Nominate A Survivor






TWO Chick Transformations: NW San Antonio Texas Fit Chicks!!



Congratulations Debra Conkle! You have worked hard this past year and we are proud of your dedication!! ~ Blog @ TFC

"I started Texas Fit Chicks as a Groupon. I needed a boost after losing 18 pounds on my own by eating fewer calories. I started out at 198 pounds and the Doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and my blood pressure was getting higher. I knew I hadn't taken care of myself for years while I was raising "a his, her and ours family." I had gained so much weight that I couldn't wear my wedding ring anymore, I couldn't see my feet and I could barely walk down the block without getting out of breath. I'm so happy to say that I truly enjoyed the first month(the groupon), that I decided to upgrade to the 6 month option and now I've been with TFC for a little over 1 year now. In that time I have lost 26 pounds and 14 1/2 inches, I climbed to the top of Enchanted Rock with Awesome San Antonio TFC , Ran a 5k and now I can even wear my Wedding ring!!! ""

Chick Transformation!!

Talk about an Amazing Chick Transformation, let me introduce you to my friend Rachel so she can tell you in HER WORDS what these pictures mean to her. 

From Rachel:
When my trainer showed me these photos this morning, I had to turn around and walk back to my mat because I didn’t want anyone to see how emotional I got. I can’t believe how far I have come at TFC; and honestly, how bad I had gotten before. When I joined at the end of February, I feared being intimidated by...all the other women who were more fit than I was. Could I even keep up? But I was so fed up and desperate for a change that I tossed those fears aside and decided to just accept whatever level I was at and just do it!

In fact, all the other women WERE further in their fitness journey, but no one made me feel inferior or embarrassed. No fitness snobs here! I didn’t see a single change on the scale or in my clothes for a good 6 weeks, but I could feel the difference in my strength. I went from not being able to complete one burpee without modifying down to modifying UP in just a few months! I have gone from barely being able to run one mile, to running almost 3 miles twice a week on top of bootcamp. 


Although I have been slimmer and a 3 mi. runner, I have never had this much strength and endurance or the passion for the journey versus the destination! I think most people would use the word “fighter” to describe me, amongst other things. My passion for speaking out for women and underprivileged populations is undeniable. Denton Texas Fit Chicks Unicorn Lake has given me an arena to use that fighting spirit to fight for my own health and wellbeing. I have learned to love myself at every shape/size, and fitness level and at first I thought, “I am still so far from where I want to be.” But you know what? I am exactly where I want to be- on a journey to constant improvement and selfcare. 


The girl on the left is just as worthy as the girl on the right. The girl on the right just learned to pour into her own cup.

ABS Are Made In The Kitchen



Nutrition is so critical when trying to lose weight. It's so common for people to workout and then think that since they worked out, they can eat that burger :) The only thing is...a hard workout for a solid hour might burn 400-500 calories (if you're working pretty darn hard)....but the burger, fries and soda is well over 2,000 for just one meal. You see how that math just doesn't work when trying to lose unwanted pounds.

Choosing the right combination of foods will help keep your blood sugar in check and your cravings to a minimum. With each small meal, include some protein which will keep you feeling full. Healthy snack ideas include:

  • Handful of raw, unsalted almonds with an apple
  • Celery stalks with unsalted almond butter (1T)
  • 1 Part-skim cheese stick
  • Hard boiled Egg (or just the egg whites)
  • 2 cups of 94% fat free popcorn with handful of peanuts
  • Lettuce wrap with Bibb lettuce and deli turkey
  • 1 cup lowfat yogurt
  • 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese

Those are just a few snack ideas. Here's a great recipe for you too! "Twisted Tuna". It's a fantastic healthy spread that you can use on bread for a sandwhich, a whole wheat wrap, or with stalks of celery. I like to make a big batch of it on Sundays - and it lasts all week.


Here's what you need and how it's done:

8 cans of chunk light tuna packed in water - drained
1 cucumber seeded and chopped (use more if you love cucumber)
1/2 red onion (more or less depending on how much you like onion)
1 8oz container of weight watchers whipped cream cheese

Combine all tuna together (make sure you drain it)....then combine it w/ entire tub of whipped cream cheese. Stir in the cucumber and chopped onion and that's it! You're done! Super easy and oooooh soooo yummy :) VERY high in protein and low in calories. One serving is actually considered 1 can of tuna....so you can divide this up into 8 servings.

Eggs
At the start of each week, boil 2 cartons of eggs (18 ct)....then pop them back into the crate and refrigerate. Hard boiled egg whites have about 20 calories in each...and you can eat up to 6 egg whites....and only have 120 calories! Tons of protein in these...and excellent for those afternoon hours when you get hungry before dinner. Kids love them as a quick snack!!

Water Water should be your new best friend if trying to lose weight. It's amazing how many times people confuse hunger for thirst. 4:00 for me is the time of day when many people need to drink a big glass of water. If you don't - you may find yourself scrounging through the pantry for junk. Shoot for 3 liters a day of water. Especially if you are working out - and breaking a sweat - 90 oz is a good goal. The recommended 64 oz is just not enough if you're working out.

Food journaling is a fantastic way to track your calories and eating habits.
It's good from several different standpoints...

1) You re-think eating junk when you know you have to write it down
2) You are able to see what times you're hungry in a typical day
3) You can track what snacks/mini meals kept you full and satisfied until the next time to eat
4) You can make sure you are eating enough - and not dropping below the 1200 calorie mark
5) You can journal how you feel physically after eating.

It's amazing when you really start eating properly, how when you eat the junk, your body doesn't feel right. Your energy level isn't what it could be, and fatigue is constant. Set a goal for yourself, to change one bad habit a week...until you are where you want to be physically. For example - if lattes are your thing - try replacing that with hot tea....or not getting one every single day. Let that be your "cheat" for the weekend. If you do things right 90% of the time, you will be ok. I am all about moderation, and you may very well see me sometime getting Milk Duds at the movies....because you have to have your cheat times. Just not every day.

Chick Transformation: Frisco Texas Fit Chicks



"The outfit I wore today must have been the "BOMB" because 3 people at work today had to do a double take before they realized it was me. One whistled at me, the other wanted to know what I've been doing and the third had just said how great I look. I even heard two of them continue to talk about when they got on the elevator. Plus, my husband sent me a text this morning telling me how great I looked and that all my hard work was paying off. So here I am 1 yr later, 30 pounds lighter, down 3 clothing sizes and the thing I'm most proud of is my cholesterol and triglycerides are down and are in the normal range! I was very close to being medicated for high cholesterol last year, but I turned it around with exercise and diet. Looks are one thing, but the improvement in my health is such a huge accomplishment. What a difference a year can make! Pictures don't lie. "  - Jennifer, Frisco TX

All the Best,

Chick Transformation: Memorial Texas Fit Chicks



AMANDA R.

"First off, I wasn’t thinking of putting myself first - I wasn’t really focused on me. Like most mothers, I usually came last. But then I decided that I needed to also focus on me because I matter and my health matters. So, my journey began when I signed up again with Texas Fit Chicks this past May 2015. I was a previous member in 2014, but at that time I couldn't dedicate myself fully. However, something clicked this summer. I lost a great amount of weight, and my journey is nowhere near over. I chose Texas Fit Chicks for its camaraderie. The women next to me make me feel confident and comfortable when training, and I can push my body to its fullest to complete each exercise. I have found a new motivation through the energy my body has gained with every workout. It's my drive! My goal is to become healthy with great eating habits and consistent with my workouts. I have been fortunate to have found a great trainer, Marissa, (You push me and motivate me to the limit... I thank you!) Every workout is different each time, and each time I can see my body thriving.To those who are self conscious - we are all the same. We are fighting the same fight. No judgement. No shame. And the workouts get easier the better you get. Thank you to my family - you are my inspiration, and thanks Texas Fit Chicks for helping me find myself."

Early Morning Workout Tips!




Don’t let your morning routine hamper a great workout opportunity!

I have been asked time and time again how in the world do you get up at 4am to work 
out!  And my answer (after the usual and honest “you really do get used to it”) is preparedness.  If I am getting up that early to work out and then get straight to work I have to have everything ready prior to the alarm clock going off!  I don’t want to get up and have my workout be clouded by the stresses of running late because I couldn’t find a shoe or not having the time to eat a quick breakfast.  So here are some simple steps for those that do the morning workouts.

  • Do as much the night before as possible.  
  • I lay out my entire “outfit” the night before.  Pants/Shorts, Shirt, Sports Bra, Socks, Sweatshirt (if I need it) and I even have my shoes laid right by where I am getting dressed.  Ready to be slipped on.
  • I make my water the night before and leave it chilling in the fridge.
  • I also get all things ready for my breakfast.
  • EAT BREAKFAST!!!  
  • Most of the energy you got from dinner the previous night is used up by morning, and your blood sugar might be low. If you don't eat, you might feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise. If you plan to exercise within an hour after breakfast, eat a light breakfast or drink something to raise your blood sugar, such a simple smoothie (recipe below!). Emphasize carbohydrates for maximum energy or protein to keep those muscles happy!
  • Leave in plenty of time to get in a good warm up and wake up!
  • Let’s not sugar coat any of this…the majority of us who do morning workouts are not necessarily morning people.  MYSELF INCLUDED!  I work out in the morning because it works best with my schedule.  I always try to get to camp about 5-8 minutes before class starts to just walk.  Sometimes I walk alone and “wake” up and other times this is my visit time with my other chicks in class. This little extra time is imperative to a good workout to really get the body ready for the “real” warm up. 
  • Lastly remember that this time is YOUR time. Your time to improve your mind, health, and body and should be looked at as important as any other appointment you may have – whether it be your job, doctor’s appointment, anything.  I mean…if we ladies don’t take care of ourselves then who will?!?!
So all your ladies who get up “in the middle of the night” to work out!  You go girls!!!
To all you ladies who work out mid-morning or at night…YOU GO GIRLS!!  Most of these honestly apply to you as well with just a few tweaks!  

Happy FITNESS!!

Recipe!!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie 
  • 1 large banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen (you won’t even taste this!)
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 6 oz Chobani 0% Greek Yogurt (or 2%, flavored or unflavored)
  • 3/4 cup skim milk (or your favorite kind of nondairy or dairy milk – use your favorite milk!)
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 Tablespoon peanut butter (natural peanut butter)
  • 1 Cup Kale Leaves (again…won’t taste them!)
Directions:
Put all of the ingredients into the blender, in the order listed, and blend on high until thick and smooth. I would start with only 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder, blend, and then add 1 more for a stronger chocolate taste. You may need to stop and stir/scrape down the sides of the blender a few times.   (If you prefer a less sweet smoothie, you may leave out the honey. Add more peanut butter for a stronger peanut butter taste. Add more milk to make the smoothie thinner, if desired.)

It's A Lifestyle Change


There are so many celebrity diets, pills and drinks that make promises to help people lose weight QUICKLY. These sell because people want what they want when they want it. Like RIGHT NOW! We need instant gratification....we are impatient. Fast results with less work is what we are after. And society has believed all the hype about these quick fixes because people do lose weight fast with them. What about after the celebrity diet or the 30 days of magic pills is over? Why don't these companies share that people usually gain their weight back plus more and most continue to struggle with their weight after trying many of these quick fixes year after year. Faster is not better. TIME, hard work, healthy meal planning and exercise is what it takes. You see, we take our time coming to terms with needing to put in the EFFORT to getting LASTING RESULTS and until that lightbulb moment happens this will always be a struggle. Once we see that it's a LIFE STYLE change the mind changes too! Fitness and health is a way of life. Let's change our lifestyle to match our goals!

Austin Balcones Park Texas Fit Chicks: Kim's Chick Transformation!!

I took advantage of a GROUPON and initially joined Texas Fit Chicks in February 2014. I was there with unrealistic expectations and not really committed, so I didn't stay with it. In late summer, I saw a picture of myself and knew that it was definitely time for a change.  With the support of my husband, who was willing to give up some of the time we had together in the evenings, I rejoined Texas Fit Chicks in September 2014. I was very committed to a change. I have been going to boot camp three times a week for about seven months now, but I was able to tell a difference in how I felt and the shape of my body within a couple of months. By December I had lost 12 poinds and 23 inches overall. I have found our trainer, Melanie to be incredibly supportive and encouraging at camp and any other time I call on her. She recognizes when you need a bit of push or new challenge, but let's you get there at your pace. I love it and can't stand to miss!  Every camp is different and the time goes by really quickly, but we all show up ready to work. It is a completely welcoming and supportive environment. In other words, women just like me with a life and a desire to improve themselves. What I have gained from Melanie and Texas Fit Chicks in terms of my physical and mental well being is PRICELESS! My husband even calls me skinny girl!

ANNA TEXAS FIT CHICKS: April's CHICK TRANSFORMATION

April's Chick Transformation:

My struggles started in '02 with my hysterectomy. I put on 100 lbs, developed Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease. I joined Lady of America Fitness where I met Melody. She did a couple of private sessions with me and was just starting a boot camp there so I signed up for her first 5 week class. At the end of the 5 weeks I had lost 1 pound.  I got very discouraged because it seemed like no matter what I did, I just couldn't lose the weight. A year later my doctor told me I also had liver disease and had to get the weight off. In 2011 I decided to have Lap Band surgery and I still struggled. 

Awhile before this, Melody had started Texas Fit Chicks and I was still on her email list. In July 2012 the email said Texas Fit Chicks was coming to Anna, so I decided maybe I needed to add the exercise back in.  
It wasn't until rejoining Texas Fit Chicks that I started seeing results. Here I am 3 years with TFC in Anna and I am down 93 lbs total. Not only have I lost weight, but I am no longer Type 2 Diabetic and I am also decreasing my chances of a heart attack. Melody and my trainer Trina have saved my life. I can't thank them enough. 

Love you, Trina!
