6 Week Challenge Week #2

Okay Friends,

So I just completed my second week… The DIET I will honestly attest that I have NOT followed it. I have cheated multiple times with ice cream Thursdays (a tradition my Hubbie and I started) and I may have had a few tacos and Fats one night. Okay so here is what I am doing right… I start every morning with a green smoothie that consists of spinach or kale (sometimes both), some fruit (mango, pineapple, banana), egg white protein powder and water or almond milk depending on how hungry I am. If I feel like it I may add a little lemon too.

key here is to 1) get my protein in after the workout and 2) feel up on something healthy so I just don’t cram my body with whatever is convenient. I also have a salad for lunch and I have been trying to sub out tortillas and excess carbs for salad wraps. Fair enough! I’m all about balance.

Going into week TWO I definitely felt more excited and energized to get to the gym than I did in week ONE. I also love the feeling of being sore after my workouts. There is a level of accomplishment and empowerment that sets in with every GYM day kept. My kids have been surprisingly accommodating getting up and ready so mommy can make it to the gym on time! So EXTRA BIG shout out to these two munchkins!

The weight has remained about the same but I am definitely feeling toner and things are starting to tighten up! I rechecked my body fat and within just one week of consistent workouts my body fat is improving! Remember change takes time you have to be patient and stick with it! This week I am going to focus more on the DIET because I ultimately would love to shed a few pounds. So going into WEEK 3… I want to maintain my workout days, cut out those cheat days and get more sleep these are my primary goals ! I can’t believe after next week I will be half way done with my challenge! Transformation is already beginning to take place and by remaining vigilant I can obtain my goals!

Friends weight loss is a journey it doesn’t happen over night so be kind to yourself congratulate those little accomplishments. Ultimately you are striving for a lifestyle not a temporary fix. Keep your eyes on the prize, stay motivated, and keep doing the things that will bring you true happiness. I love my Raw Fit Fam and feel blessed to be apart of this process.
