16 Weeks Before NPC Figure Showtime!!

It has been a rough weekend!! Way too many temptations in my way!!! On a good note, I did stay strong for the most part, getting in every workout I needed to.  My nutrition stayed on track during the day and I was very strict, but from Friday until yesterday, I had 1 meal off and now its official… NO MORE CHEAT MEALS until show time!!!
I can definitely tell a difference with my body and feel like I’m starting to tone certain areas of my body, especially my deltoids, quads, and back! YAY!!!
I am seeing veins in my arms I never thought I could see lol!!
Just a little re cap of this week:

The shirt says it all! Just because its tough, doesn’t mean you should give up!
The toughest things in life are always the most rewarding if you stick with it and never give up!!

16 1/2 weeks out 

People have been asking me, “why are you doing that to your body?”, and “why are you trying to look like a man?”…. Oh silly questions… heres the deal for anyone interested in my answer… And please don’t take this harsh… I would never tell anyone how to live their life and what to do with their body unless they ask for my help, so I would expect the same in return! We have our own life for a reason, and its to do what we want with it! So please let me live my life how I want and do what i want to my body!
I feel amazing being able to have all this energy for my kids, and to look healthy and good for them… Teaching my boys early about health and nutrition is important so they can follow in my footsteps and not be over weight and make bad choices when they are independent.
I never force anything upon them, but it felt damn good yesterday when I went for my last cheat meal at red robin and my 3 1/2 yr old wanted apples over french fries! That right there shows Im doing something right!!
Thats my WHY!! 😉

SHAKEOLOGY– my favorite meal!!

I seriously feel like every time I drink my shake, Im cheating!! Im getting my super foods, anti oxidants, digestive enzymes, pre and probiotics, amino acids, and its all natural!! Yea buddy!!

CLICK HERE to learn more about this health shake meal replacement that I replenish my body with!! 
Its so easy to say, “its too expensive” or “I don’t have time to eat healthy”, but did you think about how expensive fast food is, or doctor visits, hospital stays, or medication?  Did you think about how long it takes to go through a drive though and wait in line?  By the time you are done waiting in line, your shake could be made and you save 4$ each meal!!
 So if your WHY is important enough and you are ready to commit to your health, its time to set excuses aside and really take action to provide your body with nutrients to fuel your body and improve your overall health and well-being!

PiYo every morning!

I have done PiYo every morning as my morning workout and it feels so good to get in that stretch, especially after lifting!

It is important to me to maintain my flexibility now that I got it with 60 day PiYo test group, so my mission is to continue building with this!

This workout has been very easy for me to do with my children at home because the moves are attempted by my children without them getting injured!   So its a win-win for all!!

So overall, I had a great week (minus 3 off meals), but have done a ton of workouts, so I saved myself with those!! Now its game on, and I am slightly nervous, but I have to make it happen! What better way to keep myself accountable than posting it to the world!!
