ENERGY~

Seems like lately I've got a lot of it! I am happy to report that I've broken my plateau! Back in Feb of this year I started Insanity and lost 26 lbs in 63 days. I only ate good maybe 4 weeks out of the 12. Then I hit it again and went for round 2 of Insanity. Lost only 6 lbs. I like to blame it on the move to Georgia and not being focused and strict on my diet. But at least it wasn't 6 lbs gained. soooo Mid June and all through July I weighed anywhere between 178-181 depending (ladies u know. hehe) I could  NOT for the life of me get down in weight. I ate pretty clean except on Sunday Funday! I splurged!!! And during the week I would sneak bites.

Anyhooo. My Coach Leeia sings the same song to me about Nutrition. And I usually listen to her 80% of the time. WEll guess what? 80% wasn't cutting it. DUH! I spoke to my brother who also a Beachbody Coach and he pretty much said to cut the sugar! Not to eat more than 10-12 grams a day or something. I was not really consuming that much sugar other than tbsp of honey in my oatmeal which contained 17 grams of sugar! I was using Vanilla Almond milk 2x a day to make My SHakeOlogy and Protein drink. Guess what? 15 grams of sugar each serving.

SOOO I cut those 2 ingredients out of my diet and replaced the Vanilla Almond Milk with unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk ( NO SUGAR). In only 3 days I was down 4 lbs. I know some will say Im not suppose to lose that much in 3 days, but I know half of it was water and being that Im bigger, it's ok to lose more than 2 lbs a week. But it's not the amount of weight lost that's important. It's the amount of FAT! dude! I'm on day 7 and down 5 lbs. The scale is tipping at 173-175!!!!! I'm HAPPY!
