Slim in 6 Journey: Part 2

So I discovered that I was doing my Slim in 6 wrong. That being said, I did lose two pounds doing it wrong. Imagine what will happen when I do it right???!!!

Slim in 6 journey!!!

So today, I start my Slim in 6 journey. Well to be honest, it’s a restart because I was doing it wrong. I have decided to get a jumpstart on my New Year’s Resolution and start now. When I make a choice, I really don’t want to wait on it. So here goes!!!

I have purchased BeachBody’s Slim in 6 challenge pack which contains the Slim in 6 workout and the shakeology. 

I will be posting updates on my journey here so you can all follow along. The first week consists of a very specific change in my diet with exercise. I am excited to be doing this as there will be weightloss and inches loss seen within the first week. Now, if you are anything like me, I hate to exercise but I hate to not fit my clothes more. But because I hate exercising, I KNOW that I need constant motivation especially in the beginning. And what better way to have motivation than pounds lost right away!

And so I start today! I have already had my shake this morning and I will eat again in two hours. (6 small meals a day, two hours apart!)

And to be honest, I owe it to this woman. She was such an inspiration to me! I thought, if she can do it, than so can I!! This is Eileen who is age 93. By using Slim in 6, Eileen lost 110 pounds!!! To me? THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!! No excuses now, eh?

Day 3 of Slim in Six done!

So today was a bit of a different day. I have been consistent in my first two days, following the exercise and following the nutrition. Today I woke up and was feeling rather blah about the whole affair. In times past, this blah feeling would have caused a self pity throw in the towel day. Not today!

Today, I readily and quickly identified that the "blah" feeling was due to some personal stress and not really diet/exercise related. So I jumped in and continued on with the program. I did notice a few things. With other programs I have used, the day would be so intense, and knowing that ahead of time, I would not even be able to muster the commitment part of the motivation to get me rear in gear. However, knowing this program was not like that, I was able to muster the "I committed" part of the motivation and go ahead. And to be honest, I did feel somewhat better for having pushed through for two reasons: 1) I succeeded in pushing through (a victory for me) and 2) the exercise reduced some of the stress.

Another thing I have noticed is that I no longer feel the need for coffee in the morning. Prior to starting this, I was noticing that coffee was becoming ineffectual and my system was becoming somewhat immune to it. However, since starting Shakeology, I am finding that I don't event think about needing coffee in the morning to kick start me.

Now, so far I have not seen a drop in weight, however, I think there are a few reasons.  One, the six day diet included is based on a lot of clean eating. Fruits, vegies, protein and no carbs as an initial weight loss. However, I was raised as a clean eater. We didn't eat a lot of junk growing up and as a result, I have very little junk in my house. I don't even regularly stock cookies. So the switch to clean eating really didn't alter my diet a lot. As a result it will be the exercise that drops the weight and as well all know, when you begin to exercise you don't drop weight immediately because muscle weighs more than fat. So as you are developing muscles, your weight may stay the same or increase. The trick is to continue to push through this initial phase.

That being said, although I haven't took my measurements, I am suspecting that I am carving away some inches, as I am starting to look a little firmer and toned. So, I will continue to update here my journey so that you can follow it and see my results.

Here's to another day tomorrow!

My Slim in 6 journey!!

So after any attempts at various workout programs, at which I have ultimately failed, I think I have found one that will suit.

What I have found is that I was needing a more gradual program and not just jump into some insanely intense workout. I tried that route and found that I hated working out, dreaded it, and ultimately just quit.

However, I found one that starts out gradually, and then increases over a period of 6 weeks. I have also found that it provides easy meals to prepare and eat that don't make me feel like I am being deprived.

And so it all began today. Day 1! I did my weigh in and ate according to the meal guide and have done workout one of two. If followed regularly, one can lose anywhere from 20-30 lbs in the six weeks, which would put me at or just about at my goal weight and goal size with inches also dropping off. If you are in doubt, watch here as I will be updating regularly.

I currently weigh 157 lbs and I did take my before picture but am going to be saving that til the end. I will also be taking a pic at days 15, 30 and 45 so you can get a pictoral sense of exactly how this program works.

To give you a sense of my meals. I will be eating 6 smaller meals which allows for continued energy from food and also keeps your metabolism working and active and thereby burning calories.

So today: breakfast was shakeology with 1/2 banana, mid morning snack was an apple, lunch was grilled turkey with a salad, afternoon snack was cottage cheese and 1/2 banana. Dinner will be another helping of grilled turkey (although chicken and fish work in here as well), with another salad with different ingredients, then a nice cup of herbal teal to top off my day!

I look forward to having you along for the ride!

Officially 6 weeks!!!

Officially we are 6 weeks until Christmas!! Would you like to beat the New Years Resolution doldrums and ring in the New Year already fit and trim??!!

I know I am going to! Why don't you join me?

Priorities

As we end the year 2012, we are still all alive and kicking despite the end of the world forecasts. And so as we finish off the old and prepare to usher in the new, we are often given to reflect on the year behind us to assess our success, accomplishments and struggles!

For me, one of those areas is my family budget. Assessing what worked and what didn't work. And trimming what needs to be trimmed.

Did you know that the average family budget for food for a family of four in BC in $686.50. And an average additional 33% or 286.00 is spent eating out a month. That includes lunches, dinners, fast food and coffees.

Did you know that childhood obesity rates in BC are at 31.5%? And Canadian Adult Obesity rates range from 19% in BC to 38% in Labrador and Newfoundland.

Now what if you could take that 286.00 for one month and re-invest it in something that within three months of daily active use, will provide a healthy lifestyle for you and your family. I include family in this because we all know that children model after their parents.

Well now you can, all for the cost of one month's dining out budget!

Put your mask on first!

Yes I know early LOL but I have a reason for starting to think ahead. I want to reach my goals this year. I remember in grade 7 being taught to write New Year's Resolutions and I think we even had to set dates. But no one actually taught me how to break that down into measurable steps and so that was the last time, that I every made a New Year's Resolution. So what makes this year different? I have new skill sets, I have objectives that I have broken down into measurable steps that I can take each and every day.

Now, if you are like me, weight and health are top priority. For me, this year that is especially important. And so I have chosen to take measurable steps to ensure that I am in top shape and health. I want to see my children have children and to do that I know that I need to put my mask on first. I need to ensure that I take care of me, so that I can take care of those that are important to me. And in fact, I am not going to wait until New Year's I am going to jump in right now!

If this sounds like you, then why not join me?

Sweet Sweets!

Ever had a craving for something sweet, but don't want the added inches?

Can't seem to fight off those cravings?

Have you ever just threw in the towel and let yourself eat all the sugar in sight?

Are you so depleted in energy that the only pick me up in sight that you want is sugar?

I felt like that tool And I felt so deprived. I desperately wanted to eat chocolate but I knew I didn't want the added inches. And then, I felt like losing weight was a punishment,

That was, until I found shakeology!!! Not only, does it satisfy my craving for sweets, the energy I feel is amazing and the best thing of all? It is completely healthy for me! All for the cost of breakfast a day!!!!

Weight Loss

Wow, am I ever excited!!! I have NEVER been a big breakfast eater. For some reason, I just cannot stomach the idea of food first thing in the morning. Well, I must admit, I have found something better than coffee and better than breakfast and it gives me all the nutrients that my body needs!! And best of all? My kids love it!!! I mean seriously who wouldn't love a chocolate shake for breakfast.

So, as we approach the holiday season, why not commit to losing weight instead of gaining it?

Beach Body!!!

Have you ever wanted to be healthy and fit?

Have you ever wanted to feel confident in a bathing suit?

Do you find that you are lacking in energy?

I am a Beach Body Coach that can help you with all of those things!!!


Feel free to ask me how! I would love to help you get a head start on those New Year's Resolutions! Why wait til the New Year??? Why not start now???!!!
