Week 3 of T25

So I just finished up Week 3 of T25. I am still having good results, I am trying to stay on track and eat right,I watch what I am eating all the time. I try to keep sweets and goodies to a minimum. This week I only missed 1 day of workout. Well 2 actually but I made the 2nd one up, so I doubled up on Thursday and then again on Friday as per the schedule. I am seeing the changes especially in how my clothes are fitting me. I feel so much better in them and things that were tight not that long ago are getting much looser. The pounds lost are slowing down but then I know because last weekend I ate a lot of bad stuff so I am sure that is the problem. Although I did eat pretty healthy all week long. So here are my updated stats. I have lost 4.9lbs since the start of T25 and 11.5inches overall.

So official current stats are:
Weight: 147.7lbs
Chest: 33"
Waist: 26"
Hips:36"
Thigh:21"
Arm: 11.5"

2 Weeks into Insanity... Making Progress!

I am two weeks done with Insanity, I skipped Friday and Saturday this past week because I did a 5k and after that I am usually SO exhausted just from walking that I cannot do another thing, Friday I was just resting my muscles, I didn't want my calves all sore. Today is my second fit test, I will update with those results this afternoon, I am SO nervous about it! I have no clue why I get myself so worked up, I know I can do it. I know if I need to take a break I can hit the pause button and no one will think badly of me.  My biggest struggle these past two weeks has been getting through the whole workout, I really tire out easily, I think mainly its from my body adjusting to the hard workouts again plus I have read post surgery it takes MONTHS to get back to normal. :(  I have been trying to eat healthy and get lots of rest, I realized I was not eating enough calories when the scale wasn't budging, I kept trying SO hard to not eat poorly and I was averaging too few calories. So this weekend I had a cheat on Friday night and Sat morning the scale dropped. Saturday I tried to behave and yesterday as well, lots of running around this weekend. Oh and yesterday I was sitting down in the afternoon while my little guy napped and my right arm was KILLING me, so I was all trying to flex to see what was up, I have a lil mini muscle! YAY!!! I am getting some muscle now! See I am a dork for my excitment. Hahaha. I also will be adding Energy and Endurance drink to my workouts this week when it arrives, so I am working out to Insanity, drinking Shakeology and will be adding the new supplement.

So time for some stats:
Weight: 156.5 lbs (woot!)
Chest: 33.5"
Waist: 27"
Hips: 38" ( I may have done them wrong previously no clue still learning)
Thighs: 23"
Arms: 12" !!!!

So there it is folks, my progress so far. This is a 60 Day program so I hope to lost more in the coming month. I will post fit test stats this afternoon. :)

Fit Test:
Switch Kicks: 55
Power Jacks: 50
Power Knees: 90!
Power Jumps(modified): 74
Globe Jumps: 7
Suicides: 18
Push ups: 23
Low Plank obliques: 30

Shakeology

 As you all know I am a beachbody coach, I decided to coach to keep myself motivated as well as motivating others and it really helps a lot. Well we have this GREAT shake called shakeology you drink it once a day as snack or a meal. I mix mine up as my lunch normally. I do chocolate silk, shakeo and pb, sometimes I throw in some nutella if we have it on hand. Right now Shakeology is $119.95 it will be going up $10 as of April 1st. If you buy yours on home direct now you will have the lower price for LIFE on non vegan! So get in on this great deal. Every order of Shakeology this month comes with the shaker cup for FREE! I use a blender for mine but its up to you on how you want to make it. Shakeology is made of all natural ingredients no chemicals and its super healthy. Trust me I have done all the other shakes out there and this by far is the best in all areas.

Resting

  So I am a week post op and still laying around like the dr says I should. I am bored but I know that if I attempt to overdo it now I will just be laid up longer or in a much worse situation, neither are appealing to me. So far I am keeping weight off and not gaining anything since the surgery and have been in fact losing. I am hoping to start keeping up with this more often so more people can follow me in my journey. My goal is to start doing Chalean Extreme as soon as the dr clears me to work out again, its a 3 month program to help build muscle and that will also increase weight loss. I would love to get all toned up get rid of my yucky arm flab and Chalene is an AWESOME trainer. I will never stop singing her praises, she is my favorite! :)  

Beachbody news, price increase on Shakeology coming April 1st, order yours now to lock in the $10 lower price for LIFE when you order on home direct which also gives you free shipping.

Another day down

I am into my 10 th week and I was telling my best friend and coach how I didn't see a change. I mean I know there is a change and I notice it more in my clothing than anywhere else but still sometimes you just don't see it for yourself. Sometimes you just see yourself as you always have and its hard to change the way you look at yourself. This journey is a lot of self reflection, discipline and hard work. I think sometimes we take who we are and how we look for granted. If you see yourself as perfect that is great, but we are always a work in progress, there is always something we need to work on. Not just the outside but who we are inside. Sometimes I feel like I have been working out forever, I cannot wait for a small break from it and changing my routine. I am excited to try a new workout routine and see how I change from that. I want to build muscle and tone myself up some more. I don't want to look like a body builder and most normal women won't if they lift weights we just tone up not bulk up not without enhancement.

I think people see those of us who work out as fanatics and not normal. Coaching for me isn't about sales, its about helping people. I LOVE to help people! I want to show others that they CAN do it. I once thought I was too overweight, and I could never get myself into shape. I thought I would have to do some drastic dieting and boring gym workouts which I do not have time for with 2 children and its expensive! I know a lot of people tell me so is what I am doing, but I would rather pay 1 fee for a workout and have it for whenever I want than spend $100/month for a gym membership where I have to drop the kid off to be watched or work around my husband's schedule to get out of the house. The wonderful thing is they have a 30 day money back guarantee on everything for the most part, so if you don't think its working for you return it and get a refund or sell it on ebay. Trust me people are always looking for the workouts from beachbody.

My goal is to buy and look decent in a bikini by summer, big goal I know.. I still struggle with the baby scars of stretch marks, those are still something that I am not completely comfortable with. I know most moms have them, its just hard to get over feeling awkward about them I guess. Is that the right word? We feel awkward?? I am not ashamed of them, I just feel like they are not accepted in society with all these perfect flawless, air brushed models out there. Okay enough of this for today. Workout have fun, eat healthy. Diet is 80%, Exercise is only 20%.

2 more days down

Well I am happy to report my abs are finally feeling less sore, core 20 was killer on my abs. My weight is back on the down swing (woo hoo)! Tomorrow is a rest day for me and I am looking forward to it. Fire workouts are still fun except I still feel like this uncoordinated weirdo during it. HIIT is still hard for me but I follow the modified person to help myself out a bit. I felt better over the weekend with Fire 30 like I was kind of getting the hang of the moves. I had to do 40 minutes of Stretch Monday and it was BORING!


I have so far lost 1 " in my waist and 1" in each thigh. Not a whole lot of change but its a start. I am still excited by it and I am working hard on improving my diet, I am back to logging my food/water intake onto My fitness pal, I love that website its SO helpful! I also love getting recipes from Pinterest it keeps things interesting and gives me new foods to try out. I am not a huge breakfast eater normally but between Pinterest and my Abs Diet Cookbook I have found things I will eat for breakfast. I think I need to go shopping for things to make my Abs Diet Burger, its delicious!!!
