Back To Basics

By


Hello again everyone!




Well here we go!




While renovating the downstairs of our new house, I lost internet connection but I am happily back up and running and very anxious to get my butt back into gear!




We were renovating the front room/my workout room - This room has definitely had changes from top to bottom and I am super happy with the results!




In our townhouse, before we moved, I always worked out in the livingroom and on the stairs, but when we moved here, to the farmhouse, the livingroom is upstairs and we felt like I was going to bust a floorboard haha, so the little red table now moves to the benches with fold up chairs for dinner and it tucks back into space for me to use my laptop and workout...




I must admit.... while we were renovating I didn't exactly keep to my regular routine, and even gained a couple pounds so I am super excited to jump back in and feel great! (especially with only a few small details missing from my room and the nicer weather approaching haha.)




On Monday, I will begin 21 fix workout program.... I'm thinking a few foods of choice might be fruit salad with greek yogurt, raw almonds, raisins and apples with Vanilla Chai shakeology.




What's on your agenda for Monday?




Since I will be starting fresh and new, some of my first steps will definitely be



meal planning,
grocery shopping,
meal prepping,
making water always accessible




so that I am 100% ready with no excuses when Monday comes!

10 Day Plank Challenge

Hello hello 😁 My first plank challenge experience, I fell in love with the idea of pushing through a 10 minute plank as soon as I heard it. (It was actually 18 minutes but 10 is a good start lol) I really struggle with planks and holding moves... to feel the burn is to put it mildly as I can't even put into words the flames I feel when attempting these moves sometimes... so it was perfect for me! I think I responded before actually even thinking it through LOL By day 3 I was asking myself what the heck I'd gotten myself into, HA! But shaking, sweating, tired or whatever... I also felt strong - I felt awesome when I finished actually! It's fun! I love the interaction betweeen everyone, it's nice to see 💕 So FIRST OF ALL - each day that everyone comes out, THANK YOU!
