The last 6 weeks I have been working out with Fit4Mom LB doing the Get Fit Challenge and it was awesome! It was about 20 women and we all supported each other in our own personal goals. Mine included having my pants fit more comfortably, losing a few pounds, holding my plank longer, giving up my daily bread, stopped drinking and reducing dairy. I have to admit it went really well! I am so proud of myself, never before have I done so many challenges in one day haha we walked over 10,000 steps, did over 100 jumping jacks, 50 squats and a lot more every single day. I slept better, I had more energy and I got in at least 5 workouts a week. I am sad its over but I plan on keeping it up. & then entered my decision to do Whole 30, after changing all those things in my diet I can't lie about how much better I feel. I know dairy literally gives me cramps for a day or two, I know that too many refined carbs makes me bloat and ache, I know sugar [hidden sugars] make me wake up often at night and I have no idea what causes these migraines but I am ready to get rid of them. I read the book so quickly - thank you so much Emily for the gift! You can buy your book here if you want one - It Starts with Food and I got all my sugar free sauces on Amazon too - Tessamae Dressings I did the starter pack but you can buy them one by one also.
So here we go, for the next 30 days I will be checking in on my blog with my pictures, my thoughts, my recipes and meal preps and at the end I will find out my results because I won't be weighing myself or anything like that during this. My goals for whole 30 do include a little weight loss but not much, mostly I want to feel good, for my face to be brighter and to sleep better so that I can have a great day with my husband, my daughter and at work!
My girlfriend, Kristen, just completed hers and she has been such an inspiration! We started a Facebook group if you wanna join and read recipes and maybe jump in with us. Tomorrow there are a few of us starting - Teresa, Sara, Shannon, Kristin and Emily. Our Facebook group - join here
Well, i fyou have done this in the past please feel free to send me any tips and tricks! Last night I did a week of meal prep and got a lot of compliant snack bars if I need them!
Have a great day
