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, ...

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 ...
