MY "5 DAY CLEAN EATING CHALLENGE!!!" - RESULTS!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I COMPLETED MY FIRST "TEAM BEACHBODY 5 DAY CLEAN EATING CHALLENGE!!!"

WOW...  WHAT AN EXPERIENCE IT WAS FOR ME!!!  I'LL SAY IT WAS AN EYE OPENER FOR ME...  I HAD TO LEARN TO OBEY THE RULES...  LOL!!!

THROUGHOUT THE CHALLENGE...  I'LL ADMIT...  I STRUGGLED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT CERTAIN FOODS SUCH AS "100% WHEAT BREADS, PLAIN PROBIOTIC GREEK YOGURT, AND DAIRY PRODUCTS!!!  I WAS LIKE...  "WHAT'S WRONG WITH "WHEAT"...  IT'S GOOD FOR ME.  BUT THE RULES ARE THE RULES AND I AM PROUD TO HAVE FOLLOWED THEM AFTER A WARNING FROM THE COACHES...  LOL!!!

I ALSO LEARNED THE ALTERNATIVE SIDE OF EATING OTHER FOODS AND KNOWING THAT THEY ARE CLEAN.

AS FAR AS THE EXERCISES GO...  THAT WAS ALREADY GOING WELL FOR ME BEFORE AS I LOVE TO WORKOUT AND DRINKS LOTS OF WATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

ALSO MY "SHAKEOLOGY" ARRIVED IN THE MAIL AND I WAS ABLE TO ADD THAT TO MY DAILY INTAKE.  I ORDERED THE "VEGAN-CHOCOLATE" AND I LOVE IT VERY MUCH!!!  IMMEDIATELY I DRANK THEN TWICE A DAY!!!

AND NOW THE CHALLENGE HAS ENDED AND HERE'S MY RESULTS...

HONESTLY...  AND PLEASE DON'T BE OFFENDED BY THIS...  I AM NOT A "WEIGHT SCALE" TYPE A PERSON AND ALTHOUGH IT SAID I LOST "7 POUNDS..."  I GO BY MY BODY MEASUREMENTS WITH A TAPE MEASURE.  AND I SHOULD'VE MEASURED MYSELF BEFORE I STARTED THIS...  BUT...  I WILL ADMIT THAT MY CLOTHES HAS DEFINITELY FELT LOOSER THAN LAST WEEK!!!

SO THAT IS MY "PRIDE" OF THE WEEK!!!

I'M ALREADY LOOKING FOR THE NEXT CHALLENGE FROM MY COACH...  JUST WAITING FOR THE INVITE.

AND STARTING THIS MONDAY...  I AM DOING THE "PIYO BEACHBODY CHALLENGE CONTEST!!!"

IT'LL BE A 2 MONTHS CHALLENGE AND I ACCEPT WITH THE "EYE OF THE TIGER!!!"

SO LETS DO THIS FOLKS!!!

I AM ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A "TEAM BEACHBODY COACH" SOON AND I'M LOVING THE PHILOSOPHY OF THEIR "SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY" SYSTEM!!!

WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE???

SO BY NEXT YEAR...  2015 IS MINES TO GRAB, CLAIM, AND CONQUER WITH FORCE & RECOGNITION!!!

I INVITE ALL OF YOU TO JOIN ME IN MAKING OUR WORLD...  "ONE POSITIVE HEALTH AT A TIME".

MY ROAD TO "SPARTAN RACE TRAINING" - DAY 09 THRU 12, PLUS I ADDED A "5 DAY CLEAN EATING CHALLENGE!!!"

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

AFTER MY "AWWWESOME" & FUN WEEKEND...  IT WAS TIME TO GET BACK ON TRACK WITH MY "SPARTAN RACE TRAINING" WITH AN ADDED SPECIAL BONUS FOR FUN.  I ACCEPTED TO PARTICIPATE IN A "5 DAY CLEAN EATING CHALLENGE" FROM MY "TEAM BEACHBODY" COACH, ANGELA!!!

THE RULES:

So, for the next 5 days, please try your best to avoid these foods:

Sugar (fruits and vegetables and Shakeology are ok), gluten (wheat, rye, spelt, bulgar, semolina, couscous), soy, alcohol, dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese).

.  I will post the meal plan for each day the night before. You will have a grocery list that you can pick up today or tomorrow and then just follow the simple meals each day. Who said this wouldn’t be a little exciting?

.  You will probably be hungry but if you are seriously fatigued then you might double up on your snacks. Don’t give in to large portions though…your body might be detoxing a little and some fatigue is normal for the first few days. Drink at least half your body weight in OUNCES of water every day, more if possible.  For example, if you weigh 140 lbs, your target is 70 ounces of water a day.  I typically do 120 ounces a day and I weigh 115.  What you think is hunger might be dehydration.  Do NOT restrict calories like this after the 5 day group is over. You are a machine so you need to fuel it for longer workout programs.

.  You need to commit to 30 minutes of movement all 5 days.  Come on, you can do it!  I'll be sharing a move a day for you to try, in case you don't have a regular program that you're doing right now.

.  HAVE FUN!!!! You are committing to post every day to this group but enjoy the process. It’s ONLY 5 days. You can do it! We'll have a picture posting contest everyday, cause we LOVE pictures!!!  I will choose a winner every day to win a packet of Shakeology, so post, post, post!!!

.  Take your BEFORE pictures and measurements!  You'll be glad you did!

Okay, that's it!!!  Let's go!!!!
