Buy the good stuff!

Yesterday, I had a wonderful response to my giving up wine post. The support is very helpful. Thank you!

I have been searching for ways to stay balanced through out my day so I am not out of sorts and cranky at 5:30 when I need to start thinking about making dinner. Dinner making time is when I would pour myself a glass of wine. I have been looking for fun replacements and I came across.”The Good Girl Moonshine” on Pinterest.

I posted their apple recipe yesterday. This morning I made an Apple cider vinegar, strawberry, ginger drink. It is not chardonnay but it is a fun replacement and actually super healthy. Thomas had his drink for breakfast with an one minute muffin.

Apple Cider Vinegar :  Many health studies show the benefits of ACV. “In 400 BC Hippocrates, the father of medicine, used it for it’s amazing natural cleansing, healing and energizing health qualities.” Good enough for Hippocrates, good enough for me.

Buy the good stuff.

Buy the good stuff.

Ginger: Ginger has amazing health benefits as well. It is an excellent anti-inflammatory and so good for your digestion.  It has a fun kick as well.

Are you ready to feel your best in the New Year?

My intention for 2015 was to empower as many people as possible to become Fat Burners…Fit and Fabulous. It has been a wonderful year and 2016 is just around the corner.

We just finished a Fit and Fabulous Sugar cleanse. It takes 5 days to change from a sugar burner to a fat burner.

“I am proud to say I went to a wedding on Saturday, day after completing RESET, and did not cheat at all!! woo hoo – that’s big for me & the desert was creme brulee, my favorite!! so i can honestly say that my sugar craving has disappeared and hoping it will be for awhile!! down 5lbs and already feeling a little lighter.”  FROM A HAPPY FAT BURNER!

I blogged about Menopausal Belly, it was a high traffic day. I know it is an issue. What has happened? Why am I thicker around the middle? What can be done?

I have coached many people through   the 5 day Reset program. It will take you from being a sluggish sugar burner to a vibrant healthy fat burner.  I have coached many through the 5 day Reset and beyond. THE PROGRAM WORKS!

Are you a sugar burner or a fat burner?

If you are in Fat burning mode:

Sleep soundly through the night with no night sweats. (Menopausal women as well, decreased night sweats!)

Hunger will be at a minimum. You will have a feeling of emptiness not irritability, urgency, low blood sugar or a feeling of fogginess. You will be in a balanced state.

Mood will be stable. You will feel in control with more self confidence.

Energy will be consistent and abundant . You will develop a feeling of Lightness.

Cravings will be almost non-existent. You will be amazed that you can pass up on snacks that would have taken you down in the past.

Bonus Round…You will be losing Fat including that stubborn fat around the middle.

The BIG QUESTION! How do I become a FAT BURNER?

Start with the 5 day RESET. It takes 5 days to change from a sugar burner to a fat burner! You can totally change your life in 5 days. I will  support you along the way. We also have a wonderful facebook community where we post and create a Fit and Fabulous Lifestyle together. You are not alone. Do you want to be healthy and fit for the long run?  Hang with healthy and fit people! Bonus Round…Most people lose 4-5 pounds in five days and  your sugar cravings are eliminated! What a great way to jump start the New Year!

Yes, there is a chocolate shake in the box!

From one of my Fit and Fabulous gals! “I finished my 5 days on Reset yesterday. I thought it was going to be so much more difficult then it was and in fact it wasn’t difficult at all. My craving for sugar has subsided and I have never felt so good and proud of the 5 day accomplishment I have endured. Thank you Mary Kiningham for the guidance and the guidance as well as suggestions to keep going down this path of Swedish Fish free way of living”

Dr. Christiane Northrup describes the experience this way:

“I encourage you to eat in ways that will promote long-term health benefits. If you start eating healthier today, it’s likely you’ll be rewarded with weight-loss in five to ten days. After that, all you have to do is modify your lifestyle to maintain steady blood sugar. Here’s the best part: You can lose fat effectively while feeling great in the process. Keep your blood sugar stable and you’ll experience more energy; ability to sustain exercise; clearing of brain fog; ability to build muscle; less hunger—ability to control portion sizes and cravings; fewer PMS symptoms; better looking skin; deeper, more restful sleep; stable moods and more optimism; and clear eyes without puffiness or dark circles.”*

‘Tis the season!

‘Tis the season, when I start wanting Chocolate chip cookies. In the past, I loved to bake the best chocolate chip cookies! I would eat them! My family would eat them, I would give them to my neighbors and the mail man. I would tell them that they were the best chocolate chip cookies!

Friday, Tom and I went to the Christmas tree farm to pick out a tree. Tom picks out the tree.tom and the tree

They are usually a little on the small scrawny side but that is what we love. At least I do! “The Charlie Brown tree.”

 

Yesterday, we decorated the tree, lots of lights, a few ornaments and dried hydrangea from the garden. I noticed, I really wanted cookies. It is a strong memory from the past, my childhood, my grandmother…. It goes way back.

I didn’t bake so I didn’t have any cookies in the house. I made a chocolate nutrimeal instead AND for a real treat I threw in a frozen banana.  It helped. I am making better choices. In the past, I would end up with a yeast infection in January because I ate so much sugar. I do it differently now and I will still enjoy a few cookies this December. I will also enter the New year, healthy, vibrant and FIT!  How about you?

Are you scared of putting on weight during the Holidays?

Are you addicted to sugar? It is in so many products, cereal, ketchup, canned foods … The list goes on.

Have you seen Fed UP? Check out the two minute trailer.

Confession of a Health Coach!

This is Day 13 of the October Salad of the day Challenge. Andreea Fegan of Little Bites of Joy put the challenge together. I decided to do it to support Andreea. I eat well most of the time. Normally, I don’t eat a salad everyday. I have now for the past 13 days. Some interesting things have come up.

Here goes…

Confession of a Health Coach!

Last week was my son Tom’s birthday. Thursday, I made delicious brownie cookies for him to take to his program. Of course I had to taste them.

Fancy Brownie Cookies

Fancy Brownie Cookies

On Friday, his birthday we had cupcakes.  On Saturday, we went to a football game had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a pita pocket along with another chocolate chip cookie and a few pretzels. This was all pretty indulgent for me. On Saturday, after the football game I came home and ate a kale salad because I was part of the Salad challenge! I felt much better.

"I am 26 today!"

“I am 26 today!”

Today, for lunch I was about to eat leftovers when I realized. No, I need to make a salad.

Kale,Swiss Chard, Lettuce, Chicken, cheddar cheese, eggplant, cashews, tomatoes, DELICIOUS!

Kale,Swiss Chard, Lettuce, Chicken, cheddar cheese, eggplant, cashews, tomatoes, DELICIOUS!

I have made it easy for myself. I make a big kale salad and it can last for a few days in the refrigerator. You can clean and wash your lettuce ahead of time. The ingredients are all ready to go.

This all works so well with THE PROGRAM. I always add protein to my salad if it is a meal. I have a rotisserie chicken in the refrigerator…chop it up throw it into your salad. It makes it easy! I have noticed that I am really full because I am eating big salads.

Small changes can make a big difference. Join the October salad a day challenge. Andreea has more great tips!

Menopausal Muffin Top

Here is the wonderful testimonial. “thanks so much Mary! Yes, I feel really good since I’ve been very diligent about taking my supplements and I find that having the prepacked supplements for the AM and PM helps keep me on track, I know I wasn’t taking the recommended dosages before.  I work in special ed as you know and it can be so physically and mentally draining and I’ve been finding that my energy levels have been great, instead of collapsing when I get home I take a healthy,long walk with my dog and do push ups on a bench in the woods and some free weight work when I get home, even though I haven’t weighed myself I don’t feel as bloated and the menopausal “muffin top”, isn’t as overflowing as it was before and things are fitting better. I also believe that keeping up with this vitamin regiment has really helped decrease all the other menopausal symptoms that I’ve been plagued with like fatigue, thinning hair and nails, weight gain and hot flashes..I’m in a much better place then I was a year ago and I thank you.”

I don’t think there is much more to say. THE PROGRAM works! Would you like to join us?  Muffin top…BE GONE!

No Vegetables in Sight!

I am hoping to write this in a completely positive note.

We celebrated my Dad’s 85th birthday dinner in North Carolina this weekend. We had dinner under a tent. Good thing, because it was pouring rain in my sister’s back yard.  Most of my immediate family was there; no extra friends, aunts or uncles. It was an intimate party. My parents had 8 children, and there are 23 Grandkids plus 4 great Grandkids. It was the perfect  party with just “the family”.

My parents are great. They are in good health, and drive themselves, mostly Dad, wherever they need to go. They travel from New Jersey to Saint Louis, Colorado, Michigan, Texas,  North Carolina and beyond. They get interesting books on tape and off they go. I love that I don’t know where they are half of the time.

Back to the party. Dinner, was the result of an extended e-mail discussion among the siblings, of course. I stayed out of it the best I could. I have three sisters and a brother in North Carolina, so it was their deal. We had a delicious Southern dinner. Chicken breast with white rice and parmesan cheese sauce, shrimp and grits in a cream sauce, scalloped potatoes, some kind of cute little southern biscuit, and darling individual tomato cheese pie. We had sweet tea, of course, to drink, and Birthday Cake for dessert. It all was quite a treat and good quality creamy Southern Comfort food.  Halfway through dinner, I realized there was nothing green on my plate. Not a vegetable in sight. A kid’s dream come true!

The top of the cake. We are all pieces of candy:)

The top of the cake. We are all pieces of candy:)

Breakfast was another matter. We spent the night in a hotel with a free breakfast. There were powdered scrambled eggs, tasteless bacon, waffles with fake syrup and fake butter. There was nothing satisfying about the food. You wanted to add ketchup to your eggs, extra syrup to your waffle…etc. You get the picture.  You tend to eat more because nothing is satisfying.

I don’t want to be a food snob but what I realized is you eat a totally different way when the food is high quality organic fresh food. You come away feeling nourished. You can use a small amount of organic butter and the best maple syrup on your waffle for a treat with organic scrambled eggs and delicious no-nitrate bacon and you have quite the feast. You tend not to over do it. You step away feeling good.

Just to top off the trip, we stopped off at a rest area with vending machines. Pretzels and M&M’s for lunch! Last night, we had roasted vegetables for dinner and got back to normal.

Back on THE PROGRAM today!  I did my HIIT and Foundation Training. Feeling great, sometimes you just need to step off the path.

Love,

Mary

HIIT! High Intensity Interval Training

I didn’t feel in the flow of this workout. The ground is a bit uneven in my backyard, thanks to George the dog.  My hips could have been a bit lower in my jump squats. It doesn’t need to be perfect to do it. Just start. If you are a beginner try for 2 minutes and build up.

I have been adding more HIIT into my week. I include it in every Fit and Fab workout.  I love it. It takes 4 minutes and it is amazing how much better you feel when you are finished. Sometimes, I will turn a 4 minute song on and when the song is over, I am done! Here is a Fun Peppy Song unless you are over it. I would love your musical suggestions.

After my HIIT workout, I like to do Eric Goodman’s Foundation Training.  Some impact is important, helps build strong bones! I am looking for the right balance, too much impact is not a good thing.  Foundation Training, stretches and strengthens all at the same time. Give it a try. It is the perfect way to end a workout.
