Insanity

Alright, it’s been a few days since I last posted but I’ve been super busy with work and life in general that I’m definitely in need of some relaxation time.

So yesterday, Monday December 2nd, I started my first day of Insanity. It was only the fit test and man oh man can I feel it today. I can definitely tell this is going to push me to my limits and beyond, but I’m ready for a challenge and a life changing routine.

With Insanity I have to eat a crap load of food, which is going to be difficult for me to even eat all of it. 5 meals a day can be pretty difficult to conquer.

My breakfast, which is a high-protein whole-grain ceral, flax seeds, a banana and milk. I usually use unsweetened almond milk but I forgot to bring it with me today.

Who doesn’t love cottage cheese? Nom nom nom!

And my first time last night I made chicken meatballs with whole grain noodles and marinara sauce. Soooooo good and so healthy.

I’m excited that I can eat the foods I really enjoy and not feel like I’m totally lacking something. Heck, I’m human and I still crave the bad foods but I tell myself all this hard work will be worth it once I reach my goals.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving, whether you’re traveling or staying home!

Today marks the 30th and final day of my challenge through my Beachbody coach…

I lost 16 pounds and 13 inches!!

Yes I worked my ass off to achieve that and I am so proud of myself, I am human and cheated a few times on the meal plan but I didn’t let that slow me down.

Heck, I even got 4 miles in today at the gym and set a new time record of 44:30!

Next week Monday I start an Insanity challenge group! I’m ready for this new challenge and I am looking forward for more results 🙂

Sending love to everyone today!

Drumroll Please…

Today marks the day that I am down 30 POUNDS from my highest weight!

I am super excited to continue this journey and keep the progress coming. Hard work really does pay off and the majority of this weight I have gotten off of me in less than 3 months.

All it takes is a lifestyle change and some motivation to make your life better. I couldn’t be more happy than I am right now at this time in my life.

Have a wonderful Wednesday 🙂

My Progress

The picture on the left is from Febuary 2013, and the picture on the right was just taken this month.

Don’t think you could lose weight? Use this as motivation! If I can do it, so can you!

I have a long way to go to reach my goals but seeing the difference makes me want to push myself farther!

It’s Official!

I am now a Team Beachbody Coach!

I’m super excited to start my journey as a coach and extend my support to those who are struggling with weight issues like I am. I’m ready to put more into my health and this is the perfect way to do it!

Happy Monday! 🙂

Feeling Under the Weather

So I’m taking it easy and enjoying a cup of hot chocolate, thank you keurig.

Head colds, headaches, and not being able to breathe completely sucks. Getting plenty of rest today so this yuck will go away.

Hope everyone else is having a wonderful Sunday!

Happy Friday!

Hope everyone has a great and successful Friday! Can’t wait to get a workout in later 🙂

Going to be starting this the Monday after Thanksgiving. I’m definitely ready for the challenge!

Another Chilly Run By The Lake
