My Fitness Journey prepping for Figure Competition
Okay, this weekend was not as good as I wanted it to be! I rocked last week, was right on with my nutrition, did some heavy lifting, and have been so sore!! Then the weekend came and I had an extra cheat meal! YIKESS!!!! This is the time I need to be really strict!! I am about 14 weeks out and I need to get LEANNN!!
Anyways, the extra cheat was good and worth it lol! Now, back in the game!
I got my food prep done and it is so much easier being held accountable!! I am starting my next fitness challenge with my challengers online and I show them how I meal prep, so it keeps me right on track too!! Yes, even myself as a fitness coach needs a little accountability too!!
I am going for pretty much all chicken this week! Lots of green beans, Brussel sprouts, red skin potatoes, sweet potatoes, and fresh berries!! I have my Shakeology for a meal I will add my peanut butter to it along with Recover protein to help with muscle soreness post workouts, so thats another meal I don’t have to worry about that I know I’m getting lots of dense nutrition!!
As I prepped and prepared for the week, I kinda had a little fun with some ingredients I had here.. all healthy but a perfect treat to help those cravings when you got a sweet tooth!!
Here is my newest recipe for my:
Whats really cool about Shakeology is it is a health shake meal replacement, but you can do so much more than just plain shakes to drink!! Turn those superfoods into a healthy alternative to those chocolate cravings!! This is what helps me stay on track, consistent with my healthy eating, and progress to those big goals I have!!
Since I’m prepping for my show, I gave most away, but saved 3 for when Im in need lol!!
- 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology
- 1/2 scoop Beachbody Performance Recovery (or chocolate protein powder)
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
- 3 TBSP Blue Agave
- 3 TBSP Almond Milk
- 1 TBSP Coconut Oil
- 1 TSP Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Soy free, gluten free, dairy free chocolate chunks (found in organic section in grocery store– I use ENJOY LIFE brand)
- Mix first 8 ingredients together in bowl
- Heat last ingredient (chocolate chunks) in pot on stove until melted (or in microwave- approx 2 min)
- After first 8 ingredients are mixed, make balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on cookie sheet on parchment paper
- Put balls in fridge for 15 minutes
- After chocolate is melted, take balls out of fridge and dip using spoon or toothpick so the chocolate covers a light layer around ball and place back on parchment paper.
- Put balls back in fridge for 10 minutes
- If you have remaining chocolate, you can drizzle lightly across balls to add decoration! Make it fancy 🙂 I used a sandwich baggie and added the rest of the melted chocolate in the bag and took out all the air. Cut a very small cut on the corner of the bag so the chocolate slowly drizzles out!
- Put back in fridge for 5 minutes
- Serve and enjoy!!
