Metabolism Makeover class ended a week ago and we then started a 28 day program. Today is day 7 and I am loving it. Every meal, every day is mapped out for you along with a small and simple substitution list, which is great because onions are on menu, eww! Following this has been super easy and the food and snacks are delish. Loving vanilla protein powder mixed with cottage cheese, walnuts and fruit. Today, Sunday, is all protein ~ Meal 1 was 5 egg whites and 3 whole omega-3 eggs; Meal 2 was chocolate pro pow, peanut butter mixed together with water, always a fav; Meal 3 was 6 oz. of top round; Meal 4 was 6 egg whites and 1 oz. cheddar cheese
and Meal 6 will be 6 oz. shrimp, smart balance butter and walnuts (I'm substituting coconut for walnut). Most other meals consist of fish and of course chicken.Workouts have changed to, lots more running, which I'm actually starting to like. Saturday I did leg 2 in the Dandelion Run, a 1/2 marathon. My portion was 3 miles, most of which was up hill. It was brutal, but once over I felt great. I'd accomplished something I never would have thought possible.
Anyone who has the opportunity to join Ben's Bootcamp and Metabolism Makeover should! Not only have I lost loads of pounds, fat and inches, I've gained self-esteem, the ability to try things outside my comfort box and know that I can do them, I've gained the knowledge and was given the tools to learn to change my eating habits. I've gained great new friends who motivate me every day to push myself and be the best I can be.
