I'm not sure why my weight is going down and my body fat going up, but I am just going to stick with this meal plan to the end.

Could be the nuts, or not enough workouts due to the weather and lack of motivation this past week. I did workout, however not as FIERCE as I normally would. I love nuts, but you really have to measure them out.

Cheats since day 1:
4 Hershey kisses
1 snib of cheese cake
Diet cranberry juice (UTI) 5 cals w/splenda which is NOT on the plan
1 low carb wrap
1 piece of wheat bread

This weekend is my physo roller workshop and I have 9 sign ups, plus 2 that said they would do a "drop in". I am happy with 9 since this is a hands on class I can't handle more then 12 anyway which was the max.

Not sure if I will youtube this or not, I am going to bring the cam and ask permission and if the class says yes then I will be doing some short clips of my favorite moves. I am super duper happy to help people with this fabulous piece of under used fitness equipment. (except in rehab)

Have you ever used a foam roller? If so did you like it?

Last night was mouse racing at my Credit Union meeting, so much fun. Have you ever done this?
However it ended at 10.30 (way past my bed time lol) then I also had to shower. I was restless and could not sleep (mice running in my head lol), I think I got about 6 hrs sleep if I am lucky.

So that made me proud to get up and workout anyway, Go T. Plus I never did a regular ST workout to Zumba music but it was FUN. This is another way for me to learn the music cues.

Yesterday my pants felt very loose on me, and I think some of my changes may be in my waistline. I have not weighed and won't until Friday, but I don't see any changes yet.

Stripped Diet Day 10

I'm starting to feel great, no more bloating so I feel my body is getting used to this Stripped Diet. It calls for no bread or dairy and I had 1 small low carb wrap and a handful of popcorn with a smidgen of cheesecake.

Friday stats will tell.

This is great improvement for me, but this week is going to be even better as the temptations of sweets are going away. I want to thank Carolyn for reminding me no fruit after noon, which is after work for me.

I stuck as close as I could to the meals last night and today, but since I did not have brussel sprouts I subbed in broccoli for dinner yum.

This morning I finished week 3 of JM Ripped and I am starting to feel like its RIPPED OFF right from P90X. There are many of the same moves and when I do week 4 I will lay it all out. Sorry JM but that's how I feel.

For those of you that want to try P90X but feel intimated or that they are too long, this is going to be the perfect workout for you. I will have my full review by the weekend.

Tonight Zumba, nuff said.

Stripped Diet Day 8

Stripped Diet Day 8 Today.

I did not get any pictures of the food this weekend from the dinner out, but I ordered the striped bass. It was a fish on the list to eat, and it was fabulous. I did have a smidgen of cheesecake, so that was a touch of sugar that was NOT in the diet.

This week, I expect changes.

Today is week 2 of the Diet and I have repeated a few meals from the week 1 as I did not have everything I was supposed to have but close. I went and got a full bag of lemons, yum. I also got some of the small snack size bags for nuts so I don't go over my quantity.

Anyway here are my workouts and today is my off day with a client at 5.30. Oh and I am officially on the Yoga Website woo woo.

JM Ripped Week 2 Stripped Day 5

Day 5 of Stripped and I feel really great!

I am sad that my numbers are up, but I am holding strong that the Clean Eat Stripped will get me where I want to go, heck its Tosca!

I had a huge cal burn yesterday with 3 workouts = 630.
Cals in 1820
Sweet!

This morning I did the last part of JM Week 2. I was very sore, because last night there was a new Yoga teacher and she was tough. I wanted to take today off, but NOPE got to get the Bikini Body!!!

Many of these moves are from P90X and I am surprised...SHOCKED!
When I complete it I will list the ones from P90X so if your doing this program you may be ready for P90X.

On my stats, the only big change is nuts in my diet so I will be more careful about using them but I have been weighing them in. Eating only an oz or oz and 1/2 at a time. (So hard to do since I love nuts)

JM Ripped Week 2 Stripped Day 4

DAY 4 Stripped - I have done well with no sugar and snacks but I have got to get over the bloating. So today I left out the avocado to see if that makes a difference. You always go through some change when you change your meals but bloating is one thing I don't care for.

Zumba Zin 32 last night was fun and HARD! Oh my that was a bunch of new moves and I don't really have the old ones down that great. But I sure worked up a sweat and I love many of the arm movements.

Green Monster:
1 c spinach
2 scoops cookies and cream whey
2 c water
1 full banana

Here is my workout today so far and will try to finish after work, Yoga class at 6.30pm. I am seeing MANY of the P90X moves in this workout, and decided to just do each week as a workout.

There are 4 weeks total to equal the 30 day series. Since I want to reveiw this, I am doing it this way. So far I give it an 8.

Creative Oats Stripped Day 3

I'm on Day 3 of Stripped and still had to modify since I don't have all the ingredients. I packed the same lunch as yesterday only I have 1/2 scoop of whey I may add.

Dinner will be shrimp, over fresh green beans, red/orange bell peppers garlic and a squeeze of lemon.

Today's breakfast was very different for me, as it included Mango. I have never had a mango unless it was in a fruit drink. It was odd to cut and the seed is long and flat, whats up with that?

But I loved it!

Here was my breakfast modified from the Stripped diet:
1/2 cup oats
3/4 cup cubed mango
1/2 oz cashews
1/2 scoop cookies and cream whey sprinkled on top

It was very good, it called for coconut but I figured cookies and cream was close enough.

My workout will be at lunch today and tonight is Zumba.
Lunch workout = Inclines & Step ups

Bucket list addition:

THE FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HOUSE

I am going to make an appointment to visit this home. So many times I have drove by the street to this home, but you can't get near it.

JM Ripped Week 1 Stripped Day 2

I started this RIPPED workout today and so far I really like it. If you like JM Shred you will like this style workout, and it goes fast.

I used a 5lb and 10lb db and could have used my 15lb for the dead lifts but I was too lazy to run down and get them. I found this week 1 pretty easy, so lets hope they progress to a sweat fest.

WARNING - The only move I did NOT care for was the front loaded move, where you put the db behind your neck and do a forward 1/2 bend. I think she feels it works legs (quads) and core but it was a strain on my back. Tuck your tummy in tight either way.

So if you have any back issues place the db further away from you neck and more toward your back. Meaning you will have to lower your arms/elbows down to get the weight on the top of your back.

Plus I would have rather used my kettlebell for the swings, and will next time.

Workout - JM Ripped Week 1 (3-2-1 workout style)
Time of workout = 20 min
Cals burned = 133

Warm up:
Arm windmills
Military march
Bend forward to squat
Halo w/5lb db
1/2 squat w/knee lift

3 min ST x 2 sets
Push ups -20
Squat w/shoulder press - 5lb db -15
Lunge w/tricep kick back 5lb db - 20

2 min Cardio x 2 sets
Fast feet (like a football drill in turbo jam)
Skaters

1 min Abs
Plank
Low boat

3 min ST x 2 sets
Dead lift w/upright row 10lb db - 15
db kettlebell swing 5lb
Forward bend w/5lb db behind neck

2 min Cardio x 2 sets
Jump scissor switch legs
Forward punches

I did not get the last core move in or cool down.

This is Day 2 of my Stripped and should do better the next few days as I still have not got this to the exact meals so far. Today no sugar at all, and my whey has 1 gram = 2 gram for the 2 scoops I had today and yesterday.

Since this is a no sugar it also includes NO sugar substitutes so bye bye sugar free pudding *sigh

Stripped Week 1

I'm getting in the Stripped game with Amy.


I won't actually have all the foods down to a tee this week, but as close as I can. (28 days I am so in!)

This weekend I was out of town for my moms 77th birthday, and I had cake. Period. I never got to finish reading my Clean Eat Stripped book and putting the food list together. So Sunday night late I just went by memory and bought things for this week I could remember, to the tune of $95 and forgot the almond milk......*sigh.

How fun that my sister had her Wii with her, so I decided to see how many things I could do on it and what kind of results I had. I have never done Wii My stats were healthy and so I set my goals for a 10 pound loss but really it was about a body fat loss which I choose 20.

I did the 10 min fun run 1.514 miles

And got 2 perfect scores on: Single leg lift Plank to T stand All that Yoga is paying off lol. I did a few more challenges and ST for a total of 45 mins and really enjoyed it. What I didn't like was its more about being in sinc with the Wii and getting used to the board was hard.

Hello the plank on that board KILLS the elbows! Or I have boney ones lol.

Here are my workouts and this weeks goals:
Zumba 3 x
JM 2 x (THEN I WILL WRITE REVIEW)
Yoga 2x
