The Ultimate Reset Cleanse

/in , , /by

cleanse reset2 weeks done & 1 more to go!
Can I get a good luck wish?!

Honestly, I’ve had a couple brief moments where I wanted to quit.

My purpose in doing the The Ultimate Reset cleanse is to experience it for the sake of others ..especially those who may need it more than me, improve on my own clean eating habits even more, cleanse of any toxin build up I may have unknowingly, rid myself of mindless snacking, improve my water intake, learn how to make more meals that are TOTALLY veggie-filled & clean, drop unnecessary water weight & to do this with my husband (who needs it less than I do but wanted to do it)

For those who have signed up for my free foodspiration ebook, you’ll get an email Friday with more details about the UR & how I’ve tweaked it to suit my needs/goals/sanity

I also Took my last “detox” supplement tonight, which isn’t that bad tasting in my opinion. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it this far given I don’t like to cook or follow a meal plan but it’s been really easy to tweak it to suit our needs and likes

Its basically how I already eat just minus  ‪‎quest bars‬, feta,‬ ‪‎turkey burgers‬‪, ‎and ezekiel bread. All those things are replaced with more fruits & veggies! We’ve kept in plain Greek Yogurt sweetened with stevia, low acidity coffee, & eggs even though those were supposed to be excluded in week 2.

So we’re getting more protein & calories than most would consume but we aren’t looking to lose weight with this (but don’t get me wrong, I won’t be mad if I suddenly see a 6-pack☺). And we still workout, just lighter/less intense.

Just an update for those curious

Here’s a great no-equipment-needed workout. You can get these types of workouts & an awesome meal plan with 22min Hard Corps.

Tricep Push-up Progression

Tricep_pushup_progressionFeel free to Share if this is helpful

If you can’t do Tricep push-ups on your feet, start with hand-release Tricep push-ups on your knees by just lowering yourself to laying on the ground completely, releasing your hands & then powering yourself back up. Eventually progress to straight Tricep push-ups on the knees, and then start doing them on your feet. Even though you’ll just start with 1, before you know it, you’ll be doing an entire set on your feet💪

Ab Work- Love or hate?

/in , /by

I’m SO sore today from a leg day Thursday followed by yesterday’s 16.5 (see last post), so today was just abs + fasted LISS (low intensity steady-state cardio). I rode my spin bike with low resistance & fasted means I did it first thing in the a.m. with no food prior, just ‪Energize‬). I only do fasted cardio if I’m NOT doing an intense workout and/or NOT lifting – I personally need fuel for that. So I really rarely do fasted cardio.

WOD 16.5

/in , /by

WOD_16.5Would you do it!???

Not a happy face when I heard this was the WOD cuz this workout was no joke!!! But I loved it! I just do crossfit casually a few times a week mainly just to fit in a short intense HIIT workout with friends, & to challenge myself in different ways (i.e. it’s a supplemental thing I do for fun-yes, this stuff is fun to me), but this is one that took me 18minutes & is one you can do at home!

 

🏻Competitive crossfitters like Camille Leblanc-Bazinet do it in HALF that time! If you don’t have a barbell that you could load up to 65 lbs, then try the thrusters with your Dumbbells like we do in 22-Minute Hard Corps! Choose a weight that suits you because this ends up totaling 84 reps of Thrusters & 84 reps of bar-facing burpees!!  SO BE IN TUNE WITH HOW YOU FEEL.

Results May Vary Depending on Effort

Results vary Based on effortSomeone will unlike my page for this post & that’s ok! My page wouldn’t even exist without Beachbody. Without Beachbody, I’d still be sitting at a desk from 8am to 6 or 7pm at night ..yep, truth!

I know those people just don’t get this business & there was a time when *I* didn’t get it either (btw, I did a presentation explaining).

It’s legit. It’s people holding people accountable. It’s believing in someone before they believe in themselves. Success takes consistent effort over time, but it doesn’t feel like “work”.

A bunch of us on the team earned this sweet Nike “Elite Coach” jacket this week and I can’t help but reflect for a second how much Beachbody does to reward us!

How has Beachbody, or its programs or trainers like my sis, helped YOU?

Needed a Warm Up

/in , , /by

warm upNo, this was not dinner silly! This was just an evening snack!
I was sooo chilled after my freezing cold run🏃💨 & shake tonight that I needed some hot decaf coffee (yah, with WHIP ☁ lemme have a lil fun🎉) & some hot edamame🌱!!
We had Pizza last night & I ate a ridiculous amount as I usually do.. without guilt because I rarely splurge big like that & it was planned. But today I needed to get back on track

When Things Get Tough

/in , /by

When Things Get ToughMy point is this… when things get tough & you make the difficult decisions and sacrifices to workout & eat right anyway, you are also showing others what’s possible despite struggles…

Your kids are watching, your parents, friends, family, co-workers, your followers..People are watching and you have an opportunity to inspire. Someone needs to take lead; let it be YOU.
