21 DF EXTREME Results..but seriously...EXTREME

Guys. Guys. Guys.

Seriously, so happy with my final results from the 21 day fix extreme! They could've been better and way more amazing if I followed the nutritional portion of the program way better than what I did, but honestly...I'm just so happy.

I can see a curve in my waist again.

Everything is so much tighter.

I'm happier.

There are no scales at camp so I can't weigh in, as much as I want too..I'm so glad that I can't. It's not about a number, it's about how I feel, how my clothes feel, and what a difference you can see!

Here are my before pics and after pics... and some other amazing pics!

Summer Lovin'

GUYS! I had one week of my summer completely free and now I'm jumping back to work!

Kidding.

I'm going to camp!

I'm so excited because Laurelville is literally my favorite place on this entire Earth. I spent countless years there as a camper, counseled there for 3 years, met the love of my life there, and now I'm returning, this time as a director, co-directing with my friend, Byron.

When this opportunity first arose, I turned it down. I had A LOT to do this summer, like ...find a job. But then, I was asked again, and I knew it was God saying..this is for you! Do this! Jared and I both decided it will be a great way for me to spend my summer (keeping my mind off of this whole no job situation and my mind on God and what he can do.) Laurelville has this crazy way of making God palpable and for that I'm forever grateful.

While I'm sad to leave Jared, Daisy, and Zeus, for the majority of the week, I'll be home on weekends! And I'm excited to have a new perspective of summer camp and to keep up with my summer goals. I've got my bags packed full of Shakeology and workout programs. I WANT YOU ALL to keep me accountable! I'm going to workout every morning, exhausted or not - because I know it will make me a better, more patient person. And benefit me! Right?! Plus, I have goals! :)

Guys, this is going to be hard. It's going to be tough. I'm not doing this because it's easy to do - I'm doing this because it's hard to do and because I'll definitely have to push myself. I'm setting a goal to workout consistently everyday.

Now there is one more hurdle I have to jump over. Besides living out of a suitcase for the majority of the summer, and squeezing in a workout every day, and running a camp, and handling campers, and a family at home on the weekends...we have to talk Laurelville food.

I don't think people understand that when God created Laurelville, He blessed it with thee most amazing cooks in the world. Like..think homecooked, amazing food for EVERY SINGLE MEAL.

And you're going to find me hanging out by the salad bar, because as much as I love Extreme Taco Mondays...I still have goals and I know they are going to be reached in the kitchen.

Here's to a summer of suitcases, smores, swimming, shakeology, Shaun T, and some amazing, amazing staff. I'm so excited! So blessed!

SO...will you do it?! Will you encourage me?!?! Will you keep me accountable?!
If you've read this, and you will, please comment below or on Facebook to let me know who my supporters are and who's praying for me!

Again, I love you all. Laurelville has renewed me in more ways than I can ever explain, and I'm hoping for that again this summer. <3

The 21 Day Fix EXTREME Week 2 Results

Days #8 through #14

My nutrition was SO MUCH better at this point! Was it perfect? Heck no. But it was way better!! I'm hoping to buckle down even MORE on the last 7 days. It's so hard to get back on this lifestyle when I took a short hiatus..and now I'm paying for it. I plan on doing this program MULTIPLE TIMES! This week was much easier than the last in SO MANY WAYS. My eating was better, working out became easier (and a necessity as a stress reliever and a calmer). My nutrition definitely wasn't what it should be, it needs to be exact for this program to truly work it's magic and the scale is showing that. However, I'm seeing crazy awesome differences in my body and that's good too! I plan on restarting this again once it's over and trying to complete it successfully while I'm at summer camp. This just really proves that food and the kitchen ARE 80% of health and fitness, losing weight, and maintaining weight. I can workout all day long and not see results because of the foods I'm eating. This week, I'm hoping to really focus in on my eating habits. It's been hard - between the grad parties and picnics, the busy schedule, etc. I feel ya! But I'm making excuses and that's not okay. I shouldn't be, this isn't hard to do - it's easily doable on a busy schedule and I just am focused on satisfying my taste buds for 5 minutes before thinking of my lasting and permanent results. 


Here are my results from Week 2:
Inches lost: 2.5 inches lost!I lost a whole inch on my waist!
Pounds lost: 1.2 pounds 
Photos: 
I was really disappointed when I saw these photos. I'll be honest, the only place I see is a difference is in my arms (which I don't really care about right now) and in the top of my waist. But these pictures don't do it justice..But take a look at the pics below! 

Here are my total results from the beginning to Day 14:
TOTAL Inches lost: 5.75 INCHES TOTAL! 
TOTAL Pounds lost: 2.8 total...because of my nutrition....:(
Photos: THESE PHOTOS MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! YOU CAN SEE THE HUGE DIFFERENCE! My favorite is the second forward facing photo. It's legit...and you can see it. 

What I do.

I wanted to do a pretty in depth blog post about what I do as a coach...and how it literally gets done. And how I've been able to make a small side income and take care of my health and wellness - while working a full time job, being a wife, and doing 8,000 other things because I just can't say no. :)

I feel like the judgement of others tends to get clouded and for this reason most people just think I post sweaty selfies and try to sell products all the time. NEGATIVE.

I workout FOR ME. And I post a sweaty selfie because that's my accountability to the people I'm helping.

I run challenge groups on Facebook - to help other women maintain motivation and encouragement while they are working out. Most of the time, I'm not making any money at all because people borrow programs from friends or already have a program, so essentially I'm a free coach probably 80% of the time.

So this is a run down of my day as a coach, you'll end up seeing it's so much more about my journey than it is about making money. I just so happen to have the chance to work with wonderful women and make a little money on the side at the same time!

My DAY:

5:30 AM - wake up, put in a load of laundry, take the dog and cat outside, unload the dishwasher, and clean up the kitchen, make Jared a coffee

Workout! (never more than 30 minutes!)

Post a sweaty selfie, check in to all challenge groups and post a sweaty selfie there too!

6:45 - 7:00 AM Shower

7:00-7:30 AM Get ready and drink Shakeology
(and then go to school! But since it's now summer...clean the house, go get groceries, run errands, etc..)

7:30 AM -3:30 PM Live life - whether I'm in school or I'm at home during the summer, I'm normal. I spend time making meals, hanging with friends, going shopping, watching TV. Summer is pretty busy so I'll be mapping out a large calendar plan and trying to get organized today.

3:30-4:30 PM Write a blog post, check in with a few interested people, answer messages and emails, post a status

4:30-6:00 PM - Dinner and time with the Family!

6:00-7:00 PM - Clean up dinner and red up the house from the day!

7:00- 9:30 PM - Watch TV and multitask while responding to questions. Hootsuite more challenge groups for the following month! (Hootsuite is a social media site where I can schedule my posts to happen in specific facebook groups - a huge time saver when done ahead of time!)

9:30-10:15 PM - Read a great, new, amazing and fulfilling book before hitting the hay.

Then, the alarm goes off and I'm back at it all over again! This isn't about the money for me. This is about bettering myself - this is about trusting my journey! This is about knowing I have something that can help so many people that I HAVE to spread the word about it. That being said, don't EVER be afraid to message me, to ask me a question, to look for recipes. I'll coach you no matter if you buy a product or not. It's what I do. :)
