Get Fit with Coach Christy

This past week myself and an accountability partner did a 5 Day Kick Start program, where we followed the Inferno Meal Plan from the TurboFire workout program, which included a Shakeology each day. We also added a workout each day. Each day of our program we kept each other accountable with daily texts. To read about my daily program, click here.

Here are some of the comments my partner, Lynne Saine, had to say throughout the week:

When faced with the challenge of the ritual of driving through a drive-thru after her niece’s basketball game, she had this to say, “…. I got NOTHING! I brought my Shakeology to the game. It was delicious and filling. ”

When faced with desserts served at her Gold Canyon party, she stayed strong and followed her plan, “I ate before my party so I would not eat at the party. I DID NOT! Although it was hard.” And yes, sometimes it is hard to pass on yummy treats.

Then I got the best compliment, “I would really like to continue this program with you, because it really makes a difference when you are accountable to someone every day, and I love the shakes ”

And finally, our results….

My friend, Lynne Saine lost 4.5 pounds and 4 inches!!! So excited for her, this is a great way to get things moving and continue on a healthy way to live.

My results…. I lost 6.8 pounds and 4.5 inches. I feel lighter, have more energy and can’t wait to keep it rolling off!

OMG I am so behind on blogging about my 5 day program! So let me quickly get this in so I can tell you about my results!

Day 4 began with a Turbo Jam workout. Breakfast = my favorite… Shakeology of course! This time is was with banana and peanut butter, yum! Such an easy meal to make when you are busy making kids lunches for school!

After taking my cat to the doctor, I had my snack of an apple with peanut butter.

I was really ready for lunch by the time I picked up my daughter from school. 2 hard-boiled eggs mixed with cottage cheese and Dijon mustard. Sounds weird, but it was delicious! Put in a tortilla with a side salad.

Snack consisted of an orange and almonds, in actuality, the plan calls for raw almonds, but I just couldn’t pass up the chocolate mint flavored roasted almonds. Oranges are not my favorite thing to eat, they taste good, but sure are a pain to peel. If anyone has a special trick, please let me know!

Dinner was switched with Day 3, because we have a family “Taco Thursday” so Day 3′s dinner recipe fit right in for Day 4. Our chicken tacos were served with black beans and quinoa. I’m still not sure how I like quinoa. I’m not sure I’m cooking them right.

Well that’s the end of Day 4. Stay tuned for Day 5!

So my challenge tonight was to find a similar dinner at a restaurant that I would have eaten at home per my scheduled meal plan.

This is what I found at Cocoa’s. Grilled chicken with brushetta, cooked spinach and steamed broccoli. I gave my husband the evil eye when he kept the bread they put on the table and almost ordered dessert!

We ate dinner around 5:30pm. Now it is 9:30pm and I am hungry. Can’t wait to go to bed and forget about it! Although my big challenge comes in the morning, when I can’t eat until after my physical appointment at 9:30am.

At around 11:00am, I got very hungry, was really wishing it was lunchtime. The thing is, it could have been. I’m so used to picking up my daughter from school and going out to lunch, it never occurred to me that I could eat my own lunch before I picked her up. When I did pick her up, she immediately asked for her favorite fast-food restaurant. I told her that we were going home to eat, and if she did not want to eat at home, she was going to have to wait for me to eat my lunch. She chose to wait.

My lunch was this delicious salad with tuna mixed with celery, scallions and ranch dressing.

My favorite meal of the day came as my afternoon snack, Chocolate Shakeology with Almond Butter. Yum Yum!

My big challenge for today is going to be to replicate what I’m scheduled to eat for dinner tonight at a restaurant for date night.
