Why I left Beachbody

 

Yes, the rumors are true. I left. Yes I was a 2x Elite 1x Premiere Coach that earned 6 figures. Yes it was hard to leave, but I had to. Let me explain:

You see I am getting older, and so is my body. The shake I used to love stopped working and was causing issues in my body. They reformulated and added some preservatives my body could not handle. Then shortages started happening and they could not source everything that they used to. Key ingredients I needed, were no longer in there. I was a literal hot mess with hormones raging, mood swings, hot flashes, sleep issues, lack of sex drive, not a single bit of motivation to socialize. I was a completely different person. I did not like myself and I needed help fast. 

I started to feel like imposter syndrome. Because Shakeology wasn't working anymore. I kept begging for more help with menopause, gut health, joint pain, aging, vitamin deficiences etc...NADA. So I searched high and low and loved what I found. BUT... I wasn't allowed to share with you or anyone if I remained a coach. I refused to pretend, and therefore my account was terminated. It was a blessing though... because now I am helping people LIKE ME that NEED help!

The first thing that helped me SO much is a menopause supplement that's part of meology. They customize your regime based on your answers...You take a little health assessment and they can even hook up to your DNA test if you want (you don't have to share that) and they mix a supplement prescription that caters to YOUR body. And it's clean. Just plants backed by science You can pick and choose what you want as part of your plan. If you want to check it out, and maybe take the health assessment here is the link: CLICK HERE or reach out to me. In addition to the menopause supplement I changed over my energize to their energy boost that gives me SUSTAINED energy, and added triple defense immunity, I switched my collagen to theirs (it is far superior), I switched my shakes too. Feels so good to finally be ALIGNED and to have the certified organic, non-gmo, vegan, gluten free, dairy free label! My mood is so much better, and my hot flashes haven't happened in over a month now. My sex drive is back, I have much more energy, and am verbal again.

If you are feeling like I was, please don't hesitate to reach out. Sometimes things work... until they don't. Let's get you feeling better! 

Stop wasting your money

Yep...this was my counter just 4 years ago. 😱 4 years ago I was buying every kind of supplement I could find to try to stay alkaline and keep my cancer from growing. 

If I could turn back time I would have saved thousands of dollars and countless tears and pain if I would have found the solution I have now...just a little earlier. So this is my battle cry every day. To help save others from going down the rabbit hole of subpar products that never even make it through the digestion process. Stay away from the costco vitamins, proteins, supplements...it may look cheaper, but it is just money down the toilet. I have what you need in ONE item.

When you know better, you do better. I also think if you know better it's your duty to share. Countless hours of nutrition education led me to this. I can help you if you are ready! Drop me an email at momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com and let's change your life too! 

Why it is important to detox before you start an exercise program

This is the last weight you will see me hold until after Christmas, because I will be detoxing starting on Sunday! The doctor said "NO EXERCISE" because of my pneumonia so I am SO STOKED I have this solution to help me get my body back to a fresh start and ready for my next program.

When you #detox it is already giving your body a serious internal workout, It’s important to allow my nervous system to remain in a relaxed state, and to refrain from asking my body to repair muscle tissue at the same time it’s cleansing and releasing toxins.

This pneumonia fiasco has really rocked my world so I am listening and I am putting down my weights and focusing on restoring, reclaiming and renewing my health.

I WILL be doing breathing exercises to further detox, energize my cells, relax, and remain focused.

Stretching in the form of yoga to allow myself to feel more open, alive, and in touch with mybody.

Walking twice a day to help with more circulation that will help speed up the release of toxins that are held in my body.

Last time I did this detox I lost 12 pounds and after these antibiotics I sure would like to feel less plump... so bring it on!!!

If you are wanting to start a health and fitness routine, I HIGHLY suggest getting out all the toxins first. Toxins are held in our fat cells, so that is why SO MANY people get colds and sickness after they start. Do yourself a favor and remove the toxins FIRST!

If you are wanting to do a  DETOX  hit me up! 

I help people get healthy naturally. Being a cancer survivor I learned how necessary it is to detox after indulging. I have got your back! My passion is to help others stay cancer free. I have searched the world high and low and have found the BEST highest QUALITY natural products to help get the gunk out naturally, They are SAFE, healthy and will IMPROVE your health vs. hurting it with starvation or breaking down your digestive system which is what most detoxes do. So EMAIL ME and let's get started! 

non-toxic, eco-friendly mattresses and pillows that are better for your health and the planet.

And I'm off once again! 🛫
Anyone else out their travel with their pillow?

I do!!! No offense but I want my clean #detox pillow not one everyone else uses. I am conscious of clean eating, clean cosmetics and paraben-free products, but since we spend one-third of our lives in bed – it is a great place to take a huge step forward in “detoxing” your air and home.

Avocado Green Mattress makes non-toxic, eco-friendly #mattresses and #pillows that are better for your health and the planet. They are made from natural and organic materials including: 100% natural Dunlop latex (tree-tapped, similar to maple syrup), natural wool, and organic cotton.

Healthy Sweet Potato Nachos - dairy free option

EVERYTHING on this plate is dairy free, with the exception of my Greek yogurt. Thankfully my body processes that wonderfully. 

Everything on here is actually really healthy for me!

Sweet Potatoes

Coconut Oil

Sea salt

Garlic

Chicken

Tomato

Avocado

onion

Cheese made from almond and rice. 

HEALTHY nacho's that HIT THE SPOT!

So let me tell you about the cheese!

They have ZERO trans fats and are made from nuts, or rice. 

AND... everything is CERTIFIED organic.

They know a way to my heart. 

You can use a spicier Jalapeno Jack 

-or-

you can use a nice cheddar!

I got both of mine from Lisanatti foods. 

To make the sweet potato nachos...

3 large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 large avocado, pit removed and diced

Sour cream or Greek yogurt

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the sweet potato rounds on a large baking sheet. You might need two baking sheets if you run out of room. You don’t want to overcrowd the sweet potatoes. Toss the sweet potatoes in olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the sweet potato rounds. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until sweet potatoes are crisp.

Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle cheese Bake until cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and top with all your favorite toppings. I used cooked chicken, avocado, red onion, tomato, greek yogurt. and it was SO YUM! 

As you can see the alternative cheese shreds and melts perfectly. I am thrilled, happy and full.

Healthier Mac and Cheese (vegan options)

So we found this great Quinoa pasta at Costco that is non-gmo and organic and the ingredients are: Quinoa. 

Pretty amazing! So we gave it a shot.. and the verdict was... YUM! HIGHLY recommend. 

So instead of making it horribly unhealthy and smothered in cheese, cream and butter. I decided to make a healthier sauce, made from nutritional yeast and almond milk. 

Guys it was divine. 

I do add parmesan cheese to the top, because I love it and it is all about balance. 

Roasted chicken on top is good too. Here is the recipe for the macaroni. 

Enjoy!

Healthier Mac and Cheese

1 head roasted garlic
12 ounces quinoa elbow macaroni (they are gluten free and yummy)
4 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 Tbsp potato starch (you can also use potatoes instead)
2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk, plus more as needed
Sea salt and pepper to taste
5 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (if Vegan use Vegan parm substitute)

Bring roughly 10 cups water to a boil in a large pot and salt with pink himalayan sea salt  generously. Once boiling, add pasta and stir to prevent noodles from sticking. Cook according to package instructions . Once fully cooked, drain and set aside.

Sauce time! Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and minced fresh garlic. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until light golden brown. Immediately add potato starch and whisk - cook for 1 minute.

Slowly add almond milk while whisking, then cook for 2 minutes over medium heat, whisking constantly.
Add roasted garlic. To extract garlic, simply push up from the base and the softened cloves should come right out.

Add cooked, drained pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Then top with parmesan cheese.

Optional: Heat oven to high broil and position a rack at the top of the oven. Broil pasta on high for 1-2 minutes (optional), or until golden brown (see photo). Watch closely as it can burn quickly.
Serve immediately. I love topping mine with an extra pinch of vegan parmesan cheese - I can never get enough of that stuff.
Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though best when fresh. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop - add extra almond milk if it's dry.

Optional: Top with roasted chicken.

Frozen Thai Iced Coffee

Thai iced coffee anyone? This will dance on your taste buds like you just had a treat without all the additives. But that’s only part of what’s so great about it..

All the bad things about coffee are swapped out for ‪superfoods‬, protein, probiotics and enzymes, everything that I’ve been feeding my body for the last two years to keep it healthy and Cancer free, including all nine essential amino acids, which you need to help build and repair muscle.

You’ll get a natural boost of #energy – not a quick caffeine buzz that’s followed by a crash – so you can power through a workout and won’t be faced with any late-afternoon cravings for sugar or caffeine to help you reboot and get through the day. Shakeology essentially squashes cravings for junk food by providing more than 70 different nutrients in one delicious glass, and it offers sustainable ‪‎energy‬ that lasts throughout the day.

Clean Healthy Fat Hollandaise

So you are asking how is this clean? Cashews. That is my answer. Where most hollandaise recipes contain a cube or two or three of butter, this recipe contains none. Instead, it contains cashews. That replacement alone makes it worth it. So for that purpose, this sauce is not Vegan. If you would like it to be Vegan, you can sub 1/4 cup avocado for the egg yolk and boom... vegan. I just wanted my eggs today. I am not afraid of egg yolk, because I eat so clean (no processed foods... that's ezekiel bread under there!) and my cholesterol can't get any lower. I love the clean healthy fat and protein of an egg yolk. Anything man didn't mess with I love. And before I get hate mail, I get my eggs from a reliable source and they are free range and non-gmo vegetable fed, good ole brown eggs. While I make numerous Vegan recipes, I am not Vegan. I love my eggs. 

I also love hollandaise, and it is something I always eat when I am splurging. So this time when I started my Hot for the Holiday's accountability group, I was prepared. Those of us in fitness know we need healthy fat to get to our goals. Now I have a yummy sauce to put on my breakfast, dip my veggies in, pour over my asparagus... and it is basically just nuts with a little avocado oil, a very healthy fat! 

You're welcome.

Clean Healthy Fat Hollandaise

1 cup raw uncooked cashews (Soaked overnight, drained, but save water)

1/4 cup avocado oil

1/4 cup of the cashew water that is left from soaking

2 egg yolks

1/2 tsp tumeric

1 tsp ground mustard seed

Juice of one lemon 

1 Tbsp Tapatio or Cholula hot sauce

1 tsp salt 

1/4 tsp pepper

Cashews MUST be soaked overnight for this sauce to work. 

Add your water and avocado oil together and heat to just under boiling. You can do this on the stove or the microwave, whatever suits you. 

In the meantime add the soaked, drained, cashews, 2 egg yolks, tumeric, mustard, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt and pepper to a blender and push blend. 

While it is blending, slowly drizzle the water/oil mixture into the blender, this will coagulate the egg yolks while blending the cashews. you may have to run a few cycles of blending and scraping down the sides, until it forms a cream consistency. 

Serve immediately. Store in an airtight container and gently bring back to warmth to serve.
Now go make a killer eggs benedict.

Middle Must Go Madness

kay truth moment. This coach is struggling this time around with my program because of so many amazing things happening. My son just came for a visit. My sister arrives today, then it is my birthday and then I am leaving on an all expense paid trip to a retreat with some of the best life changers. So I know I am not going to be able to 100% stick to the program. So I am planning ahead for my next round. Where I have some space to be home and concentrate on my goals... which are those abs for spring break!!!  

No more baggy (albeit oh-so-cozy) sweaters to hide our winter "gotta stay warm" layer!!!! I'm a beach girl now and bikini season is gonna be here SO SOON!!#MiddleMustGoMadness  is on the horizon! Time to plan!

Do you have a trip or somewhere warm and sunny on your horizon? Need to lose that muffin top and shred down to that sexy bod you're hiding by Spring Break? ME TOO!!

I am SO looking forward to dialing in and focusing on my portions along those 30 minute workouts that keep me feeling "just" the right amount of sore and seeing progress week after week!!

I can't do this alone! Yes, I might be working out in my living room alone ((makes it so convenient to squeeze that half an hour in every day--no excuses)) but I need that daily check in and support to keep me going. I will do the same for you!! 

Comment below, like, or send a PM! Email: momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com

Clean Eating Jerk Salmon with Pineapple Salsa

Hello Readers! 

It has been a while since my last article. I am going to try to post once a week now. So much is happening in my life. I wear many hats. My 3rd book is being published next month. I could not be more excited. It is clean eating, and exercise combined. Nourish - The beginner's guide to eating healthy and staying fit, will be hitting the shelves!

Please head over to the Nourish The Workshop website and let us know where you practice! Looking forward to meeting you and leading you on a journey to nourish your mind, body and soul!

One of the other major changes in my life has been my superfood diet. I used to spend all this money making my own whole food, organic, non-gmo concoction to fight off my cancer. I also used to waste a lot of time juicing. Until my doctor pointed me to the whole food, organic, cancer fighting superfood shake! I love to pick apart the ingredients in my shakeology and find out exactly where they came from and what they do for the body. Today I am sharing a nutritional nugget about Amylase, along with one of my favorite green smoothie recipes. 

Amazing right? Hit me up if you want some! 

I have been eating clean for over a year now. I don't fall into any one diet category, but I do eat clean. This is one of my most favorite dishes to serve. This dish is full of Caribbean flavor. It is also really really healthy. No need for heavy sauces or bad fats. This is a crowd pleaser. People will think they are indulging or "cheating" but it is extremely good for you. 

So I thought I would share the recipe in time for Valentines day. You can make your sweetie a special meal, and still have it be healthy! 

Caribbean Jerk Salmon and Mango Pineapple Salsa over Quinoa with Mango Puree

For the quinoa:

1 cup quinoa

2 cups water

For the salsa you need:

2 mangoes, peeled and diced

1/2 pineapple, cored and diced

3/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

3/4 teaspoon himalyan salt, 

Jerk Seasoning: 

1 teaspoon ground allspice 

1 teaspoon ground cumin 

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

 4 salmon fillets 

1 teaspoon olive oil

Chop and combine mangoes, pineapple, onion, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Refrigerate until use.

Next make your quinoa. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add your quinoa and bring back to a boil. Cover and turn the stove to lowest setting. The quinoa will be ready in 25 minutes. Lift lid and fluff. 

Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, allspice, cumin, thyme, cayenne and cinnamon in another bowl; rub over both sides of each fillet. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook salmon until cooked through, 5 minutes per side, The skin should be able to peel right off after being seared. Serve with salsa. 

Mango Puree: one sliced mango in the blender. 1/2 tsp of stevia and juiced 1/2 a lemon. Blend until a puree.

To assemble, I started with a bed of quinoa. Then topped with the mango pineapple salsa. Next add the Salmon. Dollup a little mango puree on top and add a circle of it around the quinoa. Enjoy!
