1/3 of the way there =0)

Where has the time gone.  The last 4 days have been a blur.  Between spending time with the baby and my husband, and going to Advocare trainings and helping Nate promote events it has been a crazy 4 days.  Sorry for not checking in....

So today was day 20 of insanity!  1/3 of the way there.  I am amazed how it is changing my body like I never imagined and how good it is making me feel.  While doing the workouts of course I'm not saying that.  I'm usually cursing the tv in my mind and saying I hate every moment of it.  Thanks to my Spark and Rehydrate I have the energy to get through the workout.


Spring Chick Callengers here is a quick update

1. I have done FANTASTIC on my goal of  working out and not missing an insanity.  We did skip cardio recovery Saturday but it was a much needed break.

2. I haven't reached my NSV of going down 2 pant sizes but my cloths are definitely fitting better=0)

3. I have been drinking my water

4. I have been MUCH better at taking my supplements on time.  I can't wait to get my MNS C in the mail so I can start back up on my strip pack.  It is amazing how much of a difference putting in supplements to fill your nutritional gaps can make you feel.  I didn't really notice it until I wasn't taking them regularly.  Yay for being healthy.

5.  I've been visiting most of your blogs I just haven't commented on them in a while... I promise I will get better at it this week.

6.  I started a Bible reading plan to read my Bible in a year and I have done great at staying on top of that.

Overall I am kind of on a mountain right now and trying to stay there.  I know there will be valleys and I will get through them.  Keep up the good work everyone and stay motivated.

Another smile on my face.

So.  Thursday after recovering from being VERY sick Tuesday and Wednesday I got on the scale and was disappointed in the results.  You see... the 24 day challenge was amazing and I am still losing inches but for some reason I have been stuck at this certain number and unable to drop to the next set of 10's see 1#0.2 is the lowest that I've been able to go  (Yes I'm still too embarrassed to share my real weight.... )  So Thursday I made a resolution that I was going to get back on track, I was going to eat healthy things and continue on my MNS packs, spark and Catalyst and this morning as I woke up and stepped on the scale and saw 1#9.6!! I'm down into the next set of 10 which makes me 39.6lbs away from my goal.  You see.... it's hard to make wise and healthy decisions when a giant piece of chocolate cake is in your hands but.... When you make a wise choice and take care of your body you realize it's all worth it when you easily slip into your "dream size" pair of jeans, or when you step on the scale and realize even just a tiny bit of progress has been made.  The desire is there, all you need is the motivation and the will power to continue on your journey to looking good and feeling GREAT!

Thanks for following, and if you are on your own journey let me know your progress and check in periodically I hope I can help motivate you towards your goal and you can do the same =0)

It's been a while....

I know it's been a while since I last wrote in here.  Life kind of got a little crazy.  Anyway here's the quick update....

The 24 day challenge has been over for about a week now and I lost a total of 10 lbs.  That is somewhat exciting but... what is really exciting to me is the inches I lost... I don't know exactly how much it was yet (we are measuring tonight) but you know that feeling when you put on a pair of pants that have been so tight for so long you tucked them in the back of your closet and.... they are lose on you?  Yup that's the feeling I had this week.  I put some cloths on that I haven't worn since before Ava was born and they were lose!  I'm still not in my smallest cloths that I wore when we got married, but I'm more motivated to keep going since I have seen results.

Another exciting moment this week was that people started asking about me losing weight and telling me that they can tell and that I look like I feel better.  It's so nice for people to notice the results of my hard work.

So... as of right now I'm 40 lbs down from when I came home from the hospital from having Ava and I have 40 lbs to go.

The gameplan?  I am still on the catalyst from Advocare and believe that it is really helping me lose the inches.  I'm also totally addicted to the Spark!   I love the feeling of having energy without jitters and without a crash a few hours later, it is just a subtle energy that makes me feel good.  And this week I reordered the vitamin packets.  Even though it is a lot of pills to take I feel so good on them and feel like I have so much energy that it's worth it.

It is a challenge to maintain eating well, however the results are great motivation.  I am sooo excited to continue my journey and to just feel better and better!

Thanks so much for following.  Tomorrow I'll post my total inches lost during the challenge =0)
