Make 2014 Your Year!

Happy New Year to you and your family!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. Ours was nice, it just goes by so quickly, though!
Do you make New Year's Resolutions? I don't. I can barely remember to eat some days, so making year long goals is just not for me. :)
However, I do try to write down a set of daily goals and stick to them. They're pretty much the same everyday, but sometimes I let life get in the way and my goals slip on by.
As a family, our goal is to always make healthy choices that will make a difference in our lives!

So, today I want to share with you the daily goals my husband and I came up with for 2014. Guess what? All these goals are can be used for everyone in the family...even the kiddos!

Also, at the bottom of this post is a special invitation for you! I highly encourage you to check it out and join us!!

Sleep Go to bed earlier to get at least 7 hours of sleep. (This is easy for me. Once the clock hits 10pm, my body says it's time for bed. I'm definitely not a night owl!)

Daily Detox Drink our Detox Lemonade before coffee every morning and take our gentle detoxing supplements before bed. (See photo for Detox Lemonade and supplement information)

Eat Small but Often Eat at least every 3 hours; don't let ourselves get overly hungry (this is a big one for me. I get so caught up with the boys, that I frequently forget to eat lunch!)

Meals and Snacks Eat 3 meals with at least 20g protein AND 6g fiber in EACH meal Eat 2 snacks with at least 5g protein AND 3g fiber PER snack

Water Drink at least half our weight in ounces of water (this is actually easier than it sounds!)

Exercise At least 20 minutes minimum EVERY DAY of either cardio, resistance, or yoga (our local gym has great classes and great childcare so I try to go twice a week to hour long classes. other than that, I do at home workouts while the boys have quiet time using YouTube and FitnessBlender...free!!)
I hope this list helps you think about what YOU want to do to make your 2014 healthier!

Five Day Mini Detox | Join Us!

I love Thanksgiving! Love, love it! 

I can tell that I love it a little too much though...my pants are usually a bit tighter from the constant eating and my energy levels are lower from less exercise. I  am personally a big fan of cleaning out once in a while.  No one is perfect, so this is a great time to start fresh!
Which is why a group of us are doing a Shaklee 180 Mini Detox beginning the second week of December! Who's in? Let's do it together!!
Our Shaklee 180 Mini Detox is a five day cleanse designed to rejuvenate, energize, and remove all the junk from your body! It is natural, safe and it works.
Reset your cravings, feel energized, and maybe even loose a few pounds without going hungry!

The Shaklee 180 Kick Start Detox helps my body let go of the junk it wants to hold on to.

To join us,  you need to purchase at least one canister of your favorite Shaklee 180 Smoothee mix and a box of Shaklee 180 snack bars so you can replace meals and snacks in a healthy way. Our smoothees are so tasty and keep you feeling full throughout the day. Plus, since they're powered by Leucine, your energy levels will stay up and you won't get those sugar cravings! 

Special Note: We highly encourage new folks to join with any Shaklee 180 Kit to take advantage of all the free goodies: FREE membership, FREE Shaklee 180 app, FREE BURST workouts, participate in the 3 for Free program, a chance to win prizes from Shaklee, PLUS the "New You for the New Year" offer! Get up to $100 in FREE Shaklee products when you join with a Shaklee 180 Kit and keep it on Autoship for 3 consecutive months!

The rest of the detox items are listed below. I highly encourage you to purchase them to gain the maximum benefits of this detox program! This detox is specific to Shaklee's natural nutrition supplements. 

~ alfalfa

~ liver dtx

~ herb lax

~ 180 energizing tea

~ 180 smoothees (chocolate and vanilla chai are my current favorites!)

~ 180 snack bars (lemon/cranberry is fantastic!)

~ fresh, cut up veggies for your snacks (I'll be using red bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, jicama, celery, broccoli)

~ water to drink throughout the day

~ almond milk, cows milk, coconut milk, or water for your smoothees

Once you place your order, shoot me an email at jallen44 (at) gmail (dot) com to let me know and I'll add you to our private group page, which details the daily regimen!

I've done these mini detoxes several times this year. It's so much easier than you might think, and I always feel fantastic after getting the junk out of my body!

Our first DETOX CHALLENGE begins Monday Dec 9th, so place your order ASAP so you'll be ready to begin! See you in the forums!

Three Day Mini Cleanse | Getting Back on Track

Hi there!
Today I started a three day mini cleanse. The past two weeks have been off kilter for us. Our youngest son (2 years old) had an accident two weeks ago. Thank the Lord he's a-ok, just missing a few of his teeth! Yikes! It could've been worse, but we're forever thankful it wasn't. Anyway, we had a few stressful days trying to keep him comfortable and feed him foods that were soft so he could eat!
That said, the stress of it all led to stress eating for me, along with totally stopping my workouts! No bueno! My favorite shorts are getting a little snug, I feel sluggish from not having a consistent workout routine...it's time to get back on track!
I do this mini cleanse several times a year, when things come up. It's safe, it's easy, and the best part of all...once I've completed the cleanse, I feel so much better, with more energy...just ready to take it all on!
Now, this cleanse is NOT a weight loss cleanse. It's simply a way to detox my body, get rid of all the bad food (Kincaid's Hamburgers, Mi Cocina queso, a margarita here and there, chocolate chip cookies!) and start fresh, ready to get back on a healthy eating and workout plan!

This is my Day One accountability check in!
Breakfast:  1 "Butterfinger" Shaklee 180 Smoothee. 2 scoops of vanilla 180 mix, about 1 teaspoon of Chocolate PB2, and 8oz of homemade almond milk
Snack: 1 cup grapes, 12 raw almonds
Lunch: 1 Chocolate Shaklee 180 Smoothee. 2 scoops of chocolate 180 mix and 8oz of almond milk. I also take my Vitalizer strip. I have to wait til I've been up for awhile before taking my vitamins!  (Note: I get the Lean & Healthy 180 Kit, which has 2 containers of Smoothee mixes and the Vitalizer! It's set up on autoship so it arrives at the same time every month and I don't have to think about it. I get mine for free...and you can too!)
Snack:  1 organic string cheese, 1 clementine orange
Dinner: Small piece of grilled chicken, about a cup of mixed grilled veggies
Water: 65oz (a good trick to make sure you're getting enough is to divide your weight in half. That's how many ounces you'll need each day)
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

I also did 20 minutes of HIIT (high intensity interval training). It wasn't 20 straight minutes because the boys kept interrupting me, but I got it all in eventually!
Today was HARD for me. I've gotten so used to the unhealthy eating, that my body was like, "What? No cookies today?" I also had a headache for awhile, but after drinking all my water, it finally flushed out!
I don't expect to lose any weight, but I'm certain my favorite shorts are going to fit better by Wednesday night! I'll be back tomorrow with Day 2 Accountability Check In!
