Monday Madness:: STATurday and Weekend Recap

Welcome to my blog!! If you are reading this, then you are allowing me to share my journey with you. Thanks!

I am excited to begin sharing my journey more in depth than I can with facebook and instagram.
So first things first:: the weigh-in! With Shaun T's T25 fitness program, he schedules weigh-in's on Saturday
(hence the name, STATurday). I worked hard this week. It was my first week of insanity and I completed 5 of the 6 workouts that I needed to. Eating was on target most days but I think that is where many of us will always struggle (mmmm...PIZZA). So Saturday I stepped on that scale and saw a small victory: a loss of 1 lbs and 3 inches. I try and workout in the morning so that I don't want to ruin those calories burned, so more than likely I will eat better when I am on a normal workout routine. If not the opposite occurs and it is a vicious cycle of being tired, worn down (from eating crap food) and definitely don't feel like working up a sweat.

This week I plan on eating mostly clean and portion controlling anything else. Breakfast on the days that I work will be Shakeology (I'm currently drinking chocolate but I love vanilla too) and lunches will be mainly clean and portioned controlled meals that I will share with you throughout the week. I am loving the convienence of having my meals prepared for the week. It makes staying on track that much easier! I also plan on doing all six of my insanity workouts this week and push past a 1 lb weight loss. I am happy with a loss of 3 inches, so if that happens again, I won't be complaining.

Have a great week and I can't wait to hear all about your progress!

Happy 3rd Blog-aversary!!

It's been three (3) years to the day since I began blogging. I've taken a LONG break lately as I have had many transitions in my life. But in the past few weeks, I've been considering sharing more about the next stage of this journey called life with you all. In three short years, I have gone from motivating others to experiencing weight gain and depression. Being delivered from said depression and fighting to lose the weight. I'd say sometimes in life, motivation shows up in the difficult times and then sometimes it's no where to be found-- a bit of a roller coaster really. And about a year ago, I was tired. Tired of not getting enough sleep, tired of the structure and I needed a break. This break cost me about 20 lbs and goodness has it been tough to get my mind right again. But I'm experiencing life!! Enjoying the moment! And making memories with my family and friends that have been so good for my soul. And in this season, ...

21 Day Fix Approved French Toast Pancakes

This week begins tax school. Which means twice a week, I will be teaching a bilingual tax course to prepare for next tax season. I really enjoy it, but it can be tricky trying to eat healthy during this time. I remember last year Taco Bell and Hardee's were my "go-to" dinner choices. Fast forward to this year and I'll be having my shakeology for dinner each evening that I teach. It's easy, quick and keeps me full throughout the class. So because of this, I am not having my usual shakeology for breakfast. This morning, I wanted something other than eggs so I looked for a fix approved pancake. Now I've made the low carb pancakes that are only made with banana and egg and they were YUCK! (Just being honest) I was hestitant with these but I hand everything at the house already so there was nothing to loose if they didn't taste good. They have the consistency of French toast with the look and feel of pancakes. I was full until lunch time. Getting 2 reds in ...

The Summit...Would You Start Over?

So as most of you know, I went to Nashville last month for Beachbody's national convention called Summit. It is the most amazing event where people who's purpose is to help others get together, share wonderful ideas/trainings and completely refill your cup before you go back home. This year one of the speakers was talking about completing a workout program in it's entirety when we returned home. And they were telling us not to start over if we hit some bumps in the road. Now, I for one, am a habitual "starter over" so I probably turned a little red (those who know me know how a can get flushed in a split second). In a room of about 14k people, I was feeling like they were talking right to me. But then the best example was given...when you begin a hike/climb up a mountain, if you didn't like how fast you went or your progress in the first few hours, would you start over??? Um...NO way!! That seems like a no-brainer. There's no way that you would ...
