22 MINUTE HARD CORPS SUMMER STRONG CHALLENGE GROUP
It's hump day!!! It's also week one of my 22 MHC Summer Strong Challenge group and man I must admit I've been struggling the past couple of days. I had already completed the 8 weeks of 22 MHC plus Hell Week, but I loved it so much I decided to do a 4 week challenge group, so others could see how awesome the program is too. My diet and workouts were on spot then along comes Nurse's week and everything went to crap. A co-worker's wife cooked up a huge spaghetti meal and 2 retired nurses brought in all kinds of goodies, so for 4 nights straight we did nothing but eat and eat junk at that.
The sugar overload has caused me to struggle during my workouts I can really feel the difference. But today I feel awesome, so hopefully all the crap is out of my system and I can get back on track to losing the weight! I'm so excited to help these ladies in my challenge group find their path to success and they all seem so fired up and ready to KILL IT!!! Eating the right foods in the right combination and the right portions is the key to success. I know, I know it sounds complicated, but
Autumn Calabrese (creator of the 21 Day Fix) figured it all out for us and with her simple to follow portion fix meal plan you can't go wrong, as long as you follow the meal plan ;)
I tell my challengers to take Sundays and plan out their meals for the week. Then go shopping for the foods they'll need. Next come home and prep those veggies, wash 'em, cut them up, measure them out into easy to grab containers, so when you're in a hurry you won't have any excuses not to eat healthy. Make some dishes up a head of time and freeze them, for the same reason I just mentioned. Success is in the planning and if you don't have a plan then you're planning to fail.
HERE'S A COPY OF MY MEAL PLAN FOR THE WEEK. I FALL UNDER PLAN 3 (1,800-2,099 calories)
WEEKLY RATIONS PLAN 3

Definitely plenty of food, but that doesn't mean I won't be "Jones-ing" for junk food, right? Portion Fix is a Clean Eating Meal Plan, which means no processed foods, sugar, or fatty foods-basically everything I've been eating for years-Helluar Food Addict Here (checkout my blog
Why Am I Hungry Again?! )!! So, if you're like me then you'll be going through a few days of detox just like any other addict who gives up their vice. But after about the 3rd or 4th day you should be through the withdrawal and with the help of
Shakeology you'll start to feel a whole lot better. Shakeology has been a game changer for me and my weight loss it is what got me to my goal weight last time (I lost 175 lbs, I was literally half the person I use to be, cray cray, right?). I hate vegetables and it takes care of that for me-YEAH!

Eating right is only part of the equation the other part is your fitness a.k.a. working out. This is the part that a lot of people dread and they can find the most excuses for not doing. I personally have always enjoyed working out, so I look forward to my workouts they are actually therapeutic for me. Checkout the
Mental Health Benefits of Working Out . Since I have a specific goal in mind, To look awesome by Summit July 28th, & I've already done one round of 22MHC I've decided to do a Hybrid of my own design with
The Master's Chisel program to help me develop more lean muscle, change the landscape of my body, and get better definition.
When it comes to your workouts you have to schedule them on your calendar just like you do any other appointment, because they are just as important,
if not more important.
**The workouts don't have to be at the same time everyday, but they do need to be scheduled at a specific time everyday.**
Here's my workout schedule for the week:
(I know it looks like I'm resting at the beginning of the week, but I work 12 hour nightshift weekends, so Mondays are the end of my week ;)
Monday: REST
Tuesday: Chisel Endurance 9:00 am/ Resistance 1 6:00 pm
Wednesday: Iso Strength Chisel 9:00 am/Cardio 1 6:00 pm
Thursday: Chisel Agility 9:00 am/Resistance 1 6:00 pm
Friday: Total Body Chisel 9:00 am/ Cardio 2 3:30 pm
Saturday: Chisel Cardio 3:30 pm/ Resistance 1 4:00 pm
Sunday: Chisel Balance 3:30 pm/ Cardio 1 4:00 pm
IT'S TIME TO GET IT ON! NO, IT WON'T BE EASY, BUT BABY IT WILL BE WORTH IT! STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS FOR MY WEEKLY UPDATES ;)
