PS. like my new tat?!?! :) 
You know what is crazy?? I have been STRUGGLING to get this extra "fluff" off my body for 4 weeks now.  I know I have cheated with some meals, but I have been on track since and literally counting EVERYTHING I am eating and doing... My cardios increased to 40 min, calories at 1200 a day, Macros at 50/25/25. 
My supplements as I said prior have been Potassium and Magnesium, Phosphatidyl Serine.  
My workouts are a variety of my Beachbody home fitness programs (21 DAY FIX EXTREMEINSANITY MAX 30, good ol' INSANITY (can't get away from it), and 21 Day Fix.  
Last week, I literally GAINED 2 lbs ( a lot for prepping for a show this close to the end), and I have not done anything different! I was holding on to water like crazy without having a lot of sodium intake.  So I needed to do something different.  Our bodies work so differently, and I realized what may work the first time, may not work the second!!
So Monday, I decided to do a little trial and error and just see what happens with making small adjustments.  I am keeping the 1200 calories, but my morning cardio, I am using my sauna suit.
Also, I am taking a Dandelion Root supplement once daily and adding an extra dose of Potassium and Magnesium to my regimen.  I feel like an old unhealthy person on meds lol...
But, within days, my body has significantly changed!! I am now seeing my definition and I am getting harder! The extra fluff is leaving!! 
Now, to hope it doesn't come back or I hit another plateau in the next 3 weeks!!

Late night workout with my MAMA!!
Last week, I still needed to lose 15 pounds to get to my competition weight, and as of today, I need to lose 8 pounds to get back to where I was!! That just shows how much water I was holding on to!!
I feel so much better and actually this time around, I am not as tired, but my memory is starting to leave a little.  Totally got lost taking my dog to the vet the other day and I've been taking him there for 6 years!!! AHHHH it feels like pregnancy brain but worse!!! Time to keep my car alarm by me so I can find it in the parking lot when I come out of the grocery store!! :)- Yup, Im one of those people!!

What I love about my workouts is I'm constantly changing my body so I am not doing the same routine every time and working out the same muscles every day.  With my Beachbody workouts, I am able to workout different muscles than I can get at the gym because every workout literally works your entire body! This is why I do not do abs.  I get an ab workout with every morning workout I do!

Part of my success has come from keeping myself accountable in my own fitness challenge groups- In my closed groups on Facebook, we check in daily and say how our day went.  If we did our beachbody workout, drank our SHAKEOLOGY, and rate our food on a scale 1-5, 5 being the best and 1 being the worst.  Then we give tons of motivation  and support to each other, along with nutrition and fitness tips, recipes, and meal plans!
