21 DAY FIX FRIENDLY BEEF STROGANOFF

                                             TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT SUCKS!
 And when you have a family dieting and trying to lose weight can be even more of a challenge. Am I right ladies? Most of the time hubby and the kids don't want to eat your "diet" food, so you end up fixing two meals or compromising you're dieting efforts.
That's what's so great about the 21 Day Fix it is simple nutrition that the whole family can benefit from and enjoy.
And for your eating pleasure here is another awesome "Grandma's comfort food" recipe that has been remixed to be  21 Day Fix Friendly-    

                                                           Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds cubed round steak, cut into thin strips or cubes
• 1/4 c whole wheat flour
• 2    tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
• 1     medium onion, chopped
• 8     ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1      (10 3/4 oz) can low fat, low sodium beef broth
• 1      (10 3/4 oz) can fat free cream of mushroom soup
•  Salt, black pepper, garlic powder
• 1    8 oz block of low fat cream cheese

After washing the cubed beef season both sides with pepper, salt, and garlic powder then dust with flour. In a large skillet, quickly brown them on both sides in the olive oil. Remove the steak from the pan. Add the onion slices and mushrooms to the pan drippings. Saute for a minute, until the onions are tender. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flour. Put the steak back into the pan with the onion and mushrooms. Add the mushroom soup and beef broth. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, covered. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt and pepper, as needed. Stir in the cream cheese the last few minutes, right before you serve. Serve over cooked noodles.

How to make Homemade Low Calorie Peach Salsa that is 21 Day Fix approved

                    PEACH SALSA

Who doesn't love chips and salsa, but when you're trying to lose weight chips can really add up in calories. So, how is a girl suppose to get her salsa fix? That was my first problem and my second problem when doing the 21 Day Fix-How to get all those fruits & veggies in? Yeah, not a big fan of vegetables :(  So, Salsa to the rescue! With a little imagination salsa can be so much more then just a dip for chips. 

 Salsa can be sweet, savory, mild, or spicy. This recipe is just a little bit of everything. Ripe peaches bring juicy sweetness, and jalapeños, red pepper flakes, and Tabasco kick the heat up a few notches. It’s amazing by itself as a side dish or use it to enhance the flavors of other foods, like grilled pork chops. Veggies and herbs are the only other ingredients in this recipe, so each serving comes out to a low 35 calories. It’s easy to make and enjoy this salsa, but the hard part is choosing how you’ll use it first.

TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE SMALL CHANGES TO GET THE WEIGHT LOSE RESULTS THAT YOU WANT!

       MAKE SMALL SACRIFICES DAILY TO GET SUCCESS! 

If you want weight loss success or anything in life there has to be sacrifices made to reach your goals. You all see my post and pics with my results, but you haven't seen the behind the scenes sacrifices I've made to get those pounds off. Like right now it is 06:00 am I've already done a 30 minute workout and I have my Shakeology made, and chicken in the crock pot for making up my meals for the week. I knew last night that today was going to be busy, so I went to bed a little earlier so I could get up at 0500 and workout. Would I have liked to watch tv last night and sleep in an hour more-Hell ya but this is what I have to do to get and keep the weight off. So, the excuse of not having enough time to workout is it really valid?? Watch 1 less 30 minute show a day!

Next I thought I couldn't afford Shakeology either-Hello $130 per month, but I added it to my family's food budget, because it does replace a meal a day and with that breakdown it is $4.00 per meal. I cancelled HBO and Showtime, plus took the DVR off of 1 tv , which reduced my cable bill by $40 per month. I stopped going through the drive thru or I should say I limited my trips to only once a week. At $5.00+ a pop those trips really add up (I challenge you to keep your fast food receipts for 1 wk and just see how much $$ you waste). I became a Beachbody Coach for the 25% discount you get on purchases and my Shakeology was reduced to $95+tax per month.

What were the sacrifices again:

**gave up movie channels & DVR function on tvs
**gave up an extra hour of sleep
**gave up eating out daily
**gave up feeling like crap and being tired all the time
**gave up being humiliated because I didn't fit in the seat or I had to ask for special accommodations related to my size.

WAS IT WORTH THE SACRIFICES?

**I can ride the rides with my kids at Kings Island.
**I can run a 5K or take the steps without getting SOA and feeling like I'm going to die.
**I can take a trip on a plane and not be afraid that they or going to ask me to buy another ticket, bc I'm to fat for 1 seat or that I'm humiliated bc I have to ask for a seatbelt extension when the belt won't buckle over my stomach.
**I've decreased my chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, stroke.
**I've increased my chances at a long, active, independent life that I can spend with my kids, grandkids, great grandkids.

IS IT WORTH THE SACRIFICES-HELL YA!
You have to decide what you want more and decide are YOU WORTH the sacrifices?

HYDRATION-TIPS on water for weight loss, getting enough to drink for the day, importance of staying hydrated for fitness

                                                            HYDRATION

DID YOU OVER-INDULGE THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND? I sure did, so I'm hitting it hard this week with the 3 Day Refresh and I'll let ya know how that goes. Even though my eating was off track I did stick with my training for the ‪#‎BODathon‬ so I'm not totally bummed. If you did "LOSE IT" over the holiday and need to get back on track or you never were on track here are a couple of tips/tricks to help you out.

1. Dial in your nutrition -most of you my challengers have the 21 Day Fix, so if you've been slacking on measuring your portions then start MEASURING! Remember NO PROCESSED FOODS, NO WHITE SUGAR, NO FAST FOOD AND LIMITED ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER. If you're not in one of my challenge groups I have new groups starting at the first of every month. For more info just fill out the Support Group application below and it will be emailed to you. If you're ready to get a jump start on your diet TODAY you can sign up for my FREE 7 Day Clean Eating Meal Plan. All you have to do is fill in your email and the 7 Day Clean Eating Meal Plan will be sent to you along with a grocery list and recipes for the week!

2. HYDRATION is a must when you're trying to lose weight and it will really help to get rid of all that toxic crap you ate over the past 3 days. How much water should you drink a day? It is recommended you drink your body weight, divided by two, in ounces. So if you weigh 150 pounds-that would be 150 divided by 2 = 75. That's 75 ounces of water, every day. There are 8 ounces in a cup, so that'll be almost 10 glasses of water.

HYDRATION FACTS:

"Up to 60% of the human body is water; it serves as a lubricant for just about every bodily function, all the way down to your cells. It also plays a vital role in flushing toxins out of your system, delivering nutrients, and helping you feel full-which is especially important when you're watching your portions." 21DFX

** Here's a little trick to keeping up with how much water you're consuming:

Take an empty gallon jug and mark it off with a ruler in inches. Label each inch, starting with the time you would get up in the morning (06:00 am, 07:00 am, etc...) and this is the 1st glass of water you will drink that day. Then the next inch is 2 hours later that will be your next glass of water and so on and so on and you should have completed drinking all of your water at least 2 hours before your bedtime (that way you won't be up peeing all night long).

LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP THE FAITH

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS THAT THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS LET THIS STORY ENCOURAGE YOU THAT IT IS TRUE. This beautiful young lady asked to join one of my 21 Day Fix Challenge groups several months back she already had the program and didn't need to purchase it from me, which was just fine. From that day forward she has been an active participant in all of my challenge groups and she has been killing it, as you can see from the pictures.

I am so inspired by this girl and impressed by her relentless spirit of faith. So, what does this have to do with the Lord and all? For over a year now I've been praying about doing missionary work with Joyce Meyer Ministry and one of the main places her missions goes to is Africa, specifically Kenya. And what does that have to do with anything? Ms. Obianuju is in Kenya and very active with her church and faith there. Hummm....

I've questioned often if this coaching thing is something that I should be doing, but I truly feel that it is a calling that God has laid on my heart. Each time that I have doubts God will reveal another reason as to why I should continue down this path. Thank you Obianuju for being the reason I stay the course that God has put me on you truly are an inspiration.

Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone and Loss Weight Today

                           TRY THIS ON FOR CIZE

For you to full understand how unbelievable this really is you need to know how shy and reclusive I've always been. I was painfully shy as a child and didn't participate in a lot of fun activities because I was afraid and "shy". When I got older I used my obesity to keep me shielded, to protect me and I used it as an excuse not to do things.
So, we'll fast forward to the present day where I've wanted to be a fitness instructor for years. Actually, it started when I lost over 75 lbs with Turbofire, after that I wanted to be a Turbofire instructor. But no matter how much weight I lost I never felt thin enough, so the excuses would start. I have excess skin so it flops around when I get it removed then I'll be an instructor, when I lose just 10 more pounds, when I get in better shape, etc...
 At our yearly Coach Summit in Nashville, TN my mentor Chalene Johnson challenged us to step out of our comfort zone and to stop making excuses. Well I stepped up to the challenge and I signed up to get certified to become a CIZE instructor. What is CIZE? CIZE is the new dance inspired fitness program by Shaun T the maker of Insanity, HipHopAbs, Max30, etc... Believe me it took everything I had not to back out of going to this class, but I had paid my money and made my mind up. And today I am offically a CIZE Certified Instructor!!

EASY WEIGHT LOSS

EASY WEIGHT LOSS?

Alright, Alright I’m going to start off by saying I wasn’t going to say anything and actually I haven’t said anything for several days, but I have a little too much Grandma Cravens in me to let things go without putting my 2 cents worth in. I post a lot of pictures of myself and I’m sure some of you think I’m vain as hell, but it’s part of my job, coaching, and it helps keep me accountable with my weight loss. Your comments and post mean the world to me and really help me to be successful. I generally am a positive person and don’t let negative comments drag me down, but the other day a lady posted under the picture below the comment, “yeah that’s easy for you to say”. That has irritated me for days now and the lady is a friend of my sister’s, so I called my sister all pissed off and let her clarify the comment and she reassured me that I misunderstood the intent and that probably is true.

The point is the lady is right it is easy for me to say that you are going to do it. I’m not telling you the journey is going to be easy, because it’s not and you already know that, right? How many diets have you been on? I’m telling you that the decision to get health and to lose the weight is easy, BUT that is just the 1st step.  NOW, NOW take step 2 make a plan and implement it TODAY!

1. What changes are you going to make to the way you eat. Write them down- are you going to count calories, do the 21 Day Fix, Paleo, give up sugar, give up fast food, eat clean, find out what the hell eat clean means? Pick something and implement it!
2. What are you going to do for fitness 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. And you are aiming for 5 days a week, so you will get at least 3 days a week in, because we all know there will be days we say f*** it, right? So, schedule 30 minutes 5 days a week for a workout. You can give up 1 tv show a night, the Vampire Diaries is getting old anyway now that Elena is dead. And this time is written in stone just like a doctor’s appt or a meeting at work, because it is just as important, if not more important, this is your life people!
3. Join an accountability group so you can get the support you need to get through this, because it doesn’t happen overnight it takes days and days of consistent behavior to get results and you need that support for the long haul. I have groups all the time, but if you don’t like me or find me annoying there are plenty of other coaches out there who are willing to help you.

What ever you do, don’t just do nothing and sit there and let your life pass you by because it was easier to just do nothing at all. I thrive when I’m pissed off and I hope that you do too! You are blessed my friend open your eyes and take hold of that power and run with it. If you need help or want to talk send me a message to wantmoreinfo2day@gmail.com and I'll get back with you soon. www.facebook.com/LorimuddWTF3

DID YOU FORGET?

 I just want to remind you that you are FREAKIN' AWESOME!!
   And to tell you to STOP settling for good enough, if it's not truly GOOD ENOUGH. Are you happy with your life? With the career you've chosen or the line of work you are doing? The partner you have chosen to be with for life(hum,hum)? The place that you live in? Your income? Don't fool yourself into believing that you have no control over these things, because you do!
   Just because you got with a man/ woman or got into a job 20 yrs ago and it was right at that time for you and your family doesn't mean that you are stuck with that decision for the rest of your life. We all have choices in our lives to make and we can choose to settle for a mediocre life where we are happy sometimes, but most of the time we are working our asses off to make ends meet, fighting with the people we love because we are so stressed over bills, work, LIFE! Or we can take a step of faith and choose a life of abundance. A life where we are happy the majority of the time and healthy, because we have reduced the worry and stress in our lives by making better choices. STRESS is the #1 factor that leads to overeating, which leads to obesity. I'm sure none of you are surprised by this fact. 
  But I've been with this company for 26 years I have to much invested to leave now! I spent a lot of time and money to get my degree I can't just throw it all away now it would be wasted! Let me ask you this do you know the average life expectancy of a human? So about how much more time no this earth do you have??? God willing and blah, blah, blah... Yeah, do you really have time to WASTE being unhappy, unfulfilled, trapped in a body that is weighing you down or burdened with financial issues that keep you from living the life of abundance that God has planned for you? Isn't it time that you INVEST in YOU?
  I'm telling you this as your friend and as someone who has been there. I wasted over 20 yrs of my life trapped in a body that kept me from being who I was destined to be and I don't want you to wake up one morning with regret knowing what you could have had, if only you had taken the chance and believed in yourself and your destiny. I remember crying because I so desperately wanted to go on the Optifast diet, it was the miracle diet at the time, and I didn't have the money. We were on Welfare with 2 kids and a new born baby and I was in nursing school. My husband was working but he had been let go of his job of 11 yrs when a new owner took over, so at his new job his pay was a lot less and ends were not meeting. I know now that those hard times had a purpose and that was to prepare me for my true calling. 
  It is my goal to give back to as many people as possible by helping them find their path to their life of abundance. Whether it be through weight loss or the coaching opportunity I know that this is what God has laid before me and I'm ready for the challenge the question is are you ready for your life of abundance?
