On 2 the Next Challenge...

What a pretty Friday Afternoon. I just got off the phone with my dear friend Amy who is more like sister to me. She always knows how to pick up my spirits. Who does that for you? Other than your significant other, children or God... who do you turn to?  I'm thankful for my friends.

Ok, so lets talk about my fitness. I just finished Turbo Fire/ Chalean Extreme Hybrid. I only lost 7 lbs, but I lost more inches. It's my fault. I started in June and I was on fire. My Nutrition was good. Notice I said good. Listen! Nutrition has to be great with routine exercise. I've got the exercise down. That's a given. But I allowed myself too many ice cream cones throughout the summer. I allowed myself too many cheat meals on the weekends. Do I regret it? Absolutely NOT! Maybe for a moment, but I slept on it and I'm ok with my failure. I'm moving forward with it and with that comes bigger challenges BUT with a peace of mind. uh-huh! I have 3 small children and having our Friday Ice Cream treat in the summer was worth it. Here are my results.

Where the heck was everyone this summer? I did so great with Insanity back in Spring. It's like everyone was really there trying to get their body right for the summer. I need accountability yall! I lost my momentum when my son started 1st grade. It just sucks that it has t be this way, but I'm ready to bring it. I've got over 65 confirmed P90x/Insanity challengers on Facebook. Whether or not everyone will stick around, we shall see. But I will be here. I'm holding myself accountable to the world. I was a BEAST back in spring and I'm backkkkk.

I feel sorry for my husband already because he knows how witchy I get when I restrict myself. He's re-joining me. I kinda lost him there the past 2 weeks. It's not fair though because he's still losing weight! errr. I'm really hoping that he will get up with me at 5am Sunday through Friday. I love working out with people and I would love it more if that person was my husband.

Soooo....for the next 90 days I'm suppose to consume 1,966 calories per day according to the Harris-Benedict calculator. Back in the spring I was eating up tp 2,100 calories a day. It was a challenge, but I got results by eating MORE! Imagine that! For Turbo Fire & Chalean Extreme I was only consuming 1,700-1,800 calories. Maybe that's why I was so hungry all the time. I just didn't put much effort into counting calories this past summer. I  ate clean for the most part with protein and carbs at each meal, but I guess it wasn't enough. Either way, I had a blast with Mama Chalene Johnson. She's amazing and inspiring. But I'm ready for Daddy Shaun T. & Uncle Tony Horton! Let's goooooooooo. BRING IT!
