Focus T25

How about we talk for a minute about Focus T25?

This program has different levels, it starts with Alpha, goest to Beta, and finishes with Gamma.

I just finish my first week of the Alpha program.

What I LOVE:
1. There is a modifier on screen! If you can't do high impact this is awesome!
2. It is only 25 minutes of your entire day, er-body got time fo that!
3. It is still Shaun T ;)
4. It is a great beginner program!

Even if you are super, and I mean super, out of shape this is a great first step because there is a modifier and it isn't crazy like the Insanity program but it is still cardio to help you drop that weight!

Don't get me wrong, even if you are modifying it is hard. HARD! But doable.

Fitness is more than just working out, to me anyway, it is about seeing how you can improve yourself.

This is one thing I LOVE about Shaun T.

He says, on more than a few occasions, "it isn't about how many we can do it is about how much you can do." It is all about you after all.

How can you change your body and make yourself stronger?

If you are thinking about taking that first step toward fitness, I would love to help you get there!

Quest Bars?

Ok, I have heard a ton about Quest protein bars, and I will admit, I was super excited to try them due to all the hype.

NOT FOR ME!

Nope, tasted like straight up protein. Blah.

I tried three, yes, three different flavors. Most of which I took a bite and spit it back out.

Some people love them, I am just not one of them.

So, rather than those, I decided I will make my own little snack.

Though Quest bars have 21g of protein (hence the awful taste), my snack won't have that much, it is still clean.

Here is what I plan to do:
1 cup "Kind" quinoa oat granola
2 tbs all natural crunchy almond butter
Make "cookie" size snacks
Roll in wax paper and freeze for 90 minutes
cut in half and enjoy!

Well that is the plan anyway, so I will definitely blog the results.

Quinoa pasta and Meat sauce

Tonight I made quinoa pasta for the first time! Super easy! However, do not put kale in the oven and get destracted it ends in a smoke alarm going off and wasted delicious kale! 

Anyway, here is what I made tonight:

Here is what you need:

1 Jar of Classico traditional (we use this brand because there is no soy, yes they put soy in sauce for absolutely no reason!)

1 lb of meat (I used venison because that is all we eat in our house but lean turkey or lean beef is a good choice too.)

1 box of Ancient Harvest Quinoa pasta

Follow the directions on your box for the pasta. Brown you meat and drain. Add Classico to meat and simmer while pasta cooks. Combine and enjoy!

A quick dinner for the Italian palate.

Dinner and a Movie

Balance, is key to life. We need it to survive, we need it to enjoy. Tonight I had a wonderful healthy meal with my husband and mom, and then my husband and I enjoyed popcorn at the movies with our friends. Balance.

So Dinner:

My mom and I both enjoyed a grilled chicken breast toped with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a worcestershire sauce, with a side of roasted cauliflower, and roasted asparagus.

It was amazing!

Clay enjoyed a sirloin steak with wild grain and brown rice, he tried (and actually liked roasted cauliflower), and roasted asparagus. He also marinated his steak in worcestershire sauce.

And the movie…. we went to see Divergent with our friends Scott and Laura, who also read the books. Of course any movie being adapted from a book will have to make some changes to make the movie stand on its own, but the changes were awesome, and I felt added to the over all effect. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and the special effects were outstanding. They did a fantastic job showing the emotions from the book translating to film. I also enjoyed my movie theater popcorn, though my stomach is not so happy with me now…. I'm thinking probably because of the butter, dang dairy!

Anyway, the point is, you can make healthy changes and still live a "normal life." You can still enjoy going out with your friends. 80/20 rule people, its important.

Pizza!

So one of my favorite, and I do mean favorite, foods is PIZZA!

I am the girl that can eat an entire large pizza solo. No Joke. I LOVE IT!

Thats not good. And especially not clean!

So this is something I have been struggling with, but no more!

I bought this dough in the organic section at Kroger, it is Pamela's pizza dough. It is made with rice flour (score!). So I followed the directions on the package, I recommend this method of rolling the dough between two pieces of parchment paper, it was super easy!

 I cooked up some chicken and tossed it in buffalo sauce.

While the crust was pre-baking, I gathered my other ingredients:
Classico pizza sauce (no preservatives)
Part Skim Milk Ricotta Cheese
Part Skim Milk Mozzarella

Put the ingredients on and baked according to the package!

It was delicious! I apologized for not getting an after it was cooked picture but we had somewhere to be right after dinner so it was a pull from the oven, eat quick and go kinda night!

I highly recommend the crust and you can make the pizza however you best like!

Tips for the Fastlane Lifestyle

It seems we are always on the go! Seriously, we have things on our calendar as far as a year in advance, its nuts! A question I get a lot is: how have you stayed on track with being so busy isn't it hard to fall off the wagon? Yes, and no. I have a few tips and tricks I have learned along the way, one of them is make preparations!

Last year, for christmas, my mom gave us one of the best presents ever, a Zoo Atlanta year pass! I know that doesn't sound very exciting but let me tell you we went just about once a week and it was brilliant because I could get the boys out of the house and do something fun and educational at the same time!

This year, I upgraded our passes, it is fantastic because I know have admission for two adults and four children (children under 3 don't need a ticket) in to the Zoo, so today I met up with my amazballz friend Laura, her little girl and her two nieces. We packed a lunch and picnicked in the Zoo. Though it was colder than the weather man predicted we and the kids had a great time!

Two years ago I would have just bought lunch there. I would have spent the outrageous amount of money to save a little time in the morning getting out the door. Now, is a much different story.

One item I LOVE is my Thirty One cooler! This lets me pack and go quick! It never leaks, and keeps all our food cold! Shout out to Kaley, my consultant! Follow her link to check out super awesome coolers and lunch boxes!

Products as simple as a cooler or lunch box can make a big difference in the deciding factor of packing or buying.

Today, I packed:
2 cups of my new organic romaine lettuce
4 oz chicken breast tossed lightly in buffalo  sauce and lite ranch dressing from Naturally Fresh
1 serving of tomato cucumber salad (one cucumber and 5 oz of cherub tomatoes tossed in 1 tbs EVOO)
6 boars head maple honey turkey slices rolled up with 1 tsp of Atheno's roasted red pepper hummus
1 organic pink lady apple
1 32oz water bottle

And that was just for me!

For the kids:
Light Brown Rice Bread with Private Selects Wildflower Turkey
2 bananas one for each
my oldest had a yogurt
2 small containers with 1.5 servigins of Kettle Brand Krinkle Cut Potato chips
1 organic orange
Both of the boy's water bottles

Packing lunch saved me about 1,000 calories of junk food I could have had at the Zoo, cause lets be real, I would not have ordered a salad, it totally would have been chicken fingers and fries with a big ole helping of ranch dressing!

Meal prepping once a week can really help too. Most of the food I packed, I already had put together last week, so I was able to just grab and go!

If you are looking to change your lifestyle, I would love to help you! I am a team beach body coach, if you would like me to help you through your journey, contact me here, Facebook (Tiffany Danielle Willoughby), or email me (tiffanywilloughby2@gmail.com).

Farmer's Market Baskets and Kale Chips!

Well, today I picked up my first basket from Farmer's Market Baskets! I ordered the large organic basket for $35.70. I was not disappointed! It was a little strange pick up at Brookstone, is at someone's home but Lori, the lady that lives there, is super nice!

Looks like a good size bag right? Lets talk weight cause this was heavy!

This is what was inside!
2 heads of romaine lettuce
1 bushel of spinach
1 bushel of kale
1 bushel of asparagus
1 cucumber
1 onion
1 red bell pepper
1 tomato
2 leamons
1 bunch of bananas
4 pairs
4 oranges
4 apples
Normally priced (at Kroger) for all this organic…….. grand total of $65!
Yep I'm a die hard customer now!

Secondly, I had no idea what to do with Kale. None. However, one of my teammates, Molly, had mentioned making Kale chips this week. So I thought, sure lets do that!

So first, pre-heat oven to 300. Next rinse your Kale and then dry it, dry it, dry it!! Don't forget DRY IT! As dry as you can possibly get it!
Then, remove it from its "ribs" (the middle part) and cut into 1.5 inch bits.

After that put it in a bowl and mix with olive oil and salt. You really want to get the olive oil over every little piece so it won't "bruise" in the oven. Place on parchment paper, do not double Kale up! Bake for about 12 minutes, let cool for about 30 seconds and enjoy!

I was super surprised at how much I LOVED it, and the boys too, Clay, not a fan but the man won't eat salad either so c'est la vie. I was also informed it does not store well so only make what you will eat!

Fresh Salmon, Mashed Potatoes, and Roasted Asparagus

Hi All!


Tonight I did something special: fresh salmon, adapted mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus.

First, I usually buy skin on salmon from the fish department at Publix. The Publix near us has a phenomenal fish department!

I baked the salmon at 350 degrees for 20 minutes in a pyrex dish covered with foil and seasoned with Emeril's Fish Season and Majic's Salmon Season.

Next, I peeled four large white potatoes, cut them into quarters and boiled them just like normal.

Once finished cooking, I drained them and put them in a large bowl. I added 1/4 cup of Rice Milk and 1/4 cup Earth Balance and blended with my mixer. I added salt and pepper to taste (very little salt).

This recipe for the mashed potatoes is great for anyone with a dairy allergy. Plus, the Earth Balance we buy is "soy free" which is great for people with soy allergies as well!

Lastly, the asparagus, snap the ends put on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with parmesan cheese, let roast for 12 minutes.

Enjoy!

Currently I have 2 spots left for the April 7th Team Fitini 30 Clean Eating Challenge.

We eat food just like this and all the recipes you find here. For more information, contact me here, Facebook (Tiffany Danielle Willoughby), or email (tiffanywilloughby2@gmail.com)

Banana Muffins With Quinoa Flour And Oats

Since we found out Andrew is now allergic to gluten, we can't use regular flour.

Also, after 23 day of no gluten for me, I ate two sandwiches this week on multigrain bread, boom, hello acne! This is one of the signs of gluten intolerance! Imagine that.

So, we have gone gluten free. I have revamped the previously posted banana muffins, with some much improved ingredients!

Here is what you need:
2 cups quinoa flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup Earth Balance
(this is a butter substitute, completely dairy free and comes in "soy free" so we can consume it!)
1/2 cup organic apple sauce
3 over ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup quick oats
Cinnamon to taste

 Whisk all the dry ingredients together. Add all the wet ingredients and blend!

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
Grease muffin pan, I use extra virgin olive oil because the sprays have soy in them. 

Pour equally and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick can be cleanly inserted and removed. 

Let cool for ten minutes.

Remove and Enjoy!

This recipe yields 12 muffins.

Stuffed Peppers

Well after making those delicious banana muffins, we found out Andrew is allergic to flour. So now we are looking at replacements for that recipe. Possibilities are maybe a quinoa flour? I will test and let y'all know! Especially all of you out there that are gluten free!

Tonight we are having stuffed bell peppers….. can anyone say yummy?

Here is what you need:

1 pound lean ground turkey
1/4 white onion chopped
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup quinoa
1 can chicken broth, I used the 100% fat free and reduced sodium
Optional:
Frank's Red Hot Sauce
Lemon Pepper Season

 Cook quinoa in 1 cup water and 1 cup broth. Bring to a boil and cover let simmer 15 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, cook turkey and onions, and add seasonings.

 Once the turkey is cooked add tomato sauce and quinoa.

Place peppers on a cookie sheet and stuff! 

Put remaining broth in the bottom of the pan and then cover with foil.

Bake on 400 degrees for 35 Minutes. 

Enjoy!

I would like to thank Shaun T. for this recipe, and for so much more. Thanks Shaun!

Insanity Results

So up until now most of my posts have been about food! Well lets get into the fitness side a little bit.

My name is Tiffany, and I am an Insaniac. My program of choice is Insanity. 

Yep I am addicted! I have completed this program 4 times but today was day one of the 5th time and this time is very different from the others. 

How is that? Well two things: one, I am drinking my shakeology every day. I used to just drink it every now and then but since I started drinking it everyday I have seen results I didn't know I could! Second, I am not modifying any moves! 

All the times I have done this program I have always done girl push-ups, didn't really do a ton of the jumping because I was just too out of shape, I mean the people on the videos are professional fitness people, I am not! 

I was still cursing at the TV this morning though! But, I pushed through because I know I want this!

The first time I did Insanity I had a lot of 1 reps or 5 reps on the fit test. Today was amazing. My reps are higher than I ever thought I could achieve.

Sometimes, it is hard to accept that I am no longer 255 pounds. I have a hard time reminding myself I am smaller, quicker, stronger, and now I can "dig deeper" and push harder!

Here are my before and afters. 

Okay, not really after because I am down from even here! That was right before I started the 30 day Clean Eating Challenge and finished round 4 of Insanity.

These are real results! 

These programs work, but you have to be willing to work for it. Just hoping for it, thinking about it, won't change you! I can say I have worked for it and I love it! I feel so much better, I didn't know I could feel this good, physically and emotionally. 

I still have a ways to go to reach my goal and I am hoping by changing my lifestyle to clean eating and round 5 of Insanity, I will reach it!

The next 30 day challenge starts April 7th. You don't have to workout, you just have to commit to change your life. But if you do want to take it a step further, I run an Insanity support group on Facebook, I would love to coach you!

Contact me here, Facebook (Tiffany Danielle Willoughby), or email (tiffanywilloughby2@gmail.com) if you are ready for a change! I would love to help you achieve your goals!

2 Great Finds!

I found two wonderful things, Farmers Market Baskets and Banana Oat Muffins!

First, Farmers Market Baskets, this is amazing if you live on the west side of Atlanta. They are based out of Kennesaw but they do drop off delivery baskets!

I bought the $25 membership for the year and visited the market today.

At the market I spent $17 and got a bunch of free bananas that were over ripe, so that is what the next part of the blog is for. I bought, 4 organic apples, 2 organic pairs, a back of organic black berries, a pack of organic strawberries, a bunch of organic asparagus, organic yellow squash, and organic tomatoes and cherubs!

So after seeing that loot, I went home, went on the website and ordered the large organic basket for $35 which I can pick up next Tuesday in the Brookstone neighborhood, that is the closest drop off point near me.

I encourage visiting the website Farmers Market Baskets, they are also on Facebook!

Second, Bannan Oat Muffins! I adapted this recipe from traditional Banana Nut Bread.

Ingredients:
3 over ripe banans
1/2 cup organic apple sauce
1 cup quick cook oats
1 cup sugar
1 cup flower
1 tbs vanilla extract

Pre-heat oven to 350.
Mix in a large bowl.
Grease a muffin pan, I use all natural extra virgin olive oil.
Sprays like PAM, even the olive oil ones have soy product.
Equally distribute the mix into the muffin pans.

Let cook for 35 minutes or until you can cleanly dip a toothpick in and out.
Let stand for 10 minutes before removing. Enjoy!

Tacos?

When most people think of clean eating they think, "oh my gosh all I get is rabbit food!"

That can not be further from the truth.

Think of it this way: less ingredients, its ok.
I can pronounce all the ingredients and I know what they are without google, its ok.
God (or whatever you believe in) made it, its ok.

That includes TACOS! My favorite food is spicy. Spicy anything! So here is how you make clean eating tacos:

 I use a pound of ground venison because my husband is a hunter so we hardly ever buy beef. These crunchy shells by Old El Paso are amazing. Whole grain corn and in palm oil! This is important for us because most of these are in soy oil and Andrew is allergic to soy! I also use Kroger reduced sodium taco seasoning, it is also clean.

A little cheese on top and boom, dinner is served in under twenty minutes!

I still have spots open for the 30 day clean eating challenge starting April 7th. Message me on Facebook at Tiffany Danielle Willoughby or email me tiffanywilloughby2@gmail.com for more information!

Quinoa Jambalya

A few weeks ago, while on Pintrest, I found this awesome site with a ton of clean eating recipes. Since then I have tweaked and modified a lot of them so my family can eat them. One of my new favorites is Quinoa Jamabayla!

Here is what you need:

1 zucchini chopped
1 onion chopped
 2 cloves of garlic chopped.
All of that is in one bag that I had meal prepped last Thursday.
2 Red bell peppers diced, also in a bag from meal prep.
4 Chicken breast cutlets, cooked in Weber's N'Oleans Cajun spices, also meal prepped.
1 can chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes (no salt added!)
1 pound of shrimp
1 cup dry quinoa
And this go around I added 2 links of Hot Turkey Sausage.

I did not meal prep the sausage, so while that is cooking, I sauté up the zucchini, onion, garlic, and peppers.

 Add in your chicken broth, diced tomatoes and quinoa.
Bring this to a boil, then cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.

 Add in your meats.
Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Uncover and then boil off the excess water.
With this you will not get it completely dry like most Jambalya because the quinoa does not absorb water the way rice does, but it will thicken as it cools to serve!

This recipe serves 4.
Serving size is 1.5 cups.
Ingredients may vary so I recommend making a recipe in your personal myfitnesspal app, for a more accurate logging.
I also really really like spicy food so I add cayenne pepper to it for more of a kick.

If It Does Not Challenge You, It Doesn't Change You

Since starting this challenge, and this blog, I have received a lot of questions: why are you doing this? Isn't it really hard? Why insist on Shakeology? Why, Why, Why?

Here are some pretty simple explanations: I love the way I feel when I eat clean, my body hates me when I don't.

Yes, yes, it is really hard to stay disciplined in a world that is not clean. Yes, I slip up… last night I had Mexican with my family at a restaurant and not at home and I felt like absolute crap about an hour after eating it, though it tasted good at the time… I don't know that the way I feel this morning makes it worth it and will be further thinking about that next time.

I insist on Shakeology because it is a product I LOVE! They take such care into producing it, making sure there are only the best of the best ingredients in it, how many companies will not put out a product until it is absolutely perfect every time? I love the way I feel when I drink it every day, and I love the taste.

Why, why, why?

Because, I needed a change. I needed a big challenge that would push me past the excuses and get it done. I took the 30 day clean eating challenge because I know one of my weakest points is food! I LOVE to eat! Thats how I got to be 255lbs in the first place. I took this challenge because I want to be healthier, I want to live a long life and watch my boys grow into beautiful men. I want to teach them about discipline and will power and how nothing can control you. I want to lead by example.

Why do I promote the challenges?

One, they are free. Free information on how to be a healthier person? Who wouldn't share that!? The one requirement for the challenges are to have Shakeology everyday, yes I understand some people are super reluctant and feel like that is crap to have it required because then the challenges are technically not free…. yep I get that.

I was too. I also realize there are people out there that are too afraid to try something and succeed, cause that was me. I am the master at self sabotage. I never believed that it was okay for me to succeed at something. That I was deserving of better. Want to know who changed that? A group of women who are feeling the exact same way yet push each other to change. That group is the multitudes of people in these support groups on Facebook. People I have never met in person, that live all over this nation.

I decided to make an investment in me. It is that simple. Yes, I had to re-evaluate my finances to see how we can pay for it, but I wanted it bad enough, so I made it work. Every choice has a consequence, good or bad. My choice was to challenge myself to change myself. I couldn't be happier with the results. I am entering week four. We are in the home stretch. I am not quitting after this week though. I will continue clean eating but on a balanced diet rather than the fat shredder, and I will drink my Shakeology everyday.

On April 7th, I will go back on the fat shredder plan for another 30 days. If you would like to join me, email me at tiffanywilloughby2@gmail.com or get in touch with me on Facebook Tiffany Danielle Willoughby.

I have been reading my team mate's results from this challenge all week. The ones that committed wholly are amazed at what clean eating is doing for them, many also are continuing clean eating when the challenge ends next week. How bad do you want it? That is the ultimate question….

Low Country Boil and a night with Friends

Tonight, I made a low country boil and enjoyed the company of our very good friends, Jason and Erin and their three awesome kiddos.

 So, what went into this fantastic meal? Two pounds of shrimp, red potatoes, corn, and hot turkey sausage with a bag of Zaterians craw boil.  Do NOT follow the directions on the bag! If you are making this meal for this many people, use at least 12 cups of water in an extremely large pot! I also add a cup of white wine to help peal the shrimp. Bring the water to a boil, add potatoes and corn, let boil for 30 to 45 minutes checking the softness of the food. Add already cooked sausage, then add raw shrimp peel on and let simmer for 6 minutes. Drain and serve!

 The kids had hot dogs, I know, I know, that is not clean eating but c'est la vie. We also had french bread.

 This is one of my favorite cocktail sauces, no preservatives, no add ins and absolutely delicious!

 Our friend Jason and his two boys.

 My husband Clay and my son James.

Our friend Erin holding their 3 month old baby girl.

Moral of the blog, you can eat clean and still entertain! We enjoyed a lovely night, eating fantastic food and having awesome company. I hope you all enjoyed your Saturday as well.

Want to know why March is one of the most important months of the year?

Did you know March is National Nutrition Month? There are articles and blogs lighting up with how to be more nutritious…. but I want to take a second to talk about something very important to me. More than just clean eating, organic foods are making a huge comeback in our local grocery stores.

Now we have all heard pesticides are bad for us, preservatives are bad for us, and GMO's are really really bad for us, but what are we going to do about it? Yes, organic is expensive, but guess what? When you eat non genetically altered food the food taste better and fills you up longer! Andrew's allergies forced us into a nutrition world I never would have found on my own.

How can you make eating organic affordable? You all know I plan meals out a week in advanced, what you may not realize yet is that I design my dinner plans to contain many of the same ingredients.

For example:

Thursday: Chicken, Baked Potato, Broccoli
Friday: Chicken Fried Rice
Saturday: Low Country Boil
Sunday: Chicken, Potato, Broccoli
Monday: Tacos
Tuesday: Jambalya
Wednesday: Chicken, Baked Potato, Broccoli

All the chicken I prep before hand so it makes dinner easier and buying multiple packages and dicing them up makes it stretch farther. I am using shrimp in two of the recipes: low country boil and jambalya. I am using hot turkey sausage in both the low country boil and jambalya.

This week is particularly repetitive on the chicken, baked potato, and broccoli normally my dinners are not so but Thursday was just me and the boys and Wednesday the same story so my husband (Clay) is only getting one night of chicken, baked potato, and broccoli. And I LOVE baked potatoes stuffed with chicken and broccoli!

These are not crazy hard recipes either. Most people think, oh my gosh, organic! That has to be so hard! Or you haven't had anything good to eat in a month!? Wrong! Most of the things you love to eat, you still can, its just finding a new way to make them. Tomorrow I will be posting how to make the low country boil and on Tuesday I will be posting the jambalya.

If you feel like you would like more information than what is here I would love to coach you! Just follow the link and sign up for free. I do not get paid to coach, there has been some misdirection on that. I do however give it my all and will help you in any way I can, and if I can't, I have a wonderful group of coaches that can help get me the answers to you.

Clean Chicken Fried Rice

Here is one of my favorite meals. True it isn't the absolute best, it is with white rice, but sometimes its ok, remember the 80/20 rule. 80% clean 20% indulge!

Here it is:

 Chicken 8 oz (cooked from meal prep day), Bird's eye steam fresh rice with carrots, peas, and corn, egg white, and eggs.
Mix two eggs with 18 tbs of egg whites, scramble those up and put them in a pan. While those are cooking microwave you steamers one at a time. Once the eggs are mostly cooked up add the chicken. When the steamers are done add those in too.

 Add 4 tbs of lite soy sauce.

Mix all together and there is dinner for 4 in under 10 minutes!


I hope you all are enjoying the blog! Leave any requests in the comments, tomorrow will be especially tasty!

What Meal Prep Looks Like

Hey guys, yesterday we talked about meal prep and how planning out a week at a time can really keep you on track! So as promised here is what my meal prep looks like:

 I bake 16 Simply Truth Chicken Breast Cutlets in different seasonings and then cut them up and tupperware them so its easy to pull out and heat up during the week. Simply Truth is the new Kroger Organic line. These are steroid, hormone, and range free chickens! You can taste the difference for real and your body will feel the difference too!

This is my best friend! I bought this veggie slicer with different slicers and I use this ALLLLLL the time! Big time saver!

 Here I have all my peppers, onions, garlic, zucchini, and squash for the week. Prepping in serving sizes and baggies are great for grab and go's.

All my broccoli and cauliflower for this week :D

Of course there are things you can't really meal prep but doing as much as you can at once will help during the busy week and help keep you on track cause it is all pretty much done!

Clean eating is more than just eating well, it is feeling well! Remember no matter how hard you work out you won't get the results you want if you don't start in the kitchen!

Weight loss, building muscle, and over all fitness follows the 80/20 rule. 80% of it is in what you eat, 20% is the workout. You can not out train a bad diet! Oh wait, you eat pretty healthy already, that is awesome, let me teach you how to turn your healthy foods into fat shredders! Just sign up for free at Team Beach Body by clicking that link I will be your coach!

I still have space for the clean eating 9 day challenge starting March 13th. Eat clean for the first 5 days, then add Shakeology for the next 4 days. You can order the sample pack for this challenge. Or if you really want to just go for it, the 30 day clean eating challenge starts April 7th! All you need is Shakeology, Facebook, live in the US or Canada, and a My Fitness Pal Account (which is free!). If you are interested in participating you can reach me at tiffanywilloughby2@gmail.com

Clean Eating: Banana Apple Sauce Pancakes

Most of you know, Andrew is allergic to the world. Pancakes are a kiddo favorite so tonight I made my own. Here is how:
1 old banana
1 cup organic apple sauce
1 cup quick cook oats
cinnamon to taste
1 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

 I use a mixer to blend all the ingredients.

Then place on griddle, cooking at a lower temperature (250 degrees) for about 5 minutes on each side.

I top them with Log Cabin All Natural Maple Syrup. Its a little pricey on the syrup but there is no high fructose corn syrup, just the real and yummy stuff!

This recipe yields about 8 pancakes. And the kids love to help!

This is just one of the many recipes you can use during clean eating! Remember the next mini challenge (only 9 days) starts on March 13th! I have one person already ready to take the challenge, how about you? Even if you are not looking for a challenge group but would like a COACH its free to sign up and let me coach you into a better you!

Thanks for reading!
