April Fitness Challenge

After working out at home inthe basememnt to get through the winter I started to loose my motivation and the love I had developed for working out.  So I decided to do a two day bootcamp in March to help renew my exercise mojo and it worked! I LOVE this all female bootcamp! Deanna Jefferson and her staff (Nicole Gee and Lisa Pilgrim) make working out an adventure! The sessions are on Tuesday and Thursday 7:00 PM - 8:15 PM for just $100 for the month! I am so hooked on this bootcamp. After 8 sessions in March my body fat percentage went down and I feel great about my progress and I am really impressed with the definition I am starting to see in my arms! As if this wasn't enough, there is a 3 hour co-ed "Warrior Workout" workout being held on Sunday, May 1 and my husband and I are looking forward to completing that together!  Click here for more details and to register.

Now, my personal fitness challenge for April not only involves the Fab Body Time bootcamp, but also involves completing 30 minutes of cardio EVERY DAY until the end of April and completing the PUSH Phase of ChaLEAN Extreme!  I want to see HUGE results by the end of the month so I am committing myself to working out six days a week to get the results I want.

It's not too late for you to get started either!  It's warming up outside so the sooner you start the better off you will be when it comes time to shed the long sleeve shirts and sweaters.  Loose that muffin top, tighten up those arms and abs.  Put the work in now so that you can be proud to take pictures in your bathing suit at the beach!  I WILL BE BIKINI  READY, will you?

10 minutes to a healthier you!

Do you want to get in shape but you're short on time? The 10 minute trainer program is just what you need! If you follow the workout program and the eating program you can have results as good as Angie's.  Click here to order your's today!

Day 2 - Shakeology Fast

Day 2 of the 3 day Shakeology cleanse/fast is coming to a close. Today was much better than yesterday! I've lost about 2 lbs so far so I'm pleased. I did make sure I had my snacks in between the meals and that helped a great deal. It was hard fixing dinner for my family knowing only a salad with some salmon would be my dinner; but I made it through. I haven't figured out a way to work around that, but tomorrow they will have left overs so that will help.

I've outlined what I ate and the times below to hopefully help give others ideas how to do the fast.

8:30 AM Dieter's Green Tea
9:00 AM Chocolate Shakeology with mixed berries
(1 serving chocolate Shakeology, 10 oz water, 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries)

11:15 AM Banana and water

1:30 PM Chocolate Shakeology
(1 serving chocolate Shakeology and 10 oz water)

4:00 PM 1 Cup grapes and water

8:00 Salad with 4 oz salmon & a cup of green tea
(3 cups of romaine & spring mix lettuce, 2 tbsp olive oil & vinegar dressing)

10:00 Chocolate Shakeology
(1 serving chocolate Shakeology and 10 oz water)

Tune in tomorrow to see how day 3 goes! I will also be posting a video summary on YouTube.

Shakeology Cleanse

The Shakeology Cleanse/Fast is meant to jump start you in your fitness journey (prior to starting an exercise program), break a plateau (if currently in a workout program) or shed pounds fast & effectively in a healthy way. If you are currently doing a workout program, try this on a recovery week, instead of on a week of regular workouts. If you try the cleanse or have already tried it, please remember to come back here and post a comment about your success!! As another side note. Shakeology is not just meant to be used in the Fast, but also as a healthy meal replacement shake to be taken once daily after the Fast. It is important to know that the maximum amount of days to do the cleanse is up to 3 days, meaning you can just do 1 or 2 days of it but no more than 3.

Below are the details of the Fast/Cleanse:
