Greek Yogurt – Honey and Cinnamon

1 Comment

So the truth is…I’m not one to have yogurt as a snack! My mind is slowly changing though!!

One way to save money is to buy plain Greek yogurt and create the following snack:

1 cup of Plain Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon of Honey (*support buying local honey)
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon

Mix together and ENJOY!

I will mix it up and add some cinnamon chips too…YUMMY!!

The color coded containers are available for purchase in my fitness shop. The serving would be equivalent to 1 red container.

It’s not line dancing, but rather CARDIO DANCE to the hottest popular COUNTRY MUSIC. The newest Beachbody program, COUNTRY HEAT, will be released on July 27, 2016. This program is so simple that anyone can do it…and so much fun that you will not even notice that your toning your body and scorching the fat!

I was totally skeptical at first about this new program until I was able to try the sneak peek workouts. Both workouts left me dripping in sweat! Each COUNTRY HEAT workout is 30 minutes of exhilarating, low-impact movement to reshape your body, melt off the weight, and tone your shoulders, arms, legs, and booty…in 30 days!

I am so excited for the launch of COUNTRY HEAT. I’m going to be walking a select group of people from beginning to end through the program. YES! I will be completing the entire program alongside you. This postpartum momma is ready to have fun while getting my body back in shape after the birth of my son in April 2016.  I’m going to be making sample meal plans, giving you recipes, tips and guidance on how to rock this program from Day 1 to Day 30.

Recently, I was able to see the results from the people in the test group for COUNTRY HEAT and let me just say that they are getting incredible results. One person even lost over 60 pounds in 90 days! Remember there are no complicated moves, no weights or equipment. All you have to do is follow along and you’ll be dancing right in step from Day 1 to Day 30 to a healthier you!

There is no choreography to remember…simply follow the 27-30 minute workouts. Autumn Calabrese who created this program along with the popular 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, co-creator of Hammer and Chisel, author of the FIXate Cookbook, holds certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the American Fitness Professional and Associates is back at it again to help get you results!

There are 5 high energy, cardio based dance workouts, 1 dance conditioning workout, and the color-coded portion controlled eating plan. This program is an excellent option for anyone who likes Zumba, cardio dance, wants a break from weights or equipment as well as enjoys country music! Yes, COUNTRY HEAT is for all fitness levels; I mean it when I say anyone and everyone. Don’t forget to ask  a friend, significant other, or even your kids to join you!

You might be wondering how COUNTRY HEAT is different than CIZE. There is no choreography to remember. Autumn Calabrese teaches you two steps at a time then moves on to the next two steps. You do not need to memorize any of the moves. COUNTRY HEAT features the hottest country music. I’m sure you have listened to the songs on the radio or even attended a concert. Perfect interval training within each routine based on the beats of the song.

Autumn uses her portion control (colored coded) container system and meal plan to help you lose weight by eating what you want in the right amounts each day. These are the same color coded containers that I have used since starting my journey in 2015 with Focus T25 and 21 Day Fix. Don’t fix what isn’t broke!  In case you were wondering, there is a vegan meal plan option with this program.

Roasted Red Potatoes and Asparagus

Leave a comment

I wanted a recipe that I could bake asparagus and red potatoes together. Asparagus typically bakes in approximately 10-15 minutes; depending on the temperature. Time is limited and I wanted to make efficient use of time. I decided to use a lower temperature so that I could bake both the asparagus and red potatoes together. I made enough asparagus for more than one meal. Tip: Asparagus tastes delicious warm or cold; making for a great cold on the go snack! 

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:

  • Asparagus
  • Red Potatoes, cubed
  • Olive Oil
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic, minced
  • Oregano
  • Parsley
  • Sea Salt

WHAT TO DO:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheet with non-stick pan lining paper. This makes for easy clean-up.
  2. Place asparagus and red potatoes on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss.
  3. Sprinkle asparagus and red potatoes with sea salt and garlic; toss.
  4. Add grated Parmesan cheese over asparagus. 21 day fix portion for cheese is 1/3 cup; blue container.IMG_8341[1]
  5. Add oregano and parsley over red potatoes.
  6. Bake in the oven for approximately 35 – 45 minutes until red potatoes are done. The asparagus can be covered the last 15 minutes or so with aluminum foil as the asparagus will be done before the red potatoes.

The color coded containers are available for purchase in my fitness shop. Below is an example of how I portion out my food per the 21 Day Fix nutrition guide. I paired the veggies with a pork loin cooked in the crockpot while I was at work.
