A fit coach, what's that?

Hello friends,

I am writing today to tell you about my weight loss story and how it's lead my to becoming a fit coach. So back in Oct. I signed up to do the 21 day fix challenge group with Tracey my boss at the Lunch Studio, Best friend and now fit coach too. So back in Oct. I decided I was fed up and for real and I was going to do all that I could to get back into shape and feel my best. Tracey happened to be starting a challenge group with her coach Tamra which was centered around the 21 day fix program. I thought 21 days I got this 21 days is nothing I have to wait 42+ days to see my husband so if I can change my body in 21 days... hell yea sign me up!! I had gained 65 pounds from baby lost 45 just from every day activity. My body seemed to have plateaued at a whopping 170 pounds I was eating good well .........not really I was skipping breakfast and I was obsessed with The old quad 2 pump iced mocha that was my go to for every obstacle life had to give me.

I was fed up, I had reached rock bottom with my fitness and nutrition and decided it was time to take the reins because I'm getting older not old but I'm on the upward incline and it was time to fix my body I would like to age gracefully. So right away I signed up to do the program with Tracey and she talked me into signing up to be a fit coach because she thought I'd be good at it, so I did. So I've been A fit coach since  October but I was still so shy I hadn't even had results with my weight loss journey for the journey hadn't even begun. So I used my 'coach rank' to get discount DVDs and finally I tried to shakeo and then I fell in love. I have been going strong with the eating clean and working out strong since October my body has lost 28 pounds in over 30.5 inches.

I like to post everything I eat on Instagram it helps keep me on track and holds me accountable and I know what I did if I gain or if I lose It's nice to know what I ate so that I can stay on track. I found out I was a inspiring a lot of people along the way and I love that it's the best feeling in the world to know that you are making a positive impact on other people's lives!! I love it so much I now have over 11 challengers under me - that means I am 11 people's fit coach. What a fit coach does is run challenge groups we are getting ready to fill two different groups for next month the 21 day fix & the 21 day fix extreme which is the 21 day fix upped 3 to 4 notches it's really good. I highly suggest if you're already active or already actively exercising, it's amazing and you can get competition results in up to 3 weeks.  I just started the 21 day fix extreme last week it is a little challenging but I love it!! My body needs muscle confusion to change after I have been working out awhile. So what is a challenge group you ask a challenge group is a group of people ours consists of 3 coaches and our challengers, challengers are the people that sign up under us in the program  and well we're there we help keep them motivated and accountable for doing the workouts and eating their food staying on track, the awesome thing is is the challengers do the same for us too, healthy is contagious it's my favorite place on the internet everyone is so happy and excited, their bodies are changing their moods are lifting there pants are fitting, it's amazing!! The 2 coaches I work with are 2 of the raddest chicks around we are a team I love my coach team these ladies help lift me up and remind me that we are strong!! I love you Tamra and Tracey <3 <3!!!I am so thankful Beachbody found me it seriously saved my life and sanity. I was desperately wanting to get back to  (my favorite past time) The Rock gym where my best friends are, I love it so much but with 2 wild women full time and a hub out of state 75% of the time that was so not happening. The rad thing about Beachbody work outs is you get the trainer in your living room, you get the diet plan, the challenge group with a free coach (if this interests you pick me ;) I would love you to join my team) there for you every step of the way whether is be diet or motivation what ever you need we are there and we care, we want you to reach the highest you! You get 24 hr support and you can even win prizes, how cool!! It's awesome!!The average workout is 30min I totally have that after the kids shut there little eyes. If you are ready to join the challenge get at me I would love to sign you up and add ya to our March fitness group[ we have lining up, if you need more time I'll be here cause I'm not going anywhere I found my burning passion <3 <3 <3 

Mad Love,

Bills went EXTREME

Hi Friends,

Ha, so Wednesday the mailman delivered 21 day fix EXTREME in my mailbox, OH YEAH!! I have been waiting for it's release for atleast 6 weeks. So it's been a long time! I have been prepping for it because I heard it's the 21 day fix bumped up a few notches. The day it arrived I had already worked out, so later in the evening I watched (yes I said watched) plyo extreme, ha I had to see what I signed up for, lol!! It looks so hard haha but I am so down!! I ended up doing hardcore extreme and that it was. I know this program is going to give me the results I am looking for. Thursday I decided to sync up the schedule to the regular 21 day fix and do pilates extreme oh my gerd haha I felt like my muscle were going to rip out of my skin, my whole body got a serious workout, Autumn the instructor used resistance bands the whole time and it was crazy challenging but doable it hurts so bad lol. Last night I did cardio extreme it kick my butt haha I felt like a car that had been parked after going 100mph down the e-way, I haven't been winded like that in a long while. I think this program is exactly what I need for reaching my goal of getting abs. I feel muscles building as I am working out tonight I plan to do Dirty 30 extreme, sounds like a perfect ending to my Valentines Day!! ;)

This is my before pic for 21 day fix Extreme my body is work in progress. But I'm gonna get there. 

Pic on left is me day 1 of 21 day fix, that program is what started my journey. My body has changed that much in 4 short months. It took hard work and dedication but nothing good comes easy, and that's the truth. All those baby steps and small choices  really do add up. I am so thankful I stayed consistent and kept pushing.

I am looking for friends or friends of friends are interested in attaining the same goals as me. I have tried many weightloss methods and failed but this one is hands down my favorite, it takes hard work and dedication but it will get you where you want to be the that is the truth!! I work with 2 other coaches that are also amazing friends of mine who I love and we host monthly challenge groups that help motivate and keep you accountable we just share our adventure in the program pretty much its so real and relatable there's really nothing like it. I love it ❤️ one of the most popular challenge groups we have is 21 day fix, it is how I started its a 21 day program, 7 days a week 30 mins day and a portion controlled diet that makes nutrition a no-brainer. I am promoting it so heavily this   month cause 1. its the BOMB and 2. Its on Super Sale!! The challenge pack is 70 dollars off this month and comes with a month supply or (30day supply) of Shakeology a dense superfood meal replacement shake.

Super healthy & super effective. If this seems like something you are ready to do with me please message me and we will get you all signed up. I am all about this program. I went from being upset I was never going to get my pre mom body back because going to the gym is just not in the stars for me being a SAHM with a husband working out of town. So this right here is GOLD I am so thankful everyday this came into my life, it hands down changed my quality of my life. I feel better now than I ever have and I am 35 years old with 2 kids (well 3) but 1 I did not make haha :D 

I am going to insert link to challenge pk down here in case it strikes your fancy as much as it does mine.

How to make your own guilt free 'tasty ass mocha' outta superfoods

Hi Guys,

So looks like I've decide to tackle treats and vices this week. Haha that is because that was 1/2 my battle. Ok so in  today's post I will be showing you how I deal with my iced mocha latte addiction in a guiltfree kinda way:) 

21 DFX-  1 red  *1/4 yellow * 1/2 blue

You will need

- 1 blender or bullet like device

- a small pot/french press or cold brew of coffee

-6 almonds

-1/2 c unsweetened coconut almond milk

- 1 tbsp cocoa powder

- 1 scoop vegan or reg chocolate shakeology

- a shaker cup filled w ice

Step 1

Pour 1/2 of the ice in blender

Throw in 6 raw almonds 1/2 Blue container if you are doing 21 DFX

Next pour in unsweetened almond coconut milk 1/4 yellow if following 21 DFX

The add tbsp of cocoa powder (free food) this is just to boost chocolate flavor to dark :)

Now dump a scoop of shakeo into blender 1 red if you are following 21DFX

Seal er up

Blend

Dump into shaker or shakeology cup

Next sump remaining ice and add more to blender/ bullet and top off with coffee.

Now seal and blend

Dump that into shakeo cup too :)

It will look like this (shake it up) 

And wallah you have your very own guilt free tasty ass iced mocha latte!! 

That there was my GIANT VICE holy crap you could ask any barista in Flint and Flint's tri city area if they knew me and they'd say yea 2 pump quad iced mocha girl. It was a serious addiction for real like the car was always on auto pilot to starbucks. I was so addicted I would be offended if someone passed Starbucks with me in the car. It was an addiction that can I say 'had me by the balls.' I have been ices mocha, iced americano with 1-2 pump chocolate free for 20 weeks now it was the only thing in my diet with HFCS so gross. I so do not miss it or the psychotic obsession I had for my drive thru mocha habit!! The only part I miss is seeing my barista friends smiles on the daily.

Do you have vices? I think we all have a few it helps us cope. I am trying to findbalance  and moderation this is a very hard thing when you were born a extremist, but where there's a will there's a way and that my friends is the truth!! 

Much Love, 

Steph Bills

 BASIC 21 DAY FIX KIT

Who said you can't have your wine and chocolate?

Hi Guys, (that means everyone when I say it)

Did you know on the 21day fix you are allowed to swap your yellow for wine (4oz) or enough dark chocolate (enough to fill the orange container) 3 times a week? That's pretty cool since the program is only 3 weeks!! So during that 21 days you get like 9 cheats and loose up to 15lbs that's bad ass!!

I wanted to share with you the 'clean' chocolate I make that keeps me on track and is guilt free as long as I don't go over board, which I have been known to do in the past!! Lol what? I'm a extremist!! 

Ok here's the super simple recipe

It is good to have in the house when the family has temping goodies. I usually pour the chocolate in candy molds and freeze they are usually ready in 15 min if they are straight chocolate but if you add PB they take a lot longer. I store them in the freezer too, it helps keep my paws off them. :D 

I have made them all kinds of ways, I'm kind of a scavenger in the kitchen that way lol. If I own it its going in lol. These delectable hearts have chia seeds, almonds, tart cherries, pb, & coconut. They are all a little different. 

These are the chocolate peanut butter skulls I made that were the bomb!! So if you are a chocolate lover just save some of those yellows and you can have your chocolate and eat it too!! The 21 day fix is the best workout/ nutrition plan ever!! I love it!!

So today was pretty exciting for me..... Cause the mail man delivered my 21day fix extreme I have been yapping about! Sadly the chocolate and wine will not be on that 21 day menu. But thats cool I want extreme results, I am so excited to see what I got myself into!! Cause I never do know!!!  hahaha

I hope everyone's week is going good! Thanks for reading my ramblings!! Rambling on.....

Much Love,  

Steph Bills

Prepping for the fix (time to buckle down)

Howdy friends,

So I was thinking and then another thought crashed into that thought and well now I have a great idea!! Ha I'm sure  somebody else has done it cause it's brilliant, it straight up takes the thought out of, what do I put in this container? It makes meal prepping a synch!! 

Ok so what I already do (when I am organized) that's 1/2 the time is I make a list of every thing thats in the fridge &  pantry and create meals, it's great to do with fresh food so you know it's there to eat. As I was thinking, I had the brilliant idea to color cordinate that list to the 21DFX containers so then you can pick your meals the night before or however you do it with out waiting till a quarter past hangry to decide what's going in the containers lol- can you tell I've been there? Lol

So this most def isn't everything on the 21day fix, but it's everything I have in my house that's on the diet. So it's essentially a color coordinated list to your personal groceries. I think it will take the last minute guess work (that can sometimes lead to handfuls of goldfish) out of the picture. After all preparation is key to staying good in the kitchen, hopefully this helps a few of you. I think it will me!

Much Love,

Entry 2.........where I'm at

So last week I started round 2 of 21day fix, I can not wait to get the results!! For those of you who are not familiar with the 21day fix it is a exercise program that focuses on total body there's cardio, upper fix, lower fix, dirty 30, (ha-sounds fun) yoga, pilates, plyo and 10 min abs the work outs are 30min a piece and 7 days a week, with results in 21days. The other part of the program is diet, the diet part of the program is focused around portion control. The 21day fix comes with  color coordinated tupperware that makes the diet a no brainer!! So you get a rainbow of containers- each color represents a different food group. The program has a calulation to find your proper cal intake which then breaks it down into allotted containers through out the day. The foods on the diet are pretty much real food, but other than that its just portion control, and you get to eat a lot!! This program is very doable, the exercise is 30 min a day 7 days a week the containers make it a breeze!! 21 days to a new you!!

A few examples of 21day fix meals of mine

Tuna salad- made w Greek yogurt, celery, dill, pepper and sea salt= 1 red

Cottage cheese 1 red

Arugula, radish sprouts, grape tomatoes broccoli and mushroons =1 green

& in my book that's a hooked up lunch!!

Avocado toast-

Food for life spelt toast 1 piece =1 yellow

Avocado= 1 blue

Cottage cheese= 1red

Kale sprouts and broccoli=1green

That was a hooked up snack one day

Greek yogurt =1 red

Stawberries=1/3 purple

Coconut=1/4 blue

Chiaseeds=1/4 orange

Perfect evening snack and 24g of protein

So I am on day 7 of round 2 of the 21Day fix. I am excited because after this round of fix I am starting 21day fix extreme I hear it's pretty hard core!! I have to boost my game before I look lame, lol jk. It looks intense so I have to push myself before I dive into it. I can not wait to tell ya bout it. Hope everyone's enjoying their Sunday!! 

Much love,

Day 1 for the blog..... Week 20 of clean eating

 

Hello I am Steph, I am a SAHM that's husband is gone 6 weeks of every 2 months.... Lets say I stay busy. I have a busy 5 year old in kindergarten and a busy/ danger seeking 18 month old, they keep me on my toes!!

I used to train at the best gym ever, The Rock in Flint, Mi. Hands down the best gym ever, it was my home away from home. Notice I said (was) yea those were the good ole days. Lets just say 2 kids later and no sitter it sure ain't happening today. Lol but that's ok I can still pop in and visit. I say it's ok now because my FIT life was rekindled and on FIRE lol yep I found Beachbody and holy crap am I smitten cause..... Oh yea I am obsessed with the programs the real food diet, the results, and my energy level is through the roof.

On Oct. 4, 2014 my life changed for the best :D on this day I decided enough was enough I was done with my half ass healthy diet, I ate pretty good for the most part but would have days where I splurged and totally sabotaged a good streak of healthy days. All along this half ass healthy lifestyle I was living I was drinking Starbucks iced mochas behind the scenes and boy could you tell. I was 1 year postpartum and still caring 25 of the 65lb I gained during pregnancy. So on Oct. 4th I started my REAL FOOD diet well lets say lifestyle cause it doesn't really feel like a diet, I'm just smarter with what I bring home I still fill my sweet tooth and get my coffees just the right way:) On that same day I started a challenge group, the 21day fix challenge group, I was a tad hesitant not really convinced my body could change I had been at a plateau with my weight for 6 months. Well that challenge came and went and I lost a whooping 15lbs in 3 weeks, AMAZING I could not even believe it, After seeing numbers on the scale I hadn't seen since baby #1 was 2.5y/o I was HOOKED or should I say OBSESSED a whole hearted believer!!! I signed up as a coach to get discounts on my dvds but was far too shy to try to be a fit coach, after seeing my results and feeding my body the best food choices I felt alive, amazing and so thankful this came into my life!! After I got my results I started inspiring others, healthy is very contagious you know, and well I decided to dive in head first with the coaching cause I want everyone to feel their best it  changes the quality of your life for the best. Clean eating and exercise are a very powerful combination and they work like magic together, as long as you put in hard work and dedication. 

^WEEK 3 INTO THE PROGRAM ^

Down 15lb in from round 1 21DFX
