August Meal Prep | Week Four

I’m getting a little bit more creative with my food this week. I’m getting rid of a carb this week and replacing it with my veggies and more protein. I was a little bummed about giving up a carb but I know that carb cutting has to be done if I want to be leaner. Cutting is definitely rough for me because i automatically think I’m going to die without carbs but I know that I’m just fine. My carbs are saved for my lunches so that I get my fix in the middle of the day and of course Waymon isn’t cutting anything so I’m forever envious of the food he gets to eat.

Shift Shop | Week One

This is such an amazing workout and its fun! That’s weird for me to say right because it’s a workout, but it’s so true. It’s fun and I think it’s honestly fun because of Chris. He makes these workouts fun because he’s doing them with you. His personality definitely comes out in the videos and he makes you want to work out with him. This workout reminds me so much of CDF. You don’t feel like you’re working out but you definitely are. I’m 2 minutes in and every single day I’m dripping sweat. It’s disgusting but it feels so damn good! 

My improvements this week has definitely been my motivation to work out and my food! My motivation to get through these 21 days is out of this world. I haven’t been this excited to work out since CDF. My food has also been on point! Ugh and it feels so freaking good to say that. I’m getting to the point in my journey that dropping the weight and inches lost are going to be something that only comes if I stay on target with my food. I’m a sucker for anything sweet so if I keep track of my food and stay on point the ABS will come! I’m also at the lowest weight I’ve been in YEARS and I’m so excited to even type that. I can’t wait to see what this week has to bring!

21 Day Fix Extreme| Round One Results

I’ve been in a slump in regards to my workouts. Completing 21 days of a program was such a refreshing start for me. Most of this summer has been me enjoying life and honestly getting back to myself after grieving. I feel like I’m stronger than ever now after this program. It’s a great way to start the last half of 2017. I’m ready to hit my goals harder than ever to get to where I need to be! My results aren’t the best, but this part of my progress I feel will be the hardest as I’m now focusing on losing inches instead of losing the weight. I’m proud to say that this is the lowest weight I’ve been since the start of my journey. I’m getting to my goals slowly but surely.

 Did I cheat? Yes, I had chocolate and I gave into hot Cheetos. Did I feel bad? Hell no! I’m human and I give in to what I want because giving in doesn’t mean indulging into whatever bad food I’m eating. I’m not depriving my cravings. I’m learning more and more about balance in life and what it takes to make this change a lifestyle. I'm ready for a new program! Bring it Shift Shop!
