Hey guys!! So here I am, starting a new Beachbody program and I am psyched. A new and incredibly intense workout by Shaun T has been motivating people to push themselves to their cardio limit and boy has it been pushing me to my MAX!
This new and exciting workout has seriously been such a thrill already this first week. Day 1 I maxed out at minute 3...MINUTE 3?! Whaaaaat? Let me tell you, I've never felt so weak in my life. Okay well maybe right after my pregnancy, but still. This time was I was super defeated. I was doing Focus T25 by then so in my mind I was ready, I was prepared and I was going to hit it hard. Nope. Haha. But you know what? I'm rolling into week 2 and I can say that I have improved my time significantly.
Week 2 Cardio Challenge, I maxed out at minute 19. MINUTE 19! Woo hoo. Did I tell you guys I'm doing it all modified? Yup. I sure am. These plyo exercises and high impact drills are a challenge for me because of my injured knee, so this time around I'm sticking to the modified moves. Even then I have to take precautions because I can still feel my knee taking a beating and by the end of 30 minutes it's in dire need of some ice. But that's okay, I can roll with the punches.
I needed a new workout and diet plan to get me out of this plateau that I've been in for the past couple of months. My weight hasn't been dropping. I've stayed at 166 pounds since November and it's seriously driving me nuts. My goal is to get all this baby weight off once and for all come April 1st. This means sticking to my diet plan and sticking to my workouts. NO MORE EXCUSES! I know I can do it and I will do it. I have my 'before' pictures and all of my measurements. I seriously am so excited to share it with you all once I have successfully completed this program. I want to show you guys that even by doing modified movements, you can still get an amazing transformation when you stick with it and you eat clean. So stay tuned!
Alright so it's literally mid January already. Holy cow. This month has flown by! Let me ask you this, are you still as amped up as you were on January 1, 2015 with your New Year resolutions? It's around this time that people are still trying to push through and stay committed but the adrenaline is slowly starting to die off. Are you in this position? Are you starting to lose traction of your own accountability and falling back into your old habits? If you answered yes, then come join my support fitness challenge group that I will be running starting the 26th of January called, "Fit For Spring." You'll get amazing support from me to help motivate you and keep you accountable. I promise you I will cheer you on every step of the way, give you the best tips, advice, teach you how to meal plan and prep, set you up for success so that even when the group is over you'll still be implementing the skills I taught you to live a healthier lifestyle. You'll have your best transformation yet!! And have the fundamental tools to inspire others to do the same.

So for this week (Week 2) I'm starting to implement 3-4 days of weight lifting. Yup. I have to get back at it since I'm planning to be a Figure Competitor come 2017. I'm excited! Yesterday I realized just how much I had lost with my strength training. It's insane how much muscle mass you will lose when you don't stay consistent. It's just like anything else. When you're not in a routine and you lose focus, you lose all touch of what you had initially gained, you lose it just like that. But what's done is done and I'm back to square one. You know it's okay. It gave me the drive and the motivation to set higher standards and to reach my goal to be a competitor. Never would I have thought to even think of being a Figure competitor, but the more and more I see how passionate I am about health and fitness, it's a goal I intend to accomplish and be successful in.
