The countdown is on!  

Our daughter’s wedding is June 22. 

What am I doing to get fit?  

GOAL:  Lose 10 pounds. I weigh 149 right now.  GAIN Muscle!!  I am especially targeting the flabby arms and cellulite on the bottom half. The Six Products below are my daily companions to help me win this race to a Fit mother of the bride! Join me if you want to be accountability partners. Use this link to see if you qualify for a discount.

1. Interval training for a 45 minute walk 3 x a week with my 2 pound weights.  This means a 30 second sprint followed by a 90 second walk. REPEAT!  
2. I will ALWAYS eat an Access Bar 15 minutes before my workout*. Why? Read below.
3. Strength training.  I’ve never been faithful at this one and I’m trying to find a routine I can stick with.  More details below.
4. Of course my peak performance packs for my daily nutrition**. Why?  See below.
5. Fiberwise is essential to lose stubborn fat and have a healthy clean digestive tract.*** WHY?
6. Protein drinks.  Since we lose muscle mass at a rate of 3-5% after age 30, I need 90-100 grams of protein daily so I will eat two 30 gram shakes daily.  I will take one shake within one hour after my workout and one to curb the evening snack attack.****
7. GC Control: GIVE YOUR BODY THE GREEN LIGHT TO BURN FAT vs. STORE FAT!*****
8. Nutratherm:  one tablet twice daily.******
9. Of course drink my 80 ounces of water daily.  
10. Eat 1200 calories per day of smaller healthy snack/meals.  See below for Foods I will avoid the first 2 weeks to kick start my fat burning.

P.S. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE DELICIOUS TASTE OF ALL THE PRODUCTS BELOW!
It’s a treat I look forward to every single day!

1. *Access:  scientifically proven and patented to block your body’s “fat guard” so you can burn stored body fat as fuel, giving you greater endurance and less soreness.  Also helps prevent weight regain.

2. **I take my AM and PM peak performance packs so my body is not lacking nutrients and going into starvation mode, but can easily shed the fat cells safely.

To read how these packs helped me overcome an autoimmune disease, read this post.

3. ***Fiberwise:  promotes healthy weight loss.  Research says consuming 30 g fiber daily helps you lose as much weight as a complicated diet.  Improves regularity and digestion as well as sweep away toxins and waste.

4. ****Protein also helps limit cravings and of course build muscle and help you feel full and satisfied. Of course to build muscle, but I’ve noticed recently big ridges in my fingernails and thinning hair. These are lack of protein. I use Elevate PROTEIN, GF, 30 g protein, 6.8 BCAAs and 0 g Sugar.  It’s only $1.50 per serving. If you prefer no soy and plant based, they offer that too.

5. *****GC control: The name is because it helps you control your glucose levels.  It’s a natural blood sugar and weight support.

6. ******Nutratherm:  Burn FAT and Fire up your metabolism with Green coffee bean extract, green tea phytosome complex and capsaicin extract from peppers provide stimulant-free fat-burning support and helps slow blood sugar absorption.

FOODS I WILL AVOID IN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS:  bread, fruit, crackers, oatmeal, cereal, all beans, aspartame artificial sweeteners (I use Trim Healthy Mama Stevia called Super Sweet), diet products, fat free, sugar free, peanuts/peanut butter, soda, sweet tea, juice, corn, peas, carrots, pasta, rice, potaties, quinoa, popcorn, chips, cookies, cakes, ice cream, jelly, meat marinades, BBQ sauce, ketchup, tomato sauce, honey, agave nectar, edamame, veggie chips.

Salad dressings light or low fat.  Butter, half and half, milk in moderation.  NO Alcohol first 2 weeks.
