So I am halfway through my 30 day transformation with the home fitness program Hammer and Chisel! I love this program because you get the cardio, and the weight training!! You get a feel for the cross-fit type workouts, and the hard core lifting! I love it!!

So my first week, I will say I did not do so well with my nutrition. I give myself a little leeway and allow 1 cheat meal a week. I actually had about 5 that week! YIKES!!! But this past week I turned it up a notch and really dialed in on my nutrition! I had 2 Shakeology superfood shakes a day about 2 of the days, just to help me when I was craving! Now that Im through this week and have been clean, I am not even craving anything! That just comes to show your body will adjust to whatever you feed it!

So here they are!! I feel like my legs and arms didn’t change a whole lot, but I will say my abdomen has tightened for sure and the love handles are going away again!! Thats always my worst area!! I think most women can agree with me!

Here are some of my meals I had for this week:

Meal prep was a success!! We got lean meats like Tilapia, Turkey meatballs, egg whites, asparagus, green beans, man cakes, greek yogurt and fresh fruit, and Shakeology of course!!

Ok this last picture I have up was my new recipe I made from seeing sweet potato toast.. putting the sweet potato in toast did not work for me, so I made my own version with my own toppings!! I must say it turned out pretty darn amazing!!! Click image for recipe!!!

Even got to do some weight training with my little nugget!!

Sporting my new Every Sweat Matters tank to help support my friends who are helping those struggling!! We sweat for others to help get through struggles!! This foundation started when Katy (one who started ESM) was fighting cancer and going through chemo.  Now she started this up again when her best friend and our fellow Beachbody coach Taylor lost her little girl around 28 weeks very suddenly. Now we just sweat for those who can’t, who aren’t able, and support each other!! If you would like to support the Every Sweat Matters soon to be non-profit and sweat yourself to help someone you know struggling or fighting for their life, click link to get your own ESM tank or T-shirt! http://www.everysweatmatters.com

Last night my friend came over and she rocked out Hammer and Chisel for her first time!! Whitney is just starting her fitness journey so I am so darn thrilled for her!!! She has been kicking major butt since starting!!!

Ok so I am ready for week 3!! Time to bring it!!! I am going to do my prep later today and incorporate some new recipes and will share with y’all on here!!!! I’ll add some new holiday recipes so you can make and enjoy with your family and not have to feel guilty and fall off track!!
