T25 DAY 7~

Today was the last day for my first week of T25! Today I did my 2 extra workouts to make up for my off days this week, so I did cardio, and abs! They definitely gave me a sweat! Here was my meals plan...

Breakfast: Egg whites with bruschetta, reduced fat feta and 1 slice Ekekiel bread
Snack: black bean chips with laughing cow cheese
Lunch: veggie spicy chicken burger
snack: 2 reduced fat graham crackers with natural Peanut Butter
Dinner: SHAKEOLOGY (Strawberry Cheesecake)
Snack: 1 cup kashi go lean mixed berry Cereal

I do feel like I need to improve since the past few days, I have already fallen off a little.  I am OK saying this because, YES I am A Beach Body Coach, BUT I am also HUMAN!! So, my goal for next week, is to have 1 off meal, and stay on track with ALL of my meals! Now, I will be at the beach, BUT I will be grocery shopping tomorrow for everything I need, so I have NO excuses!!  Also, I will keep up with my water intake!! Water is the only liquid I intake, so I do not have issues with that, it is just the amount that I need, sometimes I forget to drink.. I usually do really well when I set myself up to drink 16 oz water 30 min before I eat.. This helps me get the amount of water in I need, along with helping me stay full for longer! 

Excited to start WEEK 2 tomorrow!!!

Be Healthy With Your Kids While Spending Quality Time!!

Many people say, " I cannot be healthy because I do not have time." or "I work all day and when I finally get a chance to get home, I only want to spend it with them." Here is the thing... if you want something bad enough, you will work for it... end of story.  I have been there, done that. I used up every excuse I could throw out there.  Until I found a way to make it work!! What is wrong with playing with your kids while getting your workout, but both of you enjoying the time spent and getting a good laugh?!? If you can find something wrong with that, please let me know!!  I adore my children, but I also work as a nurse and as a Beach Body Coach, so my time is precious with my kids, but I also realize I need to be healthy so I can live a long life and be around for my children as long as possible! Today, while I felt like I needed to workout , but also wanted to spend time with my son, I came up with ways to do both!!

You may think it is silly, but I killed two birds with one stone!!  We had a blast doing it too!!!

I worked out my biceps....

 15 reps x 3 sets does the trick!!

I work out my Quads while also getting my biceps!!!

 I even work out my shoulders!! Yep.. Delts and Triceps too!!

How bout a little push ups to finish off a good workout?!?!

Make it harder and hold one arm and one leg out!! It's all on what you make it!!

He is having WAYYY to much fun with this!!

So this is my life as a MOMMY and a BEACH BODY COACH!! I love my family, but I also love being healthy!!
