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!

Whatever It Takes!
Ok, so I know I just weighed in two days ago, but I wanted to keep on track with the Facebook Challenge weigh-ins, too.
At the beginning of the 60-Day Challenge, I was at 159.2. Wednesday, I was at 161. Today I weighed in at 159.8 (just goes to show how much one will fluctuate). I'm feeling pretty good about the fact that I'm only up .6 lbs in the last two weeks. And here is why:
For those who don't know yet, I went out on May 3rd, and it is veeeeeery possible that something was slipped into my drink. I completely lost 4 1/2 hours of my night. Even now, that my sister has (finally!) talked to me and told me what happened, it is still completely black. Seriously, not a thing. Long story short...blacked out, got in a fight with a girl in the bathroom, attacked my sister, had to be picked up by my boyfriend (who I don't remember seeing at any point before I go back to the house), tried to jump out of his moving vehicle, he stopped, I DID jump out, and then wandered aimlessly through a not-so-safe part of town for HOURS! Around this time, I started to come back in a bit, and I remember trying to stop a car because I knew I needed to call someone. In the process, I fell in the street. I remember falling, and I remember it hurting, and I remember being really pissed that I fell. Then I went out again (not sure how long), and came back in to a cop asking if I needed help. Obviously, I did. He asked if I was Madison, and I said, yes, and he told me to sit on the curb because my Dad and brother in law had been looking for me. Then I went home. It was absolutely crazy. Did I drink? Yes. Enough to black out? Not even close. I wasn't even hungover the next day...at all. All the more reason that I think I was roofied. My Dad said he was talking to a co-worker, who is close friends with a cop. The cop told her that she needed to keep a watchful eye on her drinks when she was out because the amount of roofie cases happening right now is asinine. =/
So, there's that. Worst part? When I fell, I seriously jacked up my foot. I haven't been able to do an actual workout since May 3rd. I'm really sad about it. All I've been keeping up with is the arm-toning workout.
Another reason that I'm happy I haven't gained more weight is because when we were in Carbondale, all we did was eat crap food, drink beer, and not workout. We did walk Campus Lake and a little bit through Thompson Woods and the rest of campus, so there's that, at the very least. I wish I could have done more because it would have been really nice to get a workout in with Sara. =(
So, there's my story, and why I've been a little MIA lately.
Now, to add a little more stress, sadness, AND motivation into the mix. I got my blood test results back yesterday. Everything was completely normal. I was actually way more upset about it than I thought. I'm actually going to be working with my doctor to get more testing done for thyroid issues. While I'm very happy to know that my levels are normal across the board (I mean in EVERY thing), there are still issues. Like the fact that I'm eating right, drinking water, cut out soda, exercising daily (before the 3rd), and the weight wasn't coming off all that quickly AND I was still exhausted allllllllll the time. Those things are not normal. They don't compute. There are a few tests that they didn't do, that could actually show an issue with my Pituitary Gland, which could be causing me to be hypothyroid, without there being an issue with my Thyroid itself. Nonetheless, knowing what I know, I'm going to push harder than ever, and I'm going to continue this journey. Even if it means hiring a dietitian because it turns out there's nothing wrong with my Pituitary Gland, either!
Whatever it takes. My new motto in life...not just on my weightloss/get fit journey. Whatever it takes.

Be a Woman!
Don't sit back and judge other ladies. Don't be envious of their bodies, and don't let their bodies make you feel badly about yours. Be a woman! See other women, and congratulate them on their hard work. The only woman you should be competing with is YOURSELF! Be the best you that you can be, and empower other women to be the best women they can be! Work hard, get results!
