It's Prep Time!

Getting my prepping on for a very successful workout week is what I have spent the last hour doing. I have my list made out of my workouts and have my recipes planned now just ready to put it all into action. I am doing a 8 week challenge from TONE IT UP! It is called the Bikini Series and so far I am in love <3 These two trainers are so inspirational and motivating, I cant wait to see my results at the end of my 8 weeks. I will be accompanying their workouts with my AdvoCare nutrition plan, so I hope to see really great results! :)

Here is my workout for today and I am so ready to head back home from school to complete it. 

This is from toneitup.com

After I complete this workout I will be doing my Jillian Michaels Shred DVD that I am in L<3VE with! 

Hope you all find some inspiration or motivation from today's post and join in with me and millions of others who are taking on Katrina and Karena's Bikini Series Challenge!

Happy MONDAY!

Spring Fever & Bikini Series from TONE IT UP!

It is Tone It Up's 3rd Annual ☀BIKINI SERIES™!!!!!

 I am so excited to join in on this challenge & get my beach body ready for the summer! I signed up last night on toneitup and got my workouts ready to go for today. Here are the two workout challenges I did today.

Workout Challenge #1: 45 minutes of CARDIO! Anything you want to do..elliptical, treadmill, stair master, anything you want for 45 minutes. I decided to do the stair master for only 17 minutes today then I went to Zumba which is a hour long class, so I got my cardio in by dancing my booty off. 

Workout Challenge #2: SunKissed Abs! I did this ab workout when I got back from the gym and it was such a great workout!

Here is where to find the workout! :) SunKissed Abs

New Blog Series!!!

I have decided that I wanted to start a blog series to help track my progress with the workouts I do. It finally came today!!!

Shred DVD, Camelbak water bottle

Im so excited to start doing this DVD. I have so many workout DVDs, but I really really want to try this one and stick it out for the full 30 days. Along with sharing my workout journal I wanted to start keeping a journal that I talked about in some previous posts about the foods I eat. When I have some sort of accountability with a journal I will be more likely to get my ass a moving and get motivated. I have been lacking some extreme energy levels lately and it's granted probably staying up til 2am browsing on the Internet for clothes, random shit I dont need, etc., but that's fixable. I have noticed at times I find myself polishing off a whole bag of lays without even realizing it. Sometimes I just can't help myself. Yummmmm. 

 So with that I am starting up a workout series featuring my workout for the day along with a food diary. I am thinking about having links for each workout so you can all follow along. I hope to have my first post to this new series on Monday, so keep and eye out!! I'm really excited to start this because I'm kicking 2013's butt already with my weight loss journey.  Just incase you all need a little inspiration (this is seriously the most embarrassing thing ever) but this before and after is from February 3rd-February 22nd. I have a long ways to go but overall I have lost a total of 13lbs!! I couldn't believe this small transformation.

I am willing to help out anyone to get amazing results and that is why I want to start this series on my blog.

Summer will be here before we know it!! HELLO BIKINI TIME!!

My screensaver I think was taunting me while I was thinking about this blog post, because it kept putting beaches and palm trees in my face. I cant wait for the summer :) Not only is it my favorite time of the year, but my 21st birthday is in JUNE! Holla!!

This one is one of my favorites :) So pretty!

Weight management and the ugly truth.

     Today my brother had his county invite for golf and was that a rough morning. I had to get up around 7:30 this morning and my body is definitly not use to that. It was a nice morning though got some great shots of him playing golf and sure got in my exercise walking the 18 hole course with my parents as well.

   Exercise...not my forte but this is something I have thought about blogging or keeping a journal of my progress for quite some time now so what a great time to start!

      I will be the first to admit that I need to lose weight it has always been an uphill struggle for me. When I graduated high school 3 years ago I wasn't extremely slim but I was probably in the best shape I had been throughout high school and then college came. The first year wasn't bad on me, but this year I found myself having some pretty bad eating habits. I love fruits but ice cream has become my weakness especially the Ben n Jerry's "half-baked" kind. It is so mouth watering and delicious and has become a bit of a problem. A BIG PROB!

     Today I am giving up junk food!! Everything that is on the list will be easy except for ice cream. I mean it is getting close to summer. I know here in Indiana it gets pretty hot and miserable during the summer so a cold treat always helps cool off a little bit. As well as a dip in the pool :).

I would also like the stick to a workout plan. I have multiple fitness games and activities to do its just hard for me to actually stick to it for more than a couple weeks.

     If there are people out there who are having a hard time getting motivated I have found a great app for my iPhone that helps me keep track of the food I consume and the type of exercises I do. This app is MY FITNESS PAL. It's great because you and your friends can help motivate one another and congratulate each other when one is making progress with there weight loss.

     I would love the help and support from my readers to keep me going through this journey as I challenge myself this summer and the rest of my life to get on the healthy track! We all want to feel healthy and beautiful so let's take the challenge together!
