Calories Burned with Jillian Michaels Body Revolution 90-Day Program

I posted this a few months ago, and I totally didn't keep up with it.  I will be starting the entire program over on Monday, July 29th.  I know that I will see incredible changes in my body, if I would just keep at it!!  It's time to tell my family, "Sorry, I can't." more often, and keep to my schedule.  It's 90 DAYS!  There is NO reason I can't do this!  Morgan and I will be starting a little friendly 2-month challenge on August 1st.  The lesser loser of the two will be buying the other a $10 gift certificate to somewhere like Target or Barnes and Noble or something like that.  A little competition between friends is a great way to keep each other on track.  I really hope to keep at this.  If I start on the 29th, and keep at it, I can be enjoying my new body by October 27th!  I'm getting my diet back on track right now and start my workouts on Monday.



Ok, so I'm going to keep this post and update it with each workout. Now that I have my HRM, and it's working, I'll be able to see exactly how many calories I burn each 30 minutes spent with Ms. Michaels.

**The totals up for now are there just for my reference, so I can compare and make sure I'm really, really pushing myself!!**

New Recipe - Clean Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

Clean Alfredo Sauce!  Ok, so this isn't the best, most appetizing photo, but holy cow, is it ever delish?!  Here's where I found the recipe: http://pinchofyum.com/creamy-cauliflower-sauce

 

I think I used a little bit more butter than I should have, but I just kept adding a little bit of everything at a time, mixing in the food processor, and tasting until I achieved the perfect mock Alfredo.  And honestly, I still didn't use more than 4 tbsp of the Heart Healthy Smart Balance, and considering how many servings are made from this, I think we're ok.  Plus, since I'm really trying to eat clean, I served this over noodles I made out of zuchini on THIS nifty item, which is another positive to combat the butter...right?

Side note: I got mine for about 20 bucks less than they're advertising right now, but knowing what I know now...I'd still buy it at the current price. It's for real awesome

 

So...it has been a very long time since anyone has posted anything!  I posted to see about whether or not you wanted to change the name of the blog that would be more suiting for all of us that are currently trying to lose weight, get lean, and strong, and find true happiness in our bodies.  Are there ANY ideas?

 

And please don't forget, that if you're an author, it is truly motivating to read what you're doing and eating for those that may have fallen off the wagon.  I know I did, but I'm back on now, and I hope to get back to posting.  I bought a clean eating guide, and will be sharing the results I get.  If you want to jump in, and buy the guide right now, you can find all the information HERE!  I follow her on Instagram @Slimfitbean and I find her to be refreshing.  She talks a lot about the changes that she's made in a no nonsense kind of way.  It is great to have someone say, "Hey, this is what I do because it works for my body.  Here are some tips to get you started, but PAY ATTENTION and find what works for you!"  Seriously, her body transformation is amazing, and one I would LOVE to achieve, so I'm starting with her tips, and going to see what works!  I'm very excited.

 

 Anyway, where is everyone?  How have you been doing?  Any milestones achieved that could really give an extra push to find the motivation that may have been lost?  Anyone struggling and need some support?  Speak up, ladies!  We'll never get where we're hoping to be without some very hard work and some very strong support!  Hope everyone is doing well, and I look forward to hearing from everyone soon!
