Hammering and Chiseling in progress!!

Watch out...Hammering and Chiseling in progress!!!! So exited to start this program. I really need to get rid of the holiday fluff. LOL!!! I am really trying my best to stick to a meal plan. With being at home now the temptations for little snacks are there but trying. I started on Monday and did day two today. All I can say is WOW. What an amazing program. I have done a handful of BeachBody programs and by far this is one of my most challenging ones. I cant wait to see what my results are going to be!!! Show you in 60 days!!

Steak and Roasted Vegetables

Hey! Sorry life was a little crazy. We sold our house in Florida and now live in Pickerington, Ohio. Now that I get to stay home with the boys I feel like I have more time for the kitchen.
Tonight's dinner was delicious.

Super easy to make.
Get your self some really thin cut flank steak. I cooked mine on the stove top. I sprinkled with paprika, oregano, and chili powder. Cook until it's a good fit for your taste buds.
As for the roasted vegetables. Cut up some broccoli and red onion. I marinated it during the day with some garlic, fresh lemon juice, and himalayan salt. Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread the veggies out on it. Cook for 20 minutes.
Cut the steak into strips and mix with the veggies and enjoy!

Chalean Extreme reivew

During the summer my main program was Chalean Extreme. I started the last week of June and finished it about a week ago.
What made me choose Chalean Extreme? I was looking for  a weight lifting program. I love my cardio but I really wanted to start toning my arms more. I notice the difference and am happy with the results.
The program was fun...you worked hard...but you know you were accomplishing by the end of the daily program. I never felt defeated! Which for my personality is super important!!

Here are my before:

here are my after pics:

My favorite day of the program wound up being my Wednesday. It was fun to work it hard for the cardio aspect and then a cool down with the weights. I liked the intensity of that particular program!!! While 90 days was very long...I still enjoyed this program and the progress I was making while completing this program kept me going to the end!!!
If you have any questions on the program, please reach out to me!

Fall Into Fit(ness)

 I am so excited to have a new challenge group starting October 5th. The holiday season is quickly approaching (halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas/New Years). There will be bags of candy and so much more food! The average weight gain during this time period is 10 lbs. Do not let this happen to you. Let's work together to get fit and stay fit!!!

What is a challenge group??

A challenge group is an online, secret-style group where we all work together to hold each other accountable.  We share recipes, grocery lists, tips for success, and daily challenges!!! As crazy as it sounds, this crazy little challenge group is the SECRET to success!!


Do I have to diet?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! I run AWAY from the word diet. Do not deprive your body of things you need!! You NEED carbs, you NEED protein, you NEED fruits and veggies, and you NEED a little sugar here and there :)
 We focus on clean eating. So throw that word "diet" out of the window!!! Because it is simply not what we do :)

Do I have to workout?

YES!! You do have to workout :) No shortcuts there!!! BUT you can ease into it! I am teaching you a lifestyle change! No more "quick fixes". You don't have to be a pro and you don't have to nail it every time!!  PROGRESS, not PERFECTION. 

HOW DO I SIGN UP???

You can either reach out to me on Facebook: Sarah Wawerek-Lodge or write to me at: sarahwawerek@gmail.com (subject line: fit into fall)

WHEN DOES IT START?? WHEN IS THE DEADLINE??

October 5th the fun stars!!! Deadline: usually takes a week for shipment!

Beachbody Performance Supplement

In late July Beachbody had introduced their Beachbody performance line. The line contains four powder drinks formulated with key ingredients to scientifically proven to be effective.

The above picture shows the four drinks. Let me explain each of the drinks:
Top left is the pre workout drink: Energize. Energize improves intense exercise performance, increases energy and endurance, and sharpens focus, and reaction time. The flavor is lemon.
Top right is the during work out drink: Hydrate. Supports hydration during exercise, replaces electrolytes lost during exercise, fuels working muscles, and improves endurance. Hydrate is a citrus flavor.
Bottom left is the post work out drink: Recover. Speeds muscle recovery, promotes lean muscle synthesis, combats exercise-induced muscle soreness, and improves muscle strength recovery. The flavor is chocolate (so yummy I almost forget to snap a pic!)
Bottom right is the drink you take prior to going to bed: Recharge. Supports overnight muscle recovery, improves overnight adaptation to exercise, promotes lean muscle synthesis, and reduces muscle breakdown. Recharge is a vanilla flavor.
There is also the creatine. This add-on has no flavor and mixes well with the Post-Workout formula to improve high intensity exercise performance, increase muscle strength and power, and enhance the effects of resistance training.


How did I like these?
I really enjoyed all four of these products. They all have a really nice flavor. I started my day off with my regular shake. You have to time these all right as they do have times suggested to take these (either prior or post workout). The energize be warned will give you a tingly feeling. I was told that this is normal. With the energize and the hydrate I could really feel myself pushing harder during my workout (currently doing Chalean). I was a sweaty mess too...more so than I ever am. Recover really cooled me down. The nice thing about the recharge was that it curbed a sweet tooth attack on Friday night (LOL). But I even woke up on Saturday with less muscle ache than I usually do after a good weight work out!!

I found these to be great products and like I said, really felt a difference with my work outs. I felt more energized and ready to tackle my program.

Note: If you are following the 21 day fix these do not count as any of your containers.
