Kansas City Fitness Program
Over the past 5 months, I have participated in a program called the Kansas City Fitness Program. The program is a community of people who support one another and the goal of course is to lose weight. I really wish I would have written during the initial 12 weeks as they were amazing. I was able to lose 27 lbs by being part of this amazing group/concept.
The program gave us membership to 7+ gyms (most were 40+ miles from me), weekly weigh ins and adventure run. Each Team gave encouragement, support and advice to one another. It became a family. The most valuable part of this was the membership to all the different gyms that was the opportunity of a lifetime to be able to try out all the different programs, classes and facilities.
I was on the Teal Team and our group was awesome. The top 5 in % of weight lost during the 12 weeks also received a makeover, and photoshoot for the Kansas City Fitness Magazine.I finished 4th in my group and got the makeover and photo shoot!!
The most important part of this program is the accountability. I have never been someone who takes classes, they intimidated me. However having my fit family there with me made all the difference. I experienced, boxing, sand workouts, classes with at least 10 different trainers. It was awesome.
In addition to the workouts we also had a life coach and a meeting with a nutritionist to support us wholly on this program. It was absolutely amazing.
The program supported me and helped me so much inside and out. It was so much more than a weight loss program I consider it a life change program. Check it out

I wanted to share a recipe I have absolutely loved eating as a treat.
Protein Pudding
Prepare in vitamix
1 cup of 1 % cottage Cheese
.25 cup of coconut milk (unsweetened)
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
3 packets of truvia (or stevia)
1 Tblsp Chunky peanut butter
1Tblsp PB2
1 tsp Raw cacao powder
(optional) splash of vanilla extract
Mix in vitamix on slow speed 1-3 (may need to pushdown to help mix then speed to mix it thoroughly. (mix approximately 2 minutes until well blended and smooth)
This amount makes 4 1/2 cup servings there are approximately 221 calories per serving.
You can go to Spark People to their recipe calculator if you add additional ingredients or use a different type of cottage cheese. They taste like a Reeses peanut butter cup. I make these for my afternoon snack and take to work with me.
