Shakeology and Weight Watchers

As some of you know, my weight loss journey started almost 4 years ago with weight watchers! With weight watchers, I lost 70 pounds in about 9 months! My goal after that was to maintain my weight loss. In the past, I had lost weight and then gained it back. I hit a serious plateau while I was training for my second triathlon a year after I had lost lose 70 pounds. My fear of gaining weight back was crazy and when I wasn't getting the results I wanted, I needed to make a change. Weight watchers had taught me portion control and how to eat in moderation!

You know how you see those infomercials on tv about p90x and insanity, etc. well one night, I was channel checking and I saw both infomercials. It caught my attention with the transformation stories and pictures. Since I felt like I was in good shape, I did my research about each program! Don't get me wrong, I was scared to do a crazy hard workout at home. I was introduced to something called shakeology. For those of you who don't know, shakeology is a healthy meal replacement that has super foods, vitamins, and so much more! It has become a staple in my life. I have never missed a day of drinking shakeology.

When I first started drinking shakeology, I was still doing weight watchers, I was following the point system which was so amazing! Like I said before, it taught me everything in moderation, portion control, and ultimately a healthier lifestyle....the best part about it is shakeology is only 3 points for the healthiest meal that you could have. That 3 points for a scoop of shakeology (1 meal). You can mix it with anything you want. The options are endless! You could add water or almond milk & water, orange juice and water or you could blend in frozen fruit, and so many more things. You can keep it s low point meal but it's truly the healthiest meal you could feed yourself.

Chocolate  = 3 points
Greenberry = 3 points
Tropical Strawberry = 3 points
Chocolate Vegan = 4 points
Vanilla = 3 points

Strawberry= 3 pounts

Looking back, on my own weight loss journey, I really wish I could go back in time and could have learned about shakeology and started drinking it from the beginning! I think it would have been such a significant change in my overall health and well-being. I mean 3 points for the healthiest meal of the day...sign me up!!

I wanted to give you a few examples of recipes and how many points you could make your shake:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Shakeology
1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology (3 points)
8 oz. unsweetened almond milk (1 point)
2 tbsp. PB2 (1 point)
1 medium banana
6 ice cubes
Blend together until smooth.
Total Points Plus value……….5


Pineapple Mango Shakeology
1 scoop Vanilla Shakeology (3 points)
8 oz. unsweetened almond milk (1 point)
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 cup mango
6 ice cubes
Blend together till smooth.
Total Points Plus value………4"
Have you ever wondered about shakeology? Is it something that you may have wanted to try but just aren't sure?? Have you been questioning how shakeology can be incorporated in with your weight watchers points program.

How Weight Watchers Saved My Life

Most of you may not know my story and how I came to become where I am today. So today, I want to share a more personal side of my journey. It all started January 24, 1990....haha just kidding, I won't go that far back to the date of my entrance into this amazing world. but I will go back almost 4 years ago or a little beyond that. The date was May 31, 2011. It had been a really tough year. I had been struggling through nursing school. I had recently lost my cousin who was like an older brother to me. I was trying to accept the fact that he had been taken way too soon. I had always been overweight and struggle with staying in shape. In high school, my senior year, I had lost about 30 pounds right before college doing weight watchers. Going into college, I stopped following weight watchers. I was young, stupid, and thought that I was invisible and couldn't gain weight again. Stupid I KNOW! but you live and you learn! So the freshman 15 turned into the freshman I DONT KNOW (because I never stepped on the scale). I would go to the gym when I could and thought I was doing great. But then you throw in the cafeteria food which was all you can eat two or three times a day, excessive frat parties where drinking beer in excess was always happening thursday, friday, and saturday nights. So this whole cycle happened for my entire freshman year of college. Fast forward two years to my junior year where I had a horrible year. Cousin passed away, nursing school became really hard with clinicals and managing lectures and everything, and really just being totally unhappy with myself.


The entire month of May 2011, I knew I needed a change. I was unhappy, I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror, I hated the way I looked and felt. So on June 1, 2011, I signed up for weight watchers, like I had said before, it had helped me lose weight before I went to college, so I figured I could do it again. this time I knew it would be a lot harder and I knew I was doing it for the right reasons. I set a high goal. I wanted to lose 50 pounds. June 1st, I started at 220 pounds. When I went on the scale and I saw that high number, I cried. I had never been that heavy. I did not want that number to define me. I was determined. Went to the gym 6 days a week, checked in daily and tracked my points. I worked my butt off day in and day out. No excuses. Even when I did not want to, I used motivation, I used my thoughts of what other people thought about me.

I also want to let you in on a little baby secret of mine. I told absolutely NO ONE what I was doing. I was determined to prove myself wrong and change that 220 into a different number. I did not tell my family, my close friends. I kept it in secret..you know why...because I was ashamed. I was ashamed I let myself get to 220. I was ashamed that I couldn't control what I had done to myself. While that was hard to swallow and hard to handle, being ashamed only made me work that much harder. Within the first month, my family started to notice, they would ask me if I was on a diet or something because something had changed. I started meal planning and prepping, following the weight watchers point system.


When the weight started to drastically come off, and people would ask me what I was doing, I felt like everyone was out to judge me (this was my own insecurities) and I would just say oh working out and eating healthy. To me it was not about a diet, it was about a lifestyle change. Weight Watchers changed my life and they saved me! If I did not start weight watchers on June 1, 2011, I do not know where I would be today! So many amazing things have happened to me as a result of my weight loss. THANK YOU WEIGHT WATCHERS FOR SAVING MY LIFE!

By December 2011, I had lost the 50 pounds that was my goal. I was so proud of myself. I felt amazing, I was happy, I loved the person that I became. I was at a cross roads. Thoughts of anxiety went through my head about what should I do next? How will I maintain my weight loss? What is my next goal?

1st Triathlon 2012
Well now that I hit the 50 pounds down mark, I had to set a new goal. My goal going into 2012, was to maintain my weight loss. In the past, as you know, I had lost weight with weight watchers and then gained it back. So my biggest fear was gaining that 50 pounds back, I thought long and hard about what I wanted to accomplish next. I always wanted to compete in a triathlon, so why not sign up for one. I signed up for the Danskin Women's Triathlon in Sept 2012 in Sandy Hook, NJ. I had trained for months leading up the the tri and I have to say, It was one of the most amazing experiences ever. While I was training, I lost another 20 pounds while following weight watchers. I felt like I was in the best shape ever. I finished the race better than I ever thought, if I can remember correctly I finished 7th overall for my age group. Something like that. This just fueled me more to want to continue to stay in shape, all by continuing to follow the weight watchers point system.

Weight Watchers taught me how to portion size, meal plan and prep, follow a routine of staying healthy. Above all, it taught me about how to live a healthier lifestyle. It wasn't a diet or a quick fix, its a way of life.

 DC Half Marathon 2014
Over the next year, I would continue to workout 6 days a week, including cycling, and running. I ended up getting into running with my dad and we started to do runs. who would have thought, this would have lead me to run the Washington DC Nike Women's Half Marathon in April 2014. This was a huge accomplishment and was taken off the bucket list.

Towards the end of 2012 and into 2013, I was training for my second triathlon in May of 2013, this one was in Red Bank, NJ. As a competitor, I wanted to be better than I had done before. I was strong in the swim and bike but when I got to the run part, I literally thought I was going to die. I felt like the wheels rolled off and I couldn't gain momentum. I wanted to give up but I did not. I think it was a sign of God that I maybe was not following through with weight watchers and I was going through the motions and I needed a change.

2nd Triathlon 2013
Sometimes you have to move on and challenge yourself to something new to overcome a plateau. I had posted my transformation picture in april of 2013 and I ended up getting alot of responses and comments about how I did it and people wanted my help. It literally took me like a week to post the picture and even that I almost did not post it. People wanted my help? I thought. I had that self doubt and self negative image of myself but weight watchers allowed me to help others and believe in them, when they didn't believe in themselves.

In June of 2013, I became a beachbody coach, only because I wanted the discount on shakeology and I wanted to do p90x. For those of you who do not know, shakeology is a healthy meal replacement you drink daily that has vitamins, super foods, and amazing nutrients in it. It has been a staple in my life over the last almost two years. I wanted to challenge myself to push my body to the limits and let me just say, I have truly done that. I have completed programs such as P90X, T25, 21 Day Fix, PIYO, and I am currently doing Insanity Max 30. I never thought in a million years that I the girl who was 220 pounds would ever be doing programs like insanity and p90x. but you know what I have completed them.



No matter what, you need to lead a balanced life that is filled with happiness, health, wellness, and above all, a life that you want. I know the struggle of being unhappy with what you see in the mirror and not loving who you are but by doing weight watchers and losing 70 pounds, my life was saved. I have no idea where I would be if I had not decided that I was sick and tired of where I was in my life and I needed a change.

Helping others in their own health and fitness journeys has given me a phenomenal opportunity to be a support system for others in their own health and fitness journeys. the journey is not easy but when you have someone there to support you and help you, it makes it a little easier.

We have an accountability group starting on monday January 26th! It is a great way to achieve all your health and fitness goals. I would love to help you out in your own health and fitness journey!

Week 1: Insanity Max 30 Progress Update

I can not believe that week 1 of Insanity Max 30 is officially over. This program seriously came at the right time in my life. I hit this plateau and really was just out of the game. I was eating healthy but enjoying a little bit too much ice cream, chips and more. I knew what I needed to do and you know what starting this week off with a clean slate, positive mind, and an accountability group that was holding me to my goals.



Going into this week, I was scared! I cannot tell a lie! I wasn't sure what to expect from Shaun T. So Monday morning, I got up at 5am, chugged my E&E, dusted off and laced up my sneakers and pushed play. I thought I was going to die day 1. I was so out of breath, I felt so out of shape, but I pushed on.  I finished day 1 and could barely walk! I mean no joke my calves were on fire! as the day went on, it got progressively worse. As the days went on up until thursday, I was walking like a baby giraffe. someone at work asked at one point, are you okay, you are walking funny! I couldn't help but laugh and thank Shaun T for that! But by day 4, I was feeling better. My legs had come back around and I felt like I was finally feeling like myself again. Day 5's workout Friday Fight Round 1....was a mental and a physical fight! this program really knows how to push you in ways that you never thought!



CONFESSION TIME: I took my before pictures, measurements, and weight...and i have to say that I was less than satisfied with where I was. normally after week 1, I would have stepped on the scale but this time for Insanity Max 30, I am not going to get on the scale, no matter what, until day 30. The scale doesn't define me and i have to say that I get down when I don't see a change. Totally changing things up and I am totally happy about that! So many people I know are doing and one can totally get caught up in the "time" and comparing yourself to someone else. another thing that I am focusing on is I am "looking in the mirror...that's my competition." I am trying to be better everyday than the person I was the day before! so far, its working!



You might be sitting here reading this thinking, alright Nicole, what does it mean to MAX OUT? HERE IT IS...maxing out means that it is the first time in the workout that you stop or fail. I mean you push yourself for as long and as hard as you within your abilities. You try to beat your previous time! 

Its simple...get your mind and body ready to dig deep...push play on the workout dvd...challenge yourself to do the best that you can...when you feel like you cant go anymore and basically ready to die...stop and write down...take a quick breather and get right back at it!  You don't just stop once you maxed out, catch your breath and you get right back at it! the workout is 30 minutes! you can totally do this!




Everyday I got stronger, Everyday I pushed play and ate according to my meal plan was one step closer to my goals. Day by Day Snap Shots of my Max Out Times: 






Nutrition is 80% of the battle. so this week, I was focused on what I was eating. I wanted to be extremely focused and I have to say it really paid off! I woke up every morning feeling better than the day before! I woke up less bloated, more energized and ready to take on the new day. I even had a major cheat meal and when I say MAJOR I mean MAJOR! My family came to visit me and we went to an amazing restaurant. I indulged in a drink, lobster mac and cheese, I had filet mignon, and even had desert flourless chocolate espresso cake. I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied. It was an absolutely guilt free cheat meal! because I was so focused and so on point this week, I allowed myself to splurge! Nutrition is more of a battle than the workouts! you can't out exercise a bad diet! Take a peak at my meal plan from week 1. 




My goals for week 2 (especially since its christmas and there is going to be many temptations)
1. drink 1 gallon or more of water a day
2. early morning workouts
3. follow my meal plan
4. moderation is key for christmas eve and christmas day
5. focus on morning meditation/prayer
6. daily positive affirmations

Here's to week 2 and making this week even better than last week. for those of you that celebrate...Merry Christmas! May you have a beautiful holiday with the ones that you love. Hope Santa is good to you! :) Remember: MODERATION is key!


Have a Happy & Healthy Day

PIYO Results



PIYO has absolutely changed my life! I was first introduced to this in June in Las Vegas when I was at the Beachbody Coach Summit. The first day I was in Vegas, I had the opportunity to workout with Chalene Johnson the fitness instructor and creator of PIYO, Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam, etc. and let me just say, I knew this program would be golden for me. I had just finished training for a half marathon and I had been working really hard doing T25, 21 Day Fix, and P90x. I truly didn't realize how tight my body was. But after doing the workout with Chalene and then hearing her speak at one of the general sessions, I knew that I need to do PIYO! I am going to describe what PIYO is and then tell you my amazing results that I worked hard for and achieved.

Chalene discussing PIYO
Morning Workout with Chalene in Vegas 

What is PIYO?
PIYO is a low-impact, high-intensity body-transforming program that uses the most effective pilates and yoga inspired moves to sculpt long, lean muscles and burn fat. PIYO is for everyone. 


PIYO WOD in Vegas with My Accountability
Partner & Good Friend Fawn!

My PIYO JOURNEY:
I am not going to lie day one I was unsure of what to expect with this new program. While doing PIYO, I drank Shakeology daily. As well as drank energy and endurance as a pre-workout and results and recovery as a post-workout drink. The first two weeks were very tough, I wasn't strong, I felt uncoordinated, I felt like I wasn't doing it right but when I let go of my fears and apprehensions, that is when I truly began to thrive. By week three, I felt like my core strength and my flexibility increase tremendously. After week 4, I had to do my measurements and I was surprisingly happy with my findings. I had lost 6.5 inches and 9 pounds. and my flexibility was much better. 


The next month went by so fast. I learned more about the struggles of as I was getting stronger, the movements and some of the poses were extremely difficult. I learned to challenge myself to push beyond my limits. It might not have been easy but it was so worth it. I followed the PIYO meal plan but honestly, I should have done a better job with it because I think I would have seen better results, not that I am saying that I haven't seen great results. 


As I weighed in and took my measurements at the end of 60 days, I lost 6 pounds and 8.5 inches off my body. I leaned out and felt better about myself. I may have gained 3 pounds in the second month of PIYO but I do not believe that the scale should define us and who we are. I had some major non-scale victories. When I looked in the mirror, I loved what I saw, my scrubs fit better. For me, the scale does not and will not define me. I am totally fine with gaining 3 pounds because I gained 3 pounds of muscle.

60 Day PIYO Results
I truly believe that PIYO is for everyone and everyone needs PIYO. Your body craves this and can benefit from this. If you want to see amazing results like I did, join my upcoming accountability group. It is a great way to achieve all your health and fitness goals. Why not you? Why can't you get into the best shape of your life by doing a low impact and high intensity program? YOU CAN THANK ME LATER! 


What is Next for Me?
I plan on completing a second round of PIYO. This time I am going to do the PIYO Strength program and I am going to be very strict in my meal planning and prepping and following along with the PIYO meal plan. I am going to do another round of PIYO and then once Tony Horton's new fitness program called p90 comes out, I will be doing that.

Shakeology Shamrock Shake!

St. Patrick's Day is upon us! Now for those of you who are Irish like myself, St. Patty's Day is a celelebration! For as long as I can remember, growing up we would always have "green" treats. We would have green eggs in the morning for breakfast, we would color green our homemade Rice Krispy Treats and we would always have some form of green sugar cookies at school. If it was green, we would have it!

So while these "treats" are what I used to associate with St. Patrick's Day, now I have found another replacement for my cravings. At first I thought this who Shakeology Shamrock Shake was a load of crap! I thought there was no way that shakeology could taste like a milkshake. Well let me tell you, I was wrong! It totally met all of my expectations and blew my thoughts out of the water.

So now I can not only have a Shamrock Shake but I can have 70+ superfood ingredients, which is the equivalent to 6 slads in one meal, no feeling of bloated, not killing my diet, and I am still able to lose weight and, have energy! This "treat" is by far the healthiest that I have had in years!


We all know McDonald's Shamrock Shake well take a look at this comparison above! Seeing this definitely makes me reconsider what I am putting in my body! 


Ingredients: 

  • 8 oz. Skim, Rice, Almond or Soy Milk
  • 4 oz. ice and water
  • splash of peppermint extract or some mint water
  • 1 tsp all natural pb
  • 2 tbsp vanilla sugar free instant pudding mix
  • 1 packet of Greenberry Shakeology
  • Blend and Enjoy



Join me on March 17, 2014 for a 30 day Shamrock Shakeology Shake off challenge health and fitness support group. 30 day money back guarantee!

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Hope you have a Happy, Healthy, and Safe Day!

P90X3


Well, the time has come that P90X3 is coming out, and this P90X grad is starting to get excited! P90X was an amazing program that gave me some amazing results. But truly the workouts were quite long. An hour and thirty minutes for yoga? ARE YOU FORREAL TONY? lol but I am being honest and I can tell you that I did those 1.5hr Yoga workouts! Now after doing Shaun T's Focus T25 program and it being only 25 mins, it is truly hard to workout more than that amount of time! I do have to say, I miss the muscle building and the leanness that I got when I was doing P90X. I cannot wait to see the great results that I am going to see in 30 mins a day!




Meet P90X3



So what's the scoop??!?

Well for starters, YOU CAN NO LONGER USE THE EXCUSE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO WORKOUT! 30 minutes a day 6 days a week is totally doable and everyone can find just 30 minutes in their day to get this great workout in! Make those 30 minutes like a meeting with your boss (Tony Horton)




Muscle acceleration explained: Many P90X fans were hooked on the science of muscle confusion - which introduce a variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happening within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton - approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercise and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes

The base kit includes 16 workouts so you are never going to get bored. Everything from cardio to strength, pilates, yoga, and MMX  there is something for everyone! 

The ideal P90X3-er: it may seem lofty to program but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone. Everyone searching for tighter abs and leaner muscles, that is. But fitness novices and experts need not be afraid by P90X3's come-one-come-all invitation. You don't have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get some killer results. For the beginner, the variety of workouts in P90x3 is the perfect place to discover their fitness style. If the move can be modified there is a cast member that shows you how to do the modification. But don't expect to be an expert on day one. (YES, fitness veterans will still be challenged!!) As Tony says, "You don't get off easy, you just get to finish faster!"

It doesn't stop there: and of course, there are some bells and whistles too good to ignore! First off, the coach exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased through me as your coach any time from Dec 10th - 31st (including challenge packs), you will receive an exclusive P90X3 baseball cap What better way to spread the word about this revolutionary program?

And last but not least, we have the app: YES, now for the first time the P90X app is available on Android and iOS (will be available 12/10 on Android). The app includes the P90X guided workouts, tools to track your reps, weights, and progress. Launching soon, is the P90X3 addition - which brings you workout specific tracking modules, schedyling options, and the motivation you need to power through the 90 days. P90X3 scheduling and tracking will be available on the app for android on 12/10 and is coming soon for iPhone. Check out the app and get ready to bring it!

SNEAK PEAK into the P90X3 FUN


I had the opportunity to participate in a sneak peak exclusive workout of P90X3 while I was at the Dream Team Coach Retreat in Maryland. We had a blast. Check out some pics and videos from the P90x3 Workout!




Dream Team Retreat
P90X3 Fun






So when can you get it?

You can score your very own P90X3 on December 10th. P90X3 will be released on my site in which you have a couple of options. There will be an introductory price of $180 vs. $205 for the challenge pack which includes the 90 day workout, the nutrition guide, program manual, schedule of workouts, shakeolohy, free 30 day trial of the club membership, free shipping, and a discounted price when you get the package. 

or your second option is to purchase the program alone. The is $119.00 and the equipment need are weights, bands, and an optional pull up bar that you can use a band with an over the door attachment if you don't have one! 

If you would like to be notified when you can officially purchase the workout please go to my site and create a FREE account and you will receive an email from me the minute that it's released! You won't want to wait, this is going to go fast!

***Personally, I always recommend the CHALLENGE PACK. This is because Shakeology provides you with the nutrients your body needs. Exercise alone is not enough, diet is actually 80% of our results! You will also be able to join my test group with this package, which will include: meal planning, health and fitness tips, inside information on how to lose weight and keep it off, as well as clean eating information and recipes!! ***
