new Shakeology recipe, new Challenge Group!

Happy Monday! I hope all of you are having a fabulous start to your week!! It's fall...and we all know what that means...PUMPKIN! Everywhere! Instead of jumping on the Starbucks pumpkin latte craze and costing myself hundreds of calories and too many dollars, I decided to create a healthier pumpkin treat :) PUMPKIN SPICE CHAI 1 cup of cold chai splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk 3 tbs of pumpkin squirt of vanilla extract a dash of pumpkin spice 6 ice cubes **blend and ENJOY!**

I ALSO have a new Challenge Group starting November 3! I'm so excited about this! I LOVE helping my Challengers, and the support that I get from them is equally awesome. There are so many times I would have SKIPPED a workout if it weren't for them holding me accountable!

Have a beautiful night!!

Apple Pie Shakeology & New Coach Training!!

Happy Friday!! Fridays don't really mean much when you're a mom and your husband is out of town, but there's still something nice about the weekend, isn't there? ;) We were out on a field trip all morning so I didn't eat a good lunch. When I got home I was excited to try out a new Shakeology recipe! I normally drink Vegan Chocolate ShakeO but decided to mix it up today! I was in the mood for some apple pie! ;) 1 scoop vanilla ShakeO 1 cup preferred liquid (I used half almond milk half water) 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce 1/2 tsp cinnamon 6-8 ice cubes Voila!! Blend and enjoy!

If you try it let me know what you think!! There's just something about fall that makes me think of apples and cinnamon! Remember to stay consistent with your healthy eating and workouts through the weekend! I know it's so tempting to take time off, but it's really important to stick with your routine. I know personally if I go more than one or two days without exercise I start to really get into a funk! Here is a quick ab routine for you to try! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxjKZcOT17E I should also tell you that I'm starting a new coach training group on Monday!

I'm so excited!!! I am looking for THREE coaches to join my TEAM! These three people must be willing to work hard and have a desire to help others. Also a must: the ability to DREAM BIG!! I have a new coach training group starting on Monday! If you're interested, shoot me an email by TOMORROW!! navywife_anna@yahoo.com Get out there and get moving, and have a GREAT weekend!!

Shakeology: My Flu Shot Alternative and Immune System Booster!

Why do you think people get flu shots in the Fall? To hopefully PREVENT getting the flu, of course. When it comes to germs, one of the BEST things you can do to protect yourself is STRENGTHEN your IMMUNE SYSTEM. It’s like wearing natural armor in an environment of sickness. Here’s one of the reasons that I’ve NOT been sick AT ALL these past few winters and have NOT gotten a flu shot (and I have TWO children all in different classes, so I get a LOT of germ exposure!). There have been so many times where our friends or family weren't feeling well, but my kids and I escaped unscathed. WHY?! Because we do our best to fuel our bodies with foods that naturally build up our immune systems! Shakeology is packed FULL of immunity boosters, Camu Camu being one of them! (picture borrowed from Seay Stanford)

Camu Camu has 30-50 times the amount of Vitamin C compared to oranges. That’s just ONE of many adaptogens and phytonutrients in my Shakeo that helps build my immune system. Consider this…how much do you think you spent last year on cold medicine, doctor visits and missed days of work?! YOU BET Im fueling my family with goodness so we can increase our chances of staying HEALTHY for the flu season. Germs, be gone! Feel free to SHARE this health tip with your friends! And ask me about Shakeology! Your immune system will be glad you did!! ;)
