Yo-yo dieting and lack of confidence kept Zina from becoming the healthy, fit woman she wanted to become. With 21 Day Fix and Portion-Control Containers, and other Beachbody On Demand programs, now she’s in control of her diet and fitness and feels “like a kid again!” Read about Zina’s journey here: Zina’s Life, Before“Before doing the Beachbody Challenge I felt tired, unmotivated, angry, heavy, hopeless, and lacked confidence. It was a new year, I had just had my second baby, and a move to a new town was in the near future. I hated the skin I was in and as much as I wanted to lose the weight, I wasn’t confident enough to step inside a gym. I also didn’t have my nutrition under control. I was yo-yo dieting; eating healthy one day and back to eating junk the next. I needed help. Not having the proper tools and resources I needed made me even more discouraged and sent me spiraling into an emotional-eating cycle. My family definitely inspired me to begin my transformation journey. My oldest daughter was four years old at the time and my second was a newborn. I had started and stopped so many times on my health and fitness journey that I was just tired of quitting. I wanted my children to see me have a healthy relationship with food and taking care of my body. I wanted to feel strong and always be able to run around and play with my children without being tired or winded. I was also inspired by seeing so many great results from people who were just like me! Seeing moms out there getting muscles and defining their bodies really inspired me to become the best version of me.” Zina’s Transformation†“I started with 21 Day Fix. I knew it would be the perfect program that I could stick with after not working out for so long. I like that it was only 30 minutes a day, for 21 days. Something I knew would be challenging, but achievable. I was also excited about the color-coded Portion-Control Containers to help keep my nutrition in check. It was really helpful to portion out my foods and control how much I was eating. They helped me stay focused on my nutritional goals for the day. After completing 21 Day Fix, I lost 13 pounds and was motivated to start my next program — 80 Day Obsession. What I liked about this program was that Autumn was always so motivating and encouraging each day. I loved the way the workouts were paced and that they incorporated bands, sliders, and weights. 80 Day Obsession made me feel so empowered and strong not only physically, but mentally, too. LIIFT4 was my third program. I really enjoyed the 4 days on/3 days off schedule and how quick the workouts were. I loved training specific body parts each day and doing core each workout. 80 Day Obsession and LIIFT4 are my favorite fitness programs so far. They both challenged me in different ways that I love. The best thing about Beachbody On Demand is the variety it has to offer: Not only does it have workout programs, but it also offers the FIXATE cookbook and other nutritional resources. I also love that even if your Wi-Fi is down, you can simply download the workouts beforehand and still stream them.” Zina’s Life, After“It was so much more than just a weight loss transformation; it was a mental transformation as well. These programs taught me patience, drive, and to never give up on myself. Beachbody was my hope through my struggle. I feel unstoppable! Like I can accomplish anything I put my mind to, not only with my health and fitness but in life. My self-confidence has definitely changed. I feel more outgoing, secure with my self, and finally comfortable in my own skin. To some, it may seem very little, but doing things like running with my children or being able to play with them means so much to me. Before, I would run out of breath or feel tired right away. Now I feel like a kid again because I can keep up! My proudest achievement was getting through each program I started. I gave it my all each time and I’ve finally found the balance I’ve been looking for in my health and fitness journey. My waist has shrunk so much and my mommy pudge (stomach) is almost non-existent!”

Grab your veggies and get dipping with this healthy and nutritious dip recipe made from just 5 simple ingredients. A few weeks ago C and I went camping a few hours outside San Francisco to escape the city and soak up a little Northern California sunshine. We got lucky with perfect weather and a fantastic campsite in a state park just outside Guerneville, California, a town that was devastated earlier this year when the Russian River rose to 49 feet and flooded many of the homes. C was out there right after the flooding to help our friends clean out their flooded basement. The experience left a deep impact on both of us as we witnessed firsthand the effects of climate change. As we sat atop the rolling hills, feet and hands in the grass we talked about how primal it feels to just sit outside in nature and soak up its gifts. Bodhi was running around us sniffing every blade of grass while bees fed on their first food of the season, dandelions. The same dandelions millions attempt to destroy using toxic herbicides sprayed on their fields and yards. We thought about the number of times throughout our lives we had sat in the grass of less remote areas and been involuntarily exposed to these same chemicals, simply because people prefer a weedless yard. It all struck us as very strange. April is Earth Month though to be fair, every month should be earth month given it’s the one and only planet we’ve got. Between rising sea levels, the devastating long-term effects of glyphosate (on our soil and our bodies) and a massive drop in bee populations, our planet is seeing the effects of climate change on a massive and global scale. So what do we do about it? In the words of Anne Marie Bonneau, “We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” The same applies to recycling, organics, composting and a million other things we can do to protect our planet. As you guys know, I’ve been working with Stonyfield Organic this past year to help spread this message. Whether it’s choosing organic dairy, recycling or reusing your containers or spreading the message of organic playing fields through the StonyFIELDS initiative it’s truly been an honor to work alongside them to help spread the word. Also their yogurt is the best out there, so that helps ? But today let’s celebrate the abundance of this beautiful planet and all the fruits and veggies it produces. Why not encourage you to eat a few more veggies with this Easy Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Dip. It’s the perfect appetizer for your next dinner party or after school/work snacking. The recipe is so simple you’ll wonder why you’ve never made tzatziki before. Here’s what you need… HOW TO MAKE GREEK YOGURT TZATZIKI:You’ll need:

I felt like everything in my life was at an all-time low. I was depressed. My career was plummeting fast. I was in an abusive relationship which didn’t help with my self-esteem. As far as my health was concerned, it seemed like no matter how long or hard I exercised I couldn’t keep my weight in a healthy range. My doctor told me I was morbidly obese. I felt like I was doomed to be stuck in an unhealthy body. Thank God there was a spark of hope left in me that I could be better. Then I got cast in YouV2. I felt so encouraged being surrounded by beautiful overweight women who wanted more out of life. They, too, weren’t particularly happy being obese, but they weren’t going to let that stop them! I loved knowing I wasn’t alone in this struggle. My Team Beachbody Coach introduced to me to my first Challenge Group and Shakeology — I like to call it #GodJuice!” Darlene’s Transformation†“For me, 2B Mindset is LIFE! I’m in control of what I eat and drink. I was an emotional eater and 2B Mindset and personal development helped me get to the root of the reasons why — I was molested as a child, raped in high school, date raped as an adult, a domestic-violence survivor, and diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). On Beachbody On Demand, the Super Trainers seem as if they are literally in the room with you and they know how you feel when you feel it. They know when you feel like you’re going to give up, when the burn is seriously out of control, and when you just need some words of encouragement. Somehow, the Super Trainers say just the right things at just the right time! SHIFT SHOP was no joke. It challenged me and used moves I would never dream of attempting to do! I admired Chris’s drive. I also related to his journey, being a victim of sexual abuse myself. His story inspired me to keep pushing for it no matter what. It also helped me discover that my abs do exist! I figured If I made it through SHIFT SHOP, it was very possible I could push myself to do 80 Day Obsession. I had to modify all the way to the end but I finished it! I absolutely love CIZE with Shaun T! It was so much FUN even when I looked like a hot mess trying to get the moves down! I used to be discouraged at the gym. I knew people and staff would watch me work out and I felt self-conscious about it. I remember leaving a workout class early because I was ashamed that I had to modify the moves. I love the BOD modifiers. It’s OK to modify and there NO shame in it! I tell people all the time: These are modified results and I’m damn proud of it!” Darlene’s Life, After“I can wear just about anything and make it look good! (LOL, obviously!) Yes, I have loose skin, stretch marks, lumps, and bumps but I’m finally okay with it. My body feels, looks, and is stronger and more beautiful inside and outside now and is still changing for the better. I carry myself so differently now. Almost like I did when I was a child before I had a real care in the world. I feel good and in tune with my body. I had no idea how getting my health in check would influence all other aspects of my life. Sometimes I’m still dumbfounded on how that all works but it most surely does. My self-esteem improved and I smile authentically now. Not the fake smile you give so people won’t know your suffering inside — that used to be me. Now I’m helping other women and even some men who have or can relate to my story get their life back through health and wellness. I now know my purpose and it feels great!”

The post 10 Podcasts for Female Business Owners appeared first on The Healthy Maven. from https://www.thehealthymaven.com/10-podcasts-for-female-business-owners/ 100 episodes! I’ll be honest, when I set out to create That’s So Maven I wasn’t thinking beyond the first 10 episodes, let alone 100 but 100 intros + outros, 93 guests, 7 solo episodes and countless incredible discussions later, we’ve done it! That’s so maven has officially entered triple digits. I’ve known for a while now what I wanted to discuss on episode 100. This past year has been nothing short of transformational. Yoga teacher training, getting married, creating Camp Wellness have all been monumental, but the mindset shift that’s taken place has changed me deeply as a person. For lack of a better description, I’ve had a spiritual awakening and that’s what I’ll be discussing today. For a long time (more than I’d like to admit) I judged people who had experiences like these. The people who suddenly became so enlightened and wielded their crystals around like a gift from the universe. I am certainly not “enlightened” and while I live my crystals as one of the many tools I use to support my mental, emotional and spiritual health, I don’t think they’re the answer to everything. BUT I have woken up to a new perspective on seeing the world and truly for the first time in my life am letting go of the reigns and putting more trust in the possibility of the universe to deliver exactly what I want and need. Yes I just typed that. So like I said, I judged these types of people…hard. And now I am one of those people. So obviously something has shifted and on today’s episode – episode 100 no less!- I’m chatting about my spiritual awakening and what’s really been going on in my life this past year. From yoga, to journaling, to crystals + spirits, a lot has happened so come along as I share the ride. The post Episode #100: Solo Episode – My Spiritual Awakening + What’s Really Been Going On In My Life appeared first on The Healthy Maven. from https://www.thehealthymaven.com/episode-100/ The words on this image are not groundbreaking - Thomas Edison knew what was up. He was smart. Be like Edison. Here s an idea! How about we stop throwing pills at patients when they come in for problems? Doctors must take the time to educate patients, period! No pill will fix a poor lifestyle choice. It takes so much effort to effectively remove the misinformation that is out there. When searching for a clinic near me on your phone, you ll find Source of Health, give us a call and schedule a free consultation with Dr. Sorr. Our society has given up the power to think independently and now rely on major corporations and government programs to dictate the way things are. Our quick fix mentality has created an unhealthy outcome. To fix the problem, the current definition of doctor is changing. Giant healthcare groups have been so focused on the numbers that they have lost the human connection. They now have realized it and are trying their best to make amends without changing the basic principles of medical care. Let s all move to the future!
