We are almost completing WEEK 2 of this Challenge Group! And I am admitting that I am no longer doing the 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan - more specifically the countdown to competition. I am doing a mix of the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts which has been nice since I prefer some in the regular version than the extreme ones.
Last night was Pilates which is honestly one of my favorite workouts! I did the regular version and loved it! It's a great recovery workout. Below you will see a video of a couple of the moves! They sure work your core muscles that's for sure! Go give them a try, 1 minute each!
As for my food choices, they have been relatively good! I have a HUGE supply of Shakeology so lately I have been having it twice a day, even if it's just for a snack! I have had a couple of cheats, mostly on those darn weekends! They get me every time seriously! Anyone else? I know there are others out there!
One thing I know is I need to get better with eating on the weekends! I try to plan out my weekends the most since I know I don't eat well and I know during the week I am really good!
I know eating crappy one the weekend isn't an excuse especially when you are capable of making good positive changes.
This might sound bad of me to say but since I have lost 40+ lbs and I work out 7 days a week I don't care if I have a cheat. Again, I know that doesn't sound very good but I know that when I go to do my workout that night that I will burn off that treat I ate. I know that it's not going to make me gain 5 lbs. I know that I am human and that no one is perfect and you should never compare yourself to others.
As much as I love doing this program I can honestly say I can't wait to re-start the ChaLEAN Extreme / Turbo Fire Hybrid again! I was almost 3 weeks into it and I was seeing incredible results! Seriously! It's amazing what weights can do for a person! Below you will see a photo I took 20 days apart!! The first photo was short before I started the hybrid and then the second picture is while I was doing the programs! I could't imagine the changes I saw!
But whatever method of exercise you choose to do, make sure you enjoy it! That is the most important thing about exercising! If you aren't liking it and you have to really talk yourself into doing it then why are you doing it? Find something you will enjoy, whether it be running, cardio, lifting weights, going to the gym, working out at home whatever it might be! Go and find your happiness!
Until next time!
