New Year Health Bet

The year is coming to a close and the time to dig in and make a real effort to change the state of your health and fitness are coming to light.  

If you're holiday season will be anything like mine there are MANY celebrations! Its so HARD to stay on track with parties and celebrations! Its just a BUSY time of year, and thats a good thing!

As the year winds down and the kids are back to school lets shift the focus back to YOU! 

Maybe its the RIGHT time NOW to spend some time and focus on your goals. But instead of thinking of this as a quick fix- lets see what we can do to create new healthy habits that will STICK this time!

Challenge Group

I have found that being part of an online Challenge Group kept me motivated- I loved the sense of community and the sense of accomplishment by checking in every day and staying accountable.  As well as sharing recipes and whats working-- as well as whats NOT! Sometimes other people in the group were struggling too! I loved that I was not alone- YET I didn't have to trek to a gym. I did my workouts in the comfort of my home, but was able to get one on one support from my Coach and support from my group!

I just don't have time for anything EXTRA I needed to get the information I needed to be successful with my program, learn more about my nutrition plan, get my workout in and move on.  Anyone that is a mom gets that, its total Mom Life 2.0.  Understand what you need and execute!

But its more than that for me because for the first time it WORKED! I was getting my workouts in, I was meal prepping and cooking (this girl did not cook a whole lot prior to this). I was feeling better and looking better.  WIN! WIN!

Health Bet

Now what if I said you could win Money for Working out? Now THAT's Motivation! A CASH pool between $2 to $3 Million Dollars is up for Grabs!

We had a Health Bet earlier this year and it paid out!! So that is why the beginning pot of cash has been DOUBLED right away to 2 Million with a potential up to 3 Million!

Logging your minimum amount of required workouts and Shakeology at least 5 Days a week.  YOU WIN COLD CASH!

This group begins preseason on January 2nd - you will get an entire week of prep to be sure you know what you need to do, how the app works and how to meal plan for your program!

So what are you waiting for! This is the Challenge for you!

12 Days of Christmas: Shakeology Challenge

Sometimes we all need a little “boost” or accountability to fire things back up, right?!? Especially in December when our calendars fill up fast with holiday parties, get togethers, family events and more. It is easy to push your health and your fitness to the back burner and get in the mindset of picking back up in the new year when life slows down. Let’s face it, life really doesn’t ever slow down.

You also might be really interested in trying Shakeology but the commitment or the cost might be holding you back. I totally get it because that was ME. I was nervous to spend the money on a product that I wasn’t sure would work and I didn’t want to be stuck with Shakeology and out the money!

Even though Beachbody gives you a money back guarantee I was hesitant to pull the trigger at first. I am sure you can relate! If that is you and you really want to see if Shakeology can help you with your nutrition, curb your cravings, give you natural energy and boost your immune system then why not give it 12 days plus you get an awesome group to support you and answer questions along the way. What do you think?? I came up with this really awesome way to spice it up and give you a short and sweet 12 day FUN opportunity to make some friends, get accountability in your health and fitness and win some cool prizes for participation. I am hosting a 12 Days of Christmas Shakeology Shake Off December 12th through the 23rd. It is super easy to participate but you have to act fast because there is only a limited number of spots available.

So what is the 12 Days of Christmas Shakeology Shake Off?

Well it is 12 days of Shakeology Recipes, daily accountability, tips to help keep you motivated to make healthier choices through the holidays, ingredient swaps to make your nutrition better, prizes and rewards for checking in and getting a sweat session on and truthfully it is a way to stay accountable without having to break the bank. It is the perfect length of time because it’s before Christmas and it hits those holiday parties and allows you to gain some strategies to handle the temptations and really balance out what you want to eat with what you think isn’t worth the calories. I am going to throw in some cleaned up cocktail recipes, appetizers and desserts as well.

If you are interested in participating here is the steps to join:

Core De Force Review and 30 Day Results

I was not sure what to think of this program at first! I had not done any mixed martial arts EVER and that seemed to be what I was in for.  Other then some Kempo in P90X that's about all the experience I had!

I have to admit I was worried I would become frustrated and not be able follow the moves.  I was so WRONG!! After 30 days I really did transform my body and I felt like every day was a challenge I could meet! I looked forward to the workouts and I knew there was a way to modify the moves so I could make it thru every workout.

I also am not THAT coordinated at all. I had a definite fear that the moves would frustrate me as other programs had in the past. This was different! You can go at your own pace and you can take your time.

WHAT IS CORE DE FORCE?

CORE DE FORCE is an explosive mixed martial arts-inspired total body workout designed by Beachbody Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews to blast fat and carve your waist in just 30 days - with NO equipment. I know I have many clients that travel for work and they still want to get a serious sweat in. That can be hard from a hotel room. But not with this program!

Test group members have commented that they were concerned about losing muscle, or that it would not challenge them. Afterwards they could not believe the transformation. Because its a body weight based workout you not only sweat but you maintain and build lean muscle. You can expect the same results! All while sweating to MMA Style Kick ASS workouts and using basic moves.

If you want to learn more about the details check out my post HERE.

Nutrition

This program comes with a complete nutrition plan based on a very successful portion control system.

With that said you will not receive the containers unless you want them or purchase the Deluxe Kit. The nutrition plan is really 80%of your results but this plan makes it easy to track what you need.

And I say "track what you need" because so many of us do not get enough protein or complex carbohydrates (veggies). So without weighing food it gives you a great visual of how you should eat at each meal. It does so with these great containers. Based on your baseline starting weight you calculate very simply how many containers you get per day of each color.


I share shopping tips and meal plans for the week so every Challenger is set up for success moving into the program. We usually keep it pretty simple to start so you don't get overwhelmed and choose from the approved foods lists, food you enjoy. That is KEY! If you don't enjoy it, you won't stick to it PERIOD.

WHAT YOU CAME FOR: RESULTS

Ron's Results My husband Ron has struggled to complete a program for quite some time. He also has some knee and hip issues. Notably he has had both his knees cleaned up by trimming torn meniscus.

He had some concerns with the idea of an MMA style program since he didn't want to reverse his recovery. He completely enjoyed this program start to finish! OK so "Completely" may be a stretch - the early morning workouts were a challenge for him.  It reminded him of P90X, the moves are basic and he felt like it was great on his knees and hips.  It doubled his flexibility.

Ron gained a solid inch on EACH thigh which was AMAZING!! He has had injury and building muscle with other programs that use weights!!

He had significant muscle GROWTH.  5.5 weight gain, 1.5" gain to his chest and 1" on each thigh and gained 1/4" on each biceps yet LOST 1/2 inch from his waist! Just AWESOME!

Ron felt he was able to gain muscle post his Country Heat Results HERE. He was happy to rip weight off but wanted to build back muscle and he did BOTH here!

Ron reported that hands down, the accountability in the Challenge Group is what kept him going for the 30 days as well as working out with me every morning at 5AM.

 The app would remind him if he didn't get his workout in and he really wanted to check the box every day! Seems so simple. But easy to do is also easy NOT to do too! There were days when posting in the group was the EXTRA motivation he needed!

You can not only see his transformation in the pictures but he also said he felt back on track and a great sense of accomplishment because he completed the program.

The 30 minutes seemed to fly by and he worked up a serious sweat. His FAVORITE meal? The Savory Turkey & Sweet Potato Hash! Eating clean while doing Core de Force doesn't mean eating tasteless boring meals.

It means fueling your body right and staying on track.  The hardest part can be getting all the food in, learning to pack it and not forgetting those snacks.

Ron has to be at work at 7am so this was critical to his success!

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING!

But you can learn it and do it, it makes it easier when you live with your Coach, but even if you don't, there are reasonable ways to make all the programs work for you!

I'm so surprised at my results. Because even though I experienced a weight GAIN that was MUSCLE gain!! My core strength was off the charts and I really did gain flexibility too.  You can see in the photos below that even though I GAINED, I lost inches too and tightened up all around!

Toss the SCALE ladies- it does NOT tell the whole story!

I gained 3.5 lbs-- BUT 3.47 lbs of that was MUSCLE gain!! 1/2 Inch on each biceps - which as been a hard part for me!! I lost 1/2 Inch on each thigh which was AMAZING!  I gained 1/4 Inch on my waist BUT my back?? Totally built muscle and serious core strength!

My clothes fit GREAT - so this is further proof that the scale doesn't tell the whole story at all!! You trade off body mass, losing fat, gaining muscle and never picked up a weight. I also am pretty confident I could stand my ground in a street fight! (LOL j/k) #NotReally

Im beyond excited to see what the next 30 days does- because this has definitely lit a fire in me again- its an awesome challenge! One that I met and exceeded my expectations!

I am so SOLD on this program I'm moving into the second round thru December with the Deluxe calendar! I want to keep going into the next 30 days!

All it takes is your commitment to 30 days and I'll commit to giving you all the tools you will need to start this amazing journey! You literally have nothing to lose but the weight!

What to Wear?! Why is it so Hard? Holiday Problem #485

We have all been there, and I've been there PLENTY of times.  In the dressing room totally devastated, looking at the clothes and trying to be strategic about what I'm going to wear to showcase my best assets and HIDE all the flaws. 

  
I will say over the years my cousin and I have had a good laugh in some dressing rooms trying to shoe horn ourselves into some fashions and not getting the zipper up.  As hilarious as those sessions were, it sure was nicer when it was 80% of the clothes looked nice and 20% were fun.  But truthfully it was rarely those odds!  I would leave the store and deep down I was feeling disappointed and really upset with myself.  WHY couldn't I get it and figure this out.  Why did  I have to dress to HIDE anything?   I would always find something, but I surely wasn't feeling as FABULOUS as I wanted to.  Many times I just avoided shopping all together because why torture myself like that?

Listen up ladies- these are the straight facts.  And I know it because I lived it and I don't want you to struggle and feel that sinking feeling like I did after my shopping trip. 

FACT #1: Most off the rack clothes won't fit right.  PERIOD This is a fashion truth.  You need to budget for clothes and budget for a good tailor most times to get them to fit your body as they should!  Short, curvy  narrow, wide, we aren't built like a mannequin.  Even with weigh loss, you are CUSTOM baby!!  So don't obsess about the size number.  Just like the scale that can leave you with a false sense of failure.  How does it fit?  How does it look?  Does it fit you well at your widest point?  The rest can be altered!  Before you remove those tags consult with a tailor, you wan to feel your best and if it fits right in the right places, it will show in your attitude!


FACT #2: The Holidays can be the most fun and STRESSFUL time of the year!  all that stress tends to make people indulge more (emotional eating).  From family, financial etc… it is SO hard to find balance this time of year.  It is a vicious cycle, your stressed, you make poor choices, you become more depressed and so on and so on!  The difference is having a plan of how to avoid the cycle so you can enjoy the season!


FACT #3: It's NOT hopeless!  You have time to turn things around and start something positive before New Years resolution time!  You CAN enjoy the Holidays and the parties and stay on track while avoiding a 5-10 lb weight gain!   You can do it in a simplified way with full support!  Let me show you how you can meet your goals.  No it's not going to be overnight but in 30 days, you will be so much closer to your goal and see results where you haven't in years.  I promise you that!  As little as 30 minutes of exercise per day can reduce stress, keep you on track and help you not only breeze through the season, but come out the other end BETTER then when you started!  What a GIFT to give yourself!

YOU are worth the effort.  And sooner than you think, you can walk into that dressing room with confidence and end up pleasantly surprised instead of feeling like a bad joke!

I certainly felt fabulous in this family picture below.  However, I was corseted into that dress and if it had a button and God forbid it popped off, someone might have lost an eye!  

Let me help you!  Message me on how you can join my Fit for the Holidays Group- starting November 28th! You can make it happen, and I'd love to help.

Post Halloween Detox

So did all those Treats get to you?? I know I have little resistance but over the years I have discovered that feeling better beats all the Fun Size candy!

So how do you recover after a night or..... ahem.... WEEK of indulging on Trick or Treat candy??

1. PUT THE CANDY DOWN!

Get that shizz outta yo house! Let the kids pick what they want but either donate or trash it baby! Listen its not doing them any favors either so do what you must to get rid of it.  Hey I know some parents that pay for their kids candy by the pound.  Whatever it takes! I know having it around doesn't help!

2. GUZZLE THE H2O

How do you rid your self of that sugar hangover? Pound the water!! You need to hydrate to fill yourself up and clear your head.  All that fuzzzy headedness comes from the sugar rush and crash.  If you continue your IV drip of sugar your just never gonna get back to normal.

Drink 1/2 your body weight in ouces of water per day minimum.  You'll start to feel more like yourself in no time!

3. SWEAT!

Get moving, walk, do a workout on DVD (hint, hint) you need to get the blood pumping too and get back to a routine or start one to burn off all those extra FUN SIZED calories!! 30 minutes of workouts per day to get that metabolism PUMPING! Are you plugged into any challenge groups for the month? Getting up and crushing my workout every day keeps me ON TRACK! If you need help email me! dfnettleton@gmail.com

4. EAT! 

Yep, eat.  6 small thoughtful meals per day! You need quality, dense whole food nutrition.  What the heck is that? Start with an apple! Yep, an apple! Something with nutrient value and how about some nuts.  Toss a salad in there if your gonna get crazy, but it should be colorful.  And not M&M colorful, fruits and veggie colorful.  Basically get back to eating regular small meals to level out that blood sugar and you wont CRAVE sugar as much!

5. Refresh!

Sometimes those Sugar cravings are just too hard to put Pandora back in the box! So a quick 3 Day Refresh may be what you need to CRUSH those cravings and get back on track fast!!

So now is your time to shine! Take control of your health and fitness now and imagine where you can be in just 30 days or 60 days! There is time to really turn things around before the holiday gets in full swing! Honestly, I always say that this time year it’s not about depriving yourself of everything you enjoy but it’s about living a balanced life! 80-20 rule is how we spend the holiday season!

Thanks for hanging with me today on the blog! Have a wonderful Tuesday!!!

Core de Force: Day 1!

Eeeeeek!!! Im SO excited to begin this new program!! Over the course of the next 30 days you can follow my journey along with my husband Ron as we take you on the Core De Force journey! Our journey starts TODAY!! LAUNCH DAY! Halloween!! Yep - goals baby!!

When it comes to having success with any program a huge part is your nutrition. I wanted to take some time today to really talk about what that is going to look like for you.

There are 4 potential plans that you can fall into [Plan A, B, C or D]

First: Figure out your calorie target!

What is your current weight then multiply that by 11 and that is your calorie starting point.
You take your calorie starting point and you add 400 calories because that is what you will burn with each workout and that gives you your maintenance calories.

Then, take your maintenance calories and subtract 750 calories to give you a deficit and that is your calorie target.
Then figure out which category you fit into based on that number!

Once you know your plan for calories you can check out how many servings of each container you get to eat per day. 

 Yes Core De Force uses the portion container system or it gives you the measurements for each one as well.

I fall into the lowest bracket which is Plan A which means I get to eat:

3 Veggie Servings (Green)

2 Fruit Servings (Purple)

4 Protein Servings (Red)

2 Healhy Carb Servings (Yellow)

1 Healthy Fat (Blue)

1 Seeds & Dressings (Orange)

2 Teaspoons per day (Oils, nut butters)

This eating plan is all about a balanced approach to nutrition with each plan working out to be about 40% carbs, 30% proteins and 30% fats.

Second: So now it’s time to create a meal plan to follow!

So for a sample of a days eating:

Breakfast: Shakeology mixed with Unsweetened Almond Milk, 1 Tsp Almond Butter, 1/2 Banana, 1C. Spinach Blended with extra ice and water (1 red, 1 green, 1 purple, 1/2 Yellow, 1 spoon)

Mid Morning Snack: 2 Hard Boiled Eggs, Cut up Apple with Cinnamon and Almonds (1 red, 1 purple and 1/2 blue)

Lunch: Clean Turkey Chili (1 red, 1/2 green, 1/2 yellow)

Afternoon Snack: Red Peppers & Hummus (1 green, 1/2 blue)

Dinner: Rotisserie Chicken, Brown Rice, Veggies and Spoon Sesame Oil (1 red, 1/2 green, 1 yellow, 1 spoon)

TIP: Water, water everywhere!!  Make sure you aim to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water per day for hydration and to keep feeling full! You are going to be sore as well so you need the hydration to help muscle repair! 

You want to stay away from processed sugars and breads.  If you must use a sweetener, go for a natural alternative like Stevia or Agave.  Using things like Cinnamon can also help curb the sugar cravings.  Skip the cream and sugar in your coffee and tea, pass on the soda and fruit juices and say hello to lots of water and seltzer water, black coffee and tea! 

5:30 AM! Yep!

Yes it is an adjustment! But small changes can mean BIG progress.  If you need more suggestions on how to break those cravings, reach out!

My favorite part about the fitness programs is walking people through the nutrition plan. So join me in my Core De Force Exclusive Test Group to get results and mentoring 1:1 from me!

Third: Workout Time! 

Once you have your meal plan together it’s time to press play!

The best part about the program is the fact that it outlines very very specifically what workout to do on which days. You can check off the box to keep yourself on track. Monday is MMA speed and Tuesday is Dynamic Strength! I am pumped for this workout and to see how the end result is! I really hope you join me because it is going to be a blast!

Do you want to join me??

Nutrition

With that said you will not receive the containers unless you want them or purchase the Deluxe Kit. The nutrition plan is really 80%of your results but this plan makes it easy to track what you need. 

And I say "track what you need" because so many of us do not get enough protein or complex carbohydrates (veggies). So without weighing food it gives you a great visual of how you should eat at each meal. It does so with these great containers. Based on your baseline starting weight you calculate very simply how many containers you get per day of each color. 

I share shopping tips and meal plans for the week so every Challenger is set up for success moving into the program. We usually keep it pretty simple to start so you don't get overwhelmed and choose from the approved foods lists, food you enjoy. That is KEY! If you don't enjoy it, you won't stick to it PERIOD.

So now here is the MOST important part. How do I REALLY succeed at this program?? Well, anyone can go out there and buy the Core De Force Challenge Pack and do the workouts. Unfortunately I have seen many of times ( I am also guilty of this) where we purchase a program with the best of intentions and before we know it, the workout is sitting on our shelf collecting dust and we make excuses for why we don’t have time or it isn’t the right timing. So don’t let this be another program that you have good intentions with! It’s time to take charge of your fitness and nutrition and get involved in a closed online community of support that is going to help you start and complete the program and get the RESULTS that you want just in time for the holidays.

 Here is the requirements and how to get started:
In my Test Group I am going to be requiring that each participate for the entire 30 days of the program starting on the 7th of November. Each participant must have ME as their assigned coach. You cannot already be working with another coach or be a coach yourself.
You must commit to both the fitness program and Shakeology to join the group. You will be getting everything you need for this group when you sign up with me.
You must be willing to participate daily in the closed online group. I will have you log your workouts, your daily food activity and provide you with tools, tips and recipes to help you get to your goals.

You must be willing to give it your all! Change is not always easy but it is totally worth it.

There will never ever be a perfect time to start your fitness and health transformation. You literally just have to take that leap of faith, bite the bullet and go for it.

Fit Mission Leadership Retreat

What a weekend!!  I just returned to Connecticut from Plymouth Massachusetts where I co-hosted 12 personally sponsored leaders. I collaborated with my friend and fellow Coach Jaime Messina to host this leadership retreat. It was an AMAZING event!!!

Anyone who was an Emerald Coach or higher and achieved Success Club the previous months could attend for FREE, other coaches could attend for a deposit. We invited Melanie Mitro, Super Star Diamond, 3X Elite, Currently the Top Coach for 2014 & 2015 come in for the event to do some training with the team as well.

We hosted this event in Plymouth, Massachusetts.  A little town just 15 minutes outside of Cape Cod.  Our beach house was right on the ocean with breathtaking views.  Plymouth is gorgeous and everyone loved the event!

The Vision

The vision for the weekend was to bring together our teams and create a positive team culture where we could grow, learn and challenge each other to elevate our leadership and our businesses! The goal is to develop friendships and provide each coach with resources so that they can reach their goals this year and in years to come. We run a virtual business and most of the time we are just chipping away in our own homes on our computers. It is nice to know that you are not alone in the struggles of building a health and fitness business.

You know what is pretty cool? When I got all of the women into the house it was like we were surrounded by 10 of our best friends. No drama, no conflict just lots of laughs, lots of brainstorming and just an amazing time at the beach building our businesses together!

Jaime and her dad did most of the meal prep, it was delicious and so thoughtful!  Our guests brought some apps and their favorite snacks and beverages.  Jaime and I hosted the training and the events. So what did the weekend look like?

Daily Agenda

Friday Night: Welcome Everyone arrived!  We greeted everyone on the first day with a special gift bag.  I gifted my team a copy of the "You Are a Badass" book by Jen Sincero, a coffee tumbler and a mantra band "Let Your Light Shine".  We enjoyed a potluck, cocktails and appetizers that first night and just got to relax and get to know each other.

Each coach went around the room and told a story of who they are, how they found their coach and why they became a coach! It was incredible to see how many coaches had followed me for some time before they signed up. Listening to each person tell their story made me realize how much more I love my job as a coach. I just love that I am truly making an impact on the lives of others and showing them how coaching can have such an amazing and positive impact on their lives and that of their families!

Saturday: Training Day! we kicked off the day with a Live Country Heat workout that I taught. Overlooking the ocean we did it on the roof top veranda.  The view was spectacular and everyone got a SERIOUS sweat! It was a blast!

Jaime was preparing breakfast while we worked out. Eggs, turkey bacon, whole wheat english muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt and Shakeology. It was quite a spread!

Next up was training! We brought our teams together to give them some solid business training to help move their business forward.

Jaime and I split the and presented the following trainings:

The Power of Your Story
Inviting & Following Up
Personal Development
Recognition
Challenge Groups

We broke for lunch and Melanie Mitro, our featured presenter arrived. We had time to break for a couple hours.  We had a FANTASTIC salad bar with baked chicken and sides.  It was a nice time for the team to socialize and meet Melanie as well as kick back a little from a busy morning.

For the afternoon session, Melanie was our featured speaker.  She presented on the following:

Time Management (making your business work while working FT) and a Q&A section.

Once we finished with this section it was PICTURE TIME!! We took team and retreat pictures as well as individual pictures with Melanie.

We had a great time and a lot of laughs! Everyone learned so much and how AWESOME was it to have devoted time to spend on our business development, team development and finding ways to help people really drive to meet their own personal goals!! Thats really the magic in all this.  No matter where we all came from, what our personal or professional background is, we all are doing this because we really CARE about making a POSITIVE impact!

Once we concluded the photo session, Melanie had 1:1 meetings with qualified coaches at the retreat to chat about personal goals for the end of the year and strategies to help them get to where they want to be.



Our goal was to provide the very BEST training possible to help coaches move their businesses forward as well as strengthen bonds and make new ones.  It was a success!!

While the girls were doing 1:1’s with Melanie, my co-host was pulling together dinner.  Each night we had a family style meal that was fabulous!

Saturday Night: Party! This was a great night of dining and cocktails.  We had some time to discuss our visions for the next 6 months and the next 1 year. Melanie continued to field questions and socialize with us to the evening.  We said goodbye to Mel and some of our Coaches had to leave for family commitments that night.

Sunday: Time for Goodbye! The last day and we all came back together for a breakfast in the morning. Honestly no one was rushing out of there!! We really learned so much, had so much fun and created some amazing bonds in the space of a short weekend.  We also wanted to respect our Coaches time by giving them back the rest of their holiday weekend.

However, if you spoke to any of them I think they would tell you that after this experience, they would not hesitate to devote time to coming again!

I truly truly am so blessed by this amazing team and I can’t think of a better job to have. I love that I get to have my own business and I can work as much or as little as I would like. I love that I can determine my future but I get to do it on my own terms and I truly am passionate about seeing other people succeed.

 In Closing-Our Team ROCKS! 
I LOVE hosting events like this because it is these moments when we come together that the real ah-ha moments happen! Life long friends are made and success becomes possible for so may!

 I love Team Fit Mission and I love coaching. Even after 2 and a half years of building my business I am not slowing down and I’m already thinking about how I can make next year even better!!!

 How can I top it? How can I continue to improve the growth of my team and help them reach their fullest potential?!

I can’t wait to see what the future has to hold for Team Fit Mission Coaches!!!
