Day 4 of the 21 Day Fix

I have to say I am doing great!  I have kept to the diet and the workouts.  Again my starting weight was 255.5 and this morning I was at 249.7, so it's an improvement.  I also have to confess that I enjoy eating this way because I don't feel bloated or icky after eating like I do with what I was eating 4 days ago.  My meals have been basically mirror images of Day one so I'm not going to go into detail on what it was, just review my first post.  So for today this is my meal.

Breakfast:
Plain Oatmeal - Yellow
Strawberries/Kiwi - Purple

Lunch:
Chocolate Shakeology with cold coffee in it so kinda like a Mocha Chocolate (I was to lazy this morning to make something else, so I'm using this for one meal replacement, yesterday I had one for breakfast). - Red

Snack:
Almonds - blue

Dinner:
Whole wheat noodles - yellow
plain tomato sauce - green
romaine Lettece - green
sweet peppers/onion/cucumber - green
dressing - orange
Spinach - green


 4 green (2 remain), 1 purple (3 remain), 1 red (5 remain), 2 yellow (2 remain), 1 blue (0 remain), 1 orange (0 remain).

My workouts have been going great, I have been having allot of prolbems with my knees, but for those of you that know me I will work through pain & the only thing that is stopping me is if I seriously cannot move.  That my friends have always been my stubborn side, don't give up.  I just did the modified for the lunges/squats or whatever else I  have to do that really bother my knees and it's working so far.  My goal (or what I hope) is to really strengthen my knees and hopefully the get much better or at least to what they were alittle over a yeaar ago. 

Ok, that is all my friends..  Until next time..........

21 Day Fix- Beachbody Challange

Well, today is the starting day of my challange.  I went out shopping yesterday for the the fresh foods I need to help me be successful.  I'm ready for this and this is so needed right now. 

So far so good, not too hungry (I'll write down my meal plan for today).  Only thing is I have just been overcome by horrible stomach cramps, that I feel like I want to puke.  I did just have a bad case of diarrhea (TMI, I know, but have to keep tabs on this).  My stomach is still cramping and making some aweful noises.  I'll have to hold off on lunch to see if this passes. 

I have my starting weight, but I have to do measurements and before pictures tonight.  I've gained a few pounds since before I'm at 255.5, UGH.  I hate taking my medicine for my knees cuz it doesn't help with weightloss, but it helps majorly with my knees.  Oh, well big news for me..... I will be 21 days without any alcohol, LOL!

I don't have much else to report, but below is my meals for today.  I have encluded the container colors.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal - Yellow
Blue/red berries - Purple

Snack:
Chocolate Shakeology Peanut butter (all natural) & banana

Lunch:
Lettuce - green
Peppers/cucumbers/onions - green
black beans - yellow
feta cheese - blue

Snack:
Cashews - blue

Dinner:
Chicken breast - red
brown rice - yellow
broccoli - green
cauliflower - green
salsa - purple

Pumped up

Well, when I got home last night my nice little package from Beachbody was there waiting for me.  I read thru all the books and wrote a shopping list for the weekend and I am so pumped to kick ass starting Monday!  I am determined to get amazing results and to motivate any of you non-believers out there and to motivate anyone else that may be on the edge or affraid to take that first step. 

The challange pack that I am starting with is 21 Day Fix and what it basically is, is clean eating and only 30 minute daily work outs.  Now if you cannot take just 30 mins out of your day to do a quick but very effective workout than I don't really know what to say.  If you have kids and they are cutting into your time then have them work out with you.  My twin 4 year olds & 2.5 year old loves to copy mommy!  I have read about so many amazing results on this challange that I have HIGH hopes for myself.  I know it will take lots of determination and dedication, but I know personally I can do it.  I won't lie I know it will be hard at first adjusting to clean eating compaired to my currently not completely clean eating.   My goal is to use this plan to get myself moving and highly  motivated.  I know that it's already the beginning of Summer, but even if I look great by the end of Summer I'd be happy.  I just wanna feel healthy and look great. 

So, this challange will be started on Monday, June 9th but today I decided to have me some Shakeology for breakfast & lunch and the same thing tomorrow.  Today I made a strawberry lemonade shake and for lunch I made a chocolate, banana & PB shake (it was the BOMB).  Tonight is seasoned chicken breast with corn & maybe salad for me.  I'm not sure what I'm making tomorrow, but I will be sure to let you know if it was good or if it was absolutely horrible. 

Oh and another thing (embarrassed) the scale read 252.5 this morning, UGH... I need to stop eating bad, so Monday is the day and my goal is to continue eating clean and feel great.

Well, that's about it for today.  My awesome sisters & nephew are coming into town tomorrow night, so I'm not sure how much I'll get on over the weekend, but I will post tomorrow afternoon. 

Until next time.................Peace

This has been long awaited for!!

Hi all!  I know I've been really bad at keeping up with my blog, but I have done something in the past month and it makes me want to keep track of my progress so I PROMISE to keep up with my posts. 

Well things have changed in the past several months.  I am now employeed full-time and loving it at the moment.  Miss being home with my kids, but this is a much needed break for me.  Sadly with the weather getting nice and my husband picking up more jobs on his part-time lawn buisness I haven't been able to get to the gym.  Since they don't open till 5am I have to be home by 6am (that's when DH leaves for work) then after work the twins are currently involved in karate and T-ball.  I was going when DH got home from grass cutting which was right after the kids go to bed and it work great, but with more lawns now he doesn't get home till 8:30-9pm.  I have thought & could take the trio to the gym with me after work on our free days but then I'd feel like an absolute horrible mom cuz I won't get much time with them in the evenings.  I know this is all an excuse and that there is always a way, eh?!?!?!  So I have put on a few pounds and my clothes show it.  They are fitting snug lately.  I am also playing on two co-ed softball teams Friday & Sunday night, so losing a few poundage will definitely make me feel better about myself.

Well the BIG news is I have became a Beachbody Coach and I am excited and motivated to help myself and others on the journey of becoming healthy.  I cannot wait to get started.  I have done a three day cleanse with Shakeology and I felt AWESOME (lost 6.7lbs), but that weekend to much beer ruined it!   Basically the three day cleanse consists of a shake in the morning & lunch for a snack in the am & pm you can have fruit (I added my fruit to the shake instead of having it later) then for dinner you have a salad and you can add as many veggies as you want.  Then as a snack in the evening another shake.  It worked great and I thought I was going to have major hunger pains, but I didn't plus being busy with work and the kids I didn't have the time to think about it. 

My next step as a coach is I order the 21 Day Fit challange package (currently being delivered today, Wahoo).  I am really looking forward to starting this.  There has been amazing success stories from this package and I'm really determined to be one of those amazing stories.  The best part is the vidoes consists of only 30 min workouts, so no more excuses from me about not being able to work out cuz I can do it in my own home with the kids (they love doing video's with me).  The hardest part of this challange that I think will be is figuring out what food you can have & what not, but I am determined.  I might actually wait till Monday to start because my sisters are coming into town this weekend and there is a big cookout so I'm better off waiting, but we'll see what happens. 

I'm already thinking about to what my next package is going to be... and getting excited.  If anyone wants to follow me and see my results and are interested in trying it out themselves please feel free to visit the links below or contact me if you have questions or don't know which package would be great for you.  The BEST thing too, is if you're not satisfied or just don't think it's right for you then there is a 100% money back gaurentee.
