Fabulously Fit Friday 60

It’s been awhile, but it’s time for Fabulously Fit Friday! I can’t wait to share with you what I’ve been up to for the last three weeks, fitness-wise!

So! I’m officially on Week 12 of the Bikini Body Guide starting Monday! I can’t believe it! YES! That is the last week of the program!

Am I ripped and totally sexy now?

Um, no. 

My husband and I had to sit down and have a serious talk. You have to understand, I’m not the type of person to eat crappy delicious food and cookies all night, so it’s really hard when I’m already eating healthy and working out to get results from a program. I also have a lot of hormonal shit at play here. So, yes, it isn’t fair and I’ll never get those results that I dream about. 

But that doesn’t stop me from trying! I’m replanning some of my meal and snack choices, along with some help from my husband with analyzing my habits and choices. And I think I’ll eventually feel like I’ve done all I can do and be happy with that. 

One of the things we talked about was stripping things back to basics. As in, instead of an apple with peanut butter, just eat an apple. Instead of celery with hummus, eat the celery. I get caught up in a lot of extras (toppings, swirls, add ins, dips, etc). I’m a foodie for Pete’s sake! But I like the idea of stripping things back and starting over for awhile. I need to really get back to tasting the basics. 

Anyways! My days have been filled with lots of varied workouts, Monopoly Junior with my husband in the evenings (while he rolls his eyes and humors me), lots of crafty moments, and begging for sunshine. 

I’ve been trying to incorporate a Tone It Up workout into my day, either right when I get up, or right when I get home from work, because it’s a very short burst of exercise to mix up my day. Also, I’m trying to get in a little yoga (even if it’s just stretching) as often as possible…and I’m trying to decide what to do after next week when the 12 weeks of BBG is officially over.
