Keep it simple or Kick it up a notch? You decide

21 DAYS - EXTREME RESULTS

The 21 Day Fix was an absolute game-changer! I've seen amazing results over and over again! People losing 10-15 pounds in just 21 days. AND nobody is starving, OR killing themselves at the gym for 1-2 hours a day!

Well NOW you can kick it up a notch and get seriously shredded in the shortest time possible with 21 Day Fix EXTREME, created by Autumn Calabrese. This breakthrough 21-day fitness and nutrition program combines simple portion control, clean eating, and extreme 30-minute workouts to deliver a body that is hard, lean, and defined.

What is 21 Day Fix EXTREME?
• A 21-day program that features simple portion control, clean eating, and extreme
30-minute workouts.
• The portion-control containers take all the guesswork out of how much you should eat.
• The Eating Plan will tell you exactly what to eat and when—and how to eat cleaner than ever.
• This is how you get seriously shredded in 21 days.

What makes this program different?
• No other program has you eating this well and working this hard. It's going to take guts, intensity,
and drive. But it's only 21 days.
• The 30-minute workouts are extreme. They combine steady-state aerobics, resistance training, and
explosive power moves that target every muscle in the body—to help you get shredded in a short
amount of time.
• Seven workouts; one for every day of the week so your mind never gets bored and your body
never adapts.
• For your nutrition, you'll not only be practicing portion control—you'll be eating ONLY clean foods.
No treats. No cheats. No excuses.
• Autumn has included her own competition nutrition plan, which she uses to get stage-ready and
ripped in 21 days.

Who should do the 21 Day Fix EXTREME?
Women and men who:
• Are impatient to get serious results.
• Don't want to make longtime commitments or have tried and failed at longer, more complicated
diet plans.
• Are serious with a "No BS" attitude toward workouts and nutrition.
• Have a dramatic short-term weight-loss deadline, or need a final push to achieve the hardbody
they've always wanted.
• Don't have much weight to lose, but want to get shredded and have defined abs.

5 days to a healthier YOU

I am starting another free 5 day clean eating "bootcamp" style group as part of my Get Lean in 2015 series.  Let me help you take action to focus on becoming the best version of you!  

One of my challengers lost 9 lbs in just 5 days, she was able to follow the one page shopping list which is broken down into categories by the supermarket isles.  All recipes are super simple to prepare and she was able to make 1 dinner that included  her family. (That's huge in my house) ;)  Win-win!!   

If you are curious and interested in securing a spot, comment below with your e-mail or go to fb.com/mariapaulercio and private message me and I will give you more details. 

My experience with the Ultimate Reset

I had never done a cleanse before, mainly cause I never wanted to give up my intense workouts.  Since becoming a Certified Health Coach, it would be hard for me to make recommendations for my clients do a detox, so the best way to help them get through it is if I did too.

The thought of not being able to keep up with running any chance I had or doing plyometric, hardcore moves was just something I wasn't willing to give up for 21 days.  Then finally, I decided to join a large group of other challengers who were also looking to detox.

The prep was a bit intense, going food shopping for very specific items was like being on a wild goose hunt.  And, making everything ahead of time was a job in and of itself.  I had pulled out my rice cooker which I never thought I'd ever use again.

Already going into this cleanse a vegeterian, I felt this gave me an advantage.  I love everything I ate, the recipes were easy to follow, the hard part in the beginning was eliminating coffee.  The withdrawal from caffiene was horrible.  I felt really frazzled and had to deal with headaches for 3 days and it was suggested that we forgo the Tylenol too.   After I got through that part, the rest of my experience was great.  I learned that I have extraordinary resolve & persevered through Easter, ate miso soup and veggies, shots of alkalinize while everyone was drinking wine and chowing down on some holiday classics like homemade manicotti, bread and pizza di rustica. I was sleeping better, my skin was so clear and overall I felt a huge sense of accomplishment. It definitely wasn't easy. If you've been following my posts on Instagram and Facebook, then you knew how challenging it was to be subjected to overwhelmingly strong smells and sights of Margherita flatbread pizza, and shrimp with squid ink pasta. But I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed EVERY meal I had.

Now I walk away with some awesome recipes, I tried tempeh, jicama, experimented with new spices and seasonings and even rolled my own sushi. While I really missed my intense workout sessions, my cutting board got a serious workout and now has a 6 pack from all the 
cuts over the past 3 weeks.

To see glimpse of what some of my meals were you can visit my Ultimate Reset Pinterest board

Now for the results:  I'm happy to report that I lost a total of 12 pounds and 6 inches in just 21 days. The best part was that I have learned to nourish my body through proper nutrition, tune into conscious eating, and that I really don't need coffee to wake me up. I would definitely recommend this cleanse to anyone who wants to take their health to a new level. You may never know just how good you're supposed to feel. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about gaining energy & eating clean, then message me. A healthy outside starts on the inside.

Health is Wealth

A new month is here and some use it as a time for new beginnings.  Forget about what happened yesterday. Strive for consistency, not perfection.  Think of your health as your responsibility.  

Here are 8 simple tips on how to lose weight and tighten up.

1. Do cardio
2. No processed foods
3. No pop drinks
4. Exercise 20 minutes 3 times a week
5. Eat smaller portions
6. Drink lots of water
7. Don't add too much stuff to your coffee (stevia is good)
8. Set a goal and reach it

The difference between wanting and willing

A lot of times we are locked in our own thoughts which prevent us from moving towards our goal.  Sometimes the very thing that holds us back is the very thing that can set us free.  So then it boils down to how bad you want to push forward to reach your goal. 

Wanting and willing might sound like the same thing, yet they are worlds apart. Take, for example… …the thought, “I want to be slim.” This want can be so strong, so vibrant, and so desperate that it stays on our mind, always in your thoughts, always on the back burner. I know that being slim is something I truly want. But will wanting this make me slimmer? No, it won’t. Because no matter how strong the wanting is, the desire remains unfulfilled until a new ingredient is added.

What is that new ingredient?

It’s willingness. I might want to be slim, but until I’m willing to do what it takes to get there, nothing changes.

Willing and wanting are two different states of mind. One gets us to do things; the other keeps us thinking about doing them. One is active, and the other is passive.

Time for a reality check!

Nothing is impossible to the willing mind. However, if you find that the “want is strong but the will is weak,” don’t torment yourself.  It’s not a matter of IF you will break through; it’s simply a matter of WHEN.

Situations occur based on our thoughts and impressions about them.  Its how we see things; a.k.a. perspective.  Nothing is impossible if you are willing to go for it.  Part of going after what you want and getting it is because of what you're willing to do to make it happen.

But just know that nothing will change until you're ready to let go.

Life is an experiment.  The challenges we face help us realize what we're made of and gives us a chance to overcome these obstacles.  When you can get through, then you've experience growth.  Never stop learning, never stop changing and remember keep being you!

Become the BEST version of YOU

If your goal is to lean out, shed weight and improve your health, in my opinion, the key to success is to have a plan, know your numbers (calorie intake vs. how much you burn) and forgive yourself if you mess up.

I rely on two apps to guide me towards my goals:  myfitnesspal (connect with me at www.myfitnesspal.com/maria365) and my Fitbit. 

At the end of the day you can NEVER make a mistake with food.  Everything you do is an experiment.

So rather than saying, "Oh my gosh i really messed up today."  Say, "Wow, that was another food experiment that didn't work."

Through trial and error we will be able to find the foods that work for us, rather than staying on a fixed rigid diet.  Take your blinders off.  Our head will say one thing and our body will say another.  Find what works for you!

Tips for getting lean

If your goal is to lean out, then follow these tips:

• Eat at least 5 times per day
• Stop eating 3 hours before bed
• eat lots of lean protein and veggies (minimal starches)
• drink plenty of water
• avoid soda and similar junk
• enjoy healthy fats like nuts, seeds, olives and avocados
• when dining out, if you don't see it on the menu, ask to have it your way

Is it worth it to go organic?  Well it can't hurt, especially when it comes to soy and dairy.  Organic crops, including soy, cannot be genetically modified.  This means that by paying a little more for organic tempeh, you're avoiding those weird GMOs, not to mention pesticide residues.

With organic dairy, you're avoiding all the hormones and antibiotics they feed conventionally raised cows.  And a recent English study shows that not only is organic milk more nutritionally consistent, but contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

As for organic produce, science has yet to determine how much more nutritious it is, think about this, you're still avoiding all the chemical pesticides and herbicides they load on conventional fruits and veggies.

Eat well-balanced meals and remember that excess calories, even if they're from food that's fat free and high in protein, will turn to excess weight. No matter what the latest fad diet says, extra calories equal extra weight!

Stick with eating plans you can maintain indefinitely. Remember that no matter how hard you're working out, if you're consuming too many calories, you'll never see the muscles that lie beneath layers of fatty tissue.

Simple No Brainer Food Guide

May Challenge

Last month I tweeted:  No candy, no cake, no donuts, no muffins, no white bread, no chips, no fast food, no pastries, no ice cream. Do it for 21 days = #results

My April challenge was a success.  We focused on making positive changes, eating clean and fitting in exercise.  Being in a group setting and seeing posts from others who are doing it too makes you feel like you are not alone and empowers you to stay focused.

As we turn the page on the calendar to a brand new month, realize that real results require time, patience, your consistency and accountability. Making an effort to improve yourself everyday is the goal.

This month, our goal is to select food in its most whole, natural state, free of added unpleasantries. This is a lifestyle, not a short-term diet. Rule of thumb: eat 100% clean 80% of the time. That means 8 of 10 meals/snacks are "perfect." The 2 out of 10 can be your choice. Make an effort over the next 30 days and you will get results.

If you want to jump in and join my group then friend me on Facebook.com/maria365 and we'll take it from there!

Countdown to Summer is on!

I don't know anyone who is NOT looking forward to the Summer.  Lazy days, warmer temps, fresh seasonal fruits....BATHING SUITS!  

Maybe you're not quite beach-ready.  Don't worry.  There are less than 30 days till Memorial Day weekend.  Did you know you can accomplish alot in a short amount of time?I am doing a FREE clean eating challenge for 14 days starting May 6th and it's for those who need a jump start to clean eating. Its a private Facebook group with only 5 members. This is for those who are NOT part of my current group and who DO NOT currently have a coach or have done a challenge with me before. Message me I will give you the details. ***3 spots left*** Wednesday 5/1 is the last day today to join.

Get focused, be determined and commit to yourself.

4 weeks ago, I led a small group who consistently posted their nutrition (meal plans were given) and reported their workout of the day.  Rules were given, strict accountability was enforced and they got RESULTS.

I personally lost a whole size and fit back into my favorite jeans!  Just losing 7-8 pounds can make a huge difference to your mental, physical and emotional well being.

Connect with me on myfitnesspal/maria365 and check out my diary.  What made a difference for me was replacing one meal a day with Shakeology.

Message me at maria365@aol.com and put "Summer Challenge" in the subject line.

Remember, if you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done.

Spring ahead

So, Spring is almost here. Summer is coming. If you want to get in shape for the summer -- lets get moving!  Stop with all the "I'll do it tomorrow" excuses.  If what your doing now isn't working, its time to make a plan and commit yourself to it. No matter what, promise yourself to fulfill your commitment to your body. Even if you don't see results the first few days thats ok, because no one does.

Keep it going until you reach your goal. Get your mind into warrior mode and shape your body into the lean mean healthy machine you know it can be. Lets GO!

If you're looking to switch thigns up let me help you find a program/nutrition solution -- something you can stick with.  Best part is that I can hold you be accountable, help you stay motivated and focused on your way to achieving results.

My first challenge is a quick one.  Commit to 5 days of eating clean, working out and drinking water, posting in our private facebook group and you can start Monday and get hot by Saturday!  This particular one starts March 11 and finishes March 16 with measurements and posts.

Next I have a 30 day fitness/nutrition challenge with Les Mills Combat:  Check out this 2 minute video:

Let me help you keep it going until you reach your goal. Get your mind into warrior mode and shape your body into the lean mean healthy machine you know it can be. Lets GO!

To get started with any of these challenges, you must be connected with me so I can coach you.  Start by going to www.maria365.com and click on the JOIN tab, then select FREE membership.  Make sure my Coach ID 28705 is there.

Let me know if you have any questions!  I'm excited to be working with you on reaching your goals.

6-week slimdown Challenge

Getting and staying fit seems like a difficult task - but all it requires is a simple basic commitment to yourself. I invite you to join me in getting in the best shape of your life.  

Is your goal to fit into a smaller size in jeans?  Maybe get a 6 pack?  Anything is possible if you put your mind to it and stay accountable to yourself. 

For 42 days, I will become your workout buddy and motivational coach. Whether your goal is to lose weight, eat better or simply improve your overall health, I will help you meet your goal. The program runs from Monday, Jan. 7 to Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013. Must register by 1/2/13.

People helping and motivating each other achieve their health and fitness goals by sharing tips, accountability, and results.
 

You will get a ton of motivation, inspiration, and comfort in sharing struggles and successes; and, a new level of accountability to achieve your goals. 

Fitness + Nutrition + Support = Success

What's your reality right now?

Are you staying focused? Or, are you letting the pull of the holidays take your eye off the ball. Remember its you vs. yourself.  Look in the mirror!  What are you trying to accomplish?  We all have health & fitness goals.  Even if you really don't have those goals, subconsciously you must realize not doing ANYTHING regarding your health is still a choice.

I have made a few observations while managing 3 separate accountability groups (ongoing private Facebook group and a 5 day challenge).  What I've noticed is motivation and action must come from within.  Being part of a group definitely helps INFLUENCE your choices.

You are in charge of you!

An interesting thread started this morning in my ongoing group.  Yes we all get into a funk from time to time and with the pressure of the holidays upon us, days can be pretty overwhelming and stressful.  Having the courage to post about your struggles is not easy task, but makes you human and relatable to others.  I too am not perfect and manage to have days where I find obstacles beat even my best intentions.  What I've learned about myself is that consistency is the utmost important behavior you can exercise.  Without that, you cannot take advantage of momentum and make progress.  Its like stopping and starting a car, it takes you that much longer to arrive at your destination.

Remember, take one meal and one workout at a time.  Don't wait till January 1st to start.  Yes the Holidays are in full swing!  Keep yourself accountable by scheduling your workout NOW! Don't leave it for chance or it won't get done.  If you want it bad enough you will find a way to make it happen.

My next 5 day challenge will start January 7th.  Link to my like page and shoot me a private message for more details.  Slots are filling fast.

What a week!

I am beaming with excitement.  With in just a week so many amazing things finally came to fruition.  It all started last Saturday, September 29th when I met up with my sister at a local gym to take a free Muscle Hustle class.  I loved being in that atmosphere and knew there and then I wanted to be in that environment on a more regular basis.

I happen to love working out at home and pressing play but there's nothing like being in a facility where you get to connect with others who are looking to improve their health and fitness goals.  So back to the class.   I'm all about switching things up and challenging myself out of my comfort zone. 

So after class, I approached the trainer and asked if I could teach a PiYo class.  Most people haven't heard of PiYo unless you're aware of Beachbody and Chalene Johnson.  PiYo is a fusion of pilates and yoga.

PiYo™ is a unique class designed to build strength & gain flexibility. The moves fit perfectly together to form a class filled with intense choreography that’s fun, challenging and will make you sweat. It’s about energy, power, and rhythm. Think sculpted abdominals, increased overall core strength, and greater stability.

So after discussing this with the trainer, he wants me to start teaching the week of November 19th.  This is crazy cool because now I am forcing myself out of my comfort zone and NEED to practice!  I haven't done anything since I became certified the end of March of this year.

Then the next day on Sunday, September 30th, I decided to move forward with a life changing decision to go back to school and become a Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.  That's a story in itself but just know that this has always been a passion of mine to do the following: 

• help others make healthier food and lifestyle choices, and
• to make a positive difference not only on a global scale but within my own community

As you may or may not know, I run my own fitness business as a Beachbody Coach and the very next day on October 1st, I had 3 awesome and inspiring ladies join my team.  If you don't know what a Beachbody Coach does, its very simple.  Coaches help end the trend of obesity.  We provide solutions for others who need help with their health and fitness goals.  For me personally it helps me be accountable to myself.  When I first decided to become a coach, I was strictly in it for the discount.  I love all of the programs that Beachbody was pushing out and I wanted to have everything they were releasing.  Then came Shakeology and that is a no brainer.  I can't say enough about Shakeology.  You may be wondering if you need to be an expert.  No, you don’t need to be a fitness or weight-loss expert to become a Beachbody Coach. You just need to be ready to commit to changing your life and that of others around you!  Its called PASSION!

So with that said, what an amazing week.  I am so blessed to be doing what makes me happy!  Check out my Facebook like page.  I'm currently focusing on a Michi's Ladder Clean Eating Challenge.  You can message me for more details.

What is your WHY?

I had a conversation with someone today who was interested in doing INSANITY and she asked me how I stay accountable.  Over the years I will admit I have struggled with consistency.  Then it became crystal clear.  I wasn't going to get the results I wanted unless I focused on my WHY.

You see, when you have a strong “WHY” then you will stop at NOTHING to reach your goals.  If your why is strong enough, you’ll blow past all the excuses.  In fact, even when you face the most difficult of situations (whatever may be going on in your life) the person with a strong enough WHY will still make it happen!

So I ask you, what’s your WHY?  I’ve written and talked about this before, but I don’t think I could ever explore this topic enough.  If you want to motivate yourself to do something don’t think about all the logical reasons it’s good for you.  That’s not good enough!

If it’s losing weight and getting in shape, and your kids mean everything to you, then take out a photo of your kids and connect your WHY to them!  Now that’s powerful!  Hint:  that's mine!

See this image here below, when I look at this picture, I see the person I continually strive to become.  A fit, healthy woman who can stand up to any challenge.  I'm almost there!

My current 30 day program.  I used this 3 years ago and shed 25 pounds while on Weight Watchers

F O C U S

My workouts give me super powers. I can't help but think of these song lyrics, "You shoot me down but I'm a bomb, I am titanium."  I love that song by the way.  Yup, my commitment to working out helps me bullet-proof my mindset.  It helps me be happy, healthy and strong.  Plus I am grateful I can move. 

Last month I was a little lost in a sense that I was getting lax in my efforts to stay on track.  While I was still hitting my workouts, my nutrition was suffering.  I typically do eat clean but I fell back into some old habits.  Accountability is a big thing when you're trying to make changes stick.  It takes constant self talk to focus on the bigger picture.  What do you want? Why do you want it?  And, how will you get it?

I had held off going to Weight Watchers until the end of the month.  Deep down I knew I was over goal.  This was just the jolt I needed to force a change.  And while I was a bit disappointed that I was 3.8 lbs. over the top range of my Lifetime goal, it was just the kick in the butt I needed.

It forced me to get real and make the necessary changes which are critical for the success I want -- journaling, measuring, planning and attending meetings are all behaviors which yield results.

Although stress seems to be on the front burner in my life lately, I won't allow myself to mindlessly eat to numb the pain.  I am stronger than that.  Plus I am working too hard to get the results I expect.

Today I went back to Weight Watchers expecting a loss and I was rewarded at the scale.  My hard work paid off.  I lost  4.4 pounds in a week.  Honestly I have my own system and have come to realize what works for me.  But the one thing I needed was the accountability.

January 2012, mid-June 2012 and end of July 2012

What do you want?

Its that time again for me to purge my thoughts and blog about where I'm at.  I happened to notice a friend's post about focusing on inspirational words that manifest feelings of empowerment.  He said, "To truly inspire change we must inspire ourselves. No single entity or event or its outcome is going to be what really makes you happy or feel better."  That got me thinking about how happiness is an inside job.  Its starts with positive thinking and what is really important to us.  

Lately, I've been struggling with staying on track with my routine.  I have a small private Facebook group with awesome ladies who post their accountability on a daily basis.  Each one of us has been struggling with our own goals but the common theme is that we're not giving up.  Don't get discouraged, its not about living each day perfectly but being consistent in your choices.  

Everyone gets off track from time to time.  The key to success is to plow through excuses and keep focusing on your comeback.  

My comeback will consist of drinking Shakeology every day and starting a 30 day Les Mills PUMP Ultimate Cross Training Hybrid. 

My Excitment

Yes I'm excited, yesterday I finally received my Vegan Chocolate Shakeology.  I had a chance to try it 2 weeks ago at Summit.  I initially liked it but couldn't wait to get it home so I could try my favorite recipe.  My motivation to get through this mornings workout was knowing I was having it for breakfast.

When I first tore open the bag, it seemed to have been vacuum sealed and some of the "powder" seeped out.  Of course I had to try this magic "dust" and couldn't help but taste how pure the dark cocoa flavor was.  Then just reading the back of the bag made me realize how happy I am to incorporate this dietary supplement into my daily routine.  This new formula of Shakeology is a powerful super food.  You may wonder what does that even mean?  It was designed to give your body the perfect combo of nutrients to help give you energy, reduce cravings, maintain healthy body weight, and support your immune system. 


Here is my typical recipe!  1 scoop of Shakeology (this works with regular chocolate, Tropical Vegan and now the new Chocolate Vegan).  1 cup of frozen unsweetened strawberries, 1 cup of Almond/Coconut milk blend, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, your choice and 1 tsp. unsalted peanuts.

I love the texture that peanuts provide.  I am definitely into textures!  Yes I love my pasta al dente (although I hardly eat it anymore), and my oatmeal lumpy.  OK enough about me.  What I want YOU to know is that if you're looking to improve your health, you can do it, one shake at a time!
