Fall Fitness 30-Day Challenge Results (Day 30)

Hey Lovelies! Hope you’re having a terrific start to the week. I had to take last week off, but I missed you guys! The online shop launched (Woowhoo!), which was kind of an amazing feeling…but then my little nugget got sick (for the 1st time ever!) and then she got me sick too (Boo!) so it was crazy in our house.

This post is WAY overdue, but better late then never 🙂 November 1st marked Day 30 in my Fall Fitness 30-Day Challenge and below are my results. This quest to get back into shape was so much more difficult than I anticipated! With less time to workout and an ever-changing daily schedule, I felt like trying to maintain some sort of balance and consistency was the real challenge. There were honestly some days when I would just go for a long walk with Marli (when I SHOULD have completed some HIIT drills to burn more fat).

I am fairly happy with my progress, but it was definitely not where I wanted/hope I would be. I did lose a few pounds, but I didn’t make any major gains with building muscle. I think I could have pushed myself more with the intensity of my workouts, but this challenge was a good learning experience for me going forward.

Going forward, I know that I definitely need to plan out my meals and workouts better. This time around, I “winged” everything and it completely backfired on me. I definitely need to prep my meals ahead of time + set a timer to remember to eat! I swear some days I would skip a meal/snack because I was too busy chasing Marli around or didn’t pack a healthy snack when we were on the road. Also, I need to write down my daily schedule of activities/appointments + what workouts I should complete so I make sure to make time for it.

I have always admired Jamie Eason and she’s got a great 12-week program called Live Fit that I have personally done myself. When I was a regular at the gym, I completed her program and it worked. 🙂

This time around, I found it challenging to go to the gym since Marli was with me 24/7 so I referred to Melissa Bender for some workouts. Can I tell you how much I LOVE HER?!?!?! I found her a while back when I was considering doing an NPC Competition and she is LEGIT. She’s got ALL kinds of workouts for all different levels and she is really fantastic…AND she has videos of her workouts as well. Have a lovely day dolls!

I can TOTALLY see a difference, girl! Especially in the belly which is, in my opinion, the most difficult to see results! You are super woman!!
