12 Week Weight Loss Challenge "VEGAS Bound with my Bestfriend!!"

As some of you know Trenissa and myself have almost the same exact birthday, of course being best friends that would only make sense. Trenissa's birthday is May 24th and my birthday is May 21st. This year we have decided to treat ourselves to a well deserved Birthday Getaway!!! Where other than LAS VEGAS!!!! Being our 23rd & 24th Birthdays, We want to look as great as we feel!!!! This is where our 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge comes in! 

We invite you on our Weight Loss Journey!! 

Having Ayrilee took a little toll on my body, as most of you know pregnancies usually do :) Although in a way I was lucky she was born early, I didn't gain more than 37 pounds when I was pregnant, however after Ayrilee was born, l put on 15 more pounds living in the hospital hotel and eating all meals out. No excuses I wasn't exercising as much as I should and was not eating regular meals. I was was to consumed with being a new mom. After we returned to Williams Lake and we finally got our life back in order I had reached my heaviest weight I had been. I am 5' 5 and I weighed 196 pounds. I was not very happy with myself. But as the next summer came I made a promise to myself that I would never be this heavy again (unless a pregnancy takes me there :) ) 

September 2012 I tried on a pair of jeans I bought just before I was pregnant, there was no way I was squeezing into them! I wrote a note to myself that said " If you are wearing these jeans, I am very proud of you! Go out for a girly drink with a friend" I added a $20 bill. To my surprise two weeks ago Trenissa and I went out for appies and a drink, I reached in my back pocket to see what I was sitting on, there was my $20 and a note to myself! Sounds kind of silly, but I really was proud of myself. I have now lost a total of 41 pounds and weigh 155 pounds!!

I am still not where I want to be, but together with my best friend, Trenissa and all of our followers we will work hard and do our best at this "12 Week Challenge" 

No, it was not fun taking this photo, but it sure is fun looking back.

Being a Fitness Instructor I put together a workout plan that will fit easily into our busy mom lives. We will be working out 4 times a week for 30 minutes. I have designed this program to incorporate multiple body parts in one move so you can get the most out of each workout. I have tried so many weight loss programs and personal training guides, but its always the same thing. I am interested for the first 2, 3 maybe even 4 weeks then I start to find excuses not to do my workout, or go to the gym, and eventually I get bored and quit all together. I know Boo Quitter!!! But it happens so often, workouts become boring and time consuming, you don't see results and you don't stay interested. If this is you then I can help. Our workout plan is designed to do with kids running around, on a busy schedule and with only a few pieces of workout equipment. For this workout you will need a free weight, 5lb or 8lb works great (or two cans of soup one in each hand); a yoga mat (a towel or the carpet works too); an exercise ball (can use dining room chair for most exercises) and a water bottle!!

Stay in touch, I will be adding our workout schedule soon :) Does anyone have Workout Stories they would like to share???? We would love to hear your feedback. If you are on a weight loss journey, You have already done the hardest part!!! Stay with it, any workout takes at least 6 weeks to see a difference!!!
