Introducing CIZE: The End of Exercise

Have you ever thought about fitness and losing weight and thought, "MAN, I despise working out!"?

I can tell you that although I am an online heath and fitness coach, that I have had these same thoughts go through my head here and there. I don't always like the run, jump, and lift weights. And I know I'm not the only one.


If you are like that where either you just don't like working out, period, or you are someone who likes to switch things up and make fitness FUN, then you are seriously in for a treat!


It is time for you to DANCE your way to a rockin' bod - and have fun doing it!

Official CIZE Preview Video
 CIZE is being released on JULY 20th - the day after I get back from the biggest coaching event of the year! (LIKE + Follow my Facebook for the quickest scoop on what we are doing in NASHVILLE!)

CIZE is a DANCE program that the creator, Shaun T, literally breaks every move down for you so that anyone can do this program. And I'm telling you-it's been a LONG time since I've danced like this. I did competition dance back in the day for many years, but was never good at hip hop and won't claim to be!

My first CIZE experience was at work!
And MAN, did I sweat!
Each workout is literally a break down of learning a dance to some of the latest music that Shaun has picked out himself. Each workout is roughly 35-45 minutes in length and the program is 4 weeks long. And no worries, if you want to extend the length of this program.... YOU CAN! Master the moves, dance your heart away and get even more results.

Now, you're probably wondering how this is going to help you get results?! Dancing doesn't give you that great of a workout, does it? WRONG! Dancing is fantastic for you and really gives you some great definition/toning along with fantastic cardio. I mean, LOOK at these results from a fellow coach!

However, to really help you out, the nutrition plan for size uses the same portion control container system to take the guesswork out of your diet - if you even want to call it a diet! The portion control system has changed so many lives in the last 2 years and is seriously fool-proof!

 Here is the best part.... I am launching the very first CIZE test group! What is that?
Wellllll..... It is a private accountability group hosted through Facebook where we are going to be among the first people doing this program!

We are going to keep each other accountable to our program and work together to reach our goals. We are going to support each other through the ups and downs of our lifestyle change journey. This is a daily accountability group that we are going to check into to make sure we are all getting the most out of our CIZE experience. There are going to be contests and lots of fun and friends to be made in this group! I haven't been so excited about a new program launch in a VERY long time!

The 21 Day Fix Misconception

The first time I heard about the 21 Day Fix and some color-coded containers showing me how much I was allowed to eat, I was upset. I thought if I ate healthy, that I didn't need to measure out the amounts. In hindsight, I realize that OF COURSE the amount matters, but I had no idea. I came from a life of processed foods and no concept of what eating clean and healthy truly was (other than vegetables, I've always liked vegetables).
While I waited for my package to arrive, I looked up reviews online. They were super mixed and I read the bad ones, because I was nervous that I made the wrong decision! People said that they gained weight even though they followed the meal plan to a "T". Now I'm like.... Great. Now what did I get myself into. I kept it to myself and decided I was still going to give it a shot because I just needed to do something and I was looking forward to the workouts.

THEN I get my package in the mail and I look at these little containers and am SO nervous about starving, like was I REALLY supposed to eat my days worth of food out of these TINY containers? I decided to give it a week and then say I'm totally done. I'll just do the workouts.

Boy was I WRONG!!!!! First of all, you get multiple of each colored container each day (the number depending on where you are currently at with your weight, and should be recalculated after each round) and they each stood for something different (fruits, vegetables, grains, fats, oils, protein). 

Meal prep was actually a lot of fun and I didn't have to think a lot about it with the way I decided to do it (Blog post for another day) but I just portioned out according to the containers and didn't have to actually measure anything. 

On the first day I couldn't believe how much food I was supposed to eat. Not only were my meals a decent size, but I was allotted 2-3 snacks EVERY day! I had to actually tell myself that it was time to eat. With the water intake you are supposed to have (half your body weight in ounces), I was also staying fuller longer. With drinking the Shakeology, I was actually full for about 3-4 hours and it stabilized my energy so I didn't have my usual late morning crash.

As the weeks went on, it got easier for me to do the meal plan and I actually was eating all the food and still getting results. I was ecstatic. The Fix has literally been a lifestyle and I can't imagine not following that meal plan EVER, I've even tried. It just works for me and is so practical.

At the end of 30 days, I had lost 10 pounds and I never measured inches (BIG mistake). 

I am in love with the 21 Day Fix and I have found that it teaches everyone something new and we can all improve somewhere.
Checking off colored containers on a list is much more fun than checking of the vegetable list anyway.
