THE STEP BY STEP PLAN ON HOW TO ASSEMBLE THIS MEAN PREP:
  1. Place 3/4 cup plain lowfat Greek yogurt in a food storage container. Top with one cup mixed berries (or other fresh fruit). Serve with one whole-grain, frozen waffle that has been thawed or toasted.
  2. Prepare smoothie bags for your Shakeology snack. Measure 1/2 cup each of strawberries and blueberries, 1 cup of spinach, and 3 tsp. nut butter into a bag and refrigerate. You do not need to remove the leafy strawberry tops; they blend up perfectly, just like the spinach does. You can also measure out the nut butter when you make your shake, if you prefer. To prepare you smoothie, pour one pre-portioned smoothie bag into a blender with Shakeology, water, and ice, then blend.
  3. Fill five plastic bags or small containers with 12 raw almonds. Arrange five small food containers and place 3/4 cup cottage cheese into each. Top each with 1/2 cup cucumber slices and 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes. For extra flavor, these can be topped with pepper, smoked paprika, hot sauce, or balsamic vinegar if desired.
  4. Place one cup spinach (or lettuce) into each of three food containers. Top each with 1/4 chopped yellow bell pepper, 1/4 cup shredded carrots, two sliced radishes, 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, and 1/2 cup frozen, shelled edamame. Divide 12 oz. sliced deli turkey evenly between the containers. Serve with your favorite vinaigrette and an orange (or apple).
  5. Use a spiralizer or follow these instructions to to make noodles out of two zucchinis: Using a vegetable peeler, cut each zucchini into lengthwise strips about 1/8 inch thick. Turn each zucchini slightly after cutting each strip to work evenly around the outside, stopping when you hit the seeds at the core. Discard cores. Cut slices lengthwise into 1/2-inch ribbons. Divide zucchini noodles evenly between two food containers. Top each with one fully cooked chicken sausage, 3/4 cup marinara sauce, and 10 olives. When it’s time to eat, heat for two to three minutes in a microwave. Serve with one yellow container filled with whole grain crackers.
  6. Prepare tuna salad for pita sandwiches. In a medium bowl combine three cans of tuna, drained, one can of white beans that have been drained and rinsed, the rest of the chopped yellow bell pepper (about 1/4 pepper), three chopped green onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with two Tbsp. olive olive and two Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, and stir to combine. Prepare three food containers each with 1 cup spinach (or lettuce). Divide tuna mixture evenly between the containers and place in refrigerator. When it’s time to eat, stuff the tuna and lettuce into two halves of a whole grain pita. It’s best to keep the pita separate from the tuna salad until it’s time to eat to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
  7. Fill two food containers each with 1 1/2 cups of shredded lettuce. In a medium bowl, combine one cup canned black beans that have been drained and rinsed, one cup frozen corn, one cup halved cherry tomatoes, four tsp. olive oil, and as much cilantro as you want. Divide bean mixture evenly between the two containers. Chop two cooked chicken breasts (or rotisserie chicken breasts), divide evenly between the containers and place in the fridge. OPTION: Instead of eating this dish as a salad, omit the corn, and when it’s time to eat, wrap all ingredients in a whole grain tortilla.

What is CIZE? + My Meal Plan, Grocery List, & Tips On Getting Started!

Friday, April 1, 2016



My CIZE Meal Plan, Grocery List, & Tips On Getting Started!
 
 
So, before I get into it, let me just say that dancing is NOT my thing.
 
I know most people love dancing, they love going out to dance, they love having friends over to dance, they love going to dance, etc. I am definitely not like most people when it comes to this subject. Call me crazy but it's not my favorite thing. In fact, for the longest time dancing was even my biggest fear! Say what?! Yes, I was TERRIFIED of dancing. Why? It just made me feel really uncomfortable and I always felt like everyone was watching me. Silly, I know.
 
Anyways, when Beachbody first announced that CIZE would be coming out summer 2015 I was not that excited about it. Why would I be?
 
However, because I have loved every other Beachbody program ever created I decided to just give it a try even if I was scared to do it. I ordered the program the day it was released. I told myself I'd be okay with it just doing it by myself, in my own home, in my own living room, and with all my curtains closed so no one was able to see it.
 
I pushed play for the first time and holy cow, what the heck just happened? I had a freaking BLAST! Where did that come from?! I totally was NOT expecting that! I literally smiled the ENITRE TIME! The moves were all broken down step by step and with each new move we started over from the top again. It was paced just right so it was confusing and I was falling in love by the minute. The moves are just everyday ordinary moves that you do all the time anyway, Shaun T just puts those simple moves together to create the dance. I had so much fun doing it I didn't even realize how much I was sweating! The songs are up beat songs we all know from the radio and it's just hands down a whole ton of fun!
 
I was completely shocked by this program considering my very strong non-love for dancing. It's a lot of fun for the whole family so you can get the kids involved too! If I can do it, anyone can!
 

 
 
 
What is CIZE?
CIZE is a dance program for everyone and makes exercize something to look forward to! Professional choreographer and trainer Shaun T breaks down dance courses step-by-step, move-by-move, so that anyone can dance their way to fit in just 4 weeks.
 
CIZE may be the end of exercize—but it’s not the end of hard work! CIZE keeps you moving the whole time by constantly introducing new moves that give you cardio training, strengthen your core, and tone every muscle—all at once! You’ll be so in the zone mastering the moves, you’ll forget you’re working out—and getting in the best shape of your life! The more you get into it, the more you get out of it! Plus, as the courses progress, they get more challenging. And that means more moving, more sweating, and more calories burned!

In CIZE, anyone can hit the floor and dance on Day 1 and get fit in just 4 weeks. Each CIZE course breaks down a professionally choreographed dance routine step by step then puts the sequences together so you can perform the whole dance to a song from the CIZE music playlist. The routines get more challenging mentally and physically as the courses progress. But mastering the routines is so much fun, you forget you’re actually working out!
 
 
Can you stream CIZE workouts?
When you purchase CIZE and become a Premium Team Beachbody Club member, you’ll get unlimited access to Beachbody On Demand, where you can stream CIZE and hundreds of proven Beachbody workouts via any desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device—wherever you have an Internet connection. Just look for “Purchased Programs” in Beachbody On Demand to stream your CIZE workouts
 
 

 
 
Is CIZE for you?
 
Do you…
Want to get in shape and want to have fun doing it?
If you’re tired of squats, lunges, push-ups, and boring cardio, then this program is for you. We teach you the hottest choreographed dance routines to make losing weight and getting fi t an incredible, exhilarating experience! 
Want to learn how to dance?
Can you tap your foot to the beat while you listen to music? Do you ever sing along to your favorite song? Then you can absolutely learn how to dance—and get in shape—by following Shaun T as he breaks down each routine into simple, doable steps.
Have a dance experience already?
Shaun T went back to his roots as a backup dancer to create these dance courses. The choreography will challenge you—and teach you new moves along the way!
Want to workout with your family?
Ever watch shows with your family and see dancers in music videos or television shows and say, “I wish I could do that?” Well now you can—together! Just stick with Shaun—he’ll teach you and your family the moves you see on TV. Plus, you’ll get down to the hottest music originally recorded by artists like Ariana Grande, Timbaland, Bruno Mars, and more!
