Ending the first week

As I am ending the first week of my 2 week challenge I am pumped and already looking forward to my next one.  It's so exciting to see others getting involved and sharing their journey with each other.  Not only are they keeping themselves accountable, but it helps me stay on track and they are keeping me accountable.  I feel like it's my job as a coach to be up before everyone and posting that post that they will for see first in the morning.  Their coach got up and worked out already and that I hope is inspiring.

This next challenge will be on my own.  As in my coach won't be there to guide me through, I'll be leading it myself.  Along side my new coach that I signed on earlier this week.  I already see my team forming and it's encouraging me to work harder and reach more people.

I'm currently doing 21 Day Fix and loving it!  It's 30 minute workouts that I knock out easy before work each day.  It is 7 days a week, but that's simple to do at just 30 minutes a pop.  I am also following the meal plan, which uses the containers I talked about in a prior blog entry.  LOVE IT! It's so doable to fill these containers each day and just eat that food.  Of course, there is a food list for each food group.  But, I know you can find something you like.  It's all about eating clean and your body will LOVE you for it.  I even stuck to my meal plan on Thanksgiving.  Of course I may have stretched what actually was allowed (like cornbread stuffing) , but I did not over eat and I was still able to enjoy Thanksgiving and not have to miss out.  I even lost a pound over this week! I don't think I have ever been able to say that.

I've even been going out on a limb and cooking new recipes all from the Beachbody blog site.  They have HUNDREDS of recipes and all I have to do is type in say "Salmon" and recipes for different salmon dishes come up.  I have even made cookies that fit into the clean eating plan.  And they were good! Hit the spot for my sweet tooth.  These recipes even tell you the portions for the container system, which is a BONUS!

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE to not do these programs to get in shape for the new year.  I am well on my way and I hope to inspire others to join me on this amazing life changing journey!

To give thanks

Yup, this is about how I felt this afternoon after our gigantic meal for our tiny family of 3 (which Elliot ate NONE of).  *Sigh* Got to love 2-year-olds! Thankful for family, friends, good food, good wine and our health! To name a few :-)

Oh, what a day

I'm feeling a little blah today. It's beautiful outside and I am stuck indoors. Maybe I will go sit out on the porch for a little bit this afternoon. Technically it is indoors since the porch is glassed in, right? This is going to start to get hard now since it is getting so nice outside. My Aunt loaned me her full disc set of all the seasons of the show "Friends" a few weeks ago. I didn't realize there were so many of them! I'm a little halfway through and have made it a personal goal of mine to get to the end. Then next on my list is "Desperate Housewives", which another aunt loaned me. I've moved away from my reading phase. I don't know what it is, but I have always been like that. I will read like crazy for a straight month or so and then stop cold turkey for who knows how long. Hopefully the baby bedding comes in tomorrow like it is supposed to so we can, well more like so Chris can go get the paint for the walls in the baby's ...

Silly faces

Elliot already has many silly faces that she makes.  Like this one... I think she is already practicing the clueless look of "I didn't do it!".  I don't know how I am going to scold a cute face like that.  I am sure when I have crayon all over my living room wall it will be much easier. This is the look of, "Mom, that flash is way too bright!".   This next one is one of my personal favorites...  It says, "Yeah, I'm cute.  So what?". And last, but not least... "Listen to me scream!"  Gee, I wonder where she got it from?
