How is Turbo Fire going?

Well I am in Week 4 of my Turbo Fire Transformation.  Things are going great!  Today was HIIT 20 and Sculpt 30.  I continue to love TF and the energy that Chalene brings to class.  She is AMAZING!  On Monday I'm taking my transformation to the next level.  I am going to complete the 5 day inferno plan.  I've heard nothing but great things about the plan. I'm hoping to lose some more weight and inches to help decrease my body fat.  I will provide a daily update of what workout I completed, what foods I ate and how I felt.  On the day after my 5 days, I will provide my overall results and tips learned from the plan. 

I can't wait to share my results.

Turbo Fire Transformation

Well....I am two weeks into my Turbo Fire Transformation.  I'm excited to say that I've followed the schedule pretty much to a "T"!  I still have to get today's workout in but will do so after typing this blog.  I just love Chalene's workouts and look forward to them every day.  Tomorrow I will update the blog and FB Fan Page - 1FitMom4Life, with Day 14 pics.  I'm hoping that I can see some type of change.  Check back in tomorrow to see the results.

Results from 3 Shakeology Cleanse

Well, it's hard to believe that the 3 days of my Shakeology Cleanse are over.  The days went by so quickly.  I did have some temptations as I had family in town but stuck to what I wanted to accomplished.  DRUM ROLL please....here are my results:

Starting weight - 152.4lbs / Ending weight - 146.4lbs / down 6lbs
Starting waist - 29.75in / Ending waist - 29.25in / down .5in
Starting hips - 38in / Ending hips - 37.25in / down .75in

A couple of things that I would like to reiterate about the cleanse:
1.  Follow the program to a T and you will see amazing results.
2.  You will have so much energy during the 3 days.
3.  I was still able to workout while on the cleanse.  I'm currently doing Turbo Fire.
4.  Avoid any temptations.  Don't have things in your kitchen that will make you tempted to mess up.  Don't go to the grocery store where there's junk food, etc.

I'm so glad that I was able to share this journey with you. Continue to follow me as I'll be sharing my Turbo Fire transformation next.

Day 3 of Shakeology Cleanse

Well, today is the final day of my 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse.  The last 2 days were a lot easier than I thought.  While I was not tempted too much, I think that the easy way around that is to just stay away from the things that you like.  I had to go grocery shopping and what do you see in the grocery store???  Every and anything that you don't need!  LOL!  Thank goodness I had my list and stuck to it.

Meals were great as usual - 2 cups of teas, 2 pieces of fruit, 3 shakes and a salad with white meat.  The last couple of nights I did chicken but decided to do fish tonight - perch.  It was so good.  Even my husband complimented on how good it tasted.

Energy levels were awesome.  I didn't feel tired in the least bit at any time.  One of the things that amazes me is how, with the few calories that one takes in during the cleanse, your energy levels during the workouts are still great!  I did TF HIIT 15 and Sculpt 30 and didn't miss a beat!  LOVE, LOVE IT!

Well....tomorrow is results day.  See you then!

Day 2 of Shakeology Cleanse

Well, I know it's actually not Day 2 but I'm posting for yesterday.  I will then post my Day 3 tonight.

So.....yesterday was Day 2.  Everything went well.  I ate everything that I was supposed to - 3 shakes, 2 pieces of fruit, 2 cups of tea, a chicken salad and almost 4 liters of H2O.  I did get tempted though.  My sister and I went to the mall to spend some sibling time together.  We went into one of the stores that had candy, snacks, etc.  As we were walking around the store, I had to keep looking in the other direction. Twizzlers...Twix....Potato Chips....Cereal.  "Oh, Nikki....come and buy us!"  LOL!  All of this was thrown right in my face.  How was I going to react?  Keep walking!  I am so proud of myself for not indulging.  I'm focused to do what I need to do. 

People always ask - How did you feel?  Were you full?  Well I can tell you that I didn't have any headaches or stomach cramps from being hungry.  I love the shakes because you can make them thick and they are so filling. Normally, an hour after I eat, I'm ready to grab a snack. Not with Shakeology baby!  I also had plenty of energy throughout the day.  No plateaus or feeling like I needed a nap.

Day 3 and results, HERE I COME!

First Day of 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

My girlfriends from back home came into town this past weekend for the CIAA tournament in Charlotte.  We had such a blast!  While they were here, I endulged in things that I shouldn't have....ooops!  But that only makes me human, right?  Then I spent the day in the hospital on Monday to have a procedure completed.  Normally, you can pick your own meals in the hospital but because I was out, they decided to choose for me.  Needless to say because I was so hungry when I came out, I just ate what they gave me.  With that being said, I gained some weight.  UGH!  I knew the consequences.  So I decide to take on the Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse to get me back to where I was pre-weekend events.

Today was my first day.  I started the day with a cup of tea.  For breakfast, it was a Shakeology Shake with mixed berries.  I had an orange for my morning snack.  Lunch was another Shake with a cup of tea.  My afternoon snack was a Shake with an apple.  Dinner was rounded out with a chicken salad...yummy!  At the time of this blog, I've drank almost 128oz of H2O

Well I made it thru the first day. I wasn't sure if I would or not.  Day 1 down, 2 more to go.
