We've officially started the Spring into Summer P90X challenge group and it's going very well. We have 7 dedicated women (including myself) BRINGING IT!! I'm not going to lie, the first week has been pretty tough! I was X-tremely sore (okay, lame LOL) and decided to take Wednesday off due to a Charlie Horse type of cramp in my calf muscle. Wednesdays are the dreaded 90 minute Yoga days anyways, and I was switching that up with a long run, still plugging away at 1/2 marathon training!! I'll get it in on Saturday instead :-) I feel much better after that one rest day. See, the key is to listen to your body!! I knew if I went for that run, I would just be letting myself down and only doing like 3 miles, when I really was aiming for at least 8-10. Here are my official "before" pictures:
As you all can see, I've lost a little bit of my muscle tone in my abs since I haven't really done ChaLEAN Extreme, in the last 3 weeks, but not too bad!! I mean, I didn't eat the best this past few months, and YES it's true....abs are made in the kitchen!!! BUT I've kept the weight off and no longer have that bulging middle section like I did almost a year ago!!
I must say, I'm pretty proud of the "diet" that I'm following. Now I say diet loosely because I think when people hear the word, they automatically thing "food to lose weight" WELL, honestly, I'm not here to lose any weight anymore. I'm at a pretty good weight for my type of body, which is short, and small boned. What I'd like to do is tone up a little more, and add some more muscle. Adding muscle means you need to eat more. So instead of the 1000 or 1200 calories I use to eat (when I did count calories) I've upped to 1650 at a 50% protein, 30% Carb and 20% fat ratio for the month. The ratio will change next month :-) I've been eating like crazy!! But all healthy food, keep in mind, when you eat junk it doesn't nourish your body, and your body craves more.....so there is this cycle that you do....you eat more junk. Start feeding your body nutritious valued foods (such as Shakeology...yummmm), and soon this cycle will regulate itself!
Hmm what else is going on.....this month will be my 1 year mark with Beachbody, but I'll have a nice blog post for that day!
NOW on to the good stuff!! For the month of April INSANITY Challenge packs will be on sale!! SOOO THAT MEANS, of course, a 60 day INSANITY challenge group starting on April 29th!!

I'm telling you......Shakeology has been a life saver this winter! I work in the Customer Service industry and I've been coughed on, sneezed on and haven't been sick with a cold ONCE this year.....even when the flu was going around work, I didn't get it!! Before I started drinking Shakeology, well, that's a different story!! I DO firmly believe that the reason my immune system kicks booty, is due to Shakeology....SO THANK YOU SHAKE-O!!
So there we have it, a challenge and two amazing offers going on until April 30th!
