Combat Day 1 &2

I know in my previous blog I was going to walk and do yoga. But I just have not been able to get out of the house, since it has been super HOT and HUMID here in Tennessee! The baby gets really hot and sweaty in her stroller, and if I go out at night we get eaten alive by mosquitoes. YIKES! I have been chomping at the bit to try Lem Mills Combat, so I decided to DO IT!! I figure I can modify as necessary and slow things down, so that I don't compromise my milk supply (still breastfeeding). It will be interesting to see what happens.

Day 1... I put disk #1 in to find out it was unreadable!! Grrrr... I called Coach Relations and their service is always great!! Whenever you buy straight from Beachbody they back everything, so I am getting my disk replaced for FREE!! In the mean time I am using some other disks that came in the set.

I went ahead and started with Combat Live 30. I enjoyed it, and it was easy to modify so that I didn't over due it. Can't get too crazy or I will burn off the calories needed to make milk for the baby. There is always a learning curve with a new program, so I did feel a little lost at times. But since it is all on DVD I can just hit rewind. I always hated being in a class full of people and getting lost in the middle of a routine, only to miss most of the instruction! So rewinding is AWESOME!!

Day 2 was HIT #1. Basically it was a strength video followed by the Stretch workout. I enjoyed both workouts. They were easy to follow and hit all my muscles nicely! The following day I could really feel that Dan and Rachel worked muscles I haven't used in a long time or EVER. LOL!! I was sore in some unusual places. The HIT workout really hit those smaller muscles, so I am happy with that. ;) Can you say, "definition"! Ya Baby!!

I look forward to the future and seeing how this program changes my body!

My biggest struggle in the beginning is always what to eat. The program comes with a lot of good options. Now I just need to get my booty to the store! So far I have been able to use most of the items in my fridge, but I do need more variety, cause I get bored easily. Thankfully I haven't gotten bored with Shakeology. There are always cool ways to mix it, so it doesn't get boring! And I just got the new Vanilla, which is SUPER Yummy!!

Oh yeah! I am also super excited that this program is not bothering my joints! In the past I have had problems with over extension, but Dan and Rachel keep your movements in check. Yay!

MEAL PLAN

Planning meals out ahead of time should not make you want to cross your eyes and faint at the thought! It's actually pretty simple when you think about it. It just takes a few minutes. Over time you will get better and better at it too! So the time you spend in the future on this project will be less and less. Check out my " CLEAN EATING " page for a larger view of this weeks MEAL PLAN and GROCERY LIST!! It's actually pretty simple to eat clean! This is great for people struggling with PCOS like me.
Love this! It really is true. It's not always easy to shift our perspective when we're in the thick of it! Life can be HARD and it's easy to get caught up in fear, anger and staring at all the problems we face. But, by changing the way we think-- for the better  😄 ! It's worth the challenge we face in the process to make that shift happen. Prayer always helps and Jesus is always listening! Whether you think He is or not, I assure you He's listening and answers are coming.  ❤  "And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us." 1 John 5:14 Listening to those who've been through a tough spot and come out the other side gives hope. Listening to audible or reading books on positive motivation is encouraging. Surrounding yourself with other encouraging, happy and excited people helps too! The main thing I'm learning from going through personal struggles is to keep pursuing having...

The DECISION is YOURS

This really hit home with me when I read it. It reminded me of how I used to behave, feeling victim of our situations and helpless to change our circumstances. It didn't matter if we had made a poor decision and had consequences do to those poor decisions or someone else was causing us troubles... I would focus on the negative and cause myself to be self defeated so that I would feel validated for more poor decisions. Thankfully I had a "Come to Jesus" moment and my eyes were opened to what was really going on. When I was able to see clearly, take owner ship of my mistakes, let go of the past and started reading the Bible regularly I was able to over come the head trash and started making better choices for myself. My health, positive thoughts, relationships, jobs, income and consistency improved. So whatever has been holding you back you are capable of overcoming and making a better life for yourself! #motivation #inspiration
