I have found my FIRE again!

Ok I started this blog last September and was able to get closer to my goals and then the holidays hit me hard.  I am going to refer to them as my "eating season".  I also switched some supplements that caused me to retain some major water weight.  I am refocused more than ever now.  I resubscribed my bodybugg and now I know once again how many calories I burn.  I am committed to not one, not two but three programs and neither one of them are easy mamsy pamsy programs.  Not only am I a coach with Beachbody but I am a Beachbody Club member.  I am now on a meal plan that consist of REAL food and none of this rice cake junk.  I had a omelet this morning with turkey sausage and lots of veggies and tomorrow its french toast and sausage.  Its really good and its actually cheaper than Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers and its a better program, PERIOD!

I am done with my 90 days on Shakeology and proud to report that I am now in the normal range for cholesterol and off meds for the first time in 10+ years.  My blood pressure is in the lower normal range and my doc thinks I may be coming off them soon.  This stuff is amazing and I have never felt better.  I am a user for life!

My programs......  In the morning after I take the kids to school I come home and get it going with TurboFire and RevAbs.  Ok I am slow and uncoordinated but I have had the best time in the last few days with TurboFire and Chalene Johnson.  It is really fun!!!  RevAbs I am trying to get used to and it should be ok.  RevAb Trainer Brett Hoebel was/is one of the "secret" trainers in the Biggest Loser.  Then I go to work.  I get home from work and its time to BRING IT!!!  P90X!!!!  Everyone has heard P90X and it does not disappoint!!!  I was only moderately active yesterday and still burnt 4235 calories vs. last week in training sitting at a table all day and only burnt 2098 a day.  I love my bodybugg.  It makes hitting goals soooo much easier.  My goal is 30,000 calories burned a week and not even going to step foot in the gym for 90 days.  I am gonna prove to the skeptics that it can be done at home : )

Cheerful is on board and we are doing this or part of it together.  I have since introduced her to the coaching side and hopefully it will allow her more freedom to stay home with the kids and focus on the family while holding us accountable and trying to inspire others.  We are going to have a Beachbody party here at our house in February to display the different programs and supplements and the coaching side as well.  NO PRESSURE to buy or join anything I promise.  Bring your gym clothes and workout to something that you might like or try Shakeology, protein bars or recovery drinks. 

I will blog once a week to publish my results, strengths and failures.  It helps me in my accountability phase and get to my goals.
