Healthy Families
Words Of Encouragement
This is an inspirational story that any parent should read...
One of the best benefits of learning how to eat to fuel my body, as a mom, was learning what a healthy plate looks like. At Tony Horton Fitness Camps in the days of old, Tony used to talk about the important fuels for your body: lean protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
When we first started on this health and fitness journey, I cleaned out all my cupboards and fridge of the bad stuff that I’d allowed to creep in, and replaced it with the healthy stuff listed in my new food journal provided with the Team Beachbody Club. That was a big deal for me, because it was a commitment with my pocketbook! I used the expression “Say no to yourself once: at the grocery store!” that I’d learned from another member in my Beachbody Challenge Group. That saying made sense to me, and I wanted to teach my kids the same thing. Rather than me having m&m’s in a bag that they ask me for 10 times throughout the day, not even having them on the shelves was a few less “no”’s I had to tell my kids. It helped me get creative in making the snacks fun, and the meals tasty!My kids really resisted at first. Well, the older ones. They were grumpy that the junk food they’d grown accustomed to were no longer an option. Oh, I’m all about moderation, and they still had desserts, and sweet foods, but I changed their options for the more healthy counterparts: Fat free yogurt instead of go-gurts, lime Perrier (“bubble water”) in place of soda, thin crust, light cheese & veggie pizza instead of the thick crust, oozing cheese pepperoni pizza’s of old. We had tons of different fruits, and instead of calorie laden casserole’s we had grilled chicken, lots of veggies and instead of white rice, we had whole grain rice and quinoa and bulgar. Havent tried em? Neither had I until I found the Beachbody Club and then I was hooked on these new flavors! In fact, my kids actually (and this is the truth!) used to say “Brussel Sprouts? Yay! Thanks Mom!” It sounds so fake and cheeseball, but they really love brussel sprouts – a veggie I’d never made before then. Because the truth is, healthy foods DO taste good, and its possible to re-train our habits and taste buds.
Oh, we still have soda, and ice cream every now and again, just not every day or week, and you know what? My kids are healthy, strong, and adjusted. So be encouraged if you are just starting on your journey to a healthier family – with time and consistency, and open, honest communication, ie: “I cant in good conscience give to you what I know now to be so unhealthy for you, son.” your kids WILL adjust and when they’re adults they’ll thank you. When they do, you can pat yourself on the back knowing you did the hard, but right thing by your family!
What To Expect?
Fitness Journal Example
Day Two of P90X/Plyometrics
Up at 5 am again. I am going to need to go to bed earlier, as it was not nearly as easy to roll out of bed this morning!
Took my supps, fried KC his eggwhites before he was out the door to work, set up my living room to look like "My Gym", signed on to WOWY “Online Super Gym” and then pressed play. I don't get to work out with music, as my kids are all asleep down the hall, and I have to keep the volume VERY low and do all my hopping, jumping, grunting, and straining as quietly as possible.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE PlyometriX!! It works your legs something fierce, but all in good fun, and I love having new moves to learn. One thing about ME: I am pretty competitive, so I really try to keep up not only with the girls, but with the boys. (NO ONE can keep up with Tony Horton - every good competitor knows when they are outmatched!) Some sound advice I got before this workout: "Don't go at it like an animal or you won't walk tomorrow". So I started out with those intentions. That lasted about 30 seconds. I was having so much fun the time flew as I worked my body like crazy in this routine. But not beyond safety and keeping good form; just a good hard workout that ROCKS!!The inside tip of the day:
"THINK CATWOMAN; NOT CRAZY WOMAN".
Soft landing is the name of the game so our knees that have recovered from the SQUAT NAZI Debbie Sieber’s Slim in 6 will not be sore again!!
I am so excited to be going through this with all of you! It's just a CRAZY program that will whip our bodies into tip top shape come day 90. And the fun of doing it alone in your house is that you really are competing with yourself. Yes, there are those on the tape who we compete with each time, but it's a personal best against them. And no one standing next to you to make you feel less because you can't keep up with them. In the flesh. It's a beautiful thing, this home fitness idea. And then we pick back up our living room and no one is the wiser to our private fitness sessions, except that our sweatshirts are starting to bulge in the arms.
I've got someone coming for a haircut in a few minutes and I still have yet to take a quick shower. A good hot shower sounds good for my worked body right about now!! Check back in to see if I'm able to walk tomorrow!? I'm up a for a GREAT day today, after a BLAST of a start!!
Is it tomorrow yet?????
Bring it!

Geigerrig Hydration Engine Review
Let me start by saying that the Geigerrig Hydration Engine is the best Hydration Bladder that I have ever used. It is way better than any Camelbak, or any other kind of hydration bladder backpack combo. I have 2 Camelbakbrand hydration packs and my Geigerrig is a vast improvement in all aspects.
I have the 3 liter 100 oz Bladder. I didn't buy one of the full rigs as I already had multiple Camelbak and Nike bags that the bladder would fit into. I also found a great deal at TheClymb. Check them out and use this affiliate link if you want to get access to the site. If you just go and register you will have to be put on a wait list before they give you access to the site. I have since purchased just a Geigerrig 1600 bag with no bladder off of a user on ebay because I love the product and company so much.
The first thing that I love about this bladder is the fact that it is pressurized and the water actually sprays into your mouth and you don't have to suck on the straw to get the fluid out of the bladder. This sounds super lazy but for anyone who has ever had to suck on their camel straws about 20 miles into a run or in the middle of an all day bike trip or hike then you know that every bit of energy is crucial. This saves you that extra energy. In addition the spray feature allows for you to spray yourself off with a mini-shower or allows for you to hydrate your dog friend on a hot day.
The second thing that I love about the Geigerrig is how easy it is to clean. The design is genius. When you are ready to clean the rig you take the bladder, remove the straw, and turn the bladder inside out (which is impossible with any other bladder on the market.) Once the bladder is inside out you can wash it off and hang it to dry. Although I have never needed to do this, you can even put the bladder in the dish washer. This makes this thing so much easier to clean and dry out. And unlike the other bladders on the market, this will prevent the bladder from growing mold. Before this bladder, I can't tell you how many times I have had to clean out the mold in my other bladders. It takes forever, and then you still forever feel like you are drinking mold...not cool.
Another Super Rad feature of the Geigerrig is the optional In-Line Filter. This allows you to fill up your bladder in a river lake or stream and will filter out all the bad junk that would normally make someone sick. I have actually been in a desperate situation where I was seriously contemplating drinking from a small creek because we had run outta water and did not know how soon we would be able to find water. Luckily we forged ahead and found a gas station nearby and we were able to purchase some Gatorade. I never want to be in that situation again so I purchased the In-Line Filter just in case I am ever in that situation again. There have even been some people who actually urinate in their bladders and then use the filter to stay hydrated. Hopefully it never comes to that but it is nice to have that piece of mind that I have the option of using the In-Line Filter if I need to do so.
I also purchased the optional insulated drink tube. I like the spray nozzle on the insulated tube better than the one that came with the bladder. The original one had a twist knob to open the valve. The insulated drink tube has a tip that you pull out to open the valve. It is much easier to bit the nozzle and pull on it all in one motion than to say take your hands off of the bike handlebars and twist the knob of the original tube. I also really like that the insulated tube has a large plastic cover to cover up the mouthpiece. I don't anticipate having to use this for my purposes but I can see how it might come in handy in a beach or desert situation where sand could potentially get on the mouthpiece and then make its way to your mouth when you drink. It's another feature that is "nice to have" for me just in case. Also the main reason for getting the Insulated tube is so that the water in your tube doesn't freeze or get really hot depending on what your surroundings happen to be. The neoprene insulation works great to regulate the temperature of the water in the tube.
In the end, I pieced together my Geigerrig. Mainly because I had previously spent a lot of money on the other Hydration systems and didn't want to waste them. If I had it to do again I would just go all in on a new Geigerrig. I will definitely purchase another for my wife soon and I have and will continue to recommend their products to all of my mountain biking and running friends.
Overall Rating: 2 thumbs up, 5 stars. 10 out of 10 and all that jazz.
I LOVE THIS THING! Great Design, Great Product, Great Company!
*It's important to note that I do not work for Geigerrig or have any affiliation with the company. I am just someone who discovered their great products and became an instant fan!!
