End of week 3

I have officially made it through 3 weeks of my new plan.

EXCITING NEWS!

I am down 3lbs to put me at 144 lbs, 22.2% BF!!

It has been challenging, especially on weekends when I am out and about ( a girl needs to carry a cute purse every now and then, and forgo the massive cooler!)

Some exciting events over the past 2 weeks: Train the trainer. To raise money for the GoodLife Kids Foundation, I donated myself for a silent auction we had at the club. My client Maureen won me, and decided instead of taking a session for herself, she wanted to train me. ( see above pic, you can get an idea of what they put me through.. think lots of burpees)

I still am awaiting the boxing pics, which hopefully we can resume the first week after the long weekend.

I spent the first part of today cooking and prepping food for the week. I absolutely LOVE bison right now. You can get it in burger, steak or roast form. I have really been trying to try different things with my food.

What kind of things are you enjoying for you summer meals?

Week 1 of 20 Week Plan

I have made it through the first week! Im not going to lie, the past couple of days have been really hard!

We have reduced our calories from what we need to maintain our current weight by 20%. It definately was a noticable change!

I dont know about you, but my hardest time is the evenings when I get home from work (10pm-ish). Over the past few months although eating clean throughout the day, if the opportunity for something delicious to eat came up, I wouldnt really think twice about it. Now I am thinking about it, once, twice and three times over. (Basically laying in bed thinking about why I do not need chocolate covered almonds or whatever it may be).

You definately need to be very focused and strong willed if you want to achieve the best.

Kelly and I also joined a women's boxing gym to switch up our workouts on sundays. Incredibly fun. We have which I will post as soon as I get them. Its great to get outside of what we are used to and try something different. Although the gloves they have are stinky (investing in a pair might be in the works), it was an amazing atmosphere.

Here is the link to the gym if you want to check it out! http://www.torontonewsgirls.com/tng_main/classes.php

I just finished cooking chicken, a bison roast and bison burgers and tilapia. Now time to plan out my meal plan for the week.

4 Month Countdown to SHOWTIME!

Alright. I know I was counting down to my vacation, but something BIGGER and better has come along. (dont get me wrong, looking hot for my vacay is still a #1 priority, it just happens to work in with this more long term plan as well)

In 4 months I will be stepping on stage again.

My trainer and I have created a master plan. We have created "bibles" to live by (track workouts, food planning etc) and of course MOTIVATE eachother. She is also going to be training, perhaps to step on stage, perhaps not, but either way we have got eachothers back through it all.

Weight: 148.8
