My Birthday

I have no problem withholding on Thanksgiving or Christmas when it comes food and eating healthy. My birthday however, is more of a challenge. I saved up my cheat day to enjoy my birthday favorites. Dinner at Texas Roadhouse (those rolls.. Oh those rolls!) and my "cake" a turtle pie from baskin Robbins. For those who have never had one, I would normally recommend you trying one. However, if you have not had one, it's best to not even try it. Lol you will over endulge... And you will be sick! Much like I was.. Well, am. Every single year! Lol



Which is why the juice reboot was quick to follow, I knew I would do awful on my birthday. That is what's important though,  I had a recovery plan. Many people will ruin their entire week in one day and not have a plan to recover from it. My plan was a juice reboot and up and the workouts. 

The point of this post is to show everyone, I too have my weaknesses. I will slip up but, I will also have a plan to recover from it. Just takes a little preparation and motivation. You all can do it too! 

Food aside, I enjoyed my birthday! Got to spend it with my 2 favorite people! I also got a polar heart rate monitor! Which I was pretty excited about! I used that for my workout on my birthday (see, prep for the evening of gluttony). It really is helpful to keep track on how many calories I am burning instead of just guessing. This is really going to be a game changer keeping my calroies totally on track!





Clueless Tip- Never trust mirrors, always take polaroids lol

Juicing and the 21 Day Fix!

Image
Does anybody else have a hard time eating in the summer time? Something about the heat and humidity kills my appetite! So, liquids tend to be my regular meal time in the summers. Shakeology, smoothies and my born again love of juicing! While juicing can be a huge pain between Prep and cleaning the juicer constantly it is still really refreshing in the summer time! So, what I started doing for my own little 3 day cleanse/reboot was: 3 raw juices a day  1 shakeology with water  Between shakeology and juice, I am unstoppable! My energy is through the roof and my body just feels good. So good I have been pushing hard with my 21 day fix workouts! I planned on doing les mills combat but, I got hooked on the definition I was getting with the 21 day fix I decided to keep with it!  Week one- I lost 4 lbs!! Love that fix! Which that put me at the rest of my vacation weight lost!  One of the greatest things I have learned about working out at home is who

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

Image
Ever since I miscarried 4 weeks ago I have been having a terribly hard time losing weight. Working out and calorie counting wasn't doing it. So, I decided to give the 3 day Shakeology cleanse a try! Given my embarrassing supply of Shakeology I figured I needed to put it to use anyway! I decided not to work out during the cleanse. To keep my energy levels from depleting. Day One- Was actually really easy for me. I didn't find myself craving things, I didn't feel hungry and my energy levels were normal. Day Two- Still felt pretty good! I did have more cravings this day. I didn't feel overly hungry, I just felt the urge to eat! lol My energy levels were pretty normal still. I was tempted to stray until I weighed myself! I had lost almost 4 lbs in a day! That felt good! I felt lighter and slimmer too. So, it was working and I wanted to stick it out! Day Three- When I weighed myself this morning I had lost 3 more lbs! Putting me at a total of 6 lbs in 2 da
