September 10th, 2016 Check In Day

Well, I have been at this for 13 months now. I feel like I am finally getting into the lifestyle change part of this journey. I don’t really crave bad foods on a regular basis anymore. I know most of the time cravings are your body’s way of telling you that you are low in some nutrient so I guess I’m perfect! (haha) This month I am participating in Beachbody’s HealthBet, Beachbody is putting up 1 million dollars plus $5 more for every challenge pack that was sold between July and August. To win a part of the pot you have to log 5 Shakeology’s per week with pictures and at least 3 workouts in their app. So far I’m on track! I chose the Cafe Latte Flavor after having this during my 3 Day Refresh. The Shakeology came with a calendar for different combinations of ingredients to add and try, so far I am in love! Yesterday was mixed with caramel extract and sea salt, for real it was like Starbucks! This week I stuck with my diet, I had to modify some to fit in the Shakeology so I took out one of my juicing meals. Unfortunately hormones are causing some bloating this week so there was not as much weight loss as there could have been, since I measure everything I eat (except my chicken breast) I know I’m not overcalculating food calories so with a 800-1000 calorie deficit I know there should have been more weight loss but, it should fall off sometime in the next couple of days. I also had to add more water in this week, apparently as you get used to exercising your body becomes more effective at sweating and then you need to add more water. Based on the concept of 1/2 your weight in ounces of water I weigh 448 pounds, more than double my actual weight, but when you factor in 70 minutes on the elliptical, 30-45 minutes of Cize, 25 minutes of T25, I sweat a lot!

This weeks stats were awesome and moving on down!

.75 Inches Lost

.1% Body Fat Lost

1.2 Pounds Lost

This months goal is to be under 200 pounds!
