90 day challenge update.

I started my 90 day challenge on August 16th by changing up my nutrition. Between supplements cutting out the junk, and eating better, I've lost 5 pounds. I also started P90X again, which has given me a boost. Until this past week that is. I'm not sure if it was the whole back to school thing or what, but this week was tough! I managed to stay pretty much on track diet wise, but my workouts suffered. I guess you can't always nail it, eh? So, back on track starting today! I had a shakeology for breakfast, some blueberries for a snack, and I'm in the process of doing some healthy menu planning for tonight (thinking steak and salad).

In other news, my mom decided to join the 90 day challenge with me, and she is down 4 pounds in under 2 weeks! Nice! I asked her how she liked it and she told me that she finds it is working well - especially because there aren't a lot of healthy eating options at work. She makes her shake at home and then has it for lunch. I'm guessing she's saving some money too. Every time you step foot in the cafeteria it's at least $8. I'm looking forward to getting out to Vancouver in a couple of weeks to see how good she's looking.

90 day challenge update.

Today is my third day of the 90 day challenge and while I haven't weighed myself yet, I'm already feeling lighter. I mean, I feel good...really, really good. Being married to a doomsayer has made me a bit of a skeptic, so when my friend Marcelo asked me to try this program out and write about it, I told him that I would try it, but I would be completely honest about my experience. Meaning -- if I hated it, that's what I would write. That didn't put him off, which was my first hint that this would be a positive experience.

Yes, it sounds like I am drinking the kool-aid, I know. But I feel amazing. In fact, I can't remember the last time I felt this even-keeled and positive. My best example is that this morning, when Cam threw one of her epic tantrums (the entire 15 minute drive to daycare), it didn't even phase me. Typically, I would get super stressed out and feel like my head was going to pop off. On my way home I got a call saying the mould excavators (long story) were coming in an hour instead of tomorrow and I had to get home and empty out our entire kitchen before they arrived. And I was fine. Like, really fine.

Oh yeah - and my hair is shiny and my skin is glowing. On Monday I was feeling like 10 pounds of poop in a 5 pound bag and today I feel wonderful. Okay, I'll stop now...
