)
Note: Shakeology alone is $130/month so it’s like getting everything in option one (plus the option of being a coach for free which is a $40 value) for only $10 during the month of September. Everything sold separately, including being a coach, would come out to be $230.
Extras: There is also an extra optional bundle you can get which is the ‘Ultimate Upgrade Package’ that brings two additional workouts, a large portion control container for meals on-the-go, one pink B-LINES Resistance Band plus handles, and a free insulated tote bag to carry your food to work, school, or anywhere you need to go. -- Ultimate Upgrade Package - $59.85

piyo what you get

What is PiYo?
PiYo is a low-impact, high-intensity body-transformation program. It uses the most effective Pilates- and yoga-inspired moves set to a fast pace to help you burn fat while you sculpt long, lean muscles.

You’ll carve every inch of your body without jumps, without weights, and without straining your joints. And rest assured, there’s no complex choreography to learn. Chalene Johnson takes you step-by-step through the moves where you’ll use your body weight to lose weight and get intensely defined! You get your strength, your cardio, and your flexibility training all in one program.

Why is PiYo effective?
PiYo delivers the muscle-sculpting, core-focused benefits of Pilates along with the flexibility and power of yoga. PiYo’s low-impact compound exercises engage multiple muscle groups at the same time—while keeping your body in constant motion. As you progress from one fluid movement to the next without rest, you’ll maintain an optimal heart rate to incinerate calories throughout the whole workout! The result? You get a low-impact, high-intensity, total-body workout, giving you a physique that’s long, lean, and powerfully defined.

Who is it good for:
Women and men who want to lose weight, people who want to build lean muscle without bulk Fitness beginners. Extreme fitness enthusiasts. People who like the benefits of Pilates and Yoga but feel these programs lack the cardio they need to burn calories and fat. People who want to get the results of an extreme program without the jumps, weights, or straining their joints. People who want a workout that doesn’t require a lot of equipment.

What do you get with the program:
Option 1 - 8 workouts plus 1 bonus workout on 3 DVDs (between 25 - 40 minutes long), quick start guide, 60 day workout calendar, get lean eating plan, tape measure, personal coach (me), and support group. --- PiYo Base kit - $59.85
Option 2 - Everything listed in option 1 PLUS a month supply of Shakeology and the option to be a coach for free (A $40 value. You get a 25% discount as a coach on future purchases. If you’d like the added coach option please contact me before purchasing) -- PiYo base Kit plus Shakeology - $160
Note: Shakeology alone is $130/month so it’s like getting everything in option one (plus the option of being a coach for free which is a $40 value.) for $30. Everything sold separately, including being a coach, would come out to be $230.
Extras: There is also an extra optional bundle you can get which is the ‘PiYo Strength DVD Package’ that brings two additional accelerated workouts, yoga mat, plus Beachbody Strength Slides with Booties -- PiYo Strength DVD Package - $59.85

Here’s a preview video of one of the workouts so you get an idea:
(Note: There is a modifier in the video doing the workouts in a ‘modified’ way for beginner’s.)

Teal line

So there you have it! Regarding fitness, the 21 Day Fix has general exercises and is good for those who love “normal” general exercises (like squats, lunges, push ups, etc). Note: The 21 Day Fix does have a day for both Yoga and Pilates, they’re just not as intense as the PiYo routines.
The PiYo program has exercises that combine both Pilates and Yoga moves. It does not requiring any jumping or weights.
They’re both incredibly effective, it just depends what your goals are.

Still confused and not sure which to go with? I can help!

Moxie_Fit_Chick_Challenge_Groups

What is a Challenge Group?
A Challenge group is an amazingly awesome way to get (and stay) motivated, stay accountable, have support, share ideas, and get nutritional and fitness tips. There are different challenge groups starting each month to help with everyone’s needs. I personally join forces with some incredibly dedicated Beachbody coaches to bring you the best information and accountability available. Staying fit and healthy is not easy, especially when you’re doing it alone. Now, you don’t have to!

Which group is the right one for me?

Benefits of a group:
You will a receive a ton of exclusive and personal help, nutritional tips, meal plans, recipes, motivation, accountability, new friends, positive feedback and support, and much more!

Current available groups:

Once you combine clean eating with Shakeology, you will reduce your cravings, lose weight, lower your cholesterol, lower your blood sugar as well as feel less bloated and have increased energy! It’s a win-win!
(Shakeology is now clinically proven to help you lose weight, lower your blood sugar, and lower your cholesterol)
Requirements: ME as your free personal Beachbody coach. Shakeology shakes (30 Day money back guarantee with no hassles) and commit to eating clean for 30 days. No fitness is required but it IS optional.

One of the most important aspects of my Challenge Groups (aside from getting fit and healthy) is learning to be MENTALLY fit and healthy. Learning to be positive, learning to be happy, and learning to commit to goals. The positive mental breakthroughs that happen during a challenge are life altering. I need you think to think about WHY you are ready for this. WHY are you ready and willing to commit to change? Once you know your WHY... your DRIVE... we can start on working on your new positive, fit, and healthy life together!

Try Shakeology for FREE!

shakeology4flavors

Hi there!! I’m so happy you are looking into trying Shakeology! It is truly the healthiest (and tastiest!) protein shake available. There are two ways to try it for free. The first being a free sample through me (there is a limited amount per month). The second way is detailed below. PLEASE READ the rest of this post before asking for a free sample! Thank you :)

So, why get a sample packet for free when you can get the ENTIRE BAG FOR FREE! Yup! You read that correctly! Did you know that Beachbody is backing up their Shakeology products with a BOTTOM OF THE BAG GUARANTEE? Shakeology works so amazingly well that you can actually have 30 ‘samples’ in a bag or 24 packets with different flavors (depending on which one you get) for the whole month! That means, you can try it every day, with different recipes in shakes and even with baked goods for a whole 30 days. If you don’t like it, you can cancel your order within those 30 days and get a FULL REFUND. If you’re honest with yourself, one sample pack that I’d give you won’t be enough to figure out if Shakeology is really for you. Yes, you’ll see it tastes great, but you won’t get the full benefits of Shakeology. If you get it for the whole month, you’ll realize you won’t have any more cravings, you’ll feel more energized, and it will help you lose weight! There are different flavors you can choose from – Vanilla, Chocolate, Greenberry, Strawberry, Chocolate Vegan, and Tropical Strawberry Vegan.

Here’s how to get it for free for 30 days:
Step 1: ORDEROrder which ever flavor you’d like! There are one-flavored bags and there are different flavored combo packets. Choose HD (Home Direct) to receive FREE SHIPPING, otherwise it would be around $12. Remember, if you don’t like it, you can cancel HD PLUS to get your full refund. There’s really no losing!

Step 2: DRINK IT EVERYDAY – You are drinking this for your health so take it seriously and commit to drinking it everyday! If you are looking to lose weight, as opposed to just drinking it for the nutrients and super-foods, then replace it with one meal or snack a day. If you’d like to learn to eat healthier and learn to eat clean, follow my blog or contact me and I’ll help you!

Step 3: DECIDE IF YOU’D LIKE TO KEEP IT – I’m sure you’ll FALL IN LOVE with Shakeology like we all have. However, if you want to cancel it, do so within the first month (at least three days before the 30 days are up) and you’ll receive your FULL REFUND. If you’d like to keep it, you don’t have to do a thing since it’s already on Home Direct. See? Easy peasy!

Check out this video to see how AWESOME Shakeology is! It’s clinically proven to lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar levels, and lose weight. This super short video will explain all of that in detail :)

 

>> Now it’s time to decide. <<

IF YOU’D LIKE TO ORDER YOUR SHAKEOLOGY FOR 30 DAYS CLICK HERE

IF YOU’D LIKE TO ORDER ONE SAMPLE PACKET FROM ME EMAIL ME AT MoxieFitChick@gmail.com 
(I’ll need your address and preferred Shakeology flavor).
Note: Before doing so, you have to create a FREE Team Beachbody account and have me as your free coach. If you already have a coach, please contact them for a free sample. This free sample is meant to introduce Shakeology to those who do not have a coach and to those who have not tried Shakeology before. If you already have a Team beachbody account but do not know who your coach is then contact me to have me as your new coach.

If you have any questions or just want to tell me how AMAZING Shakeology is please feel to email me any time!

Clean Eating 101: 2 Keys To Eating Clean

2 keys

Hello my lovely fellow healthy friends! This post is part of the Clean Eating 101 series. If you haven’t read my other posts, please click HERE to check them out. If you have any questions  or comments please post them below. Hope these posts are helping you #BuildYourBestSelves :)
Although there are a lot of tips and tricks to eating clean, I feel there are two main keys to succeeding:

1.) BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU ARE EATING
Oftentimes we go about our day and don’t realize everything we stuff in our mouths, I know I’ve definitely been guilty of that! That is obviously not good. This is a surefire way of consuming unhealthy foods and adding unwanted pounds. So, what exactly is ‘mindfulness’ and how do we apply it to eating?
According to The Center for Mindful Eating, here are the principles and definition of Mindfulness and Mindful Eating:

Principles of Mindfulness:

  • Mindfulness is deliberately paying attention, non-judgmentally, in the present moment.
  • Mindfulness encompasses both internal processes and external environments.
  • Mindfulness is being aware of your thoughts, emotions and physical sensations in the present moment.
  • With practice, mindfulness cultivates the possibility of freeing yourself of reactive, habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting.
  • Mindfulness promotes balance, choice, wisdom and acceptance of what is.

Mindful Eating is:

  • Allowing yourself to become aware of the positive and nurturing opportunities that are available through food selection and preparation by respecting your own inner wisdom. 
  • Using all your senses in choosing to eat food that is both satisfying to you and nourishing to your body.   
  • Acknowledging responses to food (likes, dislikes or neutral) without judgment.
  • Becoming aware of physical hunger and satiety cues to guide your decisions to begin and end eating.

Someone Who Eats Mindfully:

  • Acknowledges that there is no right or wrong way to eat but varying degrees of awareness surrounding the experience of food.
  • Accepts that their eating experiences are unique.
  • Is an individual who by choice, directs their attention to eating on a moment-by-moment basis.
  • Gains awareness of how they can make choices that support health and well being.
  • Becomes aware of the interconnection of earth, living beings, and cultural practices and the impact of their food choices on those systems.
2.) PLAN AHEAD
You know what they say “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”! Planning your meals in advance will not only help you eat properly and healthy but it will also help you cut down on your grocery bill (and who wouldn’t want that)?! If you take 30-60 minutes out of your day just once a week to write down all your meals in advance and write out your grocery list, you’ll be ensuring yourself of a week full of healthy meals and snacks!

Clean Eating 101: What is it and how do you do it?!


Clean_Eeating_101_Moxie_Fit_Chick

WHAT IS CLEAN EATING?
Eating clean is a lifestyle. A way of life. It is NOT a diet. Diets are temporary and the weight you lose is temporary too (Actually, you tend to gain the weight back and then some)! When you eat clean, you eat whole foods and eliminate processed and refined foods. Say bye-bye to those Cheetos and soda (Don’t freak out. You knew that was coming.)! The main goal of this lifestyle is to nourish your body, eliminate and avoid diseases and toxins, lose weight, and have an overall sense of well-being.

HOW DO YOU START?
You first begin by being mindful of what you’re eating. That may sound like something you already do but I want you to take a moment to stop and think about everything you’ve eaten today. Can you remember every little bit of it? Unless you’re reading this in the morning and the only thing you’ve eaten is breakfast then chances are the honest answer is NO. We’re all so incredibly busy and distracted in our daily lives that we tend to gravitate towards the fast and easy meals and snacks. Feeling hungry and pressed for time? Taco Bell is right around the corner! Bored at your desk at work? Well hey, Suzy from accounting brought some cookies in... let me eat a dozen! The good news is that eating clean can be easy too if we’re mindful. Heck, you’re even suppose to eat more throughout the day! Now, does that sound bad or like you’re going to starve? I didn’t think so!
   
The next thing you should do is follow the principles listed below:

Clean_eating_dos_and_donts_Moxie_Fit_Chick

  • EAT MORE – EAT SIX SMALL MEALS EACH DAY: When you eat smaller meals throughout the day, you’re helping your metabolism increase and stay running longer. You’re also reducing the chances of getting really hungry and grabbing the nearest cookie. When done properly, you’ll never feel like you’re starving or being deprived.
  • EAT BREAKFAST EVERYDAY, WITHIN AN HOUR OF RISING: This one is IMPORTANT! Take the time to eat a healthy breakfast in the morning. If possible, eat oatmeal. Oatmeal is nutritious, fills you up, and is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as having medical benefits. Oatmeal is full of fiber that helps control your blood sugar,helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, and it also helps with weight loss. If you start your day off on a full healthy tummy, you’re setting yourself up for healthy greatness the rest of the day.
  • EAT A COMBINATION OF LEAN PROTEIN AND COMPLEX CARBS AT EACH MEAL: This sounds much more complicated than it really is. Complex carbs can be found in whole grains, veggies, and fruits. Easy huh? Combine those with lean proteins such as sea bass, skinless/boneless chicken breasts, or lean turkey breast and you’ve got yourself a winning combination!
  • EAT SUFFICIENT (TWO OR THREE SERVINGS)HEALTHY FATS EVERY DAY: Yup! You can eat FAT! As long as it’s the healthy kind. Healthy fats need to be eaten each day because your body does not produce them. They are considered healthy because they help aid digestion, decrease inflammation and bloating, keep your cells in working order, and helps keep your skin hydrated. A few examples of healthy fats are almonds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, and cashews.
  • DRINK 2-3 LITERS OF WATER EACH DAY: We all know drinking water in incredibly important to do yet we always have an excuse not to do it, “I hate water... I prefer coke... Water is boring...’ I get it. I was like that too. Until I realized just how much body was screaming for it! I bet your body is screaming for more water too. Water helps with your digestive system, helps flush out toxins, maintains healthy skin and hair , and it helps keep your body cool (which sure helps me living in Miami)! So... DRINK MORE WATER! If you need to, look up some water infused recipes to add a little something extra to your water. JUST DO IT.
  • CARRY A COOLER PACKED WITH CLEAN FOODS: This is will help keep you on track and will help when you get hungry. Instead of grabbing your co-workers cookie, you can grab the grapes you have out away in your cooler. It’s a win/win.
  • DEPEND ON FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR FIBER, VITAMINS, NUTRIENTS, AND ENZYMES: Avoid simple sugar and refined foods. Instead, replace the cupcakes and the chips with fresh fruits and veggies.
  • ADHERE TO PROPER PORTION SIZES: Starchy Complex Carbs – You should have 2-4 servings per day. The proper portion for these are a cupped hand per serving / Lean Proteins – You should have 4-6 servings of protein per day. The proper portion size should fit in the palm of your hand / Carbs from Fruits and Veggies – You should have 4-6 servings per day. A proper portion of these are whatever can fit into two cupped hands.

WHAT SHOULD YOU AVOID?
  • Avoid all-over processed foods, particularly white flour and sugar.
  • Avoid chemically charged foods.
  • Avoid foods containing preservatives.
  • Avoid artificial sugars.
  • Avoid artificial foods (such as processed cheese slices).
  • Avoid saturated and trans fats.
  • Avoid sugar-loaded beverages, including colas and juices.
  • Avoid (or do your best to limit) alcohol intake.
  • Avoid all calorie-dense foods containing little or no nutritional value.
  • Avoid super sizing your meals

WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?
Getting healthy is 80% nutrition, 10% fitness, and 10 % genetics. If you eat clean, you’ll be nourishing your body. You’ll lose and/or maintain a healthy weight. You’ll have mental clarity. You’ll be building a stronger and healthier immune system so you’ll fight off diseases easier. You’ll have much more energy because you’re feeding your body everything it needs to function properly and you’ll also be eating at regular intervals so you’re body won’t crash. And you’ll sleep better!

Doesn’t all that just sound phenomenal?! No wonder so many people are eating clean!
