Nighttime Eating??  Over it...

Picture


Does anyone find themselves waking up at night eating or going for the sugar drinks?  I do, I am terrible at it. So terrible in fact that nighttime eating adds about 300 calories to my day....before 4 am!

I have researched Sugar cravings, Why do I eat at night, Why am I bloated during the day and why can I not sleep?  All of these questions all lead to the predicament that I have been in. So how the hell do I get out of it because I am over it!  Every article, every publication, every book, they all said the same thing!

1. Exercise
2. Nutrition
3. Relaxation


WHAT?  I swear it was going to be a hormone imbalance, not enough of this type of vitamin, too much of this, under eating, etc.  So over the past 4 weeks I have made it my mission to focus on the 3 main suggestions for curbing NIGHTIME Eating!

Exercise - Why does this curb your cravings....COGNITIVE STIMULATION reduces urges and impairs thoughts about food cravings..  So then I thought to myself...when I am really hungry I have put on my shoes and went outside for a run (it's really more of a shuffle) for about 20-30 minutes with my overly hyper lab.  Once I am done, there is not a thought about eating at all.  

Nutrition - What could nutrition possibly have anything to do with me stuffing my face in my fridge at night...EVERYTHING!  Do not starve yourself during the day.  Most people eat 3 meals which is great and dandy, but you really need to be eating about every 3 hours.  What I have been failing at is paying attention to what and when I am eating.   When I was working with an IFBB Pro, I was eating every 3 hours, never had a food craving, was never hungry and was so overly full I dreaded the next meal and you know what...I never ate at night.  So focus on quality foods (NO PROCESSED FOODS) and the intervals at which you are eating.

Relaxation - Say what, you want me to relax?  But I have kids and animals, dishes, grocery shopping, bill paying and I simply don't have time to relax.  LIAR!  You are lying to yourself to tell your head that you don't have time for you! It's time to start making time.  Every night before you hop in the shower, just sit on the floor and put your legs up on the wall for 10 minutes with the shower running.  Make your family think you are in the shower.  The sound of the water running is soothing in itself. Just lay on the ground, legs up on the wall, arms to your side and just think about NOTHING.  There are many great meditation apps for free that you can download and just listen.  Please note to set an alarm, because once you fall asleep on the floor you will be thankful that you did!  After your alarm has awoken you, hop in the shower and continue to listen to soft music or finish your meditation audio.

It's been 4 weeks and I would say the last 3 weeks my nighttime eating has dramatically been cut.  I too am still working on the relaxation, but I am doing it and my goal is 30 minutes a day and I am at about 10 right now.  So challenge yourself to end your nighttime cravings by following these three suggestions and please feel free to message me at maegen.fleck@gmail.com with any questions that you might have or how I have gone about it.  I am more than happy to open a discussion with you.

BODy Challenge

Picture
  How many times have you given up on a fitness regiment, diet or general lifestyle? If it’s too many times to remember, you’re not alone. Just speaking of New Year’s resolutions (when most health and fitness goals are set), less than 10% of those who set them actually achieve them.

I find the main reason why most people don’t follow through with their health and fitness goals is a lack of accountability – when no one is holding them responsible to what they promised to do.

I have a challenge starting that incorporates this missing ingredient with fitness and nutrition, so you can have the best chance of success at reaching your goals.

FOOD FEELINGS INTO 2017

Going into 2017, it's always that time for New Years resolutions that no one sticks to. However, for those of you committed to sticking to a healthier lifestyle STICK TO IT. One of the top reasons people drop the healthy eating is because it is hard socially. When you get together with friends, you eat. You family gets together, you eat. Everything revolves around food, AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO!
Picture
The quote about from my new book Eating Clean by Annie Valpone describes it best, we cheat ourselves because we don't want to hurt other people's feelings. We need to stop this. No it's no fun to be the only one at a dinner table on an outing without food, but you can eat before or after guilt free to know that you did what you needed to do for your body.

It's your health, your body, treat it good. When you do this, others will notice and some might even join you on the CLEAN SIDE!

Here is to a 2017 full of eating cleaner and making better food choices for not only you but your family!

Happy New Year,
​Maegen Fleck

Smoke It, Don't Fry It!

How to Cook your Food. Smoke it, bake it, steam it, grill it BUT DON’T FRY IT!!!!!

Find what works for your family. My family, we grill out all year long. We cut down maple sticks off the tree in our yard and we smoke our food on the grill. It gives it that perfect hardwood taste that you surely would not get out of frying.

Here is a great article on how to best cook a meal for your family.

Read through it, is there a technique that would work for your meal in lieu of frying. Maybe there is a different method than what you are used to, maybe you just might give it a shot!

Fibromyalgia and Shakeology....IT WORKED FOR ME

Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
In July of 2014 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia...

FIBRO WHAT?  Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals. 

So I went the medicine route because my pains were so severe.  After about 1 month I got tired of watching myself from 10' behind and feeling as though I was not myself.  So I successfully removed the medicine from my system after many months of withdrawals.  Something had to give.  It just had to.

What I did add was Shakeology®, I figured it was nutrient dense, full of vitamins and minerals so I will just give it a shot.  By December, I was pain free.  By December, I was brain fog free.  By December, I stopped acupuncture for migraines and body aches.  By December, I was back to being ME!!  By December, I started to finally loose weight!!

Again, I am not a doctor, but after doing a lot of research I knew I needed something for my vitamins and minerals. I cannot explain why it worked at the time other than Shakeology was PACKED with super foods which contain super dense nutrition.  Luckily for me, fellow coach Seay Stanford noted several ingredients contained in Shakeology® lend themselves to helping the condition and its symptoms:
  • Camu Camu Berry: Not only is that Amazonian fruit ridiculously high in Vitamin C, it also contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce joint pain and elevate moods.
  • Sachi Inchi: This ingredient consists of extremely high levels of tryptophan, which is associated with the production of serotonin in the body. Many scientists believe that low levels of serotonin contribute to the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms. When your levels are naturally boosted, fibromyalgia symptoms are decreased. Additionally, according to the Mayo Clinic, 80 to 90 percent of the body’s serotonin is found in the GI tract. There are so many ingredients within Shakeology® that help aid digestion, it ensures that your body’s GI tract is as healthy as possible. This will help provide the best possible chances for your body to produce and maintain sufficient levels of serotonin.
  • Goji Powder: Containing 18 amino acids, goji is known for being an anti-inflammatory agent and for helping enhance memory, thus reducing effects of fibro fog.
  • Cordyceps: A type of mushroom, it has several intriguing benefits for the body, but the most beneficial one for fibro patients is that it is an energy restorer.
  • Reishi Powder: Another form of mushroom, it’s an anti-inflammatory so it may help reduce joint pain.
  • Schisandra Powder (berry:) This ingredient is a vine found in Asia that works as a stimulator for the central nervous system. It may help re-wire the way your brain functions to analyze pain signals.
  • Maca Root: Derived in the Andes mountains, this vegetable may reduce chronic fatigue.

Although everyone is different, I share this story with you because I was a 31 year old mother of two with Fibromyalgia and would get out of bed begging for the pains to stop, begging to just be me again.  No more headaches, no more pains, no more brain fog.

Shakeology and a clean diet worked for me.  I highly suggest that anyone with Fibromyalgia change your lifestyle and change your future.  You do not have to live with Fibro, I won't...and yes I CONSULTED MY DOCTOR!

Please e-mail with any questions that you might have about my story and how I focused on putting my health first so I could support my family.

Is YOUR health worth $4 a day?

What is $4 a day look like?

A Starbucks Coffee, nope that is over $5.  A subway sandwich....Nope they start at $5. A lunch to a local restaurant no that is around $10 these days.

What if I told you that for $4 a day you could get in your healthiest meal of the day, would you be interested?  Well I sure was!

After being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Sarcoidosis I turned to the doctors for help on how to fix the pain, the fog, the constant sharp pains, the lack of energy...and NOTHING.  Here is some medicine and on my way I go.  NOT ACCEPTABLE.

After a lot of research and there was nothing out there that could supply me with the nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and minerals except Shakeology!  I ordered a bag of Shakeology and give it 100% dedication for three months along with focused nutrition.  Suddenly all of my pains were gone, I could think clearly, and I had my energy back....AND all for $4 a day!

If you suffer from Fibro, Sarco, high cholosterol, overwight, tired, poor GI track and you just want to feel overall BETTER, you have to try this.  Shakeology has a 100% money back guarntee so why not give it a try.

For $4 to a day to have my life back, it was worth it to me and I have never looked back.

Join me today for a 21 Day Health and Fitness Bootcamp to get you back to healthy!  At the end of the 21 days if you are not happy with the way you feel return everything and get your money back.

I'm just curious....
​
What if you could get paid $250 a week to workout 5 times a week, stay focused on proper nutrition, and feed your mind with positive growth material.....

Would you do it?

Would $13,000 a year be worth it?

avoiding the flu...

So as my family is coming under attack by the typical back to school "bugs"...aka...FLU!  I thought I would write briefly to remind everyone that it can happen to you and lets take a few extra steps to help keep our family healthy.

1. AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE...  Please sneeze and wipe their noses and grab things...Things that you will in turn grab.  The coffee pot at work, a pen or pencil, a local printer (#1 spot for germs), or simply going in and out of the bathrooms.  The best way to keep these germs at bay is simply to not touch your face, especially your nose where you can do a direct injection of the bacteria that causes people to get sick.

2. STAY AT HOME IF YOU ARE SICK... I Can promise you that none of your co-workers want to get sick, we literally avoid it like the plague!  So take that day off of work, stay home, get the rest you need to help your body heal.  Your co-workers will thank you and if you have kids, so will other parents.

3. WASH YOUR HANDS... This goes along with both of the above. You are in contact with germs every day, so make sure you give your hands a good wash in the restroom or kitchen.  Consider carrying an anti-bacterial sanitizer with you on the go!

4. EAT HEALTHY...  By eating healthy you will naturally support your immune system to help you fight off the seasonal flu and bugs!  When you begin to feel sluggish, toss an extra orange in at breakfast, drink your Shakeology, or eat some Greek yogurt with blueberries.

My number one goal every year is to not get sick!  You should make it your goal as well!
