Busy veterinarian finds her focus

Kris, Focus T25 Challenger, Lost 15 Pounds in 10 Weeks

A few years ago, I started noticing I was gaining weight.  It started as just a few pounds here and there but it turned into buying new clothes to fit when my old ones didn’t.  After I jumped yet another size, I decided to make a change.

My friend, Lindsay, was doing workouts at home and she looked great.  I always thought, “There is no way that I have time to meal plan and workout.”  I asked her about it a few times, but was never ready to commit, until I again went up another size. 

Being a busy veterinarian, my schedule is unpredictable.  I am “on call” a lot and it’s always been a struggle to have a consistent schedule, so I was pretty nervous about trying something new.  I didn’t think that I could stick to something long-term without falling off the wagon.  I spoke to Lindsay about how to do this.  She laid out a roadmap for nutrition, suggested a workout program that would fit into my crazy schedule and plugged me into a private support group with other women just like me.  I was in and committed!

BUT WOW, was I in for some hard work.  My first few weeks I really struggled.  I was hungry, I was exhausted and I was not losing weight.  I wanted to quit.  I told Lindsay this wasn’t going to work for me, but she encouraged me to stick with it and to do the best that I could do.  My amazing support group was also rooting for me.  Every time I was struggling I turned to my group.  Instead of feeling defeated, I felt inspired.  They always had helpful suggestions and words of encouragement.  Over time, I learned how to live my new lifestyle.  I was no longer hungry and exhausted, but motivated by positive changes of healthy eating and exercise.

 Bottom line, I never gave up! It was not always easy.  I cheated, I got lazy, but I stuck with it.  10 weeks later, I was down 15 pounds.  My journey still continues and while I still struggle with my nutrition and finding time to workout on a consistent basis, my support group has been a major reason why I haven’t given up.  This accountability has been HUGE for me.

It's About Time - October 7th!!!

I am STOKED about Focus T25!  Seriously!  This program is a game changer!  I created MomTime Café because life is always a juggling act and what mom isn’t on the quest for more time?? THE biggest hurdle is NOT working out. What I hear from busy moms is “I don’t have TIME to work out”.  And, I’m with you!  I used to say the same thing!!!  Plus, we tell ourselves lies like "now that I'm a mom my body will never look good again".  But, now there is a program designed JUST for you and one that will get you the results you’ve been longing for!

So, it’s time to answer all the questions I’ve been getting about this new program and what can it do for you. 

Here's the lowdown.

 
What is Focus T25?
 

T25 is the newest in-home fitness program designed to deliver an hour’s worth of results in just 25 minutes!  The program includes 9 different workout DVDs. Each workout is 25 minutes long and you work out just five days a week!   Can I get an "amen?"  The program is 10 weeks long. 

What are the workouts like?
The workouts are fast-paced routines that are jammed pack with dynamic, high-intensity moves designed for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Do I need special equipment?
No.

Who is this program designed for?

Busy people who want to work out in less time, but still get GREAT results.

I'm a newbie. Can a beginner do this program?
Yes!  Each 25-minute workout includes a person doing a modified version of the exercises.  This “modifier” takes out the “high intensity” from the exercises.  So, for example, if you have knee trouble, you can watch that person do the modified move which keeps the exercise low impact.  This is designed to keep you safe and gives a beginner a good place to start.

I am a seasoned workout pro. Will this program challenge me?
Absolutely!  Any time you mix up your fitness routine, you are confusing your muscles and creating new change for your body.  

Only 25 minutes?  I’m used to longer workouts.  Can I get a good calorie burn with these workouts?
Yes!  If you are a woman, you can expect to burn on average 300 calories or more per workout depending on your level of intensity. 

This program sounds cool, but how can I trust I can get results?
Great question!  This program was designed by Shaun T, creator of Insanity and Hip Hop Abs. All the workouts are designed to give users the best possible results.  Shaun T’s personal training and coaching take the guesswork out.  He tells you EXACTLY what to do and when to do it.  Plus, you get me as your personal coach supporting your journey!  Did you happen to see my fellow coach's results? 

 
So I know working out alone doesn't get someone killer results, so what do I eat on this program?
Glad you asked!  How about a dense daily dose of superfood nutrition?  Yes!  Shakeology is the vital component to your results. Replace one meal a day with Shakeology and curb cravings, increase your energy and give your body the fuel it needs!  The program also comes with a no-nonsense nutrition guide with ideas for the busy person in mind!  Shakeology flavors come in Chocolate, Tropical Strawberry, Greenberry and just out, Vanilla which I’m calling Vanill-Amazing!

Just Give Me 10 Days

Need a jump start with your health and fitness?  Or maybe just a place to start?

I have a few questions for you:

1. Do you have a hard time sticking to working out or a healthy diet for longer than a week or two? 
2.  Do you struggle to figure out what are healthy foods to eat?
3. Have you been at a weight loss plateau and not sure what to do differently?
4. Do you have a job that requires you to sit all day?
5. Are you so scared to make a change with your health that it has paralyzed you and you cannot make a decision on your next step?
6. Are you a busy mom who struggles to find time to be healthy?

If you answered “YES” to any of the questions above, I feel you!  I have been there.  We are not too different, you and I!  I encourage you to keep reading.   

The 10 Day Challenge might be for you!

So, I get lots of questions on my challenge groups and since the 10 Day challenge is by far my favorite kind of challenge, I want to take a second to explain it a bit.

What is a 10 Day Challenge?

The 10 Day Challenge is 80% centered around nutrition awareness.  Since 80% of weight loss and fitness results come from what you eat, the challenge focuses on eating from a healthy and delicious meal plan.  We talk about meal planning, clean eating and what that means, how to navigate through the grocery store, what are good vs. bad things to eat, tracking calories and how often you should eat. Think Healthy Eating 101 – beginner basics.    

Where can I do this Challenge?

The 10 Day Challenge group all happens through a private “group” in Facebook.  You can participate in the challenge anywhere in the U.S.

Who might benefit from a 10 Day Challenge?

Anyone can join.  I am a busy, working mom of two, so I typically coach other moms who are trying to balance a busy life and desire to make some positive changes in their health and fitness. 

How much is it to participate?

$60.00.  Your kit includes a 10 day supply of Shakeology, an easy and delicious meal plan created by my team of coaches, personal coaching from me and a private facebook group with built-in support and accountability.

This sounds interesting, when does the next group start?

I run 10 Day Challenges quite often.  Just fill out the form to let me know of your interest and I’ll be sure to follow up with you to make sure this is the right fit for you.

Bottom line, you are always going to be busy and never have enough time in the day.  The first step to a new you is to simply DECIDE that today is going to be different than all the days in the past.  That you’re no longer going to wait around for a sign to do something for you.  Consider this post your “sign”.  I believe beyond the words that I type that YOU ARE WORTH IT!  You have all the resources inside of you to achieve your dreams. I would love to help, if you let me.
