I am a huge, huge, H-U-G-E fan of cucumbers! I eat AT LEAST one a day. The Boyfriend will tell you, as much as I eat, I should turn into a cucumber one of these days. LOL!!! Whelp, it's Summer time here in New Jersey and it's been sweltering hot. I don't know about you but when the weather gets like this my body just craves sweet, sweet Summer foods -- and they are all primarily that of the vegetable kind. ;) As I was cleaning out my fridge last night I realized I had a few Jersey tomatoes (love them!) to use up before they went bad. It really drives me bananas when food is wasted. I also knew I wanted my daily dose of cucumber. That's when I remembered about that good old fashioned Cucumber and Tomato salad that my Momma raised me on. So, I started cutting up my cucumbers and tomatoes. The best part? It's a FABULO-SO side dish. This is great for parties or potlucks as well. Healthy, filling, and quick... my kind of side dish.
2 Cucumbers
2 cups of cherry tomatoes (or other tomatoes)
1/2 onion chopped (optional)
1/2 avocado cubed (optional)
Vinaigrette
1/4 cup of vinegar
1 tbsp of vegannaise (or lite mayo)
cracked pepper to top
Directions:
Ready for this...chop and combine <Rocket science, I know!>
Vinaigrette: Wisk all 3 ingredients together.
Combine and toss. Chill before serving.
Dinner for 2. Served. 2 reds, 2 greens. 1 tsp.
Easy enough right?! This will be on the menu next week. :D Gotta get it in while cucumbers and tomatoes are in season and in their peak.
Every year when Beachbody hosts its annual Coach Summit, there are new fitness programs, new products, new apparel, and a whole BUNCH OF NEW STUFF released! It is super exciting as a Coach and as a challenger. This is the beauty of Beachbody because you are never bored with the same old stuff. There is always something to challenge your fitness, keep you inspired, and provide better health. So what are all these new products and how can you get them? Let's tell you, shall we?
July 20th CIZE from Shaun T
This program is for absolutely everyone. Even those who are the most fit! Even those who can’t dance!
What’s included in the CIZE Base Kit?
6 dance courses on 3 DVDs
Eat Up! Guide
Get Started Guide
Weekend Survival Guide
8 Count Abs Workout
Hold Your Own DVD (Network Exclusive, only from your Coach)
Challenge Packs also include a 30 day supply of Shakeology, which is a must when you are looking for optimal results.
I will be running an exclusive Beta Test Group for this program beginning August 3rd. Fill out the application below if you are interested in joining!
July 21st Shakeology BOOSTS
As if Shakeology didn’t have enough vitamins, nutrients, and basically everything your body needs to be in its best health, Beachbody wants to give you more. These 3 types of BOOTS (additional scoops) allow you to create a PERSONAL superfood within your glass.
Shakeology Focused Energy Boost
If you’re looking for an effective pick-me-up without compromising your health, then this Boost is for you. Unlike traditional energy drinks that rely on chemicals, sugar, and large doses of caffeine to create energy spikes, Focused Energy Boost has ginseng and 100 mg of natural caffeine from guarana and green tea.
Not only does this amazing Boost give you energy, it also supports mental clarity, alertness, and focus.* Plus, there are no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives in this Boost—so now you can energize your day the healthy way.
Shakeology Power Greens Boost
Power Greens Boost is a convenient way to get a full serving of nutrient-dense vegetables while supporting your body’s acid/alkaline balance. One tiny scoop is like eating ⅔ cup leafy greens, ⅓ cup cucumber, and ⅓ of a large celery stalk!
Maybe you’re a veggie hater. Maybe you’re on-the-go and the menu options are less than ideal. Or maybe you just want to add more greens to your diet. Regardless, the bottom line is, when it comes to greens, the more you eat, the happier your body will be.
Shakeology Digestive Health Boost
Did you know the average American gets LESS THAN HALF of the daily recommended amount of fiber? Yep. No wonder our internal plumbing has problems. However, this incredible Boost supplies your body with a potent blend (7 grams) of both soluble AND insoluble fiber, setting this formula apart from typical fiber supplements that only contain soluble fiber.
So when you’re experiencing irregularity, bloating, or discomfort, this Boost will help while getting you back to feeling like yourself as soon as possible. Plus, if you add Digestive Health Boost to Chocolate Shakeology, you’ll get 52% of your daily recommended amount of fiber—in just one shake
July 22nd Beachbody Performance Line
Game changer! You know all those supplements that are thrown at you to make you run faster, hydrate better, and recover quicker? Beachbody just blew them out of the water! True to form, each of these 5 supplements are free of artificial ANYTHING and specific enough to meet your needs.
Energize: Pre Workout Formula to boost you ready for exercise
Hydrate: During Workout Formula to improve performance and replenish electrolytes
Recover: Post workout Formulas to provide speedy muscle recovery
Recharge: Nighttime Recovery Formula to combat muscle soreness and improve adaptation to exercise
Creatine: Mixed with Recover for post workout to improve muscle development
They can be used together, in any combination, or alone. YOU decide!
Are you ready to step up your game??? You better believe I am getting one of everything and making the rest of 2015 my personal best! Oh, and let’s not forget all the great apparel that is launching as well!

As a Coach, I had opportunity to try out not one but two of the Cize workouts - which are a lot of fun. I truly enjoyed laughing at myself on a daily basis!!! I am SO glad and SO thankful that I get to do this workout in the comfort of my own home because ladies and gents, let me tell you, I am definitely that girl that thinks she can dance but when I catch a glimpse in the mirror I am shown otherwise.
The nutrition plan is easy to follow and it uses the portion controlled container system to help you with nailing the portion sizes! I have created 4 meal plans over the past 4 weeks that are specific to Cize that I am going to share in my upcoming Launch Group!
I am going to walk you through each workout, teach you how to make modifications, guide you through the program guide to make sure that you are doing the program correctly and my goal is to help you stay motivated, connected, supported and to give you recipes, tips and ideas so that you can truly get the most from the program!
