Black Friday Specials

Team Beachbody has some AWESOME specials going on right now (while supplies last) at my website, www.teambeachbody.com/fitforlifeliz.

We got word that they were opening up our Black Friday specials yesterday early afternoon.

Some of the programs are already sold out.  But there are still many available.  These will be available, while supplies last, until Dec 1.

I just purchased Les Mills Pump.  I can't wait to start it, after my half marathon training is complete, and after I am cleared to exercise again.  I am currently on a break because I am having my gallbladder removed out on Tuesday of next week.  Anyway, once I am cleared to exercise again, I will be back to running and doing PiYo.

I also have a 12 Day Shakeology Challenge starting on Dec 1.  Don't wait until after the New Year to start on your fitness goals.  Start now! 

Remember:

This year, well really 2014-2015, I will not be scrambling to get "bikini" ready in March!  I am starting now.  Want to join me?  I have several accountability groups starting soon.  Come get support, motivation, meal plans, recipe ideas and tons of help!  Email me at fitforlifeliz (at) gmail (dot) com

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Don't eat too much!  

November's specials & the rest of 2014

Wow, it is already November.  Can you believe it?  I can't. It blows my mind how fast 2014 has gone already.  

What is the one thing you dread about going into this holiday season?  For me, it's all the yummy foods.  Yes, I watch my portions, but it still doesn't matter because of all the food.  Yes, I still continue to workout during the holidays, but it doesn't seem to matter.  

My mother-in-law always arrives at my parents' house with, no joke, 20 lbs of cookies, cakes, and candy!  She loves to bake.  And she is excellent at it.  But that doesn't make it excellent for my waist line, because I am excellent at trying all of her cookies, cakes & candies.  And then on top of that, my mom makes cookies & coffee cakes & delicious meals.  I usually end up gaining 5-10 lbs around Christmas!  Yikes!

I am bound and determined this year to not allow that to happen.  I'm not saying I won't indulge a bit, but I am going to watch & track what I eat & drink much better!  

For the month of Novmber, our newest set is on special.  I call this our newest set, because this is the first time since both programs have been released that the company is combining them.  

PiYo, the 3 Day Refresh & a month's supply of Shakeology are on special right now.

The Ultimate Reset is also on special, but I haven't tried the program, so I cannot give you mush information about it.  I have done both PiYo & the 3 Day Refresh.  I am about to start mixing PiYo back into my running schedule.  I have found that I really need the stretching.

 

Meal prep & I don't mix

So meal prep...  Yeah, it didn't go at all.  I am the type of person who spends more money when I meal prep.  I know, it makes no sense.  People always say they save money when they meal prep.  Not me, because I want to make these delicious, but not typical meals for me or my family.  Makes life interesting.

I did find that I do better buying chicken, lean meats, fruits, veggies, and whole grains.  And then deciding daily what to make.  I stick to a better diet that way, as well.

Let's chat about this...  Part of the 21 Day Fix, well a huge part of it, is meal prep & meals.  But honestly, I do much better looking at my pantry or the list of foods, and picking out my containers that way.  

I do need to refigure my bracket, because I think I might have moved a bracket.  I also find it very difficult to eat all my containers.  I never thought I'd say that about a "diet". But it really is a lot of food!

And even when I don't have my containers handy, I am still able to eyeball the amounts which is amaizng.  I belong to several Facebook groups dedicated to people doing the 21 Day Fix.  And several of the people in the group's have gotten to the place where they could eyeball their portions.  I was in awe of them.  But amazingly enough, it has happened to me as well.  

Have I been amazing at it lately?  Nope.  And I noticed as I increased my running, I also was craving more carbs.  So I do add a few of those in, even though they aren't in my bracket.  

I also drink a little more wine than I am supposed to, but I'm sure I'll cut back again soon. 

So, do you meal prep?
