THE FUTURE...

Hi everyone, since my last post i've managed to keep the weight off!!!! But something that I obviously needed to consider was the next step. Contrary to what you all must be thinking, that I'm so relieved to relax and eat good food again and relax from working out, I actually miss it. After about 3 days I was craving the gym and the foods I ate on the diet. So I searched online for a new challenge. 

I found a Jillian Michaels App for iphones that allows you to create an account that sets up a daily workout and meal plan. It only costs 4 dollars a week but it keeps you on track and even has a variety of news letters to keep you motivated and answer any questions you have. Its great.

The workouts and meal plans are created after taking a test that calculates the rate at which your body metabolizes food. It asks you your body shape, what foods you eat, your current workout regimen and what your most problematic areas are. It has shown me so many new workout moves and even provides videos to go along with it. The meal plan is much of the same. I have downloaded other apps as you've seen in my previous posts but nothing comes close to this one. 

I think that the best way to achieve a goal, is to challenge yourself. With each challenge I do, I put all I have into it. When i'm done i feel outstanding, like i worked for something and I got it. I hope that all of you reading this learned from what I'm doing and got something out of it. This has been such a process and I cant wait to master the next thing.

  1. I think it's awesome that you stuck to the advocare challenge despite all of the struggles and obstacles that came your way. It takes a lot of will power and motivation to stick to a plan like the one you were doing, especially in college. So good for you! It's great that you started getting used to a healthier way of living and that you are now more motivated to eat better and go to the gym because you've see such great outcomes from your effort! You're blog posts are all so informational and that app seems really useful! I'll definitely check it out!

  2. Way to go! Dieting and working out can be one of the hardest things to stick with, and the fact you finished advocare and now are continuing to find ways to challenge yourself is awesome! Hard work and determination definitely pay off!
