Stacy’s Favorite Supplements
Stacy’s Favorite Supplements
I put together all the supplements I take daily for you. It’s taken me five years to find my rhythm with it all and some days, when my kids were little, I was lucky to get even one balanced meal in a day!
The struggle is real but we cannot pour from an empty cup so this quick system I follow makes me feel so much more energized and ready to face the day! I understand my metabolism is not going to work in my favor anymore so I need to keep it up as well as protect my gut health to ward off disease as much as possible! Having a strong allergy to gluten, I swear my body is more sensitive!
Here’s my morning to evening plan!
I start with Mom-crack which is basically my liquid sunshine. I use it to help with muscle endurance during and a focused energy boost pre-workout. You can get yours here: MOMCRACK
Then I will re-fuel with this superfood shake! With omegas, Vitamin C, prebiotics and probiotics and 70+ exotic superfoods..it’s my everything shake! After a couple month of drinking it, I noticed way less bloat, leaner muscle mass and better skin! It’s my breakfast, or any time throughout the day I need a fast nutrient dense meal: SHAKEOLOGY
My exact blend is 12 oz of water, 6 ice cubes, a heaping teaspoon of Powdered Peanut Butter & L-Glutamine:
And a handful of spinach. I blend it in my Blendtec blender and go!
Next up, I make sure to get collagen I’m once a day and this has been my go-to lately! I take 1 Tbsp a day and it helps with repairing all tissues and keeping my hair, skin and nails repaired. It also helps with muscle repair, retention and recovery. It helps me look and feel younger. This brand is specifically a medical grade and used for chemotherapy patients so their muscles don’t atrophy during treatments. COLLAGEN
My Vitamin D quick fix to up my immune system is this one! You can drop it in your Shakeology or just right on your tongue. VITAMIN D
I add an extra layer of probiotics to ensure my gut health because I was on a strong dose of antibiotics for what felt like forever a couple years ago..I’m still healing from that. PROBIOTICS
Before bed, Matt and I have been loving this anti-stress drink. It’s a little fizzy once you mix with hot water but then you give it a stir and enjoy it like a tea. I do 1 teaspoon in a mug of water. Here’s the link: NATURAL VITALITY NATURAL CALM
On the days my workouts are more intense or I sweat a lot, I’ll also utilize the post workout Recover drink and drink it within 30 minutes after my workout. It prevent muscle soreness and gives my body the exact carb/protein levels I need to get the most from my workout. BEACHBODY PERFORMANCE RECOVER
Here’s the hydrate. Think of it as healthy Gatorade! This performance line is NSF certified and backed by Ironman. There are now artificial flavors, colors or sugars. BEACHBODY HYDRATE
Before you purchase any of the Beachbody supplements I take, make sure to email me or fill out this form: Find Your Inner Glow so I can tell you about the bundle sale kits to save you money!
All my best,
Stace

Cheap Gym? Why Not Use Your Own Home?
My Cheap Gym
I used to love going to the gym. I would get in my car, drive 15 minutes, take 5 minutes to park, rush and change my clothes in a shared space, be barely on time for class, then workout in a class for about 45 minutes to an hour. Then I’d usually do some stretching. I would then go back to my car, jet out and get back home in 15-20 minutes.
I figured I spent at least 30 – 45 minutes in my car a day, just in traveling to and from the gym; had to always pack a bag, which took extra time and had to spend an extra 15 minutes at the gym to get ready and what not almost everyday. You better believe I loved working out at the gym before kids, but it ate up an extra hour per day….usually 5 to 6 days per week.
Having kids….well, let’s just say that an extra hour a day is huge!!!! Let’s not forget that time, gas and a gym membership cost money!!! I needed a cheap gym alternative. I needed a way to be as efficient as possible!!
Why the Cheap Gym?
When my husband began doing P90X in 2012, I really was skeptical that it would work. Well, he proved me wrong….all while I was getting bigger and bigger, pregnant with my second. Thanks hubby!! I watched as he stayed consistent, getting into Insanity after P90X, and losing 70lbs in six months…..all from a room in our basement. He bought some adjustable dumbbells, a pull up rack, some mats and an old barbell with some weights. My hubby also added a bench. Over the years we have added a bit more, using Craigslist or Offer Up to pick up a few more items, but really that was what we needed. Oh ya….and a TV from 2004 and a DVD player from the same year. Our cheap gym was complete!!!
Turbofire was my workout of choice in my small, cozy, cheap gym. It was perfect. The space is about 12’X12′, that is including all the equipment. We have a good amount of natural light, which I love and I can open the window. Being in the basement, it stays cool in the summers in the Seattle area. I don’t have to waste any time at all.
I would take a preworkout drink called Energize, throw a show on for my kids and away I would go!! As the kids have gotten older, I will get my workout done early, get them ready and then get them to school. I then get about 5 straight hours to work on my business, get things done around the house, grocery shop, volunteer…you name it, but I’m not taking the time to go to the gym. Most my workouts are 45 minutes on average, many are shorter and then I am done! No more commute and prep. It is super efficient for the busy woman or mom!!
I never see myself going back to a gym fully. I love my cheap gym. A couple of times a week would be fun, especially if I was leading classes, but for the most part, it just wastes too much time. Time is my most important and precious commodity and a gym is just not in the cards.
My Cheap Gym Just Got Better!
Now, fast forward to the present, my cheap gym is even better! We get all our workouts, literally hundreds of them streaming, anytime we desire! I will do the entire workout of 21 Day Fix, Hammer and Chisel, Core De Force, but I really love switching them up from time to time, I also love hybrids. With Beachbody on Demand, I can access any of the workouts anytime. Having access to every single workout that Beachbody has ever made! It’s my dream come true! No more having to search through DVD’s stacked to the ceiling!!
Here’s what our cheap gym looks like, in this quick video I made!

When to Drink Shakeology?!
Have You Ever Wondered, When to Drink Shakeology?
When to drink Shakeology? It is more of a common question than you might think. With a meal replacement like Shakeology, that has so many advantages, you want to make sure that you might be consuming it at the proper time so as to maximize those advantages! The true answer is, there is no correct time because it totally depends on your specific schedule and the needs you have in your nutrition.
Here Are Your Choices For When To Drink Shakeology
Most the time, t works good for me to drink Shakeology an hour and a half or so after breakfast. It offers me a ton of energy for the rest of the day. It allows me to be sustained till lunch and keeps my mind sharp. It’s essential to notice that though Shakeology is a meal substitute, you can actually drink it at any time outside of your three main meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The comfort of the drink is what makes this meal alternative so efficient!
Shakeology is an outstanding meal replacement that’s made up of over 70+ superfood components to help you drop a few pounds, increase vitality and immunity, improve digestion and regularity, and it may well even lower your cholesterol. My husband’s cholesterol went from 230 to 150 in 6 months. That was also with working out consistently, as well as eating healthy in addition to Shakeology. It is not a magical pill or something that happens overnight. It is about consistency. It slowly helps in getting your body balanced.
is shakeology a good pre workout?
Pre Exercise – With regards to a pre workout, you COULD use Shakeology… but I do not. My husband has a scoop of it when he wakes up early. He has that, waits 15 minutes and then has Energize, the pre workout that both Matt and I have daily. It is great for energy and getting your body going, but truly isn’t made to be a pre workout.
Can Shakeology be a good Post Workout Recovery Drink?
Post Workout Recovery -Directly after my workout I used to have Shakeology, a banana and some L-Glutamine. That gave me protein, carbs and what not, but I definitely still get sore. What I now have, most recently is a Beachbody Performance Line supplement called Recover. I have this ready to go and take it as soon as I’m done with my workout. Then, about 30 minutes later, I will make my Shakeology. I hardly get sore when I have the combo. I will say, there are days that my workouts and the timing of Shakeology don’t coincide. I also share it with my kiddos. So if I can’t get my workout in before the kids wake up, I have it regardless for breakfast.
So it’s not so much of a problem of when to drink Shakeology, but what time of the day is the best time FOR YOU! It is a meal replacement, especially for a woman, so feel free to have it when you feel sapped for energy. I have some friends and clients that love it during the mid afternoon. That time of the day when you might start feeling lethargic. So, know that you are getting the most healthy meal of the day when you drink Shakeology!
