Today was my official weigh-in day. While I have not eaten perfectly every day, I am quite impressed with my results! I started my new journey, like many others, on January 1. While every year I always want to lose weight it is typically due to vanity, not health. After my health scares in 2013 (cancer scare, chest pain and "at risk" blood pressure) I finally came to the realization that I have to do something about my health so my kids don't lose me too soon. Hence, my determination to make 2014 my healthiest year yet!
So back to my weigh in. 6 days down and I have lost 3.4 pounds. WOOT WOOT!! I am super psyched about this and hope I can keep up the momentum for the rest of the month.
Yesterday I also decided that I am going to start working on clean eating. I'm excited to see what other foods are out there that don't require removal from a box or plastic.
Bring on the new me, I'm so ready for her to shine!

Biometric Screening
Last week I had my biometric screening done at work to test my blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose etc. While my #s are not great, most of them are better than they were last year.
This year:
Blood Pressure- 140/90
Total cholesterol- 179
HDL - 56
CHOLESTEROL/HDL ratio- 3.2
LDL - 106
Triglycerides 86
Fasting Blood Glucose - 104
Last year:
Blood Pressure- 138/90
Total cholesterol- 189
HDL - 43
CHOLESTEROL/HDL ratio- 4.4
LDL - 113
Triglycerides- 169
Fasting Blood Glucose - 108
While I have some work to do, I'm making progress. I was asked what I was doing different to make my #s go down. While I haven't been consistent, I owe this to Shakeology! Working hard to get my numbers down even more and to get my blood pressure OUT of the mild hypertension category! (Not to mention shed a few (or more!)pounds). Over the next 3 months I will be working hard so I can be retested!

Where Has the Time Gone?!
I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged. Ok, I take that back, yes I can. Between the kids and, well, everything else, I always forget to blog. My bad. All I can say now though, is... I'm baaaaaack!
So much is going on with the Beachbody front, and I'm so excited to be a part of the business opportunity! I see major growth in the months of July and August, which means more people coming together to fight this ugly epidemic called obesity.

The Fire came early
So this morning my workout consisted of Fire 30 and Stretch 10. For whatever reason it was hard for me to even get through the warm up today! I pushed myself through the workout but I could tell that I only gave maybe 30% of my effort. Maybe it is due to missing two days of workouts (one cardio and one core).
This time change is really throwing me off. So it is just after 10am and I still have yet to eat breakfast. As soon as I'm done posting this I'm going to go make my Shakeology (think I'm going to have Chocolate Mint today! Yumm!!) then do some running around. This afternoon I will do Fire 45EZ (my FAV!!) to make up for my lack of oomph this morning.
In my video down below I mentioned that I am going to restart my TurboFire, but I decided to just continue with this program and then start P90X (which I ordered last night!). After a series of days of not getting groceries, today I'm going to go load up on the Inferno plan's groceries. TOMORROW I will start the Inferno plan. I'll take pre-inferno weight and measurements and post-inferno weight and measurements to see how much of a change there is.
So... until next time peeps!

Day 2 of Cleanse Complete
What can I say about Day 2? Difficult. Nearly impossible. Insanely hard.
Don't fret all of you potential Shakeology Cleanse peeps. It really isn't that bad as long as you have the willpower, I think I just had a few forces going against me for the day. My day started at 1am when I woke up to go use the ladies room (thanks to the major increase in water intake! :) ). Much to my surprise, and ultimate bad timing, my 5 year old, whom I passed on the way to the restroom, threw up all over the bathroom. Would have been nice for him to say something to me about it before I was about to wet myself! So, after clean up, little man and I camped out in the living room just in case he got sick again. Much to my dismay, I couldn't sleep thanks to the hard floor and worry about getting thrown up on.
I didn't have much energy throughout the dayand didn't have a chance to take a nap until after the kids got home from school. I attempted to do my Turbo Fire workout - Fire 45 - but it was hard for me to get through just the warm up (which stinks cuz Fire 45 is one of my favorites!).
While out and about, getting my kids from school, I started to feel sick and light headed and made the decision to eat some french fries from McDonalds. To make up for the caloric increase, I skipped out on the chicken salad dinner and just opted for a Shakeology.
I managed to lose 2 pounds in day 2, which now brings my grand weight loss total to 6 lbs. Tomorrow I start the Inferno plan, so hopefully I'll be able to continue to lose weight!
Until tomorrow!

Day 1 of Cleanse Complete
Day 1 of my cleanse is now behind me. I am officially down 4 pounds exactly! I have gone from 208.4 to 204.4! Yeee haaaawwww!!
I was hoping to start my day today with renewed energy, however my little buddy Nick was up at 1am sick. I'm really needing my Shakeology today to give me energy! I missed my 5am workout because I was up with him too, but I'll fit it in after I get everyone to school. Yes - everyone. Little Man threw up just the one time and is adamant about going to school because he doesn't feel sick.
Bring on Day 2!!
What is the Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse?

Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse
Today I started the 3 day Shakeology cleanse. I have to be honest and say that I thought it was going to be tough. I tried it a few weeks ago and caved because I was so hungry! I'm glad to say that today was the complete opposite!
I woke up at 5am and did my Turbo Fire workout (Fire 55 EZ). I am SHOCKED that I actually crawled out of bed an hour before I normally do. I'm one to hit the snooze or totally reset my alarm for 6am any time I try to get up early. I honestly have no idea how I managed to get out of bed at 4:30am when I worked outside of the home!
Admittingly, I feel amazing as day 1 comes to a close. I didn't feel like I was being starved today like I did the first time I tried the cleanse (and caved by lunch on day 2). I almost had to force myself to eat my dinner (a very crisp, tasty salad with grilled chicken breast drizzled with 2 tablespoons of dressing). In typical Mistie fashion, I started to get the munchies as nighttime started to come but remembered that I had one more Shakeology to drink (snack #2).
I'm excited to see what day 2 has in store for me and you can bet that I will be updating this blog throughout my cleanse. In the meantime, I made a couple of videos today that I wanted to share. If spilling my dirty laundry doesn't hold me accountable, I don't know what will! (I think I would feel better about people knowing my inner most horrible parenting and weight-loss secrets if I was able to change the picture that is frozen for all eyes to see before pushing play).

And with that, my friends, I say goodnight. Tomorrow starts a new journey that starts with Fire 45!
Sweet Dreams!

My new Routine
I wasn't able to complete the ChaLEAN Extreme program due to a shoulder injury but I did go on to start a new program - Turbo Fire! What can I really say about this program that can really do it justice? I LOVE Turbo Fire! It is so intense, yet awesome!
Today was day 39. However, I haven't been able to do every workout due to knee surgery, but every day that I push play is one step closer to my goal! My day today consisted of Fire 30 and Tone 30. Unfortunately I didn't do the Tone 30 but the Fire 30 totally rocked! My 13 year old and I then proceeded to walk for about 8 full hours. I'm beat.
Tomorrow morning I will be doing Fire 55EZ. Funny though because it is NOT easy! :)
This is my workout today... (No, this is not me! :) This is Christine D. Another Beachbody coach!)
