Eat Plank Love with Beth

Tonight was a steak and potato night! My favorite. I pan seared the steak in cast iron with Olive Oil, Butter and Garlic... basting it every couple minutes! Sooo good!

These White Chocolate Dipped Ginger Cookies were what I did all day... there is a reason I don't bake. I don't really enjoy it. Lol Although, I must say... these are soooo yummy!

Eat Plank Love with Beth updated their business hours.

Eat Plank Love with Beth updated their info in the about section.

Okay... I have been MIA for a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time. Social media is just too much some times... and life gets away with me.

That being said, I have decided to revamp this page a bit. It will still remain the same name, but with all sorts of post regarding family life, recipes (the good-for-you and the bad-for -you) and fitness. I will say. I am not staying fit at all right now because I am 7 months pregnant! At 40! Let me tell you... it's a lot different than being pregnant when you are younger after two years of working from my couch. I am one tuckered out individual! 😂

I plan of trying out a Tik Tok page for recipes and things as well...

Let me know if there is anything you would like to see from me :)

Eat Plank Love with Beth Welcome to my Fitness journey! Here you will find Clean eating recipes, Workout possibilities and motivation! Please join me and we can achieve so much!

Heeeelllooooo! It's been a while! I've been struggling. Since summer and being home all this time with that C word lurking around every corner... I have just let all healthy eating and fitness go. Luckily, I have only gained about 10 pounds... but still... I have needed to get back into this for a while now. For the past week, I have been making healthier choices with my food and have been getting outside and walking. I have also incorporated some yoga to get some flexibility back in my life! Lol

This was lunch yesterday... (it's lunch today as well). It looks sooo good and all I did was put some spices on both the chicken and sautéed veggies! So good!!!!

Here in upstate NY it is beautiful! ... and humid... What better to have for dinner, than a salad?!? ... and that dressing that you see is Clean!!! 😁😁😁

Having these delicious Chicken Tacos for lunch today!! Can not wait!

Who have you compared yourself to in the past 24 hours?!?! Think... think... think...

If you’re still not sure, think of the last time you checked your Facebook or Instagram feed. Which updates made you feel envious, or made you feel as if your life paled in comparison? In turn, did any posts make you feel smug, or better than that person?

The comparison game—or war—is as old as humanity. STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!!!

We all compare... when at the beach and the I-should-be-a-model girl goes by in a fantastic suit... or... on Facebook when someone’s life is so seamlessly perfect...is staring you in the face...(and trust me... ITS NOT PERFECT!)

It’s the same in the fitness world. You see someone eating healthy, doing the work and make it look so easy.... and then you see the people that struggle...doing the same thing and don’t lose a pound... it’s all about you... not them! You are working on your journey. No one else’s... so stop comparing and get to work on yourself because you are amazing and can do this!!!

I can help you too!! I have an online accountability group where there is support, recipes, daily checking and tons of great tips! We also have an online On Demand style program with over $6000 worth of workouts that you can access virtually anywhere! (I choose the comfort of my own living room 😉)

You want in? You want more info? Drop a comment below or message me and we can talk 🙂

It’s time to do you!

I’ll admit, since getting a seasonal campsite, I have been slacking a bit... no excuses, just a little regret.

That all stops with today! I am going to get back on track... take more fast paced walks when here... find some great workouts with my On Demand membership for the camper.... and make sure that I am prepping my meals for the weekends here!! (All though, the eating hasn’t been too bad.)

Started with a mile walk to the playground with my girl!

Hey there!! It’s Friday!!! I bet you are all happy! It’s not a typical Friday for me. I have been home sick for two days and with Monday being a holiday... well... it’s more like a Tuesday for me. With a lot of catch up to do.

Needless to say, I have been off track the past week. Even Tuesday, I didn’t feel well... but I went to work. No workouts, nutrition not on track... Yada yada yada...

I am going to get it back on track this weekend! I have some clean stuff planned for foods and am going to make sure I get my superfoods shake in everyday while at my camp. As for working out, I am going to make my walks at camp a priority and try out working out in the camper I may need to modify the jumping and things...

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! ❤️❤️❤️

Want to know how to lose body fat and maintain, or even add, muscle. Here a few ways you can do this:

1: Support optimal gut and microbiome function by limiting processed foods and sugar. The superfood shake that I use actually has pre and probiotics to ensure that your digestive system is doing its job to the best of its ability! And... maybe a little TMI... bit I’m more “regular” than I have EVER been!

2: Eat whole, real foods and represent the nutrients daily, without cutting your intake drastically. One way to do this is by portion control. The program that I do makes it so easy to get in all my nutrients and foods that I should have on a daily basis. I’m sure you have seen those colored containers that I use... they are assigned all sorts of delicious whole clean foods!! And to be honest.... it’s sometimes hard to get all the containers in that I am allowed :))

3: Do not eat too little protein. It's essential for muscle growth and is a very satiating nutrient (makes you feel full).

4: Focus on 2 primary types of exercise:

RESISTANCE TRAINING: Increases human growth hormone (HGH) and testosterone which we need to build lean muscle (you are not going to get bulky, we need these for strong, healthy bodies).

HIIT TRAINING (high intensity interval training) - for stimulating fat loss

Resource: Home Workout Domination - https://shop.thebettyrocker.com/hwd/

5: Prioritize REST and especially SLEEP: the amount of sleep you get impacts whether you lose muscle as you lose fat, because of your hormone levels. High levels of cortisol can inhibit fat loss and promote muscle breakdwon. Yikes! HGH peaks DURING SLEEP. This has been my downfall. I have always been a night owl... and now I pay for it. I need to get my sleep patterns in check!

My dinner tonight was soooo good!!.... AND SO SATISFYING!!

When I first saw these containers... I was sure that the food that could fit in them was NOT enough!

😳😳😳I WAS SO WRONG!😳😳😳

It’s enough and then some! There are days when I feel like I shouldn’t eat another bite... but I know that I need to keep my metabolism going so I push through. (I never over eat though)

With the clean Whole Foods that I put in these containers, I feel amazing! I have more energy, my skin and hair are so much better and my waist is shrinking!!! 😄😄👏🏻👏🏻😄😄
... and I just joined a Biggest Loser style challenge to kick start this summer into action! There is a chance to will mucho dinero!! 💵💵💵 I am in! You can be too!!! There’s still time!

You want to learn more about it or the containers.... you know you do! Let me know and I can get you some more info!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!! It’s been a nice relaxing morning, but I need to kick myself into gear and get moving! Started my day off with this fantastic breakfast! During the week, I usually start my day with my superfoods shake... on the weekends, I like to have a sit down breakfast with my family...so it’s a nice treat! (All though, all of this is clean and approved with the program that I do!)

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be hard or expensive! There are ways to cut costs...

🍆🥒🌽🥦🥕Frozen veggies are one way! They are relatively cheap and the freezing process helps keep their nutrients! (Canned veggies can have a ton of sodium and lose some of their nutrients during the canning process)

🍎🍇🍓🍊🍋 The Super Food Shake that I do... It is PACKED FULL of nutrients, pro and prebiotics, superfoods and is super yummy... all for under about $4 a day! 😳 You can’t stop for breakfast at a convenience store for under that! And I promise you... the food that you are getting there is a chemical s**t storm!!!

🍒🍋🍇🍉🍑🥦 Buying produce that is in season is a cheaper option too!

YES.... buying Whole Foods can get expensive, but if you do it the smart way... you can come out ON TOP! ... and... the money that you spend on the “bad” stuff... will equal itself out on the good stuff!

And if you think it’s a diet.... YOU ARE WRONG‼️‼️ This is a lifestyle change. I promise you... you will not go back!

If you want to learn more... message me today and we can get you started!!

Slow going this morning... but finally got up and getting ready to workout!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms! Whether you are one, have one , can’t be one or have lost one.... you are amazing!! I have had a nice day with all my kids, fur babies and hubby 😁

How are you celebrating your special day?

If you know me, you know that I get migraines... a lot... and I am pretty much useless during one.

I have been going hard with nutrition and workouts. I haven’t missed one workout and not a lot of cheating on the food!

I didn’t want to let this migraine get the best of me... so I woke up and worked out! I’ve heard people tell me that it can get rid of the migraine. IT DOES!

So... moral of the story??? Try to get up and do the stuff that seems impossible. The word literately says “I’m possible!”!!!
.. oh... and drink ALL the water!!

Happy Thirsty Thursday!

Phew! It’s been a busy and exciting weekend but the most taxing part of it all was that Game of Thrones episode! 😱😱😱 So good... but I had so many heart attacks! 🤣

No, really though... My family and I also found a Summer getaway! Our “Home away from Home”!for the next 6 months! When I was a single mom of 2 boys, I never thought that I would ever be able to afford something like this. With my husbands hard work and my hard work, we are making it happen!

🏕🌲🔥
.. and with this little coaching gig I have starting up... it may be a lot easier next year!!

🍇🥑🥗

Now... to tackle a change in my schedule for my meal prep and workouts. I am a creature of habit... so let’s home it’s an easy transition! Camping starts next weekend!

Interested? 😁 Send me a message today and we can chat a bit!

Three months ago, I was at my heaviest weight ever!! (Including 3 pregnancies). I felt sluggish, crappy and horrible about myself!! Part of that was just the winter blues... part of it was me not taking care of me! I was eating like crap! Anything I wanted... although, I felt really bad about it. 😫

Fast forward to now!!! That lifestyle has changed! I have three kids and a husband that I need to be here and happy for!! 👦🏻👦🏼👧🏼 ❤️

So.... I started:

🍎Eating right and eating proper portions

🏋🏼‍♂️Working out in the comfort of my own home (or anywhere really... with On Demand workouts)

💜I leaned in to an Online Accountability group of people working forward the same goals as me!

There are so many perks to the program that I am doing!! Wanna learn more❓❓❓
... TRUST ME.... in 3 months.... YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF!!

Send me a message or comment below if you want more info 😁😁😁

A Sunday well spent will bring a weeks content!! Meal prepped the sh*t out of this day... while cooking a full Turkey dinner! I kept up on the dishes for most of the day... but the rest will have to wait until tomorrow!

Spring is finally here!!! Here in upstate NY we are having 60-70 degree days for daaaayyyys! It’s so refreshing to feel the warm spring air and smell that spring rain! 🌞💦

I am going to celebrate by getting outside this weekend! Take a walk... bask in the sun... something...🌸🐣🌷

What are you going to do to celebrate Spring?!?😁

Late workout, but I got it done! 💪🏼 I started a new program. It’s actually been out for a while, but it’s T25. Shaun T is the trainer. You may have seen him on TV. 👀 He’s been working with one of the National morning shows with one of his new programs. He is so motivating!

I have started with using the modifier. One thing I love about all of the programs is that there is always someone that is doing a low impact version of each move! They really have something for everyone from age 5 👧🏼to age 80 👵🏽 No lie! One of the challengers in our group is in her mid 70’s and she kicks butt!!)
.. and we do it all in the comfort of our own home! No... really... I just worked out in my pjs! 🤣would you like to learn more about our On Denamd workouts?!?🧘🏻‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🥊

Drop a comment below or message me and we can chat 💜💛💜💛

Sssssshhhhhh!!! Don’t tell, but I’m eating a late night snack!! Yes... it’s watermelon, but it’s still later than I am supposed to eat. I try not to eat past 8pm... but let’s face it...we don’t get done with dinner until 7:30 some nights.

I needed a little something extra. I just did a Cardio workout that had me all dizzy and s**t! 😱😂.

Now I feel amazing that I got it finished! Going to get a few things done and it’s off to bed for this girl!

Au revoir!

About to push play!!!

Dragging this morning, but it’s no ones fault but my own. I was up entirely too late.... but I know that if I get it done early, i am done for the day and have the evening to myself. I used to dread my workout all day...

Just finished my workout and I am sweaty as hell!! All I was doing was dancing! Lol.... One of my favorite things to do!! Great way to start a Monday!!

Have a great day!

Every step is part of the journey! Even the steps back. You are learning with each of those steps. Embrace it... love it... and learn from it!! 😁❤️

Good Morning! It’s Sunday Funday! I woke up kidless this morning so it’s been a nice relaxing morning. Cooked some breakfast for the hubby and went on a nice long walk! Got a 1 1/2 miles down 🙂 Later, I will do a workout from my program that I am doing. The best part!?! I don’t even need to leave my living room!

It feels so good to get outside and breathe in that spring air! It’s there... I know it is!! Upstate NY weather is sooo crazy! One day it’s warm and 60.... the next day it’s snowing! Hopefully there’s no more of that in the forecast.

Hey everyone! I’m still here... I have been forgetting to post on this page ever since I found stories... I have just been using them. I will get better... I promise!

Anyway... today is Sunday and is usually my prep day. THIS GIRL has a four day weekend... so I didn’t prep today! I will get it done over the next two days. Still not sure what I’m doing. I do know that tomorrow, I will be making chicken in wine sauce in the crock pot! I plan on serving it over rice for the family, but I will probably just eat it like it is :))

I am still trying to figure out the other days... and my snacks...

Anyone have any favorite healthy snacks or go to lunches that they can’t live without?

Transformation Tuesday:

Mine is a transformation... but it’s not a good one. Rewind to a few months ago... I realized that I am the biggest that I have EVER been. ( Even with my pregnancies 😩) I was feeling sluggish and so down on myself. I knew that I NEEDED this to change.

For some motivation, I looked back at pics from my first go-round with Beachbody. It worked then. I lost 20 lbs and a bunch of inches! I looked great and was on my way to looking and feeling AMAZING! So what happened?!

Since quitting last August 2018 (lets be real... I quit way before that) I have really packed on those lbs!
Posting this horrible pic gives me the motivation I need to get back on track. The amazing group of women that are doing it will me also give me the love and support that I need. It helps to have people like you along for the journey!

Anyone feeling this way? Wanna join? We can do it together!!

Message me or comment for deets!!

I’m gonna leave this right here.... do with it what you will.
