Sharing is Caring... My Fitness Plan...

I know there are a million different ways to skin a cat, but I'm currently combining Intermittent Fasting along with my Herbalife Lean Out plan and it seems to be working pretty well... I'm down 9.5lbs since last Monday!  For more info on Intermittent Fasting (http://www.theiflife.com/intermittent-fasting-101-how-to-start-part-i/).

In more detail... I'm doing a 2000-2200 calorie meal plan per day ensuring I get in 200-230g of Protein, 70-90g of Healthy Fats and 50-120g of Carbs per day for 6 days a week.. then I have 1 day to eat my maintenance calories (3500+) in order to reset the leptin... hormone that triggers fat burning. 

I am doing a workout program called CT-50 (www.ct-50.com) which is 5 levels, 10 workouts per level all 20 mins or less. The shorter workouts work best for the way that I'm eating. If I were going to be doing extended workout sessions, I'd probably have to eat more. The other reason I prefer the shorter, more intense, workouts is because it should reduce the amount of Cortisol (stress hormone) I release into my body. That hormone also blocks weight/fat loss from my research.

If you want to try this, the numbers would need to be adjusted to your specific requirements.  If you are out there and you need help in getting yourself together, I'd be happy to help you!  Just let me know!

1 Week Results.... Herbalife "Lean Out" Plan & Exercise WORK!!!

All I can say is that Herbalife nutrition & proper exercise works!!  Last time I checked in I was saying Results or Excuses... and I got rid of my Excuses and had some MAJOR one week results!  I got back on track with my Herbalife "Lean Out" plan and I also started a workout program called CT-50 (50 different at home workouts 20 mins or less) and I was able to drop 8lbs last week.  I know that won't be possible moving forward to drop that much on a weekly basis but it was nice to drop off some water weight I'd gained.  I went from 254lbs on Jan 24th to 275lbs on March 9th, so I have a lot more water weight to drop!  I'm hoping to be able to drop another 5-8lbs this week as well.  I know the closer I get back to the 250's, the more the weight loss rate will slow down.. but I'm focused!!!  I can SEE my optimal physical state in my mind and I won't stop until I get there!!

I shouldn't be that surprised at these results, because I was able to do similar things a year ago... I just have to kick myself for allowing my focus to slip during my injuries!!  Oh well.. spilled milk and today is a new day!!  I'm excited to see what this week brings!

I hope all of you reading this are focused on getting your health and wellness together!!!  In the end, your health truly is your wealth!  I am a Health Coach and can help you get results also.. so if you are struggling to find your way, need motivation and someone to hold you accountable.. feel free to contact me!

Results or Excuses...

Finally this knee of mine is starting to get back together.  I had started back on track 3 weeks ago and was doing VERY well... dropped 7lbs in one week and then made the bad decision to play basketball.  That one decision killed all my progress because I quickly sprained my knee 2 minutes into the game.  At some point in life some things have to be let go and this is the point where I bid basketball a fond farewell!!

I sat for 2 weeks limping and gimping around with this knee.... eating horribly.  The sad thing is that I have so much knowledge about the proper ways to eat, but I ended up doing the emotional eating thing (doesn't help that my wife loves feeding me "teddy bear" foods).  I was really down on myself because the weight just continued to pile on.  It has gotten me back to the original point of disgust I was at when I first started Herbalife last year this time.  Sadly enough, after all the progress I'd made over the year, I got right back to the place I started from. 

Right now I feel differently about losing than I did before though... before it was all about hitting a goal weight, but now, I just want to commit myself to the process... day in and day out.  Regardless of what the scale says.. keep putting in the work.  I no longer have the desire to go in the gym and go crazy.. just consistent.  Having this busted up knee really forced me to rethink my mindset...  It really is a battle of the mind and if you can conquer the mind, the body will follow!!


I hit the gym this morning with the help of one of my accountability partners, Robin, and I can say that without her I probably would have made another excuse to put it off until tomorrow.  That's why this post is titled Results or Excuses.... pick one because you surely can't have both!!  I CHOOSE RESULTS!!
