Cookie

Monday I ate a cookie. An oatmeal raisin cookie. Said cookie was so soft, chewy, delicious and had just the perfect amount of cinnamon. The cookie was delightful. I then immediately texted my prep coach and confessed my lethal sin. 

A week earlier my meal plan changed. Less carbs. More protein and a little more fat. My stomach has not enjoyed the large amount of egg whites, addition of tuna, or the added almonds and almond butter and plain rice cakes. My calorie is went down but the amount of meals increased. My poor stomach. 

Today, as with the last few days I feel bloated. 

Literally like a busted can of biscuits. Ilso feel loose and jiggly. Which according to my coach is great because it means the cortisol and fat deposits are starting to break up. Which is fantastic. The body fat percentage needs to drop. However. The jiggly beached whale feeling is getting old. 

After my cookie fiasco I had a rough day of beating myself up over it. My coach responded with an "it happens but don't let it happen again" - kind of him right?! I let it go and moved on. 

My one mistake won't mess up all the progress I've made these past six weeks. It was a cookie. Accept it and move on. Mind over matter and remember that you're in this to win this and are only competing against yourself!

Turn down for ALMONDS

Pretty jazzed about all the possibilities for almonds these days. Yes I love almonds. I love them raw or salted or seasoned. Here are two of my favorite recipes! 

So it begins

So this is the beginning. I've made the leap and found the courage to do something I have thought about for years. My fitness journey has been a roller coaster to say the least but I've finally decided that is not just a fleeting period of time....this is a LIFESTYLE!

In yoga there is a saying that says "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." I have already found my yoga teacher and couldn't be more thrilled to have my 200 hour RYT certification. Shortly after my certification my second teacher, and now coach/trainer, appeared.

My lifestyle changes have led me to a great and empowering human. He is going to coach me and guide me for the next six months on how to bring the best me onto the stage and you best believe we bringing sexy back 💃🏼. 

Now this journey and change is not going to be easy. Not at all. This journey is going to be hard as hell and fun as hell all at once. I'm so intrigued and curious to find out what my body can handle physically and to learn what I can handle emotionally and mentally. The mind is a dirty trickster and I'm not about to let my mind defeat me and steer me away from my goals.  

So join me on this ride as I make my dreams come true!

Happy Friday Y'all, 

Let me tell you about my recent best friends 

MY HERBALIFE SHAKES 

yes, i am all about my shakes these days. I'm on a mission to get fit and look good in a bikini for my 30TH BIRTHDAY. My main motivation is to feel 100% confident with myself and to live until I'm 100. Both would be wicked awesome. 

My Herbalife is my life saver. It's the perfect meal replacement and you can be incredibly creative with your shakes and what you add to them.

I use fruits, veggies, coffee, and I've even added ice cream (but only one time, ssshhh). Ice cream isn't a regular thing in my house as I have lactose issues so I have to really be prepared and having insane calcium cravings which are very very rare. 

The shakes in the picture below were all make with the FORMULA 1 HEALTHY MEAL  Vanilla Flavor. Technically this is 1 days worth - but for most people this would be 2 days worth. Because I work overnights I have a weird schedule and a hard time eating in the middle of the night so I drink a shake or two for my dinners and then have my bigger meals before and after work. 

These shakes have Kale, Greek Yogurt plain, Vanilla Almond Milk, tropical frozen fruit, Herbalife Formula 1 and Herbalife Fiber Complex (regularity is important). 

They keep well in the fridge over night, or for 2 nights - after that they kind of taste a bit funky. They also travel well in pint size mason jars. I don't have to worry about spilling or leakage in my lunch bag or purse and can just grab them out of the fridge and go. NO EXCUSE!!!
