About Me

I'm Amanda! I'm a Beachbody coach and this blog is to hopefully motivate and encourage anyone who is trying to live a healthier life style. Why do it alone? It's a proven fact that with encouragement and positive motivation from other people, you are more likely to keep going!! I'll try to have motivating tips, recipes, healthy transformations and how to get involved and join the monthly challenge groups that I run!

21 Days is OVER

I swear it seems like yesterday that I started the 21 Day Fix, and now I'm all done :-(  Well, for now, just the workouts I'm done with.  The portion system is so neat, and so easy to make a lifestyle, that I'm going to continue while I do Focus T25 with a small group of friends.  I lost inches in all the right spots, and seeing abs that I swear, pictures do NOT do justice!

Why am I not doing the 21 Day Fix workouts?  I've been dyeing to do T25 for a while now, but I always seem to drift to something else!  I figure, since I'm going to Summit in about 3 months (the big Beachbody business trip in Vegas) I need to be in outstanding cardio shape to keep up with the likes of Chalene, Shaun T and Tony Horton when we do our workouts with them....also, a lot of my customers are asking about it, and although I feel comfortable with what I do know about it from watching my friends and husbands transformation, and watching my hubby workout to them......I need to do it myself.  Also, it'll give me enough time to fit in 21 Day Fix workouts after I'm done with T25!!

What I have learned from the 21 Day Fix:

-It's easy once you get the hang of it
-Weekly menus are important, and save you a TON of money (saved enough to cover the cost of my purchase)
-Eating right doesn't mean you have to eat like a bird, actually, that does more harm to eat like a bird!
-It helped my husbands acid reflux...no reflux in 3 weeks!!
-Abs are really made in the kitchen
-Side bends are no joke
-Anyone can do these workouts, no matter if you've never worked out a day in your life
-Those "little" containers aren't as little as you think
-This is a lifestyle change if you let it become one
-No food groups are left out, and for good reason
-Learn to fuel your body correctly

Now on to stats:
Devin unfortunately didn't want his picture taken :-( SO I had to accept his wishes. BUT he does regret it now ;-)  He wasn't able to do the workouts due to bronchitis, he did workout three times...once on day one, and then he thought he was okay to go for a run toward the middle and end, but his lungs are still pretty icky right now.

He lost 10 pounds, and 3 inches in his belly.  Once again, he only let me measure around his belly.

I myself did all my workouts, and also took generic pictures, and I promise for T25 I will take better ones.  Not sure why I just did it myself with my phone.  For some reason, I never get good pictures, the never turn out how I see myself, and I swear to you I had a four pack for real at the end of my 21DF.

Here's a picture of how I measure myself.  I only do one side of my leg.

After the 21 days where over, I lost 3 pounds :-)  I'm pretty much at my goal weight, so it isn't gong to melt off of me.  .25 around my lower chest (under my breasts), 1.5 in my waist, 1.5 in my belly, .5 in my hips (mostly from my bum :-(  I need to up my squats again!!), .5 in my upper right thigh, and .5 in my lower right thigh. So 4.75 all together and it would be more if I measured my left thigh :-)  Pretty happy with that, especially in just 21 days!!

If you'd like more information on the menus check out my picture section on Facebook at From Skinnyfat to Fit and feel free to message me with any questions!  If you don't have FB, email me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com.  Also, the 21 Day Fix Base Kit is still on pre-order, and will be shipping out at the very end of March, early April.  The 21 Day Fix Challenge pack is also on pre-order, but will be shipping out sooner...so that's your best bet to get moving on your health and fitness goals :-)  Plus the challenge pack is such a great deal, and it comes with the healthiest meal of the day, Shakeology!

I'm also doing a GIVEAWAY!!  Anyone who purchases a Challenge Pack from me during the month of March, will be put into a drawing and the winner will receive a gift from me worth $80!!  Drawing will be help on April 1st (and NOOOOO it's not an April fools joke!!)

March Madness!! 3 Challenge Packs!

I have mini abs!!  This picture was actually taken on day 10, I'm now on day 16 :-)  I didn't post it because I really thought there was no change.  Silly me, I found the picture a few days ago, and decided to put it side by side with my last picture from Body Beast.  I was kind of taken aback, I did lose .5 pounds at the time, and 3 inches, but I really didn't think I would notice.  Honestly I took the picture because I thought that I looked pretty toned, but then when I saw the picture, it didn't really look like what I saw.  So I was going to toss it.   

I'm really loving this program!  The workouts are motivating, and only 30 minutes long!!  The portion part is easy to get the hang of once you get going. 

Although it's no longer on sale, the 21 Day Fix challenge pack is still an amazing deal and ready to ship(** UPDATE as of 3/4, they are now on 2-4 week backorder again, I would suggest to pre-order them, so this doesn't happen to you again.......).  If you're interested in just the Base Kit (without the Shakeology), they are (also) still on back order until the end of this month.....but you can always pre-order it (either one), your card won't be charged until the product ships.
I've got to say, I'm pretty jealous of you all!! 3 Challenge packs on sale this month, and one of them is actually lower than what I can get it for!!! Anyone want to bargain with me??? If you want Shakeology but don't want Les Mills Pump, hit me up ;-P 

Seriously, Les Mills Pump has been something I've wanted since I started coaching.  It looks like a blast, cardio and weight lifting all in one????  But shipping is $20 for me, because the kit does come with the bar and weights.....but not for you due to the Les Mills Pump challenge pack offer!! You pay $2 for shipping!! Seriously, you get the program, and Shakeology for a price that I just cannnnnot believe, and it's quite a bit lower than what I would pay as a coach.......almost $70 lower!!  Like I said, I'm pretty darn jealous. 



Les Mills Combat is the second challenge pack offer, think cardio kickboxing, totally bad ass!  If you like Shakeology, or have been wanting to try it, you can get the Les Mills Combat program for $10.....that's a steal!!  



Last but not least, is the Ultimate Reset Challenge Pack. I did the Ultimate Reset back in November '12 and it was a real eye opener, and was an amazing all natural detox for not only my body, but my mind as well. I've been really thinking about doing it again, very soon....probably after Vegas. I do have my before and afters on here, and a lot of my journey.  Just type in Ultimate Reset in the search box.



So there you have it, the March specials......Somebody needs to scoop up Les Mills Pump....let me live through you ;-P.


Message me at my Facebook page From Skinnyfat to Fit if you have any questions or would like more details, to find out if one of these programs would be right for you.  If you don't do the FB thing, E-mail me at Hunnieshadow@yahoo.com!
