Get Fit by Fall!

My next accountability group starts July 21 and it's going to run for 60 days instead of the usual 30! This will take us into the fall so that we can develop healthy habits before all of the food filled holidays begin!

So what does an accountability group look like?

• I post daily daily. This includes inspiration, challenges, ideas, discussion starters, recipes, meal plans, and my own setbacks and victories.
• If you are having a hard time, post to the group! There is always someone there to push you a little harder or give you some encouragement.
• Excited about a victory? Post that, too! We celebrate every accomplishments and I really like to focus on non-scale victories. Things like clothes fitting better, losing inches, feeling more confident, and being able to do exercises that you couldn't do before. We celebrate it all!
• For this group, you can do any Beachbody program that you want! It's a mixed group and we will all focus on clean eating. I have access to information about all of our programs and I can help you with any questions that you may have. 
• Studies show that having a strong support group helps you to stay on track with your program and helps you to see better results. That's actually why Beachbody created the coaching program. They wanted their customers to have the support that they needed to help them succeed! 

Don't forget PiYo and the 3 Day Refresh Challenge Packs are on special this month. You buy a 30 day supply of Shakeology and you get the program for free!

Oh and I had to share this because p90x3 has made me actually like Tony!

Organization and Healthy Eating

When I got my last challenge group together for an in person meeting, we were discussing how the 21 Day Fix works. My mom is in this group and she said "It's like the old Weight Watchers saying 'Fail to plan and plan to fail". This is so true, no matter what health or fitness program you are using. A runner can't just decide to train for a marathon without a solid plan - usually one that lasts months!

So, my mom went out and got super organized! And let me tell you - it's paying off! She has lost 5.5 pounds in two weeks and she is loving the program. It makes me feel great to be helping someone that I love to get healthy.

My mom is super crafty, so she made a neat notebook to keep all of her 21 Day Fix materials together in one place!

This has her shopping lists, recipes, meal plans, portion sizes, and her daily tallies all organized

This notebook is going to make things easier for her as time goes by as well. If she is having a hard time coming up with ideas, she will have an entire resource at her fingertips! It's almost like she is writing her own 21 Day Fix cookbook!

Along the same lines of being organized, she has her daily snacks and lunch all packed the night before. That way she can just grab and go in the morning! I find that this is a huge part of staying on track with this plan. If you aren't prepared, it's way to easy to grab the first thing available. And we all know that this isn't usually the healthiest option!

I have a new challenge group starting up July 20 to help everyone get fit by fall! This group will last 60 days rather than the typical 30 to help us develop healthy habits before life gets hectic again. Contact me at thejessicacsmith@gmail.com if you are interested!
