So happy to see you again. Wishing you more happy health!

med102699_0307_blkforest_lBlack Forest Shake

1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology powder

4 oz. almond milk

6 oz. water

1 tsp. cherry extract

Add to a blender with ice to suit and blend until thick and frosty! YUMM!

If you love Black Forest Cake – consider trying this Shakeology recipe.  Maybe this will help you make the decision to ditch the cake for the shake:

1 average piece of Black Forest Cake = approximately 600 calories and 25 grams of fat!

1 Black Forest Shakeology Shake = 180 calories and less than 2 grams of fat!!

The calorie and fat grams in this shake is sooo low, you could even add in a few frozen cherries and use 8 ounces of almond milk and 2 ounces of water or low-fat milk.

RevAbs by Beachbody

RevAbs is a 90-day program with trainer Brett Hoebel that incorporates cardio and strength training with unique ab/core work to burn the fat off your midsection and your body while you work your abs, revealing lean, defined abs and a tight, toned body. It’s the ONLY ab-training system designed to burn off the fat and give you a six-pack in just 90 days.

Don’t give up. Rev it up.

I want to know when RevAbs is available!

It’s not your fault if sit-ups and crunches haven’t produced results. You need more. You need RevAbs™, the only ab system that burns fat to give you a six-pack in 90 days. It’s the most comprehensive and effective ab workout program ever put on DVD.

RevAbs will work your abdominal muscles from six different angles, not just one or two. Plus, you’ll burn fat and calories with cardio intervals and boost your metabolism with total-body training.

Every second of every RevAbs exercise works your abs and burns fat. You’ll make every move count and get a RevAbs result: the fast, focused way to get the abs you’ve always wanted.

Watch this video and let me know if you want me to contact you as soon as RevAbs is available.  All of the new Beachbody fitness programs fly off the shelves as soon as they are release and it helps if you have a Team Beachbody Coach who can alert you when we get notified it is available.  When Insanity, the most recent fitness program was released, the Beachbody servers crashed as there were too many orders coming in at the same time.  It truly was Insane!  I cannot wait for RevAbs!

How will you spend your calories?

Nobody wants to feel deprived and yet many of us go on strict calorie-reduced diets that leave us feeling hungry, agitated and unhappy.  Let’s STOP that!  It is important to incorporate healthy snacks into your nutrition plan to help you feel more satisfied and energetic throughout your busy day.  Not all snacks are created equal though.  Below you will find comparisons between snack options.  The point here is that with a little knowledge and planning, you can enjoy snacks that are healthy, more filling and satisfying.
