WORKOUT WEDNESDAY

Got my T25 Speed 1.0 in this morning.  Being that it is Day 3 of the 3 Day Refresh, I was lacking some energy.  I don't have the strongest knees and when I am tired during a workout it is very apparent in my squat form.  I am always afraid of hurting my knees more, so I have to remember to keep good form to prevent injury.  A huge suggestion my old trainer gave me was to keep my toes off the ground when I squat.  By having your toes in the air, it forces you to put your weight back into your heels and your knees behind your knees.  Keep your form!!!

So today is day 2 of the 3 Day Refresh. I am feeling pretty good and I feel the inches falling away.  It is nice to get a fresh clean gut after this holiday weekend!  Here is a look at what I eat during the 3 Day Refresh:

Breakfast:  Chocolate, Shakeology, strawberries, water
Snack:  Fiber Sweep
Lunch:  Vanilla Fresh shake, Strawberries, Broccoli with coconut oil
Snack:  Carrots with hummus
Dinner:  Vanilla Fresh Shake, roasted asparagus with almonds

I got this!

MEASUREMENT MONDAY

So last week's results are in.  After a holiday week and lots of temptations, I managed to lose weight and stay under my red line.  The red line represents the 90 pounds I want to lose by July.  The red line has really been keeping me focused and on track.  It's my new favorite thing! 

TASTY TUESDAY

Have you tried zoodles? I am asking for this for xmas so I can make veggie noodles!!

Today has been pretty good.  I completed T25 Total Body Circuit and the Total Body Cardio Fix.  The workouts (which used to be my downfall) are actually much easier for my lately than the nutrition is.  I am completely aware that abs are made in the kitchen, but I have been having trouble sticking to the Fix meal plan lately.  I have been craving bad foods and havent had the will power to say no.  I am currently weening off my anxiety medication and I think it is effecting my cravings.  I plan on really starting to focus on my food.  Since I work with kids with autism, there are always edible reinforcers around and it is so easy to pop some in  my mouth while teaching.  I need to stooooopppppp! 

Here are my new techniques I am going to try:

1.  Chew gum in between meals to stop myself from snacking
2.  Remind my coworkers, boyfriend and friends not to offer me food
3.  Remind myself numerous times a day why I want this!

Here Goes Nothing

So today starts the Biggest Loser competition at my work.  I emailed the whole teaching staff to see who wanted to join in.  I have 14 people participating and we weighed in this morning.  It was pretty traumatizing.  I was doing so well for so long and I ruined it over the past few months.  I am so ready to get back on the healthy train. 

Its weird.  I feel so great when I am healthy.  I am happier, more energized, calmer and I sleep better.  Why don't I always put my health first?  Its so weird.  Self-sabotage has always been my thing when it comes to my health.  I am committing now to change these habits and focus on my health and my business as a Beachbody coach.  Health must be my sole focus from here on out. 

We have our annual coach summit in July and all the top trainers will be there and I will be around hundreds of coaches doing group workouts.  I want to be 90 pounds lighter by then.  I know that is an insane goal but I have to do it.  I can not be in Nashville at Summit at almost 300 pounds. 

Here is my breakdown:

October                         -10
November                     -10
December                     -10
January                         -10
