Two servings of tilipia for lunch.

I met my weight loss goal and inches lost in the waist.  I didn't make it in the other areas but this has given me a jump start to getting back on track.  Now its time to go start my morning cardio.

I'm very happy with the weight loss as my goal was 5lbs and I've lost 6.1lbs.  I've lost .75inches from my waist but nothing from my hips or thighs.  Hopefully tomorrow's measurements will bring something different.

Back to the Drawing Board - Shakeology Cleanse Day 1

Well, I hate to admit it but I've jumped off the map for about the last 2-3 weeks, eating whatever I want and workouts were sporadic.  And believe me, the numbers don't lie!  I stepped on the scale weighing in at a whopping 163.7lb this morning!  My measurements were as follows: chest - 37 inches; waist - 32 inches; hips - 40 inches; right thigh - 23 inches.  So, to give you an idea of what's happened - I've gained 9lbs and 2 inches in my waist and hips.....OUCH!  Normally, you're supposed to go the other way.  I knew the would happen and I can't be mad at anybody but myself.  So, to jump start my routine, I'm starting my shakeology 3 day cleanse today.  It's time to get the wheels back in motion.  I will continue to update you guys on my progress each day.

I Fell Off the Wagon......

Boy, am I glad that it's Monday.  This was a hard weekend for me....I completely fell off the wagon.  UGH!  I ate fast food, candy and didn't workout!!!  AHHHH!  It started Friday started night.  I was craving something and went through the McDonalds drive thru!  I haven't had fast food in I don't know how long.  Not a good look.  Of course I felt awful afterwards.  Saturday morning, I was supposed to do my AM workout.  Well, I rushed off and did something else.  Needless to say, I was gone the whole day after that, so no Saturday workout.  And guess what I did again?  FAST FOOD!  YUCK!  I got up yesterday and went to church and had a pretty decent lunch but then snacked the rest of the day - no real meals after that.  I'm sitting here SMH as I think about it.  I'm sharing with you though, to let you know I'm human too!  I make mistakes.  But guess what, I'm dusting myself off and getting back on the wagon. Thank goodness for new days and beginnings.  I just completed 20 mins of interval training.  Then I will do ARX and Chest/Shoulder/Tris this evening.

Happy Monday!

Interval Training

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood!  This morning I decided to switch my workouts and do my interval training in the AM and will do Max Recovery this evening.  I completed 30 mins of interval training that included a variety of different exercises.  I love interval training because it takes that boredom out of a workout and keeps you going throughout the entire time.  Below is my after pic from the interval training. I still have Max Recovery to do which I'm really looking forward to...LOVE Insanity!

Back on the grind.....

So, today was my first day back to my hybrid after my vacation.  As I mentioned before, I did complete some workouts while on vacation but it was great to be back with Shaun T.  And because I was out, I'm repeating week 5.  Today's schedule included Max Interval Circuit and Cardio Abs.  Let's just saw I was drenched.  See my photo below!
