No More Stretchy Pants!

Posted in Health, Lifestyle, Motivation by

Ready to fight the lingering Thanksgiving Day bulge?! Join me in a 3 day “Refresh” challenge group when we return from our long weekend. This 3 day program is designed to reduce cravings and bloat, cleanse your body, connect with your body (one of my most favorite parts), AND lose a few inches while setting yourself up for a few weeks of success before the fun begins again!

A few of the questions you may have:
1) What are the benefits of being in an online challenge group?
· You have the support of your peers and those who are facing the same challenges you are.
· I will be there with you 100% guiding and coaching you through each of the days, you will not be alone on this journey.

2) Is this similar to a juice cleanse?
· It is not similar to a juice cleanse. This program allows you to eat healthy fats, fruits, vegetables along with your shakes for breakfast and lunch. As a health coach, I am personally not a fan of juice cleanses and believe this is a much better approach to “cleansing” our bodies.

3) As a certified health coach, is this something that you have tried before and what has been your experience?
· I have! Please visit my online videos from Day 1, 2 and 3, for more details.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3

4) How much does it cost?
· The cost is $69.95 and you can find all the details and what’s included here.

My goal for this challenge is to set you up for success and allow you to recognize the needs of your body. These 3 days will be based on approximately 1500 calories a day and very limited to natural and basic foods. This is your time to commit to yourself for just 3 days to recognize and feel the difference when you feed your body nutritious foods. At the end of the 3 days, I will work with you to determine whether you want to continue in this journey with some support of if you are ready to conquer your health goals on your own. Either way it is completely up to you and I can provide guidance for both options.
*Side note – if you have been thinking of trying Shakeology, this is a great opportunity to do so. Your program is designed to have 1 Shakeology drink a day and it is included. 🙂
Any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Cheers to Mindful Healthy Living!

A few of you have been asking what the next steps are now that I am a Certified Health Coach so I thought I would share an email that I sent out to a few of my closest friends and family that I think summarizes it pretty well.  Sharing now with my blog and facebook family 🙂

”

Dear Friends and Family –

First, I want to say a huge thank you to all of those who have supported me through my health and wellness journey…from my overzealous Facebook posts, to my optimistically valuable blog postings and even through my non-stop willingness to talk about health and fitness, a huge THANK YOU! Secondly, as many of you know, this has been a significant journey for me over the last few years and my passion for preventative health and wellness continues to grow. I am so excited to be sharing some news with you regarding my next steps in this journey.

After receiving my certification in Health Coaching from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, I partnered with a team of like-minded coaches, known as the Wellness Warriors. This team has inspired me and motivated me to continue on this journey and make an impact in the life of others. The Wellness Warriors team is committed to empowering others to live their best life through personalized health & fitness coaching, working together as strong, passionate individuals to help others live a healthy, happy, fulfilling life. To learn more about the team, check us out on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TheWellnessWarriors#!/TheWellnessWarriors.

Furthermore, my intent of this email is to build awareness and visibility of what I am doing to encourage you to reach out if you are looking to take control of your health or if you know someone who is ready for this journey, I would be forever grateful for your recommendation. If you know me, you know I have always been one that loves helping others and to be honest after being in a management position for the past 6 months, I am learning that helping and developing people truly inspires me and makes me feel “alive”.Health coaching is a similar concept and one that I am excited to pursue alongside my full time career!

I have a few different websites right now but my main site is www.mindfulhealthyliving.comand this is where you can follow me, get inspired, catch up on blog postings, new product information, how to schedule a free initial consultation, etc. The second website is my Team Beachbody site, which is the company I am partnering with to leverage my health coaching. I will be recommending and selling products, such as Shakeology which is a meal replacement, done-for-you meal plans, fitness programs and much more.I am here to support health and fitness goals for each and every one of my customers. Feel free to take a look around both sites and please let me know if you have any questions or just want to chat, I would love to talk!

Thank you again for your support and I look forward to the path ahead!

Sincerely,

Lacey Maiman

First 10 Days of Shakeology…

Posted in Beachbody/Shakeology, Health, Lifestyle, Motivation by

If you’ve never tried Shakeology, let alone heard of it, you are likely wondering what it is and does it work? Shakeology is a meal replacement and also known as your daily dose of dense nutrition. After many mornings of making my own shakes, spending tons of money on fresh fruits and vegetables, omega fatty acids, probiotics, chia seeds, and anything else that I thought was good for me to throw in a shake, I decided to give Shakeology a try.

Here are my experiences with it in the last 10 days:

  • It’s WAY more convenient. I blend a scoop of Shakeology, crushed ice, frozen fruit and water into my nutribullet. It takes me a total of 3 minutes from start to finish, including washing out the blender cup and blades. Easy peezy!
  • NO more coffee! This was so much easier giving up with a load of vitamins to recover from the side effects of no coffee. After 2 days, I had no headaches and was feeling good.
  • I notice an increase in energy, specifically after hard workouts.  Prior to drinking Shakeology, I would have intense, hour long workouts and feel completely fatigued the entire day. I have now incorporated a half a shake pre-workout and the other half post-workout and I feel energetic the entire day, no signs of fatigue like I use to feel.
  • I have lost 2 pounds total. Weight loss hasn’t been my intention but rather feeding my body dense nutrition and feeling great is; a small decrease in my weight is just an added bonus. J
  • It’s filling. Shakeology can be used for breakfast, lunch, dinner or for a snack. I have been using it as my breakfast and I drink it at 7:15 in the morning and I don’t feel hungry or need a snack until about 10:30 am. Of course this is going to be different for everybody and depending on your activity level but this is my experience.
  • Improved digestion and regularity.   I have never been that great with “regularity”. In the last 10 days, I have been regular every day and have seen significant improvement on this front.
  • I am sleeping through the night! This is huge for me; I have always been a terrible sleeper. I am now averaging at least 7 hours of sleep a night.

I would encourage you to check out the nutrition facts and what’s in Shakeology, all the information is posted on the website and you can find it here.

Next stop is the 3-Day Refresh cleanse that I am really looking forward to! Stayed tuned for the results!
