Love Yourself: February Challenge

boy is it not about being perfect, y'all.. if it was, I would be a failure.

wellness is about giving yourself grace- embracing your flaws and shortcoming, but seeking balance each day & doing your personal BEST.

one of my deepest desires as a coach is for women to find balance by making their wellness (mind + body + spirit) a priority.

-it's not selfish to take 30 minutes a day to exercise..

-well rounded nutrition isn't for people with excess money/time on their hands..

-and it's certainly not vanity to pursue a healthier you.

Getting back to the BASICS of fitness and nutrition each day, believe it or not, CAN make you a better wife.. girlfriend.. mother.. daughter ..sister ..friend ..student ..employee.. the list goes on.

I don't create groups each month for perfectionist. I don't provide you with a magical overnight solution. I AM providing you with tools and an environment for you to learn to LOVE yourself, >better< care for those around you and to create a sustainable lifestyle that honors the One who gave you life in the first place.

the focus of my february accountability group is this..

progress not perfection.

LOVE yourself by caring for your temple.

Give yourself GRACE & find BALANCE.

22 Minute Hard Corps Week FOUR Sneak Peek {video}

You better BELIEVE that once our test group got the approval to share bits of our workouts on video that I hit the record button.

It's one thing for me to just TELL you what these workouts are like and to show an occasional photo.. but it's a whole other thing to SEE them in action.

One of the things I LOVE about this program, besides the fact that it's only 22 Minutes a day #holler , is that this program is created for FUNCTIONAL fitness.

You're welcome to go to the gym and work on machines that target one part of your body at a time, but I prefer a workout that's going to exercise on the WHOLE thing.

In just shy of 4 weeks, working out for 22 minutes a day, I've seen muscle definition from my neck down to my ankles. The scale might not be moving much, but that's because the MASS of my body is transforming from fat --> to muscle.

The simple nutrition plan is FUELING my body with EXACTLY what it needs to function at max capacity, while allowing me to lean out... no starving. Just BALANCE & discipline.

I'm sore, but in a good {rewarding} way. I'm NOT skimping on food, but actually eating 5-6 times a day. I'm not doing some magical wrap or supplement combination that's going to give me immediate {non-lasting} results.. I'm WORKING hard each day, giving myself grace to do my very best & finding balance. 

THAT is how results are happening.

This program makes sense y'all & is going to be SUCH an awesome addition to your home library.

#GETSOME

Fix APPROVED, Healthy Avocado Dressing

I LOVE a good salad, especially when I'm on a meal plan requiring lots of veggie intake- like the container system that's a part of the 21 Day Fix, Hammer & Chisel and even similar to that of 22 Minute Hard Corps (releasing March of 2016).

HOWEVER, I do most definitely get tired of just using a simple vinegar or vinaigrette day in and day out.. I mean, I'm a recovering Ranch-aholic, y'all.. #thestruggleisreal

Fortunately, this recipe came in my 21 Day Fix meal plan/cookbook and I'm sharing it today with YOU as a tried and true delicious concoction!

What the portion fix meal plan refers to as Creamy Herb Dressing, I refer to as a Healthy Avocado Greek Yogurt dressing because of the star players in this mash up.

Ingredients:

1/2 C Plain Greek Yogurt

1 Ripened Avocado

3 Tsp Lemon Juice

1/4 C EVOO

S&P

Dried OR Fresh Herbs

(all I had was dill, tarragon, garlic, parsley & basil)

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients but olive oil in blender and blend until smooth. Slowly add in EVOO until you achieve creamy consistency. And that's it.. really, y'all!

This recipe makes about 10+ servings and if you're following a meal plan using the color coded container system I mentioned above, one serving is considered an ORANGE container.

I put this on top of a salad yesterday with grilled chicken, mixed greens, organic salsa and shredded cheese & it was just UH-mazing.

FYI: If you have avocados at home to make this dressing, but they aren't ripe yet... hop on over to THIS post where I explain HOW to ripen those puppies up asap!

Love YOURSELF, February Challenge

We've all heard it before that you can't love the people around you the way they should be loved, if you don't first love yourself.. this means accepting your flaws and caring for yourself spiritually, mentally & physically.

Are you doing this? Are you giving yourself GRACE? Are you maintaining balance in your life? Are you being the best wife, mom, teacher, student, friend, employee you can be because you've made >yourself< a priority?

In February, I want to help *10 women* love themselves again.. to love & appreciate the body+life God's given them through discipline, balance, commitment & positivity.

This journey isn't free, it's GOING to require an investment.. both of your time and resources. But I can tell you this, if you commit & truly give it your all, you WILL experience results and be a better woman at the end of our time together.

Ask yourself this.. are you worth it?

Yes.You.Are.

So how does this work?

The 10 women who choose to join me in February will be part of a PRIVATE, online group of women only. These women come from ALL different backgrounds, different states (even countries) and no two look alike! We are unique individuals finding common ground through the pursuit of wellness.

What's your commitment?

-Give me just 30 minutes of your day to complete workouts from the comfort, privacy and convenience of your own home.

-Learn how to fuel your body with a simple meal plan that DOESN'T leave you starving and doesn't require you to count calories.

-Be willing to be vulnerable and transparent with an incredible group of women who need you as much as you need us.

-Commit to drinking a nutrient dense shake once a day that is going to fill your nutritional deficiencies.. oh and tastes like a milkshake

This challenge starts on February 8th and these first come first serve spots are *limited.* If you've been waiting for an opportunity and looking for a sign.. this is it, girlfriend.

I'm not look for ladies who are half in.. not sure about change. I'm looking to dive IN with women who are READY to embrace change and LOVE themselves to better serve the ones they care for.

I've helped many women reach their goals and be PROUD of themselves again.. I'd LOVE to help you do the same. If you're interested, drop your email below for additional information OR send me an email directly to lindseykollar@yahoo.com .

And how about this? Do all of those amazing women in your life a favor and share this blog post with them.

Time to LOVE YOURSELF, ladies.
