Turbo Fire was at my fingertips on the go with Beachbody OnDemand

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 #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!

Week #1 of P90 Update: Thoughts & Progress

Everyone is always saying to me “I’m not ready” or “this isn’t the right time” when it comes to getting started on their health & fitness journey. Well WHEN is the right time and WHEN will you be ready? There is never a ‘right’ time, there will always be some reason to want to start your journey like a wedding, a vacation or an event but why not start your healthy lifestyle because you want to live a happier and healthier life, not because of some event you have to attend or be a part of? Our lives are always going to be unpredictable, there is NEVER going to be the PERFECT time for you to start! Sitting around waiting for that ‘perfect’ or ‘right’ time is not going to get you anywhere and your life is going to just pass you on by and you will always be fighting with yourself on WHEN your ‘right’ time is! No matter what you have going on in your life, START NOW and ease in to it you can’t fail or be GREAT at something you never started!

This week I started on another journey with a NEW workout program….P90!! It was a little bit of a tough week for me when it came to work and just life in general. I may have let the stress get the best of me a few days and had too much to drink and too much to eat, BUT I did still get ALL my workouts in this week, drank my Shakeology every day!

Since this is only Week# 1 for me there are no dramatic results (NOT YET at least!) Here I am doubling up on my Shakeology one day this week because like I said above there was an evening that I let the stress get the best of me and I over indulged on alcohol and greasy food!! EEEKKK!!!

(A little overindulging calls for 2 Shakeology's!!)

This week was great other than that little bit of stress/over indulging! I am really enjoying the P90 workouts and my meal planning has been a HUGE help when it comes to making sure I am staying on track with my nutrition. I am not spending countless hours in the kitchen each night or running out to get something fast and easy!  I really am enjoying how P90 incorporates the weights and the resistance bands into the workouts and that it alternates one day with cardio, the next day with weighted exercises!! AND OMG-oodness, let’s just say I got a REAL BIG surprise when it came to Saturday and the Saturday Special workout!! WoooooWEEEEE that was a toughie!! But it felt GREAT!!

My plan this week is to commit to 2 days a week double workouts AND to stick to my meal plan and my workouts daily! No distractions this week!  What will be your plan this week?

Can you challenge yourself to do more?!? Keep your eye on the prize and those goals front and center in your mind!

All in all, I am LOVING the P90 workout program so far, I will continue to share my weekly progress and thoughts with you so you can get a glimpse into what my 90 days are going to be like!!

I am wishing you a FANTASTIC week! Go out there and be a *GOAL DIGGER* this week, and always remember I'm cheering you on from the sidelines!!!!
