30 Day Challange coming to an end
My 30 Day Personal Challenge is coming to an end and I am so excited with the results. Even though I was not able to follow the workouts as planned, in fact not even close I still saw tremendous results. I am really kicking myself for not taking before pictures because I really want people to see! I drank my Shakeology every day, tried to get my Insanity workout in about 5 days a week, Ageless Actives daily and drank my IsaLean and Want More Energy about every other day. I did lose any weight, which was not the intention anyways. However, the abs I had before giving birth have FINALLY returned!! I thought for a while they might not and I was ok with that. So when I noticed the difference I was pretty excited!! For about a year now I have been sharing the benefits I have experienced from drinking Shakeology. My skin has cleared up; my Psoriasis is not gone but has been reduced tremendously. My skin is not as dry as it used to be. Most excitedly, my hair is growing back in!! I had lost a lot of it during college then even more after having McKalyn. My hair is actually thicker than it was when I was pregnant. I noticed today that I have another row of new growth coming in. So when I was approached to try Isagenix I wasn’t sure it would really make a difference. There is no argument about what these products have done for my physique. Even without making a commitment to the nutrition plan I used to follow or the training that I usually endure to compete, I have seen improvement! I can’t wait to see what happens when I actually start training consistently and eating the way I am supposed to!

Day 2 of 30
Sunday was day two of my 30 Day Experiment. Sunday is normally my day off and yesteday was no exception. Morning was family time then church. We followed with Sunday Brunch. I practiced portion control and made wise choices; salad, roast beef, steamed veggies and a small piece of cheese cake. Oh and a Virgin Bloody Mary. For my mid-afternoon snack I had Greenberry Shakeology and Isagenix Want More Energy. Uh! Love that stuff! My evening Insanity workout was Max Cardio Conditioning which just may be my favorite workout. Again, Shawn T kicked my ass but I loved every minute of it! No yoga today but I did take time to stretch my poor little body. Then I replensihed with a baked potato and some lean ground beef and a salad. I know it has only been two days but I can already feel a difference.

Day 1 of 30
Yesterday was the first day of my Experiment. Weekends are not always the most structured for me, but that
ok. I started my day at 4am and worked until noon. Of course I forgot to pack food so I was way off for the day. When I got home I had a healthy lunch of a salad with fish. Pre-workout I had my Want More Energy. Then I proceeded to kill myself. I did my at home weight workout of chest, back and legs followed by Insanity Max Interval Plyos. OMG!!!! Well, all I can say is thank goodness McKalyn was fussy and needed a bath before bed because it allowed me to take a 15 minute break at about the 50 minute mark.

My 30 Day Experiment
What is my 30 Day Expermiment? Well I am trying to see exactly what I can do with my body in 30 days. You see in a month from this weekend I will be in California and I will be working out with Tony Horton, Shawn T, Chalene Johnson and oh, a couple hundered Beach Body Coaches. The problem you see is, I have not commited to my own fitness for about....7 months. Once my competition on Las Vegas was over in Novemeber I jumped into mommy and business mode 100% leaving very little time for fitness mode. Now I am not saying I am out of shape, I eat healthy so I am able to maintain a certain level of my fitness. Do I think it is enough to "Bring It!"? Not exactly. I have put together a little experiment to see just what I can accomlish in 30 days.
Here is the plan:
I do not have access to a gym so all of my training will be done at home with Dumbbells that go up to 15 pounds. My workouts will consist of:
A weight workout 4 days a week dividing all of the body parts lasting about 30 minutes, provided by my
coach in the morning
Month 2 of Insanity (I have never gone past month 1) done in the evenings I don't have to teach Hip
Hop Hustle in the evening
Yoga mid day 4 days a week
Supplements and and sample nutritional plan:
Upon waking usually 5 am 1 c coffee, 1 T creamer, Isagenix Ageless Actives
5:30 Meal 1: 1/2 c oatmeal, 3 egg whites, 1 T peanut butter, 1/4 c mixed berries, 1/2c snap peas

Try something new this week
This week I want you to try something new every day. I am a firm believer that the TV is the biggest contributor to the obesity epidemic in the United States. I remember when I was a child, we weren’t even allowed in the house if the sun was out. We played from sun up to sun down. If we were hungry we could have any piece of fruit we wanted. We didn’t even have to ask. TV time was family time. It was a rare privilege. My mom would pop some air popped popcorn and we would sit down together to watch as a family. This week I want you to take it back to when you were a child and see you feel a little younger and carefree.
Monday- Most of us have the day off so let’s take advantage of it. Get outside and play. If you live in a warmer environment then go outside. Got to the park. Take the kids and ride bikes. Better yet. Play freeze tag. If you are in the North then use that snow for something. Make a snowman, go sledding have some fun.
Tuesday- Curb your fruit cravings by eating a piece of raw fruit every time you want something sweet. Apples, kiwi, oranges and berries are your best choices.
Wednesday- Turn off the TV and don’t turn it back on for 24 hours. Play a board game. Remember Monopoly? How about the Game of Life? Heck play charades.
Thursday- Go to www.cleaneatingmag.com and choose a recipe to try for dinner.
Friday- Instead of ordering pizza for pizza night, make your own. Load up on veggies and lean meats such as turkey sausage or even tofu.
Saturday- Get out of the house and go to a movie. Only instead of buying that nasty popcorn covered in lard pop your own and take it with you. I personally love steamed edamame.
Sunday- Plan your meals for the week. Get your grocery shopping done and prep your food. Being prepared and having a plan helps keep you on track to your goals.
