When I get discouraged, I look at before/afters! Shit MOTIVATES me!
Here is my before/after for a period of almost 2 years. Please know that I am really putting myself out on a limb here! So embarrassing!!!

| February, 2013 168lbs (14 pounds lighter than my heaviest) |
 |
| December, 2014 130lbs. |
I don't have my "before" for this challenge but when I get it, I will share.
1. I've lost 5.3 pounds.
2. Despite drinking 80-100oz of water, eating 3-6 cups of vegetables a day, and taking metamucil nightly, I'm having stingy poops. I might have to call in the big dogs with "Smooth Move" tea.
3. I am really craving Coke Zero.
4. I am struggling with pounding egg whites.
5. I'm noticing my baby abs coming out to play!

| If only shitting were that easy! |
Keep in mind with the Coke Zero thing. I HAVE NEVER REGULARLY been a soda drinker. When I do order a soda, I don't finish it. So WHY, am I craving this MORE than a glass of wine because I assure you...I have NEVER left a fucking glass (bottle??) of wine unfinished. Perplexing and annoying!

| Mine! |

| Truth! |
Exercise
This week came with new experiences in the gym! I am doing Crossfit on Monday and Wednesdays, I am doing a booty muscle building class on Saturdays, and I'm doing HICT (high intensity circuit training/boxing etc) on the rest of the days. I've been in the weight room twice...by MYSELF and am generally trying to mix things up.
I can now officially say....
 |
| Hahaha! This is EXACTLY how I look when lifting. Bikini top, full make up and hair... |
Today I am doing a "rest day" so I am doing a cycle class at LA Fitness at 8am. I need to fit in my cardio before coaching the bad news bears.....I mean the Vipers. Go, Vipers!
I have misplaced my heart rate monitor so I don't have a weekly calorie burn total.
I'm just trying to make EPIC changes in 90 days. I'm excited to see the results. All. Fucking. IN!

Diet
I am carb cycling. Eating more fresh food/vegetables than I have EVER...in my life and I am struggling with downing egg whites. I did a "clean cheat" twice with my Quest bars when I needed something sweet.
Here is a book on carb cycling that my friends Diane and Andrea recommended. I just ordered it from Amazon. As soon as it gets here, I will read it.
 |
| Excited to see how it compares to my plan! |
FUCKING SLEEP
Although I am sleeping 6-8 hours a night (sometimes in a row), I cannot sleep in on the weekends. The 4am weekday alarm is officially embedded in my brain. So I am fucking AWAKE between 4:30-5:30. Fuck. My. Life. I try to go back to sleep but I can't.

| Thanks, Leo! This one makes me giggle! |
We have challenged ourselves to save $500-$1,000 a month by not eating out. We have cooked (I have meal prepped) and we are on schedule. I'll let you know by 1/31 the total amount of $$ saved! My kids are so bummed! At home food!
 |
| This is me. And it is a problem. |
 |
| You're Welcome!!! |
 |
