It has been freezing cold here lately but, so happy that the sun is shining today. We are leaving for Cancun on a paid vacation with Beachbody in 2 weeks and I have been busy working on my bikini body. As a mother of three I honestly never thought I would be confident to wear a bikini again but,  nourishing my body with healthy foods and dedicating time to my fitness has paid off.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been following the 21 day fix extreme diet with Beachbody and I think that my results speak for themselves. I love what the carb cycling has done for my body. I have been very diligent about my meal planning and meal prep on this program and sticking to the 30 minute workouts. I had gained around 10 pounds over the winter months so had some fat to shed. This program is perfect for anyone that wants to take their results to the next level or if you have an event to attend and want to look your best.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Qh4uyvYH6TM3TOh4vWN_zyvKq7G0BBNBgu7jCcLKcZCdKjaJOS6EK3Injk1N9CGQ3oyPzY1nkbITpw55ForwoRh70ncFYq-EGI2DZ3OifMGfT5by7s2OPRrPyTTbXLNgaw7HHmSVjrUe/s1600/22389_10206604857825855_8098611101860880095_n+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Qh4uyvYH6TM3TOh4vWN_zyvKq7G0BBNBgu7jCcLKcZCdKjaJOS6EK3Injk1N9CGQ3oyPzY1nkbITpw55ForwoRh70ncFYq-EGI2DZ3OifMGfT5by7s2OPRrPyTTbXLNgaw7HHmSVjrUe/s1600/22389_10206604857825855_8098611101860880095_n+(1).jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This weekend I did some shopping for some new bikinis to add to my arsenal and am so excited to wear them on my upcoming spring and summer vacations and at the pool with my kids.

I have always wanted to own a white swim suit but, am afraid that it will be see through. I think the pineapple design is just so adorable. Not to mention the tassles on the side and the straps going down the back. My son Greyson, who is five, picked it out because he says it is a "spongebob" suit. HA! love it!</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oftentimes girls feel reluctant and insecure hitting the beach during the summer, especially in something that “covers up” so little! It honestly helps so much when you feel comfortable. A well-fitting suit can boost your confidence and make hitting the beach that much easier! Here are some tips for finding a suit that works for YOU!</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_UfhY3sEXJ6hak9n_tJHJ2WExlr5jwx8S2E_Q50H93C0MDNE1lG97QGm_e7Bi7S5j-P1MfO527m_52MoH2yFL8ONSv9ixtQBU8q04eLb-gPx3Lxt-_XfrBUDw-Uk3HFt1U215WrFjxYH4/s1600/shutterstock_261647828.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_UfhY3sEXJ6hak9n_tJHJ2WExlr5jwx8S2E_Q50H93C0MDNE1lG97QGm_e7Bi7S5j-P1MfO527m_52MoH2yFL8ONSv9ixtQBU8q04eLb-gPx3Lxt-_XfrBUDw-Uk3HFt1U215WrFjxYH4/s1600/shutterstock_261647828.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before going to try on swim suits, make sure you’re prepared. Although it might sound silly, do your hair and put on makeup (if you wear makeup). When you feel confident about the way you look, it makes trying on suits much easier! As girls we can be very hard on ourselves. Feeling good in our own skin helps.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For hygiene purposes, it’s important to bring panties that you can wear while trying on suits. Whether the store requires it or not, why put yourself at risk unnecessarily?</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Choose a store that carries styles you like and are in your price range. Just because a suit is inexpensive, doesn’t mean it won’t look good on you and vice versa! Not all expensive suits will fit well either. </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Select colors, fabrics and styles that highlight your favorite features and downplay the features you’d like to minimize:</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvm-TYZwk5HnMTTGsB9m-9FaNPbLaj7QuIcCbW4eID2qVrRRSsFHTIrCQfrHEOnz3BsBcrxvGmN_ypQ1x_EMbRapvcJ4HNXtW9jjHxTdG-RNtD7llBRXWDLLsQPs1pHhzvp9jrvFf1RKT/s1600/shutterstock_180516284.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvm-TYZwk5HnMTTGsB9m-9FaNPbLaj7QuIcCbW4eID2qVrRRSsFHTIrCQfrHEOnz3BsBcrxvGmN_ypQ1x_EMbRapvcJ4HNXtW9jjHxTdG-RNtD7llBRXWDLLsQPs1pHhzvp9jrvFf1RKT/s1600/shutterstock_180516284.jpg" width="303" /></span></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tip one:</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are trying to highlight a particular feature (your bust for example), choose a bright color or pattern on top!

One pieces can also be a great way to minimize your waist depending on the cut and color.

I will be following the stripped plan too as I get ready to hang with all of my fellow coaches and friends on the LAS VEGAS strip! </div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KNtJr0fKlmWLdKctFZeC9mwoxCDf5Kq5leyozRqDCwxnRNT1P3PhH71uuOHKOhoVU9AAIkjPZ0cy_VdG9WNNpL4l32_-Lbo2aFIIWePKAzifZ6QbZEGFKHWwvL46aILqyZ3kCsj1ruXm/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7KNtJr0fKlmWLdKctFZeC9mwoxCDf5Kq5leyozRqDCwxnRNT1P3PhH71uuOHKOhoVU9AAIkjPZ0cy_VdG9WNNpL4l32_-Lbo2aFIIWePKAzifZ6QbZEGFKHWwvL46aILqyZ3kCsj1ruXm/s320/PicMonkey+Collage1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  </div> <strong>What is Clean Eating Stripped?</strong>  Is a 1 month program for those that are already within 10 or so pounds of their weight loss goal.  The point of this 30 day program is to teach you how to strip it down so that you can break a weight loss plateau, trim any excess fat and look your best in 30 days.  This program in conjunction with Shakeology and exercise will give you the best bang for your buck!!!  I have done it and I know it works!!  So let me teach you all that I know.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIYCy1jiqSKMA6SvxfURx30HK3LgQwUXKle9Gwa_RR0Q3Oqwq9su72aDvcpfUlFHwOu0HSz2SfU99OaluX1LySyG6DKGj9lr5qnnUSsGsNBYrq45zZhfx1O8dXfKx74Ca9lH_Umf71K6tX/s1600/summerbikini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIYCy1jiqSKMA6SvxfURx30HK3LgQwUXKle9Gwa_RR0Q3Oqwq9su72aDvcpfUlFHwOu0HSz2SfU99OaluX1LySyG6DKGj9lr5qnnUSsGsNBYrq45zZhfx1O8dXfKx74Ca9lH_Umf71K6tX/s320/summerbikini.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Here is HOW you can get started:<br /> <br /> You must be a member of my Teambeachbody Site.  You can do that by going to <span style="color: #ea6642;"><a href="http://www.teambeachbody.com/alyssaschomaker">www.teambeachbody.com/alyssaschomaker</a></span> and creating a user name and password.  Then I will contact you to start the process of choosing the right program to meet your needs and answer any questions that you may have about the challenge group.<br /> <br /> 2.  Then, together we will pick a Beachbody Fitness program that is going to meet your unique health and fitness goals.  We will pick that together with your individual ability in mind. <br /> <div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 3.  You commit to replacing 1-2 meals a day with <a href="http://www.myshakeology.com/alyssaschomaker" target="_blank">Shakeology</a> for the duration of the group.  I require Shakeology because it is one meal that you don't have to worry about.  It's the one thing that is going to give you the energy to give your workouts your all, curb your cravings, control your hunger and boost your immune system and keep you the healthiest that you have ever been.  If you choose to discontinue Shakeology after the Challenge that is perfectly fine with me!  But it definitely was the missing piece when I was stripping it down.  </div> <div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 4.  You are an active participant in the challenge group.  This means that you log into the closed facebook support group at least once a day to see the daily post and to also post your daily check in.</div> <div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> 5.  You can request to join the challenge group <a href="mailto:schomakeralyssa@gmail.com" target="_blank">here</a>! I would be happy to answer any questions you have.  </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <b><i>I will be giving you weekly meal plans, recipes, tips, motivation and accountability!
