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!

Pasta fagioli soup!
Some of you may not know, but I am an Olive Garden addict. Bad.
So how happy was to find I could recreate pasta fagioli! The only exception, I left out the meat.
Here is what you need:
28oz vegetable broth
15oz great northern beans
14oz diced tomatoes
2 zucchini quartered
1tbs EVOO
1.5tsp minced garlic
1/2tsp dried basil
1/2tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup uncooked ditalini
Bring to a boil let simmer for 30 minutes
This serves 5.
Enjoy!

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).
