Awesome In April

Have the desire to be fit and healthy, get that eating under control and feel awesome?  Need some encouragement, a plan AND daily accountability?  I have the program for you!

THIS CAN BE YOU!!!

Ive come a Long way on this journey!

The past year has been full of changes for me.  Maybe its the fact that my children *nearly* sleep through the night now and I once again can think with a clear head.  Maybe its just getting older.  Maybe its my new life as a mom and property owner, we've been stationed here for almost 10 years now and are truly a part of the community now.

I don't know.  But I like it.

3 months of work!  ...plus birthdays, wine and Christmas, no starving, only fun to get these results!

Emergen-C Review, lots of flavor options! and FREE sample!

I've had Emergen-C in the past, maybe only a couple times.  I was lucky enough to be chosen to do a review for them and received a wonderful variety to try!

Avoiding the 'Danger Food' zone

I am generally a fairly controlled eater.  I generally like most healthy foods.  I generally don't eat so much I make myself sick.  Generally.

With a lot of my recent health and food education with Beachbody I feel pretty confident that I am choosing what is best for my body most of the time.  My portions are generally ideal for me and not often do I do any emotional eating any more.

There are a couple exceptions and I refer to these as my 'Danger Foods'.

sunday check in

i started the 21 Day Fix last tuesday. i have been eating a healthy diet every. single. second. since.  i have done my 30 minute dvd workout every day this week.

and here i am, 6 days later, feeling stronger and slimmer. i thought it was all in my mind. then i took measurements.

and I couldn't believe my eyes.......

The BIG magic secret to weight loss.

Being a mom is busier that i had ever imagined.  I spend pretty much 100% of my time and thoughts on my children.  I cook them wonderful and healthy meals, i make sure they are challenged both mentally and physically and have an emotionally secure and stable upbringing.   .....and of course this includes the constant cleaning up after, driving them everywhere, playing with dollies, messy crafts and our version of 'homeschooling' because my girls love learning SO much.....

This does not leave much time for mom.  Familiar?

I have gained a few unhealthy pounds in the past couple years.  I recently discovered that my winter jeans did in-fact NOT fit.  This was a pretty big problem for me.

On October 10 I signed up with MyFitnessPal(its a free phone app BTW) and have been striving to be healthier ever since.  Documenting my food daily- being careful, VERY careful to stay within my caloric goal and 2-3 easy workouts per week.  (easy because I'm out of shape!)

Today is Day 30.  I AM DOWN A TOTAL OF 6 POUNDS!!!

I didn't starve, I didn't kill myself with workouts, I didn't take magic pills, didn't join a gym,  didn't buy a budget-busting food plan......  sure, those things will generally work, and some are super great BUT there is a good old fashioned way to do it too.....  and its free!

The big HUGE secret?  Its all numbers!  My number output was greater than my input.  Simple.

I chose healthy foods, documented every. single. thing. I put into my body, did a few easy workouts, and voila!

Now that I'm feeling a little healthier and more like myself i am ready to bump it up a notch!  Daily strength challenges, more workouts, lots of healthy gourmet food!  Im feeling freaking awesome!
