Post Turkey Day 5 Day Reboot Group

What if I told you that I was offering a 5 Day FREE Nutrition Group

COMPLETE with Meal Plan AND Food Shopping List!

 

 

Let's be honest, although Thanksgiving is supposed to be about what we're thankful for, it's really become a holiday that's simply an excuse to indulge.  And we're left feeling bloated, stuffed, and perhaps even cranky over what we ate.  So how do we bounce back during the time that most American's put on the most weight? 

 

Reboot with a 5 Day Nutrition Group! 

 

Starting on Monday, December 2nd I will be hosting exactly that on Facebook in a "secret" Facebook group!  Get the support and accountability you need from within the comfort of your own home!

How to Register and Rules...

1.
In order to register for the challenge you must do the following..
+ Click on "Attending" on the challenge "EVENT" (www.facebook.com/ fattofabmomma.com)
+ Send a friend request to me at "Kimberlee Neglia Doktor (www.facebook.com/ kimmie0270)

2.
The food shopping list and menu will be made available the weekend before the challenge begins.  It is important that you prepare yourself for the challenge in order to make it work for you.  That includes eliminating any "trigger" foods in your house.  Remember, if it's not good for you, it's probably not good for your loved ones as well.

3.
Each day there will be a post with the various ways you can earn "points" for that day.  You are to post on THAT thread which ways you earned your points.  This is on the honor system.

4.
If you do not post in the group daily - YOU WILL BE REMOVED.  This does not mean that you cannot participate in future groups, but the point of this group is to get yourself going.  If you are not actively involved, then this is not the right place for you at this time. 

5.
Do not add anyone to this group.  Although we all have friends we'd like to have involved, it is important that you do not add people in.  If others you know would like to participate, they can do so - but by following the same "registration" process as everyone else.  Then I will add them into this group.

6.
Weigh yourself.  You do not need to post your starting weight, it is not necessary for everyone here to know.  But at the end of the 5 days I am going to ask for everyone to post any weight loss that they accomplished during this short period of time.

7.
Shakeology is on the meal plan.  If you chose to use it you can order it via my website www.beachbodycoach.com/kimmie0270 and order the ShakeO Taste Sampler.  HOWEVER, I PROMISED this is a free challenge.  If you choose not to use ShakeO you can substitute with any of the other snack options given throughout the week of meal plans.

7.  So what are you waiting for?  Get Registered!

Until Next Time...

How to NOT Put on that Holiday Weight...

Let's be real, nobody wants to go on a 'diet' during the holidays.  And although it's be wonderful if you've already created a lifestyle that focuses on healthy and nutritious food choices, this is the time of the year where even the most health-conscious person enjoy a few treats.  But according to wiki.answers.com ---"the average weight gain between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day (approximately forty days) is three to seven pounds. The already-overweight individual risks a higher weight gain amount during the Holidays than a normal weight person."

But using these simple tips may help you deal with keeping that typical holiday gain in check.


Don't Go to a Party Hungry - there's nothing wrong with having a small snack before heading out to the festivities.  Enjoy a handful of nuts and raisins, maybe some cheese and crackers, something that gives you some protein and good carbs can help you from overeating since you're not ravenous when you show up.

Don't Skip Meals. "Saving" calories doesn't work.  It also will leave you feeling hungry and cause you to potentially overeat when finally given the opportunity.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind - There is no need to have a cookie jar full of Grandma's homemade chocolate chip cookies on the counter.  Using the excuse of "but my children (or husband, or roommate...) like them" is nonsense.  If it's not good for you, it's not good for them... Period, the end!

Don't Drink Your Calories - I love the holiday beverages as much as everyone else, but in moderation.  Eggnog, + wine, + hot apple cider with whipped cream and caramel + (you get the message) can really add up! 

Sleep - Our bodies need sleep to reboot.  Don't use the holidays as an excuse to overextend yourself.  his will just leave you rundown.  Make time for sleep, try aiming for 7-8 hours a night.

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise - You can't out exercise a bad diet, but it can make you more aware.  Remember, it can take a lot more time to burn off calories then consume them.  But exercise makes you not only feel better, but makes you conscious of what you are eating throughout the day since you put in that extra effort!

Looking for a new workout program to help keep your waistline in check this holiday season?  Let me help you find the right Beachbody Workout for you!

How Can You Find Health?

According to World Health Organization: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Most of the people do not know the real importance of health, and even if they do realize its importance, they disregard it. Good health is a prerequisite to perform well in home as well as in office. When we talk of good health, it does not only refer to the sound conditions of body; it equally refers to the sound psychological conditions of mind. Psychological health is as crucial as physical health.

Disease usually originates from mind. A man can be labeled as healthy if his body is free of any disorder and his mind is neat and clean. Unbalanced mind results in psychological problems. Most of the people do not have physical problems even then they don’t feel comfortable. They may suffer from stress and insomnia. They may feel aimless, irritable and depressed. They may stay unhappy and dissatisfied throughout their life.

Usually people attempt to stay physically fit. Unfortunately they ignore the importance of psychological fitness. They focus on material aspects of happiness. They strive for lucrative income, a big house, status, expensive jewelry, latest model of car and so on… they believe that these material things can make them happy. But happiness is seldom related with material things. It is the peace of mind that brings happiness. It is the healthy mind that makes you psychologically fit.

Shakeology Pumpkin Protein Bars

I'm always looking for some new and interesting HEALTHY recipe ideas - and we all know my LOVE of pumpkin!  So I found a recipe for these pumpkin bars, and shook up the recipe a bit to better suit my likings and came up with these Shakeology Pumpkin Protein Bars!

These bars have 94 calories, 2 grams of sugar, 7 grams of protein and only 14 grams of carbs.


Ingredients...
3 egg whites
1.5 cups uncooked old-fashioned oats
2 scoops Vanilla Shakeology
tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp sea salt
1 cup pumpkin

What to Do...
Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Pour batter into a greased 8x8 baking square.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Once they cool, cut into 9 squares.

Voila!  Matty was my tester for these bars.  And he really liked the crust, but said that he would have preferred if there was "more in it" for more taste.  Next time, I'm going to add dried cranberries and possibly walnuts too!
