Same Shirt

Same shirt • A few months apart • About a 23 pound difference. 

 

 

I remember after I had my second csection in February, I thought I would spend all summer miserable about my weight. Little did I know just how DETERMINED & STRONG I actually was. I hit my pre pregnancy weight before I knew it and THEN hit the lowest weight of my ENTIRE life and got into the 160's.

I owe this ALL to following the fix meal plan. If it wasn't for portion control + knowing exactly what to eat...I wouldn't be where I am now. I've realized recently (which I've always KNOWN but it became so much more real lately) just how important nutrition is. THAT is where your results come in. And most importantly how you eat is a big factor in how you FEEL. and I just can't believe I ate like crap until I was 27 years old.

Sometimes when you get discouraged you need to take a step back and realize how far you've come. Even if its two pounds. CELEBRATE those two pounds. This journey isn't easy but Dont be like everyone else and give up. We gotta keep going.

Back On Track!

It is time to get BACK ON TRACK!!!

I was being so awesome with my nutrition and BAM!! We went on a mini getaway out of town, stayed in a hotel, and nutrition was not good. I was determined to get right back on track but it was HARD!! Ive been doing great with workouts everyday, but we all know nutrition is KEY! The more sugar we have, the more we CRAVE it so I know this next week is going to be hard. But I'm DETERMINED. I have not been feeling my best and its time to get my ENERGY back!

First things first, I just completed a round of the 21 day fix extreme. (If you want to call it a round because my nutrition was horrible the last half. lol) So its TIME to start a new workout program and I am ready to PUSH myself. 

Since I had Grace in February I have completed the 21 day fix (lost 11.8 pounds) 22 minute hard corps (lost 12+ pounds) and the 21 day fix extreme (eh, maintained). I was thinking what i should do next???

One criteria for my workouts is they have to be a half hour or less. I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old so i dont have time to go to the gym or do an hour long workout in my living room. I need something that is a 1/2 hour, but a great calorie burn at the same time. 

I decided to go with.........

INSANITY MAX 30!

6 days a week. 

30 minutes a day in the comfort of my own living room. 

8 weeks long!!

I'll admit, I'm slightly scared but so ready! 

I have set up a few mini goals for myself this week to get me back on track. 

-Drink one gallon of water a day

-Follow the 21 day fix meal plan as I have since May. 

-Use my portioned containers so i KNOW I'm eating the right amount.  

-NO SUGAR except those found naturally in fruit. 

-Max 30 workouts everyday and PUSH myself through them.  

These things above are all so easy to follow but also so easy not to follow, right???? 

I also went grocery shopping for ALL fix approved food, did some meal prep today, and made out a MEAL PLAN that i plan to follow this week!!

Ill post the meal plan below for those who may want new ideas!  

If im hungry in the morning, I like to eat one of my yellow containers (carbs) before my workout. (Otherwise Ill just have it with my Shakeology) 

You may also notice that I have two snacks back to back before dinner. There's a reason. lol! I like to finish all of my yellow and purple containers before dinner. (carbs and fruits) So right before dinner, around 3-4pm, I will eat my last carb and fruit of the day. My favorite snack is mashed sweet potatoes, 1/2 banana, and 1tsp peanut butter. It is like a DESERT! Then i usually have dinner or protein and veggies around 6. 

I am ready to ROCK this week!! I know its going to be hard detoxing from sugar and getting back on track but 100 percent worth it. Wherever you are at with your journey, I challenge you to start FRESH tomorrow, make a plan, and STICK to it.
