Happy Easter!
It has been over a month since I have been able to write a new blog. Life got waaay too busy. Things are calming down so here I am. My 21 day Winter Detox went really well. Everyone lost between 5lbs and 10 lbs, 6-8" all around and 3-8% body fat! Amazing! Spring Detox coming in May. Stay tuned for details.
Check out these results in just 21 days....
The winner lost 10 lbs, 1.2% body fat and 7.5" all around. 4.25" in just her waist! There were 2 woman that tied for 2nd place. Here are their results..runner up #1 lost 6 lbs, 8" and 8% body fat. Runner up #2 lost 7.5lbs, 6.8% body fat and 7.75". I am so proud of these woman. How did they do it? Eating Zone/Paleo for 21 days, not drinking any alcohol, exercising 6 days a week, not eating any grains, dairy, sugar or white flour. This takes hard work and discipline but is totally worth it. Way to go ladies!! Be proud of your accomplishments.
It's Easter morning and my entire house is asleep..Conor, Chloe, Mark and the 3 J's (Jynxy, Jak-Jak and Joy). Here we go again another holiday based around food. Let's not forget what Easter is all about.
How are YOU going to stay on track with your food today?
7 Tips to have a successful Easter
- Have a plan for the day.
- Exercise before your kids wake up or after the easter egg hunt. Here is a 20 min workout everyone can do..set the timer for 20 min. Amrap = as many rounds as possible. 20 min amrap: 10 burpees, 15 sit ups, 20 lunges, 25 air squats.
- Eat a light snack before you go to your family's house.
- Love dessert? Make a paleo dessert to bring with you so you won't be tempted by the other fattening desserts.
- Be strong it is ONLY food. It will be there tomorrow.
- Portion control is key! On a scale of 1-10(1=starving, 10=stuffed) eat until a 6/7.
- Exercise when you get home. Go for a walk. Move your body!
CALORIES IN JELLY BEANS and PEEPS
Eating even a small amount of sugar creates a desire for more. Check this out:
4 Calories Per Bean. Each Jelly Belly jelly bean is four calories. Twenty-five Jelly Belly jelly beans is 100 calories –NOT WORTH IT!
One serving of Peeps is five chick-shaped pieces, each containing 28 calories. This may not seem like a lot, but almost all of these calories come from sugar (one Peep has 7.2 grams of carbs, 6.8 of which are sugar), meaning they're as empty as it gets.
