21 Day Fix Reunion

Calling all past 21 day fix graduates! I am looking for you! I am on a quest to run a very large challenge group during the month of June with all of my past challengers to help get them re-sparked and on track with their motivation for clean eating and exercise as we head into summer. 

I am encouraging you to dust off your 21 day fix programs that you have or challenge yourself to do the 21 day fix extreme for something new. For those looking to purchase the extreme version or for some reason might need a new copy of the regular fix,you should know that both programs are on sale for the month of June as challenge packs.  We will be using the new my challenge tracker app for the 21 day. Many of you have not had any experience with it yet. My clients who are using it now seem to love it. It adds a new level of accountability for tracking your progress. You can watch this quick video to learn more about what it is. 

During the challenge I will be offering weekly prizes for participation. At the conclusion there will also be a prize for the challenger who the most drastic transformation. Requirements to be in the challenge will be committing to stick with it for the 21 days. You will need to follow the meal plan, do the program workouts and drink Shakeology daily for the duration of the group. Each day you will check in with the other challengers to share your progress and lean on one another for support. 
The event will begin on June 20th. It’s going to be an absolute blast.  Please contact me at S.Griffith27@gmail.com if you would like to reserve a spot. Feel free to invite your friends along too if they have done the program before.

Starting Over...

Your Struggles Today Are Your Strengths Tomorrow 

There really are no words to describe all that I have been thru in the last few weeks. Our emotions have traveled a heck of a roller coaster. We were on a high because after three years, we were some how able to get pregnant. Then a few short weeks later we learned that things were not looking great and we spent a few weeks being terribly worried. Only to later to learn that the baby was not going to make it. This past week I had my surgery to remove what remained of the pregnancy. To say it was hard, it a bit of an understatement. 

Heading into surgery on Monday. 

I will be quite honest. When we learned I was pregnant, I was so afraid to mess anything up so I basically quit exercising. The doctors told me light exercise would be fine since I had already been active but I decided it was not worth the risk so I just stopped almost all together. Some would think oh no big deal who cares. Heres the thing though, for the last three years exercise was a part of my daily life. It was a part of me. The exercise was my stress relief. The workouts were not for weight loss they were for health and quite honestly it helped to keep my spirits up during hard times. I grew to really enjoy it and when I stopped I felt like a piece of me went missing.

All I was hanging on to was clean eating and truthfully that started to slip the more stressful things became as I learned something might be wrong with the pregnancy. I found myself slipping back to my old ways and getting lazy about what I was fueling my body with. The more junk I started to eat the more lousy I began to feel.  

I hit what I would call a bit of a rock bottom this week. Emotionally I have been a terribly sad and completely not myself. I spent much of the week recovering from the surgery I had on Monday. I went back to work on Thursday and Friday but have mostly been staying off social media and away from everyone. It seems the only person I feel like talking with is my husband and a very small handful of people. I realize it's not a great place to be but it's how I am getting thru and where I am right now. I also realize I need to get back to ME. While that may take time, I need to start somewhere and for me the only place I know can start with is my health. 

It's what feels familiar, its my old sense of normal and it's what I can control. So that is my plan. Controlling the controllable and handling the rest day by day.

The game plan is to start Saturday April 30th with the original program that I started with three short years ago when I started my journey as a challenger turned coach. I will spend the next 21 days doing the original 21 day fix. I will be drinking my Shakeology daily and using the portion control containers with my meal plan and working out 30 minutes a day each day. I am certain there will be days when I just don't feel like it, but I am making no excuses. I want to feel better about myself again and this is where I can start. Since March I have gained 9 lbs all of which I am almost certain I can drop in those 21 days. If I don't, that's okay too. This isn't about weight loss it's about getting back to my old self. 

I am asking for some support and extra cheering on in these coming weeks. I'm ready to turn my struggles into tomorrows strength. Your welcome to join me instead of just watching if you would like! Glad to have you along for the ride!

21 Day Fix Graduate

21 Day Fix Challenger Success Story

Today I wanted to give a great big shout out to one of my amazing challengers Adelle. She and I both went to college together and studied Business Education at IUP. After many years of not staying in touch she reached out to me this winter on social media and said she was interested in what I do as a coach. She mentioned that she has some baby weight that she was looking to get rid of and overall just wanted to be healthier. She was someone who was committed right away. Like no messing around. Sometimes I chat back and forth with people for months before they decide they are ready to commit. That was not the case with her. The same day she sent me a friend request was the day she mentioned she wanted to join my challenge group. That told me she was ready to go ALL IN. She was at while I like to call "rock bottom". Rock bottom is the best place to be when it comes to starting your weight loss journey. You are ready to go all in no matter what at this point. It's a beautiful place to be when it comes to your motivation and determination to do well with the program you pick.

She chose the 21 day fix as her program and chocolate for her flavor of Shakeology. When she joined, she was about to be taken on a journey of clean eating, daily exercise and learning a new approach to portion control. She knocked it out of the park. She is since down 11 pounds. She is feeling healthier and best of all has more energy to play with her kids. She's moving on to the CIZE workout program now. Getting her sweat on while she dances her heart out. Talk about a fun way to exercise.

Her commitment to the challenge group has been awesome. She's stuck with it and has refused to throw in the towel. Even if she gets off track for a few days, I know she will be right back at it. That my friends is how you lose weight for good and keep it off. You stay accountable and you stay committed to the goals that you set in the beginning.

Adelle thank you for allowing me to be the person to help guide you thru your fitness journey. Your doing an amazing job and have become such a healthy role model for your beautiful children. Way to lead by example for them. Mommy deserves to be healthy and feel great! Keep at it my dear!!

Transformation Tuesday - Meet Amanda

Meet Amanda - Mom, Wife, Doctor, Runner - Super Woman 

Today I would like to feature Amanda. She is someone who I have been working with since early this summer. Amanda was introduced to me thru one of my other challengers and we have been working together ever since. The funny part about this business is I have never met Amanda but I could tell you all of her struggles, successes and a bit about her because of her involvement in my recent challenge group. I hope that sometime soon we can meet up and toast to her accomplishments but in the mean time I wanted to give her a special shout out and cheer her on. I hope that this will inspire many of you to start your journey no matter where you are in your life, no matter how many pounds you have to lose or how many babies you have at home. She is living proof that you CAN do it!

When I asked her to write me a little story about her journey here is what she told me:
 "I have always been active in life.  I have run 5 half marathons and love trail running.  I also do outdoor boot camps.  But I never could lose all the weight after having my second baby.  I tried weight watchers, Atkins, no sugar diet and nothing worked.  When I found out I was pregnant with my third son at 38, I was very afraid I would hang onto even more weight after this pregnancy (metabolism does drop as you age!).  And being a working mom with three kids... I knew I wouldn't have enough time to do a lot. My friend was doing 21 day fix and loved it so I thought I would try.  My weight loss post pregnancy had stalled despite trying to eat healthy and exercising.  I started at 170 lbs.  I have done 2 rounds of the fix and lost 16 lbs so far and countless inches around my waist /hips.  All my clothes fit now!  And I wore a bikini at the beach for the first time in 8 years (4 months after having my third baby!). More than that-- I feel great and have tons of energy.  I feel in control and I am never hungry.  I recently went on vacation for a week and maintained my weight loss :).  My goal is to lose 5-10 more lbs and tone my stomach area more.  Honestly-- I plan to eat this way for life." 

"She is just as busy as the rest of you, but she MAKES the time for what she knows her body needs and what she wants for herself." 

Keep up the fantastic work Amanda!!! You have made me so proud and I cannot wait to see your final afters!!! 

P90x3 Ready!
