Only 3 more days of week 3 left! The hardest part of the week is over now. I noticed yesterday that I need to move up in my weights for some of the workouts...interesting to me. Just some of the exercises, not all of them! I will take an improvement when I can. I do know I am getting stronger and building more muscle, now I just have to melt away my layer of insulation. I will, it will take time and hard work but I will. I am not as tenacious as the Edenfield's, but few people are! I haven't given up hope to be like them as far as bringing it goes. I keep pushing play and remember each day I do this for me. I want more from myself than I have in a while.

Week 3

Week 3 has started. I have small bruises on my tri-ceps, identical on both arms. I guess I really pushed it. I can tell I am getting stronger and now I am going to try for better form. I have been running. I used to hate it but I like to be able to clear my mind of the bad things I have going on in there. I know if I can get through it I can get through anything...I keep reminding myself that I am tough and I can do it. Every day makes a difference..think positive and pray. I fall asleep praying most nights and being thankful for the blessings in my life. Breathe in the good thoughts....breathe out the bad...let it go! LET IT GO!!!! LET    IT   GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I wish all of you the best...
Peace and Blessings

Week 3 has started! I feel really good and am not AS sore, or I have gotten used to it...not sure which is the case. Anyhoo, I haven't stopped and don't plan on it either. Chest and back was today. I did not do pull ups but did inverted rows with weights, and that was hard. I may be feeling those tomorrow! Who cares? I can do more push ups than last week - still on my knees but doing them and doing them well, in my head at least. Hey I am trying hard here and if I have to give props to myself then so be it baby. I had a really good day to day and it was beautiful outside. What did you do for yourself today? Hmmm...might want to rethink your options. I am just going to mention this once today, if you don't take care of yourself, who will? I want to be able to enjoy life at 80 people, still doing things on my own for myself. Sounds like a retirement plan to me...better than SS. Think about it.

Oh, so I have been a slacker on here! I have been working out but time on the computer has been cut. Getting ready for school to start = crunch on the time I have to do some things I like. No biggy, I did miss my yoga but got all the others in...Kempo, then Stretch today and I may do yoga tonight! I think that would be alright to do. This next week is going to be interesting to say the least. I gots my shakeology and I feel fine so bring it on.

Today my hands feel heavy. Oh it is because I did shoulders and arms today! I can barely type this, but somehow I will manage. This is a tough one guys. My arms are not as strong as they will be, nor are my shoulders - but next week I will be stronger than today. Trying to see the bright side. No, I know it is worth it but it is hard. I keep on keeping on and sooner or later it will show, right? I mean it has to eventually. It is a proven fact and I highly doubt I am going to be the one to disprove a bunch of labbies. Got in my great breakfast of greek yogurt, non fat cottage cheese and fresh (just picked them myself) Norris blueberries...yuuum. Small apple with peanut butter for snack and protein bar for lunch. Getting ready to have a shakeology for a snack (only half a serving). Goal = more protein, less fat/sugar, move more and build lean mean muscle.

Second week

Yesterday was the start of week 2. We usually do our workouts in the evening. Let me say that I think it was tougher than last week. I struggled with it. But I did it and I keep saying "DO YOUR BEST AND FORGET THE REST!!" I gave myself and Todd pep talks along the way. Then we did Ab Ripper X. When I can do all of those 300 plus exercises I will really be proud of myself. This is the point though....I will NEVER get there if I do not keep pushing play. Giving up is not an option. I want to see ab muscles! I am going to tell you and I know I will continue to say this, but I am in better shape than when I was a teenager. I just want to continue to improve and improve!

It is me, Terra. I have to chime in to say that I have started week 2 with back and chest on Monday. I did Plyo today already and am glad it is off the agenda. I like plyo, it is a great workout and makes me sweat tons. Babs refers to sweat as fat cells crying. I like to punish my fat cells and make em cry, why not they make me cry! Call me crazy but, I am seeing a difference in my strength already. Nothing huge, but enough to keep a smile on my face when I realize what I can do. Booyah baby. Lean muscle burns fat. I want this!

Shakeology...the bomb-diggity!!!

Hello all,
I am going to go on and on about my favorite meal replacement shake.....SHAKEOLOGY!!!!!!
I can not say enough good things about this. I have 2 stories to tell about the wonders of this incredible shake.
Story #1....this is about my mother, Barbara Tutewiler. Last year she decided to change her eating habits and start using Shakeology. A year later she is down 70 lbs. Now keep in mind my mother turned 76 in Feb. She is in a wheelchair because her right leg was amputated in 1990. She went in recently for her yearly blood work and guess what....improvements across the board....cholesterol down, triglycerides down, blood sugar down! She feels so much better and has more energy. My sweet mommy rocks!!!!

Story #2..this is about my cousin Christy Fugate. She just recently began using Shakeology. She was born with Spina Bifida. She is an incredible person, beautiful inside and out with a heart of gold and very courageous! Christy said that she noticed that she is sleeping so much better and that she no longer has cravings for sweets! Her glasses are slipping off her face and her dad had noticed that she has lost weight. Her mother said that since Christy has been using Shakeology that she has not had the digestive problems she has had and that she even had fresh corn on the cob and had no problems at all...a treat she had not been able to enjoy before Shakeology. The one thing that I am tickled about the most is that her mother also shared that the fact her colostomy site has never looked better. I am thankful to Beachbody for all the research that has gone into this miracle shake..It has given hope to people that thought there was nothing that could be done about their weight or health. My mom and Christy are proof that Shakeology is the real deal and more than a meal replacement shake....it is making them healthier!
I know I can tell a difference when I have not had a shake for a few days...sluggish and bloated beyond belief. I love Shakeology and I love Beachbody! I am glad I am a coach and I am helping to change peoples lives...people I love and keep in my heart!
Peace and Blessings!

I am adding to this as well. I really do love my shakeology and do notice a huge difference in my energy level. Heck even my 2 youngest kids ask for sakeology. They think of it as a milkshake treat and I know that they are getting in protein, vitamins and probiotics in their systems. It helps them get the fiber they need as well - only they don't know all of this good stuff is going on. Well played me! Over the last year I have seen drastic changes in my mom (story #1 from Babs). The changes make me so incredibly happy - it means she is healthier and going to have a better quality of life! My mom isn't having the digestive troubles that she used to have, all of her labs have normal values and she has energy to boot! She has been in a wheelchair since 1990 and has limited range of motion in her arms as well...so if she lost 70 lbs, I know I have zero excuses. Period. Dot. End of story. There it is in type on the net and can never be taken back!

Now I have to give props to Christy Fugate!!! She has to be one of the sweetest people I know. She kind, gracious, funny and cute as a button. She is also in a wheelchair and is seeing great results from shakeology in a short amount of time...I can not wait to hear about her results after she has been using shakeology for a year! I am so excited for her and her health. I am very proud she is doing this not only for herself but for her family as well. Yeah for Christy! These amazing ladies give me strength and encouragement! Thank you, and much love to my girlies.
