P90 Results are IN & The the Start of My Insanity Max 30 Journey Begins!!!

Sooooo OK OK OK!! I admitted I was a slacker with my weekly update posts with P90 and I SOOOO apologize for that!! BUT the results are in and I am going to be 100% honest with you on this one!!! 

P90 was a GREAT program, I actually love changing it up and this was a nice switch up for sure! BUT 90 days is ROUGH and it's alot, let's be honest!! It got a little repetitive and I feel like some days I was just going through the motions. In my opinion, this program is definitely GREAT for someone who is just starting on their journey or getting back into working out, I wouldn't recommend for someone who has done harder/more intense programs such as FocusT25 or the 21 Day Fix. With that being said, my results are in and I did exactly what I wanted to do, toned up and maintained my weight!!! 

My measurements:

Before:                    After: 

Arm: 9.5                    Arm 9.5 

Bust: 28.5                   Bust 28.5

Waist: 25                    Waist: 25

Hips: 33                     Hips: 33

Thighs: 18                    Thighs: 18

Weight: 111.8                    Weight: 111.0

Mission Accomplished!

I can say that I am happy with my results from P90, losing more weight was not something that I wanted so this worked out perfectly for me!! I can definitely see more toning & shaping of that boooootttyyyy {which by the way was NON EXISTENT before Beachbody! ;)} and that's what I wanted!! 

Today I started my Insanity Max 30 journey and I couldn't be more excited but I must say I am gonna miss my weights/sculpting exercises from P90!!

Insanity Max 30 is NO JOKE!!! Let me just tell you that!!! Cardio, cardio and MORE cardio!! But I loved every minute of it!! Having ShaunT yelling and pushing me through when I am sooooo ready to give up is just what I needed after P90! (Tony Horton is much more laid back!) I cannot wait to see what the next 60 days brings, I know this workout program is going to push me harder than I have ever been pushed and I am excited for that and to grow through this program! 

I maxed out @ 16:52 very PROUD moment!!! 

NOW onto everyone's favorite part......the FOOD!!!! Insanity Max 30 follows the 21 Day Fix meal plan with the containers which is soooooo COOL!!! I have been following a pretty good plan of my own but wanted to step it up a notch with Insanity Max 30 to maximize my results so I sat down with the book, planned out my meals and voila! Meal plan=DoNeZo!! 

Ssssshhhh....Meal Planning in Progress!!!

It's nothing too crazy and I am totally used to eating the same thing daily because that is what works for me (everyone is different!), whatever works for you stick to it! I am not saying this meal plan is right or wrong I just know that it has worked for me! With that being said I plan to stick to this 100% throughout the week and give myself some 'cheats' in moderation on the weekends!  I will most definitely be having my 'comfort food' and healthiest meal of the day of Shakeology everyday for sure!!! Shakeology does a body good! Here is what I have come up with for my 1st week meal plan and I was shocked, I was actually FULL today and wasn't hungry or 'hangry' (angry/hungry LOL!)!!

I am so excited to go on this journey and cannot wait to share it with you!! I plan to share weekly updates (if my life isn't CRAZY!!) with you so you can go on this journey with me!! 

If you have EVER wondered what all this crazy Beachbody/Shakeology is all about, let's chat and see if one of these AMAZING programs would be a good fit for you!!!

P90 Week #6 Update: Thoughts & Progress {and a little bit of meal prep!}

OK so I finished Week #6!!! I cannot believe that I am already on week #6 of P90!!! Crazy how time flies when you are having fun! 

I want to address something really quickly because I have been hearing this ALOT lately.....'she is so lucky to have that body', 'you are so lucky to have all that energy', 'he is so lucky to have those muscles'......and I could go on and on and on!!! Let me just say this >>>>>>> The things that happen in your life don't happen by the 'magic' of LUCK or lack there of, they happen because of the work you are putting in to make them happen! We make our own luck! That girl didn't get that body, I didn't get my energy and that guy didn't get his muscles by pure luck.....we worked our A** of for it!! Ask yourself right now today, are you putting in the work (no matter what the end goal is) to reach your goals and get results? 

Month #2 of P90 is still kicking my butt and I LOVE it!!! My body changes daily and I worked up enough guts this week to share a little progress pic with ya >>>>

(I am finally HAPPY with the way my stomach looks!!)

This progress pic has been a long time coming, 7 months to be exact! I have been working my butt off and I can finally say that I am happy with the way my stomach looks! Has it been easy??? HELL NO!!! Has it been worth it??? YES, very worth it!!! 

I finally kicked myself outta whatever little *funk* I was in the past few weeks and really kicked butt this week with my workouts and my eating, but then the dreaded FLU BUG hit our house, thankfully it only lasted about 2 days {thanks to Shakeology!} and I didn't have to miss a workout!!! 

AND THEN the AMAZING InsanityMax30 was delivered on my doorstep this week!!! I was so excited that in honor of the new program and receiving it we totally had to try it out!!! INSANE it sure is but I loved it and there is a modifier too, so when you reach your max out point you can totally follow her lead or take the break you need! This program WANTS you to MAX OUT the point is to push you further than you EVER thought you'd go! 

My momma always taught me to finish what I start so I WILL be finishing P90 and when I am finished >>>>> I am coming for you ShaunT!!! 

Sooooo excited!!!

Ohhhhh we definitely #MAXEDOUT!!

All in all I had a really GREAT week and it starts with me setting myself up for SUCCESS, not failure, by planning & prepping my husband and I's meals for the week!!! It's so easy to get off track if you don't have a meal at your fingertips to grab, you'll end up grabbing some sort of fast food and regret it later! So as promised, here is a little glimpse into my Sunday meal prepping!!!

One thing that I have NEVER claimed is that we eat a 100% clean diet! We eat a semi-clean diet and that's what works for us! I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to chicken and it MUST have some sort of breading on it for me to eat it.....these Perdue Gluten Free, Natural Chicken Tenders (can be found at Giant Eagle or Walmart) were a GREAT find for me!!! They are so yummy and good for me! Now for my hubby I found these trusty little John Soules Food All Natural, Gluten Free Chicken Fajitas strips (can be found at Sam's Club),  and I also add a baked potato into his meals each day, he's not too picky about food so he will eat whatever I make for him!  Sooooooo then I buy a BIG bag of broccoli (can be found at Sam's Club), cook it up and put a 1 cup serving in each of our meals! I make enough lunches and dinners for the both of us for 5 days! That gets us through the work week and keeps us on track since we drink Shakeology daily for breakfast! This may not be the RIGHT way to do it but it is what works for us, I am not spending tons and tons of hours cooking each week, we stay on track and we are losing & maintaing our weight all while eating healthy! If you have ever questioned meal prepping and just don't know where to start feel free to get in touch with me I'd be happy to help you get started! 

Lastly did you know that 2 out of 3 adults are overweight? WOW that's a scary statistic to me!! I am so happy that I am a part of a company that HELPS and CARES about getting our country healthy and ending the trend of obesity! YOU can do this and I want to help you do it, help you LOVE yourself again, help you make changes for LIFE!!
If you have ever had the thought of making a change and you let fear get the best of you......just send me a message and let's chat, no obligation or pressure, just some conversation on how I can help you make those changes to a happier, healthier you!

P90 Week #4 & Week #5 Update: Thoughts & Progress

SOOOOO I hope you ALL had a GREAT Thanksgiving Holiday!!! Sorry this is coming to you so late and a week behind, BUT >>>>>

<<<<< the last 2 weeks have been crazy busy around here!! With hosting Thanksgiving for our 1st time EVER, work and the day in-day outs of life, it's been hectic to say the least! And let me tell you it HAS NOT been easy getting my workouts in and sticking to my nutrition, that's for sure! I may have slip ups sometimes but I will not let a busy life let those old/bad habits creep back into my life and ruin all my hardwork!!

With that being said let's get into my FINAL week (week #4/Month #1) of P90....2 words, NOT EASY!! I was in a FUNK for some reason, not sure what it was but I did get my workouts in everyday, some days were much harder to get it done than others but thankfully with my 'accountability partner in crime' by my side it made it much easier on the tough days to push myself! I ALWAYS say how important it is to have accountability and support and this week for me proved that to be TRUE!!

**I DID IT!!! I finished my 1st month of P90 and I couldn't be happier!!**

I was soooooo excited to be starting my Month #2/Week #5 of P90! I am absolutely LOVING this workout program! The incorporation of weights, cardio and full body workouts is very challenging and I am hooked!! I definitely had a LOVE/HATE relationship with Tony Horton this past week >>>> Month #2 definitely takes it up a notch, it's been awhile since a workout program made me sore for an entire week and P90 accomplished that this past week!!! It was another tough week for me and I struggled (I think it's this crappy weather....I need some SUN in my life!) but I didn't use it as an excuse to take a break or slack off! No matter how I felt I got my workout done and gues what??? I ALWAYS felt better afterwards! 

I am not one to sugar coat things for others and I am even harder on myself so here it is......even though I got my workouts in no matter what, I totally struggled with my eating!!! With Thanksgiving, hecticness of the holidays and stress it was rough! I did NOT go overboard but I definitely indulged more than I would've liked over the past 2 weeks!! I have not gained any weight (ALL thanks to my savior ----> Shakeology!), thankfully but I just don't feel GOOD, I feel tired, bloated and just BLAH and I am not liking it at all!!

 (Love my Vegan Chocolate: Salted Caramel Pretzel Shakeology)

(Recipe:)

(*1 Packet/Scoop of Vegan Chocolate Shakeology)

(*1/2 Cup Original Silk Almond Milk)

(*1 bottle of water)

(*1 Tsp of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt)

(*1 Tsp of Caramel Extract)

(*about 10-12 pieces of ice, blend and ENJOY!!)

It is time to kick my own A** outta this little funk I am in and *suck it up buttercup*!! I am done with feeling crappy like I have the past 2 weeks and I am going ALL in from here on out! Christmas is coming and I am setting myself up for success for 2015!! 

Meal planning and prepping for this week took place today (blog coming soon on that!) and I am ready to take this week head on!! Sometimes it gets tough and it's not always pretty but when you feel like throwing in the towel (I felt that way a few times over the past 2 weeks) remember WHY you started on this journey and let that be your driving force to KEEP GOING and NEVER GIVE UP! 

If you are ready to set yourself up for {SUCCESS IN 2015} message me NOW, today!! Trust me, the conditions will never be perfect, but there is no better time than now to commit to YOU and to ring in the New Year on the right track!!

P90 Week #3 Update: Thoughts & Progress

This is soooooo the truth for this past week for me! As I sit and reflect on this past week and weekend it has been a busy one to say the least! As I am planning my week ahead and getting ready for our first Thanksgiving that we will be hosting, I am just taking a breather and being thankful for what I have and who I have in my life, right now in this moment! I am making the decision to ‘just breathe’ all this week when I know at times it may get overwhelming but it will ALL be worth it in the end!
Are you taking moments and just reflecting and ‘breathing’ through the hard/stressful things? I say if not, start tonight, wake up tomorrow ready to take on anything because you know if it gets to tough you can just step back, take a deep breath and move on!

Soooo now onto Week #3 of P90! This week seemed much easier for me, I was motivated, stuck to my meal plan and workouts 100% and it has paid off! I loved week #3 of P90 and I can honestly say that I am finally starting to see changes within myself and my body! I wanna share my {stats} with you thus far.....here goes nothing......I know, I know I should've waited until week #4 to weigh in and measure but I just couldn't help myself sooooo, thus far I have lost about 1.5 lbs. (which is totally fine with me I didn't want to lose any really!) and lost around 5-6 inches all over!!! WOW, just WOW!! It's crazy what you can get when you eat clean, workout for a 1/2 hour 6 days a week and want it bad enough to put the hard work in!! 

It was a GREAT week for me with my workouts and also my nutrition as I stated above! I followed my meal plan 100%, some days were a struggle but that will happen and I know that I just know that I LOVE the results I see when I am 100% on track so I do my best to stick to it! Now I will say I do have my little *cheats* on the weekends and with Thanksgiving coming up I will probably have some BUT I make sure it is done in moderation and I never over indulge!

This week I will do my best to control my portions during Thanksgiving dinner and keep my *cheats* to a minimum! Because the 1 thing I do know is that if my nutrition/diet is OFF everything gets thrown off and I haven't put all this hard work in to ruin it for something that I probably won't enjoy anyways! 

Cannot wait to see what this next week brings from me and P90 and to be able to say that I completed my first 30 days of the program and then onto the next Phase!! It's a great feeling that's for sure! 

Always remember, you can do anything that you think you are BIG enough to do! Don't ever sell yourself short, go out and do the great things you were desitned to do! YOU GOT THIS!!! Have a great week and HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!

P90 Week #2 Update: Thoughts/Progress

Welp, it’s that time where I am preparing for my busy week ahead and reflecting on this past week!! It would definitely be easy for me to come up with a lot of excuses to how it’s too much and I can give up! There are always lots of temptations, excuses/reasons and things for me to get done or do but I don’t let that stuff get inside my head. I want BIG things and I have BIG dreams/goals and I WILL do what it takes to reach them, no matter what!
Are you ready to ROCK the week ahead? Make your decision that you will take this week head on with a #noexcuses attitude and wake up everyday with a smile and ready to start your day! #letsdothis!!

NOW, time to talk about Week# 2 of P90!!!

Week #2 was HARD, the adrenaline of Week #1 was over and now it was time to #suckitupbuttercup!!!!  I can really see why people quit in week 2. It is definitely a tough week! I thankfully I have my AMAZING accountability partner in crime and my Challengers in my Challenge group to help hold me accountable when I'm ready to 'throw in the towel' because believe me I am JUST like YOU, I have days where I want to quit, but then I just remember why I started and how far I have come!!  Bottom line is.....if you want results then you have to go the extra mile and push harder than you did yesterday!

Now onto the nutrition aspect of my week.....I was very proud of myself this week I stuck to my meal plan, didn't make any pitstops at the bakery up the street from where I work and I drank my Shakeology everyday! I have also done GREAT with my water in take, it's easy for me because I actually like drinking water and the way it makes me feel! One thing I have and continue to struggle with is drinking enough water on the weekends and also being as strict food wise as I am during the week! I am a work in progress so my main focus this week is to #STICKTOIT 100%, no cheats whatsoever!!

One fun and exciting thing for me this weekend was that it was the weekend of my 15 year high school reunion!!! I cannot believe that it's been 15 YEARS already!! Wow time sure does fly by!! It was a great night and I got to see, hangout with, catch up and dance the night away with ALL my old friends and some that I am still close with! We all ended the night at a local bar and then off home my hubby and I went to cuddle with our little guy, we missed him while we were gone (even though we know he was in GREAT hands with my Dad watching him!)

Can't wait to get this next week started!! And remember.....we can do anything we put our minds to! Planning is KEY on this journey and to your SUCCESS! Tracking my exercise and food/water in take daily is what totally keeps me on track! Do you track your food & exercise?

Being on this journey is no walk in the park but it's worth it!!! P90 is a GREAT program if you wanna know more about it get in touch with me and I will gladly give you more details on how to get you started NOW!
