Hammer and Chisel - Week 4

I am not going to lie - I should really be calling this week 3! Because week 3 was a wash - I missed workouts, cheated on my meal plan and did not take my own advice... I could make a million excuses about being busy, the holidays and on and on but really I was being lazy - and I paid for it when I jumped on the scale! So I need to make week 4 my come back week and redeem myself - and it starts with a strong why and a strong plan!

2 new recipes and Shakeology No-Bakes (to help with these post holiday cravings!) - over 20 meals prepped for the 4 of us! Dan used his new Wok and I am excited to bust out my new weights from Santa! I started Hammer and Chisel using 8's and 10's - in week 4 I am going to be using 12's and 15's! I am also going to be doing the Shakeology cleanse on my rest days! With 2 1/2 months before the cruise, I am all in!

 

Bumping the weights up, really kicked the sweat up! Holy burn!!! I loved it! Thanks Santa! I have had a few people ask me, if I was worried about bulking up with this program - and the answer is NO! Muscle is key to fat burn - muscle burns more calories after a workout than fat tissue does... Clean diet, weights and a little cardio = healthy fit body!

 
 
 


 

Shakeology No-Bakes were the perfect (and now permenant) addition to my meal plan - kicked the cravings and night time cravings. Girls loved it, and Dan snuck a few too!

Alright New Year - here I come! Get READY!

 

Ahh the New Year, time to get serious - and no, it isn't my resolution - the CRUISE is single digits away! A cruise I earned - and I will be so mad it I did all this work to earn the cruise and then not have my body be where I want it to be.. So time to get serious - because I deserve it.. and not just this, all the things I want this new year to bring - and it starts with me! So CHEERS!

 

Getting ready for a great Week 5! It is going to be a busy one with going out of town (well not really out of town, just an hour away - but staying in a hotel with a busy schedule).  But I have a plan and will be packing a meal and snacks!
