EEK! I just noticed that it has almost been a month since I last posted. I am so sorry! That just goes to show how fast time really does fly! So much has happened in the past few weeks!! I have changed programs and jobs. I have realized that if I actually live in the town that I live in, I pretty much love the town I live in. :) I have become the happy girl I always knew I was. YAY!!
I have stopped TSFL and using Medifast products. Turns out that out here in the real world, working a job where I am constantly busy: using MM just doesn't work for me. I was unable to eat all of my meals each day and also unable to get in all the additional foods I was supposed to be eating. Call it poor time management, or poor prepping or just poor excuses! Whatever it was, it just was not working for me. So I have spent the last week or so not on any program. :/ I have been very good though, eating little to no breads/pastas/rice, eating mainly lean & green, and I have added exercise!
I have started out with going on a walk every day, and today (after I am finished with this post) I will begin doing a HIIT workout, which will be done at least 5 days a week. I am going to use Jullian Michaels '30 Day Shred' or a video from my TIU girls! I am super excited to see the results from working out. Just from lifting wine cases I can already see definition in my arms!! :) Also, with my job, I am on my feet for at least 5 hours a day! Huge difference from sitting on my bum for 8+ hours a day!
Starting on Saturday I will begin the TIU plan! I am so excited to continue my journey with this community, and make it my lifestyle! I saw a quote the other day, "I am not on a diet, I am just eating healthy". All of the sudden, the light bulb came on! DUH!! America has this predudice against eating healthy. Apparently, if you are eating properly, then you are on a diet. Come on people! Wake up!!! You wouldn't fill your car with shit fuel, so why are we putting shit food into our bodies?! We have been so brainwashed into feeling guilty if we are eating healthy. It's time to put a stop to it!! Why do we feel like we get to reward ourselves with pizza 3 nights a week?! Or again, in the morning?! Its fine to indulge every once in a while, but every day of the week?! No one is that good!! Just by me changing my eating habits the other people in my household are also. Maybe not entirely by choice, but they are eating more veggies, less carbs and feeling much better about themselves. (ok, stepping off of my soap box)
So, TIU! Otherwise known as Tone It Up, Or Karena & Katrina. They are two amazing girls who have found what works best for them, and girls in general, and have put it out there for the rest to use!! I have purchased the whole Nutrition Guide, and I am getting ready to begin with a 7DSD (7 Day Slim Down) on Saturday. Their whole philosophy is to eat 5 small clean, lean & green meals a day and make sure you are putting in what your bodies need at the right time. :)
I promise to try to blog more with this program. As I will be making/prepping all of my meals I will have a TON to tell you all about!!! :)
PS. I ended Medifast 26 lbs lighter than I began. :) I will take all new measurements on Saturday morning!!
Have an amazing day to you all!! and maybe, think twice about what you are putting in your mouth... ;)
