OUCH!

So I get up this morning at 4:30 all pumped and ready to get on my gym and do a full body workout when I pull out a pin to adjust the incline and SMASH it falls and pins 3 fingers on my left hand!  OUCH!  Luckily they aren't broken but they aren't pretty!

So I cry for a while and get on the treadmill for 45 minutes instead.  Then drive 3 hours to work in the snowstorm.  NOT a great way to start the day!

Why am I telling you this?  Because no matter how horrible your day starts it can only get better.  I feel great about the fact that I am sticking to my plan of working out in the mornings, even if it didn't go how I thought.

MOTIVATION is everything!  Now off to take some Vicadin :-)

Happy Monday!

Loving the way I feel......

I found a GREAT piece of home gym equipment so thought I would share it with you....

I bought the Weider version of the "Total Gym" (you know the one with Chuck Norris and Christy Brinkley) and I LOVE it!  I was able to get it through Amazon.com for only $125.54! 

Yesterday I did a full body workout and 40 minutes on the treadmill and it felt awesome!  This morning I was on the treadmill for 40 minutes and I can really feel that I have been working out.  No pain no gain right? 

My plan is to do the Weider and treadmill Monday, Wednesday and Friday and just the treadmill Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and take Sunday's off.  I will keep you posted on how this plan works.

Well I'm off to have some Herbal Detox Tea!

Down 2 Pounds!

Thank you for visiting my blog! Over the next 30 days I will be updating you on my weight loss and fitness progress while I am using Arbonne Fit Essentials along with exercise and healthy eating. 

Over the years I have put weight on, taken it off, put it on again and so on and so on.  Sound familiar?  Well, I have FINALLY made the commitment to take the weight off and keep it off once and for all!  So.....I started my challenge on Wednesday and would like to share with you how the past 4 days have been.

All I can say is WOW! I started using the Arbonne Fit Essentials products on Wednesday and I am already feeling a difference.  I have also completely changed the way that I am eating and I am now exercising every morning before work (4:30am).  Who am I and what have I done with myself???

So far off to a great start and I am already down 2 pounds!!  WOO HOO! I have replaced my morning coffee with Arbonne Detox Tea, reach for Carmel Fit chews when I crave something sweet, drink Arbonne's protein shakes snacks (and before my morning workout) and use the Fizz Tabs when I feel myself wanting to snack when I shouldn't.  It sounds like a lot of changes to make at once but it's so easy, anyone can do tihs!

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and please do let me know what you think of it as well as the Fit Challenge!

HAPPY SUNDAY :-)
