Monday Momentum:: Its about to get crazy!!



Happy Monday!!  We are almost halfway through summer and there is no time to waste. 😉

I have hit a plateau and boy is it frustrating!!  I guess you could say I'm stuck in a little rut. My focus this week is to continue my gallon a day (celebrating 2 weeks with no soda!!🙌🙌) and eating A LOT cleaner for dinner. During the days I do so well eating clean and eating smaller meals every 2-3 hours.  And then dinner rolls around, 😒 we eat with friends/family 4-5 times a week followed by dessert. Some days I can resist that dessert but others, I get sucked back in to the old ways. I pay for it the next day because my tummy gets mad at me, but I need to be stronger. 

So I'm changing it up!!  I gotta let my body know that my mind is the boss of me!! 😉 If there's one thing I've learned this year, it's that weightloss and eating clean is more a battle of the mind than anything else. 

Today, Monday, I will kick off the momentum of a hybrid program. This program will be a combination of Insanity and Turbofire. I'm choosing to do this because I get a great burn in my lower body with Insanity; not to mention that it challenges me to my very core!!  And I'm absolutely loving Turbofire for my cardio and arms. 

Starting this morning with HIIT 15!  Chalene gives Shaun T's T25 a run for his money. In 15 minutes I was SWEATING!!!  Tomorrow, I'll be doing insanity. 

I took my measurements this morning to see how I'm doing and as a starting point to see how mixing these two programs will affect my progress. In the last six months I've lost 18.6 lbs and 9 inches. 

Now to some, this may not sound like a lot but it's something I'm proud of. I've not once "dieted," counted calories or points. I've just slowly changed my habits so that this really will become a new way of life. I'm excited that now, when I eat good clean food, I feel great and when I don't- well, I don't feel good either!!  



Here's a sample of the calendar I'll be following:: 



I'm so pumped about this new scheduled!!! 
Every new day is an opportunity to be better than the day before!  Put those blinders on and just think, you vs you. Don't look at the body to the left and don't look at the dessert 🍰 to the right. Just focus on your goals and CRUSH 'EM!!!!!

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, ...

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 ...

The Dreaded Plateau!!!!

It's true!!  The plateau has been haunting me for 6 weeks!!!  YES, I SAID 6 WEEKS!!  That scale has not budged and I am DETERMINED to make the change in the foods I eat so that I can break through this wall.  I have been hitting my workouts hard and know that it has to be the types of food that I have been eating.  I eased up A LOT on the "no soda" rule and haven't been drinking a full gallon of water each day.  I have had cheat days instead of cheat meals and WAY too much RANCH!!!  A good ranch dressing has got to be my biggest weakness other than sweets.  It's like I told my challengers last week: saying "no" is difficult!!  It does get easier but it still takes effort and focus on WHY you are doing this!! Today, I am going to match the determination in my diet to the dedication in my workouts!! I have been undoing all of the hard work I have been putting in over the last two month.  Today, I have decided to complete the challenge wi...
