Feeling Great

9f0c63091cc2d02746ff13f84d96af92

Just wanted to share how great I’m feeling now since I’ve started Chalean Extreme. Never thought weight lifting would make me feel that way. Now I wake up earlier, and stay up late due to my increased energy.  That’s also in part to Shakeology which I drink once a day, every day. I was really skeptical at first about trying yet another protein type shake, but I gave it a chance after my best friend since 2nd grade said it was working for her. They don’t taste bad either! You can mix numerous other things in with the shake, which I add almond milk, coffee and ice. It tastes just like a mocha! It also keeps me full for at least four hours. It also cuts my craving of junk food down to zero! I’ve lost a few inches all over my body and 6 pounds in a week so far. =)

Starting a New Program…

Well, I had a run in with a slight health program about a week ago and then ran into a family emergency, so I had to put Insanity on hold.  Now, I decided on Wednesday I am going to start a 90 day fitness program called ChaLEAN Extreme. It uses weights and resistance bands. It’s catch phrase is “Muscle burns fat!”

Here’s a little bit about the program:

“Get ready to burn fat, boost your metabolism, and get lean with ChaLEAN Extreme®. Trainer Chalene Johnson will help you build toned muscles so you can lose up to 60 percent of your body fat in just 3 months. ChaLEAN Extreme is designed to give you visible results in only 30 days.

Chalene’s Lean Phasing® technique shifts your body’s fat-burning focus from cardio to resistance training. By using weights or resistance bands, you’ll build lean muscle and ramp up your metabolism. When you have more muscle, you’ll burn fat long after your workout.”

chaleanextremeIt comes with a lot of great items. You get 15 workouts on 6 DVDs. You also get: Muscle Burns Fat Guidebook,
Thigh Toner and Pro-Grade Resistance Band, Body Fat Tester, Fat Burning Food Guide, Extreme Motivation Audio CD, Healthy Eats and Kitchen Makeover DVDs, and bonus Cardio and Core workouts.

I will post my before pictures with measurements Wednesday. And will update every week or two weeks. The food in the cookbook looks amazing!

Somewhat a new beginning…

I started this blog to help me on my journey to becoming a great Beach Body Coach. What exactly is a Beach Body Coach you ask? Well, I’m someone that helps motivate you and push you through your exercise and diet regimen. I help keep you on track, and help you through all the ups and downs on your lifestyle change! I also sell Beach Body products, which include great workout programs, as well as supplements and Shakeology.

I’m on a weight loss journey as well. I started at the beginning of the year of 2012. My weight then was 220 pounds.

Beginning of my Journey

I was always tired, unhappy, and depressed. I couldn’t believe I let myself get to where I was. I then began cutting and counting calories, which was hard at first. I always found myself hungry. It got easier as time went on. I also began to do Zumba, Sweat (hip-hop Zumba), pole fitness, jogging, and some weight lifting. I then got stuck at 175 pounds from what it seemed like forever. I didn’t exactly give up. I kept up with my healthier diet, but my exercise routines slowly became non-existent.  I just felt like nothing was working for  me and became very frustrated.

That was until my best-friend, Meghan, whom I’ve been friends with since second grade said that she was doing the INSANITY program.

After talking to her a bit about it, I then too, ordered INSANITY and couldn’t wait to start. After starting INSANITY, the first week I was definitely sore and felt like I was waddling around everywhere. Then, as time went on, the soreness became less and less and I never realized how much potential I had. After talking with Meghan again, and our coach through Beach Body (Hera), I decided to also purchase their healthy shakes as a one meal replacement per day.

I was a little leery at first about Shakeology, but it actually makes you feel better! I have more energy now than I ever had. It’s also helping with the weight loss and supports my lean muscle mass that I am surely creating. Shakeology has SO many other benefits.

shakeIt helps curve your cravings of sugar and junk food. Other benefits include: improves your digestion and regularity, supports your immune system, and supports cardiovascular health. It also tastes great as well! There are so many recipes you can find on the website.

Now, I’m into month 2 of the INSANITY program and I have lost 7.5 pounds so far, as well as inches all over my body, and have went from 34% body muscle to 37%.
